After the small spaceship was hidden, there was no need to worry about leaving traces. The remaining issue was their accommodation.
"Let's find a place to stay," Zhong Li Feiyu said calmly.
Zhong Li Feiyu, being a soldier with years of combat experience, maintained sufficient composure in such a peculiar situation and began searching for a place to stay.
Unable to set up tents and expose human presence, their most suitable option for shelter was a cave.
"Where are we going now?" Wei Xingzhou followed Zhong Li Feiyu, asking in confusion.
"To find a cave, one that's habitable," Zhong Li Feiyu replied.
Wei Xingzhou: "???"
Wei Xingzhou was puzzled, but then he thought about it and followed Zhong Li Feiyu. The two of them went to look for a cave.

In Lu Wanqing and Cui Cui's cave, the mother and daughter finished eating peaches, satisfied their hunger, and drank some water before lying down to rest in the cave.
It was already late, and it was time for a nap, which perfectly matched their biological clocks, so they quickly fell asleep.
After the nap, the energy they had expended in the morning was restored. Lu Wanqing turned to look at Cui Cui.
Just then, Cui Cui also woke up, her sleepy eyes blinking confusedly as she looked at her mother.
Lu Wanqing smiled at Cui Cui and said, "Awake?"
"Mm," Cui Cui replied.
Mother and daughter got up together and emerged from the cave.
They still had to go out to find prey in the afternoon and collect more leaves.
Lu Wanqing picked up her weapon, took Cui Cui with her, and the mother and daughter set off.
They entered the forest, unaware that a small black snake was watching them from a nearby treetop.
After walking for a while, Lu Wanqing and Cui Cui suddenly saw a pair of eyes peeking out from the grass.
Lu Wanqing's steps immediately halted.
Cui Cui was still walking forward.
Lu Wanqing grabbed Cui Cui.
The next moment, the animal in the grass turned and ran.
Lu Wanqing instantly chased after it, raising the stick she was holding and swinging it at the animal ahead!
It was an animal not too large, somewhat resembling a weasel, and quite long!
Perhaps it was starving, or perhaps it was determined to catch prey, Lu Wanqing ran incredibly fast. With one strike, she hit the "weasel."
Lu Wanqing put a lot of force into it, and the "weasel" quickly fell.
Lu Wanqing hurried over and, not feeling assured, delivered a few more blows!
Cui Cui also watched cautiously. After a moment, she exclaimed happily, "It's dead!"
"Yes!" Lu Wanqing nodded with a smile.
Lu Wanqing bent down and picked up the "weasel." She felt its weight and found it quite substantial, likely solid and not just bloated. It should be enough for her and Cui Cui to eat for two days.
Moreover, the "weasel's" fur was also good, soft to the touch. She could skin it later. If she and Cui Cui were stranded here for a long time and the weather turned cold, it could be used to make scarves, fur collars, or even clothes in the future, so they wouldn't freeze.
"We don't need to hunt anymore today," Lu Wanqing said happily to Cui Cui.
"Okay," Cui Cui agreed with delight.
"Ahhh, as expected of my goddess, amazing!"
"I swear, Goddess Wanqing is my eternal god, so awesome. I want to learn from Goddess Wanqing in the future!"
"I feel like it's impossible for me to be as amazing as Goddess Wanqing in this lifetime, but maybe my child can. From now on, I'm going to put high-definition photos of Goddess Wanqing in my daughter's room, let her look at them every day. Perhaps after looking for a long time, she'll become like Goddess Wanqing, hahaha!"
"Does anyone know what kind of animal that was?"
The public screen in the Federal StarNet Plaza was incredibly lively. Everyone was watching the livestream and happily chatting while posting bullet comments.
"I'm from the Department of Ancient Earth Biology. If I'm not mistaken, that should be an ancient Earth weasel, and one with very little mutation. Apart from the color not matching the recorded yellow, everything else is exactly the same as the records before the mutation in ancient Earth!" Just then, someone began to explain.
"What is a weasel?" someone asked.
"A weasel is an animal that likes to eat chickens!"
"Right, right, right. I heard there was a saying in ancient Earth times, 'Weasels pay a New Year's visit to chickens, with ill intentions,' which refers to how weasels particularly love to eat chickens!"
"That's ridiculous, upstairs, don't spout nonsense if you don't know. It's true that weasels love chickens, but that saying doesn't mean weasels love chickens. Please don't mislead the interstellar populace!"
"So what does that saying mean? And what does it have to do with weasels?"
"I just checked it, and I know now. That saying is a proverb from the ancient Earth era. Because weasels especially love to eat chickens and want to eat them whenever they see them, people used 'weasels paying a New Year's visit to chickens' to describe someone with ulterior motives, with ill intentions, which is the meaning of 'ill intentions' later on."
"I see."
"Ancient Earth people really knew how to speak. They could insult people like that. I've learned something, learned something."
"Hahahaha, I'm also studying hard. If someone plots against me in the future, I'll tell them they are weasels paying a New Year's visit to chickens!"
"By the way, are there other proverbs from ancient Earth? I feel like the proverbs from the ancient Earth era are very interesting. I'm a bit curious!"
"Yes, there are many more. If you want to know, you can check on StarNet, or go to the Ancient Earth Museum. There are many records!"
On StarNet, everyone was discussing heatedly and happily.
Little Harvey, however, was a bit down because he didn't like to study, but...
Looking at the public screen, he suddenly felt that if he didn't study well, he might not understand his mother as well as outsiders did. Hmph, that wouldn't do!
Harvey thought to himself, unable to help but ponder that when he returned home, he would ask his father to hire him a tutor for ancient Earth history and literature. He was determined to study hard about the matters of his mother's era. He absolutely couldn't know less than others, or it would be too embarrassing if someone asked him and he couldn't answer!
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Just as Little Harvey was deep in thought, Ya Ya's crisp voice suddenly sounded nearby.
Harvey turned to look at Ya Ya.
Ya Ya raised her small hand, rubbed Harvey's furrowed brow, and said earnestly and seriously, "Brother, don't frown. Be happy."
Harvey looked at his sister Ya Ya and suddenly felt happy. He said to Ya Ya, "Ya Ya, Brother wants to study ancient Earth history and literature. Will you study with Brother in the future?"
"Okay." Ya Ya didn't understand what ancient Earth history and literature were, but since Brother Harvey asked her to study together, she would.
"Good girl," Harvey said, satisfied. He ruffled Ya Ya's fluffy, incredibly cute little head.
