Chapter 159: We Don’t Have Much Time Left

Hearing A Lu Zhi question, Wula Gan said, "Before I answer your question, can you tell me who told you that the medicinal herbs can be grown?"

A Lu Zhi smiled and said, "It’s Xu Xiang."

After Wula Gan and the others heard his answer, there was no surprise on their faces. A Lu Zhi looked at their calm expressions and thought to himself: ’As expected. These old people already know the answer but still want the answer from me.’

A moment later, an elder from the Yishi tribe looked at A Lu Zhi with a smile and said, "A Lu Zhi, do you believe her words?"

Hearing his question, A Lu Zhi smiled and said, "I believe Xu Xiang’s words."

After getting his affirmative answer, Qiaoli Buka nodded. Afterwards, he discussed with Wula Gan and other elders of the Yishi tribe with a low voice that only they could hear. Seeing that they were still discussing, A Lu Zhi stood there and waited patiently. It didn’t take long before they ended their discussion.

Wula Gan looked at A Lu Zhi and said, "We will try to plant medicinal herbs as you suggested. Our second elder and her disciples will do it on behalf of the Yishi tribe."

A Lu Zhi nodded and smiled at Suo Jiatai and said, "Elder, please follow me. We need to inspect the farmland and decide how many people we need to do the job."

Suo Jiatai got up slowly, patted her sore waist lightly, and said, "Lead the way."

Seeing that the old woman was walking with difficulty, A Lu Zhi stretched out his hands to support the old woman. Seeing Suo Jiatai glancing at him, A Lu Zhi smiled and said, "Let’s walk slowly."

Hearing what he said, she said, "Mhm, you are a good child."

When A Lu Zhi and Suo Jiatai walked to the farmland to inspect the soil, the thirty women responsible for cooking had already prepared a lot of food. According to Xu Xiang’s instructions, they brought the food and a long table to the center of the village.

After putting the two wooden buckets and a big pot containing the food on the table, one of them said loudly: "The food is ready. Come and get your food."

Because it is already two o’clock in the afternoon, everyone is hungry after working since morning. They stopped working and started queuing in front of the long table in an orderly manner. Three women stayed there to distribute the food, and the rest of them went back to the cooking area to continue cooking.

While the women were busy cooking and distributing food to the people of the Xiuluo tribe and the Yishi tribe, Xu Xiang went to find Mu Yucheng. She walked back to the dried-up river and saw him still sitting cross-legged on the stone boulder.

She folded her arms and stared at him while thinking: ’Is he meditating? Is the strength improvement method of this world the same as that of the apocalypse world? Can I also improve my strength if I meditate like him? It seems that if I really want to improve my chances of survival in this world, I have to ask him to teach me how to improve my strength.’

After thinking of this, she sat down on another stone boulder. Instead of meditating like Mu Yucheng, she took out a portable stove, a small pot, a bottle of lake water, and a pack of instant noodles. Although she has those nutrient solutions, she still prefers to eat ordinary food instead of eating food created using advanced technology.

When she was still cooking instant noodles and Mu Yucheng was still cultivating, the soldiers sent by Ren Fanyan were already in a difficult situation.

After receiving direct orders from Ren Fanyan, the forty soldiers that were divided into four teams separated and went to nearby villages to buy water. Unfortunately, after asking from one village to another for a whole night, they still couldn’t buy a drop of water.

The captain looked at the entrance of the village and said, "This is the last village in this area. If we still can’t buy water, we have to go to a village farther away."

One soldier wiped his sweat and said, "Captain, we have no water or food with us. How can we go further? Our brothers are already tired and thirsty."

The captain clenched his hands and said, "Even if we can’t go, we have to go. The lives of the brothers waiting in the barracks depend on us. Without water, they can’t survive for more than three days. We must bring water back to the barracks before tomorrow morning."

The soldier knew the seriousness of the situation and kept his mouth shut. Just like his captain said, if they can’t get water today, one hundred thousand people will die in three days, including their generals.

The soldier looked back at the others and said, "Let’s go. We don’t have much time left."

The other eight soldiers stood up from the ground after hearing what he said. Following their captain, they entered the village. As soon as they stepped into the village, a group of people suddenly rushed out and aimed their spears at the ten soldiers.

The captain looked at the hand-made spear, then at the villagers’ clothes made from animals’ hide and said, "Greeting, everyone. We have no malicious intentions."

As soon as he said this, the villagers looked at each other, and one of them left. The captain didn’t say anything when he saw the man walk away. Not long after, a middle-aged man walked over with the man.

When the captain saw his clothes made from better quality animal’s hide, he knew he was the leader of these villagers. The captain clasped his fists and said, "Greeting. We are soldiers sent by General Ren Fanyan to buy water. May I ask, do you have any excess water for sale in your village?"
