Chapter 91 What are those? Those look like people, living people!
A full basin, with all the marrow from the four beef bones displayed, left both Lu Xuan and the audience wanting more, licking their lips from time to time in savoring the taste.
This is life! It's so wonderful!
Many viewers urged Lu Xuan to cook another pot.
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Lu Xuan leaned back lazily in the recliner, half-asleep, and said, "Good things can't be eaten in one go. We've already got the meat, so there will be plenty of opportunities to enjoy it later. I'm sleepy, so I'll take a nap first, and then get up in the evening to continue searching for supplies."
He ended the broadcast after saying that.
...
When he resumed broadcasting, it was already two hours later.
As soon as I opened the live stream, I was unsurprisingly greeted with a barrage of critical and complaining comments.
Lu Xuan stretched and loosened his limbs, then took out a bucket of milk and said, "You're bothering my eyes. Be good, and I'll make you some delicious milk."
After eating steak and bone marrow, the audience, who had almost forgotten the horror of raw milk, fell silent instantly.
I don't really want to drink it.
They actually drank normal milk in other dimension live streams as well.
Pure milk, sweetened milk, and yogurt are all popular, but the taste of raw milk is so terrible that people can't even remember its rich and delicious flavor.
Until Lu Xuan brewed a large pot of milk tea with tea leaves and sugar, the air was filled with the aroma of tea and sweet milk.
Viewers who were inwardly resistant: ...Yes, it smells somewhat nice.
Glug.
The audience unconsciously swallowed.
Lu Xuan poured the brewed milk tea into cups: one large cup of hot milk tea and one cup of iced milk tea that had been quickly cooled down using his ice-type superpower.
When the audience came to their senses, their mouths were already filled with the aroma of milk tea.
Audience: It smells so good!!!
This is so delicious!!!
The pure, natural milk, without any added water, has an extremely rich flavor. The addition of tea leaves effectively neutralizes the milk's characteristic milky smell and adds a unique flavor, leaving a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth after each sip.
I chug down the two cups of milk tea, which totaled two liters, and even my burps tasted like milk.
Afterwards, Lu Xuan also tried making fruit milk.
Add jams like apple jam, orange jam, and peach jam to the hot milk, and the audience gets hooked again.
Lu Xuan said, "The yogurt tastes good too. I remember the mall sells yogurt makers. I'll ferment some with the yogurt maker and let you try it later."
Yogurt with different fruit pieces added directly to it has a different flavor.
Lu Xuan didn't actually like drinking these milky, sweet drinks before.
It wasn't until the end of the world arrived and there was nothing left to drink that I suddenly realized how wonderful it is to 'have' something.

After finishing his milk, Lu Xuan took out the drone again and launched it.
Having secured the most important beef, Lu Xuan now prepared to work on obtaining more honey.
Because there was no specific location this time, the drones flew very freely.
While Lu Xuan was engrossed in checking the daily discounts, he inadvertently flew in the opposite direction from the deep mountains, and it looked like he was about to run towards the outer edge.
After some viewers noticed, they quickly threw gifts to remind Lu Xuan.
The latter heard the gift effect notification sound, looked up at the barrage, turned his head to look at the remote control screen, and was about to adjust the direction back when he saw a small black moving creature suddenly appear on the screen.
The audience noticed this as well, and many people expressed their surprise and doubt.
What is that? A herd of animals?
[It's a bit hard to see clearly; the leaves are blocking the view. But they don't look like there are many of them. That's not grassland, so it's definitely not a herd of bison.]
[I don't really think it looks like an animal, it seems more like...]
Before the audience could get a clearer view, the drone suddenly turned back, and the scene on the screen changed to the mountains and forests on the other side, and the unidentified group from before was no longer visible.
[Hey, why did the streamer turn the drone around? Zoom in and take a closer look!]
[I just saw it! Those look like people, living people! Announcer, quickly send the drone back!]
Lu Xuan didn't take it seriously: "Who are you? Who else is in the mountains besides us? You must have mistaken us."
"Don't you all like milk? I only milked a few buckets this time. They'll be gone after a few more drinks. Even if I milk every day these days, I won't get much."
"Since we're already planning to raise bees, why don't we just take those lactating cows back with us and raise them too? That way we can have milk every day. But... living things die as soon as they're put in the space. What do you think we should do to get them back alive?"
As soon as this question came up, most of the audience's attention was indeed diverted, and they started offering him suggestions all at once.
As Lu Xuan listened, he recalled the scene that had just been displayed on the screen, and silently curled the corners of his lips.

In the mountains and forests dozens of miles away from the activity area of Yunlu Village.
A group of ragged, haggard disaster victims, their bodies covered with rags, struggled along a mountain path overgrown with weeds. The scorching heat overhead and the hunger in their stomachs left them with almost no strength to speak.
The only woman walking in the middle, her hair disheveled and her features obscured, couldn't help but complain to her husband, who was carrying their son, in a hoarse voice, despite being exhausted and panting heavily.
"Why didn't your brother try to persuade us more back then? If he had forcibly taken us away, we might not have suffered like this."
“Everyone in their village prepared plenty of food in advance, and they’re probably enjoying a good meal somewhere now. Unlike us, we haven’t had a proper meal in days.” As he spoke, he tugged at the bulging bundle on his back, which contained all of his family’s possessions.
Although the bundle looked full, it was mostly filled with clothes, dishes and other miscellaneous items. Food made up only a small part, and it was dug out of the houses that were buried after the earthquake.
Their own grain fell into the pit after the earthquake and could not be found.
Now, more than half a month has passed since the major earthquake, and less than 20% of the food remains.
This was after they had been extremely frugal, picking all the food they could find along the way to fill their stomachs.
If they don't find a way to get more food, they'll starve to death sooner or later.
The more intense the situation, the deeper her resentment towards her brother-in-law and his wife, with whom she had a terrible relationship, and at the same time, a deep sense of regret was also buried deep in her heart.
If we had listened to my brother-in-law's advice, we could have not only stored water in advance, but also saved our family's food.
Even if they can't keep it, they can give half of the grain stored by their brother-in-law's family to them, and then find a shady cave to hide in. Their lives won't be too bad.
Why bother spending so much effort traveling every day to find food and water?
"So what if they stockpiled grain in advance?"
The man carrying his son spoke in a hoarse voice, tinged with malice, "How could anyone easily escape such a massive earthquake? We survived because we were lucky, but they might not have survived; they might have already died in the earthquake."
The man said bitterly, "It's a pity that the grain ended up benefiting whoever it was. If he had truly wanted what was best for us, he should have left the grain behind even if he couldn't persuade us otherwise! I think he was just saying it; he probably wished we would die in the earthquake!"
Just as the woman was about to say something more, her son, who was on her husband's back, mumbled, "Mother... water..."
She immediately stopped complaining and carefully held the water bottle to her son's lips so he could take a sip. When her son wanted to drink more, she quickly took the water bottle away.
The already small water bottle was almost completely empty, with only a thin layer left at the bottom. The water inside was from a nearly dried-up stream they found along the way.
We don't know how long it will take to find other water sources, so we must conserve the remaining water as much as possible.
If they still can't find water by tomorrow, she and her husband might be able to hold on, but her son is likely to be in trouble.
Even if they don't die of thirst, they'll succumb to the heat and stop breathing, just like the others who collapsed on the road.
She only has one precious son, and he is her lifeblood. She simply cannot imagine how she would live if something happened to him.
The woman no longer cared about the life or death of her brother-in-law's family; she only sincerely hoped that God would have pity on them and let them find a way to survive.
...
Giant Wood Square.
A few little chicks stood outside the chicken coop fence, clucking and tossing bean curd residue to the pheasants inside.
While feeding Lu Chen, Zhang Xiaofu asked, "Chenchen, I heard from my dad that your brother went to get beef? Is the beef delicious?"
Lu Chen shook his head. "I've never eaten it before, so I don't know. But since my brother went out of his way to get it, it must be delicious."
"I've eaten it!" Xiong Dabao, who had been clinging to Lu Chen ever since he got back from being lost, said proudly, "My dad bought me beef before, and it was so delicious! Much better than pork!"
"Really?" Li Kangbao slurped his saliva. "I want to eat it too."
Zhang Dafu was the oldest among them and had a relatively stable personality, but he couldn't help but reveal a hint of longing at this moment.
The group of kids imagined for a while how delicious the beef must be, and then, thinking that Lu Xuan would bring back beef, they couldn't help but look at Lu Chen.
Lu Chen blinked, took out a handful of pork jerky from his spatial ring, and handed it to them. "There's no beef right now, so make do with this for now."
He didn't say that he would share the beef with his brother when he came back. The supplies that his brother had worked so hard to get belonged to him, and he couldn't let his brother have them... That's what he said, right?
In short, he cannot simply distribute meat to others on behalf of his brother.
Unless his older brother makes beef into a snack that looks like pork jerky and shares it with him, he might share his share with his younger brothers.
Hmm, if the beef is really that delicious, then give away only a small portion, just a tiny bit.

On the other side, Lu Qing was making pickled vegetables with several women she had invited to help.
Before Lu Xuan left, he cultivated a large amount of vegetables, of which the non-mutated ones weighed nearly a thousand kilograms.
Lu Qing put away the leafy greens to stir-fry and eat normally, but she set aside the radishes and garlic to make pickled radishes and sweet garlic.
Both dishes have variants, but the shredded radish and the fruit radish are not suitable for pickling; the pickled radish uses regular radish.
I made both regular garlic and mutant garlic, but I used different jars to package the two types.
The group of women worked efficiently, but they didn't neglect their conversation.
