In order to lose a lot of weight, a lot of young girls with great family backgrounds only ate one meal a day, with some going to the extent of only eating an apple for their single meal. Jiang Chen wondered: wouldn’t they starve to death?

Losing weight by dieting wasn’t only harmful to the body, it was also hard to maintain. This was conveyed by the joke, “When fat people are losing weight, the more they try, the more fat they get.”

Imagine this, if a weight loss medicine appeared on the market – no, it would be called low-calorie food! Two test tubes a day would ensure you were full without any damage to your body. If you drank it continuously for half a year, it would guarantee you would be as thin as the refugees in the ghetto… Of course, no one would want to be as thin as that. Normal people would stop drinking it after a month.

The nutrient supply from the apocalypse wasn’t fit for marketing to the modern world. Since it was a product, the taste was definitely a significant consideration. Also with concern for food safety, the ingredients and nutrient value would have to be redesigned.

For the improved version of the nutrient supply, Jiang Chen made a few requests to the five researchers.

The first was that it had to taste good, then it had to be healthy. Third, the calories had to be low enough and fourth, the ingredients had to be easy to gather and suitable for large-scale farming. Finally, the recipe had to be finished within a month. For each day they were ahead of schedule, the researchers could spend a month longer in the fallout shelter.

Faced with Jiang Chen’s demands, the five researchers all raised their chests in confidence and promised to finish the recipe within the allocated time.

When the five people left the command center, they all had cheerful smiles on their faces as they couldn’t wait to return to the fallout shelter to start the experiment.

“Once they have results, immediately report back to the base.” Before Jiang Chen left, he urged Xu Lu.

“Yes, Boss!” Xu Lu responded with a smile.

“Then that’s all… Also, did Han Junhua give up?”

Xu Lu shook her head with embarra.s.sment.

“Not yet.”

“I see…”

[What a stubborn person; why can’t she just listen? PAC already flew lightyears away – what’s there to be stubborn about?]

“Do you want to go see her?” Xu Lu asked.

“Mhmm… Might as well.” Jiang Chen said casually.

He wanted to personally ask if she changed her mind and display his genuineness. Then, depending on the circ.u.mstances, he would see if she needed a more intensive lesson before he left… Jiang Chen thought he was a wicked person.

A smile surfaced on Xu Lu’s face and she nodded gently.

“Okay, please follow me.”

Jiang Chen followed Xu Lu into the cold bas.e.m.e.nt. The patrol at the door saluted to him and opened the door for them before closing it.

Han Junhua sat quietly on the bed and looked at Jiang Chen.

He could sense that the instant she saw him, a hint of fright flashed across her pupils. Although it quickly vanished, it left a deep impression on his mind.

With the calm and collected look she put up, he felt a sense of guilt for some reason.

Maybe because he still had the conscience of someone from the modern world?

“… You can leave for now,” Jiang Chen said lightly.

“Yes.” Xu Lu nodded before she left the bas.e.m.e.nt.

When the steel door closed shut, the bas.e.m.e.nt returned to silence.

To Jiang Chen’s surprise, it was Han Junhua who first broke the silence.

“What perverted thing do you plan to do to me today?”

Her voice was distant and cold – it sounded like it could freeze a person without any hint of emotion.

“I…” Jiang Chen opened his mouth, but he chose to close it.

He came in with a script in mind, but with that face as calm as still water, he didn’t know what to say.

Jiang Chen sighed and threw out the words he prepared beforehand as he gently said, “Sorry.”

Surprise flashed through Han Junhua’s eyes. There was also a trace of confusion, but it vanished instantly.
