Chapter 208 Stealing the Spotlight
Liu Yu rested her chopsticks against her chin and raised an eyebrow in amusement, not expecting such an interesting hidden secret. Then she realized Zhuang Moxing was about to add more food to her bowl, and hurriedly stopped him in panic.
"No, no, no, I've had enough. If I eat any more, I'll die of stuffiness."
If she eats any more, she might become the first weirdo to die from overeating after the apocalypse...
"Eat some vegetables. Meat alone is not enough. That's all. I won't add any more. Be obedient."
Liu Yu frowned and picked up a piece of baby cabbage. Facing Zhuang Moxing's irresistible gaze, she had no choice but to stuff it into her mouth.
As she chewed the food mouthful by mouthful, she suddenly felt that Zhuang Moxing seemed a little different from before. What was strange?
But before she could think about it, a hesitant questioning voice suddenly sounded not far away.
"Hello, does your team have any surplus salt you could trade with us? This is truly rude, but I'm at my wit's end. My wife desperately needs salt! I have plenty of rice on board. Name me a price, and I'll take it as long as I can."
Liu Yu looked up and found that the people on the opposite side had redivided the tasks. Most of the survivors were preparing to cook, while Sun Qian brought his wife to them to exchange salt.
As soon as he finished speaking, the team members around Liu Yu who had just finished their dinner immediately became alert, and looked at Sun Qian as if they were not going to mess with him.
Sun Qian supported Yan Qing and straightened his back, allowing everyone to look at him. He knew that salt was very important in the apocalypse, and it could be said to be one of the hard currencies in the apocalypse.
But he was really desperate at this time.
It was only when his wife looked at these people's rich meals with envy that he realized that they could prepare such a sumptuous meal, which must have involved salt.
Just as Liu Yu was about to respond, Sun Kun suddenly came forward with Ma Xinling. Standing next to his eldest brother, Sun Qian, they interrupted, saying, "We're trading rice for salt. Just tell us how much you want!"
His arrogant demeanor made it seem as if Liu Yu and his group were really interested in his rice.
But Sun Kun, who had an arrogant look on his face, was stunned the moment he saw Liu Yu's appearance. How could this woman be so beautiful?
It seemed that the moment he saw Liu Yu's appearance clearly, all the other women on the Wumu Mountain plain lost their color.
Especially when Liu Yu looked at him with cold contempt, he suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his back, his Adam's apple rolled unbearably, and his eyes were wide open.
Zhuang Moxing, who was used to wearing a mask, glanced at Sun Kun with extremely cold eyes. His figure flashed and he moved from the grill to in front of Liu Yu, blocking the sight of the people opposite.
With his brows lowered, he suddenly pulled out a black mask of the same style and said stiffly, "Put on the mask when you're full. There are so many people here."
Liu Yu took the mask from his hand with a dazed expression and put it on obediently, thinking that the way they looked was not conducive to venturing into the apocalypse, as it was too eye-catching.
She didn't notice the hint of jealousy in the man's eyes.
Ma Xinling, who was standing beside Sun Kun, was still stealing glances at Yan Qing's weak appearance.
As she looked around quietly, an idea flashed in her mind. She had only been on the ship for a few days and her body did not show any symptoms of salt deficiency. At the moment, the only one whose life was truly strangled by salt was Yan Qing.
If she can't get any salt this time, the old woman will most likely die in the next two days. Isn't this God helping her?
So she immediately shook Sun Kun's arm, and when Sun Kun suddenly came to his senses, she whispered to him and provoked him.
"Brother Kun, you've already made such a concession, but this woman is still hesitant to speak. Does she look down on your conditions?"
At this moment, Sun Kun's mind was still reflecting Liu Yu's extremely beautiful and delicate face, and for a moment he felt a little impatient with Ma Xinling, whom he had been longing for.
"That's not the case. I'm busy right now!"
Ma Xinling was suddenly yelled at by Sun Kun in a bad tone, and a trace of disbelief flashed across her eyes. Why did Sun Kun, who was so easy to provoke before, change his attitude so drastically now!
Only then did she realize that there was something very wrong with the way Sun Kun looked at the person opposite him. He looked as if he was completely bewildered. This look had only appeared when he saw her before.
She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Liu Yu carefully, but at this time she could only see the delicate eyebrows and eyes, and the rest was covered by the black mask.
But just those eyes and eyebrows were enough to set off alarm bells in Ma Xinling's heart. People like her who make a living by their looks are most sensitive to "enemies".
The charm exuded by Liu Yu's bright eyes when she blinked seemed to be able to seduce people, and Ma Xinling couldn't help but curse in her heart: It's obvious that she had undergone canthoplasty and eyelid surgery. Even with such a plastic surgery face, she dares to steal the limelight from her!
But Ma Xinling's target at the moment is not Liu Yu. Seeing that her first plan failed, she immediately came up with another one. She leaned on Sun Kun's arm with her chest puffed out proudly.
Sun Kun had been fooled by Ma Xinling's ambiguous tactics these days, and he had never really touched this girl before. Now he suddenly got such a big advantage, and he was boiling with excitement.
He was very clear about the difference between the high mountain flower that was far away and the rose that was within reach.
He immediately gave in to Ma Xinling.
Ma Xinling raised his eyebrows at this and said softly with great pride, "Brother Kun, we'll reach the Wild Beast Base in a few days by water. Why waste food exchanging it for salt now? We can easily exchange the salt once we get to the base, so we won't be 'slaughtered' by some people right now."
