Cambrian Returns: A Couple Stocks Up to Survive in the End of the World!

"This matter about your mother is over. Just pay more attention to her in the future. You can't bring your personal emotions to work. It's a small thing to offend others. You are afraid of losing your life in danger. You said your parents are so... It will cause trouble, can they survive without you?"

"I know, brother, I won't do it again."

Is the eldest brother here to comfort himself or to intimidate him?
  Should I threaten you first and then give me a sweet date?

This date is not sweet at all.

Two days later, on New Year's Eve, it happened to be the time for reunion in the evening. It was the time when Zhou Jiaoyang and Yan Jin were responsible for patrolling.

In order for the family to have a reunion dinner together, the Yan family had a reunion dinner at three o'clock in the afternoon, and the two of them took over to patrol at four o'clock.

Because it was Chinese New Year, I didn’t take Xiaohan with me this time.

.........

"What did you see? Are there a large number of mutant beasts coming?"

As soon as Yan Jin regained his mental strength, he heard his wife asking him something. Seeing her worried face, he shook his head, "No."

"Then why are you frowning?"

"A lot of people stopped below our unit building."

"What's going on? This time should be the time for the family reunion dinner, isn't it?" Zhou Jiaoyang thought of that possibility.

"It's so ostentatious. Now many people don't have enough to eat, but the smell of delicious food can be heard from upstairs."

In the past, the big canteen was on the top of the building, and the aroma wafted up into the air, and only a faint aroma spread downstairs. Now that there are more people cooking, the smell is naturally richer.

"Then what should we do? We can't let the big canteen open again, right?"

"Go, go back."

When the two of them reached the downstairs of the unit, there were more people here, and the stairway was blocked.

"Let let, let let."

Yan Jin shouted from behind everyone.

"Who are you? First come, first served, do you understand?" The man muttered before he could see who was coming.

Others also turned around with approval to see who was so expressionless, but when they saw it was Yan Jin, someone recognized them.

They are both from the same community, so naturally someone knows them both.

"Hey, isn't this Captain Yan? Are you back from patrol?"

Yan Jin nodded to the man, and then looked at the group of people blocking the stairs.

"Everyone, please stop blocking the road. Captain Yan is going home."

When everyone heard that there was nothing they didn't understand, Captain Yan lived in this unit building, and they all got out of the way.

The bold one, who was not afraid of Yan Jin's cold face, hurriedly asked before the two of them went upstairs: "Captain Yan, you don't know whose family is making delicious food upstairs. It smells so good. We are all hungry."

"Today is New Year's Eve. It's the New Year. Isn't it normal to cook a delicious meal? Don't you have one at home?" Yan Jin looked at the person who asked the question.

The smile on the man's face faltered. Today's food at his house was certainly richer than usual, but it wasn't as delicious as here.

He smiled awkwardly and said: "Yes, why not? Although things are not as good as before, we still can't forget the customs of the older generation. We still have to prepare a few decent dishes during the New Year."

"You are right, then I wish you all a Happy New Year."

After the two of them went upstairs and walked farther, someone below said: "He is indeed the strongest person in the Soaring Mercenary Team. I heard those with super powers say that Captain Yan's super powers are very high."

Someone answered and asked: "How high is it?"    "Does Zhang Qiang in the community know?"

"Who doesn't know about Zhang Qiang? He moved into our community two months ago. I heard that he is a level four fire power user."

"It's him. Even Zhang Qiang, who is at level [-], can't tell Captain Yan's level of superpowers. How high do you think Captain Yan's level is?"

"Isn't that level seven or above?"

"It means level seven or above. It may not necessarily be level eight."

"Then do you think the fragrance coming from upstairs comes from the homes of members of the Soaring Mercenary Team?"

"It must be true. You have to know that nowadays food is linked to ability. Alas. Originally, I wanted to go upstairs to see whose house the scent was coming from, and to sit there as a guest, but I won't go now."

It was too strong and he didn’t dare to provoke it.

"It's too late, I should go back and rest."

"I'm leaving too."

As one person left, many more people left one after another, and finally they were all gone.

After Yan Jin returned home, he kept mentally observing the situation below. He was quite surprised to see that they were all gone. He did not expect that when his identity was revealed, it would have such a big effect, which made him worry in vain.

In the second half of the year, the news that crystal nuclei can help cultivation was exposed. Zhou Jiaoyang and Yan Jin entered the X city base with a cart of food.

When I arrived at the base, I first went to the base management hall to rent a stall with a pound of grain, and then drove to the stall.

The two of them did not take out the grain, but placed a wooden sign on top of the stall, with the words "grain exchange for crystal nuclei" written on it.

As soon as the two arrived, someone noticed the small truck behind them. As soon as the wooden sign was placed, someone stepped forward to look at the sign. When they saw what was written on it, the scene immediately became noisy.

A dark-skinned young man standing at the front asked: "Is what you wrote on this true?"

Zhou Jiaoyang smiled and nodded, "Of course."

"Then what kind of food do you have? Why don't you take out the food and put it on the table?"

"We have rice, flour, and cornmeal. Do you have any crystal nuclei? If so, you can exchange them with us. Then you will be able to see the grain."

Why don't you bring out the food? You can tell by the excitement in the eyes of these people at the scene. They are afraid of being robbed later.

"How can we exchange ideas?" the black guy asked excitedly.

Although the crystal core can improve the power level, without the crystal core, he can still go hunting, but he has not eaten delicious rice for almost a year, and now even if there are seeds, it is difficult to grow food. .

The survival rate is too low.

"A second-order crystal core can be exchanged for one kilogram of rice or one pound of flour, a third-order crystal core can be exchanged for five kilograms, and a fourth-order crystal core can be exchanged for thirty kilograms."

Nowadays, there are fourth-level mutant beasts or mutant trees, but there are very few of them. Even if someone hunts them, others will not exchange them.

The level of the first-order crystal core is too low, so Zhou Jiaoyang will not accept it here.

The second-order crystal core is barely enough.

There are many second- and third-level mutant beast mutation trees now, which are easy to obtain for anyone with superpowers. It is also the easiest crystal core to obtain on the market.

The black guy immediately took out the two third-order crystal cores that had not been absorbed by him and sent them to Zhou Jiaoyang, "Bring me ten kilograms of rice."

Zhou Jiaoyang immediately shouted to the small truck behind him: "A Jin, ten kilograms of rice."

Yan Jin climbed into the car and waited when the black guy asked.
