Chapter 123: Comparison is the culprit (First update)
Fang Yuxin suspected that someone was saying bad things about her. After thinking about it, she suspected that Bai Qianqian had said bad things about her to Bai Ye. But that child has always been very sensible and should not do that. So who could it be?
Could it be that Chen Si? This man looked quite cunning, and I didn't know if he had seen anything.
And that weak man, whose last name seemed to be Shen or something, looked at her as if she were an experimental subject, and he was not a good person either.
And that hot woman was also full of hostility towards her, and might even be saying bad things about her behind her back!
Fang Yuxin thought about it and felt that there were quite a lot of suspicious people. But she just thought about it casually and didn't care too much. There must be a lot of people in this world who hate her. To care about what others say behind her back is just asking for trouble!
If anyone dared to plot against her, she would just take it on. There was really nothing to worry about.
Rubbing his itchy nose again, Fang Yuxin stopped thinking about it and focused all his attention on digging for the Yuan Stone.
Now that the military has learned about the Yuan Stone, they will definitely send people to secretly search for it and dig it up. She must take the opportunity to dig up more.
While searching for the Yuanshi, she also found some supplies that were still usable. When digging for the Yuanshi, if she came across something useful, she would collect it, but she didn't specifically pick up the rest that were buried under the ruins.
Anyway, they already have a lot of supplies, so there is no need to make things too extreme and leave other survivors with nothing.
They gathered here to look for supplies, and occasionally zombies would follow the smell. Most of them were primary zombies, and occasionally one or two level one zombies would appear, but they were all ordinary zombies, and the mutant zombies did not appear again.
Level 1 zombies are more difficult to deal with than primary zombies. Although they have not mutated, their flexibility, speed, intelligence, defense and strength have all improved after they have been upgraded, making it more difficult for ordinary psychics to deal with them. However, these level 1 ordinary zombies are no match for Fang Yuxin.
The blade imbued with wood-type spiritual energy could easily break through their defenses, and Fang Yuxin dealt with the zombies without much effort.
Time passed very quickly when they were busy like this, and it was noon in a blink of an eye. They had a good harvest, and everyone had a smile on their face, and they seemed to be very satisfied with their harvest. Although it was not very convenient to go out, Fang Yuxin was in a good mood, so he took people to a nearby house as a place to stay, took out a simple gas stove and started to cook the broth.
Her seasonings and ingredients are very complete. The soup not only contains fresh meat slices, but also some fresh vegetables and mountain delicacies. As more ingredients are added, the fresh and fragrant taste of the soup becomes stronger and stronger. In this apocalypse where many survivors can only eat instant noodles and biscuits, it is enough to make people drool.
In order to avoid suspicion, Bai Ye and his companions originally chose to stay in a house not too far away. Their conditions were already very good compared to many other survivors. They had a lot of food, including instant noodles, biscuits, vacuum-packed cooked food, canned meat, bread, etc. They even brought a simple gas stove and pot to cook. But compared with Fang Yuxin and his companions, such conditions could not be more miserable.
Bai Ye's subordinates are actually quite familiar with Bai Qianqian, especially Meng Qingluo, who is interested in Bai Ye and often tries her best to please Bai Qianqian. This time, Bai Qianqian is with Bai Ye, and there is no Fang Yuxin to get in her way, so she plans to take the opportunity to please Bai Qianqian and ask him to follow them in the future and not go back to Fang Yuxin.
She also knew that Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin had nothing to do with each other, and they didn't even know each other before. But if Bai Qianqian stayed with Fang Yuxin all the time, Bai Ye would definitely look at Fang Yuxin differently, and they might even develop feelings for each other over time.
She was still very confident in her craftsmanship. She had witnessed the miserable conditions of many survivors and knew that their conditions were pretty good. She thought that Fang Yuxin and the others must not be in such good conditions either, and Bai Qianqian must have suffered a lot following Fang Yuxin.
If she can show her skills well this time, Bai Qianqian is young and cannot endure hardship, she will definitely be able to win his heart.
She was so focused on pleasing Bai Qianqian that she forgot that the Fang family had secretly purchased a lot of supplies. Fang Yuxin was also a wood-type mutant, so it was extremely easy for her to get fresh vegetables and fruits!
She cooked instant noodles with canned meat, and the taste was not bad, but just as the aroma came out, an unusually fresh and fragrant smell wafted in from outside. After the end of the world, conditions became difficult, and it became very difficult to get fresh vegetables, unless you go to the vegetable garden to look for them, maybe you can find some that have not been damaged.
After the end of the world, Chen Si was seriously injured and fell into a coma. How could they have the chance to find food at those large planting bases with Chen Si?
No one could resist the sudden smell of this long-lost delicious aroma. Not to mention other people, even Meng Qingluo herself suddenly felt disgusted with the instant noodles in the pot.
Bai Qianqian wrinkled his nose, looked at the pot not far away with disdain, and winked at Bai Ye: "Dad, I miss my mom."
Bai Ye hesitated for a second, then stood up holding Bai Qianqian, and said to his teammates very naturally: "Qianqian misses his mother. I'll take him over. You guys eat first."
Several people looked at each other, and looked at Bai Ye with eyes full of condemnation - Boss! You are not righteous! How can you abandon your brothers to eat for free!
Bai Ye didn't feel guilty at all, he looked back with confidence - you are overthinking, I just went to see Qianqian off.
Several people silently looked away - Tsk! Who would believe this!
Meng Qingluo, who was turning off the stove, was completely in a bad mood when she saw Bai Ye and Bai Qianqian leave. She was a good cook and had been in charge of the team's meals for a while. Every time they ate, everyone would compliment her, which was both praise and gratitude.
Unfortunately, everyone is afraid of comparison. After smelling the delicious aroma and eating the instant noodles made from canned meat, everyone lost their appetite. Several people looked at each other and saw that Meng Qingluo was in a low mood. The always kind Xu Wu said, "Although Qingluo's cooking skills are good, don't fight over it. Come one by one!"
When he said this, others joined in the fun, making the atmosphere lively.
Meng Qingluo forced a smile, but her mind had already run away with Bai Ye. The fresh and fragrant smell was pervasive, and she suddenly remembered that the Fang family had secretly purchased a lot of supplies before the end of the world, and Fang Yuxin was a wood-type supernatural being, so it must be easy for him to get some fresh vegetables. She didn't know how good Bai Qianqian's food was these days, and she was completely worrying in vain.
…
Bai Ye and Bai Qianqian followed the aroma to the temporary place where Fang Yuxin and the others were staying. The closer they got, the stronger the fresh and fragrant smell became. There was a folding table in the room, and the dishes on the table were quite rich. In addition to the pot of broth, there were also white-cut chicken, braised duck, beef jerky, and red oil tripe slices packed in a fresh-keeping box, all in large portions.
These are all cold dishes that Fang Yuxin prepared early in the morning, so it is not easy to arouse suspicion when they are taken out. The rice was also prepared early in the morning, and it can be eaten after soaking in hot soup. The rice grains absorb the freshness of the soup and become softer, more sticky and fragrant.
Bai Qianqian was a child after all, he had been hungry for a long time, and his eyes lit up when he saw the rich food. Fang Yuxin was also happy to see him back, and quickly asked him to sit down and eat. There were folding stools next to the table, which could be said to be quite well prepared.
Fang Yuxin glanced at Bai Ye and said, "Mr. Bai, if you don't mind, please have dinner with us."
Bai Ye sat down next to Bai Qianqian without even bothering to be polite, and said straightforwardly, "Sorry to bother you then."
Fang Yuyang gritted his teeth. He always disliked Bai Ye, but after all, he was a guest, so he couldn't just give him a cold shoulder. That would make the Fang family look uneducated. He pulled his face and forced a smile, said a few simple words, and then ignored Bai Ye.
Bai Ye didn't care. He took the bowl and chopsticks handed to him by Bai Qianqian and started eating quickly.
Because there could be zombies or survivors outside at any time, they were very fast and finished lunch in less than ten minutes. During this time, Fang Yuxin and Bai Qianqian kept on alert with their spiritual senses. They didn't know if it was because of Liu Meng, but the survivors who had left before never came back, and instead attracted a lot of zombies.
Because the zombies were still some distance away, the two ignored them, and when the zombies approached, they had already finished their lunch. Everyone had a big appetite, and all the food was eaten up, not even the soup was left.
The harsh conditions of the end of the world forced people to grow up, and things that were once insignificant now seemed extremely precious. In the face of hunger and death, no one would be pretentious.
Bai Ye heard the zombies roaring and offered to clean them up as a thank you. Unfortunately, no one appreciated his offer. As soon as he proposed, Fang Yuyang said, "I'll go with you."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Qiao and the others stood up and said in unison: "Let's go too!"
As long as they don't encounter mutated zombies, those ordinary zombies are simply here to give them crystal cores. No one is willing to give up the crystal cores for nothing, which would be a bargain for Bai Ye.
Bai Ye paused, thinking of the survivors who regarded zombies as a flood and beasts, and suddenly found these people quite interesting. He raised his eyebrows at Fang Yuyang, with a hint of provocation in his eyes: "Why don't we have a competition?"
After hearing this, Fang Yuyang felt a strong desire to fight: "Okay! I'll compete with you!"
As soon as the words fell, the two of them walked out almost at the same time. Chen Qiao and others looked at each other and followed closely behind, wondering in their hearts, with these two evil spirits, will they be able to get some benefits later?
Fang Yuxin did not go out with them. She quickly packed up her things and put them into the space. Just as she was about to call others to go out together, she found that there were survivors entering the ruins.
Judging from the situation, these people seem to be coming for them!
Yesterday was Valentine's Day, but the stupid author was so busy writing that he forgot to wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day. Although it's a little late, I still want to congratulate everyone and hope everyone can be happy. By the way, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it seems that everyone is busy. The comment section is so deserted.
