Fang Zhou, I'm just a farmer, not Shennong!

Even though it wasn't cooked, just looking at it in her hand, Tallulah couldn't help swallowing a mouthful. Obviously, she was tempted by the appearance of the potatoes.

It wasn't just Talulah who had this reaction, Froststar as well.

"How is it? I know you don't believe it, but I support tasting. If you don't believe me, you two ladies can cook a piece and try it first to see how it tastes."

Being able to say this, it is almost certain that they are not plainclothes military police sent from Ursus at all, but serious agricultural scholars from other countries.

"Then let's try..."

Tallulah and Frost Star led Lu Yuan to the campfire in the center of the village, picked up a burning piece of wood from the campfire and threw it under the cooking pot next to the campfire.

He picked up a handful of snow from the side, cleaned it up briefly, and threw it into the pot, burning it with flames.

Soon, the simple iron pot was heated, and the snow in the pot melted into boiling water. Tallulah peeled the potatoes and threw them into the boiling water, which gurgled for a while.

The potatoes are fully cooked.

Tallulah took a bowl, put the potatoes in it, and then took a deep breath in front of everyone and ate a big mouthful of the hot potato.

next second.

Tallulah's eyes lit up.

The potato tasted exceptionally sweet and sticky. When she took a bite and it entered her mouth, slid down her throat and esophagus to her stomach, Tallulah felt as if a ball of fire suddenly dispelled the chill and warmed her body.

"!!!"

Tallulah's heart was pounding.

It’s not a trap, it’s real!!!

It’s really edible and not poisonous at all!!

Moreover, the quality of this potato is quite high, higher than all the potatoes sold on the market.

Tallulah turned her head and looked at the pile of potatoes above the SUV outside the village.

"It seems our compatriots have finally found food for a while!!"

Although Tallulah was extremely happy in her heart, her expression remained calm.

"It tastes good, Yelena, you come and try it."

Frost Star on the side looked cold, but in fact she had been impatient for a long time. The long-term use of Originium skills made Frost Star's body as cold as an ice cave all year round, and what she liked most was naturally to eat some hot food.

The steaming potato in front of him, coupled with its fragrant taste, was constantly stimulating Frost Star's taste buds, which had not been tasted by many condiments.

Frost Star took it and took a small bite.

In an instant, the fragrance of potatoes filled Frost Star's mouth.

Frost Star had naturally eaten potatoes before.

But all the potatoes she had eaten before were far inferior to this one, which was soft and sticky. Although it was just an ordinary potato, its quality was so high that it was hard to imagine that such a potato could be grown from the same seeds.

The moment Frost Star swallowed it.

The potatoes continued to release heat in Frost Star's stomach, making her cold stomach walls unusually warm, as if she was thrown into a sauna, which was extremely comfortable.

Frost Star's eyes suddenly lit up. She turned her head and looked at Tallulah, and Tallulah immediately understood what she meant.

"Sir, many households in the village are short of staple food. You can save us from going to the city. I'll take all these potatoes."

Tallulah said this casually, glancing at a large basket of potatoes on the roof of an SUV outside the village.

"Sure, sure. I was just worried about having too many to sell. I went around to other villages and only managed to sell about a thousand kilograms. Since you want them here, that's great! It saves us from having so many potatoes go bad. I have a little over a thousand kilograms left in the car, but I still have over two thousand kilograms in my fields. Do you want them?"

"There are still more than 2,000 kilograms! !"

Tallulah was stunned for a moment, then she was ecstatic.

She had just roughly calculated that more than a thousand kilograms of potatoes would be enough for everyone in the integration movement to carry for a while if they lived frugally. Unexpectedly, there were still more than two thousand kilograms!

This is simply a pleasant surprise!

"Then let's take both."

Tallulah nodded.

"Okay. I'll put these potatoes here first and come back to get them. My experimental field is not far from here, just below that small hill."

"OK, thanks."

Lu Yuan poured the large basket of potatoes from the roof of the car onto the ground in the center of the village.

Qiantalula had some, but due to the sensitive nature of their identities, they had no way of purchasing them from proper places. They could only go to the surrounding villages to buy from ordinary villagers, or exchange them for goods.

There are more than 1,000 kilograms of potatoes here, and they cost more than 9,000 yuan.

After Tallulah paid the cash, Lu Yuan set off and drove to the experimental field to transport all the remaining potatoes.

After Lu Yuan drove away.

Talulah, the tense composure on Frost Star's face finally gave way and collapsed in an instant, revealing only happiness.

"Tallulah! We're so lucky! We actually got to meet someone like this!!"

Frost Star was extremely excited. The half-eaten potato she had just eaten successfully aroused the hunger in her taste buds, making her eager to eat another one.

"Tell my fellow countrymen to throw all these potatoes into the warehouse. No one should go out for the time being. Wait until that person delivers all the potatoes before going out. Everyone should still remain vigilant!"

A group of people quickly moved more than a thousand kilograms of potatoes and stored them all in a dry warehouse.

at this time.

A "snow monster" wrapped in snow-white tactical clothing appeared beside Shuangxing and whispered, "Big sister, I just quietly followed that person and saw that he was telling the truth. He really is an agricultural scholar. There's a small field next to our village, about two kilometers down the hillside. He didn't lie to us!"

This is a scout from the Frost Star Snow Monster Squad. Under the personal training of the Patriot, his reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities have gradually acquired the style of a regular army.

"call...."

Listen to the snow monster's report.

Froststar and Tallulah breathed a sigh of relief, while Alina was happily sorting and calculating the inventory in the warehouse.

Not a moment later.

Lu Yuan is here again.

This time, his car was still full of golden potatoes, each one was big and plump, and there were no defective ones.

"This is all of it. A total of about 2,400 kilograms. The difference is about 14,000. You can give 14,000."

"Thank you, but I don't have much cash right now. Can I trade with something of equal value?"

"of course can."

Lu Yuan didn't care about this. With his net worth already exceeding 10 billion, he really didn't care about such a small amount of money.

"Thank you."

Immediately, Tallulah took out a watch from her doubt. The watch seemed to be a bit old, but there was still no rust on it. It was shiny and the hands inside were still ticking.

"Is this okay?"

Tallulah was still a little worried that Lu Yuan would not agree, and she had already prepared an excuse in her heart. In fact, Tallulah knew very well that even if this watch was sold at a second-hand price in Ursus, if someone knew the value of it, it would be nothing to buy it for tens of thousands of dollars.

"can."

Lu Yuan didn't even look at it and put the watch directly in his pocket. This action made Tallulah stunned, but then she felt relieved.

An agricultural scholar who could come to the Ursus tundra to conduct experiments must be of extraordinary status and high knowledge. Moreover, his car alone is conservatively estimated to be worth at least tens of millions.

He certainly doesn't need this little money.

Perhaps, as he said, he was selling potatoes purely to clear out his inventory and was not trying to make such a small profit, so he didn't care.

"Thank you."

Talulah expressed her gratitude and asked her fellow infected people to move all the potatoes to the warehouse.

"There are more here."

Lu Yuan threw an extra small bag on the ground and said.

"These potatoes are generally small, there are only about 700 kilograms in total, so I'll give them to you as a bonus."

Tallulah and Froststar didn't expect that they would meet such a generous person, and hurriedly expressed their gratitude.

"Thank you."

Lu Yuan looked at the busy villagers and said casually, "Your place is really remote. It's a long way from the nearest town, and it's cold too. It's usually below 30 degrees below zero. There aren't many of you here. Why do you live here?"

When Tallulah heard this, she immediately explained it with the words she had already prepared: "Because I have no household registration and no money."

"Ordinary residents living in our village don't have household registration. Even if they did, they wouldn't have the money to live in the city. The mobile city is only so big, and everyone wants to go there. Moreover, even if we go to the mobile city and work there, we can only barely make a living. We probably won't have the freedom we have in the village."

Lu Yuan nodded, then looked around a few times and turned to leave.

With the roar of the engine, the off-road vehicle drove away into the distance, and the scout was completely sure that Lu Yuan had left.

Only then did Tallulah breathe a sigh of relief and told everyone that they could come out.

Hundreds of infected people suddenly rushed out of the house, looking at the potatoes that were being transported like a small hill, and they all smiled broadly.

"We can have a full meal tonight!"

Tallulah decided to fill the stomachs of her hungry compatriots tonight and continue planning their diet starting tomorrow.

"There are so many potatoes, enough to feed everyone for a while!"

the other side.

While driving, Lu Yuan looked at the box that suddenly popped up in front of his field of vision.

[Mainline Node: Ursus has been opened]

[Current progress is zero percent]

[A reward will be issued every time the progress bar increases by 25%, and the ultimate reward will be given when the progress bar reaches %]

"It triggered it."

When Lu Yuan saw this pop-up window, he was not surprised. Everything was as he expected.

What Lu Yuan found more interesting than this pop-up window was the identities of everyone in the village just now.

They are not ordinary villagers. Although they pretend to be, their true identity is a group of...

'Infected'.

After awakening the [Fairy Wood Body], Lu Yuan's perception became increasingly outrageous.

If the passive skill is the same, he can sense everything around his body without actively sensing it.

Similarly, he can resonate with all plants and observe everything through the plants' perspective.

Therefore, Lu Yuan could easily see the scouts following him. There were several infected people in every wooden house in the village, and there were also troops hiding around the village waiting for an opportunity to move.

Among them, although the leader of this army did not know his appearance, Lu Yuanque could clearly sense the extremely powerful strength in his body and the slowly draining vitality and strength.

That powerful "life form" should be the person with the highest degree of infection Lu Yuan has ever seen, but he is still alive and can maintain such terrifying power, which shows how strong he was at his peak.

Although he was slightly more powerful than the blood demon who had intercepted him before, he was far superior to the black-capped shadow guards sent by Commander Wei to protect him.

Combined with Ursus' extremely harsh policy towards the infected.

Lu Yuan could easily imagine that all the people in this village were infected people who had escaped and were living in poverty.

This is really a helpless move.

In Ursus, the situation of the infected is much worse than that of Lungmen.

Lu Yuan didn't think much about it. After returning to the No. 1 experimental field, he started the second round of experiments on cold-resistant potatoes. He planned in his heart that he would sell the potatoes at a low price in the future.

I happened to take this opportunity to get along with these infected people and the residents nearby.

The living conditions of the residents of other nearby villages were not much better than those of the infected people in the infected village. Except for a few households, most of the villagers could not even reach the level of food and clothing, and were still in the range of starvation and fullness.

..........

Evening

Night falls.

The Integration Movement village was unusually bustling.

The bonfire in the center of the village was burning fiercely. The towering bonfire barely dispelled the cold of the night and warmed the bodies of the infected people around.
