Chapter 195: 122 People Outdo People, Frustration Can Be Lethal (First Update)_2 Chapter 195: 122 People Outdo People, Frustration Can Be Lethal (First Update)_2 She had cooked the canned at with instant noodles, and although it tasted pretty good, a fragrant and exceptionally savory aroma started drifting in from outside just as the scent began to erge. After the apocalypse, life had beco hard, and fresh vegetables were not easy to co by unless one ventured into the fields, where they might still find crops that had not been spoiled.
After the apocalypse, Chen Si had been seriously injured and remained unconscious, so with him in tow, when did they have the opportunity to look for food in those large agricultural bases?
Suddenly encountering this long-missed savory fragrance was too much for anyone to resist. And it wasn’t just the others—ng Qingluo herself began to scorn the instant noodles in the pot.
Bai Qianqian wrinkled her little nose, looked disdainfully at the pot nearby, and blinked at Bai Ye, “Dad, I miss Mama.”
Hesitating for just a second, Bai Ye stood up with Bai Qianqian in his arms, and naturally said to his teammates, “Qianqian misses his mom, I’ll take him over there, you guys eat first.”
The others exchanged glances, their eyes full of reproach toward Bai Ye—Boss! That’s not cool! How can you abandon your brothers to freeload a al!
Bai Ye was not the least bit ashad, boldly eting their gaze—You’re thinking too much, I’m just taking Qianqian over.
The teammates silently retracted their gazes—Yeah right! Who would believe that!
Watching Bai Ye leave with Bai Qianqian, ng Qingluo, who was about to turn off the burner, completely lost her appetite. She was a good cook, and during this period, she had always been in charge of the team’s als. Everyone would complint her at each al, a mix of praise and gratitude.
Unfortunately, comparisons ruin everything. With the savory sll in the air and the canned at noodles in front of them, everyone lost their appetite. The teammates looked at each other, and Xu Wu, who was always down-to-earth, said, “Although Qingluo’s cooking is great, don’t you all rush for it—take it one at a ti!”
With this, everyone else joined in the teasing, and the atmosphere turned lively.
ng Qingluo forced a smile, but her thoughts had already drifted far away with Bai Ye. That tantalizing aroma was inescapable, and suddenly she rembered that the Fang Family had secretly stockpiled many supplies before the apocalypse, and Fang Yuxin was a Wood Elent Superpower User. Getting fresh vegetables would undoubtedly be easy for her, and the als Bai Qianqian had enjoyed these past few days were probably fantastic. ng Qingluo realized she had been worrying for nothing.
…
Following the scent, Bai Ye led Bai Qianqian to the temporary resting place of Fang Yuxin and her group. Approaching them, the fragrance grew even richer. Inside the house, a folding table was set up, and the spread on it was quite extravagant. In addition to a pot of at soup, there were also cold dishes like poached chicken, marinated duck, beef jerky, and spicy pork slices all kept in preservation boxes, and there was plenty of each.
These were all cold dishes that Fang Yuxin had prepared earlier that day, easy to serve without arousing suspicion. The rice had also been prepared in advance, ready to be heated by hot soup. The grains, having absorbed the flavorful soup, beca even softer and more deliciously savory.
Being a child, Bai Qianqian was already hungry, and his eyes lit up at the sight of the lavish food. Fang Yuxin, seeing his return, was also happy and quickly invited him to sit and eat. Additional folding stools were ready by the table, indicating thorough preparation.
Fang Yuxin glanced at Bai Ye and casually invited, “Mr. Bai, if you don’t mind, please join us for the al.”
Bai Ye readily took a seat next to Bai Qianqian, skipping the formalities and stated frankly, “Then I’ll take up your kind offer.”
Fang Yuyang ground his teeth. He had always had an issue with Bai Ye, but since guests had arrived, he couldn’t just show a foul face—that would reflect poorly on the Fang Family. He managed to stretch a smile across his face, offered a brief greeting, and then ignored Bai Ye.
Bai Ye didn’t mind and, taking the bowl and chopsticks Bai Qianqian passed him, began to eat swiftly.
Because they were outside, there was always the risk of zombies or other survivors showing up, so everyone ate quickly. In less than ten minutes, they finished their lunch. Throughout the al, Fang Yuxin and Bai Qianqian used their Spiritual Sense to stay on alert. Perhaps because of Liu ng, the survivors who had left earlier did not return, but they had attracted quite a few zombies instead.
Since the zombies were still a distance away, the pair didn’t give them any attention. By the ti the zombies got close, they had already finished their lunch. Everyone’s appetite was big, and they polished off all the food and soup cleanly.
The harsh conditions of the apocalypse forced people to grow. Things that once seed inconsequential now beca precious. In the face of hunger and death, no one could afford to be finicky.
Hearing the roars of zombies, Bai Ye took the initiative to offer to clear the zombies as a way of saying thanks. Unfortunately, no one appreciated the gesture. As soon as he made the offer, Fang Yuyang spoke up, “I’ll go with you.”
As he spoke, Chen Qiao and others stood up too, all saying in unison, “We’ll co too!”
As long as they were not encountering Mutant Zombies, these regular zombies were practically delivering Crystal Cores to them; no one wanted to pass up the chance to benefit at the expense of Bai Ye.
Bai Ye paused, thinking of those survivors who viewed zombies as catastrophic beasts, and suddenly found these people rather interesting. He raised an eyebrow at Fang Yuyang, with a provocative gleam in his eye, “Why don’t we make it a competition?”
Upon hearing this, a strong fighting spirit surged in Fang Yuyang’s heart, “Alright! Let’s see who’s better!”
At that, both n almost instantly headed out, and Chen Qiao and the others looked at each other and quickly followed, wondering if they could still have a chance to collect the scraps with these two fierce fighters around.
Fang Yuxin didn’t go out with them, but she packed up everything efficiently and stored it in a concealed space. Just as she was about to call the others to head out, she noticed more survivors entering the ruins.
It seed these people were coming straight for them! (To be continued… If you like this work, you are welco to vote for it at Qidian (qidian) with recomndation tickets or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
