Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

“Are there fish here?”

Cheng Qi had a look of surprise on his face, and the people who came back behind him also expressed their feelings one after another.

I thought I could only eat some wild vegetables this time, but I didn’t expect to be able to eat fish.

Fish is meat too!

Shen Yao raised her hand and pointed outside, "There are many small puddles here, and we can still come here to fish for a few days."

Such a long section of the river is surrounded by puddles of various sizes.

They didn't bring many fishing tools today, but they had a great harvest. If they bring more sophisticated and handy tools tomorrow, I can't imagine what the scene will be like.

Cheng Qi helped Shen Yao to sit down. He came to Shen Yao's side and lamented that he had little vacation time and had to go to work in the patrol team tomorrow, so he couldn't go out.

Shen Yao waved her hand, indicating that Shen Yu was there, and as long as they didn't go into the forest, one man was enough.

Cheng period:......

Cheng Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but this also indirectly showed that the area around the collection point they chose was safe and there was no danger, otherwise he would never let Shen Yao go out no matter what.

"By the way, you always said it was dangerous outside, what's going on?"

Shen Yao tilted her head and whispered, then looked at Cheng Qi's changing expression.

Hiss, isn't he too fearless? This person is trying to hide something, and no one can find out.

Shen Yao complained that Cheng Qi did a good job of saving face, but Cheng Qi didn't know that he was evaluated like this in his wife's mind. He thought for a moment and mentioned the "beast tide".

Beast tide?

"That should be what happens often during the cold season." During the long cold season, there is no food source, and the hungry beasts will go crazy and attack the base.

Situations like this will be classified as beast tides by the base.

There are always several beast tides of varying sizes in the Dawn Base during the cold season every year. The base will not be actually breached by wild beasts, but there will definitely be casualties.

As for the cold season that just passed... Shen Yao suddenly realized that she seemed to have never heard any noise from the beast tide. From the beginning to the end, no wild beasts came to cause trouble, only unrest within the base.

Shen Yao:......

Cheng Qi shrugged his shoulders and said, "The base hasn't officially announced that the danger has been lifted.

We have been staying on the edge of the base recently, just in case."

What is just in case? Of course, it is to be able to run back to the base in time when trouble occurs. If you go too far to collect, there is a 90% chance that you will become food for wild beasts.

Shen Yao scratched his chin and asked hesitantly, "Does the base think there will be another beast tide?" Even though the cold season is over.

Cheng Qi nodded, "The beast tide will not disappear. There is a food shortage in the cold season, and it is impossible to grow enough food quickly in the warm season."

The most likely scenario is an attack on the base. Most of the people in the base are ordinary people, and the mutant beasts are eating them one bite at a time, just like eating normal snacks.

Shen Yao sighed, "The delivery rate of the collection points around the base is too low."

Apart from the river, there is still something to eat, and the only other thing that can be dug is the small bamboo forest. The rest of the food cannot be filled by relying on wild vegetables alone.

"Wait a few more days, the longer the safer," because people only get hungry when the cold season just comes to an end.

As the mild season continues to warm up, herbivores will slowly grow back to their original size. The mild season is also the mating season for animals, so the total number of animals increases, which can enrich the food source.

Shen Yao leaned in Cheng Qi's arms, constantly asking herself what was going on with the system.

The explanation given by the system was similar to Cheng Qi's. Now the base was fat meat in the eyes of wild beasts, and a bite would be an easy task.

The difference lies in how big the bite is and when you bite it.

…………

The car drove back to the base, and everyone took their own supplies. The wolf carcasses and furs that were sold were exchanged for points and distributed according to their contribution.

Shen Yao's watch buzzed, and she clicked it to see that she had earned some points.

In the end, only one-third of the fish in the basket were left. This was the number that Cheng Ma and Song Ling had left behind because they saw that Shen Yao was inconvenienced.

Instructing Cheng Qi to clean up the fish and freeze them, Shen Yao hung the washed wild vegetables in the yard and took the edible parts to stir-fry.

In Area B at night, not only was there the smell of food coming from Shen Yao's house, but also from several of the surrounding neighbors, where every household was stewing meat.

It seems that everyone has a trump card, and living in Area B is the biggest confidence.

Cheng Qi filled a bowl of the cooked fish soup and brought it to Shen Yao.

Shen Yao picked up the bowl and spoon and took a sip. The seasoning covered up the fishy smell of the river fish very well and highlighted the freshness of the river fish.

Delicious!

Cheng Qi also scraped off all the fish bones, leaving only the fish meat in Shen Yao's bowl.

After eating several bowls to fill her stomach, Shen Yao licked the corner of her lips and indicated that she would continue to eat fish tomorrow.

"I'm not going there tomorrow. You go with mom and the others. Take all the fish cages and fishing nets from home with you."

Although I can't help with strength, I can make up for it in other aspects.

Shen Yao nodded twice, telling Cheng Qi to relax. She would definitely not put herself in danger. The most dangerous person in the family now was her biological father Shen Jiancheng.

After all, he is a driver and he has to leave the base every day without fail.

When they came back in the evening, Shen Yao and Song Ling chatted and found out that the routes Shen Jiancheng was currently assigned to were all quite far from the base, and if anything happened, rescue would be in time.

"I'll find a way with Dad," Cheng Qi cleared the dishes on the table, "There are many lines around the base, and there are not enough drivers. It's not difficult to change a few lines."

It's not like we're asking other people to die, we're just temporarily cancelling the routes that are farther and harder to travel. I believe the bus terminal won't mind so much.

Cheng Qi is a man of his words and reliable. In addition, Shen Jiancheng also has some connections (mainly because he is willing to give out points and benefits). The people at the bus terminal discussed it privately and directly announced that several routes would be temporarily cut.

As for when it will be restored? Wait for them to notify.

"Hey, the people at the bus terminal have the final say. As long as the higher-ups don't ask, they'll keep pressing on."

Song Ling didn't know the conduct of the bus terminal, but Shen Jiancheng dealt with them frequently and knew them almost completely.

Anyway, most of the people who took the bus there were ordinary people in the base. No matter how much they complained, they could not report it to the top management of the base.

The window paper cannot be broken, so the bus terminal has nothing to worry about and the drivers running these routes will also be safe.

"It's better to hold it down. I heard from Cheng Qi that there are always roars of beasts outside.

Dad has to drive in and out of the base every day. If he is close, we can discuss things. If he is far away, we can only pray for luck and survive.

Shen Yao still remembers what happened in Changle Town. Those mutant beasts were so smart that if they were not covered in wild beast shells, one would have suspected that they were humans in disguise.

"That's true. Your father always told me to stay close to the base for safety," Song Ling held the freshly picked shepherd's purse in her hand, tied it into a bundle and threw it into the backpack.

"Dad is out every day and knows more than us," Shen Yao tried to persuade Song Ling and then asked about Shen Yu's marriage.

Song Ling's face was visibly happy, "We are just waiting for the two families to meet and discuss the gift.

We are still looking for a house in District B. Your father and I think it’s okay if we can’t find one. We can rent a house first.” The “rent” here refers to the two elderly people, Song Ling and Shen Jiancheng, who are planning to give their own house to the young couple.

In fact, these were the conditions we agreed to when we first started dating.

In Song Ling's eyes, Shen Yu's marriage is a very difficult matter. As long as the woman is promising and the conditions are not too excessive, the Shen family can accept them.

After hearing this, Shen Yao thought of the short-term rental housing at the base. Although it was also in Area B, it would be hard for Song Ling to let a group of strangers and unfamiliar people live together, as she did not want to suffer any loss.

"Cheng Qi and I will help keep an eye on the house," Shen Yao lowered her head and plucked a handful of wild vegetables, silently throwing away the highly mutated plants and stuffing the rest into the backpack, "There seems to be a patch of water celery in front."

"Water celery? It tastes best when fried with eggs," Song Ling rushed over, and when she saw that it was really water celery, she happily dug it back and forth.

Shen Yao walked forward carrying the backpack. They did not act together today, but stayed alone by the river to dig wild vegetables and catch fish. However, there have been quite a few people by the river in the base these days, and there was a group of people looking for wild duck eggs in the reed marsh in front, so the mother and daughter did not get much.

Shaking the backpack in her arms, Shen Yao simply called on the system for help.

Song Ling found that her luck was particularly good in the afternoon and she could always come across patches of high-quality wild vegetables.

After filling the backpacks they brought, Song Ling and Shen Yao started to walk back.

When they were just a few dozen meters away from the base gate, the two heard footsteps behind them.

Turning around, I saw a group of people running away, tumbling and crawling.

Song Ling: ...Hmm?

"This is not here, why are you running?" he said subconsciously.

Before anyone could answer, Song Ling staggered and almost fell down because of being pulled by Shen Yao.

"Mom, something must have happened back there, let's get back to the base."

They were afraid that if they returned too late, the base gate would be closed, and they would not be able to climb up the tall and strong walls outside. If they were left in the wild, they would be dead.

Song Ling came back to her senses and grabbed Shen Yao's wrist. She looked at her daughter nervously, "Hurry up and give me the backpack."

She had to run while pregnant, with a backpack weighing dozens of kilograms on her shoulders.

Song Ling felt so distressed that she stretched out her hand, wanting to pick up the backpack herself.

Shen Yao refused and looked forward. While they were talking, they had already run more than ten meters. If they persisted a little longer, they would reach the base in less than a minute.

"Mom, I'm fine. It will be chaotic if we go in. Let's go home first."

Shen Yao was afraid that Song Ling would drag her to the hospital. Seeing the big commotion afterwards, it would be strange if the hospital wasn't busy today.

When there are too many people around, things tend to go wrong. Shen Yao didn't want to delay a matter that could be solved with a pill until she had endless examinations.

Song Ling: …

Song Ling really wanted to take Shen Yao to the hospital, even if she didn't need to be hospitalized, just to get some pregnancy-preserving medicine. But what happened? At this point, Song Ling couldn't complain anymore and swallowed her words silently. The two of them quickly lined up to enter and went straight to Area B.

People on the road were in a hurry, and it was obvious that the situation outside had affected the inside.

Shen Yao and Song Ling walked out of the aftershadow just to get home earlier.

Rumbling--

The cannon placed at the door was activated as usual. Shen Yao looked up and behind him and took a breath.

"Girl, are you okay?" Song Ling said with concern, her hands unconsciously supporting the other person.

"Mom, let's go home," Shen Yao shook her head, turned around and continued forward.

The two of them returned home in a shorter time than usual, threw the backpack in the yard, and sat on the ground to catch their breath.

The watch kept buzzing, Shen Yao clicked it, and the first message that popped up was the message from Cheng Qi.

"There are mutant beasts attacking ordinary people in the wild, forming a beast tide and heading towards the base."

"Have you gone home? Don't go out, and don't open the door to anyone who comes."

"We have received an order to conduct a field rescue. Please collect your belongings at home and be safe."

"If you're scared, go to mom's place. Dad is at home today, and big brother is staying at the base."

"..."

The messages were filled with messages from Cheng Qi, who mentioned at the end that Cheng's mother was very worried about her and asked her to come over and not to be embarrassed.

Shen Yao opened other messages, including those from Cheng Ma, Zhao Xue, Shen Yu and Shen Jiancheng.

Turning her head, Song Ling was also browsing the messages on the watch in front of her.

Shen Yao hurriedly asked about Shen Yu and Shen Jiancheng. They were the only two people on her side who cared about her content, and she had not received a reply yet.

"Your father is at the base, your brother is in the hospital, they are all safe."

Song Ling rubbed her face and tried hard to force a smile, but her face was pale and she didn't look happy at all.

Shen Yao felt that there was something fishy going on. After repeated questioning, she still couldn't get accurate information from Song Ling, so she had no choice but to give up.

She stood up, poured a glass of honey water and handed it to Song Ling. Shen Yao found an opportunity to secretly take a pill to stabilize her uncomfortable body.

The pill was very effective. It took effect as soon as it entered the body and also made Shen Yao's tense body more relaxed.

"My daughter, if you're okay, I'll go back first. There are some things at home that I'm going to confiscate," Song Ling stood up, rubbed her palms and prepared to leave.

Shen Yao tried to persuade her to stay, but Song Ling was too determined to leave, so Shen Yao had no choice but to let her go.

"System, is my dad and his family in trouble?" Song Ling was in a bad mood.

"Host, Shen Yu is injured," the system sent back a picture of Shen Yu lying unconscious in the hospital with a bandage on his head.

Shen Yao:……? !!!

Shen Yao put one hand on her chest, turned around, took out another pill and put it into her mouth.

"What happened? Shen Yu didn't go out this afternoon. He accompanied them to fish for a while in the morning, and went to the hospital to find a partner in the afternoon."

Did something happen at the hospital? Was Shen Yu implicated?

"I was accidentally injured while rescuing someone, but it's not a big deal," the system scanned Shen Yu's body and explained that this happened at the same time as they ran back.

Shen Yao:......

As expected, it takes time to be a hero and save a beauty. Shen Yu was not well prepared and almost got himself into trouble.

Song Ling didn't tell her just now because she was afraid of affecting her pregnancy.

'My mother went to the hospital?'

The mild season had just begun a few days ago, and the three members of the Shen family, two of whom were big eaters, were thankful that the little they picked could fill their stomachs, so there was no need for Song Ling to do any extra cleaning.

Her mother made an excuse to go to the hospital to take care of someone, which seemed quite thoughtful. However, she didn't realize that Shen Yao saw loopholes everywhere.

"Yes, it will be here in a little while."

The hospital is located between Area C and Area B, with the inspection team and the research institute on the left and right sides respectively.

Now the hospital was full of people inside and outside, and Shen Yu was arranged to stay in a corner, all alone, looking very pitiful.
