Stella had given him barley seeds, fresh and well-preserved. Barley was pretty easy to grow, requiring far less water than rice. Monkey was thrilled, knowing the seeds could be sold for a good price.
Storing the seeds in Arcadia, Stella rode back home on her bike.
When she got back, she relayed all the information she had gathered from Monkey to Jasper, "It seems not just the middlemen know about the mutation of seafood, but many wealthy folks are in the know as well. They just keep quiet to protect their own interests and safety."
Jasper nodded in agreement, "In these times of disaster, everyone is just trying to survive. They aren't going to worry about others."
Leaning on his shoulder, Stella asked, "We've stocked up on so much seafood, should we still eat it?"
With his arm around her, Jasper replied, "Haven't we been eating it for months now?"

Rosie had been taking care of them enthusiastically. Though she was still recovering from her concussion, she was always finding things to keep herself busy.

Stella expended a considerable amount of mental energy, and the six acres of cornfields in Arcadia were finally planted.

Due to the extreme heat catastrophe, the melting of polar ice caps, and the contamination of the oceans by ancient viruses, sea creatures underwent mutations. Mutated marine products grew rapidly, expanding in size several times or becoming deformed. Not only seafood, but seaweed was affected as well. The safety of sea salt was still being researched, and it was also not recommended for consumption.
