As Bai Zhengxuan yawned and came down from the second floor of the bus, he happened to see two old men carrying plates and performing a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
"Are you all that hungry?"
Bai Zhengxuan was startled.
"I didn't eat dinner last night, of course I'm hungry. I need to have a good meal to make up for it!" Grandpa Wang said matter-of-factly.
He and Lao Liu have never skimped on their food, and they don't care about high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high blood sugar even in the apocalypse.
Anyway, I have no relatives left.
After the apocalypse, I don't care anymore. Anyway, I can eat whatever I want without getting high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high blood sugar. If I'm too full to stand it anymore, I'll just go out and fight some zombies.
I'll get hungry again in an hour.
There's absolutely no need to worry about your health.
"Didn't you eat yesterday?"
Bai Zhengxuan paused for a moment, then glanced at Leng Yebai.
Leng Yebai continued cooking expressionlessly, "It was probably eaten by rats."
"What?"
Grandpa Wang couldn't understand the conversation between the two people.
"It's nothing, Xiao Fan. Don't forget to defrost the braised pork hock in the fridge. We'll make sure it's good for your two uncles at noon!"
Bai Zhengxuan chuckled to himself, not exposing the base commander who could eat enough food for three people.
"Okay!"
Bai Yifan agreed and hurriedly continued cooking.
The two old men are incredibly strong; they and Brother Leng are almost too busy cooking together.
"Old Bai is truly generous!" Grandpa Wang gave Bai Zhengxuan a thumbs up and said with a hearty expression, "After we finish eating, Old Liu and I will go out for a walk to digest! We'll have braised pork knuckle for lunch!"
He felt a little embarrassed eating Lao Bai's food every day. When he and Lao Liu were wandering alone, the best meal they ever had was a chicken they caught and stewed.
Grandpa Wang was deeply moved that the Bai family didn't mind him eating and drinking at their house every day.
So he decided to go out with Lao Liu for a while and harvest a sack of crystal cores to use as meal tickets.
Anyway, the zombies are always chasing them, so it's not a big deal to casually collect some crystal cores.
In other words, Grandpa Wang is quite lazy, so lazy that he won't even dissect the crystal core of a zombie corpse.
If he really wanted the crystal cores, Grandpa Wang could simply stand still, and many zombies would automatically pounce on him, vying to have their crystal cores harvested.
Grandpa Liu ate his food with a smile, thinking the same thing as Grandpa Wang.
Even so, the two of them felt somewhat guilty, as if they had been freeloaded.
If other people in the post-apocalyptic world knew this, they would definitely rush to feed the two old men.
After all, crystal cores are the only accepted currency in the apocalypse, both domestically and internationally.
Breakfast was like a battle. The two old men, Wang and Liu, helped each other onto the bus and then helped each other off the bus.
The two old men, Wang and Liu, were really willful. They said they were going out to digest their food, and without wasting a minute, they drove their garbage truck out of the safe base.
He was just thinking about harvesting a sackful of crystal cores so he could come over for meals every day!
By this time, the Bai family had also finished breakfast, but none of them ate as much as the two old men had eaten!
After breakfast, everyone sat on the sofa to absorb the crystal cores, a must-do activity for the Bai family in their spare time.
Following his older sister's instructions, Bai Yifan absorbed the crystal core for a while, completed his homework for the day, and then put the crystal core back into his pocket.
He absorbed crystal cores every day, but his superpowers didn't increase much. The only change was that he felt he could take a lot more beatings.
Bai Yifan had been beaten so many times that he had long since categorized the level of pain from his father's beatings into different levels.
There are 1 to 10 levels in total.
When he failed a test, his dad would beat him to a level two.
When he played pranks on his dad, he would beat him up to a level three.
The pain of hitting my dad and almost causing him to lose a huge sum of money to the insurance company was probably around level ten.
The pain he feels now is significantly less than before.
Level 3 becomes Level 2, Level 2 becomes Level 1...
Could it be that his father had a change of heart and therefore went easy on him when he beat him?
Bai Yifan couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it and decided to just take the beating if he could!
...I always felt that he could take more and more beatings and do more and more pranks!
That's great!
Bai Yifan sighed slightly before getting off the bus.
The area where the bus was parked was very spacious, close to the edge of the security base wall, and the sounds from outside the wall could be faintly heard.
They are ordinary people who cannot afford to pay for crystal cores to enter the secure base.
The reason for paying for crystal cores to enter the safe base is not only for the various expenses of the safe base, but also to prevent people from losing their fighting spirit.
We should be stronger in adversity; even an ordinary person can take down an ordinary zombie with an axe.
If someone can't even produce the crystal core needed to enter the safe zone, then they're truly useless once they're inside!
They will completely lose their fighting ability and drift through life in a daze.
Bai Yifan climbed a tree to the side and glanced at the scene outside the safe base.
It was very lively, just like before the apocalypse.
Inside the safe base, not everyone, but the vast majority of people, are striving to improve themselves, unlike those outside who are aimless and confused.
Bai Yifan even saw several people lazily leaning against the trees and sleeping.
Since there were no zombies near the safe base, they didn't have to worry about being attacked by zombies.
But if zombies were to attack one day, they would be completely powerless to fight back and would become food for the zombies.
Bai Yifan looked at it for a while, then changed his gaze and continued looking in a different direction. As a result, he saw people abusing dogs in the vicinity of the safe base.
An adult male is holding a thick wooden stick and hitting a small dog hard.
The puppy howled, but it couldn't escape the attack of the stick.
Red blood seeped from the corner of its mouth, and its fur was stained with blood, strand by strand.
They look so pitiful.
Bai Yifan's favorite animal is a cat, and he doesn't particularly like dogs, but seeing the pitiful look of the puppy being beaten, he still felt it was better to step forward and stop it.
Bai Yifan nimbly scrambled down from the tree and quickly ran towards the direction where the puppy was howling.
"Stop! Let go of that dog!"
Bai Yifan said righteously.
"Who are you? What's it to you! It's just a dog, it shouldn't have been alive here a long time ago. It was the cause of all those zombie dogs yesterday! Kids, don't meddle in other people's business. In this world, meddling in other people's business can easily cost you your life!"
The man had brightly colored hair and a nonchalant attitude, but when he saw Bai Yifan, a greedy glint appeared in his eyes.
People at safe havens often have some psychological trauma associated with dogs, and many who keep dogs at safe havens have ended their lives themselves.
And this little dog, who knows where it came from, he planned to torture it before having a big meal.
