In this predicament, some people began to try to find new sources of food. They set their sights on those mutant snakes. These once terrifying creatures have now become potential lifesavers.

Some brave people began to approach the mutant snake cautiously. Using various tools and with great effort, they finally peeled off the snake skin and removed the meat. Then, they washed and cooked the meat and tried a bite with trepidation.

Surprisingly, the mutant snake meat tasted quite good. While it was different from the meat they normally ate, people, driven by hunger, didn't care. More importantly, those who ate the snake meat showed no signs of poisoning.

The news spread quickly throughout the base, and for a time, the entire base was filled with the smell of boiled snake meat. People followed suit and began to hunt mutant snakes on a large scale, using them as a new food source.

Xiao Yi watched this scene with both relief and worry. He was relieved that people had finally found a new source of food, which could temporarily alleviate the plight of hunger; but he was also worried about the safety of this food. After all, these snakes were mutants, and who knew if they were carrying unknown viruses or parasites.

Xiao Yi decided to study these mutant snakes himself. He collected some snake meat samples and conducted detailed tests and analyses. After some effort, he found that although these snake meats were different from ordinary snake meat, they were not fatally poisonous. However, for safety reasons, he still recommended that people not rely on this food for a long time, and instead seek more stable and safer food sources as soon as possible.

At Xiao Yi's suggestion, the base began to continue growing luminous mushrooms and exploring other possible food substitutes. At the same time, they also strengthened the research and prevention of mutant animals to ensure people's safety.

Although the food problem at the base has not been fundamentally solved, people have seen hope and believe that with everyone's joint efforts, they will be able to overcome this difficulty and rebuild their beautiful home.

As time went on, the food problem at the base was alleviated to some extent, but new problems also arose. The number of mutant snakes that once filled the stomach gradually decreased, and the people began to face a new food crisis.

Driven by hunger, people became increasingly crazy and reckless. They began to search for other mutant animals, whether they were strange-looking insects or ferocious and brutal beasts, as long as they could become food, they were willing to try.

A strange and desperate atmosphere permeated the base. People no longer cared whether these mutant animals were poisonous or whether they posed a threat to humanity. Their only concern was the desire for food and their determination to survive.

Xiao Yi watched all this, his heart filled with worry and helplessness. He knew that this crazy behavior would not only bring potential harm to people's health, but also throw the order of the base into chaos. He tried to dissuade people and told them to act with caution, but hunger had already made people lose their minds, and his voice was quickly drowned out by the noise.

Xiao Yi knew that he had to take action to stop this crazy behavior from continuing. He began to organize manpower to strengthen the monitoring and research of mutant animals, and at the same time look for safer and more reliable food sources.

He led his team deep into every corner of the underground city, searching for possible food reserves and new planting areas. They discovered some forgotten warehouses that contained some old food and seeds. Although the quantity was limited, it could at least provide people with food for a while.

At the same time, Xiao Yi also encourages people to continue growing luminous mushrooms and try to cultivate other edible plants. He believes that only through their own efforts can they find a real solution to the food problem.

Under Xiao Yi's leadership, order gradually returned to the base. Although the food problem had not been completely solved, people at least no longer blindly took risks in search of mutant animals for food. They began to believe that as long as they united as one and worked together, they would be able to overcome the current difficulties.

Xiao Yi was hiding in his room at the moment, quietly enjoying the food from his private space. The windows of the room were tightly covered by heavy curtains, and no light could penetrate, creating an atmosphere of isolation from the world.

He carefully opened the space and pulled out some carefully stored food. He had painstakingly gathered this food before the scarcity of supplies, and every bite seemed especially precious. He knew that in this chaotic and famine-stricken era, possessing this food offered an indescribable sense of security.

While eating these delicious foods, Xiao Yi's brows were furrowed. He was not enjoying the food, but thinking about how to survive in this dangerous world. He knew that he could not hide like this forever, and he had to find a longer-term and more stable way to survive.

As he ate, he observed the movements outside, his ears occasionally filled with the clamor of the base. The roars of the mutant animals, the shouts of the people, and the occasional gunshots all made his heart palpitate. He knew that this base was no longer the safe and harmonious place it once was, but a world filled with danger and uncertainty.

After finishing his meal, Xiao Yi began to sort out his thoughts. He understood that in order to survive in this world, he had to be more cautious and careful. He began to plan his actions, thinking about how to find more food sources and how to protect himself and those around him.

He knew that this road was not easy, but he also believed that as long as he had enough courage and wisdom, he would be able to find a way out. He took a deep breath, put the remaining food back into the space, and walked out of the room.
