As soon as I entered the door, I saw Shen Wenxuan coming out of the kitchen carrying a pot of spicy crab.
"Wow! Spicy crab! I haven't eaten it in a long time!"
The moment Lin Zi saw the spicy crab, he couldn't help himself. He quickly stepped forward, took the spicy crab from the other person's hand and inhaled the aroma.
"Yeah! Brother Zimo, I just tried a piece. This spicy crab made by Yan Xuan is delicious! Hurry and bring it to the dining room." Shen Wenxuan said and then looked at the other three people. "Yan Xuan also made many other flavors. Let's bring them out and eat quickly! I can't wait!"
Several people walked into the kitchen with smiles on their faces. As soon as Shen Yanqing entered, he saw Qi Yanxuan cooking and sweating profusely. He quickly stepped forward, raised his sleeves and gently wiped the sweat off the other person.
Qi Yanxuan flipped the spatula in her hand and tilted her head slightly to cooperate with her man's movements. Although she didn't say anything, she had a feeling of peace and tranquility.
When Wen Yu saw Chu Han sitting in front of the stove and lighting a fire, he withdrew his hand that was about to serve the dishes and walked towards him.
Of the four people who originally came to serve the dishes, only Shen Yanshan and Shen Wenxuan were left. The two of them tactfully carried the dishes and walked out, leaving the space for the two couples.
Coming in front of Chu Han, Wen Yu saw that the tough young man in front of him had become a cat. He suppressed his smile, took out a handkerchief from his arms, bent down and patiently wiped off the soot on the other's face bit by bit.
Chu Han sat obediently on the small stool, looking at Wen Yu with gentle eyes, who couldn't hide the smile in her eyes. He thought that the other person looked particularly beautiful when he was trying to hold back his smile.
Feeling the gentle movements on my face, my heart felt sweeter than eating candied fruit, and my eyes unconsciously became softer.
Wen Yu quipped as he wiped the dirt: "How can someone this old still act like a child? His face has become like a tabby cat's."
"Isn't this you here?"
Chu Han couldn't help but hold the other person's hand and kiss it gently on his lips.
"When did you become so talkative?" Wen Yu pulled his hand back and turned to fetch water. "Hurry up and wash up and eat. Don't keep everyone waiting."
Chu Han looked at Wen Yu's slightly red ears and curled his lips slightly: Are you shy? So cute!
…
Everyone who has eaten these mutant shrimps and crabs thinks they are the most delicious thing they have ever eaten.
After that, soldiers and civilians would take turns going out to catch lobsters and crabs every day. With these things, the civilians could satisfy their appetites.
After all, it is difficult to catch delicious and easy-to-catch meat in today's environment.
Everyone formed teams to go out hunting during the period of high water. If the water receded, the shrimps and crabs would return to the river and become difficult to catch, and ordinary people could not leave the city at will.
As the sun shone brightly every day, the water level gradually receded, and the number of shrimps and crabs surrounding the city was greatly reduced. The remaining ones indeed retreated back to the Huai River.
The people also started to go out and plow the land, wanting to grow more food as soon as possible. After all, the main source of food still depends on the harvest from the fields, and ordinary people do not have the ability to go out to find food.
After the land was turned over, Qi Yanxuan took out the sweet potato vines stored in the space and demonstrated to the people how to plant them. Then he asked people to start planting sweet potatoes and potatoes on a large scale.
In addition to food, large areas of cotton were also planted. The cotton used for winter was all grown in Qi Yanxuan's space. After all, food was scarce at the beginning, so the greenhouse had to be used to grow grain first.
Now is spring, the perfect time to plant various crops. Qi Yanxuan doesn't know much about these things, so he leaves everything to the village chief. He is only responsible for providing seeds.

"Husband, now that the water level has receded, shall we go and see what's happening elsewhere? If there's any danger, we can resolve it quickly."
Qi Yanxuan lay in Shen Yanqing's arms, playing with the other's silky long hair in his hands.
Shen Yanqing kissed the forehead of the person in his arms, "Okay, let's go together tomorrow."
"Well, good night, husband."
Qi Yanxuan raised her head and kissed her man's chin, then found a comfortable position in his arms and closed her eyes.
"Goodnight, baby!"
Shen Yanqing looked at his wife's obedient sleeping face with doting eyes, and fell asleep contentedly while holding the person in his arms.
The next day.
The breeze dispelled the layers of fog in the mountains and forests, and the sunlight penetrated through the dense leaves, casting patches of blue mottled light, and the scene in the forest became clearer.
The huge tree roots that are still exposed above the ground under the dead leaves are crisscrossed like thick pythons lurking and ready to strike. Various insects are crawling under the rotten leaves, and their heads appear from time to time.
All five of them were wrapped tightly in combat uniforms, and each had a gas mask hanging around their necks in case of emergency.
Shen Yanqing walked in front to explore the way for the people behind him, Shen Yanshan, Chu Han, and Shen Wenxuan walked in the middle, and Qi Yanxuan walked at the back to look after them.
"Everyone, be careful. We don't know what dangers there are in this forest. Please be vigilant."
As soon as they entered the forest, Qi Yanxuan used his special abilities to investigate. The jungle is now full of dangers, but he is not willing to take care of everything for them. He always wants them to try to face danger so that they can grow.
Qi Yanxuan came here today not only to check the situation but also to give them more experience. He would let them deal with matters that did not involve their life safety on their own. Unless they encountered something they could not solve, he would not take action today.
After all, only fighting can make people grow quickly so that they can cope with unknown dangers in the future.
Upon hearing this, several people secretly became alert and glanced around.
"This forest wasn't like this when I came here before. These trees are obviously several times thicker."
The more Chu Han watched, the more shocked he became. Such a huge change had occurred in such a short period of time. This made him wonder: If Wen Yu and his brothers had not come, could they really survive in such a strange environment?
Shen Wenxuan casually shot a water arrow that nailed an arm-long centipede to the ground and said:
"It's not just the trees that have changed! These insects are different from anything I've seen before. They're all enlarged. Even ordinary ants are the size of a thumb."
Shen Yanqing used the wind blade to clear the way in front, and his expression became a little solemn as he listened to the conversation behind him.
"It seems that this apocalyptic disaster has brought significant improvements to all creatures except humans."
Shen Yanshan clenched his fists and said angrily: "It's really God who is blind. This world is not suitable for ordinary people to survive. They clearly give all kinds of creatures the opportunity to improve, but they just don't leave anyone a way to survive!"
Qi Yanxuan listened to the conversation between the few people and said lightly:
"Life is a cycle. What flourishes must decline. No species can thrive forever. All we have to do is try our best to survive and secure a glimmer of hope in desperate situations."
After hearing this, several people fell into a brief contemplation, and then a glimmer of hope arose in their hearts.
'To find a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation.'
You are right, there will always be a glimmer of hope no matter what. Their glimmer of hope is Qi Yanxuan. It was his arrival that saved millions of people and brought hope to these lives.
Thinking that the haze in these people's hearts had been swept away, they walked even harder.
As they went deeper, they saw more and more giant plants. Before they could encounter any mutant animals, they were blocked by giant carnivorous plants.
