After breakfast, Wen Xiaoxiao didn’t immediately tell them about her space and the plan to establish a base.
She planned to inform them later in the evening. During the day, she decided to make more cookies, and not just any cookies—cookies with various flavors.
With the black rain outside preventing them from going out, the group felt quite bored. So after finishing their meal, they sat on the sofa for a while, then they went back to their rooms and took a lazy nap.
Bo Yiliang didn’t return to his room but stayed reading a magazine with gusto.
Pei Xi, Cheng Yao, and Cheng Yue, on the other hand, killed their boredom by playing poker in their rooms.
Wen Xiaoxiao went upstairs to the room where the fruits were grown. When she pushed open the door, she found the five children sticking their butts out and picking strawberries.
Their appearance looked funny and a bit comical, with chubby little legs revealing a small portion.
Due to the height of the foam box, they had no choice but to stick their butts up to reach the strawberries.
Wen Mo glanced at the soil in his hands and frowned in disdain.
Compared to him, the other four didn’t care and continued picking strawberries diligently.
Wen Xiaoxiao cleared her throat, finding the sight of the five kids amusing. She asked, “What are you guys doing?”
Wen Heng turned his head and looked at Wen Xiaoxiao. “Mom, we are picking strawberries. Sister wants to eat them.”
“Nonsense, it’s clearly you who wants to eat them.” Wen Bei pouted, staring at Wen Heng fiercely.
Wen Heng felt a bit helpless. It was obviously his sister who wanted to eat them, although he also kind of wants to eat…
“Alright, if you want to eat, just eat! Mom has plenty here.” Wen Xiaoxiao didn’t mind. The strawberries in her space were abundant anyway.
The food produced in her space was stored in the storage room, equipped with a preservation function. It could be kept for a long time without any issues. So in the storage room, there were fruits, vegetables, wheat, and many more.
The variety was countless, including chickens, ducks, fish, geese, and various meat animals like cows, sheep, and pigs.
However, if she wants to save people, a lot of food is needed. Taking advantage of the time available these days, she decided to make more cookies, plant more wheat, and plant more rice. In case she worries about not having enough food later, she opts to grow more wheat and rice.
Wen Xiaoxiao picked some strawberries, grapes, peaches, cherry tomatoes, watermelon, and more.
Then she went to the kitchen, starting to be busy. She shaped the cookies into different forms and gave them various flavors.
Once done, she put them in the oven. It wasn’t long before the air was filled with the aroma of the cookies.
Wen Xiaoxiao washed the fruits one by one and squeezed them in a juicer.
The kitchen table is filled with various bottles and jars, all containing different fruit juices.
After baking the cookies, Wen Xiaoxiao, wearing gloves, took them out carefully. She took a piece and tasted it. She found that the flavor was quite delightful.
A combination of strawberry flavor and milk flavor, sweet and sour, is very delicious.
Compared to the plain cookies she made before, each had its own unique characteristics.
She then continued making cookies with different flavors, one after another, and kept busy in the kitchen.
While they felt bored, Wen Xiaoxiao felt very fulfilled.

Outside, the black rain was falling steadily, and there was almost no one outside except for zombies. Due to the black rain, the zombies lifted their ugly heads to absorb the virus carried by the raindrops.
For zombies, this is a great supplement that can quickly enhance their strength. However, there are only a few zombies that could be upgraded this way.
Wu Xiaoyi looked at the falling black rain outside the window, his brows tightly furrowing. He listened to the zombies’ continuous howls outside.
He was running out of food in his space, barely enough for a week, and that’s considering everyone being half-full.
He originally thought about taking these people to another place with a larger space, at least one warmer than this one.
This place was not only broken but also cold.
It used to be a warehouse, a bit damp and somewhat cold, filled with empty wine bottle boxes.
Beside it was a restaurant, which they had rented.
Sighing, Wu Xiaoyi helplessly looked at the cowering people behind him.
Old and young, all abandoned by others in this community.
The old ones were in their sixties or seventies, and the youngest was five or six years old. The oldest of the kids were about fourteen or fifteen years old.
Fortunately, these kids were quite obedient. Being abandoned children, having someone to take care of them would make them behave properly.
Forget it, wait for a week to pass, maybe the rain will stop.
Wu Xiaoyi could endure hunger, but these old people and children couldn’t.
A few kids huddled together, seeking warmth from each other.
Their clothes were very thin, torn, and dirty, and the original colors were no longer discernible.
They stared out the window, hoping someone would pass by and give them a little help. However, they knew it was impossible.
Their parents heartlessly abandoned them after the apocalypse. If it weren’t for Uncle Wu, they might have either starved to death or been bitten by zombies.
How horrible is that! I’m surprised so many parents would abandon their children; it almost makes Bai Chi’s parents seem like better people, lol. I wonder if Wen Xiaoxiao’s brother is among those children or if he’s hiding at the orphanage he was sent to originally.
Thanks for the chapter! 😀
