Lu Shiyan's sharp eyes swept over and he spread his palm. An irregular crystal the size of a pigeon egg lay quietly in his palm. "What are you talking about?"
Su Wan held her breath and nodded vigorously.
"This can enhance your superpowers." He said in a flat tone, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.
It turns out that the male protagonist has already discovered it! He is indeed the male protagonist! This golden finger is clearly activated! As expected, following the male protagonist will bring you meat to eat, no, there are crystal cores to pick up! Su Wan thought. But I don’t know if she will awaken her superpowers. Others have superpowers. Can God give me one?
As night fell, the group finally arrived at the abandoned research institute before dark.
This is a low-rise building complex half-hidden by vegetation. The white walls are now mottled, but the neatness of the past can still be seen. At the entrance of the main building, a rusted metal plate barely recognizes the words "N51". Lu Shiyan stood in front of the main building and looked up at the blurred sign.
"Where is this place?" Su Wan couldn't help but ask. She always felt that Lu Shiyan was too familiar with this place.
Lu Shiyan didn't answer, but just glanced at Xiao Han. "Check the surroundings and make sure it's safe."
Humph. Ignore her again. Fine. Doesn't the pendant have the right to speak? Su Wan rolled her eyes in her heart.
Xiao Han took the order and dispersed with a few of his men, and his figure quickly disappeared into the shadow of the building.
"Auntie Zhang, take the young lady in to rest." Lu Shiyan's order was still cold.
Aunt Zhang immediately stepped forward and gently supported Su Wan.
Su Wan was unwilling to accept it, but she was tactful and did not ask any more questions. She followed Zhang Ma into the main building. The interior was unexpectedly clean and tidy, without the dust and cobwebs she had imagined. An office at the end of the corridor was temporarily converted into a lounge, and there was even a simple bed and a few chairs inside.
"Here..." Su Wan looked around, a little confused, "Why is it so clean?"
Aunt Zhang sighed. "Mr. has been leaving early and coming back late these days. He should be preparing here."
So Lu Shiyan was not only exploring the way these days, but also preparing this temporary place for her to stay. No, Su Wan immediately corrected herself, this was prepared for the ancestor in her belly.
However, the one who enjoyed all this was Su Wan herself. What was wrong with being a pendant? Being a pendant with a ball, if you could get this kind of treatment, what else would you want?
Su Wan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. How cool!
The institute was well prepared, with complete kitchen utensils and even a working water source. Zhang Ma quickly got busy in the makeshift kitchen, and the sound of hot oil sizzling could be heard from the pot.
Su Wan rolled up her sleeves and moved over. "Auntie Zhang, let me help you." She took the vegetables and started washing them.
Now that conditions permit, I have to cook more food and store it. Although her space can keep food fresh, the feeling of hot food being the same as freshly cooked is completely different. Especially in this doomsday world where one is always in danger, the sense of security brought by a hot meal is priceless.
Aunt Zhang glanced at her but didn't stop her. She just told her to be careful.
Su Wan's hands moved swiftly, and her mind was calculating. She was cutting vegetables while looking around the kitchen.
Although the equipment here is old, it is very professional. There are some blurred diagrams and texts on the wall, which seem to be some kind of experimental records. What exactly is the N51 Institute researching?
When you have a personal chef, you can also stock up on the hard currency of the end times - cooked food. This is a good deal, a big profit.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and life is so peaceful that it doesn't seem like the end of the world.
Su Wan occasionally leaned against the kitchen window and looked at the gray sky outside. She could see the high wall surrounding the institute.
Back then, in her own villa, she was so foolish and bold that she actually thought it was the safest fortress.
The result? He ran away, rolling and crawling.
In the past half month at the institute, the fire in the kitchen has hardly been extinguished. Zhang Ma, Afu, Agui, and Su Wan herself, who is helping out, are almost welded together in the kitchen. The finished dishes are continuously stored in Su Wan's space.
She even doubted that if things continued like this, they would be able to survive the entire apocalypse relying on the stockpiled cooked food.
In comparison, Lu Shiyan and his men were much more mysterious. They left early and returned late every day, in a hurry.
What are they busy with? Su Wan scratched his head and couldn't figure it out.
She only knew that every time they came back, they were covered in the smell of gunpowder or blood. Once, she saw Ah Mo's arm was wrapped in thick bandages and his face was pale.
When Xiao Han entered the room, he whispered to Lu Shiyan, "Young Master Lu, that thing was more cunning than the last time we encountered it. It almost let the prey escape."
Lu Shiyan just responded in a deep voice without any expression on his face, but Su Wan noticed that the cuff of his combat uniform was torn, revealing the shirt underneath with dark bloodstains on it.
"Clean up." Lu Shiyan once said this.
What were they clearing out? Zombies? Supplies? Or… other survivors? From what Xiao Han said, they seemed to be “hunting” for something.
That thing is "more cunning" than the last one? Su Wan's heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that kind of mutant hunter? And there are more than one?
Why would they risk everything and their lives to hunt these terrifying monsters?
Su Wan's eyes subconsciously swept over the hideous tear on the cuff of Lu Shiyan's combat uniform. The dark bloodstain had long since dried and solidified there, but it was still glaring.
There was also the dark red color that was faintly visible under the thick bandage on A'mo's arm.
Hunting for crystal cores?
To make myself stronger?!
Lu Shiyan is risking his life in exchange for a rapid improvement in his own and his team's overall strength.
If he didn't say anything, Su Wan didn't bother to ask anymore. Anyway, if the sky fell, there was a tall man to hold it up, and she was just a pendant with a "ball" to survive.
The primary task of the hanger is to eat and drink well, and to supervise the progress of kitchen production.
She is busy in the kitchen every day, and her mouth is almost always busy, either tasting the saltiness or picking up a piece of fried meat that has just come out of the pan.
She would drink two large bowls of Zhang Ma's beef soup, and when Lu Shiyan and the others came back exhausted for dinner, she would finish two more large bowls of rice.
Aunt Zhang was so amused by what she saw that she said she ate the amount for three people by herself.
Su Wan herself found it strange. Logically speaking, with such an eating habit and lack of exercise, she should have become fat as a ball a long time ago.
But after more than half a month, not only did she not gain weight, but she even felt that the waist of her pants had become looser.
She secretly took a few photos of herself in the kitchen, facing the metal cabinet door that reflected her figure. Her cheeks seemed to be thinner, and the jawline was clearer.
What puzzled her most was her stomach. It was still very flat, not to mention showing her pregnancy, she couldn't even feel any extra fat.
Is this child...still staying in there?
