Chapter 38 Peace Talks

"Keep going." Lin Jiyuan's voice rang out through the curtain of the convenience store.

His voice is always light, with a slightly dull ending, which makes people feel at ease when listening to it.

"Okay. Pork belly rice is quick to make."

Mo Fei raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and after assuring Lin Jiyuan of her cooking speed, she continued to chop the meat on the chopping board.

After she chopped the pork belly, she began to cut it into slices, while silently reciting in her mind, one slice, two slices, three slices, four slices…

Every time you cut a piece of meat, count it in your mind.

She calculated that with so many people, she wondered how many pieces each person would have, and wondered if she should secretly take out a piece of pork belly from the space.

Anyway, a curtain blocks other people's view.

The rumbling sound of cars outside the hall never stopped.

In the afternoon, Lin Jiye followed his brother's instructions and took two good friends to seal off all other entrances to the car hall, leaving only the entrance where the two cars were parked.

Now, except for Mo Fei's family, several other people were standing at the door of the hall.

Each of them held a Glock pistol with 17 bullets, and they were scattered on both sides with Lin Jiyuan as the center.

Lin Jiyuan looked indifferent, and no one could tell what he was thinking.

But his eyes were fixed on the entrance like a hawk.

Lin Jiye and the other two frowned, their palms sweating with nervousness. Fighting zombies was nothing, but now they were fighting real people.

"If it weren't for looking at you, I would have stood there too."

Mo Zhicheng stood beside the tied-up leper with an unhappy tone.

He could have just stood there with a gun to protect his family, but he was assigned this task.

Laizi: “…” Old man, it’s obviously your daughter who is worried about you at your age and doesn’t want you to rush to the front with knives or guns, so she asked you to stay with me.

She was talking to Lin Jiyuan so loudly, I heard it all, didn’t you hear it?! Ah!

But Laizi didn't dare to say that.

Mo Zhicheng had a bottle of Xbao mineral water in his hand, and Laizi wanted to please Mo Zhicheng by exchanging a few sips of water.

"Yes, yes, yes. If you were here, you would be able to hold off ten thousand men." Laizi said sincerely.

"Do you really think so?" Mo Zhicheng was very happy.

"Of course!"

"Although you don't look good, you are quite good at talking. Which university did you go to and what was your major?"

“…”

Song Yi and the two children were woken up before they had slept for long, so they helped prepare dinner together.

Song Yi cracked eggs into a bowl one by one to make omelettes.

Mo Jianian and Mo Jiayue were responsible for peeling the garlic and then mashing it into garlic paste.

The family members divided the work and cooperated with each other very well.

"Mom, why don't they come in?"

Mo Jianian was peeling garlic while looking in the direction of the door. He was referring to the bad guys that Uncle Lin Jiyuan was going to deal with with a gun.

"Maybe they want to wait until we go out to pick them up." Mo Fei said casually, "Mom, hand me the bowl and I'll make the sauce."

"What kind of sauce did you put in there?" Song Yi asked curiously, watching Mo Fei take out a bottle of red sauce from the space, with words printed on it that were not Chinese.

"The hot sauce of Kimchi Country tends to be sweet and spicy. Today I'm going to teach you how to eat it with the flavor of Kimchi Country. It's very simple, just add a spoonful of light soy sauce, a spoonful of cooking wine, a spoonful of sugar, and half a spoonful of salt, and then squeeze the Kimchi Country hot sauce in and stir it. I'll add this sauce after I finish stir-frying the pork belly. It will be absolutely delicious." Mo Fei said.

"Mom, I'm still sleepy." Mo Jiayue felt that she couldn't open her eyes while peeling garlic, and she kept falling to the side.

"Mom, you can hold Yueyue and go sleep over there for a while. I can do it myself." Mo Fei said.

Song Yi nodded, picked up Mo Jiayue and walked to the corner of the store, patting her granddaughter's back gently, just like she had coaxed her daughter Mo Fei many years ago.

After a while, Mo Jiayue fell asleep again in Song Yi's arms.

Mo Jianian was still following Mo Fei like a little tail.

The big iron pot is convenient to use, but it cannot be used for both frying and cooking at the same time.

Mo Fei placed an ordinary pot on the simple stove and used it to steam rice.

Due to the hot weather and high fire, the rice cooked quickly.

The fragrance started to spread after a while.

While waiting for the rice to be cooked, Mo Fei put the pork belly cut into similar sizes into the pan and stir-fried it to release the fragrant fat. He then added minced garlic and onions to sauté the fragrance, and then poured in the sauce he had just prepared and stir-fried for about a minute.

Put the fried pork belly into a disposable bowl and set aside.

Then heat oil in a pan, add eggs and start frying them.

Finally, Mo Fei poured the pork belly, fried eggs, kimchi in bags, shredded seaweed, white sesame seeds, and freshly cooked rice into the large iron pot, and began to stir them like crazy. A pot of pure pork belly bibimbap was ready.

It only took a dozen minutes to do all this.

"Uncle, brother. My mother said it's time to eat, so she asked me to come and call you." Mo Jianian walked to the entrance of the hall and shouted.

The four people nodded with great vigilance, but no one looked back.

"Call it a day. Let's eat." Lin Jiyuan said as he put away his gun.

"Let's eat!" Lin Jiye and the other two happily went to the store as if they had received an imperial decree, and rushed to get their meals.

Outside the gate.

A modified RV was parked at the door, and the engine never stopped running.

There were two tall and strong men standing in four directions outside the car.

Ding Hao had been resting with his eyes closed in the car, and it was unclear whether he fell asleep or not.

An old song that he liked very much, "A Laugh in the Ocean", was playing in the car on repeat.

The song "A Laugh in the Ocean" lasts 2 minutes and 55 seconds, and he has listened to it 6 times.

"Mayor, it looks like they've started eating." A square-faced man knocked on the window of the RV and reported.

"You mean we can't smell it?"

In the driver's seat, the man with a flat nose and fan-shaped ears turned around and glared at the person outside the window.

The square-faced man nodded awkwardly, then stood back in his original position dutifully.

But his gaze kept extending into the hall, wanting to see what was so delicious and smelled so good.

Unfortunately, there was a curtain inside and he couldn't see anything.

If he could have a bite, he would be willing to work like a slave.

The square-faced man couldn't help but glance towards the side of the car and found that his companion had the same expression on his face.

The same hunger and desire.

It’s a pity that it’s not their turn to have such delicious food.

After all, even their "great mayor" Ding Hao rarely eats freshly cooked meals. He basically eats vacuum-packed fast food from chain supermarkets that has not yet rotted or expired.

"Old Four, turn off the song." Ding Hao finally spoke.

"Okay." The fourth brother was stunned for a moment and then immediately did as he was told. Then he found that Ding Hao pushed open the car door and got out of the car.

The fourth brother, Chai Zipeng, got out of the car immediately and followed Ding Hao closely like a shadow.

Everyone in the hall was eating with great grunts, and while eating they took the time to praise Mo Fei crazily.

He was just short of saying that she was the reincarnation of a royal chef, which made Mo Fei very happy.

Lin Jiyuan had the ropes on the beggar's hands untied, but left them on his feet.

Mo Fei handed the rice and chopsticks to Lai Zi.

"I...I have it too?" Laizi had already smelled the fragrance, and his saliva had been drooling for a long time. But in this situation, he was a captive at the mercy of others, how could he have it too? It wouldn't be poisoned! Laizi hadn't even put the rice into his mouth yet, just looking at the bowl of steaming hot bibimbap in his hand, his brain and internal organs were clamoring, don't think about it, eat it quickly! He would accept poisoning him to death.

But he didn't eat as fast as Lin Jiye and the others, but ate very slowly.

Each bite has to be chewed dozens of times before being swallowed.

Mo Fei saw that he was so engrossed in the meal, it seemed as if he could write a 10,000-word "impressions after eating" if given paper and pen.

She curled her lips, thinking it was too exaggerated.

But she immediately realized her own "why not eat meat" thinking.

It has only been three months since the disaster evolution period began.

Three months ago, most people were still living a happy life, going to get off work and coming home every day, and eating and drinking with family and friends.

But your former family members may have become part of the zombie army, and your former friends may have died in the high temperature long ago.

These short three months seemed as long as decades.

Mo Fei was secretly sighing when he saw that group of people showed up.

Mo Fei narrowed his eyes and thought of the information Lai Zi had told them.

The leading man wearing a short-sleeved white shirt and a pair of leather shoes must be Ding Hao, the fire-type mutant.

The person behind him should be Chai Zipeng, the fourth of the four great people with supernatural powers in Hexi Town, whose supernatural power is the art of splitting oneself into two.

I heard that no one knows how many selves Chai Zipeng can differentiate into.

No one knows whether the person in front of you is him or his clone.

As long as his clone survives, he will live forever.

Extremely difficult.

Mo Fei originally thought that the four superpowers would all come, but he didn't expect that only Ding Hao and Chai Zipeng came.

Ding Hao glanced at the hall, spread his hands calmly and said with a smile:

"Don't point the gun at me. I'm not your enemy. If you want, we can become very good friends. In order to show my sincerity in making friends with you, I have specially prepared some gifts. That's why I have been outside and have not come in."

As soon as Ding Hao finished speaking, Chai Zipeng immediately put the two cloth bags in his hands on the ground.

When the bags were opened, one contained instant noodles, biscuits, canned fruits and canned meat, and the other contained a 250ml mineral water bottle, but it seemed that what was filled was not mineral water, but a light blue liquid.

Mo Fei originally sneered at these foods, but when she saw the bottle of light blue water, her breathing suddenly stagnated.

She shouldn't be mistaken, this water seems to be the same as the river in her space?

It’s just that the color of the water in her space is darker than the one Ding Hao brought.

"Brother, this water..." Mo Jiayue wanted to ask something, but was stopped by Mo Jianian.

They drink water of this color every day. The Mo family members all feel vaguely strange, but no one says it out loud.

"Little sister, you are so cute. Do you want some water? Here you go."

Chai Zipeng took out the bottle of water with a "kind" look on his face and handed it to Mo Jiayue.

Mo Jiayue looked at Chai Zipeng warily, showing no desire for the bottle of mineral water.

But Mo Fei suddenly said: "Take it."

Everyone, including Chai Zipeng, was a little surprised that Mo Fei would say that.

Seeing Mo Fei speak, Mo Jiayue took a few steps forward, took it, ran back to his family quickly, and then handed the bottle of water to Mo Fei.

As they got closer, Mo Fei became more certain that the quality of the water in the bottle in front of her was the same as the river water in her space.

Where does this water come from?

Perhaps only people like Ding Hao know the answer to this question.

Ding Hao didn't take the woman and child in front of him seriously at all. He only had Lin Jiyuan in his eyes.

He is the person with the highest level of supernatural power in Hexi Town.

Only he knew that when the superpower level reached level 3 or above, the superpower user could sense something like "danger level".

He had just sat quietly in the RV for more than ten minutes, very close to the car hall.

Always locking in the "danger level" of each target one by one.

But he only felt the sense of oppression from Lin Jiyuan.

This shows that Lin Jiyuan is not only a person with special abilities, but his ability level may not be lower than his.

So Ding Hao naturally regarded Lin Jiyuan as the person in charge here and someone he could talk to.

He spoke first to Lin Jiyuan.

"Brother, my name is Ding Hao. You must have heard about me from the guy next to you." Ding Hao pointed at the beggar who was holding a bowl next to him, "I am sincere in making friends with you. These things on the ground are just greeting gifts. I have already set out good wine and food, as well as iced watermelon, waiting for you to come over. Besides, this place is too shabby, there's not even a bed. You have elderly people and children here, how can you live here? You should just go to my place to rest."

Lin Jiyuan didn't even look at Ding Hao, his expression was indifferent, as if he didn't hear what Ding Hao said at all.

But Ding Hao saw clearly that the gun in this man's hand was always loaded.

The number of lives taken by this man is probably no less than mine.

A tough one.

Ding Hao's smile stiffened a little, and then he restrained himself.

Hexi Town is already his territory. Anything flying in the sky, swimming in the water, or running on the ground, once it passes by him, will have no chance of getting out safely.

Lin Jiye, who had been watching the show nearby, picked his ears and yawned again: "Uncle, you have the wrong person. My brother's words don't count here."

"?" Ding Hao turned to Lin Jiye with a hint of confusion on his face.

"Don't you know that food is the most important thing for people?" Lin Jiye said with disdain, mocking Ding Hao for not even knowing this. In this day and age, of course, whoever feeds you is the boss.

"For food, we have just eaten. For sleep, we have a car. Mayor Ding, why don't you make some other conditions?"

Mo Fei first glanced at Lin Jiyuan, and after their eyes met, she slowly spoke.

It was clear from both her words and her implication that she was the one who had the final say here.

Ding Hao looked at the ordinary short-haired woman in front of him and smiled gently in his heart. In fact, this was the important goal that made him come here in person.

He pretended to understand something and said patiently, "Okay. Just make your demands. We are all friends."

"Nothing. We're exhausted from the journey and just want to drink some water and wash our faces. Not too much, right?" Mo Fei said.

The lecher next to him widened his eyes, not quite understanding the current situation.

He has repeatedly told Mo Fei and the others about the strength and cruelty of Ding Hao and his men. Why, why are they still going into their lair to die?

Because Lin Jiyuan cured his epilepsy and Mo Fei gave him food, Lai Zi had obviously sided with Mo Fei. Sometimes changing one's position is as simple as that.
