"The food is gone, of course. Besides the inspection scissors, there's also a long knife. Is that your knife?"

"No, I only had a dagger with me at the time, and it was snatched away and stuck in my own shoulder." Chang Dongning denied it. In fact, the knife was hers, which she had stored up during the apocalypse. However, she probably didn't have spatial abilities at the time. Even though she had a basket on her back, it would have been easy for the surveillance cameras to see whether she was carrying a knife or not.

"Okay, I'll have them send the test kit to the regiment first. I'll bring it to you next time we go on a mission." Yan Xin nodded, then noticed the half-head peeking out from behind her: "Xuanxuan, did you miss Uncle Yan?"

Chang Xuan was caught as soon as he peeked, and he turned and ran.

Seeing the child run away in fright, Yan Xin laughed heartily. He knew how much his appearance could frighten children, and he just liked to scare them.

Chang Dongning was speechless at his perverse sense of humor. She didn't ask about the person's situation or how to handle it. After hanging up the video call, she didn't go to look for the child. A little while later, she went out to dry radishes, and Chang Xuan opened the bedroom door.

"Mother."

"Hmm, it's too hot outside, don't come out. What do you want to eat for lunch?" She carried the winnowing basket out and placed it in the yard. In just a short time, the skin on her face was already burning from the sun.

"Sweet steamed buns."

"Okay," Chang Dongning replied before entering the kitchen.

The hottest days had passed, and Chang Dongning received a notice that she had a three-day task to take Xuanxuan to the troupe's daycare.

"Xuanxuan, come here, Mom wants to talk to you about something."

"What's wrong, Mom?" Chang Xuanxuan ran over happily, clutching his toys.

"Mom needs to go out for a few days. Can you stay at daycare for a few days?"

"Can't I stay home?"

"Because Mom won't be back tonight, it's not safe for you to be home alone. All the children and teachers are here to keep you company."

"When is Mom going to pick me up from school?"

"Uncle Yan said it would be three days. Can Mom pick you up as soon as she gets back?" Chang Dongning looked at his little face and wondered if she could refuse the mission. He was too young and needed time to adjust.

"it is good."

"Huh? You agreed so quickly?" Chang Dongning was a little surprised.

"My brother said that when the adults go out to do important things, we children should behave well."

"Brother? Aunt Zhao's brother?"

"Yes."

He went on three missions, and each time he came back he would touch the energy stone. He always took Xuanxuan with him. He also successfully became friends with Zhao Yuan's youngest son. The two children even exchanged contact information and would occasionally video chat, talking in their childlike voices.

"Alright, since our Xuanxuan is being so good, then Mommy is going on a mission. Don't cry, okay?" Chang Dongning patted his head. This was a hurdle he had to overcome sooner or later; he'd get used to it.

The day before the mission, Chang Dongning locked up the house, put the important supplies into her spatial storage, bought him new clothes and candy, and even stayed with him at the nursery for one night.

When Changxuan woke up and realized he wasn't home, he was still confused when the teacher noticed he was awake. The teacher gently helped him get dressed and took him to wash up. The little boy then realized that his mother had gone on a mission and wouldn't be back tonight, so he was at the daycare.

He didn't cry, he just kept a straight face, hugged his toys, and didn't say a word.

At this time, Chang Dongning had arrived at his destination after a four-hour journey, changing from an energy vehicle to a plane. This mission was a joint operation by the three security zones, and they discovered an unusual creature coming ashore.

"This is the largest sea salt production area in several safe zones, and it cannot be polluted. The marine life that recently came ashore was previously unrecorded, and we don't know its living habits. The main purpose of this mission is to protect the researchers so they can study this animal," Tong Xing explained.

"Then it's fine if I, with my spatial ability, don't come or not."

"No, no, no, you are the most important." Tong Xing smiled with interest.

Ok?

"A new species means a harvest. Even if you can't eat meat, there are still energy stones. If you're lucky, you have a space. If you find one, you can put it in. The ones in your space don't participate in the collective distribution," Tong Xing said softly.

"So, won't other safe zones take in space-age ability users? Or will they use other methods?"

"It all depends on your own abilities."

Chang Dongning was protected; she and the researchers stayed behind, watching the gene warriors test the new species' fighting methods in various ways.

The creature on the beach has light green skin, a small round head, four limbs and a tail, and its body is covered in slime. Ordinary knives cannot cut it at all. If you accidentally let go of it, the knife will stick to it. Energy weapons can injure it, but if you don't hit its head, it will not die and will frantically stretch its neck to bite people.

The attacks of superhumans can damage it, but like energy weapons, it will only die if it is hit in the head.

After being beaten many times, it retracted its head, limbs, and tail into its body, turning into a smooth, flat, round ball of flesh.

"Why does this look so much like a sea turtle? A sea turtle without a shell," one of the older researchers suddenly said.

Chang Dongning had already thought of it, but she didn't want to take the lead, so she didn't speak up immediately.

"Sea turtles? So the reason they came ashore is..."

"spawning!"

Having guessed the general reason, someone stepped forward to stop the fighting and discuss what to do.

Before the wasteland, it wasn't a bad thing for sea turtles to come ashore and lay their eggs; now, however, more research is needed to verify this.

This had nothing to do with Chang Dongning anymore. Yan Xin led his men to drag back the sea turtle that had already been killed, so that researchers could study it.

Tong Xing led several soldiers back to Chang Dongning's side. Each of them had bulging pockets, but as they passed by her, their pockets were empty.

Having finally made it to the seaside, they naturally wanted to bring back plenty of seafood. Yan Xin divided the soldiers into two shifts, taking turns protecting the researchers, while those not on duty could go beachcombing.

Chang Dongning has no protection duties, so he gets up every morning before dawn, takes long tongs, and goes to collect seafood.

Although her space cannot hold living creatures, it can preserve them. For example, if she detects a shrimp that can eat a large shrimp, she will cut off its head and throw it into her space. She only leaves one cubic meter of space for herself, and the rest of the space is reserved for the regiment. The soldiers are organized into squads, and each squad puts a large box in her space and puts their own catch of seafood into their own box, which will be distributed when they return.

There was a superhuman in Safe Zone 32. After she accidentally revealed her face again, he often looked at her with strange eyes. Chang Dongning was a little disgusted and showed it off several times.

The soldiers' understanding was simple and crude: they believed that other safe zones were trying to poach their spatial ability users, so they were even more vigilant. They thought that if the man even glanced in their direction, someone would immediately block him and glare back at him.

Chang Dongning didn't recognize at all that it was the original owner's fleeting romance, and that it was Chang Xuan's DNA father.

Fortunately, the mission was completed within three days, and the man did not make any further moves.
