Gu Zhongsheng raised his chin and looked at him, his eyes piercing.

Have you decided what your choice is?

What to choose? Lin Zhenzhen looked at Gu Bosheng with a blank expression.

He didn't speak, but the golden light in his eyes was like a nimble fish, its tiny rays swaying gently with each blink.

"You'd better think carefully before you answer." Gu Zhongsheng sneered. "No matter what you choose, after this, I will owe you nothing."

"Okay." Gu Bosheng smiled. "I will seriously consider it."

Gu Zhongsheng frowned, turned his head away, and walked to a corner to sit down on the ground.

Gu Bosheng approached the mutated giant cedar, touching and smelling it, observing it thoughtfully.

Not long after, two zombies dragged a huge animal carcass over.

Lin Zhenzhen curiously approached, and after taking only two steps, one of the lame zombies immediately raised its head and stared at her with its eyes glowing green.

"Smack!"

Another zombie nearby slapped the lame zombie hard on the back of the head, turning his head into a spinning top.

After spinning wildly countless times, the large head finally came to a slow stop and bowed respectfully.

However, Lin Zhenzhen still saw a string of crystal clear and elastic drool.

With a "duang," the sound slowly extended from the corner of his mouth to the ground.

Gu Zhongsheng spoke, uttering a string of incomprehensible notes.

The two zombies exchanged a glance, put the corpse down, and turned to leave.

Lin Zhenzhen couldn't stand the hot, bloody smell and covered her nose, asking, "What are you doing?"

Gu Zhongsheng looked up at her and said, "I'm hungry, let's eat."

As he spoke, he tore off a piece of red meat, threw it into his mouth, and began to crunch it without any expression.

Seeing that the two of them were looking at him without making a move, Gu Zhongsheng raised an eyebrow provocatively.

"What? If you don't want to eat it, I'll eat it all by myself."

Lin Zhenzhen's expression instantly became somewhat indescribable.

From a psychological perspective, she absolutely cannot accept eating raw meat.

But from another perspective, she is a fox variant, and still retains the killing genes that belong to animals.

A voice kept yelling in my head: Go eat it! It was just killed, so fresh! Meat is best eaten with the skin and blood on!

Human reason and animal instincts are locked in a fierce struggle, but ultimately the human element prevails.

"Eat. But you can't just eat like this."

Lin Zhenzhen picked up the mutated animal by the head and could barely make out that it was a giant chicken.

"Chicken, oh, chicken doesn't taste good." She immediately looked disgusted. "Oh well, I'll just have to make do."

Lin Zhenzhen looked up at Gu Zhongsheng: "Could you light a fire for me?"

Two hours later.

A huge crater appeared on the ground, with a raging fire burning inside, and a dark, indistinct object buried in the fire.

"After all this time, what exactly are you doing?"

"It should be about time." Lin Zhenzhen estimated the time. "Give me some more water to put out the fire."

Gu Zhongsheng frowned, but still did as she said.

"Finally, could you please help me take this thing out and split it open?"

Gu Zhongsheng narrowed his eyes: "Are you ordering me around?"

Lin Zhenzhen quickly waved her hand, "No, no, I wouldn't dare."

Inner monologue: What else?

Gu Bosheng, who was standing to the side, said softly, "Let me do it."

Gu Zhongsheng sneered and pushed him away, taking the things out of the pit.

With one punch, the already dried-out soil immediately shattered and scattered all over the ground.

Looking at the dark, unidentified object in front of him, Gu Zhongsheng clicked his tongue and asked, "What is this thing?"

"It's delicious!" Lin Zhenzhen peeled back the layers of leaves covering the chicken, revealing the white, fluffy meat inside.

"This is beggar's chicken!"

Lin Zhenzhen tore off a small piece and put it in her mouth. The chicken was tender and juicy, but the only downside was that it was bland because there was no seasoning.

Lin Zhenzhen painstakingly tore off a chicken leg and presented it to Gu Bosheng with both hands.

"General, please eat."

Gu Bosheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you."

Lin Zhenzhen ran back and tore off another chicken leg, this time giving it to Gu Zhongsheng.

He sat on the ground, looked up at her with a half-smile, and said, "You really are fair to everyone."

"Fine, I won't eat then." Lin Zhenzhen turned to leave.

Gu Zhongsheng grabbed her and snatched the chicken leg away.

"Why not eat it? This is my food."

Gu Zhongsheng opened his mouth and bit down hard, his sharp teeth particularly conspicuous in the flickering firelight.

In contrast, Gu Bosheng's eating manners were much more refined.

Unlike Gu Zhongsheng's rough eating style, he first tore the chicken into small strips with his hands, then put them into his mouth and chewed them slowly.

"Is it good?" Lin Zhenzhen looked at him, her bright eyes full of anticipation.

Gu Bosheng lowered his eyes slightly: "It's delicious."

Gu Zhongsheng, who was not far away, scoffed, "What's so delicious about it? It has no flavor at all. It's better to eat it raw."

Despite saying that, he still gnawed the one-meter-long chicken leg clean, leaving not a single bone fragment.

Where did you learn all these strange and unusual things?

"What do you mean by strange and unusual? This is my hometown dish, okay!"

Lin Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. Since she had already given away both chicken legs, she obediently started gnawing on the chicken wings.

After Gu Zhongsheng had finished most of the remaining chicken, Gu Bosheng was still slowly eating the chicken leg he had started with.

Lin Zhenzhen realized that he was in an extremely weak state, and even biting meat was difficult for him.

"Sheng, could you find some salt and rice?"

After Gu Zhongsheng finished eating and drinking, he placed his hands on his knees and looked at her with amusement: "Rice and salt? Did you come here on vacation?"

In the post-apocalyptic world, the yield of refined grains is low, with only tens of thousands of acres of rice paddies across the entire continent, all of which are distributed within the four war zone cities.

Aside from supplying the upper echelons, it circulates only among high-level ability users. The seasoning bottles are even more valuable; the analogy of a single gram being worth a fortune is no exaggeration.

Lin Zhenzhen frowned: "The general is currently ill, and his stomach will feel uncomfortable if he only eats meat. I'd like to cook some porridge for him."

"Heh." Gu Zhongsheng said sarcastically, "You make such a fuss over a little injury. I don't know if you're saying he's delicate and precious or praising your thoughtfulness."

Lin Zhenzhen pouted: "If we can't find it, then forget it."

Then another important question came to her mind: "Where will we rest tonight?"

Gu Zhongsheng stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky.

Lin Zhenzhen looked up and saw only endless darkness.
