As soon as they returned to their base's safety, Shinon and Rico set out to prepare the ground for their crops, armed with nothing but seeds and the shovels that Sarah had gifted them.
They knew it would be challenging, but they were determined to make it work. And it wasn't like they had a choice, and eating only fruits and nuts wouldn't do them any good in the long run.
As for the canned good they found in the resource room, the trio was planning on saving it and only using it every other day to keep running out of it.
They made their way to a nearby patch of land next to the stream and cleared any debris that the stream hadn't.
Shinon began digging into the soil with his shovel, turning it over and breaking up any clumps of dirt. Rico followed behind him, using another shovel to smooth out the soil's surface. As they worked, Shinon grunted with effort, sweat dripping down his face.
