“Xue Miaomiao…”
As soon as Jiang Yan thought of the actions of that perverted demon, she felt uncomfortable all over.
However, she quickly realized that even if Flame Base were in this city, it was impossible for them to occupy the entire city.
This relentless blizzard not only trapped her but others as well.
At least in the short term, she was safe.
As for the long term, she had two good legs, and once the snow stopped, she could leave this city of troubles behind.
With this in mind, Jiang Yan stored the gasoline electric saw in the Space.
She was about to head back to the cabin when Hua Bao excitedly cried out with a sliver of Xiao Yezi pointing at the dead tree trunk she had just sawed down:
“Jiejiejie!” Mom! Look! There are little ear mushrooms on the dead tree trunk!
“Little ear mushrooms??”
Jiang Yan bent down to take a closer look.
Indeed, on the withered and nearly half-rotten tree trunk grew some ochre and blackish-gray fungi.
Caught up in sawing the tree and identifying the rings, she really hadn’t paid much attention.
“These are tree Ganoderma and wild black fungus.”

These two things were common in Anming’s region, and Jiang Yan recognized them in a second.
Touching them, she found they were still fresh.
They weren’t very big, probably having sprouted after the recent heavy rain.
“Jiejiejie!” Mom, these are good things, right? I remember, eating Ganoderma can make you immortal!
Jiang Yan couldn’t help but laugh, “Pfft,”
“That’s just made up in TV dramas. But these two, they are really good. Ganoderma slices can nourish the body and calm the mind when soaked in water, although they are quite bitter. As for the wild black fungus, it’s crispy, delicate, very tasty and can clear out toxins from the body.”
Survival of the fittest.
She truly hadn’t expected that, after high temperatures and torrential rains, with all things withered, she would still encounter living things in the wild.
But then again, the snow had only started not long ago.
In the future, the conditions would probably not be suitable for these fungi to survive.
Upon hearing this, Hua Bao sprang up and quickly scanned the other dead trunks.
“Jiejiejie!” Mom, there are so many more! There are lots on every tree!
At this news, Jiang Yan lightly touched them with her finger and collected the dead trunk with Ganoderma and black fungus into the Space, then got up.
Indeed, the trunks in this forest of dead trees were all covered with Ganoderma and wild black fungus.
If these trunks were placed in the Space, then the Ganoderma and black fungus would naturally continue to grow.
Even if the Ganoderma and black fungus were eventually picked, these dead trunks would still be useful materials.
What seemed like useless firewood was in fact a treasure all over.
Jiang Yan’s heart surged with sudden joy, as if she had discovered a new world.
Previously, in Xiangcheng, the earthquake and the rodent disaster came too suddenly, and she didn’t get any coal mines.
Now here, she decided to take advantage of the blizzard not yet burying the trees, to collect a few mountains covered with fungi, which was quite good.
After all, it was like God was giving her food, serving it right up to her mouth.
Why not take it when it’s free?
“Let’s go, back home.” Jiang Yan made up her mind, then walked towards the cabin.
The ground was already covered with a thin layer of snow, crunching underfoot.
The Hua Bao Vine wrapped around her calf, puzzled:
“Jiejiejie?” Mom, aren’t you taking these little mushrooms?
It had seen Jiang Yan collect the dead tree trunk into the Space, which meant they were useful and good stuff!
Moreover, it could help.
It had carefully observed Jiang Yan sawing trees earlier and had learned the skill in a second.
It had six “hands.”
One “hand” could roll up a sharp electric saw and “zeng zeng zeng” saw through the trees.
To bring down an entire mountainside for Mom was just a matter of time!
“Yes, but we need to plan carefully, no rush.”
At that moment, it was still early, and the light wasn’t very good.
A good preparation is the key to efficiently do the job.
Once back in the cabin, Jiang Yan brushed the snowflakes from her body, acclimatized for a moment, then entered the Space.
After having a high-calorie and filling breakfast and changing into warm, moisture-proof, and cold-weather gear, Jiang Yan came out of the Space.
She was also wearing a set of waterproof, breathable snow camouflage invisibility clothing on the outside.
Military-grade, with an excellent concealment effect.
The temperature was too low, the portable power supply was running out of electricity quickly from last night, and Jiang Yan didn’t bother to change it, directly storing it back in the Space.
Tents, thermometers, floor lamps, heaters, and braziers and other supplies were also put away.
After making sure nothing was left out, Jiang Yan, wearing her flight suit, stepped out with Hua Bao.
The ground was already covered with a palm-thick layer of snow.
In the distance, it was a vast expanse of white.
Jiang Yan had decided that the woods near her cabin served as her cover, so she definitely would collect them into the Space last.
Thus, she planned to start harvesting from afar and work her way back.
And this harvesting couldn’t be slow.
It was a race against the blizzard for time.
She also knew about Hua Bao’s willingness to help.
So, earlier in the Space, she had already selected the six sharpest gasoline saws in advance, with brand new saw blades and full oil tanks.
After donning a pair of Snow Goggles, Jiang Yan activated the jet flight suit and flew towards another mountain.
The blizzard was fierce, whistling past.
With the wind being too strong and her vision obstructed, Jiang Yan didn’t dare to fly too high or too fast.
Places that she could normally fly to in a minute or two took her a grueling seven or eight minutes.
But it was still a lot faster than walking.
Hua Bao, as usual, stood on her shoulder, extending its six vines, and vigilantly surveyed 360 degrees for her protection.
Finally, she arrived at her destination.
She took out a telescope, surveyed the entire area, and after double-confirming that there were no residential areas or moving objects nearby, she took out the electric saw.
Hua Bao couldn’t wait and immediately extended its vines to roll up the saws.
Jiang Yan helped it get started and instructed, “Hua Bao, don’t rush, let’s try it first.”
“Jiejiejie!” Alright, Mom, just watch!
The genius baby learned in a second, and the piercing buzz sounded in the valley.
Fortunately, the whooshing of the blizzard drowned out some of the noise.
Quickly, something quite magical to Jiang Yan but spooky to others unfolded in a piece of deep, old forest.
Six sharp electric saws flew into the air, booming in unison as they moved neatly across the ground toward a cluster of dead trees.
The dead trees covered in fungi were swiftly felled.
An undetectable, fully-equipped slim figure, holding two climbing sticks, trailed slowly behind the fallen limbs.
Then, as if by magic, with a touch of the climbing sticks, those dead trees disappeared from the ground…

A month quickly passed.
The mountain peaks around Jiang Yan’s cabin were now bare and covered in white.
The temperature had dropped to negative thirty-something degrees.
The black stumps left by Hua Bao’s felling were covered by several meters of white snow.
Aside from occasionally going out to reinforce the cabin’s roof, Jiang Yan returned to a leisurely homebody life.
This afternoon.
She added some fuel to the heater, and was about to enter the Space to feed the fish.
When from the distant snowy fields came the roaring of engines and the woeful cries of “awoo, awoo”…
