Zhou Xinran's eyes lit up when he saw the two of them.
"Old Xia, Little Bao, are you resting well?"
"Hmm." The two of them came over and greeted each other briefly.
"Have you eaten? Come and have some with us." Just a moment ago she was worried about not having enough food, but now she was casually inviting the two of them to eat. Zhou Xinran never worries for more than three minutes.
Peng Yu was also worried about the food problem. Seeing how carefree Zhou Xinran was, he rolled his eyes at the ceiling.
At worst, we'll both go hungry. The young master isn't in a hurry, so why is he?
"We've already eaten." Xia Feng and Lin Xuan certainly wouldn't share their meager rations, especially since the pot of potato and cured meat soup looked rather unappetizing.
"Zhou Lerui, eat!" Zhou Xinran called to his still bewildered sister to eat. He thought that if she did anything reckless again, he would knock her unconscious. This was a really good idea.
"Zhou Xinran! You actually knocked me out! How could you do this to me? You're my own brother!" Zhou Lerui finally came to her senses and went to eat, grumbling all the while.
Yao Yao had already served the young lady her meal, and Sun Youmei had also prepared water for her to wash up.
Before the apocalypse, the two of them were this rich young lady's followers. Now, they rely on this woman's brother for food, clothing, and safety, so they are even more attentive to her.
Zhou Lerui was still wearing the same high heels as yesterday, and she swayed over to wash up and have dinner.
Lin Xuan felt that the heel was at least 7cm; this Miss Zhou was something else.
When they passed Lin Xuan and Xia Feng, Zhou Xinran paused for a moment. Then he came over to introduce them, emphasizing that these two were the ones who had saved them yesterday.
Zhou Lerui thanked them reservedly. One of them looked fierce and was difficult to get along with, while the other was cute, soft, and still had baby fat. What a pair of uncle and loli!
Thinking back to the scene I secretly witnessed yesterday where Xia Feng brutally beat up the mutated deer, I was horrified to learn that his second brother had such a ruthless friend.
Peng Ze had already put the bedding on the ground into his spatial storage; his group was lacking everything.
Lin Xuan released a sofa from her space, and she and Xia Feng sat on it to wait for Zhou Xinran to finish his meal before setting off together.
After washing up, Zhou Lerui asked Peng Ze for a chair, elegantly scooped a spoonful of soup from her bowl, and put it in her mouth.
"Pfft! Cough cough cough cough..."
"What is this? It tastes awful." Zhou Lerui was devastated; her life had plummeted since the apocalypse.
At the beginning, the villa's basement was stocked with a wide variety of ingredients, and the villa's cook was still alive at that time.
Although the food wasn't as good as before, I could still manage to eat a few bites.
Later, the cook suddenly turned into a zombie and bit one of her best friends to death.
After the cook died, there was no one left in the villa who knew how to cook.
Among the short ones, only Yao Yao had ever made a loving bento box for her boyfriend, so the task of cooking fell to her.
Yao Yao didn't want to cook for so many people by herself, but it seemed that the only useless people left in the whole villa were her and Zhou Lerui.
Zhou Lerui is Zhou Xinran's younger sister, and Zhou Xinran can't possibly abandon her; now she's all alone.
At this point, she dared not say no. Those who have no value are the first to be abandoned; she understood this principle.
Although Yao Yao had cooked a few meals before, they were all semi-finished products. She would just heat them up, stir-fry them in a pan, and plate them nicely.
Now that she's actually cooking for seven or eight people, all she can do is ensure the food is cooked through; the taste is entirely up to luck.
Furthermore, the remaining ingredients were dwindling, and much of them were rotten, making the food increasingly unpalatable.
Miss Zhou threw a few tantrums, but there was nothing that could be done. If she didn't eat, she would just go hungry, and her brother wouldn't tolerate her poor habits.
"What is this? It tastes awful! I don't want to eat this, waah..." Zhou Lerui threw the whole bowl away and broke down in tears. She was really fed up with this apocalypse.
Peng Ze swiftly caught the soup bowl and put it into his spatial storage. This one was crying and wouldn't eat anymore, which was perfect since he didn't have enough to eat.
Zhou Xinran was so angry that his head ached. He was so annoyed by his sister. She could eat more than him, a superhuman, every day. What was even more hateful was that she was picky about food. At a time like this, she was still being willful and throwing a tantrum.
"Zhou Lerui, shut your mouth! Do you want to attract zombies? If you don't eat, you'll go hungry. If you cry again, I'll really beat you up."
Seeing her brother lose his temper, Zhou Lerui's crying immediately subsided. She sat in the chair sobbing for a long time; she was really hungry.
The pot was scraped clean, not a single grain of rice was left, and the soup pot was so shiny it looked like it had just been washed. After a month in the apocalypse, everyone realized the preciousness of food and dared not waste it.
He kicked Peng Ze, who was squatting down to eat, and said, "Hey, Star Boy, did you hide some snacks? Hand them over."
Peng Ze shifted his position, quickly took out the bowl of soup he had just received, and gulped it down in one go; he wasn't full.
“Hey! Peng Xiaozhe, you…” Seeing Zhou Lerui poking at Peng Ze again, Zhou Xinran immediately went over and gave him a hand slap on the head.
The blow made Zhou Lerui see stars and her head buzz.
"Ouch~ It hurts so much! You actually hit me! Are you even my real brother? Waaah..." Seeing that his wronged sister was about to wail again, Zhou Xinran clenched his fist and shoved it in front of her face.
"If you cry again, this is a clear threat."
Zhou Lerui chickened out again, muttering to herself as she thought that when she got back to City A, she would find her older brother and beat him to death.
Except for Zhou Lerui, everyone had eaten breakfast, although they were not full at all, but there was nothing they could do about the conditions.
Sun Youmei strained for a long time before using her special ability to condense a water ball. Yao Yao quickly washed the pots and pans and had Peng Ze put them into his spatial storage.
Last night, fearing that zombies might enter the hall from the other side of the corridor, Peng Yu used the soil he collected in Peng Ze's space to build an earthen wall, blocking one entrance to the hall.
Lin Xuan looked at the wall, and just as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Zhou Xinran, who came over rubbing his hands.
"Old Xia, hehe, my dear brother Old Xia!" Zhou Xinran's peach blossom eyes were crinkled with laughter, and his long eyelashes fluttered, which greatly surprised Xia Feng.
"Just say what you want to say, don't play these games." He quickly grabbed Xiao Bao to protect him; this guy was acting strange, his brother was in danger.
Lin Xuan...
Can you stop hugging me all the time? It's really hot.
"Hehe, it's like this, Lao Xia..."
He forcibly pulled Xia Feng aside and whispered something in his ear. Xia Feng endured the nausea, pushed Zhou Xinran's increasingly close head away, and nodded.
Actually, it wasn't anything else. It's just that last night Zhou Xinran saw Xia Feng using his superpower to create a huge iron hammer that looked really cool, so he wanted Xia Feng to use his superpower to make some weapons for him as well.
The weapons they currently possess, apart from the Tang sword that Shen You'an always carried, were all picked up casually and were not particularly handy.
In the apocalypse, a handy weapon is essential for fighting zombies and mutated beasts; it can be a lifesaver in crucial moments.
Now that the ability to decompose and recombine has been exposed, Xia Feng readily offered to help.
The other end of the earthen wall was a corridor leading to the supermarket. Peng Yu used his superpower to push down the earthen wall and then had Peng Ze collect all the soil on the ground.
This soil will be very useful in battles within the city, as his earth-based ability cannot conjure soil out of thin air.
