Evil spirits invade, everyone needs to survive, I have a game cheat.

"Do you have cumin?"

"Uncle, what is cumin?"

"Never mind, high-end ingredients only need a little salt."

At the entrance of the Cao family shelter, Cao Fengqi was roasting rat meat, and the rich aroma of the meat spread around.

The two little ones, Da Bao and Xiao Bao, squatted to the side, staring intently at each other, constantly swallowing their saliva.

They hadn't eaten such large pieces of meat for many days.

"Here, hold the bowl properly."

Cao Fengqi looked at the sizzling, oily rat meat and said to the two little ones.

The two immediately picked up their bowls, and Cao Fengqi took a knife and poured the top layer into their bowls: "It's hot, don't eat it yet."

"Whoosh!"

The two little ones nodded and blew in unison.

After blowing on it, Xiao Bao picked up a piece and handed it to Cao Fengqi: "Uncle, you eat first."

"Um?"

Cao Fengqi was a little surprised to see how sensible Xiaobao was. He opened his mouth, took her, smiled, and patted her head: "Xiaobao is so sensible. Dabao, you should learn from her."

Da Bao, who was about to put a piece of meat in his mouth, suddenly looked miserable. He hesitated and reluctantly handed it to him, his face contorted with a pained expression: "Uncle, you... prickly..."

"Your meat is covered in saliva, eat it yourself."

Cao Fengqi said with a disdainful look, then showed off another piece to Xiaobao: "Remember, if you get anything good in the future, remember your uncle."

"Uh-huh."

Da Bao laughed and put the meat directly into his mouth, the little guy giving a very perfunctory reply.

"The taste is indeed very good."

Cao Fengqi had never eaten rat meat before, but this rat was not an earthly rat.

The meat is firm and even more flavorful than beef.

One bite and your mouth will be filled with saliva.

"Hey, Cao Xiao'er's lucky to have gotten to eat rat meat!"

In a nearby shelter, a middle-aged couple came out after smelling the aroma. Their eyes fell on the juicy rat meat, and they swallowed hard.

"Yeah, I was just lucky, there's nothing I can do about it."

Cao Fengqi looked at the two of them, picked up the rat meat from the backpack next to him, shook his head and sighed, "Sigh, today when I entered the Lost Land, I encountered three injured rats in front of me. I deserve to eat meat."

"..."

"Three plague rats?"

The middle-aged couple opened their mouths, their envy undisguised.

In this world of calamity, evil spirits and famine linger.

Although there are lost places, it is extremely difficult to obtain supplies from them.

Especially obtaining food.

Although the Disaster Rats are a species that has existed in the Lost Lands for many years, they are very difficult to find and hunt.

You might not encounter one every few days, and even if you do, a single calamity rat possesses the power to wipe out an ordinary human before the catastrophe.

If it cannot be killed quickly, it will escape.

Wild vegetables became the staple food for every household, and because so many people were searching for them, there was simply not enough for one family to eat.

Three rats weigh at least ten pounds of meat; if eaten sparingly, they're enough to feed a family for a week.

"Aren't you saving this meat to get married? Don't you want a wife anymore?"

Seeing Cao Fengqi's smug look, the woman couldn't help but tease him.

"No, I don't want it."

Cao Fengqi knew that this "woman" wanted to attack his weakness. If it were his predecessor, he would have definitely preserved the meat of the plague rat as a dowry.

But his predecessor is already dead, and he's not a sycophant.

In this world, if Liu Yifei asked him for such a large dowry, he would have dumped her.

"Has this kid changed his ways?"

Upon hearing his words, the woman looked surprised and couldn't help but whisper.

"Maybe this kid almost died last night, so he's given up."

The middle-aged man muttered a reply, glancing at the rat meat: "Go back, go back, it's disgusting to look at."

"This little rascal is just showing off. He was just lucky. Who hasn't eaten dumplings during Chinese New Year?"

The woman said something with a hint of jealousy, and then followed him into the house.

Cao Fengqi watched as his neighbors, the Song couple, went back into their house and chuckled softly.

There's a saying on Earth that's true: if someone drives a luxury car home for the Chinese New Year, half the relatives in the village will hang themselves.

When the eldest son of the Cao family was capable, the Song couple, who were neighbors, were extremely envious.

When people bring them food, they think it's mockery or showing off.

After the eldest son of the Cao family died, these two guys started smiling more often.

Even if they are still not doing well.

This is human nature.

"Uncle, it's good not to have a wife. What's so good about a wife?"

Xiao Bao suddenly said to him at this moment.

Cao Fengqi looked at the clever little girl and smiled, "What do you know, you little rascal?"

When people are well-fed and warm, they think of lustful desires; since he's not full, he naturally doesn't have any such thoughts.

Is it normal for a man to have no other thoughts after eating his fill?

"Uncle, if you want a wife, just give me a little bit of meat, and I'll let Xiaohua be your wife."

Xiao Bao tilted his head and rolled his eyes.

"Where did you get this crazy idea? Hurry up and eat."

Cao Fengqi glared at her, and Xiao Bao shrank back and buried her head in her food.

What the hell is Xiaohua? She's just a three-year-old brat.

Da Bao, oblivious to everything else, was focused solely on eating.

Cao Fengqi was in a good mood as he roasted the rat meat when suddenly he saw something black and cotton-like fall from the sky and melt in the flames.

He looked up at the deep, terrifying sky and reached out to grab a piece of 'black cotton wool'.

"It's snowing? Black snow?"

Cao Fengqi frowned; this was not a good omen.

"Now that I have this cheat code, it's enough for me and my family to stand on our own two feet."

He didn't think much of it and just focused on cooking.

The snow wasn't heavy; it just fell in small, scattered flakes.

The sky darkened quickly, and soon two slightly tired figures approached.

Liu Chunying and Liu Xiuxiu carried two small plastic bags and looked bitterly at their shelter.

"Mom, if the snow gets heavier, it will probably be even more difficult for us to find food."

Liu Chunying glanced at the sky, then at the two people's harvest, and said with a pale face.

The wild vegetables they found and the earthworms they dug up were barely enough to feed one person.

"What about your father-in-law..."

Liu Xiuxiu forced a smile and comforted her, "Perhaps there will be some gains."

Liu Chunying fell silent for a moment, hoping that her one-armed father-in-law would find something unexpected in the lost land.

otherwise...

The two entered the room in silence, when a strong aroma of meat suddenly wafted over.

They were slightly taken aback. The shelter was small, and they could see Cao Fengqi lying there comfortably at a glance.

And... Da Bao and Xiao Bao, who were squatting on either side of Cao Fengqi, massaging his legs.

Liu Chunying and Liu Xiuxiu were too preoccupied with the scene to notice; they couldn't help but ask, "Where's that meaty smell coming from?"

"Xiao Bao, did your grandpa hunt down an evil beast?"

Liu Chunying's eyes lit up, and she asked.

"Mom, Grandpa hasn't woken up yet."

Xiao Bao tilted his head and pointed at the meat on the table: "Uncle caught this! Uncle is amazing, huh!"

"this..."

Liu Chunying turned her head to look, and when she saw the large piece of meat on top, which weighed at least ten pounds and part of it was still steaming hot from being roasted, her face showed astonishment and shock.

"Wind, did you get this?"

Liu Xiuxiu was also pleasantly surprised when she saw it and quickly went over.

"Good luck."

Cao Fengqi grinned and said, "Mom, I baked some for you. You can eat it."

"You child... why did you bake so much? No, we'll just have a little."

Liu Xiuxiu looked at the meat with delight: "There's so much meat, enough for our family to eat for a week."

"..."

Cao Fengqi looked speechlessly at his tired mother, whose face was pale and bloodless: "Just eat what I baked for you."

"No way, how can we possibly finish all this? We..."

"If you're not going to eat it, I'll send it to Wu Qianqian."

"..."

Liu Xiuxiu's smile froze, and Liu Chunying, who was standing next to her, quickly went over and said, "Eat, we've all eaten, we'll eat the ones that weren't grilled."

Cao Fengqi smiled. "So you really want me to rebel?"

"Da Bao, Xiao Bao, come on, you two come and eat too."

Liu Xiuxiu waved to her grandchildren.

"Grandma, I'm already stuffed, I really can't eat anymore."

Da Bao lifted up his shirt to show them his belly and patted it with his hand.

Bang bang ring.

"..."

"Okay, okay."

Are you stuffed?

Liu Xiuxiu felt somewhat helpless; eating like this was such a waste.

But even wasting it is better than giving it to Wu Qianqian.

"Wind, did you obtain these materials?"

At that moment, a voice suddenly came from the second bedroom, accompanied by Cao Jiancheng's figure walking out.

He held the level 2 and level 3 materials that Cao Fengqi had placed on the ground in his hand, and looked at him with a face full of shock and unfamiliarity, asking a question.

He smelled the aroma of meat, then immediately looked at the rat meat on the table, and was stunned again.

"Yes, all of these are what I obtained this time."

Cao Fengqi saw this and nodded slightly.

"this?"

Cao Jiancheng was somewhat dazed and couldn't believe that his son had obtained this. He felt a sense of unfamiliarity with it.

Even he himself didn't earn this much in a month.

"Jiancheng, come quick, come eat meat!" Liu Xiuxiu waved to him.

"You guys eat, I'm not very hungry."

Cao Jiancheng shook his head slightly, looking somewhat dazed.

"If you don't eat it, your son will be sent to Wu Qianqian."

Liu Chunying said something to him.

"..."

Cao Jiancheng became a little anxious upon hearing this and immediately went over: "Then I'll eat something."

He glanced at his son, who was lounging like Ge You, and the unfamiliarity in his eyes disappeared.
