Chapter 832: Chapter 832 Settling Down
Kou Ning stared dismayedly as the four giants behind him were left in a horde of zombies, suddenly feeling they were sowhat lonely. In fact, he wasn’t afraid of that many zombies, and he didn’t want to leave yet.
“No, you need to move with us,”
Lu Hao’s voice ca from the vehicle where Su Jin was, as Kou Ning actually suggested he would stay behind alone.
Verdant tendrils wrapped around the wrists of Lu Hao and Lin Xiuyuan inside the vehicle while Su Jin was helping them restore their Special Abilities. Hearing Kou Ning’s concern, she was a bit surprised; to others, her mutant man-eating flower was rely controlled by her ability, yet was Kou Ning treating them as a form of life?
How had those rumors from her previous life, suggesting Kou Ning was a cold-blooded, emotionless killing machine, co about?
“Zombies won’t attack them as long as they don’t go beyond my control range; they’ll actually be quite happy to stay there,”
Su Jin said to Kou Ning through the walkie-talkie.
“…Alright then,”
Kou Ning’s sowhat reluctant voice ca through, making everyone inside the vehicle laugh.
Finding a place to live for over a hundred people was still a major issue; the more populated an area, the greater the risk of attracting zombies. Mao Qiqi was consistently monitoring the direction of the ntal Elent Mutated Zombie, trying to help everyone find the safest spot.
“Captain Xing, Qiqi said there’s no need to go further; we can just look around this area,”
Su Xiangzhe told Xing Taian.
“But we’ve only been driving for about twenty minutes, can we live here?”
Xing Taian said in surprise, there were still so many zombies over there.
A crisp voice took over the walkie-talkie and said to Xing Taian, “Uncle Xing, there are no zombies nearby. That ans all the zombies here have been attracted by that ntal elent zombie. And up till now, no zombies have chased us here, so being on the edge of that zombie’s control range might actually be safer.”
After hearing this, Xing Taian was silent for a mont. Using zombies to find a safe place for humans? He had to admit he had underestimated this young girl previously.
“I understand now,”
Outside the vehicle at this mont, aside from a few Ordinary Zombies that were trapped inside the car, indeed there were no zombies on the streets on either side.
“Xiaojin, slow down a bit and let’s find a slightly cleaner place around here,”
Xing Taian said.
“Yes, captain,”
Xiaojin did not hesitate, since all this while, they had been smoothly following the path pointed out by the little girl from the Heart Talk Team.
Eventually, the team stopped in the courtyard of a municipal center in a street office.
Compared to the dilapidated yard bathed in the afterglow of the sun, the interior of the municipal hall was relatively clean, except for the shattered glass windows and several glaring patches of Dark Blood in the hall; the offices and conference rooms beside it were quite tidy.
“This place is not bad,”
Xing Taian remarked.
Lu Hao also nodded, finding a larger conference room with his family and Su Jin; they placed items on the conference table, surrounded it with folding beds, and there was even a small room inside that could accommodate several ladies, which was just perfect for the Heart Talk Team.
Kou Ning quickly snatched a small records room next to the Heart Talk Team’s conference room. Although it was narrow and filled with materials scattered on the floor, it was more than enough for him alone.
“Su Jin, Su Jin, what ti are we eating?”
The conference room door was knocked, and Kou Ning’s voice sounded from outside.
“In about half an hour…”
After thinking for a while, Su Jin still took out so braised at and at pies, then placed a box filled with ice packs beside them, pretending these were taken out from the foam ice box.
Having finished all this, Lin Xiuyuan then opened the door, laughed, and said, “You really are the first when it cos to eating.”
“Of course, it’s picnic ti today~~”
Kou Ning deftly ca in, curiously looking at the ingredients and cooking utensils laid out on the eting table. It was his first ti seeing Su Jin preparing to cook; previously, they had always eaten ready-made als, which were said to have been prepared by Su Jin.
“Dad, let’s give this small box of crispy at to Captain Xing and his team, and these vegetables I accelerated,”
Su Jin said. Those green vegetables were, of course, from the space, but since she could even accelerate the growth of forests, no one would suspect anything even if she took out a truckload of vegetables now.
“Sure, I’ll go right now,”
Su Xiangzhe said cheerfully.
“What kind of at is this crispy at, you’ve sent it all out, is there any left for to eat?”
Kou Ning asked.
“Crispy at, it’s made by cutting so mutant animal at, marinating it for a while, then coating it with flour and starch before frying it until cooked. This way the moisture evaporates, not only making it easy to preserve but also making the outer layer tender so that the at doesn’t feel too tough when eaten,”
Su Jin explained as she took out a portion of frozen crispy at from the foam box and put it into the stear, casually inventing the process to Kou Ning.
“That sounds delicious and so impressive,”
Kou Ning’s mouth watered disastrously; his eyes were also glued to the stear heating up on the outdoor stove.
Huang Yunxiang was skillfully cooking a big pot of noodles, beside which there were a large plate of ho-grown bean sprouts and blanched wood ear strips, along with a big bowl of ice water.
What really made everyone drool was the jars of condints – there was plenty of Sichuan peppercorn oil and chili oil.
“Mom, are we having cold noodles tonight?”
Lin Xiuyuan asked, looking at the ingredients.
“Yes, it’s simple and convenient, and most importantly, it’s refreshing to eat in this heat,”
Huang Yunxiang responded. In reality, their cold noodles would also include various julienned cucumbers and the like, but since there were others around today, they had to make do with what was available.
“That’s great, I just love this,”
Lu Guanhai said. No one in the family disliked cold noodles; the noodles, all handmade and mixed with various sauces, were incomparably chewy.
As expected, Kou Ning had no interest in cold noodles, but accompanied by crispy and stewed ats, he also ate a large half-bowl and even let out a loud, satisfied burp.
“Su Jin, has your Mutant Man-Eating Flower wilted yet?”
Kou Ning didn’t forget to ask before leaving.
“No, they are still eating…”
Su Jin smiled, which is why after topping up her family’s Special Abilities earlier, her Special Ability was full again.
“That’s good, that’s good,”
Kou Ning then left, looking relieved and apparently very concerned about those few Man-Eating Flowers.
“You know, this Kou Ning sotis acts like a child,”
Lin Tianhui said, smiling while she packed up.
“Yeah, he’s really innocent, our old man is always hoping he’ll eat more,”
Huang Yunxiang replied. Now that Lin Yunguo had used up a large pot of fried crispy at in the space, he would definitely be delighted to hear it was all consud.
In the space, Su Jin, accompanied by Lu Hao, went to the alleys of H City via the Teleportation Array and killed Zombies for a few hours, using up all her Special Abilities before returning again to rest.
