Chapter 134 'Zhizhi' - I'm a vegetarian
Everyone busied themselves with the cooking, with Wen Qing and Luo Xingyou in charge of the wok. As the spatulas flew, the aroma quickly filled the air.
The braised pork trotters are stewed until tender and flavorful, while the rabbit meat is coated in sauce and glistening with oil.
Lu Nange also found some dried shiitake mushrooms, and Luo Xingyou casually made a dish of braised chicken with shiitake mushrooms and potatoes. The rich aroma of meat mixed with the umami flavor of mushrooms made people's mouths water.
He Zhuo and Chi Yi even asked Lu Nange for seeds on the spot, used their superpowers to grow a few tender cucumbers, and then made a refreshing cold dish, which was crisp and crunchy, just right to cut through the greasiness.
After the meal, everyone found a place to sit down and began to absorb the crystal cores to enhance their superpowers.
Lu Nange, Chi Yanzhou, and Lu Beiye were in charge of guarding the area.
Lu Nange squatted down and fed Gangzi a level-two crystal core that it had earned itself.
Gangzi was so happy that he flapped his wings and chewed the crystal core with gusto, making satisfying crunching sounds in his throat.
Seeing this, she tentatively offered one to Zhizhi.
As a result, the little tree-man tilted its head to the side, the vines pushed the crystal core away in disgust, and kept chirping.
[Master, my vines eat too much meat and have no dietary restrictions, so I'll eat vegetarian food.]
Lu Nange inexplicably understood its meaning again and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Okay."
I added some fruit to Zhizhi's pot: "Then you should eat more fruit."
Her wavy hair bobbed happily...
Lu Beiye leaned closer curiously: "Sister, what did Zhizhi say?"
Lu Nange ruffled his hair and laughed, "It says it's a vegetarian."
......
The hour hand on my watch had just passed nine o'clock at night.
Lu Nange's released mental energy detected rustling sounds coming from the villa area across the street—the survivors were beginning their nighttime activities.
She had just stood up when Chi Yanzhou put down his book and stood up as well: "What's wrong?"
Lu Nange: "The survivors on the other side have started to move."
She tapped lightly on the windowsill with her fingertips: "Zhizhi."
The branches and vines in Lu Beiye's arms immediately responded with a rustling sound.
In the darkness where the moonlight cannot reach, countless plants are quietly growing, and in the blink of an eye, they have enveloped their villa into an impenetrable green fortress.
From a distance, all you can see are layers upon layers of leaves rustling in the night breeze, as if the entire building has blended into the jungle.
Across from the villa area, dozens of dark figures emerged from different houses.
"Old Yu, are you really not going to check things out?" a hunched figure asked in a low voice, the steel pipe in his hand gleaming coldly in the moonlight.
Old Yu didn't turn around, but waved his arms from side to side: "That mutated bird is a level three mutated beast. In all this time since the apocalypse, have we ever seen anyone tame that thing..."
The person asking the question immediately fell silent.
Old Yu tossed the binoculars to his companion: "They deliberately chose the most remote villa; it's obvious they don't want to deal with us."
He spat: "Anyone with a bit of manners knows that in this world, it's all about 'don't mess with me,' meaning keeping to ourselves."
"But the buildings in front don't seem to be moving..."
"You count them," said Lao Yu.
The man with the binoculars suddenly froze: "1, 2, 3... Damn it, one building is missing?"
"Look at those plants at the very back." Old Yu's eyes gleamed in the darkness: "Those plants that can wrap the whole building up like a dumpling must be at least level three wood-type, and maybe..." He gestured upwards.
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd.
"Then... shall we just pretend we didn't see anything?" someone suggested in a low voice.
"That's exactly right." Old Yu pulled out a half-pack of crumpled cigarettes: "If they really wanted to take action, they would have done it this morning."
From the shadows, a young man asked resentfully, "What if they intercept our supplies..."
Old Yu lit a cigarette, the flame reflecting on his face: "If you really wanted to rob me, would you still be standing here spouting nonsense?"
He exhaled a smoke ring and looked towards that area: "A powerhouse of that level... probably wouldn't even look at our small group..."
