A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 103

"We're really living the good life following Demi. We're eating well and are always full. And we even have fruit to help with digestion!" Chad said with satisfaction.

The others nodded in agreement.

Finally, one of the images finished loading. Demi opened it, identified the fruit, and replied to the message.

"Let's pack up and get ready to move. We need to find a spot to set up camp for the night," Maria said to the group.

"Got it!" Everyone quickly got up and started tidying up.

There was little to clean since most of the food had already been eaten. They put out the fire, washed the pot with seawater, and packed their belongings.

"Let me reply to Mr. Yale's message first," Demi explained to the group.

"No worries, take your time."

"It's not like there's much else to do."

"You've been busy the whole time. Take a break."

Everyone waved her off.

Demi continued replying to Nigel. She hadn't studied which wild fruits were edible before coming here and was identifying them on the spot.

Luckily, her sharp senses helped her remember the appearance of the fruits they had gathered and the plants they grew on, so she could confidently tell Nigel which ones were safe.

Of course, she simply ignored anything poisonous or unfamiliar.

By the time everyone had finished packing, Demi still hadn't replied to all the messages. There were too many images, and they loaded too slowly.

"Let's get going. I'll reply while we walk," Demi said.

…

Back in the south, whenever Demi confirmed a fruit was edible, Nigel immediately directed the group to start picking.

They didn't even bother washing them and just wiped them on their clothes before popping them into their mouths.
