Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character
Chapter 247 Gathering and Raising Cubs in the Wasteland
After finishing his meal, he took a walk around the yard. The yard was clean and tidy, but there was nothing to dry. Xiao Changxuan was a little unhappy and took out a few small stones from a corner to play with.
When I felt hot, I went back to my bedroom. My mother said that I shouldn't play in the yard if it's hot.
I took a nutritional supplement at noon, climbed into bed and took a nap. When it wasn't too hot, I went to the gate of the yard to wait for my mother.
Chang Dongning, who left home at around 3 a.m., took a different route and boarded a bus to another collection site.
It was a complex collection point, with fruit trees, root vegetables, and many large-leaved plants.
The collection point was quite far away, and it took an hour and a half of bumpy travel to get there. After getting off the bus, Chang Dongning looked around and chose the direction with the fewest people.
This is a plant with very small leaves. Two people went in first and used testing tools to examine the leaves one by one. Chang Dongning also started by examining the leaves. Her real purpose was the orchard behind this plant; she wanted to get some fruit to eat.
"Drip, moderate radiation, consume in moderation."
Chang Dongning picked the leaf that couldn't cover her palm, feeling a little disappointed. After half an hour of testing, she had only managed to get such a small leaf.
But why does this leaf look so familiar?
Chang Dongning carefully examined the plant, which was over a meter tall. It consisted of leaves and stems, but nothing else.
Could it be?
Chang Dongning reached into the basket on his back, and using it as cover, took out a small shovel and started digging.
After digging for half an hour, her shoulder wound was starting to throb slightly, when she finally found a different kind of root. It had dense, round rhizomes, not very big, smaller than a two-year-old's fist, and perfectly round.
Chang Dongning wiped the dirt off the skin, revealing a light red skin. She tried to pierce it with the testing scissors, but couldn't get through. Undeterred, she tried again, but still couldn't get through.
He used scissors to press down and then cut with a dagger, finally making an incision.
"Beep, low-level radiation, unknown organism, consume with caution."
Chang Dongning looked at the cut of the dagger, peeled back the red skin, and it looked exactly like a peanut, a peanut without a shell.
The outer shell has mutated and disappeared, but the inner skin has mutated to be incredibly tough.
Chang Dongning remembered that there were quite a few of these small-leaved plants. Could they be eaten? She could almost hear the sound of gold coins being deposited into her account.
This plant has a well-developed root system, with roots that are all intertwined. Chang Dongning didn't go out; he just sat in the pit and used a dagger to cut open each one to test it. He collected the ones with moderate and low radiation into his space. The yield was decent; about one-fifth of them were edible.
At ten o'clock, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and the scabbed wounds were slightly stinging. Chang Dongning climbed out of the pit, then huffed and puffed to fill it back up. He picked some leaves and put them in his basket, then walked quickly toward a place with trees.
Around eleven o'clock, Chang Dongning finally arrived in the woods. She plopped down in the shade of a tree, panting heavily. The sun outside was making her dizzy. Three people under a tree not far away glanced in her direction before looking away.
A basket full of leaves—this kind of behavior is generally considered fruitless in the wasteland—I wanted to try my luck again during my lunch break, so I randomly picked a basket to test.
Chang Dongning didn't care what others thought. She caught her breath, leaned against a tree, ate a vial of nutrients, and drank a sip of water. To be honest, the water that had been sitting in the sun in her basket all morning tasted lukewarm and unpleasant, but she didn't dare use her spatial ability in this forest where everyone was taking their afternoon nap.
After resting, she actually tested all the leaves in her basket and found another small leaf with moderate radiation. No wonder there were almost no people in the peanut field; the leaves were so small that even a few wouldn't be enough to fill a tooth gap.
In the afternoon, she realized that she was not well prepared. There were indeed some low-lying fruit trees in the grove, but all the fruit she could reach had already been inspected by others. She stood in front of the fruit with many scratches of varying depths, hesitated for a while, and then decisively gave up and turned to plunge into a patch of leafy greens.
She'll come back to this place tomorrow; she's going to buy some tree-climbing equipment when she gets back today.
Round-leafed vegetables taste good and have large leaves; one leaf is enough for a whole plate. This is where the most people are getting their samples tested. Chang Dongning lowered his head and carefully looked for leaves without scratches to test.
Plants that can successfully mutate and survive in the wasteland are extremely resilient. Even if they are torn and tattered, as long as their roots are not completely destroyed, they can heal and grow back. This includes the fruits; as long as you don't pick them, even if you peel off all the skin, they can grow a new layer of skin.
In the afternoon, her luck seemed to improve. From around 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., nearly two hours, she harvested five large leaves. Of course, only one moderately irradiated round leaf vegetable and two peanut leaves were in her basket. Such a harvest was not conspicuous, but it made sure the travel expenses were not wasted.
She quietly put the rest into her spatial storage.
Back in the safe zone, she first went to the trading hall, where she bought a tree-climbing aid and several small insulated boxes before going home.
"Mom!" Chang Xuan called out happily as he stood guard at the door.
"Xuanxuan, have you found breakfast yet?"
"Found it, it's in the cabinet," Xuanxuan opened it.
"Yes, it's at the very bottom of the refrigerator. Tomorrow, Mom will put your breakfast in this insulated box and put it on the kitchen table. Remember to eat it, and then eat the food from the refrigerator at noon." Chang Dongning put down the basket, took out the newly bought insulated box, and told him how to open it.
This morning she didn't dare make porridge, afraid it would spoil. Putting it in the refrigerator would make it cold. She just saw an insulated box in the trading hall. The instruction manual said it could be used to pack lunches for people collecting food in the field, to extend the shelf life of the food, and to prevent leaks when sealed.
She might not need it, but she can use it to save breakfast for Xiao Xuanxuan.
"Okay." Chang Xuan carefully arranged the empty insulated box.
Did you take a nap at noon?
"I'm asleep, the bed isn't hot."
"Because we installed a thermostat at home, it won't be hot anymore."
Chang Dongning, in response to his childish words, simply washed her hands and face, stir-fried some chicken, made a cold salad of leafy greens, and added nutritional supplements and rice porridge. The mother and son ate a dinner with both meat and vegetables.
Using the basket as cover, she placed the leafy greens from the space on the top shelf of the refrigerator, and then took out some peanuts without skins, putting half in the refrigerator and half in a winnowing basket.
"Xuanxuan, Mommy will put this by the door tomorrow. Can you take it out and dry it for me?"
"Okay, Xuanxuan will."
