The following noon, when Zhan Nan was having lunch.
Long Yehua and his group have finally returned.
Xiao Jing was even more excited and took his spoils to Leng Fantian's laboratory.
"Little Tiantian, look what I brought back for you."
Hearing the shout, Leng Fantian, who was conducting an experiment, was so startled that he almost dropped what he was holding.
Then, speechless, he looked at the person who came in and said, "Can't you keep your voice down? I'm really fed up with you, you old fool."
"Look at your guts. Look, this is what I brought back for you. I only encountered two like this on the way. They were really hard to catch, so I had to kill them and bring them back to you. Fortunately, they haven't been dead for long, so you can still be used."
Leng Fantian looked at the two corpses on the ground, never expecting to actually encounter them.
I must say, this demon is really hard to catch; it's much smarter than a human.
But something is better than nothing, and then he said with a smile, "I'll have Ah Zhan treat you to a big meal tonight as a reward."
"Hehe, then thank you for your hard work. We've really been eating nothing but bland food these past few days."
"You've worked hard, go and get some rest, we'll talk again tonight."
"Okay, then I won't worry about it, you guys go ahead with your work."
Xiao Jing dropped his things and went home to take a shower and go to bed.
I've been so exhausted from being away from home lately that I haven't even had a chance to walk around with my wife.
He won't go out for something like this again.
Zhan Siyu was also very happy to learn that his brother had returned.
After all, the risks outside are very high right now, so he'll feel at ease if he can come back safely.
Of course, Long Yehua did bring back quite a lot of things this time, mostly materials needed for the construction site. As for food, there was none.
After all, it's been so long since the apocalypse, there's something fishy about finding food.
Nan Xiangwan celebrated his brother's safe return by preparing a hot pot that everyone loved.
Of course, upon hearing the news of Long Yehua's return, Shen Zhiyi smiled, a rare occurrence for her.
She didn't know when it started, but she had fallen in love with that man.
Ever since that person left the base, she hasn't been able to sleep well, fearing that something might happen to him outside.
Fortunately, it ended without any serious harm.
Shen Xingzhou could see how his younger sister felt.
He was wondering to himself, "Could this person be one of those who just came back?"
I just don't know who my sister has taken a liking to, and it seems like it's just unrequited love.
As the older brother, he was determined to help his sister and get her.
Of course, Long Yehua is unaware that he has already been targeted by someone.
He and Shen Zhiyi didn't have much contact, and it was always for business, so he never imagined that a beautiful girl like her would like a straight guy like him.
Whether the two can end up together depends on how much effort Shen Xingzhou puts in.
After taking a lunch break, Nan Xiangwan went to the conference room early.
This has become a regular spot for our group meals.
I originally wanted to have barbecue, but the smell was really strong. With so many people in the base, it was a bit embarrassing to be smelled.
That's why I chose hot pot to avoid trouble.
Fortunately, the house has an air conditioner installed facing south.
Once the door is closed and the curtains are drawn, not a single smell can escape.
It's perfectly well hidden.
Of course, the people who cleaned the house were always his own people, and Mozi would always give them some good things, so no one would go around spreading rumors.
After all, the base is a small place, so any rumors can be quickly traced back to their source.
So they're not stupid; they won't go out of their way to court disaster.
Of course, Nan Xiangwan and his friends get special treatment; that's their skill.
He supports all the wives in the base, and no one dares to object unless they don't want to stay in the base anymore.
Looking at the table full of ingredients, Nan Xiangwan checked them to make sure everything was alright, and then started cooking.
It used to be a divided hot pot, but as more people joined, it became two pots.
Continue cooking until the sugar water in the pot is ready.
Nan Xiangwan picked up the walkie-talkie and asked his husband to call someone over for dinner.
As Ouyang Qian's family member, Ouyang Xuan has recently benefited quite a bit from this.
Although the food at the base was good, it wasn't as delicious as the food cooked separately.
Even Wang Hao always received special treatment from Nan Xiangwan.
After all, this child needs constant care; if we're not careful, he might turn to the dark side.
Fortunately, she is a sensible and grateful person.
Once everyone had arrived, Nan Xiangwan said, "Tonight we're celebrating. All of us brothers are here, and we also want to thank Ye Hua and Xiao Jing for their contributions to the base. Come on, let's do what we always do and have a good meal."
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for welcoming us back and washing away the dust of our journey."
"Alright, we're all family here, stop with the nonsense and let's eat."
After several rounds of adjustment, Ouyang Xuan and his sister became much more relaxed.
This time, it was a direct back-and-forth struggle for the meat.
Everyone was used to the lively gatherings where they would fight over food, and they felt that this was what family life was all about—noisy, bustling, and full of warmth.
Nan Haochen was eating while simultaneously trying to get food for his wife.
Since all these grown men are foodies, if you're even a second late, the pot will be emptied in no time.
At this moment, Zhan Siyu said, "Everyone should stay home for now. The facilities in the base are almost finished. Let's focus on whether we can grow food. The base's population consumes a lot of food every day. If this continues, our reserves will not be enough."
After hearing this, Ouyang Xuan put down his chopsticks and said, "Soil is a problem, and sunlight is another. After all, photosynthesis is very important; otherwise, even if the seeds sprout, they won't bear fruit."
"There was still some soil before you came. There were already Dapengs at the base before you arrived. Later, due to the harassment of the Zerg, I put everything into my space. Although I can still grow food in my space now, the land area is limited. If it's just the people of us, I'm not worried about not having enough to eat."
"But I definitely can't supply enough food for tens of thousands of people by myself," Zhan Siyu said worriedly.
Actually, his wife still had quite a lot of stock in her online space, but seeing her working so hard every day made him feel a little sorry for her, since all the money she earned was used to support others.
Anyway, if there were conditions for production outside, he definitely wouldn't want his wife to continue working so hard.
He then said to Leng Fantian, "You should research a drug that can quickly accelerate the growth of grain. After all, we only harvest a batch of grain every few months, which is just a drop in the ocean. As long as we can fill our stomachs, it doesn't matter if the taste is a little off."
"Okay, I'll start researching this area tomorrow."
"Well, you'd better find a few capable assistants to help you. Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. Don't try to handle everything by yourself, understand?"
"Don't worry, A Yuan and I will consider finding a few people to work on it together and try to develop it as soon as possible. It's just that we'll have to trouble you to send us some medicinal herbs."
