103: Snowdrop

Shi Xu found her too adorable and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little face.

The two of them were very leisurely throughout the journey, while the others looked wary, as if they were somewhat afraid of the environment here.

Su Jinxuan saw that Su Mianmian and Shi Xu showed no signs of nervousness, and he couldn't help but say enviously, "How can you two be so relaxed?"

This was a desolate wilderness, surrounded by trees. Weren't they afraid at all?

Su Jinxuan couldn't help but look at them with envy.

Su Mianmian heard this, turned her head, and saw his envious gaze. She was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, "Brother, what's there to be afraid of?"

Why were they not afraid when they should be, and afraid when they shouldn't be?

Shi Xu had a psychic ability. If there were any danger here, would he still be talking to her so leisurely?

Su Jinxuan really was... Su Mianmian looked at him, shook her head, and didn't know what to say.

Su Jinxuan felt that his sister was looking down on him. Adhering to the principle of 'if you don't understand, ask,' he opened his mouth and asked, "Mianmian, why do you say that?

It's all trees here, aren't you afraid?"

It was dark and there were so many trees. Even a grown man like him was a little scared. Was Su Mianmian, a girl, not afraid at all?

Su Jinxuan was starting to doubt his life.

"Shi Xu isn't afraid, so what do I have to be afraid of?"

"Besides, with the apocalypse here, the only things I'm most afraid of are zombies and mutated animals and plants."

"Other things like ghosts and such, I'm not afraid of at all."

Su Mianmian looked at Su Jinxuan helplessly and explained.

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Mianmian, then turned to look at Shi Xu, and found that both of them looked unconcerned.

He thought for a moment and felt that Su Mianmian had an unspoken subtext.

Su Jinxuan pondered for a long time and finally understood what Su Mianmian's unspoken subtext was.

He slapped his forehead suddenly, looking utterly dejected.

Su Jinxuan expressed that he had somehow forgotten that Shi Xu had a psychic ability!

He was no longer afraid, and even started looking around intentionally and unintentionally.

Suddenly, he saw a glimmer of light on the right.

There were no fireflies at this time, so that light couldn't have come from fireflies.

He pulled Su Mianmian, signaling her with his eyes to look towards the light.

Su Mianmian didn't understand Su Jinxuan's meaning at first, but then she saw his eyes constantly glancing to the right. She followed his gaze and was immediately astonished.

She couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother, it's Snow Pearl Fruit!"

Su Mianmian hadn't expected to encounter Snow Pearl Fruit, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Su Jinxuan was just about to ask what Snow Pearl Fruit was when he noticed Su Mianmian had already run towards it.

Shi Xu followed closely behind her. Seeing this, Su Jinxuan quickly caught up.

The others didn't know what they were going to do and were unsure whether to follow.

Xu Huan thought for a moment and decided it was better not to have so many people follow.

"Everyone, let's wait for them here for a bit."

"They might have encountered something."

As soon as Xu Huan said this, everyone found a place to rest.

They had been rushing all this way and felt their stamina was running out.

Now that they could rest, they were naturally more than willing.

Su Mianmian hadn't expected that the Snow Pearl Fruit, which looked close, would actually require such a long walk to reach.

Perhaps because she was too excited this time, she didn't feel tired when she ran in front of the Snow Pearl Fruit.

Shi Xu and Su Jinxuan almost didn't catch up to her. Seeing her stop, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mianmian, what's this fruit for?"

"Can it be eaten?"

Su Jinxuan looked at the faintly glowing fruit and asked curiously.

Su Mianmian heard his words and shook her head mysteriously.

She reached out and picked the three Snow Pearl Fruits from the tree. The moment the Snow Pearl Fruits were picked, their light became even more dazzling.

Su Jinxuan, standing beside her, was shocked. He thought the fruit's light would dim as Su Mianmian picked it, but he hadn't expected... "Mianmian, stop being so cryptic."

"Quickly tell us what this Snow Pearl Fruit actually is."

Su Jinxuan's eyes followed the fruit closely, unwilling to miss any slight difference.

Seeing how curious he was, Su Mianmian finally explained, "This fruit is quite special. Its juice can be used to dye fabric."

Hearing this, Su Jinxuan thought it meant it could dye fabric with colors that girls liked, and he immediately lost interest.

He nodded, understanding, "Oh, so it can dye fabric in colors you like. Well, keep it safe, and you can dye it later."

Shi Xu had been watching Su Mianmian. He felt that something that could make Su Mianmian so excited was definitely not just the answer Su Jinxuan thought it was.

"Mianmian, does the dyed fabric have other uses?"

"I believe you absolutely wouldn't be so excited to chase after them just because they can dye colors."

Shi Xu said with certainty.

Su Mianmian hadn't expected Shi Xu to understand her so well. She looked up and gave him a "you're so smart" look, then turned her head and looked at Su Jinxuan proudly, saying, "Brother, you're wrong!

The fabric dyed with this can resist cold.

You're right, no matter how thin the fabric is, it can withstand the severe cold of the apocalypse."

Su Mianmian couldn't help but laugh as she watched Su Jinxuan's increasingly surprised expression.

Shi Xu knew this Snow Pearl Fruit must be amazing, but he hadn't expected them to be so powerful.

He couldn't help but look at them with a surprised gaze.

"Mianmian, is this stuff really that amazing?"

"Then these three fruits probably aren't enough to dye much fabric, are they?"

Su Jinxuan's shock paused, and he began to feel regretful.

There were too few of these fruits, and they were too rare. They didn't know how many they would have to find to get enough to dye one piece of clothing.

No wonder this fruit was so amazing; they probably wouldn't be able to finish making one piece of clothing in their entire lives.

"That's not necessarily true. These fruits always appear in clusters. We can go look around nearby. If we're lucky, we might find a large patch."

"But the people below..."

Su Mianmian thought of the people who were still waiting for them, and she felt a little hesitant.

She wanted the Snow Pearl Fruit, but she couldn't just leave those people unattended.

Su Mianmian became a little conflicted.

Shi Xu saw her dilemma. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go look for a while first to see if we can find any. If we can't, we'll go back.

They should be resting under Xu Huan's organization now, so there's no need to worry about them."

They had been rushing all day, so they must be exhausted. Shi Xu felt that if they left for a while, those people probably wouldn't say anything.

After all, those people probably wanted to take advantage of their absence to rest.

Seeing Shi Xu say this, Su Mianmian immediately nodded happily.

"Let's just go up. Generally, when looking for Snow Pearl Fruit, you look higher up."

"It seems more suitable for them to grow higher up."

Su Mianmian wasn't very clear about this; these were conclusions she drew from reading novels, and she didn't know if they could be verified in reality.

There were no other clues for now, so they could only search this way.

Su Mianmian only hoped to find Snow Pearl Fruit, so her efforts of coming out to search for supplies with Shi Xu would not be in vain.

The three of them walked uphill on the hard snow. After an unknown amount of time, they suddenly saw specks of light appearing ahead.

"Mianmian, we might have really found the Snow Pearl Fruit's lair."

Su Jinxuan looked ahead in shock, his eyes fixed.

Su Mianmian nodded, not caring if Su Jinxuan could see her response.

Shi Xu, however, was calmer. He looked at the patch of Snow Pearl Fruit with a calm gaze, saying nothing.

"Everyone, pick them separately. These fruits don't last long, and we don't know how long they've been formed, so we need to pick them quickly."

"Here, a bag for everyone, hurry up and get to it!"

Su Mianmian took out two large bags from her spatial dimension, handing one to Shi Xu and one to Su Jinxuan, while speaking anxiously.

As soon as Shi Xu and Su Jinxuan took them, Su Mianmian rushed over and started picking.

"Shi Xu, let's hurry up and pick too!"

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Mianmian, who was already picking, then turned to Shi Xu, who hadn't moved yet, and said.

Shi Xu nodded, and the two of them followed Su Mianmian, not too far or too close, and started picking.
