"A Tao, you eat. I'm not hungry. Today you... snap..."

Xu Tao stuffed the apple directly into her brother's mouth. Who would believe him if he said he wasn't hungry after not eating for two days?

Xu Zhu took a bite subconsciously, his taste buds instantly captivated. In a matter of moments, he finished the entire thing, not even leaving the core. After finishing it, he was sweating all over, his pale complexion turned rosy, and he felt a renewed sense of vitality.

I can move my hands and feet, although I can't use them as freely, but it's much better than before.

"A Tao, eat quickly."

"Brother, I'm fine. I don't need to eat. Look." Xu Tao turned around a few times and jumped a few times to show that he was very strong now.

"No, I want to watch you eat."

Xu Zhu felt relieved only after seeing his sister eat one. Then he told his sister in a serious tone that she must not tell anyone about the fruit.

The effect was too incredible. If the higher-ups at the base discovered it, they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences. Since the fruit had already been picked, it was best not to go there again to avoid being discovered in the future.

"Don't worry, brother. I won't be able to find the place even if you ask me to go again."

Xu Zhu's face flushed as he thought of something. He hesitated for a long time, and finally, he could not hold it in any longer and awkwardly expressed his needs.

"Brother, can you stand on your own? I'll help you over."

Xu Tao stood outside, worried that her brother might accidentally fall into the toilet. She felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would have agreed to Zhang Yong's suggestion. She wondered where he lived in the inner circle.

Zhang Yong, who was worried about his brother, returned home and lifted up his brother's clothes without saying a word. He saw that his brother's body was covered with dense pinholes and his eyes were bloodshot. He rushed out with a dagger in his hand, but was stopped by Zhang Yi in time.

"Brother, I'm fine, don't go looking for her."

"Xiaoyi, be obedient. I'll be back soon."

Zhang Yi hugged his brother, refusing to let him go. If he left this door, there would be no turning back, and he didn't want his brother to ruin his future for him.

"Brother, Sister Yuping has been waiting for you for two years. Do you still want to pretend that you don't know?"

Zhang Yong left, pausing for a moment before heading towards the main hall without hesitation. Soon, the sound of a man cursing and a woman arguing could be heard from inside, followed by a burst of crackling noises before finally returning to silence.

At night, the moon hung high in the sky, emitting a soft light. Xu Tao sat on the doorstep and polished cups and dishes in the moonlight. She didn't go to bed until nearly twelve o'clock.

Xu Zhu lay silently on the other side and moved his arms and legs. He wanted to get better as soon as possible.

After sleeping for four hours, Xu Tao half closed her eyes. She really wanted to sleep a little longer, but she struggled to get up when she thought of her bare house. She had to work hard to earn points.

I hope Guozi can completely cure his brother so that they can get their house back soon.

After Xu Zhuji's breakdown, he felt as if a thousand ants were gnawing at his body. He hadn't slept soundly in ages. Yesterday, after eating the fruit, he felt much better. Even the noise of going out today didn't wake him, and he slept soundly as before.

Having left home early today, only a few people were walking on the street. Xu Tao followed the directions she remembered to a collection point. The plant here, shrunken to one-fifth, looked a bit like spinach. She lowered the sound of her watch and found a spot without any knife marks to begin testing.

Beep, beep, highly irradiated mutant plants, inedible

...

After two hours of testing, nothing was found and Xu Tao's back was already soaked. Food here was really hard to find. It seemed a bit unrealistic for her to think of earning points by eating.

Others were used to it; finding food within two hours was unusual. Some went five or six days without finding a single edible plant, relying on the high-radiation leaves they picked to fill their stomachs.

If you don't eat, you'll starve to death. Eating can add at least a dozen or twenty years to your life. The average life expectancy in the wasteland is only 50 or 60 years, and the death rate outside the shantytowns is even more terrifying.

The wasteland has two phases: the harvesting period and the cold wave period. The harvesting period lasts for nine months and is divided into three phases: early, mid, and late. The probability of harvesting food is higher in the early and late phases, while the mid phase is when radiation levels are highest.

The cold wave period lasts for three months. The land is frozen for thousands of miles, food is almost impossible to find outside, and it is extremely cold. Ordinary people can't survive for more than half a day.

The more Xu Tao thought about it, the more worried she became. The warm clothes she'd stocked up on weren't going to be of much use here. And the food, she couldn't always bring back something her brother hadn't seen before and had no radiation level. Even a fool would know there was something wrong.

Didi, moderately irradiated mutated plants, edible in moderation

Thinking about it, she didn't stop and threw the leaves in her hand away. After checking three or four leaves, she realized that if she heard correctly, there seemed to be an edible leaf.

I dug through the vegetable leaves on the ground and found the little cutie after searching for a while, and retested it.

Xu Tao wanted to pick up the leaf and kiss it, but seeing the eager eyes around her, she pretended to sigh, dropped the leaf, and continued testing.

After the people around him were no longer looking at him, he quickly picked it up and cut off the remaining half, then put it into the space under the cover of the backpack.

The leaves weighed about two kilograms. A kilogram of medium-radiation plants sold for ten points, but this one sold for twenty. Not bad! Finally, I'd earned my first pot of gold in the wasteland.

It's so tiring to find food by yourself, just like a thief.

There's nothing we can do about it. She's all alone and looks like she's easy to bully. Plus, it's the middle of the picking season, so people's chances of finding food are reduced, so they just like to stare at other people's harvests.

After checking the area, she checked her watch and saw it was only nine o'clock, so she moved. She felt a little uneasy looking at the dense crowd; any movement could cause a huge commotion.

Just now she saw that someone on the other side hadn't turned down the volume of his watch, and low-radiation plants were detected. A group of people swarmed forward, almost causing a stampede.

Fortunately, that person had many family members, more than a dozen of them were guarding in front, so those people gave up their worries.

A low-radiation plant weighing more than two kilograms can be sold for about 140 points in the mid-term, while a low-level nutrient solution only costs 10 points.

This leaf can be sold in exchange for fourteen low-level nutrients. If you save some, it will last you for half a month. No wonder they are so crazy.

Originally Xu Tao was happy with her own achievements, but compared with others, she was just a younger brother.

There were almost no people on this path, so I didn't dare take out my bike. After walking for nearly forty minutes, I saw a field of foxtail wheat.

Why is it called that? Because it looks like dogtail grass but is as big as giant wheat, about two meters tall and green overall.

I've seen in modern videos that dog tails contain a small amount of flour, which can be used to grind flour, but the taste is dry and rough.

There weren't many people over there, and I was a little confused. Didn't the people here know they could eat it? That shouldn't be the case. There were people pulling up any weeds on the roadside. Just as I was about to walk over, I was stopped by an old lady.
