At the street corner, there's a white, Instagram-worthy cafe with a locked door. Outside, there are brown parasols and wooden tables and chairs.

There were no zombies wandering around this street, and there were many tall green plants on both sides of the street, and the air smelled much better.

Li Xin'er and her group got off the car and decided to rest there for a while.

Li Feng stamped his stiff and numb legs, looked around in surprise, and said:

"This place hasn't been damaged much. It seems like no one lives around here?"

He is from S City and only comes to Hai City for work, so he doesn't have much free time and is not familiar with Hai City.

Li Yiyuan checked back and forth between the two streets, and only after confirming that there was no danger did he come over to talk to him.

"Yeah, this area is full of cafes and bookstores, there are no residential areas, and there's a tourist attraction next door. There's no one here at night, so there are few zombies."

As Li Yiyuan spoke, he grabbed a broom from the entrance of a shop and began cleaning the stains on the car.

This car was driving recklessly through the zombie horde, which didn't look very good.

I even have a bit of a urge to seduce...

Li Feng also helped, using his water-based abilities to wash the car. He asked curiously,

"Is Brother Li from Haishi?"

Li Yiyuan nodded, "Mm."

The orphanage was located in the suburbs of Haishi, and he and Xinxin also grew up and studied in Haishi.

The two chatted casually, working together seamlessly. One poured water, while the other swept and cleaned the car, and soon it was back to a presentable condition.

"Come and have something to eat."

At this moment, Li Xin'er called out to everyone.

Seeing that Li Xin'er had set out a table full of food and drinks at some point, they noticed that Li Xin'er had done so.

Li Feng's eyes lit up, and he left Li Yiyuan behind, running over there eagerly.

"Wow, Sister Xin, I can't accept this."

"I'm in a good mood today, so I'm treating you all. Don't expect me to come every meal from now on."

As she spoke, Li Xin'er again called to the embarrassed Xiao Mi and Xiao Mai,

"Come on, relax, don't be shy. We're buddies who fought our way out of a horde of zombies together."

It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned. As soon as it was brought up, Xiaomi and Xiaomai recalled those bloody things, and their expressions changed drastically.

However, it wasn't too exaggerated; he stopped gagging, but his brows were furrowed like an old man's.

Li Xin'er laughed heartily as she watched the two of them having fun.

"Hahaha."

I handed a bottle of mineral water to someone.

The two were flattered; Xiao Mi blushed and stammered.

"Thank you, thank you... Sister Xin."

Wheat's personality is more outgoing and cheerful; she said generously:

"Thank you, Sister Xin!"

Li Xin'er waved her hand dismissively.

"You are welcome."

"Come and eat, it'll get cold soon. It tastes better when there are more people. You're all my companions."

He also reminded the others,

Wash your hands before eating!

She had just wiped herself with disinfectant wipes.

Li Feng once again volunteered to act as the water tap.

"Come on, everyone, come and wash your hands."

Li Yiyuan also came over, without any hesitation, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Li Feng stared at the table full of hot dishes and rice, rubbing his hands excitedly.

"I haven't had a hot meal in ages, I'd be more than happy to be this kind of 'tool'! Sister Xin is simply my goddess."

Xiaomi and Xiaomai nodded vigorously in agreement.

Braised fish, braised pork ribs, cola chicken wings, shredded pork with garlic sauce, lily bulbs and shrimp, dry-fried green beans, spicy blood curd, and okra stir-fried with eggs.

The five people were very satisfied with the eight dishes.

When Li Xin'er brought out hot dishes, the four of them were surprisingly unanimous; none of them asked any questions or made any mention of it, and they all buried themselves in their own food.

Li Xin'er didn't care about that; she wanted to eat and wanted everyone to eat together, so she did.

As for things like exposing space or hiding strength, I didn't even think about those.

She went to all that trouble to hoard so much stuff so that she could enjoy it, not to hide it from them and eat dry rations in the freezing cold.

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

The five of them ate and chatted merrily.

"If this continues, there will be more and more zombies on the streets, and it will be difficult to go out in the future."

Today they saw that many streets were blocked, mostly by broken-down vehicles.

The zombies, hearing the commotion, will gather in one place, eventually forming hordes of zombies, and then even more...

Li Yiyuan understood what most people were thinking.

"Many people haven't realized what's happening yet. Some are taking a chance and think that if they wait a little longer, the storm might pass. Others think that if they wait a little longer, a rescue team will arrive."

Xiaomi frowned, and suddenly the chicken wings in her hand didn't taste so good anymore.

"Will there really be a rescue team?"

I wonder how her parents are doing now.

I can't bear to think about it; just thinking about it makes me want to cry. I dare not think about it.

Xiaomi buried her head and kept shoveling rice into her mouth.

The atmosphere at the table became somewhat heavy. After seeing the situation outside today, everyone knew in their hearts that the rescue was probably doomed.

The first wave of zombies mutated after they fainted. When they woke up, many of the non-mutated people were bitten before they could even react.

They also saw zombies roaming the police station today, not to mention the military camp, where the greater the number of people, the greater the risk, and the estimated losses would be even more severe.

Even if there were rescue teams, where would they go to rescue people? And where would they find so many manpower and resources to go door-to-door to rescue people?

Li Xin'er was the least affected by this somber mood. She finished eating first, wiped her mouth, and said casually:

"Instead of waiting for the rescue team, we should rely on ourselves."

Li Feng nodded in agreement, then casually asked about Xiaomi and Xiaomai.

"Yeah, it's not even certain if there's a rescue team. By the way, Xiaomi and Xiaomai, where are you from?"
