"It does look like that. We are expending a lot more energy than usual. So we also need to consume more."
Lu Chen thought for a moment and then looked at Alex and Xu Meilin. "How much of the boa meat is still left?"
"About 2 boas are left. The meat should be enough for at least 6 more meals?" Alex approximately estimated.
Earlier when they were allotting food for dinner, they used a lot of the normal food times like rice and frozen meat and less of the mutated beast meat as the latter was obviously in short supply.
Considering this, Lu Chen couldn't help but think of a scary possibility. What if consumption of normal nourishment was no longer enough?
Perhaps they could prevent starvation and becoming extremely weak and malnourished by still continuing to consume normal items such as rice, grains, unmutated vegetables and meat, but to function actively and fight with energy, were these alone enough?
It was as if everything happening around them was forcing civilization to end and return back to the primitive times where they had to constantly hunt for food and protect themselves from hunger.
Lu Chen wryly chuckled and then decided to see if this was indeed true. If it was then everything would change once again and they needed to make more preparations.
"Alex, can you guys please cook another batch of meat."
"This time, use more generous portions and only the mutated beast meat. In fact, cook both of the boas completely and let everyone eat to their fill, as much as they want."
"But.." Alex muttered, confused as to why he was instructing her to do this. "Umm… Shouldn't we save the meat and other food and consume as little as possible?"
Xu Meilin as well nodded and Guan Ye who was sitting silently until now also added. "I agree with her. We should ration the food as much as possible."
Lu Chen softly sighed. He was going to wait and tell them later after he had confirmed things but now that they were asking him, he simply answered.
"I think we need to consume mutated beasts in order to survive. Other food is probably not going to cut it. Maybe mutated rice and vegetables which are grown freshly in the new world?"
"But this is just my theory. It might not be true."
After they heard Lu Chen's words, Alex, Xu Meilin and Guan Ye absent mindedly exchanged glances, with looks of realization on their faces as well.
They couldn't help but agree with what he was saying. After all, they had also personally experienced it tonight.
Qin Hua's eyes widened in shock as she stared at the new skill that had popped out in the shop!
