To prepare for the next journey,
Ye Peitian and others decided to search for some easy-to-preserve food in Winter Melon Town.
It has been nearly three months since the arrival of the Demon Seed, and most of the food left over from the civilization era has begun to spoil.
A large number of survivors flocked to the wilderness to survive, and the food that could be eaten in the wild was gradually wiped out by the hungry crowd.
Until new settlements are built and stabilized, the problem of human existence will enter its most severe period.
Chu Qianxun, who was frequently injured in two consecutive battles, was forced to stay in the camp to "guard supplies".
Chu Qianxun was lying in the camp, with his hands behind his head, he stretched his feet boredly, and counted the few clouds floating in the sky.
Since the rebirth, her rhythm has been very tight every day. This is the first time that she is so leisurely and she is not used to it.
She really wanted to get up and do two sets of punches and do some basic training, but Gao Yan, who stayed to accompany her, disagreed.
"You give me a rest, look at your injuries." Gao Yan said solemnly, "You are not as strong as Xiao Ye, who has the ability to recover. If you don't lie down, I'm really angry."
"Sister Yan," Chu Qianxun had to lie down obediently, "you were not like this before."
Gao Yan: "What was I like before?"
Chu Qianxun turned his head to look at her for a long time: "You used to be very fierce, and I have never seen you so gentle."
"What's wrong, sister, I have always been gentle and beautiful." Gao Yan stretched out her finger and poked Chu Qianxun's forehead,
"By the way, when did you meet me? I don't remember at all."
Chu Qianxun didn't speak, just laughed.
The older sister of the twins came over.
The twin sisters are named Jiao Yuling and the younger sister is Jiao Yuzhu. They have almost the same appearance, but the older sister looks calm and capable, while the younger sister is mild and timid, and it is still easy to distinguish in terms of temperament.
Chu Qianxun sat up and extended his hand to her: "Hello, thank you for your help yesterday."
"It should be. If it weren't for you, I can't imagine what would happen to my sister." Jiao Yuling reached out and shook Chu Qianxun.
"I want to ask you, do you still have antipyretics and pain relievers? Last night, Yuzhu also started to have a fever."
She was holding a first-order demon seed covered with liquid in her hand, which was obviously just cut out from the monster.
"I'll exchange this with you."
Only then did Chu Qianxun realize that Jiao Yuling was covered in mud and dirt, with large and small wounds all over his body, and the three cuts on his arm that were scratched by sharp claws were especially serious.
This is a strong girl. She doesn't want to owe her favor in vain, so she found and killed a monster overnight and exchanged the magic seed for medicine.
"I can give you medicine, but don't worry about the Demon Seed. Your sister has a fever, and she should be evolving like you. You don't have to be overly careful. Taking medicine doesn't really help." Chu Qianxun said.
"The Exotic Land Reclamation of Vegetable Skeletons"
"It must be evolution to get a fever. We all went through this process when we evolved." Gao Yan grabbed Jiao Yuling, a white light appeared on her hand, and healed her wound, "You are really amazing, you dare to just get the ability. Go hunting alone."
The light of healing in Gao Yan's hand covered the open wound on Jiao Yuzhu's arm. The three claw marks that were deeply visible on the bone slowly stopped the bleeding and healed a little.
"Thank you, I've troubled you again." Jiao Yuzhu looked at the pure white light in Gao Yan's hand, "I know that Yuzhu may be the same as me. But when I evolved before, it was very painful, and my whole body seemed to fall into magma. I was burned and tortured repeatedly. During this process, my consciousness was always awake, but my body couldn’t move or speak.”
"My sister, she has been very squeamish since she was a child. She would cry for a long time if she was aggrieved. I was worried that she couldn't bear the pain, so I wanted to exchange some painkillers and antipyretics with you."
Chu Qianxun pulled out the pills, handed them to Jiao Yuling, and accepted her Demon Seed at her insistence.
In this way, the girl does not need unnecessary charity from others. Just treat her with respect and equality.
"Yu Ling." Chu Qianxun stopped Jiao Yuling, who was about to leave, "We are going to Ludao. If you sisters don't have a special destination, do you want to go with us?"
Jiao Yuling turned her head to look at Chu Qianxun and Gao Yan who were sitting on the grass.
Since the arrival of the Demon Seed, she and her younger sister have been struggling to survive all the way. It can be said that in just two or three months, they have tasted all kinds of malice.
The two girls of the same age in front of her were the ones who brought her warmth for the first time after the apocalypse. This warmth may have completely changed her and Yuzhu's life.
When she fell into a state of high fever, her mind was strangely sober.
She could clearly hear everything that was happening around her.
When the always weak sister stood in front of the five men in order to ask for medicine for her, she almost went crazy.
At that moment, a cold and unfamiliar emotion rose from the bottom of her heart.
She had a strange feeling that if her sister was dragged away by those disgusting men at that time, she might not be able to wake up in human form again.
Jiao Yuling's always indifferent face showed a sincere smile: "Thank you, Qianxun, Gao Yan. My sister and I are still looking for our family. If there is a chance in the future, I hope to meet you again."
By lunchtime, the teammates showed no sign of returning.
Chu Qianxun and Gao Yan made a fire to cook.
"Come and cook, Sister Yan?"
"Me? I won't."
Before the apocalypse, Gao Yan was a woman who lived on takeout food, and had basically never entered the kitchen, let alone cooking with this kind of earthen pot.
"Qianxun, don't you know? Before Xiaoye came, it was you who made things to eat." Gao Yan pushed the task to Chu Qianxun.
"Me? I can only cook things."
In Chu Qianxun's life experience, things that can be eaten raw will never be fired, and things that can't be eaten raw should be cooked as quickly as they can be stuffed into the stomach without wasting.
Chu Qianxun and Gao Yan looked at each other.
The two randomly cooked a pot of bland and tasteless food, barely filling their stomachs.
After drinking the soup that was simmered in his hands, Chu Qianxun was startled to realize that he didn't care what he ate like before.
Sure enough, from frugality to luxury is easy, and from luxury to frugality is difficult. She sighed in her heart that she didn't feel anything after eating similar food every day for ten years. After being used by Ye Peitian for a month, she became squeamish.
As Gao Yan drank the unappetizing soup, she thought to herself that the quality of life would be very different if Xiao Ye was not there.
She cast a glance at Chu Qianxun, who was very slow in certain matters.
Such a good cabbage is in front of you and you don't know how to do it. It's a fool.
In the evening, the two women dawdled tacitly and stopped talking about cooking.
Each frequently looked towards the camp gate.
Fortunately, before the sunset, the friends who went out to find food came back with large and small bags.
"Have you eaten yet?" Ye Peitian put down his things, rolled up his sleeves and started to prepare meals.
He first wrapped a bag of clams salvaged from the sea in tinfoil from the shopping mall, and roasted them on the fire.
They stuffed a pot of white rice with a casserole, and added the sausage they found to the rice.
Jiang Xiaojie said happily, "I'm amazing. It's the rice I found. It's not broken and can be eaten. It's a pity that it's just that. I don't know when the next time I can eat rice."
The white rice absorbed the meaty aroma and fat of the sausage, and swelled up in the casserole, causing the entire camp to stretch their necks to look at them.
The most common rice before the end of the day has become something that can be encountered but not sought after at this time.
There are not many teams here that have the strength to go deep into towns with many monsters and search for food that has not yet spoiled.
Ye Peitian raised his hand slightly and casually raised another earthen stove on the ground. He took the dried scallops and shiitake mushroom vermicelli and other dry goods that Granny Feng had soaked and washed, and simmered a large pot of soup in a clay pot.
Chu Qianxun squatted beside him to help out, looking at the pot of thick soup with various ingredients rolling in his eyes, he couldn't help licking his lips.
"Are you hungry?" Ye Peitian turned his face, took out a small ball wrapped in golden tin foil from his pocket, and quietly handed it to her, "Eat this first."
Chu Qianxun peeled off the tin foil and found a small piece of melted, deformed, and solidified chocolate inside.
"Sister Yan, do you want chocolate?" She asked Gao Yan, who was preparing tableware not far from her.
Ye Peitian was slightly nervous.
Gao Yan rolled her eyes at Chu Qianxun like a fool, stood up and walked away from them.
"Sister Yan, why are you looking like that?" Chu Qianxun inexplicably stuffed the small ball of chocolate into his mouth.
When the sweet and rich taste melted in her mouth, she found that Ye Peitian lowered his head unnaturally and avoided her eyes.
There was a warm warm current in her mouth, and when she noticed it, it slid down her throat quickly.
A familiar feeling rose within Chu Qianxun's body.
It's a demon.
She raised her head in surprise and looked at Ye Peitian.
Ye Peitian mixed the third-order demon seed in the chocolate and let her eat it.
"You... don't be angry." Ye Peitian was a little flustered, and even started to explain, "I think you should be promoted first, so that when the rest of us go up, we can be safer with your help. ."
Chu Qianxun looked at Ye Peitian and suddenly realized that his heart had missed a beat.
She felt that Ye Peitian might not realize how precious the high-level demons are in the apocalypse.
Whether it is friends, relatives, or even lovers, few people will hand over the demons suitable for their upgrade.
A partner, no matter how close, is not as reliable as oneself. No matter how powerful others are, it is not important to improve their own strength. This is the consensus of almost all people who survived to the end of the apocalypse.
Open the tinfoil wrapping the clams, and the clams that retain the original taste are so fresh that you can almost swallow your tongue together.
The sausage was boiled out of mellow oil, and the layers penetrated into the crystal clear rice. Every bite can give people the greatest satisfaction.
Eating delicious clams, cooking rice with salty sausages, and drinking hot scallops and vermicelli mushroom soup, all people are immersed in the happiness of tasting delicious food.
Especially when the whole camp is looking at it with an envious look. This dinner was even more enjoyable.
Only Chu Qianxun finished the sumptuous dinner in a state of ignorance.
During the day, she and Gao Yan rested all day, and at night they both took the lead to keep watch.
In the silent night, Chu Qianxun stirred the small bonfire in front of him, and suddenly asked Gao Yan, who was beside him,
"Sister Yan, do you think Xiao Ye him?"
"What is he?" Gao Yan turned to look at her.
"Um... nothing."
Chu Qianxun shook his head, feeling that he must be thinking wrong. At such a precarious time, he would be in the mood to think about such inexplicable things, and it would make people laugh when he said it.
Ye Peitian is right, his ability has improved, and all the partners in the team will have more protection when they upgrade to higher ranks. Since Ye Peitian can be selfless and sacrifice his personal interests for everyone, What is there not to accept
Chu Qianxun thought happily.
Focusing on improving your abilities is the most important thing right now. As long as you can maintain your level advantage and are not afraid to participate in actual combat, even if your abilities are a little bit worse, you will never become a weakling.
