When there were very few pikas left, Changxuan ran behind his mother.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry." He was too young and didn't know the other kids in the compound. He didn't know how to play with the toys they were playing with, so he came to find his mother when he got tired of watching.

"Wait a minute, it'll be ready soon."

Soon, all the pikas had been touched. Chang Dongning took off her gloves, washed her hands, and didn't need to participate in the cleanup. She wasn't originally required to go through the process of opening up the pits and touching the energy stones, but Yan Xin thought her luck stat was high, so he asked her to come, of course, for the points.

She took off her apron and put it into her storage space, then took Chang Xuan for a stroll nearby.

"Does Xuanxuan like it here?"

"like."

Why?

"big."

"Would it be alright if you moved here from now on?"

"Where's Mom? Where's home?"

"Of course, Mom will bring Xuanxuan here. It's home. Let's stay there and earn points, okay?" The courtyard in the family area doesn't require paying security tax, but once she leaves the legion, she and her family will no longer have the right to live here. The Chang family's courtyard is different. As long as it's not sold and they keep paying taxes, the house will always belong to them.

So she plans to rent it out, which will not only cover the security tax but also generate some income.

"Follow your mother."

"Then Mom will work hard to accumulate contribution points and move here with Xuanxuan as soon as possible, so that Xuanxuan can have playmates."

The cafeteria announced that lunch was ready. The pika meat was so-so, but what amazed Chang Dongning was the locust leg meat. It smelled so bad when it was being processed, but the leg meat was so delicious, tender, and a bit like crab leg meat.

Xuanxuan also likes to eat; he holds his little bowl by himself and eats until his face is covered in oil.

"Could I buy a little more of the locust's leg meat?" Chang Dongning wanted to buy some.

"This stuff is all about eating it fresh. Whether it's kept in a refrigerator or frozen, the meat will become tough and mushy after a few days. So the supply depot won't keep any. By tomorrow morning at the latest, it will all be used to exchange for other supplies. If you want to buy some, hurry up and go," Zhao Yuan reminded her.

Tong Xing said, "The harvest this time is not small. Some will be distributed to those of us who went on the mission. It will be distributed after we finish eating. We will get some of the rats and energy stones."

The supply depot is indeed already counting the quantities. Besides what needs to be handed over, the remaining supplies will be distributed to each person on the mission. The remaining rats and energy stones will be put into storage, and the locust leg meat will be exchanged with the brother units for other resources.

After the meal, Chang Dongning shared half a pika, a locust's leg, and an energy stone with an energy content of 350.

With no mission scheduled for the next day, Chang Dongning turned off her alarm clock, ready to get a good night's sleep.

Before washing up, Chang Dongning took out some fried bamboo worms from her spatial storage and gave one to Chang Xuan.

"So delicious." Fried food is a delicacy that no child in any world can resist.

Which is tastier, fried bamboo worms or locust legs?

Chang Xuan hesitated for a moment: "Mom's cooking is the best."

Chang Dongning couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha, although Mom is very happy, Mom likes fried bamboo worms."

"Give them all to Mom."

"Then Mom will give you half."

The pika and locust quests were given out three times until those two creatures no longer appeared in the vicinity.

At this time, the climate enters an extremely hot phase. The sky only gets dark between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m., and the rest of the time it is all daytime.

During this period, unless there is a particularly urgent situation, the authorities will not assign any tasks.

Chang Dongning organized the things at home. When she went to the mission point of the pika and locust for the second time, she wanted to see if there were any grains. She went a little further and found a few radishes.

The radishes she dug up at the fishing spot she went fishing for were spicy enough for her. These ones were quite large, so she washed them, cut a small, thin slice, and took a bite without warning.

"Wow!" Chang Dongning took a small bite and couldn't stand the spiciness, so she quickly drank a glass of pomegranate juice with sugar.

"Mom, what is it? Xuanxuan wants to eat it." Changxuan, who was playing in the corner of the kitchen, ran over.

"You can't eat this, it's too spicy."

Chang Dongning refused outright, but the child still looked at his mother with curiosity.

"Why don't you lick it?" Chang Dongning said hesitantly, holding the thin slice she had already taken a bite of. She felt that children's exploration of the world was the beginning of their understanding of the world. The children hadn't seen her eat the radish before, so they hadn't had the idea of ​​trying it.

"Okay." The child nodded firmly.

Chang Dongning took out the candy she had bought for him a few days ago from the refrigerator. Since the first time she bought it, the family had basically never run out of candy.

"Don't bite, just lick it," Chang Dongning instructed.

The child was a little nervous after being instructed by his mother. He carefully stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked it. At first, he seemed a little confused. After a few seconds, he stuck his tongue out again, his face turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Ugh, Mom, ah!"

"Quick, have some candy, have some candy." Chang Dongning quickly stuffed the candy in her hand into his mouth.

It took the child a while to finish speaking: "Mommy, is this spicy?"

"Yes, this is spicy, the spiciness of radish is a different feeling from the spiciness of chili peppers."

"Chili peppers? What are those?"

Chang Dongning didn't see any chili peppers at the collection site. Processed chili powder was sold in the trading hall, but she didn't buy any because she has young children at home and doesn't cook spicy dishes.

"There are no chili peppers at home, so look them up on your watch." Chang Dongning put on her mask and goggles, preparing to cut half of the chili peppers in the sun to dry. She would use the dried half to make pickled vegetables in the winter, and keep the other half fresh in her storage space. If she could harvest some fatty meat, she would use it for stewing.

If the meat is still spicy after stewing, serve it separately to the children beforehand.

Speaking of pickled vegetables, she had finished the lichen she had previously pickled, and there were still two more she had collected in her space, so she took them out and soaked them, preparing to pickle them all. After pickling, the taste was alright.

She had just finished chopping the radish when she received a video call from Yan Xin.

"Company commander?"

"Weren't you at home? What's with that look? Are you going out to forage?" So dedicated? Are you out of food at home?

"No, I'm cutting radishes, they're too spicy."

"Oh, I thought you were out of food. You're an ability user, so if you're short of food, you can go to the supply depot and get some food in advance."

"No need, no need, there's still food at home," Chang Dongning quickly replied, as she had plenty of food at home.

Given her current identity, she can also secretly add some radiation-free food stored in other worlds to her daily meals.

"That's good. I called you to video chat because we found the third member of that gang."

"Huh? It's been so long, I thought I couldn't find it." In the middle of nowhere, completely wrapped up, she wasn't even sure if the person who took the things was male or female.

"It's too hot, and the harvest isn't good. He wants to sell your testing tools in exchange for some food. Each testing tool has a unique number, and we've already registered it for you."

"No, he can't be that stupid, can he? Go to the authorities?" Chang Dongning knew about the registration number; she had given it to him herself. But that thing didn't have a location tracking function, and there were many places that dealt with such shady things.

"No, he took it to the black market in the shantytown. It changed hands several times before being encountered by a gene warrior who reported it to the guard team." It was also because Chang Dongning's superpower awakened successfully that the person in charge did not treat it perfunctorily.

"What's left of the things that were taken away?"
