Tong Ziqi and the others were dumbfounded and stood there at a loss.
What happened to their supposed fragility and innocence? How come they're casually pulling out things they wouldn't even dare to dream of?!
It's already the third year of the apocalypse! And there's still self-heating rice, this god-gift of life?!
The enticing aroma of food soon wafted over, and Cheng Mofan was the first to lose his composure, cautiously looking at Lu Sheng, "Are you really going to let us eat?"
"Dude, eat up. With Sister Lu around, you'll get everything except human flesh."
In critical moments, only a fool can save a fool.
With Zhang Xiaojuan's comforting words, Cheng Mofan let loose and showed off his braised chicken rice on the spot.
After recovering from their shock, Tong Ziqi and the others couldn't resist the temptation of the self-heating rice and wolfed it down.
Although the chemical plant provided them with food, the living conditions were poor; they were basically just fed enough to avoid starvation. These people hadn't had anything decent to eat in almost three years, and suddenly their appetites were like black holes that had been opened.
"I never expected Little Lu to be so amazing." Cheng Mofan chuckled as he ate.
Lu Sheng: "..."
Oh no, the concentration of idiots in the team has increased.
After the two groups finished eating, the frenzied zombies outside finally calmed down.
Tong Ziqi stood up and looked around. "The poison gas has been diluted by the rain, and the zombies have all quieted down."
"Let's go." Lu Sheng stood up briskly.
The two teams crossed the asphalt road that had been overrun by zombies, and after half an hour, they finally stood in front of the chemical plant gate.
Upon entering the vicinity of the chemical plant, Xiao Ning activated the shielding magnetic field to envelop everyone inside, and was not worried about the people inside discovering them for the time being.
The chemical plant's gates were tightly shut, bearing the deep marks of successive natural disasters. High walls surrounded the plant, all connected to a high-voltage power grid; from the outside, the entire factory resembled a large prison, so impenetrable even a fly couldn't get in.
"We need to find a way in." Xiao Yu looked around. "Would breaking down the door be too loud? Are there guards inside?"
"Yes, we took advantage of the chaos inside the factory today to find a chance to escape," Gu Wen nodded.
"What should we do then?" Zhang Xiaojuan gestured to the height of the wall. "Shall we get a ladder and climb up?"
He was about to take out the clay when Tong Ziqi stopped him.
"Let's go through the side door, and keep a low profile."
The two groups walked around for several dozen meters to a secluded spot at the back, where they found a small iron gate that could only accommodate two people at a time.
“It won’t be easy to break this open.” Zhang Xiaojuan stepped forward and touched it. “It’s the oldest kind of bolted iron door. Sister Lu’s decoder won’t work. We’ll have to use brute force.”
"It's alright, we have Li Kun."
Tong Ziqi gave a wink to the fair-skinned, naturally curly-haired boy behind her.
Li Kun took two steps to the door, cleared his throat, and whispered, "Open Sesame."
"Starting with abstract stuff, huh?" Zhang Xiaojuan was just about to laugh when she saw the small iron gate open with a click.
The smile that hadn't even had a chance to spread instantly froze on his face.
Holy crap! Holy crap!
Tong Ziqi hurriedly explained, "Li Kun's secondary ability is lock picking, but he can only use it once a day, and it can be used on any lock."
Lu Sheng and his group were quite worldly, but they were still slightly surprised by the biodiversity.
This superpower may seem useless most of the time, but it could be a lifesaver in a critical moment.
After opening the gate, the two teams carefully slipped into the factory area.
Tong Ziqi and Huang Jianbo took the lead, while Gu Wen, Li Kun, and Cheng Mofan followed Lu Sheng and the others.
"Don't panic no matter what you see, we're here for you."
Although she ate Lu Sheng and the others' food, Tong Ziqi had always been a leader among children and still habitually treated Lu Sheng and the others as younger siblings who needed her care.
"This girl is so kind; she's got some of Sister Lu's charm," Zhang Xiaojuan couldn't help but exclaim.
Lu Sheng didn't say anything, but kept an air bomb in his hand and patted the rocket's rear to keep it by Tong Ziqi's side.
She finally had a moment to focus her attention on her surroundings.
The factory area was in a complete mess.
The open area was littered with mutilated corpses, their bodies ripped open like sacks. Thick bloodstains stretched from the factory to the entrance, sticking to the soles of shoes when stepped on.
Every now and then, a lone mutated zombie would stagger towards them, but Xiao Ning would easily kill it.
If he finds a good-looking one, he'll take a couple of bites, making sure nothing is wasted.
Cheng Mofan and the others turned pale with fright as they watched Xiao Ning devour the zombie. They quickly scurried to stay close to the relatively normal Sun Tiantian and Zhang Xiaojuan, fearing that their older brother might go crazy from hunger and devour them.
