The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Forty-Seven)
The big cat actually helped find the trail of the bats; the bats seemed to have flown together to another cave-like place about ten minutes away.
However, this entrance is much narrower than the previous cave entrance; at least, people can't get in.
Liang Anlin felt a little regretful, but was more grateful to Black Panther for helping them get out of danger.
"It's a good thing we have you, Boss Song, and your Leopard Master here, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to move an inch."
With the lessons of the past right before his eyes, his words came entirely from the bottom of his heart.
Song Ning smiled and didn't say anything polite.
"If there's anything suitable for Brother Leopard after that, please let me have it, Brother Liang."
Liang Anlin nodded naturally, "Of course."
If wild animals can use something, doesn't that mean humans basically don't need it? Giving it to them to boost our favor is a must.
On the day we returned to the cave, there was some good news.
The cave from which the swarm of bats emerged was covered in bat droppings, piled up like mountains, so large that they were almost unrecognizable at first glance.
It was Liang Anlin's man who accidentally tripped and fell, accidentally biting someone in the mouth. He quickly spat it out.
"Wait, what are these things? These aren't stones!"
He let out a strange cry, and the others curiously gathered around to take a look.
Someone reached out to touch it, and Song Ning hesitated for a moment, "...Shouldn't we all refrain from touching it? I feel like this isn't a stone, it's more like some kind of... excrement?"
Those who had already reached out and touched it were on the verge of tears, while the others who hadn't touched it yet couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Liang Anlin couldn't help but chuckle as he stepped forward and examined the object closely with a flashlight, overjoyed.
"It is indeed feces; this place should be full of it."
These days, manure is a valuable commodity. Not to mention the base itself, they're collecting it from afar, and there seems to be quite a bit of manure here. It can be transported out and exchanged for a lot of good stuff.
Liang Anlin: "It seems we're still pretty lucky. Leave two people here to keep watch, and one person goes back to inform Xiaowu and the others before following us."
"clear."
After he finished speaking, he explained to Song Ning, "Don't underestimate these things. The base has been harvesting these crops all the time. There's a lot of stuff in here. We've made a profit this time."
Song Ning thought for a moment, then tapped the stone next to her with her index finger.
"The planting at the base seems quite sophisticated? But with the weather being so extreme right now, is it really easy to grow anything there?"
Liang Anlin shrugged. "Who knows? I can't be sure about anything else, but the base definitely has a knack for growing corn. Otherwise, where would all those corn cakes come from in the market?"
He used to eat rice, but now that cornbread is the hard currency, he eats cornbread every day, and he's gotten used to it.
Song Ning thought it made a lot of sense, and in any case, as long as the base was willing to take them in, they would have made another profit.
But thinking about it this way, the supplies found during underground exploration are quite unexpected.
However, something is better than nothing, and the fact that the bats, though startling, did not cause any real harm was already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
The team continued to advance cautiously. It was already the second day since they entered the underground. Time was of the essence and the task was heavy, so no one was going to waste any more time.
However, after walking for about an hour, they ran into Captain Man and his group, who looked very anxious.
We had barely exchanged glances when Sister Man reminded me in a hurried voice.
"Be careful as you continue forward. We've discovered a very dangerous plant hiding in the shadows..."
Liang Anlin spoke up at the same time, "Captain Man, you've come at the perfect time. We've encountered a terrifying plant..."
A hint of surprise flashed across both of them.
Sister Man glanced at the team and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you alright? It's good that you also discovered that this plant is dangerous. I've seen quite a few people get injured or even lose their lives because of it along the way."
Liang Anlin told the truth, "We were lucky; it was Leopard who discovered it first."
Sister Man understood. She looked at the black leopard beside Song Ning with a sigh, "As expected, animals are always more alert than humans."
She waved her hand, "I'm glad you're all alright. I won't stay any longer. I need to go see if there are any other people nearby so I can inform them."
"Wait a moment, Captain Man."
Liang Anlin stopped the person and then explained that a group of people had been murdered.
Sister Man paused for a moment, then reached up and rubbed her temples.
"I see. I didn't expect that someone would still have an accident, and that the entire army would be wiped out."
A teammate behind her could not hide her sorrow and felt sorry for their captain.
"They should be the fastest in this direction. Why don't you take a rest first, Captain? You've been traveling since dawn and you must be exhausted."
Sister Man waved her hand, "It's most important to make sure everyone's safety first; it's a matter of life and death."
She then hurriedly led a group of people away, carrying with her the information about bats that Liang Anlin had given her.
Seeing Sister Man like this, Song Ning felt more at ease.
He reminded everyone, "Let's go, let's hurry up too."
The distance they walked on the second day was much shorter than on the first day.
Firstly, the deeper they go, the more complex the overall road conditions become. Secondly, they dare not let their guard down and are extremely careful, as they would not want to miss anything, whether it is danger or supplies.
Fortunately, on the afternoon of the second day, just as they were about to set up camp and rest, they discovered a batch of furniture.
This place probably used to be a furniture store. They found that many of the furniture pieces were broken, but two sets were well-preserved and usable.
After observing for a moment, Liang Anlin couldn't help but complain, "This is probably one of those old shops that sells inferior products under the guise of solid wood furniture. Only those two sets are displayed at the entrance to attract customers, and the other set is just in case they need to be handed over as a token gesture."
Song Ning wasn't very clear on these matters, but judging from Liang Anlin's tone, he clearly had some knowledge of them.
Both sets of furniture are the kind of heavy and large sofa + coffee table + small coffee table sets, one set has six pieces, and the two sets have twelve pieces.
Song Ning was given the largest main sofa by Liang Anlin. Liang Anlin's exact words were, "Won't this Leopard Master take up a lot of territory? A small sofa won't be enough. Even if we don't use it, it'll be more durable when chopped into wood for fire later."
Song Ning did not refuse this kind offer. The big cat did like to stay close to him, and it was warm on the kang (heated brick bed) when it got cold.
When the weather gets hotter, having this cool, solid wood sofa would be nice.
Song Ning was completely unaware that in her subconscious, she not only didn't want to be separated from Da Mao, but even tacitly accepted that they would stick together.
