Lu Yu's words were completely unambiguous.
Those outside, though feeling humiliated, could only shut up and leave dejectedly, faced with the twenty or so young, strong men inside who also possessed supernatural abilities.
Su Li watched from the stairs. When the people at the door turned around, her eyes met Lu Yu's. The two nodded to each other but didn't say anything more.
As for the cooperation methods mentioned by those outsiders, smart people know how to handle them.
As Su Li turned to go upstairs, she glanced at the first floor and noticed that there was a wall made of metal plates standing up, about two meters away from the door.
The wall is directly fitted into the roof and the ground, leaving a space of about two meters wide for people to pass through on the south side.
This metal plate must have been created using metal-related superpowers. Because of the small door that allows people to pass through, it doesn't block out the light, but it can block out what's inside.
Su Li could understand Lu Yu's intention in doing so.
Although the first floor is mostly occupied by boys, there are girls upstairs. Even though we are in the apocalypse and try to be considerate of each other for the sake of convenience, it is still reassuring to take some precautions to protect personal privacy.
That day, Su Li and the others ate two meals upstairs.
Because we hadn't gone out, and although we had been exercising, the intensity wasn't very high, so we weren't hungry. We didn't start cooking until 3 p.m.
Although Lu Yu and the others were downstairs, and she couldn't make it too conspicuous, Su Li didn't want to make her stomach suffer.
After discussing it, the group decided to make dumplings.
Su Li took out two bags of sauerkraut and a piece of pork from her spatial storage. The sauerkraut had already been shredded and would need to be washed twice and then chopped after opening the bags.
Huang Keke and Fang Chen took the initiative to take over the work of processing the sauerkraut and meat.
Then Qi Zhi and Xu Xiaojie were picking chives, while Lin Dong was in charge of kneading the dough and preparing the filling later.
Su Li then took a small basin of shrimp, soaked them in water, and removed the veins and shells from the shrimp.
Xuanqing squatted down beside Suli, watching her take a small toothpick, first remove the shrimp vein from the back of the shrimp, then remove the shrimp head, and then peel off the shrimp shell.
After watching for a while, he suddenly reached out and pulled a shrimp out of the basin.
The shrimp fell to the ground. He lowered his cat-like head and looked at the shrimp for a while. He held down the shrimp's tail with one paw, and with the sharp claws of his other paw, he gently scratched the shrimp's back. The curved claws then hooked onto the shrimp's shell, and the transparent shell fell off completely!
Then he used his cat paw to poke the shrimp head, and the shrimp head came off, and the whole shrimp meat was peeled off!
Su Li watched as the cat used its paws to hold the shrimp in place, then peeled the shell, removed the head, and finally looked at her.
Su Li silently gave Xuan Qing a thumbs up: "Cat is awesome!"
Xuanqing: "I'm no ordinary cat, I'm just peeling a shrimp..."
Zurich: ...
Even though cats can talk, they're still quite proud and aloof!
Although there were many people and a lot of food to cook, everyone was able to help, so the food preparation was quick!
Huang Keke and Fang Chen quickly chopped up the sauerkraut and pork, and Lin Dong took them over and started preparing the filling.
Once all the seasonings are added, pour in a large spoonful of hot oil, stir it, and a rich aroma of pickled cabbage mixed with spices immediately fills the air!
Even Su Li, who doesn't really like pickled cabbage, started to crave it after smelling it!
After preparing the sauerkraut and pork filling, Lin Dong started preparing the three-delicacy filling.
The eggs were stir-fried in hot oil, mixed with chopped chives and large chunks of cleaned and chopped shrimp, and then seasoned. The flavor was already strong even before the seasoning was finished.
Lin Dong specifically asked Su Li for more noodles: "Make a lot more, put the extras in your space, and cook them directly tomorrow morning, so you don't have to cook anything else."
After preparing the filling and kneading the dough, I started wrapping the dumplings.
Meanwhile, Lu Yu and his group downstairs heard the chopping sounds and couldn't resist coming up out of curiosity.
Zhao Kejia came upstairs and saw that the others were making dumplings. Being young, she immediately exclaimed with envy, "Wow! Coach, you're eating so well! It smells so good!"
Lin Dong immediately laughed upon hearing this.
He had intended to offer to give some to Zhao Kejia after he finished packing them, but then he remembered that these were ingredients for the entire team and couldn't be given away casually. In the end, he held back and simply looked at Zhao Kejia and asked, "Haven't you eaten yet?"
"without."
Zhao Kejia shook her head: "We'll probably be eating instant noodles again tonight..."
As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously fell on the bowl of three-delicacy filling with clearly visible shrimp pieces on the table in front of Lin Dong, and he swallowed hard.
Su Li almost laughed at the sight of him.
She was about to suggest that they could exchange something for dumplings if they wanted some, but before she could even speak, Zhao Kejia's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Lin Dong and said, "I'll go ask the captain if we can have dumplings tonight!"
Before the people in the room could even react, he had already dashed downstairs!
The speed startled everyone in the room. Su Li looked in the direction where Zhao Kejia disappeared, then looked at Lin Dong, who looked calm on the other side.
Receiving Su Li's shocked gaze, Lin Dong spoke calmly:
"That's normal. When he was fifteen, he was at the martial arts gym. During a five-minute break in training, he would run down from the fourth floor to the supermarket to buy a sausage, eat it, and then run back up!"
Five minutes??
Qi Zhi was astonished.
Lin Dong nodded again, and then he heard Xuan Qing silently conclude: "To work so hard just to eat, it's a real pity he didn't awaken a speed ability..."
The others, upon hearing this, said: ...
Zhao Kejia went downstairs to find Lu Yu. Su Li and the others didn't care whether she could eat the food she wanted.
The noodles and dumpling filling were already prepared. Only Lin Dong and Su Li knew how to roll out the dough, so the task of rolling out the dough naturally fell to them, while the others were responsible for wrapping the dumplings.
So the dumplings for the group were cooked from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m.
Su Li patted the flour off her hands and suddenly noticed Xuan Qing, who was half-asleep with his eyes half-closed. She raised her hand and gently patted him on the back.
Immediately, a white handprint appeared on the jet-black, glossy fur on its back!
Xuanqing: …………
He squinted at the girl standing next to him, who was smiling brightly. He was speechless, but mostly happy.
Humans are indeed better suited to living in groups.
He still remembered the extremely cautious feeling Su Li gave him when they first met.
Back then, almost everything she did and every decision she made was purposeful, and she was thinking of herself to the greatest extent possible.
Even her affection for him... or rather, for the cat, was merely a superficial desire to satisfy her urge to pet the cat.
But now, perhaps because of the presence of these teammates she can rely on, she has finally begun to be less tense all the time, and is finally able to express some of her true emotions to people other than herself!
