The research group imdiately picked up paper and pens to start recording.
What are they recording? Naturally, they’re recording everyone’s physical conditions, which include all aspects of eating, drinking, and excretion.
There’s no such thing as privacy here. With lives at stake, eating and excretion beco trivial matters. It’s like a doctor doing rounds every day, asking, "Hey, have you eaten today? Had a bowel movent? Any issues with urination and defecation?" It’s almost the sa.
Everyone is reporting their status, so eat more, so drink more, while others eat less and drink less.
But without exception, regardless of how much they eat, no one’s having a bowel movent.
"Alright, it’s collective constipation again."
"Since everyone is constipated, if I’m constipated too, it doesn’t matter."
Don’t ntion it, this goes for both Jing Shu and Su Malie as well. Even indulging in private snacks hasn’t changed their constipation till now. Where’s the poop gone?
Chu Zhuohua on the side said, "Maybe everything people eat is being digested by their stomachs entirely, and there’s nothing left to excrete." He’s not a doctor, so he hasn’t researched much in this area.
Big Yellow Teeth slapped the table, "What you say makes sense. Since eating is like not eating, might as well not eat and save resources?"
It’s indeed logical.
"But not eating is not an option, we’re starving!"
"Yes, yes, can’t take the hunger."
As the logistics manager, Big Yellow Teeth watched the enormous daily consumption of resources and felt heartache, "Then eat the sli, at least you won’t starve to death, unlike now, eating dozens or hundreds of pounds of food daily, and not excreting it, it’s a waste."
Yang Yang coughed softly and looked at Chu Zhuohua, "Have the resource consumption calculations been made? Although we have a lot of resources, if they keep disappearing rapidly, we must keep so in reserve, in case we face any issues later and need energy."
As long as they eat, they gain strength, but if they survive only on sli without food, they are barely alive. So Yang Yang needs to plan for their escape.
Chu Zhuohua nodded, "In recent days, the food varieties existing before the apocalypse are disappearing rapidly, like grain and potatoes. Regardless of exposure to air or vacuum-sealed in cans, they seem to be digested by sothing quickly, and in about five days, they might all disappear.
While post-apocalypse new food varieties, like red worm cake, green algae, and giant at, are disappearing slowly, they can probably be stored for about a month.
Our backup food, the giant insects, haven’t been digested during these days, and the good news is that these Abdominal Foot Worms can survive by eating sli."
This indeed is great news!
Yang Yang also nodded, "The Abdominal Foot Worms are our lifesaving trump card. Even if all resources are exhausted, as long as these worms are alive, we’ll have the strength to fight and uncover the secrets here."
Jing Shu pondered, aning all non-energy food would disappear quickly, while energy-rich foods disappear slowly.
With her space filled with fruits and vegetables infused with the Space Spiritual Spring, they might not disappear or will at a slow rate?
That’s definitely good news.
Bringing the Abdominal Foot Worms was indeed a correct decision. Even if they’re trapped and resources run out, as long as they have the worms, they can let the worms eat the sli, then eat the worms’ limbs, creating a survival cycle.
"But we still have a severe issue, water resources are running low, disappearing even faster than food, probably in about ten to fifteen days," said Chu Zhuohua, addressing another critical issue.
Before arriving, the logistics team prepared sufficient water, fearing potential water shortages.
"But there’s also good news, the sli can replace water; drinking more can help. Of course, our tests show adding sli drastically slows water evaporation, though it does have a taste. It’s up to you to decide."
Everyone: "......"
"Does this an we’ll have to eat sli for three als a day?"
After reporting all the information, Yang Yang concluded, "This is the current situation. For food, I suggest eating the fastest disappearing items over the next few days. For water, use it as usual and then drink sli, or add so sli now, what do you all think?"
"Add so sli, drinking slightly flavored water for a month sounds better than drinking sli for a month."
"Sa for ."
" too..."
So, everyone agreed to add sli to slow water evaporation.
Starting today, they prioritized eating the food that would disappear first.
This food was the most delicious and scarce; pre-apocalypse food was precious.
"Delicious, absolutely delicious."
"I can’t imagine having nang paired with spicy chili powder and mashed potatoes, an unbelievable treat, I can’t bear to consu it, boohoo—"
"Just these two days, enjoy the last al well!"
"Eating this food in my lifeti, I wouldn’t exchange it even for imdiate death."
"Eating this at today, even if it ant joining the national team, working ten hours daily, with six insurances, two funds, and thirty thousand Virtual Coins a month along with eight days off, I’d still agree."
"Why are you dreaming so beautifully?"
The rescue team enjoyed well-prepared als for the last few days, even those in hardship got so fine bran.
Sadly, the good tis lasted only three to five days; after consuming the fine bran, only coarse bran remained.
The good tis persisted briefly, and soon the rescue team’s fine bran ran out, leaving only red worm cakes and giant at.
Yet, the way out remained elusive, and the tunnel dug by the Hulk faced difficulties, but the good news was that the team led by Chu Zhuohua made a significant breakthrough in their research!
