[You think I'm happy to have such a host?] The system's tone showed such a strong fluctuation for the first time.

This kid always acts like he's the boss, and he does whatever he wants no matter what I say.

[This kid's got a twisted mind. You probably already know why most of those zombies were beautiful women when they were alive, right?]

[And he keeps saying and doing stupid things, it's really hard for me.]

The system spoke, its voice even carrying a hint of a sob.

"I had no choice. Who knew he'd be such a useless, twisted, and stupid person? The problem is, I can only change his bindings after he dies, but since he died before completing his mission, I have to be punished. Do you know how hard it is for me?"

Seeing that the system wanted to continue talking and had no intention of stopping, Li Xuanzu made up a reason and fled the scene.

The system also fell silent.

When the sun was high in the sky, Liang Lezhan sat up with a yawn.

It wasn't entirely by itself that I woke up; rather, a fragrant aroma wafted into my nostrils.

"Hmph, let me show you my skills." Fu Yu looked at the vegetables in Ouyang Ningxue's SUV and had an idea.

Without further ado, Li Xuanzu, who was quick on his feet, found a place to wash the vegetables, while he heated up the induction cooker and prepared to start cooking.

Ouyang Ningxue was in charge of generating electricity using a human-powered generator, and Dahei could barely help out.

After a busy day, a simple home-style dish, "blanched bok choy," was ready.

Of course, easy-to-store crops such as green beans and potatoes were also used in the dishes.

As for meat, there are many pre-made dishes that you can just heat up.

Liang Lezhan followed the aroma and came over. He saw a bowl and chopsticks on a long table made up of two tables pushed together. Without thinking, he picked up the bowl of rice and started eating.

First of all, he himself has little manners. He's used to running rampant in the apocalypse, so even if he did have some, there wouldn't be much left.

Secondly, he really hadn't eaten a normal meal. The supplies the system provided were just enough to keep him fed. Even though there was plenty of fresh meat and vegetables, he had absolutely no cooking skills.

His 8-to-9 job before the apocalypse didn't allow him time to learn cooking.

With both factors combined, he was so hungry that he didn't even notice that someone was missing from the table.

"Hey, what are you doing? This isn't for you." Ouyang Ningxue said, her disgust undisguised.

Liang Lezhan was startled and looked up at Ouyang Ningxue, still with the food in his mouth.

"What? Can't I eat?" Liang Lezhan's tone was unfriendly. He was only afraid of Li Xuanzu. He had seen this woman before and she was not much stronger than him.

"Forget it, Sister Ouyang, it's just a matter of adding another set of chopsticks and a bowl. He's cooperating with Brother Li, so there's no need for that." Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Fu Yu quickly tried to smooth things over.

Qian Li also disliked this person, but if she spoke again now, she would offend Fu Yu, so she lowered her head and ate her meal by herself.

Ouyang Ningxue understood this as well, so she had no choice but to give up. However, she picked up the food a little faster, as if she wanted to finish it all by herself.

"Tch, mind your own business." Liang Lezhan couldn't even eat properly, he had to say that.

[Liang Lezhan, have you lost your mind? Didn't you notice someone's missing from the table?]

The system's voice sounded at the right time.

Liang Lezhan ate a few mouthfuls of food before he noticed.

What about Li Xuanzu?

Liang Lezhan looked at Fu Yu squatting next to the rice cooker, then looked down at his own bowl, which was much larger than everyone else's, and realized something was wrong.

"No, Liang Lezhan, are you trying to rebel?" Li Xuanzu was wiping his wet hair with a towel, while his other hand gently rested on Liang Lezhan's head.

"You think you can just open your mouth and eat? Can't you give me a heads-up? Or do you want to eat your last meal before you're executed?" Li Xuanzu tightened his grip, causing Liang Lezhan to scream in pain.

He was annoyed because this guy didn't eat properly. If he had talked to Fu Yu properly, it would have been just an extra set of chopsticks and a bowl, and Li Xuanzu wouldn't have made things difficult for him over a meal.

"Ah! I was wrong, I was wrong, brother. I'll be more careful next time!" Liang Lezhan quickly stood up and stood respectfully to the side.

Li Xuanzu glanced at the bowls and chopsticks Liang Lezhan had used with some disdain, then pressed him down again.

"Stop showing off like this. The thing inside you won't be able to save you a second time." Li Xuanzu took the bowl and chopsticks from Fu Yu and started eating together.

Liang Lezhan was neither sitting nor standing properly. Holding his bowl, he didn't pick up any food and just finished a whole bowl of rice.
