The older sisters are impressive; they ate all their meals at the restaurant.

Cheng Zhi couldn't take it anymore, so she took the plate back to her room. She ran all the way with the food in her arms, afraid that if she stayed in this area for too long, the food would pick up the smell.

After running into the room and closing the door, Cheng Zhi finally dared to breathe deeply.

Although Xiao Feiran wasn't as disgusted as Cheng Zhi, she still felt her appetite was suppressed. She put the food on the table and said, "I can't take it anymore, I need to calm down."

Cheng Zhi did the same. She put the plate down and started complaining, "How could it be so fishy? Did they not put in any scallions, ginger, or garlic?"

"Maybe it's because there wasn't any." Xiao Feiran thought for a moment, but still felt something was off. "Did you notice that there seemed to be another smell mixed in with that fishy smell just now?"

Cheng Zhi thought back for a moment, and it seemed that she really couldn't smell it, or it might be because she had blocked her nose too tightly.

Xiao Feiran said uncertainly, "I also smell a rotten smell, but those fish were only thrown up last night, and the weather isn't hot, how could they have gone bad so quickly?"

Cheng Zhi sat on the bed, staring blankly outside. Suddenly, she remembered what Xiao Zhi had said before, "Didn't Xiao Zhi say that the human population has decreased significantly? Maybe many other creatures have also died. The reason this fish smells so bad is probably because it died a long time ago?"

This made things even more terrifying.

Xiao Feiran's face immediately fell. "Eating contaminated fish is one thing, but eating contaminated dead fish is another. Aren't they afraid of getting sick?"

Although it wasn't nice to say that about others, Cheng Zhi still felt that they definitely had a big problem.

Cheng Zhi sighed, "There are some people you can't persuade. Whether they should eat it or not, they've already eaten it. Let's remind our own people not to eat it."

They couldn't eat for the time being, so they immediately set off to remind everyone.

First, they went to the three-person room on the same floor to find Cheng Ye. After entering the room, Cheng Zhi and Cheng Ye told the three boys what they had been thinking.

Fearing their curiosity, Xiao Feiran repeatedly emphasized, "Don't eat it, absolutely don't eat it, you might die if you eat it."

Cheng Ye found it amusing to see her two older sisters so nervous. "Sis, we're not stupid. That stuff stinks horribly. We'd faint if we got too close. How could we possibly eat it?"

Qi Yanche, who was petting the dog, nodded. "I don't like seafood. I don't even like fresh seafood, let alone rotten seafood."

Chen Yiyi, who was behind, also said, "Don't worry, we still value our lives."

Seeing how determined they were, Cheng Zhi felt relieved.

She added, "How much of the food you managed to grab last time is left?"

Qi Yanche thought for a moment and replied, "We also have two boxes of canned beef, a box of self-heating rice, and a big bag of random snacks."

Cheng Zhi nodded. "Starting tomorrow, let's not go to restaurants. Let's eat our own food first. After all, we don't know what will happen to them if they get sick or infected."

After saying these things, Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran went upstairs to find their parents and repeated what had just happened.

Cheng's father reassured them, "Your mother and I didn't eat at the restaurant for lunch today; the smell there was very unsafe."

Hearing that the two children had taken the food back to their room, Cheng's mother immediately told them to throw it out. "You two are really carefree! We haven't even been to the kitchen. What if these two restaurants share the same kitchen? You should throw it away right now."

Cheng's mother's words instantly frightened Cheng Zhi and the others.

Xiao Feiran immediately started praying on the spot, "Please, it has to be two kitchens, otherwise Zheng Wan and the others are doomed."

After they got back, they listened to advice and threw away the food.

The tomato and egg noodles, which were originally planned to be cooked in the evening, were put on the agenda in the afternoon.

Xiao Feiran was cooking, and Cheng Zhi sat obediently at the dining table waiting, while also chatting with Xiao Zhi.

"Xiao Zhi, you said last time that there are only 200 million humans left. If there are so few humans left, are there not many other species left either?"

Xiao Zhi, whose food was served by Cheng Zhi, turned around and said, “Yes, Master, many terrestrial plants and animals have become extinct. Now only a small number of aquatic plants and animals, as well as amphibians, remain in the world. And half of these animals have mutated.”

When Cheng Zhi heard about the mutation, she wasn't surprised, since the moth had already mutated last time.

She then asked, "Are these things still edible?"

Xiao Zhi replied, "You can eat them, but it's not recommended. They live in polluted water sources and consume large amounts of harmful substances and rotten flesh, which not only lacks nutrition but also harms human health."

Cheng Zhi nodded. She had asked all the questions she wanted to ask, so she let Xiao Zhi go play by himself.

Xiao Feiran had just finished cooking the noodles, and she even thoughtfully brought over the chili sauce.

The fresh and sweet aroma immediately filled Cheng Zhi's nostrils, and she felt healed. "It's no exaggeration to say that after smelling rotten fish and shrimp all day, this aroma simply saved my sense of smell."

Xiao Feiran picked up a little chili sauce and put it in her own bowl. "Stop praising me, just eat it."

Halfway through their meal, Huang Yiyi and Chen Siyu suddenly walked in.

Seeing them eating, Huang Yiyi immediately sidled up to them, saying, "You're eating all by yourself! You didn't even invite us!"

Cheng Zhi swallowed the mouthful of noodles in her mouth and said, "We didn't eat lunch, this is our lunch."
