The half-meter-long mutant fish was braised, topped with glass noodles that had absorbed all the broth, and sprinkled with a handful of green cilantro before serving.

There's also the colorful and crisp lotus root stir-fry, which has everyone's mouths watering. They wish they could become the spatula in Xinghe's hand and lick the broth from the bottom of the pot!

Zhou Yanli looked at the thin, watery noodles in the pot and found them tasteless!

The movement of picking up the noodles was extremely slow, almost like a child dawdling when being picky about food.

When Xinghe started heating the oil in the wok again, Wang Yanan couldn't take it anymore. She wrapped the multigrain pancake in her hand with a cloth and then crushed it!

Looking at Gu Mingyue, who was sitting at the dining table and elegantly eating, the envy in his eyes almost turned into jealousy.

"Little sister, no, sister, great-grandmother, aren't you all full yet? I'm so hungry I want to bang my head against the wall. If you cook two more dishes, I'm going to risk being chased by the monster tree and rush out."

"I know you two living ancestors are living a good life, please stop provoking me, a poor soul in this apocalypse!" The pleading in her eyes was almost tangible.

Gu Mingyue divided two small bowls of food for the little wolf and the little snake, remembering that Wang Yanan had wanted to share one of her few remaining grain cakes with her.

Suddenly, she remembered how in her past life she and others fought fiercely over a piece of coarse grain cake, even to the point of trying to kill each other. Those were truly miserable times!

She smiled and said to Wang Yanan, "I'd really like to try the multigrain pancakes you have, Captain Wang. Would you like to come and eat with us?"

Wang Yanan regretted her words as soon as she finished speaking. Thinking of how Gu Mingyue had beaten Zheng Yu and the other man so badly that they were running away in a panic, her muscles trembled. Maybe she should just run out and have some fun with the shrewish tree right now.

Unexpectedly, Gu Mingyue invited her to eat together. Her expression froze for half a second, and seeing Gu Mingyue's smiling face was like seeing an angel.

She quickly ran to sit down opposite her: "Sister Gu, you are so generous. This is the first time I, Wang Yanan, have met such a good person."

Wang Yanan may seem like a woman who doesn't care about details, but she doesn't indulge in excessive eating and drinking that would annoy people.

He asked Gu Mingyue for a bowl and chopsticks, and before the chopsticks even touched his mouth, he put all the food he wanted into the bowl. He stopped eating before the food was level with the rim of the bowl.

The moment the food entered her mouth, she was overwhelmed by its fragrance, as if her soul had floated to heaven.

Mom! It's been so long since she's had such crisp and tender lotus root slices!

The mutated fish meat tasted so delicious! One bite and she felt energized, and her injuries seemed to have stopped hurting.

To fully appreciate the flavors of the dishes, Wang Yanan chewed very slowly, chewing each bite 28 times before reluctantly swallowing it.

The others were now gazing longingly at the abundant food on Gu Mingyue's table, hoping that Gu Mingyue would invite them to eat as well, but unfortunately Gu Mingyue had no such intention.

They could only cast a part of their jealous gaze at Wang Yanan, while looking enviously at the little dog who was also able to eat at the table, tears of envy streaming down their faces!

Before the apocalypse, when I was a corporate slave, I wanted to be a rich person's dog. Now that the apocalypse is over, I still want to be a dog for a superpowered person!

Zheng Yu and Lin Meier felt extremely resentful at this moment. Watching Gu Mingyue and the others eat with relish, their resentment deepened.

Gu Mingyue is so lucky. She was pampered by her mother when she was a child, and now she can meet such a loyal and handsome subordinate in the apocalypse.

She's skilled at everything from killing monsters to cooking, yet she's always put first in everything—it's infuriating!

After finishing her meal, Gu Mingyue asked Wang Yanan for a multigrain pancake and took a small bite.

"Gu Meizi, those multigrain pancakes still have bits of shell mixed in. If you don't like them, don't eat them," Wang Yanan advised. She thought Gu Mingyue was just giving her an out by saying they should eat together, but she didn't expect Gu Mingyue to actually eat her food.

Gu Mingyue had eaten plenty of this stuff in her previous life, and wanted to reminisce about the bitter past, but she was choked by the strange taste and rough texture as soon as she took a bite.

Then find a tissue and spit it all out.

"Captain Wang, your multigrain pancakes have gone bad!"

It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality, so Gu Mingyue wiped her mouth and stopped her reminiscing about past hardships.

Wang Yanan: ...

"He who eats another's food is bound to him." Just because Gu Mingyue treated her to that lavish meal earlier, she could tolerate Gu Mingyue's 99 non-fatal minor flaws!

She silently walked back to her bed, thinking that Gu Mingyue had just treated her to a big meal, and she should let her have this bed to rest properly.

Turning my head, I saw a scene that made my eyes light up with envy, making me want to explode on the spot.

The man in the white uniform cleared away the tableware and took out a soft single bed, earplugs, and an eye mask from his storage space.

Okay, okay! It's not surprising that someone with spatial abilities would take in a few beds.

But when Xinghe took out a screen to completely block Gu Mingyue's view.

At the same time, they took out a large, equally soft-looking cushion.

Place it on the ground!

When the mutated Czech wolfhound curled its tail and lay down in its cozy little bed, everyone's guard was broken!

That's outrageous!

Do you know where we are? Are we hiding in a hospital and running for our lives?

Those huddled together on the cold floor tiles were aching all over; sitting or lying down was uncomfortable.

I wish I could possess that cushion and become a dog!

Someone kept watch at night. Gu Mingyue went out once and sent Xinghe into the space, telling the person that Xinghe was going to check the coverage of the vines outside.

The Night Watchman, considering Xinghe's terrifying spatial abilities, didn't suspect anything and waved for her to go back and rest.

Gu Mingyue returned to her bed intending to take a short nap, but her eyelids grew heavier and heavier. Just before falling asleep, she suddenly felt terrible.

"Woof woof woof!" The little wolf barked before falling into a coma.

The small snake was highly resistant to venom and desperately thrashed at Gu Mingyue with its head.

Gu Mingyue sensed something was wrong and suddenly opened her eyes, only to find the ward door wide open.

A woman in white was seen being bitten on the calf by a wolf cub. She frantically pushed open the door and fled, leaving a trail of blood.

Looking around, they saw that the watchman had somehow fallen asleep.

Everyone was sleeping soundly, and the air was filled with a very sweet fragrance, unlike ether, but capable of inducing drowsiness.

The potted plants by the windows and doors have been damaged, and the vines outside are pounding against the windows, eager to break in.

Gu Mingyue quickly put gas masks on herself and Xiao Lang, then shook Wang Yanan and the others awake.

Wang Yanan and the others opened their eyes, their gazes still dazed and listless. "Gu... Sister, why aren't you sleeping?" she said lazily.

Seeing them like this, Gu Mingyue felt even more uneasy.

Fortunately, it was past midnight, and a new day had begun.

Xinghe found a secluded corner and emerged from the space, using a spatial barrier to isolate himself from the broken windows outside.

It brought fresh air to everyone.

Wang Yanan and the others finally came to their senses. When they saw that the potted plants next to the window had been smashed, they were immediately enraged and wanted to confront the survivors in the hospital.

The hospital survivors, hearing the noise, also came running over, wearing masks and carrying potted plants.
