Chapter 489 Lunch Included

The three bases are not far apart, in fact, they are very close.

They chose to locate in the same city so that they could help each other.

Although the three bases are in competition, they are ultimately all part of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Behind closed doors, you can tug at each other's hair, but once the doors are open, you must unite against the common enemy—zombies are the eternal foe.

Because of the large number of survivors, the Western Province has always been powerful, but it also has a particularly high demand for supplies.

After all, there are as many mouths to feed as there are people, and every mouth needs to eat, so the burden on the three bases is particularly heavy.

In particular, in the early stages, each base offered many benefits to attract survivors in order to expand, which made life sweet when resources were easy to obtain in the early stages, but miserable in the later stages.

They were barely managing to stay afloat before, but now, due to the eternal night, the zombies have become much stronger, making it increasingly difficult for the bases to obtain supplies, leaving them living in dire straits.

Chen Le slapped his forehead and said, "Oh right, I forgot about that. Zombies are much stronger at night than during the day. It's eternal night in Xi Province now, and the zombies are getting stronger, so it's not easy for superhumans to deal with them."

"yes."

Liao Feng nodded: "But even if the zombies are difficult to deal with, we still have to go out and find supplies. The food produced at the base is not enough to solve everyone's food problem. The most important way to obtain supplies now is to go out and find them."

"I see. Then how far is the Guardian Base from here?"

"It's not far, about thirty kilometers," Liao Feng replied. "Actually, there aren't many supplies left in these places, but we don't dare go to places that are too far away, so we can only see if we can find any leftovers."

However, they didn't manage to find a bargain, and they almost lost everything.

The group of zombies just now moved with a sense of control, as if they were being controlled by a high-level zombie. If they were caught up, they would definitely be no match for them.

Pei Yi nodded, then invited, "Are you going to look for supplies again, or are you going back to base?"

"Let's go back to base."

Liao Feng did not hesitate.

This area has high-level zombies, so he definitely needs to get back to base as soon as possible to avoid encountering them again, otherwise he won't be so lucky.

This matter needs to be reported to the base so that a high-level superhuman can be dispatched to resolve it.

"We also want to go to the Guardian Base. Could you show us the way? Of course, it will be for a fee."

"OK."

Liao Feng readily agreed.

I didn't find anything this time, but I'll earn some money for directions along the way.

Have you eaten?

"without."

Liao Feng felt a little embarrassed. They only ate one meal a day, and they hadn't eaten today because they had just been chased by zombies.

They didn't have much food left in their bags, and even if they hadn't encountered these zombies, they would have had to go back anyway.

"OK."

Pei Yi seemed to ask casually, then stood up and said, "Then you all sit down, I'll go and get back to work."

"You guys go about your business."

Liao Feng actually lived a fairly comfortable life at the Guardian Base, not only because he had certain abilities, but also because he had a mother with the ability to fly.

That's right, the woman in her fifties is his mother.

It's extremely rare for someone of that age to awaken superpowers.

Liao Feng never expected that in the apocalypse, his mother would not only not become a burden to him, but would also continue to 'work' to support him. In fact, he was able to become the captain of this team partly because of his mother's support.

However, with the arrival of Eternal Night, Liao Feng was worried about his mother working as before, fearing she might encounter danger.

They only decided to go out on a mission when their food supplies were almost gone.

Pei Yi and the others were all busy with their own things.

Liao Feng's team sat in a corner, not daring to glance around. Occasionally, they would catch a glimpse of the people and immediately look away, afraid of displeasing them.

"Fengfeng, shall we eat?" Liao's mother asked softly.

"Eat."

Upon hearing this, Liao's mother took off the flat backpack she was carrying on her back. Before she could even unzip it, she saw the space ability user approaching, and she immediately dared not move.

Shen Nianshen took out a rectangular table from his spatial storage and set it up between them: "The table is a bit small, please make do with it."

"Thank you, but it's not necessary."

Liao Feng thanked Shen Nianshen, thinking that Shen Nianshen had kindly brought out the table to make it easier for them to eat, but their meal consisted of only simple compressed biscuits, so they didn't need the table at all.

"How will you eat without a table?"

Shen Nianshen said something, then saw Liao's mother's bag and immediately realized what was going on, explaining, "You're helping the adults with directions, we're here to provide meals."

"ah?"

These words stunned Liao Feng and the others.

board?

Is it the lunchbox they're thinking of?

"These are all basics."

As Shen Nianshen was speaking, Chen Xiaoying's voice came from behind: "Brother Nianshen, move aside, I'm bringing the dishes."

"Um."

In no time, the rectangular table was filled with four dishes and a soup: stir-fried pork, Sichuan-style chicken, stir-fried water spinach, beef stew with tomatoes and potatoes, and pork bone and chestnut soup.

"???"

Do these dishes actually exist?

Chen Xiaoying brought a large pot of rice to the table: "Alright, that's all the food. You can eat."

After saying that, the little girl skipped away.

Liao Feng and the others exchanged glances, then he said to his mother, "Mom, pinch me." Upon hearing this, she acted swiftly and without mercy, pinching him hard: "Ouch~"

"It's true."

"Eat, eat, eat."

"Never mind!"

Eating it is a win.

Even if these people regret it later and don't want them to eat anymore, they've already eaten it, so they can't just spit it out, can they?

It's okay if you throw it up. It's been so long since I've tasted this flavor. You can't lose out either way.

Everyone quickly served the rice. The steaming white rice had a delicate wheat aroma: "How come I never noticed before that rice smells so good?"

Liao Feng didn't even pick up a single bite of food, and instead ate a whole bowl of plain white rice before remembering to eat any vegetables.

As for Ling Ran and the others, they naturally ate their meal earlier than the others.

Everyone remained unmoved by Liao Feng and the others' excitement, having experienced this scene far too many times before.

After finishing her meal, Ling Ran prepared to take a nap.

Uncle Chen and the others were still busy cleaning up the dishes, but since Liao Feng and others had taken the initiative to help them finish the food today, it saved them some trouble. They then prepared the food for dinner in advance so that cooking would be faster.

While helping to clear the dishes, Liao Feng and the others asked Uncle Chen and the others about some things, of course, they were all simple matters.

For example, is this the kind of meal they ate for lunch today, or is it something they have every day?

"Of course, in the past, people who worked for adults were given meals as a basic service."
