The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

Heavy diesel drums, boxes of vegetables, bundled quilts... each item of supplies was compressed to the extreme and crammed into the limited space in the cabin and below deck.

Space was running out quickly.

"President Wu, all eight ships are almost full, but we still have... more than twenty ordinary people who can't get on." An Awakened One in charge of the count rushed to President Wu's ship and whispered.

Chairman Wu looked at the ordinary people who were helping to move the supplies, unaware of the situation.

He pursed his lips, glanced at the other boats with similarly deep drafts, and finally settled on his slightly larger catamaran, saying:

"Old Li, throw away those boxes of spare parts on our ship."

"Let older ordinary people and children board my ship first."

Then, he said to the awakened one next to him, "Make sure Ah Long and the others make more room. Throw away as many unnecessary things as possible. People are the most important thing."

"clear."

As for the Jiang siblings from Jiangyuan in the South District, who were recently brought up by Han Ning and his group, there were also three other ordinary people.

They stood awkwardly to the side, wanting to help, but there were more people than supplies, so there was no need for them to get involved.

"Brother... do you think they'll take us with them?" Jiang Rui asked worriedly.

She is a cute girl with long limbs and well-defined muscle lines in her arms.

She has the face of a cute girl and the figure of a mature woman.

Compared to Yu Na, one could be described as aloof and charming, while the other is cute and lively.

“I don’t know…” Jiang Yuan shook his head, looking worried.

“We’re not Awakened, so we can’t exert much combat power. These people won’t take us seriously,” Jiang Rui said pessimistically.

"Are you guys busy right now?"

Just then, a cold but clear voice rang out beside them.

The group turned their heads to look and saw Yu Na with her hands in her cotton-padded coat pockets, staring at them with a blank expression.

Jiang Yuan waved his hands repeatedly: "No rush, no rush. Miss, what can I do for you?"

"If you're not busy, come with me. Chairman Wu has assigned you to Sister Qianqian's boat. She asked me to invite you over."

After Yu Na finished speaking, she turned and left, leaving the others with a cool silhouette.

"Sister Qianqian?" The brother and sister exchanged a glance.

Yu Na led them to Lin Qianqian's workplace. She glanced at Lin Qianqian, who was directing work not far away, and casually remarked:

"She is Sister Qianqian, I have other things to do."

She went straight to Professor Ye and began to help him organize some of the crops he was using for experiments.

Chapter 144 The Wind of Healing

There aren't many useful supplies at Han Ning's place, or at Biyun Resort.

In addition, space on ships is limited.

The moving work was completed in less than an afternoon.

As evening approached, Han Ning's team sat around a burning fire.

Above their heads floated a shimmering orb of light, radiating a faint warmth.

It dispels the surrounding chill.

"Boss, the supplies have been moved and counted."

Xu Ming began reporting on the situation regarding the supplies.

"Considering the space on the ship, three and a half barrels of diesel fuel will be left."

"In terms of food, canned food, compressed dry food, and fresh vegetables together can probably support all of us for about half a month."

"A total of 25 energy crystals were stored, and some water monkeys, toads, sharks, elite black snakes, monster fish flesh and bones were stored separately in the safe."

"..."

Xu Ming presented a detailed and professional list of their current stockpiled supplies, categorized by type.

After the report was finished, Professor Ye took over the conversation:

"Regarding extraordinary crops, we have stored forty-seven seeds of the Water Arrow Spraying Cucumber and thirty-two seeds of the Healing Spraying Cucumber, all in specially made waterproof containers."

"The three Red Mist Tomato plants, ten Jade Potato plants, and two Water Arrow Spraying Cucumber plants and two Healing Spraying Cucumber plants that were bred were all placed in the Mutant Crop Area."

Most of the extraordinary squirting cucumbers they cultivated were handed over to Chairman Wu and his team.

A total of 12 water spout cucumber plants and 4 cured water spout cucumber plants have been bred so far, not including those used for research.

The remaining squirting melons were used to observe their maximum potential.

He signed contracts for all of these squirting melons.

"All the seeds from the seed bank have been transferred here, and the high-energy soil has also been well preserved."

“I take special care of the Venus flytrap, which doesn’t have any mutations. The weather is very cold now, and these common crops can easily die suddenly.”

“There is still some space reserved for me to store some rice paddy soil, or other crops that I will cultivate in the future.”

For them now, common crops with shorter maturation periods don't require much storage space.

If you want to eat it, you can just grow and cultivate it quickly.

Han Ning listened quietly.

Actually, there aren't many resources.

He reserved a fairly large area inside the boat for the group to rest.

We guarantee that everyone can stretch out, turn over freely, and sleep comfortably inside the ship.

Getting enough rest and maintaining good condition are extremely important.

Like food, it can be obtained by hunting monsters and using their corpses to cultivate crops.

He can drink the water that the vines collect from the flowing water.

They currently have enough to eat and drink, but lack the means to mitigate risks.

"Uncle Han." A childish voice broke the brief silence.

Xu Yinyin sat on a small stool under a small ball of light, her knees drawn up to her chest. Her large eyes shone brightly in the light as she looked at Yu Na, who was sitting next to Han Ning and listening attentively, and asked,

Will Sister Yu Na always stay with us?

"That depends on what your sister Yu Na thinks," Han Ning replied.

Everyone's eyes instinctively fell on Yu Na.

Yu Na spoke almost without hesitation:

"I'll go with you."

She paused for a moment.

"Sister Qianqian, there are too many people on your boat."

Han Ning smiled but didn't say anything.

Their environment is indeed better.

Moreover, Yu Na has been fighting alongside Han Ning ever since the first day he arrived at Biyun Resort, and she often follows him during this time.

Later, Yu Na also took the initiative to help them with their tasks.

Han Ning had already considered Yu Na as one of his own, knowing that this girl was a proud and aloof woman with a cold exterior but a warm heart, and that her abilities were very useful.

Yu Na's ability is a bit strange; she has managed to absorb quite a bit of energy from everyone else.

The total amount is definitely more than Professor Ye's, and Xu Ming's is definitely more.

But she still showed no signs of a qualitative change.

There are only two possibilities.

Perhaps Yu Na's talent has reached its limit, making further progress difficult.

Or perhaps she is very capable and needs more energy to break through than others.

That concludes the report.

Everyone should disperse and rest.

On the ground in front of Han Ning, there were several energy crystals of different sizes and shapes neatly arranged.

These crystals shimmer with a bluish, deep red, or earthy yellow halo in dim light.

These are crystals extracted from the bodies of elite black serpent monsters, water monkey captains, and some powerful sea beasts; each one contains considerable energy.

Considering we're leaving tomorrow, I don't know what dangers we'll face.

He planned to absorb the energy of these crystals to increase his level.

He stretched out his hand, his fingertips glowing with a faint emerald light, and gently pressed it onto the first deep blue crystal.

This is a crystal from the elite black serpent.

hum!

A chilling energy surged into Han Ning's body along his arm, then was rapidly broken down and assimilated, transforming into a pure warm current that flowed into his limbs and bones.

[Druid growth progress +280, current Lv7, 3466/4000]

Without pausing, Han Ning reached for the second dark green crystal.

[Druid growth progress +265, current Lv7, 3731/4000]

The third one...

[Druid growth progress +201, current Lv7, 3932/4000]

boom!

When the energy of the fourth crystal was completely absorbed, it was as if an invisible barrier within Han Ning's body was suddenly broken through.
