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 no longer be able to wake up in a human form.
Jiao Yulingâs always indifferent face showed a sincere smile, âThank you, Qianxun, Gao Yan. My sister and I will look for our family. If we have a chance, I hope to meet you again in the future.â
By lunch time, the teammates showed no sign of returning, so Chu Qianxun and Gao Yan made a fire to cook.
âYou can cook, Sister Yan?â
âMe? I canât.â
Before the end, Gao Yan was a woman who relied on take-out food. She had barely been in the kitchen, let alone cooking with this kind of clay pot and stove.
âQianxun, donât you know? Before Xiaoye came, it was you who made food to eat,â Gao Yan pushed the task to Chu Qianxun.
âMe? I can only cook things.â
In Chu Qianxunâs life experience, things that could be eaten raw would never be cooked, and things that couldnât be eaten raw should be cooked quickly and not wasted.
Chu Qianxun and Gao Yan looked at each other.
The two of them boiled a pot of bland food and stuffed them into their stomachs.
Drinking the soup stewed in her hands, Chu Qianxun realized that she was no longer indifferent to what she had to eat like before.
Sure enough, it was easy to change from frugality to luxury, but difficult to change from luxury to frugality. She sighed in her heart that she hadnât felt anything after eating similar foods for ten years. After being used to Ye Peitian for a month, she became squeamish.
Gao Yan sipped the soup while thinking in her heart that the absence of Xiaoye would make a huge difference in the quality of life.
She glanced at Chu Qianxun, who was very slow in certain things.
Such a good cabbage was in front of her eyes and she didnât know how to make food with it, it was really silly.
In the evening, the two women dangled in a tacit understanding and stopped talking about cooking.
They looked at the entrance of the camp frequently.
Fortunately, before the sunset, the friends who went out looking for food returned with large and small bags.
âHavenât you eaten yet?â Ye Peitian put down his things, rolled up his sleeves and started preparing food.
He first took a bag of clams and set it on the fire for roasting.
A pot of white rice was stuffed in a casserole, and the sausage they found was added to the rice.
Jiang Chengzhu happily boasted, âIâm amazing. Itâs the rice I found. It did not go bad and can be eaten. Itâs a pity that I donât know when I can eat rice next time.â
The white rice absorbed the meat and oil of the sausage, and it swelled up in the casserole, causing everyone in the camp to stretch their necks and look at them.
Rice, the most common before the doomsday, had become something that could be met but not sought.
There was not a team there that had the strength like theirs. They could go deep into the towns with many demons and search for food that had not yet been corrupted.
Ye Peitian raised his hand slightly and raised another earthen stove on the ground casually. He took the dried goods such as scallops and mushroom vermicelli soaked by Granny Feng, and stewed a large pot of soup in a crock pot.
Chu Qianxun squatted beside him to help, watching the pot of thick soup tumbling with various ingredients, and couldnât help licking her lips.
âAre you hungry?â Ye Peitian turned his face, took out a small ball wrapped in golden tin foil from his pocket, and quietly handed it to her, âEat this first.â
Chu Qianxun peeled off the tin foil and found that there was a small piece of chocolate that had melted and deformed and then solidified again.
âSister Yan, would you like chocolate?â She asked Gao Yan, who was preparing the tableware not far from her.
Ye Peitian became nervous for a while.
Gao Yan rolled her eyes at Chu Qianxun, stood up and moved away from them.
âSister Yan, whatâs with that expression?â Chu Qianxun inexplicably stuffed the little ball of chocolate into her mouth.
When the sweet and rich taste melted, she found that Ye Peitian was avoiding looking at her eyes.
There was a warm stream in her mouth, and when she noticed it, it had already slipped down her throat quickly.
A familiar feeling rose in Chu Qianxunâs body.
It was a crystal core.
She raised her head in surprise and looked at Ye Peitian.
Ye Peitian mixed the third-order crystal core into the chocolate and let her eat it.
âYou⦠donât be angry.â Ye Peitian was a little flustered, and even hurriedly began to explain, âI think you should upgrade first, so that when the rest of us upgrade, we can be safe with your help.â
Chu Qianxun looked at Ye Peitian and suddenly realized that her heart had missed a beat.
Ye Peitian might not have realized how precious a high-level crystal core was in the end.
Whether it was friends, relatives, or even couples, few people would hand over the crystal core that suited them to upgrade.
No matter how close they were, they would not be as reliable as they were in the past. No matter how powerful others were, it was important to improve their own strength. This was the consensus of almost all people who survived to the late doomsday.
The clams wrapped in tin foil retained the original flavor so fresh that they could almost swallow their tongues.
Sausages were boiled with mellow grease, and the layers were penetrated into the crystal clear rice, each bite could make people get the greatest satisfaction.
Eating delicious clams, savory sausage cooked rice, and drinking hot scallop vermicelli and mushroom soup, everyone was immersed in the happiness of tasting delicious food.
Especially when everyone in the camp looked over with envy, the dinner was even more enjoyable.
Only Chu Qianxun finished the sumptuous dinner in a state of ignorance.
