Cambrian Returns: A Couple Stocks Up to Survive in the End of the World!

After Zhou Jiaoyang put all the mutated pigs into the space, he looked at Yan Jin and asked, "Look where there are mutated chestnuts around here. I want to eat them. It happens to be the season when chestnuts are ripe."

Yan Jin pointed in a direction and said with a smile: "I knew you would ask this. There are several chestnut trees a hundred meters away in that direction. Let's go."

When Zhou Jiaoyang heard that there were several trees, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

She loves to eat chestnuts, and in the previous life they would pick some whenever they saw them.

Why just some and not all?
That's because chestnuts can attack people. After the shells surrounding chestnuts mutate, their thorns can grow up to [-] or [-] centimeters long. If they are stuck on the body and want to be removed, it will cause heavy bleeding, and it will be damaged. The wound was still very painful, and the thorn was poisonous.

The way to get chestnuts is also very strange. As long as you don't pick chestnut balls, they won't attack you. But just go up and pick one, or pick up a chestnut under the chestnut tree that didn't know when it fell to the ground. , the big tree will attack that person.

It uses the fruit on the tree to swish at people. When it hits an obstacle, the chestnut ball will explode, revealing the brown chestnut inside.

In the previous life, the two people's super powers were of low level and could not withstand the smashing of chestnut balls. They had to waste all their efforts to get a little bit every time.

It's different now. Their starting power level is very high, which is much more powerful than the chestnut tree that only has level [-]. This time they are not afraid of smashing it.

They wished they could hit the chestnut ball harder.

With the target determined, the two jumped to the top of the tree, stepped on the leaves and ran quickly towards their destination. When they arrived next to the tops of the chestnut trees, the two got off the tree.

After walking a few steps, they arrived under the chestnut tree. Now that the chestnuts were just ripe, not many chestnuts fell to the ground under the tall chestnut tree, but as long as there was one chestnut on the ground for them to pick up, it would be fine.

After Yan Jin put protective measures on both of them with his spiritual power, he took two steps and bent down to pick up a chestnut that fell on the ground. As soon as he touched the chestnut, there was a swish of leaves on the tree. The sound was followed by the sound of something falling off, followed by the sound of swishing wind.

That was not the sound of the wind, that was the sound of chestnut balls shooting towards them.

'bang bang bang'

'Click click click.'

The sounds of collisions and explosions were endless.

Zhou Jiaoyang threw a plastic storage box in front of Yan Jin, and there was also a large plastic storage box in front of him.

The plastic storage box couldn't withstand the smashing of chestnut balls, so Yan Jin hurriedly expanded the scope of his mental shield to cover the plastic storage box inside.

The two happily picked up the burst chestnuts under the chestnut tree, put them into plastic storage boxes, and then kept moving around to pick them up.

The chestnut ball hit the two of them in front of their faces accurately, and was blocked two meters away from them. Then it rebounded and fell to the ground aside. Then it was smashed open, revealing the chestnut inside. They didn't need to peel it off with their bare hands. Open, after the chestnut and shell are smashed open, they will automatically separate, and the two of them only need to pick up the chestnut.

The only inconvenience is those burrs.

The mutated chestnut was as big as a hammer in an adult's hand. It didn't take long for them to fill a storage box.

As long as the two of them don't stop picking up chestnuts on the ground, the attacks from above will continue unless there are no fur balls left on the tree to attack.

But it is not easy to make a chestnut tree stop attacking. After the chestnut tree mutates, its trunk not only grows taller and thicker, but its branches also become more developed, so the fruits it bears are more too much.

The two of them picked up chestnuts under a chestnut tree for half an hour. They didn't stop until the chestnut tree ended its attack.

Zhou Jiaoyang has already stored dozens of boxes of chestnuts in his space, which is enough. There are still three chestnut trees nearby that have not been visited by them, and the two of them do not want to provoke them.They had been bending over to pick up chestnuts on the ground. Although the two of them were not sweating profusely at this time, their clothes and hair were messy, and there was sweat on their foreheads, front and back.

Zhou Jiaoyang took out the wet wipes, wiped the sweat from his face and back with Yan Jin, and straightened his hair casually before returning to the outskirts of the mountain.

If he were not worried about the space being exposed, Zhou Jiaoyang would like to go into the space to take a shower and then change into clean clothes.

Yan Jin, who was running in front, suddenly dived under the tree. Zhou Jiaoyang also got off the tree, then took out a semi-large mutated pig weighing about [-] kilograms, and put a bag of chestnuts into his cross-body bag. , the two of them carried the mutated pig out of the forest one after another.

When Lu Dong saw them coming out, he exhaled heavily, and then pretended to be calm and came to the two of them.

Smiling and saying hello, "Brother Yan, Sister Zhou, you are back."

"Back." Zhou Jiaoyang looked behind Lu Dong and saw two thousand-pound mutated pigs lying there, at the mid-level level two.

She smiled and said, "You guys are pretty good. You hunted two big ones. Have you been waiting for us for a long time?"

How can I break it if I feel a little embarrassed after being praised?
Lu Dong scratched his head and said modestly: "We have only been in the forest for a short time, and you two are also very powerful."

"I'm not as good as you guys. Do you want to go back?"

Haha, he looked like a delinquent when he was carefree, but now he is scratching his head like a naive boy next door. If there is no natural disaster and the society is not chaotic, this group of boys and girls should be the obedient children of their parents, enjoying Parental care.

But now they can only dress up like this gangster just to protect themselves.

Although they have never seen their true faces, Yan Jin and Zhou Jiaoyang both know that these children are not bad-looking, on the contrary, they are very good-looking.

If they didn't look good, they wouldn't use this method to cover up their appearance.

"You just came down, take a rest."

Lu Dong called two companions to help move their mutated pigs to where they stacked the mutated pigs.

After another ten minutes, the team set off.

Since they had to carry the prey back, the pace was very slow. It took more than six hours to go back. When they got hungry during the process, they ate tasteless dried meat. The dried meat was provided by Lu Dong and others.

Lu Dong's team had a water superpower when he was thirsty. Every once in a while, that person would gather a small ball of water for each person. One water ball was equivalent to a large mouthful of water.

Zhou Jiaoyang was embarrassed to eat and drink other people's food for nothing, so she took out the chestnuts she had put in her crossbody bag in advance and gave one to each person.

It was so big that each person could only get one, and her cross-body bag was deflated.

The mutated chestnuts are not only bigger, but also sweeter.

If it had enough water, it could be eaten as fruit.

The two followed Lu Dong and others through twists and turns to the place where they lived. This was a two-story earthen house built by a family with earth powers.
