Hearing Su Ling's words, Sister Na and Zhang Miaomiao both breathed a sigh of relief.
They were truly afraid that when the snake meat was served, Su Ling would ask them to eat it.
Gu Shangse went downstairs to take a shower. When he returned, Su Ling and the others found him looking the same as when he left.
"There's no water." Gu Shangse wiped the water from his hair with a towel and stood with Xu Lin and the others, watching them handle the large snake.
Su Ling was not too surprised to hear that there was no water.
So much time had passed since the apocalypse, and it was quite good that the building's water supply had lasted this long.
"You guys handle it, I'll go back to the tent to rest." After saying that, Su Ling turned and walked towards the tent.
Entering the tent, Su Ling lay down with her head on her pillow but couldn't sleep.
She took out the black crystal core and held it up to examine it.
The more she looked, the more excited she became. She sat up, grabbed a pen and sketchbook, and began to sketch in the book.
As her draft took shape in the sketchbook, it was evident that she was drawing a house.
It was a two-story house design.
But it was different from the houses commonly seen in everyday life. At the bottom of the house Su Ling drew, a semicircular base supported the two-story house with a garden.
Two legs were drawn beneath the semicircle.
In addition to the overall house design, Su Ling also drew the interior structure of the house separately.
Living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, almost everything was included.
The more Su Ling drew, the more enthusiastic she became, detailing and stereotyping the initially linear design.
She even took out colored pencils from her space to add color, making the drawing look more beautiful.
When she had almost finished the drawing and was about to add color, Gu Shangse's voice came from outside the tent: "Come out and eat."
Su Ling looked up and saw a figure standing outside through the tent. "Okay."
She replied, glanced at the unfinished drawing in her hand, and decided to put it down to go eat.
She didn't plan to go out again in the afternoon, intending to stay in the tent to finish the drawing, hoping to build the castle when they left.
Her castle-building ability had reached level six and was close to level seven, so building the castle on paper was not difficult.
However, to achieve the massive castle that could house tens of thousands of people in her previous life, there was still a lot of room for improvement.
But she didn't want to build a large survivor base. She just wanted a warm little home, to protect the people she needed to protect.
The meal, which was a combination of breakfast and lunch, was truly what Su Ling had described: a full snake banquet.
Snake soup, snake meat stew, salt and pepper snake segments, ginger spicy snake, flavorful snake, braised spicy snake, and a simmering snake hot pot in the middle of the stove. The entire table was filled with dishes made primarily from snake meat.
Of course, to accommodate Sister Na, Zhang Miaomiao, and Han Han, who couldn't eat snake, a few other dishes were specially prepared.
Seeing Su Ling and the others eating with relish, Sister Na and Zhang Miaomiao also felt tempted.
Finally, Sister Na mustered up the courage and picked up a piece of salt and pepper snake segment. After tasting it, she couldn't stop and picked up another piece.
Seeing this, Zhang Miaomiao was somewhat influenced. She also picked up a piece of ginger spicy snake for herself.
Upon tasting it, she opened a new door to a new world.
Su Ling had initially thought they wouldn't touch it, but after trying it, the two ate even more heartily than they did.
Her gaze was calm and unperturbed. Increased adaptability was a good thing.
The apocalypse would only become more difficult to survive in, and eating snakes and field mice would become normal in the future.
However, snake meat was not easy to obtain. Animals after the apocalypse would mutate, becoming many times larger than before the apocalypse, and their damage value would also be high.
Today, they were just lucky to encounter one that had just gained sentience and evolved, and its destructive power was not yet that strong.
