Chapter 580: Passionate Hearts, Small but Tenacious Growth!

20 tons of several types of meat was neither a lot nor too little.

Any cold storage in a large supermarket on Earth would have much more than this.

On the eve before the transmigration, during the construction of the global-scale shelter, the number of grain reserves in any prefecture-level city usually started at 1,000,000 tons, enough to show how terrifying the foundation of human beings in the civilized age was.

‘Shelter leader…’

Seeing Su Mo walk out of the shelter with a smile, all the stunned villagers hurriedly walked away and pretended they had unfinished work. However, they would glance over from time to time.

Meanwhile, the several leadership members stood in place like street lamps, and their faces were filled with curiosity,

“What’s the matter? Do you guys want to ask me something?”

Su Mo glanced at Chen Shen, who was in the front row.

“Uh, ah, this, that…”

Su Mo chose to “play stupid” and deliberately did not say anything.

Chen Shen could only awkwardly blink his eyes and mumbled words that only he could understand.

His sudden actions caused those standing beside him to burst out laughing.

At that moment, everyone suddenly remembered that Chen Shen was not a senior executive of a big company on Earth, nor was he a leader in the work field.

He was just a young boy who had just graduated from college and newly stepped foot into society.

In terms of age, he was the youngest among the leadership members.

In terms of qualifications and life experience, everyone present to beat him by one whole round!

He was a diamond!

A diamond in the rough that Su Mo had dug out of the mud pit with his own hands!

“Shelter leader, you shouldn’t tease Chen Shen. Look at him. If you continue, others might think we were trying to match-make him with a woman!”

Taking a teasing glance at Chen Shen’s blushing face, Shen Ke, who was observant, stood up and helped Chen Shen relieve him from the situation.

Su Mo glanced at the leadership, who burst out laughing.

He stopped joking around and stretched his body before finally giving them closure.

“Well, why don’t you guys guess what I got this time?”

The simple question represented Su Mo’s attitude.

Before he said these words, everyone could not directly ask him, even if they were super curious about what he had drawn from the airdrop.

After all, the airdrop was, to a certain extent, considered Su Mo’s personal asset.

Apart from Su Chan, no one else in the territory had the right to ask him about it if he didn’t bring it up to them.

“Shelter leader, I’ve seen your airdrop before. The last time you got King Kong, so this time maybe…a tank?” Chen Shen was the first to speak up.

As soon as Chen Shen finished speaking, Pei Shao, who was beside him, shook his head and made a wise expression.

“How could it be a tank? That was because our shelter leader didn’t achieve such great results in the last one. This time the reward must be so much better! I’m guessing that it’s a weapon that deals bonus damage to foreign races?”

“Ugh! Why are you guys only guessing weapons? Why don’t you think about farming? It’s probably a lot of crop seeds so that we can plant lots of them in the winter!” said Shen Ke.

“What are crops in the doomsday wasteland if you don’t have weapons?! Weapons are much more valuable! I’ll take a guess that it’s a huge cannon and would blast away anyone that comes near our territory!” said Li Hu.

“Brother Hu, you’ve been playing too much of the game, Red Alert! Even if we had cannonballs, we don’t have the shells to fire! Based on the rewards I saw on the world channel before, maybe it’s a resource reward?”

“…”

A thousand readers would have a different view of a story.

Likewise, all the management had different guesses.

Everyone’s guesses amused Su Mo, but his face remained neutral throughout.

“You guys, you like to fight about this and that every day, and you don’t like peace at all! Anyway, Qi Qin was the only one that guessed it correctly. The one-time reward is a resource reward!”

Tsk…

After hearing the answer, everyone exchanged glances with a hint of surprise on their faces.

Their reaction was expected.

The previous airdrops, whether it was high-quality or low-quality, they were more or less the same.

Not to mention the special items, there were not many resource rewards.

Not to mention for the entire territory, it was rare to even for individuals to get resource rewards.

After all, the meaning of the airdrop distribution was to improve lives and help players improve their strength, not to let players get an opportunity and enjoy.

“Get ready, gather everyone over to move things! Today we shall celebrate!”

Su Mo knew what was on everyone’s mind.

He no longer suppressed his smile, took out a flesh-colored bag from his arms and uttered in his heart to receive the reward.

Boom!

20 tons of meat and 10 tons of vegetables.

The commotion caused by the food was much bigger than when the file was transferred earlier.

In just an instant, a huge gap opened in the air, just like when the lion man summoned the resources.

The big hole was three meters long and three meters wide.

A trace of cold air was blown out from it, and the surrounding temperature dropped by a few degrees out of thin air.

Then, before everyone could react, there was a crackling sound.

“What the f*ck! Is this… meat???”

When the first lamb shank wrapped in plastic fell from the huge void and fell to the ground, Chen Shen shook his head and observed it for a while but could not identify what it was.

Seconds later, when dozens of lamb shanks fell out, he immediately realized, and so did the others, including the villagers who watched from a distance.

Like hungry wolves, without any instructions, all the villagers dropped the tools in their hands and gathered at a speed that even Su Deben could not comprehend.

It only took two minutes and fifteen seconds, and a team of thousands of people stood in front of the village entrance, stunned as they watched the resources that continued to fall out from the huge void.

A lamb shank with bones weighed about ten pounds, and the boneless meat was between four and six pounds.

The game rewarded five tons of mutton and sure was precise with the amount given, the bones were free, and only the pure meat was counted.

Taking the average weight of a lamb shank would be five pounds.

There were about 2,000 lamb shanks that fell from the gap to the ground in just a few minutes and formed a small mountain of meat.

However, this was far from the end!

After the lamb shanks finished pouring out, the void flickered slightly, and it expanded a bit. The air that came out became even colder.

‘D*mn! These are… beef shanks?

After the lamb shanks, the meat that started to fall from the gap was much more familiar to everyone. It was the beef shank known as “beef shin.”

The meat was shaped like a long cone and came with bones. The meat was rosy and made those watching drool.

Thud!

Thud!

Every time a beef shank fell out of it, the bones of the two meat smashed together, and everyone’s heart beat along with it.

The process repeated until there were about over 1500 beef shanks that had fallen out.

Suddenly, whole chickens started to fall out.

The visual shock of the cut meat was not as shocking as when the whole chicken started to fall out.

When Su Mo saw the figure of five tons of chickens, he actually did not feel much about it.

However, at this moment, assuming a chicken was about three kilograms, five tons was 3400 chickens.

If the chickens were distributed among the villagers, everyone could receive two chickens!

“This… goodness, this…”

“Oh my god…

The people present started to get numb to the shock as more and more things fell out of the gap.

This was the reason why Su Mo chose to receive the resource at the village entrance for everyone to witness with their own eyes.

The basin needed an opportunity to motivate the people.

This was also the perfect chance to remind the villagers of their human heritage.

The self-confidence of the villagers not only came from the territory of Lord Su Mo but also came from within themselves.

He wanted everyone to understand that even without him, the basin was well-deserved to be called the number one territory among the human territories!

So when the time comes for them to communicate with humans on the outside or in caravans, the villagers of the basin would naturally have vigilance and would not be affected by the coming of these outsiders.

Fish meat.

Spinach, cabbage, celery, eggplant, leeks, lettuce, broccoli…

The food continued to pour out, and it lasted for about twenty more minutes. It was finally over when the last red chili fell to the ground.

Throughout the whole process, everyone watched at the beginning with their jaws wide open, and they kept exclaiming.

When they reached the middle of it, they were stunned and could not believe the scene in front of them.

By the end of it, everyone was numb from the shock that they were unsure of how to react anymore.

They went through several stages of emotions in a few minutes.

There was no doubt that this was a booster to get everyone motivated through the winter and to face the disasters in the future!

“What are you all doing standing there? Hurry and gather to move the stuff to the warehouse!

“Oh, by the way, pass along the message that after the meeting tonight, we will have hotpot for dinner! We’ll have an unlimited vegetable and meat hotpot buffet!

“As long as there’s no waste, everyone is allowed to eat as much as they can until they’re stuffed!”

While everyone was still stunned, Su Mo walked to the front and looked around at the food.

It was as the game said, the food was very fresh.

Aside from the meat that was frozen in the cold storage before, the ten tons of vegetables seemed to have just been picked from the ground, and some of the vegetable roots still had soil on them.

For humans who have survived for more than four months in the apocalypse, these resources were more than they could ever ask for!

“Okay, okay, I’ll arrange for the people to start moving! I’ll make the arrangements now!

It was like they had woken up from a dream.

After realizing that the scene was real, everyone had complicated expressions as they glanced at Su Mo but quickly recollected themselves and rushed to assemble the teams.

There was a burst of cheers when everyone heard that they were having a hotpot at night, especially when they heard the words “unlimited.”

Afterward, the crowd started to chant for Su Mo.

“Almighty Su Mo!”

“Long live the shelter leader!”

The villagers were like a dried field that had received the long-awaited rain. They immediately opened up their hearts and absorbed the water.

At this moment, everyone let down the defenses in their hearts!

…

With thousands of hands, even with the most primitive transporting methods, the accumulated resources on the field were immediately emptied and moved to where they belonged.

The cold storage that had been emptied before had also been replenished.

Looking at the packed warehouse, Shen Ke and Su Yuan, who stood at the warehouse door, had smiles on their faces.

To be blunt, this wave of resources was like a New Year’s celebration. Everyone would be able to have a prosperous celebration.

Meanwhile, the village chefs were working in full force.

For the hotpot dinner, many villagers had already marked their personal pots and temporarily lent them to the canteen.

With these pots, fresh vegetables, and a ton of seasoning that was stocked up in the basin, it was not difficult to make the stock base for the hotpot.

As the materials were poured into the pot, the oil temperature raised and burst.

In an instant, the air in the basin was filled with a strong aroma that made the villagers’ mouths water.

A small square was flattened at the village entrance.

Around this time, many people were busy arranging the venue for the upcoming meeting.

First, the tables and chairs that had been made a long time ago were carried out from the warehouse and placed in the open space with fresh air.

Then there was a high platform that was pieced ​​together and quickly assembled in front of the venue.

Once the familiar spotlights and headlights were in place, a red ribbon was wrapped around it.

Looking at it from a distance, it really looked had a festive feeling of a rural gathering.

…

After the venue was set up…

Seeing that it was still early, everyone suppressed their excitement and continued to run around making preparations for the disaster relief meeting.

Today, in the face of heavy snowfall, the basin had already completed its preparations and had a plan.

Time, place, people.

In the plan, everyone had tasks that had been delegated clearly, including minor functions that needed to be done in a few minutes, such as transferring and relaying things.

Everything was arranged in order.

The tools were prepared a long time ago and were already set in place in advance. They were also treated to resist the snow, and the work could begin as soon as the people were ready.

Although the clothes to keep warm were not ready, they had sufficient food and heat sources. With the addition of the Oreo statue, working in a temperature of -20 degrees for a short period would be no problem.

Minds were clear.

The plan was implemented.

Although individual disaster resistance and collective disaster resistance were two different things, there was no big difference in the preparations.

Even if everyone had full confidence in surviving the disaster, under the tense atmosphere, they did not dare to have any thoughts of slacking.

The collective was like a precise large-scale instrument.

It kept running until half-past six in the evening until the sky gradually got darker, and the machine slowly stopped.

The villagers washed up, changed, and headed to the venue to sit and wait for the discussion to begin.

Everyone chatted in a comfortable mood and thought about the future as they were surrounded by the bright lights and the fragrance of spices.

Compared to the previous disaster, this time the scale of the disaster was even greater, but everyone’s mentality had undergone a complete change.

They were more relaxed and prepared and had a mentality more suitable for the rhythm of the apocalypse.

With anticipation in their eyes, everyone stared at the middle of the empty high platform that had been arranged with a hint of hope for the future, and a longing to return to the embrace of human civilization.

…

“Hurry up, everyone hasn’t eaten yet, and we’re going to fight against the disaster that is around the corner!”

“Hurry up!”

Su Mo glanced at Su Deben, who was standing on the first floor of the shelter, constantly touching up his hairstyle and clothes in front of the mirror, as well as Lu Kuan, who had wet hair but had already changed into clean clothes as he walked around.

Su Mo smiled and urged them.

After the announcement of the new leadership positions and the vision of the four major factories tonight, the people recruited back from the expeditionary base were no longer nobodies.

They would be given a second life by Su Mo, and everyone would bear witness. This was a “resurrection” in the true sense.

From then onward, no one but Su Mo knew where they came from or what stories they had gone through in the past.

From now on, there were…

Compatriots from the same Earth!

“Su Mo, do you really think that… In the future, we can really be resurrected… and restart human civilization in this land?”

“Hmm? Why are you saying this all of a sudden?”

Looking at Su Deben, who was usually mature but evidently nervous at the moment, Su Mo scratched his head with a look of surprise.

Su Deben sighed. “Oh, maybe it’s because I’m really old and have no ambitions. The faster we go, the more I’m afraid that this is just a bubble, and it will be smashed by a hand from the sky in an instant.

“At one point, I thought it would take at least five years for us to get to where we are now, and five years at the fastest!

“However, it’s only a month, but it’s as if five years have passed…”

No one thought they would be an ordinary person in life.

At the same time, no one was sure that they were a special “genius.”

One of the things that most people often do was constantly question their past and deny the efforts they made as they grew up.

In this regard, whether it was a successful big shot or an unknown person at the bottom of the social hierarchy…

Everyone was the same.

No one was different.

Su Mo smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes, then looked into Su Deben’s eyes for a while.

“You!

“Why are you thinking so much? At least for now, we’re doing pretty well, aren’t we?”

Su Mo shook his head and said nothing further.

There was no clear progress bar above people’s heads, telling you that you worked hard today and gained experience or it had no progress.

There was also no clear numerical value to measure the impact of one’s effort today on the future.

The growth of most people was small but tenacious!
