Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 617 - Chapter 617 Chapter 618 Joyous Event in Space 1

Chapter 617: Chapter 618: Joyous Event in Space 1 Chapter 617: Chapter 618: Joyous Event in Space 1 Having returned home, Su Shu felt much more settled in her mindset.

During the previous period of running around outside, the feeling of not knowing what the next second would bring always kept her nerves on edge.

After returning to City C, Su Shu completely relaxed, and two days later, she started preparing for the winter.

One day, after returning from the troops at the foot of the mountain, she felt very excited.

She received new information that before the heavy snowfall, the people of the 208th regiment supporting the border might all return.

Doesn’t that mean Tang Zelin could be coming back soon?

Thinking of this made Su Shu happy.

She wanted to give him a special gift before Tang Zelin returned, to make him happy.

And that gift was a discovery she made.

She was aware that Tang Zelin always had the problem of the entire safe zone entering the winter on his mind.

She also knew that so far, although there were many opinions about the winter supplies in the safe zone, neither the government nor the military dared to issue an official notice to the public.

They had always been trying their best to request adjustments from above or to find various ways to gather enough supplies for so many people to survive the winter.

But as the saying goes, it’s difficult to cook without rice, and even if all methods were exhausted, wasn’t the most important problem still about having stuff in the first place?

Whether it was food or items to keep out the cold, not only City C but almost every region heading into the cold season was facing the same problem.

Scarcity of supplies was almost a foreseeable inevitability.

And amidst such tension, Su Shu suddenly discovered that the grain in her space had actually grown!

She squatted beside the vegetable garden she had developed by the house, a continuous smile on her lips as she looked at the sprouting green.

Fox, staying by her side, also felt very happy.

“Master, we’ve grown greens in our vegetable garden!”

“Yes, they’ve really grown,” she said as she gently touched the young shoots by her feet. “Now we can have fresh greens to eat.”

“Shall we go check the rice paddies over there?”

The two moved to a field of rice planted nearby.

Fox looked at the pitiful rice seedlings and then at the robust growth of the vegetable garden – the same land but what a different scene.

“Why is that side growing so well, while this side looks somewhat weak and listless?”

Su Shu had noticed this problem as well. Originally, in order to conduct experiments, she had cultivated both areas with almost the same input.

Obviously, the rice paddy’s growth cycle was different from that of the vegetables, but in terms of the investment, they had both received the same proportion of effort according to their different needs.

However, the results proved that the cultivation of vegetables was far better than that of the rice.

Su Shu took out her planting notebook and flipped from the very first record to the present, noting that apart from the difference in water demand, there wasn’t much else that differed.

Fox leaned in and presented its own doubts.

“Water, we irrigate with well water, could it be related to that?”

“I don’t know if there is a connection, but I also can’t rule out the possibility,” Su Shu replied.

“Speaking of which, the sweetness of the water from the well in the space seems a bit sweeter than before,” Fox mentioned.

Su Shu looked up, “Sweeter, you say?”

“Yes, you might not feel it very clearly, but I think the change is pretty significant.”

Su Shu turned to glance at the well in the corner of the yard.

Suddenly she got up, went inside to grab a water kettle, filled it with well water, poured herself a cup, and took a big gulp.
