Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 231 : Squeezing into Mountain Leopard Team’s Task Force (5)

Ye Nai remained silent. After changing her clothes, she did a lap around the storefront and saw everyone brushing their teeth and washing their faces, with no one paying attention to her. So, she returned under the awning to clean up as well.

Once she was finished cleaning up, she collected the bathroom and laundromat one by one. The sink remained as it would still be needed. After packing up the folding table, she grabbed her meal bucket and headed to the canteen to scrounge a free breakfast.

While lining up, someone eventually noticed the unfamiliar figure in front of them and tapped on her shoulder. Ye Nai turned around, startling the person with a scream.

Then everyone complimented her on how sharp she looked in her new outfit.

After eating and tidying up, the Mountain Leopard Team, along with various private squads, were packing up the camp, ready to set off.

Ye Nai had it easy, clearing her campsite in one minute flat. She released her off-road vehicle and sat inside, waiting.

At seven o'clock sharp, the Mountain Leopard Team left on schedule. Ye Nai followed the logistic vehicles, with the private squads joining in succession. Those left behind had to figure out how to catch up with the main force.

Just like the day before, they ran all day, only stopping for a rest at noon.

The morning was uneventful, but in the afternoon, the silhouettes of mutant beasts could be seen flashing through the bushes and trees.

At this time, Ye Nai could see from the rearview mirror private squads breaking off from the main force to go hunting independently.

She didn't move. Based on the feedback from the released spores, there weren't many prey in this area. She left them for the less capable private squads, not wanting to steal their business.

But she wouldn't shamelessly follow the Mountain Leopard Team to their own hunting grounds either. From what she had observed the previous night, there were a few strong private squads on this mission. The men and women in the main combat teams had arms so thick they could knock out a cow with a single punch. They would definitely stick around for a couple more days, so it was fine for her to just keep pace with them.

In the evening, during the rest period, Ye Nai still set up her area next to the logistic camp, with the bathroom ready for a shower as soon as it was brought out.

The boiler automatically filled and heated the water, and after a night, both bathrooms had hot water ready by morning, having been stored in her space all day. Of course, she could use it directly when she took it out, saving the time needed to heat water.

The people at the logistic camp were speechless when they saw the two ready-to-use bathrooms.

Deputy squad leader Xu Tong came over at the news and pulled Ye Nai aside for a private conversation.

"Can your space keep things fresh?"

"Yes," Ye Nai giggled, "you didn't ask yesterday either."

Xu Tong's mouth opened and closed several times, struggling with what he wanted to say and how to say it. Eventually, he just rubbed Ye Nai's head.

"With your special ability, you'd be a treasured talent anywhere. It's just because the East Ridge Secret Realm is gone that it's even possible for you to be out here."

"Mm-hmm-hmm~"

"Do you want to enlist?"

"No, I don't take orders well."

"Never mind, I shouldn't have asked."

Xu Tong knew it was pointless to ask. With Ye Nai's space's ability to preserve freshness, East Ridge City's danger zones would have wanted her to enlist immediately, and if she hadn't, it certainly must have been her own decision.

"Not taking orders well" was a good excuse for refusal.

"Believe me, I'm not brushing you off. Once we're out, you can ask around Danger Zone Number 5 in East Ridge City. It's better for everyone if I work as a Solo Hunter."

Xu Tong nodded, returned to the camp, and instructed everyone to go shower. He also issued a gag order to the entire camp, forbidding them from revealing Ye Nai's space's ability to keep things fresh.

Before long, Captain Li Ping met with Xu Tong, and when the conversation turned to Ye Nai, both were left speechless, inwardly consumed with envy.

The Mountain Leopard Team didn't have a Big Space User who could store perishable goods.

There was a Space Awakened, some with large spatial capacity, and even one whose space was bigger than Ye Nai's, but none could freeze time to store fresh and frozen items.

"It's fine if she doesn't obey orders, no team can keep her that way. With her quality, it's indeed a waste to have her as a human warehouse in logistics. Let's see how she performs this time, and we can discuss it afterward," said Captain Li Ping decisively, and Xu Tong had no objections, so it was settled.

After setting up camp, the cooking squad started to prepare food, those who were on patrol or standing guard dispersed, leaving only a few who were free to bring over their clothes for a bath.

The private teams' camps were a bit closer than the night before; even those who drove to take a bath last night were now coming on foot while it was still daylight.

"The water heated up so quickly today?"

"The boiler can keep itself warm, plus it was heated all night. During the day, we store boiling water in our space, so by the end of the day, the temperature isn't bad. Just a small reheat, and everyone can bathe early, right? There were still people coming for a bath after midnight."

"Right, right, we were already asleep last night, but we heard cars passing by our camp."

The private teams that came to check found nothing wrong; the new boiler's insulation was good, allowing for early baths and laundry without waiting for a late hour and queuing up.

Today, Ye Nai didn't join the bath-time bustle and instead got her personal bathroom going, mainly to get the boiler operational so there would always be 200 liters of hot water ready.

The night passed utterly uneventfully.

They set out early the next morning.

Along the way, several teams split off to hunt their own prey.

The third day was the same.

However, by the time they camped in the evening, only a few strong private teams were still with the Mountain Leopard Team. Most private teams had left during that day's follow, as they had reached the area they could handle.

Ye Nai felt it was time for her to leave too.

She shared her thoughts, and immediately, half a box of her cigarettes were sold.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Ye Nai drove off alone.

The spores released during yesterday's camp had naturally grown many fungus strands overnight. These strands released more spores that danced with the wind. Apart from landing and naturally taking root, they would fall directly onto valuable medium to large mutant beasts, providing Ye Nai with their locations.

Ye Nai sped over ten kilometers and plunged into a dense thicket. She stowed her car and left using Space Teleportation.

In the Five Bridges Secret Realm, she couldn't enter her own East Ridge Secret Realm, but it didn't affect her free use of Space Teleportation within the Five Bridges Secret Realm.

Following the spore's guidance, Ye Nai searched one by one; large animals like wild boars, buffalo, and deer were her targets. Out of respect for the Mountain Leopard Team, she took out her rifle and hunted properly. After a few shots and kills, she stowed them in her space.

She continued until the afternoon, reaping a rich harvest. She had already met the day's goal of a hundred thousand and still had a surplus.

At that point, Ye Nai decided to take care of a little private matter.

She dove into a small grove and used the miniaturized map of the East Ridge Secret Realm in her mind to see if it could guide her to the altar within the Five Bridges Secret Realm.

The mini map spun round and round for several minutes. Ye Nai was starting to feel dizzy when the Heart Core Ore in her space, already half its original size, suddenly shrank by another half.

But she had her result.
