Protagonist:

Shen Yao

After reacting, Shen Yao quickly woke the others, turning on lamps with faint light in the first floor lobby.

Because the surroundings were an enclosed environment and even the windows were covered by curtains, the light inside did not shine out much.

Quietly explaining the situation outside, Shen Yao pointed to the beekeeping suits not far away, "I and Chengyan will go out once."

There were originally few people at home who could move, and strength and safety had to be considered, so Shen Yao and Wei Chengyan stood out.

Seeing this, Wei Minzhi wanted to replace Wei Chengyan and have her wear the beekeeping suit to go out; after all, she was the one who wanted to collect insects and could not push the work onto Wei Chengyan, a child.

Wei's mother and Wei's father also wanted to go out; they were both not young anymore, and if something happened, they were more worthwhile than others.

Shen Yao:...

"No need to argue anymore, wait for us to return," she said, then reached out and patted Wei Chengyan's arm, and the two hurried to put on the beekeeping suits.

Taking advantage of the pitch-black darkness outside where nothing could be seen, the two went out carefully; in less than ten minutes, they returned carrying several hemp sacks.

The insects crawling on the beekeeping suits were still moving, and Wei's father and others pressed them to death and threw them into the hemp sacks.

"Take out the oven and dryer; we need to hurry," the insects outside were dense as far as the eye could see, and Shen Yao planned to collect another batch while there was still time.

Wei Minzhi had already moved the oven out, cleaned it, and then opened the hemp sacks.

The insects inside the hemp sacks twisted in various ways, some dead and some alive, enough to drive anyone with obsessive-compulsive disorder crazy.

Wei Minzhi also felt a bit nauseous, but she endured it; even though she wore gloves, she was still frightened and uncomfortable by that inexplicable touch.

Silently throwing all the insects into the oven, then turning on the switch, watching the insects inside gradually become golden yellow and tender, Wei Minzhi's mindset slowly calmed down.

Others were not idle either; they hurried to help Shen Yao and Wei Chengyan clean the insects off their bodies, then took over the returned hemp sacks to bake insects and grind them into powder.

Even Wei Chengning and Wei Chengen ran over to help; the whole family gathered in the first floor lobby.

Shen Yao hurried to close her eyes and rest her mind, waiting for the net bags outside to be filled, then went out with Wei Chengyan again to collect insects.

Repeating this several times, not to mention anything else, just the number of hemp sacks piled up in the first floor lobby was quite optimistic.

Finally able to take off the heavy beekeeping suit, Shen Yao touched her sweat-soaked clothes and hurried to take a hot bath.

Wei Chengyan was strong and healthy, and with Shen Yao helping him cook special meals daily, there was no need to worry about his physique.

"Don't go out for these two days; see the situation; the house can't hold too much."

These insects looked strange and bizarre, and their mouthparts had anesthetic properties; if accidentally bitten, half the body would go numb.

When Shen Yao was packing hemp sacks earlier, she accidentally got too close to an insect; fortunately, there were pills produced by the system, otherwise she would have collapsed outside waiting for relief.

Wei Chengyan had no such worries; his physical quality was exceptionally strong, and Shen Yao had intentionally or unintentionally cultivated Wei Chengyan in martial arts over these years; the combined effect made it very difficult for Wei Chengyan to fall ill.

Reminding Wei's father and others to bring several more layers of masks, Shen Yao returned to her room and finally slept soundly.

The windows had long been sealed, and thick plastic cloth was wrapped outside; even if those insects had eight pairs of wings, it would be very difficult for them to fly in.

Not worrying at all about waking up surrounded by insects, Shen Yao relaxed her mind; by the time her body recovered, it was already afternoon.

The first floor lobby was still bustling with baking insects, grinding powder, and packing bags.

During the time Shen Yao slept, Wei Chengyan went out in her place and collected two more batches of nets, adding more hemp sacks of insects to the lobby.

Now it seemed enough; if they continued packing, not to mention what the villa would smell like, the occupied space would hardly be left.

Shen Yao came downstairs from upstairs, walked to Wei Minzhi's side, and instructed to collect the net two more times, then directly give up.

Wei Minzhi did not hesitate at all; looking at the insect bodies filling the area around the lobby, she estimated in her heart that so much insect protein would be enough for those chickens and ducks to eat for more than half a year.

Thanks to sister-in-law and nephew's nimble hands, otherwise they could not have packed so many insects.

Shen Yao smiled and waved her hand without saying more; she walked to the window, looking at the dense layers of insect bodies outside, feeling goosebumps rise all over.

"System, do you feel it? There is spiritual energy," although it was negligible, spiritual energy was spiritual energy, a completely new system distinct from other energies.

"After waiting so long, I finally waited for it," I thought it would take longer, but it was only a few years, much better than Shen Yao expected.

"Host, what do you plan to do? Directly spread the martial arts manuals you have?" The system felt this did not match the host's usual style.

"No, just hurry to cultivate the three children, especially Chengyan; after entering the military academy, he needs a good physique to adapt," Shen Yao thought that relying on this bit of spiritual energy, even if she took out martial arts manuals, they would be useless; it was better to switch to martial arts secret manuals, combined with pills to strengthen the body and follow the qi and blood path; later, when spiritual energy was rich, they could switch tracks.

Secretly planning, Shen Yao did not tell the system in detail, but found an opportunity to tell Wei Chengyan the usage and dosage of the pills she made.

Shen Yao used the name of the Planting Building; the Planting Building not only planted grain crops but also some novel medicinal herbs.

After the planet evolved, wild medicinal herbs were especially precious, and more functional effects appeared.

Wei Chengyan trained at the military academy; physical quality was the first standard.

After three days, when the insects outside left, Wei Chengyan carried a small package back to the military academy.

The others at home spent time sending the hemp sacks full of insect protein to other residences for storage; the days passed safely like this.

Daily minor disasters could no longer attract their attention; everyone seemed used to this life rhythm; only when a few mutated beasts occasionally rushed in did it become what the people of Hope City feared most.

However, it was not easy for mutated beasts to rush in; since the military factory accidentally developed a weapon that was remarkably effective against mutated beasts, they continued to research and innovate, making this weapon flourish.

The mutated beasts grew weaker the more they fought; where would they dare to rush to Hope City without regard for their lives?

The updating and replacement of weapons led to a reversal of the situation between mutated beasts and Hope City; Hope City began to expand outward continuously, compressing the living space of mutated beasts, while mutated beasts had to keep retreating to ensure their survival.

When Wei Chengyan turned twenty, he graduated smoothly from the military academy and joined the Official Army with excellent results, directly undertaking the most dangerous and highest-return mission of leaving the city to reclaim wasteland.

In one experience after another of brushing past the god of death, Wei Chengyan grew rapidly; the pills and martial arts secret manuals Shen Yao produced were also spread and flourished through his hands.

Wei Chengyan became a legendary figure among the younger generation, his fame not inferior to those accomplished elders.

The Wei Family also gained a layer of gold because of Wei Chengyan's existence.

Shen Yao and Wei Mingyu's positions were smoothly transferred; all were jobs with little work and high pay; thanks to whose light, no need to say, everyone would understand.

Even Wei Chengning and Wei Chengen, who were still in school, had their placements arranged by school teachers before graduation; fortunately, they both were promising; the methods Shen Yao used on Wei Chengyan worked on them as well.

Whether they chose to join the official forces in the future or privately form a squad to act, Shen Yao would not stop them; she simply did her best to lay a solid foundation for them and unleash the potential within their bodies to the maximum.

Wei's father, Wei's mother, and Wei Minzhi, three people who had always stayed at home, received the least care but were also the group that experienced the changes most obviously.

Including Wei Minzhi's breeding farm, which was small and had not yet expanded in scale, but the chickens, ducks, geese, and various eggs sold from it were all in high demand.

This is what the proverb says: when one person attains the Dao, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

The Wei family did not rely on Wei Chengyan's ability to act tyrannically and ruin their reputation; they still strictly demanded of themselves and tried not to encroach on others' survival space.

Leave a line when doing things, so you can meet again in the future. Although this saying does not suit this kind of apocalyptic natural disaster, the elderly's good intentions are precious, and Shen Yao and the others did not want to let them down.

…………

It was another ordinary morning; Wei Minzhi got up, glanced at the chickens, ducks, and geese in the backyard outside, fed them some food, and then immediately poured a drum of water.

Now the place they lived had changed again; it was no longer the previous villa, nor the earlier suburb, but a new residence with a large area where they could build houses and plant and breed freely all around, and all this was thanks to the abilities of their good nephew Wei Chengyan.

Wei Minzhi did not think there was anything wrong with eating soft rice; they were all one family, helping each other, and everyone did as much as they were capable of; she did not feel guilty or embarrassed at all.

Wei's mother and Wei Minzhi were just a step apart; seeing that Wei Minzhi had already fed the chickens, ducks, and geese in the backyard, she hurried to the front courtyard to dig up several vegetables to come back and cook.

Now the family's meals were really good; they could eat plenty of meat, eggs, and milk, and occasionally when Wei Chengyan came back, he could bring back some food containing special energy to nourish their bodies.

This energy belonged to Spiritual Energy, and it was greatly beneficial to both ordinary people and cultivators like Wei Chengyan who had touched the threshold.

Relying on such a little extra meal, the Wei family had always been free from illness and disaster, making people envious.

"Go get the half piece of pork left from yesterday; Chengen and Chengning have their graduation exams, they should have a good meal."

Wei's mother's temples had already turned white; although her hand movements were smooth and natural, she could not escape the fact that she was old.

Wei Minzhi took the pork and naturally took the tools from Wei's mother's hands, letting Wei's mother rest.

Wei's mother: ……

Wei's mother rarely did not argue, but instead went back to the room to change into a new set of clothes.

Today she was going to accompany the two children to the exam hall; there were not many big matters at home, so naturally there were not many chances for her to show her face.

Like this newly made new dress, kept at the bottom of the trunk for a year, it could finally see the light of day.

The aroma of the food wafted out, waking the other people sleeping in the house.

Shen Yao and Wei Mingyu came downstairs one after another; the two of them now looked much the same as before, just more steady and imposing.

"Hurry and sit down to eat," Wei's mother greeted everyone spiritedly.

Shen Yao and Wei Mingyu had work to busy themselves with, so the matter of Chengen and Chengning's exams was entirely handled by Wei's father and Wei's mother.

The newly cooked dishes were especially abundant; among them were several dishes carrying Spiritual Energy, which were meats sent back by Wei Chengyan, specially to nourish the family members' bodies, and now Wei's mother had taken them all out to make dishes and serve them on the table.

"Eat more, strive to do well on the exam," whether joining the official forces or forming their own squad, personal strength was indispensable.

Wei's mother deeply felt she could not keep up with the development speed outside, but she could not let the children fall behind, so she had to leave all good things to the younger generation.

Chengen and Chengning nodded while eating and promised they had enough confidence; this exam was just replicating their past results, and their future path had long been arranged.

After eating and drinking their fill, Shen Yao and Wei Mingyu left first; then Wei's father and Wei's mother drove Chengen and Chengning to the school teachers, leaving only Wei Minzhi alone at home.

After so long, Wei Minzhi still had not married; she seemed to have gotten used to such a life, and Wei's father and Wei's mother would not deliberately urge her; the family got along very harmoniously.

After all, getting married and starting a business meant accepting a new family, which was very difficult for Wei Minzhi, who had experienced the cruelty of the apocalypse and emotional wounds.

Now it was good; they lived together as a family, would worry about daily trivial matters, but more so enjoyed the beauty in life and truly felt every emotion.

Chengen and Chengning's exams were divided into three days, with written tests and practical tests; after all ended, scores would be released immediately for allocation.

Naturally, the best destination was to join the official forces, but relying on oneself to form a squad and make a name outside was also an attractive point.

Chengning, though a girl, was wild and bold, refusing official recruitment and planning to form a squad to make a name; Chengen's nature was more conservative, choosing to join the official forces to ensure her own safety.

Two children, two choices; for the Wei family, both were good things.

This precisely proved their own children were excellent; otherwise, where would the right to choose come from? Default allocation could directly decide their fate.

Wei's mother and Wei's father were very happy, pulling the big fellow to eat a luxurious big meal; after returning to the room, they cried loudly in front of several photos of the Wei family elders.

Perhaps this era had no saying of bringing glory to the ancestors, but chickens and dogs ascending to heaven still existed.

The Wei family became even more popular again, followed closely by the Wei family's increasingly low-key behavior style.

After Chengen and Chengning each made a name in different fields, Shen Yao and Wei Mingyu's work underwent new changes one after another.

Shen Yao and Wei Mingyu discussed it and did not refuse the official's goodwill.

After all, they were the connection bond between the two sides and also the support point.

Shen Yao thus lived a life of retirement sponging off the young; every day at work she did nothing, and after work she still brought good things home; during holidays there were bonuses and salaries, no different from being a salted fish.

Because life was too boring, the system temporarily abandoned Shen Yao and turned to monitor her three biological children; besides occasionally running back to gossip with Shen Yao about Wei Chengyan and others' efforts and fighting spirit, the system did not appear for a long time, causing Shen Yao to almost forget she still had a partner.

Fortunately, the things that should be done were done, and the rewards that could be obtained were all held in hand; Shen Yao's life was considered quite complete.
