As the food in the service area's basement became less and less, conflicts between the two surviving families increased.

Nini is nine years old this year, and her brother is only twelve. It is very difficult for Nini's father and mother to raise two children in this extremely cold environment. Fortunately, after they became superpowers, their bodies are more resistant to cold.

Nini's father is an earth-type mutant and her mother is a water-type mutant, neither of which has offensive abilities.

In order to raise their children, the couple went out everywhere to collect wood for heating and edible food.

Fearing that her children would be bullied, Nini's mother would stay behind to watch over the children after another family showed up. Later, as food became increasingly difficult to find, Nini's father took Nini's brother out with him to collect supplies.

Fortunately, Nini's brother has also awakened his superpowers, and they are fire-related superpowers, so he is not afraid of the cold when going out.

These days, Nini was sick with a high fever that wouldn't go away, and the whole family was very worried.

Nini's mother stayed to look after the child, while Nini's father and brother prepared to go to the mountains to look for some herbs.

In this extremely cold weather, it is impossible for any herbs to survive. They knew this, but they just didn't want to wait for the child to die.

I don’t know if God really heard their prayers, but Nini’s father and brother really found something on the hillside behind their village. It was a whole field of plants that were still rooted in the soil and thriving in the extremely cold temperature.

It is a plant with clusters of tiny brown leaves that are easily overlooked by the naked eye, but under the thumb-thick rhizomes are egg-sized fruits.

This is the only plant they found that can grow in extreme cold. Nini's father has a strong feeling that this strange plant can help Nini.

In order to find and dig herbs, Nini's father and her brother spent a night in the village.

This led the family of three in the basement of the service area to think that the father and son would never come back. In order to monopolize the remaining food, the three of them decided to knock out Nini's mother and prepare to throw Nini away.

After Nini fell ill, they were worried that her cold would be contagious. In this weather, it would be difficult to survive the illness without medicine.

After throwing away Nini, for some reason they didn't immediately throw away Nini's mother.

Nini's father was worried about his daughter, so he picked some herbs and rushed back, while her brother stayed there to pick them. When Nini's mother woke up and found that her daughter was missing, she suddenly exploded.

Her water-based ability transformed into ice-based ability due to her huge emotional fluctuations. She used the ice blade to cut the ropes that bound her wrists and broke free.

The family of three were injured to varying degrees by the combination of ice blades and water streams.

The middle-aged woman was the most seriously injured because she was pushed out by her husband to block the knife. The ice blade cut open the front of her clothes, leaving a large amount of blood.

It was at this time that Nini's father returned home and found his wife injured and Nini missing, so he went crazy and attacked that family.

When Lu Bei'er and Jiang Bai saw it, Nini's father had already beaten the couple.

When he finally beat up the young man in his twenties, even though the other party had psychic powers and his psychic attack made Nini's father almost bleed from all seven orifices, he endured the pain and beat the other party until he begged for mercy again and again, and he could no longer use his psychic power to attack.

Fortunately, nothing is irreversible.

Lu Bei'er and Jiang Bai rescued their daughter Nini, allowing the family of four to be reunited.

The other family of three was a couple in their fifties, surnamed Wang, and their son was very young, in his twenties.

The reason why Nini's parents could always tolerate this family of three encroaching on their family's supplies was because these three people were all tall and strong, and they all looked like they were not easy to mess with.

When the other party touched their sore spot, Nini's parents exploded.

Jiang Bai and Lu Bei'er were just passing by and did not interfere in the feud between them. They only helped the little girl Nini because they could not bear to see the child suffer.

Afterwards, the couple got angry and beat up the frightened Wang family members, and forced them to move out of their own residence in disgrace.

As for how they will survive next, no one will pay attention.

"You saved my Nini. We don't have anything to give you. We found these in the mountains. We don't know what kind of plant it is. If you need it, take it all!"

Nini's parents actually gave them a plant that they collected in the mountains and that can grow in extreme cold.

Lu Beier spent a lot of points to let the system detect this plant with thick roots and brown leaves.

"Detecting new mutant plants... Testing completed... The rhizomes have special energy that strengthens the body and stimulates human potential, and are rich in starch and multiple vitamins needed by the human body."

Strengthen your physique, stimulate your potential, and also contain starch and vitamins? !

It is much more humane than the last test.

Knowing that the brown grass roots were good things, Lu Beier told them that this plant that looked like grass roots had the energy to strengthen the body, stimulate the body's potential, and could also be used as a staple food.

As for why she knew it so clearly, she naturally used her wood-related abilities as an excuse.

Unexpectedly, Nini's parents directly said that they would take them to the place where these grass plants grew.

"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Lu, we can all see that you two are not ordinary people. You can still travel long distances outside in such weather, which shows that you are both capable! We are all honest people, and we don't have anything good to repay you! The grass roots I found are everywhere. If you don't mind, dig some and take them away!"

After refusing several times, the other party was too persistent, so the two had to agree to follow Nini's father to the place where he found the brown grass roots.

Lu Beier took them to the interior of the snow RV, treated the wounds of the injured couple, and then left Nini's mother and the two children in the RV.

Nini's father took the two of them to the hillside.

The village is about one thousand meters away from the service area, and they work here because it is close to home.

There were about a hundred households in this village, all of which were deserted and half of the houses had collapsed in the snow. After passing through the village, the three of them soon arrived at the sunny hillside.

The traces of the excavation by Nini's father were still there, and Lu Beier used space to collect all the snow around it.

Sure enough, there was a layer of brown, very tiny plants on the surface of the soil, almost the same color as the soil. If you didn't go close to take a closer look, you could easily overlook it.

Lu Beier used the soil system to dig out the surface soil and found that the brown plant looked like a yam, with its roots going straight underground.

You have to dig out more than two meters of soil to get the egg-sized root tuber at the bottom of the rhizome.

This tuber is a little different from yam. The entire rhizome of yam is edible. Lu Beier used her wood ability to feel it. The brown rhizome that is one or two meters long and as thick as a thumb is a real rhizome. It has a lot of crude fiber and can be eaten, but the taste may not be very good.

But the egg-sized tuber hanging at the bottom, when broken open, is white and juicy inside, and really does look a bit like yam.

It’s really good stuff.

Lu Beier and Nini's father used the soil system to dig up the soil layer, and dug up dozens or hundreds of kilograms of roots and stems. When they were ready to go back after digging half of the hillside, Lu Beier took out the cold-resistant potato and sweet potato seedlings from the space and planted them directly on the spot.

"This...is this?"

"These are cold-resistant potatoes and sweet potatoes that we cultivated in our mountains. I brought the seedlings with me and will plant some for you."

It's more than just a little bit.

This hillside, as well as the original farmland in the village not far away, is as large as 700 to 800 acres. Lu Beier used her wood-related ability to plant cold-resistant potatoes and sweet potatoes directly on the land, and also helped them grow to 70% to 80% maturity.

"This... these are all sweet potatoes and potatoes?!" Nini's father was so excited that he almost cried again. He knelt on the ground and touched the leaves of the sweet potatoes that were different from ordinary potatoes, fearing that these were all illusions.

Lu Bei'er ripened a potato right in front of him, then dug out a bunch and cut one open for him to see carefully.

It wasn't until he saw the bunch of fist-sized brown potatoes and smelled the rich smell of raw potatoes after they were cut open that he finally burst into tears of joy.

"You... these are..."

"Yes, they are all food! They are also seeds! Planting them here is like a fire. I hope all humans can survive!"
