Besides her, there were other people also responsible for collecting food.
Examples include edible mutant cacti, non-toxic mushrooms, and giant snails.
Lin Zhenzhen needs to catch rats every day and hand them over to the kitchen promptly.
The kitchen staff mixed and processed it with other ingredients to make energy biscuits, which were then supplied to the entire Gu family.
In principle, this is public property and must be handed over in full without any concealment.
“But since you’re a fox species, you must have a particular fondness for mice, right?” Gu Bosheng reassured her in a low voice, “You’re very hardworking, so you don’t need to feel guilty.”
Lin Zhenzhen was speechless and choked with emotion once again.
Is this what it means for a big shot to spoil someone?
She forced a smile and said, "Actually, I don't have a big appetite, and I don't usually like eating rats."
Gu Bosheng didn't press the matter further, and he turned his gaze back to the sky.
Lin Zhenzhen followed his gaze and suddenly realized what he meant.
Today is the full moon.
The night of the full moon is when Gu Bosheng's genetic modification side effects are most severe.
But he looked perfectly normal at the moment, showing no sign of pain.
Seeing that he was no longer paying attention to her, Lin Zhenzhen shamelessly started an awkward conversation.
"The moon is so beautiful tonight."
Gu Bosheng turned his head upon hearing the sound, looking surprised.
"This is the first time I've heard someone say that."
Lin Zhenzhen's smile froze on her face.
In the apocalypse, zombies and mutated plants and animals are active at night.
Danger always lurks in the darkness, and even this crescent moonlight is tainted with the shadow of death.
Lin Zhenzhen composed herself, lowered her head slightly, and after a thousand thoughts swirled in her mind, decided to take a gamble.
She looked up at the person beside her.
"I know that most people yearn for the sun because it is hot and warm enough to give them a sense of security."
“But I don’t think so.” Lin Zhenzhen chuckled. “What’s the point of the sun? It looks the same every day.”
"I love the moon; it waxes and wanes, each phase is different."
"During those confusing and difficult days, it reminded me that every day is unique, so I have to try harder to live on."
She turned around, grinned at him, and said, "What do you think?"
Gu Bosheng remained silent for a moment, his dark pupils unfathomable.
After a long pause, he smiled and said, "That's a very interesting way of putting it. It's the first time I've heard it like this."
Lin Zhenzhen pursed her lips reservedly, but in her heart she was actually overjoyed.
Having achieved two "firsts" in just ten minutes, the strategy value must have skyrocketed!
The system poured cold water on you: [Very good, you've gained a point! Once you've achieved 199 "first times" with him, your strategy points will be maxed out! Keep it up, host!]
watt?!
Lin Zhenzhen's fox-like eyes widened like copper bells.
This is not scientific!
What kind of science do you talk about in the apocalyptic world of the quick transmigration system?
"Then I won't disturb you as you enjoy this beautiful moonlight."
With that, he turned around quickly and left without any hesitation.
Looking at his back, Lin Zhenzhen had a sudden inspiration and blurted out.
"Tonight, the pearly hue will bloom along with the full moon."
Gu Bosheng indeed stopped in his tracks, turned around, and seemed puzzled.
"What?"
As expected, Lin Zhenzhen was overjoyed.
As mentioned in the original book, Gu Bosheng was very fond of collecting pre-apocalyptic artworks.
The ink wash landscape painting she had seen in the reception room earlier also corroborated her guess.
She said in a pretentious tone, "It's an ancient poem written by a poet to describe the bright moonlight."
"So it was a poem?" Gu Bosheng read the poem aloud, his eyes flickering slightly.
"That sounds beautiful."
His gaze toward Lin Zhenzhen finally held a different glint.
How do you know this?
There's a reason why Gu Bosheng was so surprised.
The reason why the end times are called the end times is not only due to rampant viruses and abnormal biological evolution, but also because of another very important factor.
That is, extremely harsh weather conditions.
Temperature is like a spring that has lost its elasticity, constantly jumping between extreme heat and extreme cold.
In the early post-apocalyptic world, energy supplies were insufficient, and humans were unable to use electrical appliances for heating.
The only way to cope with the ever-present threat of a cold snap is to light a fire.
The need for survival always takes precedence over the need for spiritual fulfillment.
Books, once the ladder of human progress, can only be reduced to black smoke and wasteland in the leaping flames.
A hundred years have passed, and few people still remember the once brilliant civilization.
Faced with his question, Lin Zhenzhen remained calm and began to spout nonsense without batting an eye.
“My family has been running a bookstore for generations, and we have a lot of old books stored in our warehouse.”
"But after the apocalypse came, that place was taken over by mutated plants, which actually preserved it."
"One year, the mutated plant evolved legs and ran away on its own. The warehouse was finally able to see the light of day again."
“These books were originally supposed to be handed over to the city lord, but my great-grandfather cherished them and secretly kept some as family heirlooms and passed them down to me.”
Upon hearing her say that, Gu Bosheng's eyes immediately lit up.
Lin Zhenzhen quickly said, "However, the city I lived in was later occupied by zombies, and these things were lost during the escape."
Gu Bosheng frowned slightly, his disappointment evident in his expression: "What a pity."
“It is indeed a pity,” Lin Zhenzhen said tentatively. “But I remember quite a bit. If General Gu needs it, I can make a copy.”
Gu Bosheng's dark pupils widened slightly, and he curled his lips into a smile: "Is that alright?"
