Seeing that it was getting late, Li Yao tidied up the dining table in the living room and put on a variety show on the TV connected to the computer.
Seeing that 6834 was already prepared at the table, Dazhuang, the food feeder, was also ready to take his place.
Li Yao took out all the seafood she had prepared earlier, and then picked out a three-way king crab from a star-rated restaurant as a side dish. She and 6834 then began their dinner.
As Li Yao expected, the mutated grouper had very tender flesh. With the scallions, ginger and garlic seasoning from the [Spiritual Spring Space], it was incredibly flavorful. A big bite of fish dipped in the sauce was tender, juicy and sweet, truly delicious.
As expected, the Splendid Dragon lived up to expectations. As Li Yao ate the tender lobster meat, she truly understood why the wild Splendid Lobster had been eaten into becoming a protected species. It was indeed delicious, and wild lobsters have a lot of exercise, so the lobster meat was not only fresh but also very bouncy.
The garlic lobster was also quite good, especially since Li Yao used garlic from the [Spiritual Spring Space]. The two complemented each other perfectly, with neither one being lacking, making it very delicious.
The grilled mackerel was incredibly delicious. This mutated mackerel, paired with sweet and sour lemon juice, had its umami flavor amplified many times over. It was grilled using aluminum foil, which locked all the juices into the fish, making it not dry at all and exceptionally tender.
In comparison, eating king crab three times felt like something was missing. After finishing, Li Yao reflected on herself. She wondered if she had gotten carried away. These crabs, if kept in an inland base, could probably save a life.
However, this thought only flashed through her mind. Now that she had the means, she should eat well. Tomorrow, she would steam the mutated giant crab she had collected today.
In the evening, the person and the cat, having eaten and drunk their fill, began their day of lying down and relaxing.
It was the same recliner. Li Yao gently rocked the recliner while 6834 ate fruit beside her, gazing at the starry sky.
Suddenly, Li Yao asked, "[6834, do you think if I just wipe out all the zombies in the world, will the apocalypse end?]"
Suddenly, 6834 jumped onto Li Yao with an unusually serious expression and said, "Host, planetary evolution cannot be accomplished by one person alone. You didn't formally raise this issue before, so 6834 didn't formally tell you. Now that you have, the system must remind you that this planet has unknown energy in its atmosphere. Just because the zombies have disappeared doesn't mean humans can live peacefully. The unknown energy changes all life. Even without zombies, there must be other species. Planetary evolution will leave a glimmer of hope for all species. If the host insists on taking complete control of humanity's fate, the system will be erased, which means the host will disappear directly."
Seeing 6834's serious expression, Li Yao quickly reassured it, saying, "It's alright, it's alright. I just asked out of the blue. Don't worry, I never intended to be a savior."
Li Yao had always harbored a vague guess or concept in her heart. Ever since she acquired the system, this thought had been hidden in her mind. Whenever she had the idea that "I can collect them all with one click, and once I've collected all the zombies in the world, my skill points will be enough," another thought would emerge in her mind to refute it, saying, "This apocalypse may be an opportunity for humanity; risks and opportunities coexist."
For high-level ability users, there are still many mutated plants and animals that are edible in the post-apocalyptic world, and marine life has not yet undergone malignant mutations. As long as they kill more zombies and improve their ability level, they can find something to gain everywhere outside the base.
However, for those who have always lived in peace or have never awakened their supernatural abilities, this world is full of dangers. Similarly, it is a huge challenge for the Dragon Kingdom, which has always controlled weapons.
Li Yao wasn't sure if these beneficial mutations would decrease in the future. After all, the original owner had only lived for three years and was stuck at the bottom of a city base. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was a marginal person. She had no friends and no sources of information. She just wanted to live one day at a time and was troubled by the evil of humanity that she saw every day without any legal or moral constraints.
If the zombies are gone, will the mutated plants and animals also begin to undergo large-scale mutations, as in other novels she has read?
She didn't know, and she had no chance to try and make mistakes.
Sometimes Li Yao would let her imagination run wild, wondering if these superhumans would be like those in interstellar novels, leading survivors out of their planets into the Milky Way, establishing new homes with other planetary species, and their superhuman abilities would become their innate talents and assets for fighting against each other.
Looking at the distant Milky Way, Li Yao felt a little lost. All she could do now was to focus on herself, make a good living, accumulate enough skill points, and then break through the spatial barrier. If this world would eventually escape the catastrophe, perhaps she wouldn't need to travel through time to leave.
If this world eventually disappears within a century, then I will still have a way out.
Hey, why think about that? There are still so many places I haven't been, so many strange mutated plants and animals I haven't seen, and so many delicious foods I haven't tried. So, let's take things one step at a time. Upgrading my abilities, accumulating skill points, and making sure I live each day to the fullest are the things I should be doing right now.
In this life, isn't it all about living the life you want?
Maybe one day she'll get tired of just sitting around waiting to die, and then she'll find a place to build city gates with zombie heads.
