Chapter 17: Level 1 Canteen
Xu Siming pursed his lips and said, "The day before yesterday afternoon, there was a zombie on the bus we were riding. After the riot, my father tried to save those students..."
Halfway through his words, Xu Siming choked up and lowered his head silently.
“Bah…”
Crystal clear tears fell on the quilt, leaving a coin-sized water stain.
Ji Wanwan's heart ached and she sighed silently.
Xu Siming calmed down a bit and continued, "My father was thinking about those students until his death. He even asked me to spare no effort to escort them to a safe place, but they..."
He gritted his teeth and suddenly tightened his grip on the quilt: "They actually stabbed me in the back, trying to push me out to fend off the zombies so they could give them a chance to escape. I refused, so they stabbed me and nearly killed me!
If I hadn't been patient and brought them here, I would probably be a corpse now!
These scumbags! They are not worthy of my father risking his life to protect them!"
Seeing that blood was oozing out of Xu Siming's wound again, Ji Wanwan raised her hand and held Xu Siming's tightly clenched hand: "You are still injured, don't be angry!
Tell me, the one who hurt you...was it Zhang Tao and Zhu Qian?"
The slightly cool little hand rested on the back of his hand, and Xu Siming's eyelashes trembled: "Are you familiar with them?"
Ji Wanwan nodded: "We are all from the same college. Zhang Tao is a school bully, and Zhu Qian has done a lot of evil. They are no strangers to me.
But don't worry, I hate them as much as you do, I even detest them. I came to you because I want to cooperate with you. Let's join forces and avenge Teacher Xu!"
In the previous life, Zhang Tao and Zhu Qian pushed many people out to die with them in order to survive. Xia Li was killed by them in order to protect her.
She has always remembered this grudge!
Xia Li could still vividly remember how she was torn apart by countless zombies. In this life, she wanted Zhang Tao and Zhu Qian to experience the feeling of having their flesh and blood torn apart alive as well!
The hatred in Ji Wanwan's eyes surprised Xu Siming. He stared at Ji Wanwan inquiringly: "Why do you hate them?"
Ji Wanwan had tears in her eyes: "They killed my best friend..."
The tears reminded Xu Siming of his father. His heart ached and he extended his hand: "Okay, let's work together."
Ji Wanwan smiled brightly and extended her hand.
The moment their hands were held together, Ji Wanwan heard the system's prompt tone in her ears.
[Current task progress 4992/5000]
[Mission countdown: 09 minutes 59 seconds]
Ji Wanwan’s whole body stiffened.
I was busy eating melons and rescuing people the whole morning, and I even forgot about the mission.
Xu Siming noticed her expression suddenly becoming serious, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything I can do?"
Ji Wanwan looked at Xu Siming with burning eyes: "I really need your help with something!"
This look piqued Xu Siming's interest: "What's the matter?"
Ji Wanwan: "Buy me a meal! Right now!"
Xu Siming: “?”
…
Five minutes later.
Xu Siming, with a pale face, stood in front of the fast food vending machine and bought a bowl of duck leg rice.
[Beep——]
The moment I checked out, everything in front of me stopped.
[Current task progress 5010/5000]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and obtaining a level 1 cafeteria]
[Level 1 canteen has been issued. The canteen is open from 7 am to 8 pm. The canteen has 6 kinds of breakfast and 15 kinds of lunch and dinner. The host can go there to select the items for sale.]
[Reward two physical functions +10 points, please choose: Stamina, Endurance, Strength, Agility, Spirit, Charm]
When using the space barrier to deal with Cheng Ya these two days, Ji Wanwan clearly felt that her mental strength was being rapidly consumed.
As her mental strength declined, her control over space also became weaker.
So this time, she chose mental and physical strength.
At the moment of selection, Ji Wanwan's strongest feeling was that her head was opened up in an instant, and the drowsy feeling that enveloped her was much lighter.
Beneath this feeling of sudden enlightenment, there was that familiar warm current.
Every time after improving her body functions, Ji Wanwan felt surprised and enjoyed the changes in her body.
Ji Wanwan followed the system's instructions and came to the cafeteria.
The cafeteria is not big, with only 5 sets of four-seater tables and chairs. The food outlets are arranged in a buffet style, and guests can choose food according to their preferences.
There is also a robotic arm in each food delivery port. As long as the customer makes his selection and completes the payment, the robotic arm will take out the food.
There is also a tableware collection cabinet and a tableware recycling cabinet next to the food outlet.
The overall style of the cafeteria is simple, refreshing and clean.
There is a standing menu at the entrance of the cafeteria, but there is nothing on it at the moment, so Ji Wanwan needs to choose the food first.
Since you can choose the food for sale yourself, you must choose what you like!
Ji Wanwan chose black rice porridge, fried dough sticks, pancakes, wontons, rice noodle rolls, and beef noodles for breakfast.
For lunch, I chose my favorite sweet and sour spare ribs, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and sweet and sour carp, and then chose foods that are usually highly clicked by the public.
The menu settings were completed and Ji Wanwan returned to the lobby.
[Beep——]
Things are back in action.
Xu Siming was in a trance for a moment.
Coming back to his senses, he took out the duck leg rice and handed it to Ji Wanwan with a complicated tone.
The latter's eyes turned: "Hey, this machine is working now. It didn't work when I clicked it just now. How strange."
She laughed out loud and took the food. "Thank you, Senior Xu. Well, as a thank you, I'll treat you to a small hot pot."
Xu Siming: “?”
I always feel that Ji Wanwan is weird.
But this place also has hot pot?
He pursed his lips, wanting to eat a little: "That's fine."
When she arrived at the cafeteria, Ji Wanwan saw that there was no one else there, so she took out a small hot pot from the system space.
Xu Siming's pupils trembled: "How did you do it?"
Since you want to win people's hearts, you naturally cannot hide anything and must be honest with them!
Ji Wanwan smiled brightly: "I have the ability of space, and the hot pot was taken out from space."
Thinking of the way Ji Wanwan dealt with Cheng Ya that day, Xu Siming figured it out in an instant.
He looked at Ji Wanwan with unconcealable envy.
That night, 12 o'clock in the evening.
001 came to the lobby and began its expulsion mission.
Cheng Ya's heart-wrenching screams woke up most of the people staying in the shelter.
With everyone watching, 001 ruthlessly drove Cheng Ya out of the shelter.
Looking at Cheng Ya shivering at the door of the shelter, Ji Xing's eyes were dim.
Perhaps his sister was right, true love is hard to see in times of peace and prosperity, and true nature is revealed in times of chaos and war, but he always believed -
Even if there is chaos and the world is turned upside down, love will still overcome all difficulties and shine brightly in the darkness, just like his sister does to him.
After Cheng Ya’s incident, the shelter was unusually peaceful for a few days.
The shelter has the function of automatically identifying zombies. Even if infected people have not mutated yet, they cannot get close to the safe range of the shelter, which saves Ji Wanwan a lot of worries.
As for hygiene and cleaning, there is an omnipotent 001 to take care of it for her, so Ji Wanwan doesn't have to worry about it. She only needs to lie down, collect money, chat, eat, and practice her supernatural powers every day.
After a few days, Ji Wanwan had gained weight visibly.
At the same time, through her attempts, her spatial ability was upgraded to level 2 because she gained 10 combat points.
Level 2 space manipulation allows you to manipulate the space within a 50-meter radius. The upgrade also comes with an increase of 30 points in mental power.
Early that morning, Ji Wanwan went downstairs to the cafeteria for lunch and saw a few familiar figures knocking on the door of the shelter...
