greedy.

So greedy.

Suspicious liquid flowed from the corner of Chu Xuan's mouth. She stared at the fragrant pot without noticing, wishing she could poke a hole in it.

Chu Qi was on the second day of her journey, and she wasn't craving for meat. But she was very hungry, as her last meal seemed to be two days ago.

I still have half a potato left, but I can’t bear to eat it.

She opened the lid of the pot, scooped out a bowl of snake meat and potatoes, and handed it to Chu Xuan: "Eat it."

"Hmm!" Chu Xuan immediately took a piece of meat, blew on it a few times quickly, and then put it into her mouth to chew.

There was not much salt left at home, so Chu Qi only put a little.

It was this, combined with the original fragrance of the snake meat, that made Chu Xuan want to swallow her tongue. Her eyes sparkled, "It's delicious!"

Chu Qi also served herself a bowl, then gently stroked the pots and pans with her fingers, and in an instant all the things in front of her were put into the space.

On the flat ground, only the firewood and the boiling water pot were still crackling.

If the space could collect fire, she would even want to collect some carbon to make fire, because it was too troublesome to use flint to make fire...

Today, it took her ten minutes to light the fire.

A meter-long snake can be shared by two people. If you eat it sparingly and pair it with potatoes, it can last for three meals.

The space has its own fresh-keeping function. Although it cannot keep food fresh for ten days or half a month, it is safe to leave it for two days without spoiling.

So Chu Qi planned to put it away and save it for the next day.

The human body has long adapted to being full of energy even after going hungry for nine meals in three days. Eating one meal a day is simply an unexpected gift to the body.

In the end times, a scavenger's life's luck will be used up just to fill his stomach and stay alive.

Chu Qi finished eating the snake meat and potatoes and drank the soup. Chu Xuan, who was sitting opposite her, licked the bottom of the bowl clean.

Chu Qi was silent. She thought she could save money by drinking all the soup.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Qi licked the bottom of the bowl clean and then placed the bowl next to the pot.

The water was boiling, and Chu Xuan used a few leaves to take the pot down and put it aside.

Food, water, shelter, Chu Qi temporarily has everything he needs to survive in the apocalypse.

In order to allow the food to digest more slowly, Chu Qi lay on the ground to rest after eating.

Resting her head on her arms, she thought about the future.

In this apocalypse where natural disasters abound and humanity is annihilated, living is difficult. Completing missions and changing the impression of the original owner in Chu Xuan's mind are secondary.

Chu Qi felt that if she could successfully help Chu Xuan survive the apocalypse, the mission would naturally be successful.

It got dark quickly.

In order to sleep peacefully at night and avoid being attacked by wild beasts, those who are able to make a fire will keep the fire burning all night long.

Those who are unable to make a fire will hide themselves as much as possible to avoid being discovered by wild animals.

The smell and movement may attract the attention of wild animals, so at night, scavengers will deliberately smear another layer of mud on their bodies, and then sleep quietly and wait for dawn.

Living in the slums, even if you have space, supplies are limited. If you want to live a secure life, entering the rich area seems to be the only way.

With a sigh, Chu Qi became confused about the future.

"Brother, what are you thinking about? Why are you sighing for no reason?" Chu Xuan has nothing to worry about as long as she has enough food and drink. In her opinion, being able to eat enough is the greatest happiness.

Therefore, she also rested her head next to Chu Qi, thinking about the snake stewed with potatoes that Chu Qi had put into the space...

Slurp, it’s delicious, hehe.

Chu Xuan's mouth was drooling again, and she wiped it off nonchalantly. She turned sideways and stared at her brother's bearded profile.

"I was thinking..." Chu Qi glanced at her, saw her silly look, and then lost the desire to speak.

Chu Xuan lost her voice in the middle of her words and asked anxiously, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, take a nap and get enough rest. You may be busy these few days." Chu Qi conjured up a pair of tattered clothes and covered Chu Xuan with the clothes with a look of caring for a fool in his eyes.

Chu Xuan spread out the clothes and lifted the other half to cover Chu Qi: "Are you missing your parents? ... I miss my parents too. I wonder where they died? Let's go collect their bodies and bury them."

Chu Qi didn't say anything. Collect the bodies and bury them?

I’m afraid that it was eaten by animals shortly after death, so where can I find the corpse?

After Chu Xuan finished speaking, she knew in her heart that she was daydreaming. After all, she grew up in the apocalypse, and her whole family had experienced a lot just to survive. No matter how well she was protected, she was aware of the horror of the apocalypse.

She was thirteen years old, but due to malnutrition her body was developing very slowly, like a ten-year-old child.

The little girl sighed sadly, turned over and hugged one of her brother's arms, her head resting tightly on her brother's shoulder. The little girl closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

The firewood crackled, Chu Qi looked at the roof, always paying attention to the movements around him.

On such a dangerous night with walls that could collapse at a push, how could Chu Qi dare to sleep with them?

She planned to guard the first half of the night while Chu Xuan would guard the second half.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Chu Qi felt drowsy, so she forced herself to wake up.

A gap was specially left above the roof to observe the position of the moon and tell time. When the moon was halfway up in the sky, the temperature slowly dropped and late night arrived.

Chu Qi sat up, covered Chu Xuan with all her clothes, stood up and walked a few steps to relieve her stiff legs and feet.

The water poured in the first half of the night had cooled down, so Chu Qi poured in some hot water, mixed it with warm water, and drank it.

After the warm water went down her throat, her slightly dry lips and thirsty mouth were moistened, and she breathed a sigh of relief silently.

Chu Xuan slept like a pig. The heat source beside her disappeared. She twisted her body and unconsciously moved closer to the fire.

Chu Qi stretched out her foot to block her, fearing that she would rub herself into the fire.

With the barrier in place, Chu Xuan calmed down, lay quietly and fell into a deep sleep.

Chu Qi sat next to Chu Xuan.

She is struggling with a problem---

That is, whether to use points and the system for help.

Each time you ask the system a question, it costs ten points, and you can get a 100% detailed answer from the system.

She now has forty points.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Chu Qi decided to communicate with the system in the mission world.

There is no danger to life in other worlds.

Here, you can die at any time.

Chu Qi only has the power produced by the system, so it may be difficult for him to protect Chu Xuan.

After much thought, she finally decided to use points.

The questions were limited, and she got straight to the point:

[System, do you have any special abilities for sale? ]

[Ding, ten points have been consumed. System customer service is at your service]

[The system mall sells five kinds of supernatural powers: wood, water, fire, and earth. Since the host does not have enough points, we recommend that you buy supernatural fluid. Using the supernatural fluid, a random supernatural power will appear in your body within 30 days. Now you only need 30 points to buy it.]

30 points....

It just happens to be all her points?

Points are hard to earn, but they are spent like water...
