Steaming hot dishes were placed on the table, and the four of them sat down together, all with happy smiles on their faces.

"Come, come, the environment is simple now, and there are no special conditions."

I'd like to offer a toast to Jingmo and Jiangli with tea, in lieu of wine, to thank you for inviting Qin Yue and me to this dinner.

Qin Yu stood up, picked up his teacup, and offered a cup to both Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li.

Jiang Li blushed and quickly waved her hand, telling him not to be so polite.

Ye Jingmo picked up his teacup and toasted Qin Yu in return.

"Eat your food, eat your food, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Jiang Li, holding chopsticks, urged them to start eating together.

The bear paw was stewed until tender; a piece of meat could be easily torn off with chopsticks, its bouncy texture jiggling on the chopsticks.

It has a chewy texture and tastes a bit like pig's trotters.

The most amazing thing is the sauce for the steamed bear paw. Scoop a spoonful onto the sweet potato noodles, and the taste is absolutely divine.

Add a chopstickful of stir-fried green peppers and cured pork, and your mouth will be greasy with oil.

The four of them ate their food and chatted.

"I don't know how long this cold weather will last; it's really going to be unbearable."

Qin Yue chewed on some meat and mumbled something.

"Sigh, if the heating were provided like before, it wouldn't be so unbearable."

Jiang Li continued the conversation, saying that she always felt that cold weather was more unbearable than hot weather.

If you can find a place to hide, you can barely get through the heat.

But it's cold, and it's freezing no matter where you hide. Without a heat source, a person will just freeze to death.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, it's too upsetting. We can't change the weather, we can only try our best to survive."

Qin Yue sighed.

Qin Yu listened to their conversation and looked at Ye Jingmo, "Jingmo, Jiang Li, do you want to go hunting?"

He felt that the success rate of the hunt would be greatly increased if Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li went out together.

Before Ye Jingmo could speak, Jiang Li asked,

"Hunting? To the back mountain?"

"No, I plan to go to the neighboring city or county."

There used to be a large ecological park there; many animals lived there after the apocalypse.

Ye Jingmo searched his memory for a moment,

“I remember that the ecological park is more than 50 kilometers away from here, and it would be impossible to walk there.”

"It's definitely impossible to get there on foot, but the base has special snowmobiles."

I've inquired; it costs five points to rent a car for one day, and with the cost of gasoline, it comes to fifteen points per day.

As long as we can catch prey, we can break even.

Jiang Li said, "That makes sense, but we can't guarantee that we'll be able to hunt prey once we get there."

Qin Yu nodded, "Yes, that's where the risk lies, so I thought we should go and take a look first."

The return trip takes about two hours. If the prey is too scarce, then it's a loss.

At most fifteen points, that's something I can afford.

Jiang Li stared at Ye Jingmo with her big, watery eyes, wanting to know what he was thinking.

Their family has no shortage of food; if they wanted to be comfortable, they could simply stay home during the winter.

When do you plan to leave?

Have you checked the route? What contingency plans are in place if we can't get back due to unforeseen circumstances?

Ye Jingmo asked a series of questions.

"I checked the weather forecast released by the base. It will be a sunny day in three days, and I plan to set off at that time."

The route goes directly onto the highway, and the highways leading there are all flat. As long as they haven't collapsed, you can get there as quickly as possible.

As for the possibility of not being able to come back for the night, I haven't considered it.

I think that given the distance, a day trip would be the best option.
