But that kind of card was just an ordinary exchange card, similar to the one Qin Chuan later gave Zhou Zhe.
It had a spending limit.
Once it exceeded a certain quota, the card would automatically become invalid.
Only the type Xu An held was a card that could be used infinitely.
However, even with Qin Chuan's status,
He himself only had the one card he gave to Xu An.
Xu An did not get angry when she was rejected, but simply smiled and saw the man off.
Even though the man kept refusing, Xu An still gave him a disposable hand warmer.
"The weather is too cold, you should take it."
The man blushed shyly.
Even though it was the apocalypse, there were still quite a few well-maintained beauties in the lighthouse.
But Xu An, who was standing before them, was undoubtedly the cream of the crop among these beauties.
Moreover, Xu An's beauty was not gentle like moonlight, but carried a heroic air, like the scorching sun and morning rays.
Before the man could even refuse, Xu An had already stuffed a thermos into his hand, filled with hot but not scalding water.
After seeing him off, Xu An held the card in her hand and examined it.
Xu Yan had greeted Xu An in the morning and gone out for a walk with her friends.
Although Xu An didn't understand why anyone would go for a walk in such cold weather.
She was also relieved that her mother had found her friends and things to do.
She didn't like people revolving around her.
It would delay others and also make her feel guilty.
Xu An thought for a moment, looking at the card in her hand.
There was a note attached to it, likely left by Qin Chuan.
The general meaning was that it couldn't be used normally yet, and these exchange cards would only be activated gradually after the underground mining work was completed.
The weather was truly too cold, and even Goudan was nestled in its fluffy little nest and refused to come out.
Xu An went back inside, put on her socks, and slipped into the space.
As soon as she entered, Xu An took off her heavy outer jacket.
The temperature in the space was always maintained at a comfortable and constant temperature.
Xu An was so comfortable that she almost didn't want to leave.
But she hadn't forgotten why she came in today.
Having not had a proper meal in a long time, Xu An decided to have hot pot today.
Xu An first walked to the farmland and saw that the seeds she had planted earlier had already sprouted.
She harvested all the mature vegetables first, and then sowed new seeds.
During this time, Xu An also brought Goudan into the space.
To work for her.
There was no such thing as a planting season in the space; as soon as the seeds matured, they were harvested, and new ones were planted.
Although she had stockpiled a lot of vegetables before,
How could the vegetables displayed in the supermarket compare to the freshness of those grown directly from the ground?
Xu An carefully picked a basket of vegetables, then went into the space again.
From the meat shelves, she took a lot of meat, all of which were the main ingredients for hot pot.
Then she took out four large, round sweet potatoes from the shelf next to it.
After coming out of the space, she used the stove brought from here to heat them on a low flame, found four chopsticks, and placed the freshly taken sweet potatoes on the stove's fire rack.
They were roasted on a low heat.
Before long, the slightly sweet aroma of roasted sweet potatoes began to emanate.
Xu An, who had been busy running around, finally had a moment of leisure.
She first called Xu Yan, asking when she would be back.
Then she called Zhou Haimei and asked if she wanted to come over for hot pot.
After receiving an affirmative reply, Xu An took out tripe and aorta, which Zhou Haimei liked, from the space.
Xu An had hesitated whether to call Qin Chuan, but when she called him, the communicator showed "out of service area."
She guessed that Qin Chuan must not have returned to the lighthouse and was still out mining, which conveniently avoided an awkward encounter.
When everything was almost ready, Xu Yan happened to return.
"Why did you decide to have hot pot today?"
As soon as Xu Yan entered, she saw the table full of dishes that Xu An had prepared.
Due to the extreme cold period, the vegetable greenhouses in the lighthouse were kept at a temperature to prevent the vegetables from freezing.
Green leafy vegetables were now selling for sky-high prices.
Not to mention how extravagant Xu An's meal was.
If they didn't have the space as a cheat, they probably wouldn't be able to eat these common vegetables from before the apocalypse.
"It's too cold. By the way, I also invited Sister Mei."
Xu Yan took off her coat, changed her shoes, picked up an apron, and walked towards the kitchen.
"Then I'll stir-fry some hot pot base soup. Do you want鸳鸯 or spicy?"
Xu An thought that Zhou Haimei was from the south and could tolerate spicy food, and the weather was so cold.
So, without hesitation, she directly asked.
"Let's have spicy."
Xu Yan smiled and nodded in agreement.
Their mother and daughter were relatively good at eating spicy food, and usually, when eating hot pot, unless there were outsiders, they would rarely order a鸳鸯 pot.
However, Zhou Haimei this time was also a "compatriot," so there was no need to be so considerate.
Xu Yan's movements were quick, and before Zhou Haimei could arrive, her base ingredients were already made.
There was also a pot of lotus root and pork rib soup simmering in the pot.
The aroma made Xu An gasp.
"It's been so long since I've had a proper meal."
Xu An, nestled on the sofa, looked at the delicious food before her, her eyes shining.
Xu Yan smiled, but her words were not to be outdone.
"Who told you to go down there and look for trouble yourself?"
"Hehe, I had some gains going down there, so how can that be looking for trouble?"
Xu Yan didn't expose her. It was only when her daughter acted spoiled towards her that
She felt that Xu An was still like a child, the little girl who used to hide in her arms and act spoiled.
...
On the other side, Qin Chuan frowned slightly, looking at the increasing amount of blood flowing down, gradually forming a small stream at their feet.
Zhou Zhe stood by the side, looking as if he had something to say but hesitated.
"What is it?"
Zhou Zhe: "Boss, this blood smells a bit like human blood." His subtext was, could the person buried in this wall be human?
Qin Chuan frowned, completely unmoved by Zhou Zhe's words.
"Whether it's human or ghost today, we have to dig this thing out!"
Zhou Zhe didn't say anything further. At this point, even if the person buried in the wall was a ghost.
They had to pry open the wall to see what kind of ghost it was.
With Qin Chuan's forceful strike, the entire wall began to peel off in large areas.
And what appeared before Qin Chuan were rows upon rows of monsters with fish bodies and human legs.
They were like enlarged versions of the sea monsters that had pursued them on the ice.
Thinking of how he had almost died under the steel fangs of these monsters before, Qin Chuan couldn't help but get goosebumps.
He instantly thought of the giant cocoon outside.
If these were the offspring of the sea monsters, he would exterminate them here today.
The reproductive ability and vitality of these things were too terrifying.
Qin Chuan and the others couldn't be sure when these things were piled into the wall, and they were still bleeding now.
Seeing Qin Chuan's fearful expression, Zhou Zhe was puzzled.
"Boss, what is this thing?"
Qin Chuan did not answer him but calmly said.
"Go and burn all the cocoons outside."
"Ah?" Zhou Zhe was stunned.
"Just burn them like that? We don't even know what they are yet?"
Qin Chuan's voice became a little more urgent: "No need to know! Hurry up! Remember to watch closely and ensure they are completely burned. Not a single egg should be left."
