"Erpang, the meals for tomorrow are yours. Thank you for your hard work," Zhang Hao said with a smile.
"It's not hard work, it's what I should do."
Xu Mengyan nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.
Fortunately, she had studied at a culinary school in another city and later obtained a Level 1 Chef Certificate.
She had worked in the kitchen of a five-star hotel for several years, but her brother gave up the job so that they could be reunited and run a hair salon together in Linhai City.
Before the operation could be completed for long, the apocalypse broke out.
I thought I wouldn't need this skill anymore, but unexpectedly, the new boss took a liking to it.
Xu Mengyan was also very glad that she could cook. If the brother and sister were to be a hindrance in battle, cooking could at least make up for it.
The brother and sister exchanged a glance, then resumed eating their meat in silence.
However, besides the five of them, an ordinary-looking crow was also on the table.
That expression was human, yet it gave people a strange feeling.
Seeing Xu Mo and Xu Mengyan glancing at it from time to time, the raven couldn't help but say, "Hey! What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a raven eating hot pot before?"
Holy crap! Holy crap!
"A crow can talk?!"
The two siblings were so shocked that they dropped the mutton they were eating.
Raven said with a look of disdain, "You ignorant idiot, I can do more than just talk, I can also swear, I can sing, dance, and rap, chicken chicken chicken chicken, you're so beautiful, baby~~"
"Ya Ya, don't treat the new team member like that. Can you be a little more polite?"
Zhang Hao frowned and stopped him.
This guy is so sharp-tongued, most people couldn't stand it.
Hu Xiaonan and Raven were only somewhat familiar with each other, and their arguments were just for fun.
Xu Mo said nonchalantly, "Boss, it's alright. We won't argue with a talking pet. After all, we are awakened beings, and we'll be killing even more zombies in the future."
"Oh ho? You think you're so great just because you're an Awakened One? I'm still a Mutant Raven, and a Level 3 one at that. I may be a lazy bum... but I've killed way more zombies than the two of you."
Raven said arrogantly, "So what if you can cook? I, Raven, am the smartest. As long as I'm willing to learn... there's nothing I can't learn. Maybe I'll even play basketball someday. You need to recognize your place. You two are the lowest in status and ability on the whole team, hmph~"
"That's enough. It's just a coward like that. Don't pay any attention to it."
Zhang Hao flicked it on the head, making it howl in pain.
Xu Mo and Xu Mengyan were dealt another blow.
So they were the weakest members of the team?
Good heavens! They're not even as good as a crow?
“You don’t need to compare yourself to Ya Ya. Even among mutated creatures, its talent is second to none, and it’s almost on par with me.”
Zhang Hao offered a word of comfort.
This finally brought the two siblings a little more balance.
But they didn't want to talk about it anymore. Xu Mo thought for a moment and said, "But don't crows like to eat carrion? Is it really okay for them to eat it with hot pot?"
Before Zhang Hao could explain, Raven said with a look of disdain, "Crows never like to eat carrion. Although they are smart, they don't have the same hunting ability as eagles. Since they don't have the ability to hunt, are they just going to wait to starve to death? So they can only pick up some ready-made things, such as carrion, insects, or eggs of other birds."
"Crows are omnivorous, and our digestive system is much stronger than yours. We can even eat carrion. Why can't we eat hot pot? You humans are truly ignorant."
"Is that so? I've learned something."
Xu Mo nodded modestly.
If you don't understand, you don't understand, and there's nothing to refute.
The raven said with great arrogance, "Good attitude. From now on, you can call me the Learned Raven and be my personal maid. I'll teach you knowledge... Come and preen my feathers, little Xu~ Such an opportunity is rare indeed, why don't you come and pay your respects to me?"
"???"
Xu Mo was completely dumbfounded.
Is this still a crow?
You probably have a human soul living inside your body, right?
Zhang Hao flicked it on the forehead again: "Don't show off just because you've learned a little. You have to be humble, understand? Learned people never say they're learned, like me."
The raven obediently replied, "Okay, Daddy~"
"What about that 'Little Xu' you just mentioned? What kind of nonsense have you been watching?"
"I saw some TV series and movies saved on my phone. I think there's one called something like 'Empresses in the Palace,' which is quite addictive, especially that line... 'All the love and time I've spent these past few years have ultimately been wasted.'"
Zhang Hao said irritably, "Watch less of these kinds of shows in the future."
"No, I can't do it!"
"If you say another word, I'll confiscate your phone and you won't be allowed to watch anything anymore."
"All right."
The raven outwardly admitted defeat.
Actually, it planned to watch it secretly later.
What if Zhang Hao finds out later?
At worst, you can just kneel down and admit your mistake. What's the big deal?
After dinner, Zhang Hao sat on the largest sofa, with a map on the coffee table in the middle, and the others sat around it.
“Our Awakened Squad has been established, so our next big target will be a granary forty kilometers away. It will be much larger than the last one, probably more than twice the size.”
Zhang Hao glanced around and said, "Besides, Big Fatty and Second Fatty have only just joined the team and are not yet familiar with teamwork. Moreover, the combat power of Level 1 Awakeners is limited. So let's continue sweeping through Building 2 of Jin Yue Community and wait until they advance to Level 2 before taking action. What do you think?"
"No objection, whatever the boss says goes."
"Me too, I just follow the boss."
