Ding Yuxiu grabbed the backpack strap with one hand and held her daughter's hand tightly with the other. Although she didn't say anything, her anger could be seen from the corners of her tightly pursed lips.

"Mom, don't be angry." Qian Anan spoke to comfort her mother. She has changed a lot now. Her milky white skin has turned into the current wheat color, and her body is strong and healthy.

In order to survive, Qian Hao and his companions were showered with energy rain while searching for supplies. After a few days, their bodies were well nourished and their strength was further improved.

They could feel these changes themselves, but they didn't know it was because of the energy rain and simply thought it was the result of exercise.

"There's still one day to go." Cui Jianxiong murmured, they would soon reach the base.

Li Feng had grass leaves wrapped around his head. During the previous rescue, he was bitten by a cockroach and a piece of flesh was torn off his forehead.

Looking at his miserable state, Cui Jianxiong felt heartbroken. "How is the wound? Can you hold on?"

"I'm fine, don't worry." Li Feng didn't take it seriously at all, it was just a little bleeding.

Cui Jianxiong felt even more uncomfortable when he heard him say this.

The closer we get to the base, the more traces of human activity we see, and the more difficult it becomes to search for supplies.

In desperation, some people began to turn their attention to mutated plants and animals.

There is no reason why you would starve yourself to death when you are surrounded by green. There is always something to eat, right?

Careful people soon discovered the clues and tried to eat some plants that were edible by small animals.

Although the taste is hard to describe, it is not poisonous and can fill your stomach.

Among them, Mrs. Guan discovered the most species. She really entered without any scruples. When asked, she said she felt there was no problem.

Her series of actions were also respected by everyone, and no one dared to act rashly in front of her.

In such a world, who would still be willing to take risks? And who would still selflessly share the results?

Some people were dismissive of everything she did and said she was just seeking fame and reputation.

Some people say she is putting on airs to attract attention...

He opens his mouth with all kinds of unpleasant words, but then turns around and puts on a hypocritical smile, accepting the gifts from the "hypocritical person" with peace of mind.

This is the hypocrisy of the world.

Thanks to Qian Anan's evolved hearing and alertness, the three-person team has never encountered any danger.

Of course, they didn't go far and only dared to look for edible plants near the campsite.

Hope is something you create yourself, not given by others.

"Grandma Guan, come and look, is this a grain of rice?" Ding Yuxiu waved excitedly, staring at the plant in front of her without blinking.

Old Mrs. Guan also ran over excitedly. She had only recently discovered that the three members of the Qian family seemed to be particularly lucky, and following them would never lead to returning empty-handed.

When I came to Ding Yuxiu, I saw a strange plant.

The height of the corn stalks, the diameter of the plants is as thick as sugarcane, and the top ears are decorated with a dozen oval fruits the size of tomatoes.

When I smelled it closely, I could really smell the unique fragrance of rice.

"It smells quite similar." He reached out and picked one.

Open the layers of green skin and you will find a plump white fruit inside. Once the skin is opened, the rice aroma becomes more intense.

The two couldn't help swallowing, then smiled at each other.

It's only been a short time since I last had rice, but it feels like centuries have passed.

Old Mrs. Guan smiled, leaned forward and took a light bite.

"Grandma Guan." Ding Yuxiu exclaimed.

"It's okay, I'll give it a try."

Old Mrs. Guan smiled and waved her hand indifferently. She had a hunch that this thing was not poisonous.

"Don't do this every time. It's too dangerous. I'll ask An An's father to catch a pheasant and use it to try the food later." Ding Yuxiu looked at Grandma Guan worriedly.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

The two men picked all the rice grains and pulled out a plant to take away.

After returning to the camp, the news of the rice grains quickly spread, and people excitedly rushed over to check it out.

Ding Yuxiu also contributed a few grains of rice to the army.

Now that we have found one, we can definitely find another nearby.

Li Feng sent a squad to search alongside Ding Yuxiu and the others.

The search was not that easy. After wandering around for the whole morning, they didn't find anything and were tired and hot.

"Mom, there are birds singing, a lot of birds." An An, who was sitting next to her mother to rest, suddenly spoke.

Before Ding Yuxiu could react, Old Lady Guan excitedly asked which direction it was.

An An pointed at their ten o'clock direction.

"Let's go over and see what should be there." Old Mrs. Guan waved the wooden stick in her hand and pointed forward.

The accompanying soldier understood immediately after hearing this, and rushed forward with machetes in hand to clear the way.

A soldier came forward and helped Mrs. Guan follow closely in the middle of the team.

The group walked around a broken wall, and a small patch of mature rice plants appeared scattered before their eyes.

"Oh, hurry up, drive them all away."

Old Mrs. Guan slapped her thigh excitedly, and birds as big as pigeons were eating rice grains.

It looks like a mutant of a sparrow, with gray feathers, round eyes, and looks extremely agile and cunning.

The soldier put down his backpack, raised the machete in his hand and rushed forward.

Ding Yuxiu was also anxiously waving a wooden stick and chasing after them, and she actually knocked out a few of them.

After the excitement wore off, several mutant birds were tied around Grandma Guan and An An's feet.

"Xiao Ding's aim is pretty good, haha, we have meat to eat today." Old Mrs. Guan joked.

Ding Yuxiu blushed slightly and scratched her short hair embarrassedly.

After driving away the mutant birds, everyone started to get busy. They were not far from the base.

Before collecting, the soldier took out a container and carefully dug out five complete plants, without even removing the rice grains on them.

This was the task assigned to them by the commander, and they were to take it back to the base for research.

More birds were knocked unconscious by the soldier, and everyone returned home happily with a full load. When they parted, the soldier gave Ding Yuxiu and the others a few more birds.

All the rice grains were combined and divided equally among the people, including An An.

Ding Yuxiu initially refused it, but it was Grandma Guan who stepped forward and took it for An An.

"Since our An An is involved, he is a part of it, right?" Old Mrs. Guan touched An An's little head with a loving look on her face.

An An grinned and nodded happily. She was also a team member and helped.

Since Grandma Guan had spoken, Ding Yuxiu took it and put it away with a smile.

It’s not that she’s stupid and doesn’t want it, she’s just afraid that too many people will gossip and make some people unhappy and make enemies.

She would rather eat less than offend others without knowing it.

Now Grandma Guan lives with the Qian family and all her things are kept together.

After getting the luggage back from the soldier who stayed behind, the three of them set up the tent.
