Why didn't anyone tell me this is a parallel world?

Not only is it time to rest, but after walking for a whole morning, it’s also time to cook and replenish energy.

The sand dune that Xia Liuying found was not too high. She could be covered in shadow when lying down or sitting down, but she could not avoid being exposed to the sun when she stood up and moved.

Fortunately, the direction is correct, it is facing away from the sun, so even if the sun moves in the afternoon, the shadow position will not be exposed.

Du Beixing and Xia Liuying discussed it and decided not to leave after lunch but to rest here for a while, and then continue their journey around four o'clock in the afternoon when the temperature started to drop.

This was only the first day of the trip, so Xia Liuying was not in a hurry. She had not yet sown the seeds. It would be a good idea to soak the seeds in water in the afternoon and then plant them along the way, so as not to waste time.

Nodding in agreement with Du Beixing's suggestion, Du Beixing turned around and helped Fu Nanfei set up the tent. This tent was different from the one in Xia Liuying's backpack, as it was a separate design.

It is not as convenient as Xia Liuying’s one-piece folding tent, which can be used as soon as it is opened, but it has more uses than Xia Liuying’s tent.

By just adjusting the joints, a semi-enclosed awning appeared under the sand dune, providing more shadows.

Fu Nanfei looked at the surprised expression on Xia Liuying's face and couldn't help showing off proudly, "I spent a lot of money to customize this. There are several assembly modes. The sunshade is just the simplest. It can also be inflated to become a boat. If necessary, it can also be used as a hang glider. It can be said to be complete for land, sea and air."

In fact, what surprised Xia Liuying was that the items in their backpacks were different from hers. She thought these things were standard configuration.

But in fact, apart from the necessary items such as seeds, water-collecting paper, maps, compasses, etc., you need to prepare everything else by yourself. It’s not that the Volunteer Association of Superpowers cannot afford to provide them, but the main reason is that even if they do provide them, not many people will use them.

After all, you have to survive in dangerous environments such as deserts and oceans. You can't be as confident in things provided by others as you are in things you prepare yourself. If there are quality problems with the things, it may affect your own life and safety.

Of course, there are also people like Fu Nanfei, who look down on the ordinary stuff provided by the Volunteer Association of Superpowers and spend a lot of money to customize it himself. Not only is the equipment unique, but it is also fully functional and easy to use.

Xia Liuying naturally would not suspect that there was anything wrong with the things that Teacher Chu Jue prepared for her. Perhaps the things prepared by Teacher Chu Jue were even more expensive than those prepared by Fu Nanfei... and they were not items for public sale.

After dealing with Fu Nanfei for a few words, Xia Liuying skillfully began to prepare food for herself. Everyone's backpack was limited and they couldn't carry too much stuff, so there was naturally no need to share generously.

Unless one has a spatial ability that allows one to fold space, one can carry a large amount of supplies.

As far as Xia Liuying could remember, she had only seen one of Jin Linglong's bodyguards with this ability. This ability was really too powerful and too rare. Every time one appeared, he would be recruited by major forces in a timely manner and was rarely seen by the outside world.

Xia Liuying also estimated that the food she brought might not be enough, and she might need to hunt some prey later to replenish it. Fortunately, not many creatures in the desert are protected.

Of course, because of Teacher Chu Jue, a lot of special permissions were prepared in advance. Even though it was a protected species, Xia Liuying could be caught and eaten as food.

But if it wasn't necessary, Xia Liuying would definitely not do that.

Put up the pot and take out the heating equipment - this thing has three fuel methods, one is solar power generation, one is supernatural energy conversion, and the other is the ignition of matching fuel.

Then take out a bag of dried vegetables that have been portioned in fixed quantities, add water to the pot, pour two spoons of ready-made soup powder into the water, and soon a large pot of vegetable soup is ready. Add some noodles and the staple food is ready.

In the desert environment, you can't expect to eat very good food, so the food you have is already pretty good.

On the other side, Fu Nanfei and Du Beixing had similar meals. Boiled noodles were the most convenient. They had a long shelf life, were not easy to spoil, and were quick to cook.

The only difference is that the seasonings brought by the two parties taste different.

Before he had even taken two bites, Fu Nanfei came over with his bowl and chopsticks, looking at Xia Liuying with shining eyes, "Sister Liuying, how do your noodles taste? Let's take turns to try them."

Du Beixing rolled his eyes behind him, "Are you free? You want to taste the saltiness of the manure truck when it passes by."

Xia Liuying didn't care and gave Fu Nanfei a bowl of noodles. After a while, Fu Nanfei brought another bowl of noodles back.

Xia Liuying tasted it and found that Fu Nanfei's seasoning was more fragrant, but in terms of nutritional value, the one prepared by Teacher Chu Jue was more comprehensive and could provide more energy, so the taste was naturally a little worse.

Fu Nanfei was just an ordinary person and couldn't tell the difference. He just felt that the food Xia Liuying ate wasn't very tasty and felt a little sorry for her. He even urged Du Beixing to take out his share of the food and share it with Xia Liuying.

Du Beixing rolled his eyes almost to the sky. He was a superpower, so he could naturally sense the difference between the two portions of food. "What do you know? What you eat may not be even more expensive than what others eat."

"Don't even think about it. Sister Liuying is a beast-transformed mutant, and the food she needs is high in energy. Her food is specially made, unlike ours, which is made just for the taste."

Originally, she was just calling her sister out of politeness, but she didn't know when, as they chatted, she started calling her the more intimate "Sister Liuying". Xia Liuying couldn't help but accept her politeness.

I thought Fu Nanfei would be more restrained after hearing this, but unexpectedly, Fu Nanfei slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, then I'll exchange this bowl for another one. Sister Liuying is at a loss. It will be bad if she doesn't have enough to eat."

As he spoke, Du Beixing saw the bastard Fu Nanfei scoop out another large bowl of noodles from their pot and give it to Xia Liuying, without caring whether the two of them could eat enough.

Du Beixing was so angry with him that he didn't care about Fu Nanfei's disloyal behavior and just focused on eating his fill first.

But in the end, he still cooked some more noodles so that Fu Nanfei could eat his fill.

After Xia Liuying packed up her things, she picked up the seeds that she had soaked before cooking, and with her special engineer shovel, she planted the seeds one by one along the way.

The water was provided by Du Beixing. This is the advantage of having a water-related mutant traveling with you. There is no need to worry about running out of water.
