Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 461: Hidden Worries Evolution

Bi Qiaoan didn't know all this. She called the big goose's bowl over and put some food in it. Just like that, the big goose surrendered and ate with a smile on its face.

The man and the goose interacted for a while before Shen Yanming came out of the kitchen.

Bi Qiaoan saw him take off his apron and asked, "Are you done?"

Shen Yanming shook his head, "I'm tired, let's take a break! By the way, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

"Noon?" Bi Qiaoan smiled strangely, then pointed at the clock on the wall, "It's already 2:30 in the afternoon!"

Shen Yanming was stunned. Has it been so long? It seems that he was so absorbed in cooking that he forgot the passage of time.

He didn't dwell on this question, he asked: "Are you hungry? Why didn't you remind me?"

Bi Qiaoan shook his head. "I had spring rolls and sesame balls as a cushion, and then I ate grapes. I can't eat anymore."

Shen Yanming did not insist, and used his consciousness to fetch a bowl of wontons from the storage area and ate it, and then asked: "So what do you want to eat tonight?"

Bi Qiaoan shook his head and laughed, "We're already thinking about dinner after just finishing lunch. Aren't we too greedy?"

"No, I still have to stock up on food this afternoon. I'll make whatever you want to eat."

Bi Qiaoan thought for a moment and said, "Then I want to eat lamb skewers and durian pizza."

Shen Yanming nodded, "Then I won't cook in the afternoon, I'll make some barbecue, and then bake you some pizzas of various flavors."

Bi Qiaoan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, I also want to eat egg tarts with yellow peaches and mangoes in them."

"Okay, I'll satisfy you."

The goose heard about the delicious food and quacked twice, as if to say, "Master, don't forget me!"

Shen Yanming smiled and promised, "Don't worry, there's a share for you."

So, throughout the afternoon, Shen Yanming went into the kitchen to put a few pizzas in the oven, and then ran outside the villa to flip the skewers on the grill.

Bi Qiaoan sat on the Bird's Nest hanging chair and watched the fun with a smile on her face. After the skewers were grilled, she could have the first bite.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a whole day of hard work, the empty shelf in the storage area was filled.

Not only that, Shen Yanming also placed two new shelves next to it, waiting to hold the various foods that would be prepared later.

The next morning, after Chen Yanming finished his morning training and returned to the dormitory, he woke up Bi Qiaoan.

He thought that the guards had arranged a rest room for him, so he couldn't just leave it there. But there was nothing on the bed, so he had to find a way to get the quilt and mattress out of the way.

In addition, the vegetables at home also need to be sourced. This weekend, I went back to Qingyu Community and just did these two things.

When Shen Yanming told Bi Qiaoan about his plan, she understood. She didn't hesitate, just washed her face and brushed her teeth, and set off.

The sun outside is really strong, and it feels burning painfully when it shines on my skin.

And recently, the sun rises earlier and earlier, and it gets dark later and later, and everything feels unusually bad.

It is normal for the days to be longer and the nights to be shorter in summer, but can you imagine that it gets light at four in the morning and dark at nine in the evening?

Isn't this just the opposite of what happened last winter?

This anomaly makes people wonder, has the Tropic of Cancer moved north again?

But no one answered.

Just like last year’s anomaly, there is still no explanation so far, it’s good for everyone to know that it happened.

There is no way. Without any precedent, scientists can only make guesses based on limited theories and data.

This requires a long process, and it is still unknown whether the final result is true or false.

Therefore, there is really no need to worry about these unusual things.

Bi Qiaoan felt a little irritated in the sunshine. She asked, "Do you feel that the sunshine is getting hotter and hotter?"

Chen Yanming nodded, "Indeed. We have early morning training at 6 o'clock every morning. It shouldn't be too late, but the temperature outside can reach 33 degrees, which is not much lower than at noon. This morning, several people fainted before the training was over."

"Are you tired or suffering from heat stroke?"

"It should be both. Many people don't eat when they get up early, so their blood sugar is low. Then there is such high-intensity exercise, plus the weather is hot, it would be abnormal if nothing unexpected happened." Shen Yanming said.

Bi Qiaoan looked at the man beside him in surprise, "Aren't you worried about them?"

Chen Yanming smiled, "The guard team has a doctor, so it's not my turn to worry. Besides, they should have assessed their physical condition before participating in the morning training. If they force themselves to participate even though they know it's not right, then if they faint and get heatstroke, it's all their own fault."

Bi Qiaoan nodded and didn't say anything more.

"But you should be mentally prepared. Maybe when you go to work next week, they will ask you to make some summer-heat-relief pills." Shen Yanming said.

Bi Qiaoan frowned, "If that's the case, it's better to boil some medicine in a big pot. This way everyone can get a few mouthfuls, and it can also play a preventive role."

Shen Yanming hummed and praised: "My wife is becoming more and more thoughtful, not bad."

After hearing this, Bi Qiaoan glared at him and said, "I just know myself. If it weren't for the two babies, I might not have taken over the pharmaceutical work. This thing is too much responsibility, and sometimes I feel I can't bear it."

As if knowing the worries in her heart, Shen Yanming held her hand tightly and comforted her: "It's okay, I'm here with you."

"Yeah, it's okay. But I probably won't be needed for the summer heat-relief soup. Those Chinese medicine practitioners should have a common prescription, and they can just prepare it according to it."

Shen Yanming chuckled, "That's not necessarily true."

Through this period of morning training, he discovered that something seemed to be accumulating in the sunlight, waiting for an opportunity to explode.

Therefore, he did not have much hope for traditional herbal medicine.

In fact, because of this unknown thing, he had no confidence in the prescriptions passed down by his ancestors.

However, he kept these worries to himself and didn't tell anyone.

Bi Qiaoan didn't argue after hearing what he said, but just said, "In fact, the decoction can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Have you ever considered moving the training time to the evening?"

Chen Yanming shook his head. "At night, there is only a gap between 10 and 12 o'clock. Logically, it is possible, but the guards are used to the previous schedule and may go to bed at 10 o'clock in the evening.

Moreover, Li Gangtie said that the climate of the end times is ever-changing. Although we should seek benefits and avoid harm, we cannot just avoid it. When we are not sure what tomorrow will be like, we should try our best to adapt to the changes.

Bi Qiaoan agreed with this statement, "Perhaps this kind of adaptation also means evolution."

Shen Yanming smiled after hearing this and nodded, "Yes, I think so too."
