After planting, Chen Lang and Mengmeng came over, each carrying a helmet made by Chen Shaonan and wearing a very thick windproof raincoat.

He has been to both of these houses, and nothing happened. He is just young and relatively active. They go to these houses in turns, but they are not annoying. They just talk to people in the living room and do not touch anything.

Gu Pan gave each of them a chocolate: "Have you two grown sweet potatoes?"

Chen Lang nodded: "Well, I don't know if it tastes good. If it's sweet potato, I still like it very much."

Mengmeng also said: "I like roasted sweet potatoes the most. I remember eating them once when I was a child. They were so sweet."

Her memory is not very clear anymore. She was young at that time and a long time passed.

Gu Pan touched Mengmeng's hair: "This may not be as delicious as the one you ate when you were a child, because this variety is different. Normal plants need sunlight, air, moisture, and a long growth cycle, but this one is for us at the base. It fills the stomach, so it grows too fast and loses some nutrients and flavor.”

This is not to discourage the children, but I don’t want them to have too high expectations and be disappointed later, because Lu Jianguo told them before that this food tastes very bad, it only fills the stomach, and it doesn’t have much nutrition.

Now explain the principle to them and let them know that these things are not only for delicious food, but also for survival.

Mengmeng nodded in understanding: "I heard from my father that there is not enough food in the base now. Our family only eats porridge now, not dry rice."

Chen Lang asked Gu Pan: "Sister, if we really don't have enough to eat, do we have to eat mutated animals?"

Gu Pan smiled and asked the two of them to sit down on the sofa: "First of all, I'm not sure if the animals have mutated. Secondly, we have food hidden outside, so we won't be unable to eat."

Chen Lang still had a serious expression on his face: "But our food can't be stored for too many years. What if our food goes bad?"

Gu Pan was confident about this, and his own space was kept fresh, but others didn't know. This was probably what Chen Shaonan and Duan Shumei had worried about before, so Chen Lang heard it.

"Don't worry, we will store good food, and the base is not still developing food. Isn't this sweet potato? It may not be delicious, but it can fill you up, right? There will be others later, so don't worry about it. "Gu Pan couldn't say too much, he could only comfort them like this.

Chen Lang nodded: "Yes, the base always has a way."

Gu Pan looked at the two of them with a smile: "Adults are responsible for these things, so you kids shouldn't think so much."

Chen Lang looked at Gu Pan reluctantly: "Sister, I'm an adult, why do you still treat me like a child?"

This can't be blamed on Gu Pan, because when Gu Pan met them, Chen Lang was just a child, and after the tornado disappeared, they suffered a lot, became frighteningly thin, and looked more like a child.

Mengmeng also said: "I am also a grown child, and I have already killed people."

Gu Pan thought about what Guo Gang said about the time when he and Mengmeng came here, and he really felt sorry for Mengmeng. A ten-year-old child had killed people before. If it wasn't the end of the world, he would just be an elementary school kid who had just started elementary school.

Adults who kill people will have psychological consequences, let alone a child. How much she has endured is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Fortunately, Guo Gang is a soldier and he knows how to educate children.

In fact, it is normal for many people to have problems in their hearts at this time. In a last resort situation, killing is inevitable, but many people do not have psychological counseling. People who grew up in peaceful times do not accept killing mentally, so It's easy to leave shadows.

She stroked Mengmeng's hair: "We are all powerful people, so together, we will definitely be able to defeat the apocalypse."

She didn't need to say much about this, Guo Gang was more experienced than her. Mengmeng nodded: "Well, I also think that many people died on the way we came, and many cities were deserted, but we still arrived at the base, so we will definitely survive."

These are what her father told her, making her understand that today is a society where people cannibalize people. Although she is safe at the base, there are still wolf dens outside, making her feel a sense of crisis at any time.

Lu Ruisheng gave them orange juice: "Don't be sad, drink some orange juice to supplement your vitamins."

He had just heard their conversation and felt that this topic was too depressing. He had said enough, so he made orange juice for them and brought it over.

The two thanked Lu Ruisheng and drank the orange juice happily.

Gu Pan also took it and took a sip: "It's so sweet."

Lu Ruisheng smiled: "I made it, it's naturally sweet."

Chen Lang raised his forehead and said, "Oh my God, I'm going to eat dog food again."

Mengmeng asked in confusion: "Brother Chen Lang, where can I find dog food?"

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng also laughed. If it wasn't the end of the world, would they also have children?

I don't know, although they have never thought about this before, and their previous lives have always gone with the flow, but after all, it is the end of the world that has changed the trajectory of their lives. Not wanting to and not being able are two different things.

The next day, Lu Jianguo came back with a serious expression.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng felt that it might be the mutated animals, and the result should be bad.

Sure enough, Lu Jianguo sat down and rubbed his hands: "It should be more difficult in the future."

Gu Pan asked: "Have all those animals mutated?"

Lu Jianguo nodded: "Well, except for that bucket of fish, which is not sure now and needs to be observed again, the mutated genes have been found in the rest. So today, I want you to draw the location of this fish and let people go there. Bring them all back.”

Gu Pan quickly took a pen and paper and handed it to Lu Ruisheng, who was professional at drawing.

Lu Ruisheng drew the drawings and marked the locations and landmarks on the road.

After Lu Jianguo remembered it clearly, he said to them: "Don't eat casually. What is certain now is that the deep well water in the base is safe. The grain storage and fast food sweet potatoes and algae in the base are safe. The rest I’m not sure now. Although I don’t know whether these contaminated foods are harmful to the human body, they are definitely different from normal foods, so you must not eat them until there is actual data to prove their safety.”

It still takes time to check and verify whether those mutated animals are harmful to the human body, so it is safest not to eat them now.

Gu Pan didn't eat anything from outside, so she quickly nodded and said, "I understand, Dad, we will be careful."

After saying that, she went to the kitchen and took out a small bag of millet and gave it to Lu Jianguo: "Dad, you have to be careful yourself. This rice is safe. You can take it back and eat it."

Lu Jianguo did not answer: "I am the director of the base. There are many people watching everything I eat and use. If I eat this, people will think I am greedy for public good."
