Zhao Xiaoxiu shook her head. "It hasn't been tested, but it's edible and delicious." She emphasized this point.

Mo Shigui's heart skipped a beat. He held the half of the charcoal ball that the little guy handed him to his nose and smelled it. It smelled like roasted sweet potato, which was very deceptive.

He glanced at Zhao Xiaoxiu, who seemed very confident, and quickly went back to the passenger seat to retrieve the testing equipment to conduct the test.

The light is green, indicating the food is safe to eat and the virus content is no more than 0.3%.

As long as the viral load is below 1%, it is safe for ordinary people to consume.

Mo Shigui glanced back at the mutated roots that Aji, Zhao Gang, and the others had pulled out one after another, and laughed.

Seeing his expression, Zhao Xiaoxiu knew that it was impossible for her to monopolize these mutated roots.

Of course, she doesn't mind others eating with her.

But you can exchange food for points!

Zhao Xiaoxiu said in a consultative tone, "Uncle Mo, my dad and the others killed a lot of mutated animals. I'll give you all the edible parts, and you can give me points as a reward, okay?"

Having already tasted the mutated root and been captivated by its exquisite flavor, Mo Shigui was stunned for a moment before realizing that the young girl in front of him was negotiating with him.

Seeing him looking over, Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly added, "Not all mutated roots and stems are edible."

Finding examples more intuitive, Zhao Xiaoxiu jumped off the truck bed like a monkey and pushed over two plant roots that had been burned into charcoal balls.

Pointing to two identical-looking charcoal balls, she said, "The one on the left is edible, but the one on the right isn't. However, I can take out the edible parts so that nothing is wasted."

After saying that, he pointed his little finger at the testing device in Mo Shigui's hand, indicating that he could test it immediately if he didn't believe it.

Mo Shigui recalled the Golden Autumn Pear he had bought from the father and daughter. With some doubt, he took out his short knife and broke open the two charcoal balls. He then used a testing device to check whether the two white-core-looking rootstocks were actually different.

The test results show that the green light on the left is safe.

The pale yellow light on the right has mutated to Grade B and is no longer edible.

Zhao Xiaoxiu: "Uncle Mo, may I borrow your knife?"

Mo Shigui raised an eyebrow slightly, "Are you sure you can hold it steady?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded, reached out, and steadily took the short knife. She casually sliced ​​off a palm-sized piece from the B-grade mutated root and handed it to Mo Shigui.

Mo Shigui underwent another test, and the green light came on, indicating it was safe to eat!

“We can take two more pieces.” Zhao Xiaoxiu glanced at him, and seeing him nod, she took down the remaining two edible root pieces and handed them to Mo Shigui for testing.

Actually, there was no need for further testing; Mo Shigui knew that the two pieces she handed over were definitely edible.

Because the remaining B-grade mutated parts all tasted different from the ones in my hand; they didn't have a sweet aroma, and there was a raw, astringent smell constantly wafting over.

"How did you do that?" Mo Shigui asked curiously.

Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't speak, she just looked at him.

Mo Shigui narrowed his eyes slightly, but there was nothing to hesitate about. Zhao Xiaoxiu's ability to collect food, whether it was a superpower or something else, was only beneficial to them.

Normal food is not so easy to obtain, even in the army.

Because just dealing with mutated plants and animals and selecting categories that suit human tastes requires a lot of effort.

Now that someone who can directly identify and select food is willing to take on this trouble, it would be absolutely stupid not to agree to her request.

But glancing at Zhao Xiaoxiu's small frame, which barely reached his thigh, Mo Shigui wondered:

"Although we have our soldiers here, there will also be mutated plants and animals that have escaped. Can you handle them? Most importantly, how much edible food can you, a little guy, possibly collect?"

"I don't want to pay for something and only get a little reward."

Mo Shigui specifically reminded everyone: "All soldiers have missions, but no one will help you."

Upon hearing this, Mo Shigui suddenly realized how ridiculous it was that he had even considered cooperating with her.

He waved his hand, placing all the root vegetables in front of her, "Keep these for yourself; let's forget about cooperation..."

Mo Shigui reached out to take back his dagger, but Zhao Xiaoxiu dodged backward and said firmly:

"Just lend me a small hoverboard and this knife!"

"...Wait here, I'll go get it for you."

Mo Shigui quickly dragged the hoverboard over. Before leaving, he didn't forget to take a large piece of the root tuber that he had just prepared to send out. While eating, he picked up the megaphone to supervise the soldiers digging the pit.

Zhao Xiaoxiu looked at the rope in her hand, and following the rope upwards, she could see a silver metal plate floating in mid-air.

The board is about one meter long and sixty centimeters wide, and a plastic basket is placed on it to hold the goods.

Zhao Xiaoxiu tugged on the rope, and the suspension board moved forward accordingly.

She climbed up the large stone pier by pulling herself up with a rope, and the height of the suspension board increased accordingly.

She then jumped down, pulled by the rope. The suspension board, guided by the rope, followed her closely, maintaining a height of about forty centimeters off the ground.

This height is very convenient for a three-year-old child.

Zhao Xiaoxiu stared at the hoverboard with bright eyes. This small hoverboard could carry a weight of 1,000 kilograms. It was simply a great tool for transporting human infants.

Zhao Xiaoxiu happily held the hoverboard, took Mo Shigui's short knife, and began to wander around the trench.

Those mutated and bizarre animals, as long as they still have a piece of edible flesh on their bodies, cannot escape her eyes.

The root-like mutated plants that the soldiers had thrown away and piled up in the grass emitted a bright green light that almost blinded her.

Holding a knife, Zhao Xiaoxiu climbed up and down among the piles of mutated plants that had lost all their aggressiveness, each time managing to take a bunch of starchy root tubers or lush green leaves.

The small suspension board was more than half full in no time.

The aromas of various fresh edible ingredients come together to create an enticing flavor.

Zhao Xiaoxiu wasn't about to let her stomach suffer. She picked up a handful of sweet and sour tender leaves, put them in her mouth, and chewed as she worked.

When she encounters large mutant animals, it's no problem for her at all.

The tiny human cub possessed astonishing strength. She was neither afraid of getting dirty nor tired, dragging away everything she could, and cutting off anything she couldn't.

The metal plate floating behind her was like an obedient puppy, following its owner wherever it went.

The sky gradually brightened.

On the open ground next to the 528 convoy trucks, a huge plastic tarpaulin was laid out, covered with small hills of meat chunks and tender leaf and root chunks, arranged by type.

Mo Shigui would come over whenever he had a spare moment to take a look, his mouth practically agape with a grin.

The team members who came down from their shift to rest were both surprised and delighted to see these ingredients.

Only then did they realize that there was a small figure dragging a hovercraft back and forth on the trench.

"Kosode, over here!"

The soldier who caught the mutated snake quickly waved to the child, and when she looked over, he threw the dead snake at her.

Zhao Xiaoxiu watched helplessly as a brightly colored mutated snake hurtled towards her, and her scalp tingled instantly.

She really will thank me!
