The Nature members had been on the Kangaroo Continent for two days and had already begun planting.
They had barely sown the seeds when they received notice of a temporary change in assignments: grow black leaves on a large scale.
Whatever. As long as they had food, they would do whatever they were told.
Mi Ling gave Meng Yin a few black leaves to try to improve, hoping she could increase their yield while also making them absorb more of the unknown substance in the meat.
With the Nature members' help, the black leaves grew rapidly, forming a vast, dark swath.
It looked like a lot, but it did not go far. Boiling one pot of rabbit meat required at least ten black leaves.
And each black leaf plant produced only one black leaf.
The first planting yielded roughly fifty thousand black leaves.
The members received what they considered a very strange task: catch some rabbits and bring them back.
Did they even need to catch them? They could close their eyes and wait for rabbits to come to them. There were just that many.
What did they need rabbit meat for? Were they running short on food and switching to mutant meat?
Mi Ling realized there was a problem. Although the black leaf harvest was plentiful, with so many members, it seemed the yield would only be enough for everyone to have one meal.
One meal a week?
"Good heavens, this rabbit meat actually smells delicious."
"Oh, it's so good."
Even before the apocalypse, this rabbit meat had carried viruses, but who cared about that now? As long as it did not kill them and tasted good, that was enough.
The members finally got to enjoy another rare feast.
Laughter and cheerful chatter filled the base.
Once a week
