Chapter 36
C36 – There Are Tons of Canned Food
“Do you have anything to eat?” Tan Chong inquired.
He had only managed a small bite to eat that morning since the previous night and was feeling quite peckish.
Though the storage bag was well-stocked with food, Tan Chong, being new to the Desolate Swamp Mountain Range, was eager to sample the local cuisine as a novel experience.
“Yes, I’ll fetch some right away.”
Qiu Hanh quickly served up a bowl of something dark and set it before Tan Chong.
After tasting it, Tan Chong subtly shook his head. The contents of the bowl were not only sticky but also bitterly unpalatable.
“Mr. Tan, how’s the flavor?” Qiu Hanh watched him with hopeful eyes, inadvertently swallowing his saliva.
“It’s not bad,” Tan Chong replied nonchalantly, then asked, “Why aren’t you two eating?”
“We’re not hungry,” Qiu Hanh said, scratching his head and offering a simple smile, though his stomach betrayed him with a loud grumble.
Truth be told, Qiu Hanh was famished, but the only edible thing in his house was that unappetizing bowl of paste.
Tan Chong chuckled and set aside his bowl, pulling out three cans from the storage bag. “Try these.”
”Mr. Tan, what are these? How did you get them out of there?” Qiu Hanh was astounded to see Tan Chong produce three metal cans from a pocket no larger than a hand.
Having spent his life in the Desolate Swamp Mountain Range, Qiu Hanh had never encountered canned food.
“These are cans of braised pork,” Tan Chong explained as he opened each can.
A savory aroma of meat quickly filled the cave.
“Meat! It’s all meat!” Qiu Hanh’s eyes gleamed, and he began to salivate.
Since Qiu Chudao had been stranded in Wolf Valley, they had been struggling with hunger, with meat being a distant memory.
“Go ahead and eat,” Tan Chong said with a smile, handing a can to both Qiu Hanh and Qiu Jing.
“Thank you, Mr. Tan,” Qiu Hanh gratefully accepted the can, devouring its contents hungrily.
“Tan Chong, this is too valuable for me to accept,” Qiu Jing protested, attempting to return the can to Tan Chong.
Even with Energy Stones, such meat was a rarity and the cans were exceedingly precious. Qiu Jing felt it improper to accept such generosity.
Tan Chong returned the items with a faint smile and reassured them, “Go ahead and eat. I have plenty.”
To put Qiu Jing at ease, Tan Chong pulled out a few more cans from his storage bag.
“Wow, that’s a lot!” Qiu Hanh’s eyes nearly popped out in astonishment.
Qiu Jing was equally amazed, not only because she hadn’t expected Tan Chong to have so many cans, but also because she was intrigued by the small cloth bag he was carrying.
Qiu Jing noticed that the bag was only palm-sized, which logically shouldn’t be able to fit so many cans.
“Tan Chong, how can your cloth bag hold so much?” Qiu Jing asked, her curiosity piqued.
Tan Chong, in front of Qiu Jing and Qiu Hanh, had no intention of keeping secrets and explained, “This is a storage space with ten cubic meters inside.”
“There’s such a magical thing in the world!” Qiu Jing exclaimed, taken aback.
She had never heard of such a storage space before and was clearly impressed by this revelation.
Tan Chong encouraged them, “Eat up. Once you’re done, I have some questions for you.”
Seeing that Tan Chong had an ample supply, Qiu Jing no longer hesitated to accept his generosity.
After finishing two cans, Tan Chong wiped his mouth and inquired, “Where nearby are there a lot of zombies?”
To gather three bottles of Pet Medicinal Water, Tan Chong knew he needed to continuously hunt zombies to collect the necessary fragments.
Moreover, Tan Chong’s Intelligent Chariot was just one fragment short of completion. If he could find it, his journey to Vajra City would be much quicker.
“Mr. Tan, are you planning to hunt zombies?” Qiu Hanh, after polishing off three cans, asked with a satisfied burp.
Tan Chong nodded, “Yes, I need to hunt zombies. It’s the fastest way to increase my strength.”
Qiu Hanh responded, “About twenty miles from here, there’s a large mining pit swarming with zombies. That’s where we usually go to hunt them.”
