Ye Yunxi looked at Fu Heng meaningfully.
"Go to your hometown? I don't even know if I'll live that long. Besides, I don't know when the natural disasters will end. What other natural disasters might follow is also unknown. What if one day I..."
Before Ye Yunxi could finish speaking, Fu Heng kissed her on the lips, silencing her. After releasing Ye Yunxi, he said with a firm look in his eyes.
"I won't let that day come for you. Don't worry, we will live on forever, and you will live as long as I do."
Ye Yunxi smiled but remained silent. She knew Fu Heng was merely comforting her. Even the longest human lifespan, without natural disasters, is at most a hundred years.
Moreover, this is the apocalypse, and it's uncertain whether anyone will even survive until tomorrow. She has a spatial ability, but others don't.
Seeing Ye Yunxi so dejected, Fu Heng really wanted to tell her that there was a medicine on their planet that could make humans live as long as they did.
He had asked Minyu to inquire about where to find that medicine a while ago, but he hadn't received any news. It seemed he would have to contact Minyu to ask.
Today they were resting, and Fu Heng didn't bring up topics that would upset her, so he grinned.
"Xixi, shall we stay home today, or go out for a walk? If we go out for a walk, we can wander around."
Ye Yunxi thought for a moment and decided to go out and take a look. Lately, she had been either at work or at home. In addition, it had been a while since she had checked on the vegetable garden.
"Let's go for a walk today, and check on the vegetable garden while we're at it; it's been a while since we've been there."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
The two got out of bed together to wash up. By the time they finished, it was already past ten o'clock, so they ate lunch together.
Ye Yunxi took out the food. There was broccoli with oyster sauce, stir-fried pork liver, dry pot shrimp, as well as pickled cucumber and rice.
The two began eating, and after finishing their meal half an hour later, Fu Heng cleared the table, and Ye Yunxi went upstairs to change into casual clothes. She then went out with Fu Heng.
The two arrived at the vegetable garden first and saw several people busy working. Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng walked over, unnoticed by them.
Ye Yunxi saw Chen Zhe and Zhang Jing there, so she called out to them.
When Chen Zhe and Zhang Jing heard someone calling them, they turned around and saw Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng. They looked at each other and walked over with some concern.
"Sister Yunxi, Brother Heng, there's something I want to tell you. Look at the vegetable leaves." Chen Zhe pointed to the vegetable leaves and showed them to Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng.
She continued, "These past two days, we've noticed some insect eggs inexplicably appearing on the vegetable leaves. We tried to clean them up, but a lot more appeared the next day, significantly more than the first day."
Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng frowned slightly after hearing Chen Zhe's words. They bent down to examine the vegetable leaves, looking at them here and there.
There were indeed many insect eggs on the vegetable leaves, and some leaves clearly had insect holes.
Ye Yunxi stood up, looked up at Chen Zhe and Zhang Jing, and asked them.
"Have you been using the nutrition I gave you? Do you use it often?"
Zhang Jing replied, "It's useful. We always add a lot of the nutrient solution you give us. If there are insect eggs, we clean them off and then water them with the nutrient solution again. But today there were obviously more. So we haven't watered them today, and we don't dare to water them anymore, for fear that they will grow even more."
Ye Yunxi looked at them and said somewhat seriously.
"Why didn't you tell me about this immediately?"
Chen Zhe felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look Ye Yunxi in the eye.
"Sister Yunxi, I'm sorry. We found them yesterday in the evening. We didn't think much of it at the time, assuming they were just ordinary insect eggs and that once we cleaned them up, they wouldn't be there anymore. But when we came to the vegetable garden this morning, we found that there were significantly more insect eggs than yesterday."
We were planning to explain the situation to Sister Yunxi after we finished cleaning up, but we didn't expect you to arrive before we were even done."
Fu Heng comforted both parties and then looked at Ye Yunxi.
“Xixi, now that we know, it’s not too late. I think these crops will ripen in the next couple of days. Why don’t we harvest them all today? We should remove any crops with insect eggs first, and harvest the ones without. Otherwise, if we wait another two days, there won’t be much crop left in the vegetable garden.”
Then she looked at Chen Zhe and the others. "Your sister Yunxi is just a little anxious. This food is the result of her and your hard work. It's understandable that she's a little anxious when something like this happens. Don't take it to heart."
Chen Zhe and Zhang Jing both knew that Ye Yunxi was just a little impatient. She was usually very good to them, and she never skimped on the rewards they deserved. Moreover, she treated everyone fairly and showed no favoritism.
Even if Ye Yunxi scolds them, they won't complain. This situation is entirely their own fault for not considering things thoroughly.
Ye Yunxi looked around and realized it was indeed almost time to collect them; it was only a matter of a few days. If they weren't collected soon, just as Fu Heng had said, there wouldn't be many left.
At that time, not only will the base suffer heavy losses, but Ye Yunxi and her group will also suffer significant losses.
“Alright, then let’s harvest all the grain today. Ah Heng, you contact Captain Li first, and I’ll contact Uncle Zhou and Professor Hu.”
She then turned to look at Chen Zhe and Zhang Jing, her tone softening considerably.
"You two organize the others and tell them to hurry up and clean up the insect eggs. After Assistant Zhou arrives, you can put the grain into baskets and load it onto the truck. Understand?"
