Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! - Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Winter Preparation
“What?”

A high official?

Don’t tell me those people were high officials from the military base.

But if they were officials, why would they run off to the lake resort instead of staying in their cozy base?

That does not make any sense!

But no matter what they think, it wouldn’t change the fact that they were unable to join the Qianhe Mountain Base.

They started rubbing the tattoo off their hands.

Even using water, but no matter what how red their skin becomes, the tattoo remained fresh and dark.

Another F*ck!

Seeing the soldiers turned around and started walking back to the base, Gu Ling and Boss Kang became nervous and chased after them.

But they stopped at the sound of the a gunshot.

“Follow another five meters and we’ll have to follow protocols and arrest you or shoot on sight!”

Gu Ling and Boss Kang’s faces became pale.

They no longer dared to take a single step.

The survivors witnessing them reaped what they sow, turned around and no longer cared about them.

Not long after the soldiers were gone, Gu Ling and the others heard squeaking noises.

“Ah!”

….

The cotton seeds were included in the set of medicinal herb seed set.

Besides from its boll that can be made into fabrics, feminine products, bandages and dressings, it root bark can be used for a variety of medicinal purposes.

Like stimulating menstrual flow, induce labor and delivery, treat nausea, dysentery, nerve pain, and soothe burns.

Thankfully, the mechanics for harvesting medicinal herbs is very different.

Nanzhi get to keep the whole plant if she wanted to.

She wasn’t able to plant cotton and flax seeds in the first two month because she was focusing on crops to beat the heat.

She only started midway of the first dungeon.

The total yield of the boll is 25 tons and she no longer have to worry about impurities because the system already taken care of it.

The flax is the one that needed further processing.

Nanzhi planned to search among her stock of books on how to process it.

Nanzhi used the pillow cases to stuff the bolls inside to the brim to reduce suspicions before giving it to Yu Baoyin. “I found these yesterday upstairs. Are these enough for three sets each?”

Yu Baoyin immediately nodded. “More than enough!”

“Sister, it would be good if we have water proof fabric too!”

“I think I saw one room that had it.” Nanzhi climbed the higher floors and brought the fabric back to Yu Baoyin, including yarns.

“Perfect!”

She can also make hats, mittens, and scarves with these.

Yu Baoyin got excited about it just thinking about it.

In the past, Nanzhi only had one pair of winter clothes but it doesn’t completely fend off the cold.

Her feet and hands were constantly frozen.

She had to wrapped herself in several layers of mattress and blankets while keeping herself moving every once in a while to generate heat.

Her biggest worry was sleeping.

Because there is a large chance, if you closed your eyes, you might never wake up again.

During winter, so many people died in their sleep.

Nanzhi would have been one too, if she hadn’t endured.

On an unrelated note, she wondered if the clothes made from the virtual farm’s cotton would have a difference from the ones she bought in the shops.

It would be good if it is!

For the rest of the day, everyone became busy.

Utilizing the white mist as a cover, Nanzhi wore a thick down jacket and pants with warm thermalfleece inside.

She began to clean the surrounding debris around the building using the function ‘destroy’.

When she happened to came across into a live rat whizzing passed her feet, she stepped on it, preventing it from moving and tried to collect it too but a prompt appeared in front of her face.

[Live specimen cannot be stored.]

Well, it will be too OP if she can also destroy alive alien beasts inside.

As for the carcasses of rats, dogs, cats hidden underneath the debris, she encountered a problem.

Nanzhi frowned.

[Aborigines of this world cannot be destroyed by the system inventory.]

Aborigines?

Nanzhi narrowed her eyes with suspicions.

There were hundreds of thoughts circulating in her head.

After five seconds, Nanzhi entered the building and sat in a secluded corner.

She sorted her inventory and left one piece of fish in the one box and a chunk of meat of the big head carp on the other box.

She tapped on the options ‘Destroy’ under each box.

Afterwards, two different prompts appeared in her line of sight.

[Action Failed.]

[Success.]

The latter was the meat of the bighead carp.

Nanzhi’s eyes dimmed.

She asked the system. “Is this apocalypse related to you?”

[We are just helping tools.]

It didn’t answer yes or no.

Nanzhi stayed silent allowing the system to continue explaining but the answer she received was far from satisfying.

[Like we said before, you’ll know everything when you reached Level 100.]

The same reason again.

Come to think about it, the highest level she achieved in the game was around Level 85. She was unable to reach 100 because she had been busy then.

At that time, her opponents were NPCs with ridiculously high stats and Level 8 Tier alien beasts and plants.

She should have played until Level 100, to see what is in the end.

Nanzhi pinched the bridge of her nose, a little frustrated.

“What has gotten you so worried?”

Nanzhi turned around and saw Lin Weihao carrying ladder.

He wasn’t wearing a down jacket and only a black shirt.

Because of his sweat, it became see-through.

Nanzhi lifted her eyes, “It’s cold and you’re running around without a jacket.”

“I am an awakener now. This little cold will not harm me at all…” Lin Weihao couldn’t finish his sentence because a jacket appeared on his shoulder.

It looks small, clearly belonging to a woman, and wouldn’t be able to fit him at all.

However, he was smiling from ear to ear.

Does this mean, the day when he can call her Zhi Zhi will come soon enough?

“Rather than that, your words are enough to disperse the cold.”

Feng Ran at the corner: That was smooth AF! Oh my Brother Lin!

This bro of yours is proud of you for crossing the realm of being walking air conditioner!
