Chi Yunyan picked up a pocket full of clothes.

He handed it over. Wen Qizhou glanced at the bayberry being carried and suppressed a smile: "You can eat it, I don't like bayberry."

Looking at his expression, Chi Yue realized what he was thinking and retracted his outstretched hand, not intending to touch it.

They had no reminder.

Xie Changxiao and Chi Yunyan, who were not aware of the problem at all, each picked up a plump bayberry, wiped it on their clothes casually, and stuffed it into their mouths.

The next second, both of them frowned at the same time.

The movements were surprisingly consistent, and he lowered his head and spat out the bayberry in his mouth at an unexpected speed.

"very sour……"

Chi Yue burst into laughter.

Wen Qizhou looked at them who were so sore that they wished they could die on the spot. He didn't hold back his smile anymore and raised his thin lips.

"Wild bayberry is different from artificially cultivated ones." He was "lucky" to taste it once and almost shed tears.

"No wonder you don't eat." Xie Changxiao punched his good brother on the shoulder and couldn't help spitting at his feet.

The same goes for Chi Yunyan.

He angrily threw all the wild bayberries in his pocket on the ground, smacked his sour mouth twice, and walked forward without even looking at the bayberry tree.

Looking at the soil on the ground and the surrounding vegetation that suddenly became dense, Chi Yue guessed that there might be a source of water, so she followed the direction of the extension of the vegetation to find the source of water hidden behind.

The sound of gurgling water comes from far to near.

Her eyes brightened slightly, and just as she was about to move forward, a strange sound suddenly sounded in her ears, and she had to stop.

"Xinxin, you are so beautiful..."

The rustling sound of friction, accompanied by the man's rough sigh, echoed behind the vegetation.

The weeds swayed from time to time, and she and the three people behind her could guess what the other was doing without having to find out.

Listening to the unbearable whisper, Wen Qizhou frowned slightly, took Chi Yue's hand, turned and walked to the other side.

Xie Changxiao and Chi Yunyan followed immediately.

They hadn't walked two steps when Yang Xinxin's artificial voice was carried by the breeze and blew past their ears.

"Sure enough, it's her." Chi Yue made a guess when she heard the phrase "Xin Xin". Now that it was confirmed, she felt even more disgusted.

During the apocalypse, it is actually normal for some women with low martial arts value and no ability to survive to choose to rely on strong men who can protect them due to their livelihood.

Chi Yue never looked down on them.

Although the base treats every resident equally, the current resources are limited after all. It is reasonable for both men and women to want to climb up and live a better life.

But Yang Xinxin is different.

She is too flamboyant and her moral bottom line is too low.

No matter whether the other party has a family or not, or whether he has other thoughts, she will pounce on him regardless and use all her strength to seduce him to prove her so-called charm.

A scum like her doesn't deserve anyone's pity or sympathy, it just makes people feel disgusted.

Xie Changxiao tutted: "Bad luck."

As if he had swallowed a fly, he dragged Chi Yunyan beside him and walked forward quickly, widening the distance between him and the wild mandarin duck.

They went around to the upper reaches of the water source.

When we pushed aside the vegetation and saw the crystal clear stream that had never been polluted, our interest that had been ruined by the wild mandarin ducks was revived, and they all walked to the stream to take a look down.

Fish swam leisurely in the streams, with shiny scales, spitting bubbles from time to time, and playing leisurely around the stones.

Chi Yunyan suggested making his own spear to spear fish.

He happily put down his bow and arrow, took Xie Changxiao and Wen Qizhou to the rear to look for tools, and made his own simple spear.

It is not difficult to find curved branches with a moderate diameter. They find a sharp stone, sharpen one end of the branch, get a nearby vine, remove the fibers and merge them into countless strands, and finally use it as a rope to tie the tip to the branch.

The tools are limited, but the simple spear is sharp enough at this time, and it can be used to spear fish without any problems.

They each had one. Chi Yue, who didn't want to spear fish, sat by the stream, took off her shoes and socks and played in the water, watching them pick up their trouser legs, slowly walk to the stream, and keep an eye on the swimming fish.

The tip of the spear was submerged in the water again and again.

The water splashed everywhere, and the cool droplets fell on her arms. She didn't pay attention to it, but followed the position of the spears and watched them stabbing at the fish's belly.

Wen Qizhou, who was about to spear the fourth fish, calculated the distance and the deviation of the water bottom. Under Chi Yunyan's surprised gaze, he accurately speared the spear into the belly of the fish without hesitation.

"Brother-in-law, you are too fast." It took a lot of effort for him to cross two lines, but Wen Qizhou made four crosses in a short time.

"Men can't speak fast." Xie Changxiao said with a smile, despite their gazes, "You have to say he's awesome."

"Yes, yes, amazing."

Chi Yunyan promptly changed his tune.

Wen Qizhou, who was praised, raised his eyebrows slightly, removed the fat fish from the spear, handed it to Chi Yue, and then looked for the fifth one.

At the fifth point, he stopped.

Sitting next to Chi Yue, bathing in the warm sunshine with her: "Yue Yue, shall we eat here tonight?"

"Eat grilled fish?"

"Roasted rabbit would also work."

Chi Yue has no objection.She quietly took out the mini package of seasonings and stuffed them into the pocket of his jacket, saving them for barbecue later.

After Chi Yunyan and Xie Changxiao each forked five fat fish, they took the daggers they carried with them to deal with the fish and hares.

They still followed the old method of skewering whole fish and rabbit meat on branches and grilling them on the fire.

The fish and rabbit meat are roasted until golden brown, and a layer of oil comes out while making a "sizzling" sound.

"Can you eat it?" The aroma spread, Chi Yue's stomach growled, and she stared at the barbecue on the fire without blinking.

"immediately."

Wen Qizhou turned the rabbit skewers over.

After waiting for a minute or two, he put it to his mouth and blew on it, then handed it to Chi Yue: "Eat slowly, be careful not to burn it."

The roasted until golden skin came into view. Chi Yue responded with a warm voice, took the warm branch, blew on it twice more, opened her mouth and took a bite, tasting the pieces of rabbit meat that were charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

Juice overflows in the mouth.

Feeling the smooth and tender texture of the meat, she ate up the meat on the branch without haste, and then picked up a grilled fish.

"There are a lot of fish bones, please be careful." Xie Changxiao, who had just finished eating a fish, reminded them to be careful of the fish bones.

"it is good."

They listened to the sound of gurgling water and ate grilled rabbit and fish unhurriedly, enjoying the rare comfort and tranquility.

When the aroma of the meat dissipated, Chi Yunyan put out the fire, leaving three spears behind, picked up the remaining seven hares and four fat fish, and followed their footsteps to the edge of the forest.

Walking near the RV, he caught sight of a car speeding diagonally in front of him in the direction of the base. He knew who it was without having to guess: "I thought they were going to spend the night in the forest."

Xie Changxiao: "How is that possible?" He took the car keys and got into the driver's seat: "No matter how wild a mandarin duck is, he still has to eat."

"That's true." He got into the passenger seat, took out the cigarette case in his pocket, lit a cigarette, and didn't mention them again.

It was already evening when we returned to the base.

They decided to share the remaining fish and rabbits with others for extra meals. Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou took two fish and two hares to the suggestion hall to find Tan Cong who was about to get off work. Xie Changxiao and Chi Yunyan returned to the residential area. , knocking on the door of Mingzhang and others.

"What are you doing?" Tan Cong took off his work clothes, picked up the thermos cup and walked out of the window, looking at the plastic bags in their hands.

"The fish we just caught outside." Chi Yue handed him the bag containing the fish: "Take it back and make it for Qin Yao to make soup."

Wen Qizhou said: "There are also hares."

Two black plastic bags were handed to his hand, and Tan Cong took a look inside: "So many? Where did you get them?"

Nowadays, supplies are in short supply. Although poultry and aquatic animals are proliferating, they cannot meet the needs of millions of people.

The family can only buy meat twice a week, and the total of the two times cannot exceed four kilograms. Even though his parents are affiliated with the government, they cannot break the rules set by them. At most, they will be given some benefits during holidays.

Now he would be surprised to see them bringing two hares and two fish.

"forest."

"That forest to the east?"

Chi Yue said "hmm".

Tan Cong refused to take the two plastic bags when he heard that they were the prey they had worked so hard to hunt. Chi Yue emphasized that Ge Qinyao was pregnant now and needed to take more nourishment.

"Thank you." Tan Cong noted their friendship for sending the prey here, and said with a smile: "I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"Okay, let's go first." Thinking that he had to rush home to have dinner with his family, Wen Qizhou stopped chatting with him for a long time.

After a brief farewell, the three figures also walked in opposite directions along the two glass plank roads leading to different "donuts".

*
In the six months since the heavy rains stopped, there has been no devastating natural disaster. People have relaxed their vigilance in an environment where there is no need to worry, hoping that the life trapped in one world will come to an end in the near future.

However, it is counterproductive.

On an ordinary dusk, the Golden Crow did not set in the west as usual, but remained motionless in the sky.

It wasn't until nine o'clock that night, when the sun was still able to penetrate the clouds and shine on every building, that they panicked.

The residents came out to the corridor.

The warm sunshine shone on their bodies. They followed the sunshine and looked at the golden crow in the heights, but their hearts felt cold.

"what's going on?"

"Maybe it's polar day." There was a polar night a long time ago. People who didn't understand this phenomenon originally heard about polar day, which is the opposite of polar night, through the base's popular science.

"What does extreme day mean?"

"It will always be bright." Some elderly people who didn't know why asked questions, and some neighbors answered patiently.

"What if the temperature rises?"

"..."

This time, no one could answer him.

They have never experienced extreme daylight, and they don’t know what the real extreme daylight will bring, let alone whether the temperature will rise.

We can only wait for news from the Meteorological Agency.

The inspectors who were checking at any time did not find anything abnormal after sitting for a long time, thinking that it was just an ordinary extreme day.

Who would have guessed──
The temperature will rise little by little when residents enter the room and close the curtains tightly to force themselves to close their eyes and fall asleep.

Finally, it stopped at 47 degrees.
