Chapter 103 The Perseverant Yan Shen
Lu Nian, who was close by, was so frightened that his fox ears suddenly popped out. He quickly reached out to cover them and tried to retract them for fear of being discovered.
At the same time, a coat fell on his head and Mu Ke's cold voice sounded.
"It's covered."
Lu Nian quietly looked up at him and whispered thank you.
After saying that, Lu Nian turned his gaze to Xu Zhiyang who was making a fuss with Li Huiyin, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Mu Ke's eyelids twitched, and he had a bad feeling.
He changed the subject without leaving a trace: "Since it is Huiyin's birthday, it just so happens that we exchanged snacks for some vegetables and rice, and celebrated for Huiyin in the evening."
Qin Shiyu seriously pulled Mu Ke's clothes and looked up and asked, "Can I order some food, Brother Mu?"
Mu Ke: "...Speak."
Entering the small courtyard, Mu Ke carried the pots and pans and started to work.
Any food or weapons that are not available here can be exchanged for some daily necessities.
"Most of the people here have lived here since childhood. They are simple and honest and easy to talk to."
Mu Ke looked at the series of seasonings including salt and chicken essence in front of him and actually felt a little happy.
Qin Shiyu laughed: "Brother Mu loved cooking before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, many seasonings are no longer available, but he can still cook so deliciously. He is amazing."
"I didn't expect that Brother Mu has the heart of a chef beneath his cool exterior." Xu Zhiyang joked with a smile, helping to cut the mutant animal meat and placing it on a plate for Mu Ke to use.
Qin Shiyu looked at Xu Zhiyang's skillful knife skills and asked curiously, "Brother Xu, don't you know how to cook? How come you're so skilled at cutting meat?"
"...Uh..." Xu Zhiyang scratched the tip of his nose awkwardly. "When I was rebellious, no one at home cared about me, so I once picked up a knife and started a fight with someone."
Even Li Huiyin didn't know about this, and it was one of Xu Zhiyang's dark history.
All the friends present were shocked and looked at Xu Zhiyang.
Qin Shiyu was shocked. "How many times did he have to fight with others to develop his current knife skills?!"
Xu Zhiyang was extremely embarrassed. "...Stop talking. It's embarrassing."
Zhu Ci was also a little surprised, but when he thought about his revengeful nature, he was not surprised.
Although the ingredients were limited and the only vegetables he bought were two large drumsticks from mutant chickens and some potatoes and peppers, Mu Ke still did his best to make a few dishes.
As night fell, it started to rain. Candles were lit in the room and the children sat around the table. It seemed quite cozy.
Keeping the wind and rain out, Momo was tearing at another chicken leg under the carport in the corner.
Xu Zhiyang filled a big bowl of rice for the birthday girl, Li Huiyin, and piled it up into a small hill.
"Do you want us to all stand up and sing you a happy birthday?"
“No, no, no!”
Li Huiyin suppressed her drooling and said, "Just a meal is fine. If you all stand up together, I'll think you're going to send me away."
The candle flames in the room were blown out and flickered. A group of people stood there looking at her. It was really a bit scary...
Xu Zhiyang burst out laughing: "Alright, let's eat. If you get impatient again, you'll dive into the plate."
Everyone started to pick up their chopsticks. Li Huiyin shoveled a few mouthfuls of rice, her eyes filled with tears of satisfaction.
"Rice, rice, I must have been a rat spirit in my previous life, otherwise why would I love rice so much."
Everyone laughed, and this dinner was undoubtedly the most sumptuous one.
However, Xu Zhiyang still whispered: "Happy birthday. This may be the worst birthday ever, but I hope we can still celebrate your birthday with you in the future."
Li Huiyin swallowed her food and said, "Of course I will!"
With Xu Zhiyang starting the conversation, everyone said happy birthday one after another.
Even Fu Qingbai, who had spoken to her for less than ten sentences, only lazily echoed her.
Li Huiyin quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes when no one was looking. She was so moved that she used her chopsticks as fast as lightning to grab the last piece of chicken.
"The most satisfying meal." Li Huiyin sighed.
Xu Zhiyang couldn't help laughing and was about to speak when suddenly a sharp alarm sounded outside.
Everyone immediately stood up and walked out the door. As the night fell, the rain got heavier and visibility was very low.
"It should be the gate." Lu Nian's fox ears popped out and he listened carefully to the sound.
Zhu Ci said, "You guys wait here, I'll go to a crowded place to find out what's going on."
Xu Zhiyang had a bad feeling and quickly reached out to pull the person who had already stepped out of the door, "I'll go with you."
"Um."
Qin Shiyu suddenly thought of something and suggested, "Let's go together. I'll have someone to look after me."
So everyone jumped onto Momo, and Xu Zhiyang used the wind to form a circular cyclone above their heads, blowing the rain away to minimize their exposure to the rain.
As they approached the base gate, Xu Zhiyang's expression changed.
The stench of zombies wafted in the wind, and their howling could be heard just through the door.
Xu Zhiyang had a bad feeling in her heart, "I'm afraid Yan Shen is chasing us."
Li Huiyin: "This buddy is really persistent."
"But I don't know if A-Yang can come out. If we face him head-on, we won't be his match."
Yan Shen came for him. Xu Zhiyang felt very guilty and felt like he had been causing trouble for everyone.
Zhu Ci held his hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "I'll go check on the wall. If it's really Yan Shen chasing us, we'll leave immediately!"
After saying that, Zhu Ci was about to ask Xu Zhiyang to give him wings, but suddenly he saw the young man suddenly look up.
At the same time, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and all the friends looked up.
I saw a person standing on the high wall!
——It’s Yan Shen.
"Can't let him in!"
The green wings behind Xu Zhiyang spread out rapidly, and he used wood energy and gold energy to make wings for Zhu Ci and Li Huiyin respectively.
"We can't let him bite anyone in the base!"
Qin Shiyu said quickly: "Brother Mu and the three of them go to deal with Yan Shen together, we will stay here to help the people at the base!"
As soon as Qin Shiyu finished speaking, Xu Zhiyang flew up, with lightning crackling in his palms, and landed directly in front of Yan Shen.
Yan Shen stared at him intently, emphasizing each word: "I found you."
"What do you want?"
Xu Zhiyang stared at the man coldly, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a huge swarm of zombies outside the base approaching like a swarm of locusts, and he felt terrified.
Yan Shen seemed not to notice that there were three people behind the young man in front of him, "Eat... you."
"Then you try it!"
As Xu Zhiyang spoke, he spread his wings and flew down the wall, using fire energy to ignite a blazing line of defense outside the base.
As expected, Yan Shen followed Xu Zhiyang down and had no intention of going in to bite anyone. Seeing him burn so many zombies to death, Yan Shen was a little unhappy.
"I'll eat you... they'll be fine."
"If we don't eat, the zombies will break through the gate."
Yan Shen's speech was obviously much more fluent than before.
"They all have to die!"
Xu Zhiyang's pupils suddenly shrank as she saw that the zombies had surrounded her again.
