"Hmm? What's that smell? It's so fragrant!"

In the early morning, Ji Ruxue, who was originally asleep, suddenly smelled a fragrance entering her nostrils, waking her up from her slumber.

Gulp~

Smelling the enticing aroma, Ji Ruxue instinctively swallowed her saliva, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar with this scent.

After sitting up from the bed, her eyes, like searchlights, scanned the surroundings constantly, trying to locate the source of this fragrance.

Lu Chuan, busy in the kitchen, came over holding a bowl of meat porridge.

The rich aroma filling the room was precisely from the bowl of meat porridge in Lu Chuan's hands.

Ji Ruxue's eyes widened instantly upon seeing it.

"What... what is this?!"

"Today, we're not eating fried rice with egg?!"

Looking at the deliciously fragrant meat porridge, Ji Ruxue felt an urge to cry for a moment.

No wonder she felt both familiar and unfamiliar with this aroma; it had been a long time since she last smelled the fragrance of meat.

After being reborn, she lived on milk powder every day. As she grew older, she could only eat fried rice with egg. Ji Ruxue was almost numb from it.

The long-lost aroma of meat made Ji Ruxue's saliva involuntarily secrete.

Glossy, fragrant, sticky rice grains mingled with tender meat slices, just seeing it made one's mouth water.

Taking the spoon from her dad's hands, she began to gobble it down.

"It's delicious! Boohoo~ This is what people should be eating. What kind of days was I living before!"

Eating the sweet meat porridge filled Ji Ruxue's heart with happiness.

In the post-apocalyptic world, being able to have a meal was already an incredible fortune.

Having such hot and delicious meat porridge was an incredibly luxurious experience.

The sweet meat porridge entered her stomach, and Ji Ruxue felt a surge of energy throughout her body.

The tender meat slices from the mutated animals were succulent with every bite, like the most delicious delicacy in the world!

It had been a long time since Ji Ruxue had eaten such delicious porridge. For a moment, she gobbled it up like a storm sweeping away the clouds.

In no time, she had finished the entire large bowl of porridge.

"Dad! I want more!"

Ji Ruxue excitedly lifted the large bowl in front of her, holding it up to Lu Chuan with anticipation.

But Lu Chuan shook his head, not letting the little one continue eating.

Before, in the city, Lu Chuan had seen a survivor, extremely weak from hunger, become energetic and full of life the next day after eating cooked mutated giant python meat.

Little Qiqi is still young, and Lu Chuan worried that eating too much of this mutated animal meat would be too much for her.

Besides, in Lu Chuan's view, this was the first time the little one had eaten meat, and he worried that she wouldn't know when to stop because she hadn't had it before. He worried that if she ate too much and hurt her stomach, it wouldn't be worth it.

Seeing the little one still full of anticipation, Lu Chuan could only take out a pen and paper.

"Don't worry; Dad made a lot of meat for you. I promise you'll have meat every day from now on."

"But you must promise Dad to control your portions, don't overeat and hurt yourself."

Seeing the note left by Lu Chuan, a hint of disappointment flashed in Ji Ruxue's eyes.

She thought she could have another feast, but she didn't expect she could only have one bowl.

"Oh, heavens, why was I reborn as a baby? I can't even eat meat porridge freely..."

Although she was a bit unhappy for not being able to continue eating, Ji Ruxue's heart was actually very satisfied.

After all, in such a devastated and resource-scarce world, having a bowl of hot meat porridge felt like a godly life.

For instance, Zhao Lin, who is an Evolver, had difficulty even getting enough to eat during the apocalypse.

After being brought to Sunshine District by her dad, it was the most carefree time Zhao Lin had since the apocalypse.

And Ji Ruxue also saw the note her dad left for her.

Dad was worried she would eat too much and overstuff herself.

Thinking of having meat every day in the future, Ji Ruxue's heart was filled with anticipation.

Having meat every day, this is how life should be!

No!

This is practically a heavenly life!

Ji Ruxue remembered her past life's self during this time; back then, she was struggling desperately for survival.

Not to mention moving from Sunshine District all the way to Qingshui Farm, just being able to walk a few more blocks safely was satisfactory.

As for a life like now, Ji Ruxue never dared to imagine it before; it was too carefree.

And so, Lu Chuan and Ji Ruxue gradually settled into their life at Qingshui Farm.

During this time, Lu Chuan controlled a large number of Corpse Puppets to inspect every inch of Qingshui Farm, eliminating any potential threats within.

So Lu Chuan no longer restricted the little one's actions, letting her play freely within the farm's perimeter.

Now, not only did he have second-tier Corpse Puppets, but he also had a third-tier Corpse Puppet.

With such formidable strength, Lu Chuan didn't believe anything could breach his defenses.

After stabilizing Qingshui Farm, Lu Chuan continued dispatching Corpse Puppets to the nearest city district from Qingshui Farm, which was Jiangnan City District, the southern part of Jianghai City.

Lu Chuan searched for other Evolved Zombies while continuing to collect various supplies, also gathering information about the city's southern area's environment.

As Lu Chuan controlled Corpse Puppets to patrol the city, suddenly, the Corpse Puppet guarding near the fish pond signaled a new disturbance.

Why was Little Qiqi at the fish pond!

Lu Chuan was shocked; the Old Turtle had been living underwater, rarely surfacing, causing him to almost overlook the mutated animal in the pond.

This Old Turtle had an incredibly strong bite force, which Lu Chuan had witnessed before; it could easily crush a Corpse Puppet's bones.

Little Qiqi appearing here was extremely dangerous; given her small size, the mutated turtle in the pond could easily kill her with just one move.

Seeing this from a Corpse Puppet's perspective, Lu Chuan was terrified, not daring to delay, and quickly ran towards the pond.

Quickly arriving at the pond, Lu Chuan immediately grabbed Ji Ruxue and retreated to a safe distance.

Then he took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote, "Little Qiqi, there's danger near the pond; you can't play here. You can play elsewhere."

Compared to the anxious Lu Chuan, Ji Ruxue remained very calm.

After being picked up by her dad, she still pointed at the pond calmly.

In the pond, there was now a large turtle shell.

Ji Ruxue then said to the Old Turtle basking in the water, "Dad, I want to keep this Old Turtle as a pet!"
