Chapter 48: There are always many arrogant fools

A fire was burning on the fourth floor of the supermarket, and the crackling sound of burning wood was heard continuously.

Chiyou sat on the cushion removed from the sofa, holding a long knife obtained from a survivor in the mall as a fire stick, turning over the firewood in the simple stove to make it burn more fully.

This comprehensive supermarket has a particularly complete range of items. For example, the source of firewood was that Chiyou discovered a store selling sofas and double beds on the third floor. Chiyou removed the cushions from the sofas and chopped down a few double beds to collect firewood.

By the way, the simple stove he built was made from the metal frame of a double bed.

Chiyou cut down the frames one by one, bent them and made several cuts in them, then pieced them together to form a net-like hemisphere.

The firewood is placed inside, and between the hemispheres there are two smaller frames that are slightly taller than the firewood.

A rice cooker liner on top, covered with a lid.

The other is a wok.

There were various seasonings placed at Chiyou's feet.

This is the advantage of a comprehensive supermarket.

Although vegetables, meat and other things are expired.

However, bagged rice, various seasonings, etc. can still be used normally.

As for the raw materials for cooking, Chiyou took out a few cards from his card backpack, and after tearing them open, he saw some vegetables and a whole beef hind leg in front of him.

The quality is quite good.

Chi You couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Don't blame him for not being so good. He really hadn't had a proper meal in nearly two months. Just thinking about having a hot and delicious meal in a while was enough to make him unable to control himself.

Chiyou didn't use a kitchen knife. Bingyu just cut the meat into neat and even strips with a few slashes.

He doesn't know how to cook anything fancy, just the simplest ones, stir-frying beef with peppers, making a tomato beef soup, and stir-frying vegetables.

Chop vegetables, heat oil, stir-fry, add seasoning...

Those blood-stained hands were now fiddling with the bottles and jars with great skill.

Chiyou’s cooking skills are actually quite good and he can make home-cooked meals that are both delicious and tasty.

There was no other way. The family was in debt and had finally paid off its debts. My parents had passed away and things were about to get better, but then my sister fell seriously ill.

Chiyou really had no money to eat out or order takeout, so he had to cook by himself. Chiyou, who was only ten years old, picked up the wok and has been cooking for more than ten years.

Before Chiyou started cooking, he made a stand and put a rice cooker inner pot on it to make soup.

The remaining beef was skewered with the long knife that had burst from the hands of others. The beef legs were pierced, the cuts were made into fancy shapes, and seasonings were applied. The beef was then slowly roasted on the rack.

These things may seem like a lot, but considering Chiyou's upgraded appetite, they are really nothing.

In a short while, the food was out of the pot, and just the smell of it made my stomach growl.

Eat!

Chiyou scooped two large spoonfuls of rice and poured it directly into the fried beef with chili peppers, then topped it with vegetables. He took a big bite, feeling the hot rice and the aroma that rushed straight into his nose.

Chiyou felt as if his whole body was melting away.

fragrant!

It smells so damn good!

This is the life people should live.

Although the wood fire of the simple stove was not as convenient as that of a normal stove, and Chiyou was not used to the new pot, the dishes were somewhat lackluster. Before the apocalypse, they would definitely be classified as unqualified. However, after the apocalypse, being able to eat a hot meal that was freshly cooked could truly be considered a luxury.

Chi You finished his meal in no time. Not feeling full yet, he looked at the beef leg on the fire.

Not yet cooked.

Fortunately, after eating a big pot of rice and two dishes, I wasn't as hungry as before.

Chiyou was drinking the soup while turning the uncooked beef leg.

“Tap, tap, tap…”

But before the meat was cooked, a series of footsteps were heard from below.

Judging from the sound, it was still quite far away, but there were relatively few zombies nearby, and with Chiyou's good hearing, he was able to hear it from far away.

"well."

Chiyou couldn't help but sigh.

He was next to the atrium on the fourth floor. The fire was so bright that anyone who came in would be able to spot him immediately.

He finally had a hot meal and was in a good mood. He didn't really feel like cooking again tonight.

I hope those people won’t enter the supermarket, or are smart enough not to disturb him.

Chiyou had good intentions, however, things did not go as he wished.

After a few minutes, two men came in, one tall and one short, walking and chatting.

"Hahahaha, I wonder if there are any beautiful women here."

"I hope so. You played too hard last time. I didn't have enough fun, and you ruined me."

"You can't blame me for this. Who told her not to cooperate? Okay, okay, it's just a small matter. I can just catch two more people."

"That's right. This end of the world is really fucking awesome. If it were in the past, we wouldn't be able to do this."

“Hahahahahaha.”

A series of obscene laughter came from downstairs. They saw the fire burning on the fourth floor at a glance. They leaped along the atrium and jumped directly from the first floor to Chiyou.

At this stage, the first echelon of ordinary people is about level 20, and those with better luck can be around level 25. For them, jumping more than ten meters high is not a difficult task.

Don’t think this level is very high; the end of the world has been going on for more than two months.

If Chiyou hadn't gone back to farm potions and dark equipment for a few days, and instead focused on leveling up, he would have been level 40 by now.

"Boy, are you the only one here?"

The tall man spoke, his tone was very impolite.

This is the confidence that his rank gives him.

He and his friends were very lucky. They obtained two pieces of gold equipment right after the apocalypse began, which allowed them to survive the most difficult early stages and successfully upgrade to level 21.

Normally, no matter who they meet, even if they cannot beat them, no one can stop them if they want to run away. Even so, why should they live in frustration? It would be more comfortable to be a little more unrestrained.

"well."

Chiyou sighed again. Why is it that after two months of the apocalypse, this idiot is still alive?

Late at night, in the mall, alone, wearing full gear, leisurely cooking and barbecuing.

Aren't these circumstances combined enough to prove that he is a strong man?

Is Chiyou a strong man?

Not only did you not go around, but you even dared to jump up on your own initiative?

Who gave them the courage?

"It's a pity that I'm in a good mood so rarely."

"What are you talking about here, kid? I'm asking you..."

Swish.

Ice crystals flashed by, and the tall man's voice stopped abruptly. His upper body fell directly into the fire, and his blood soaked the firewood, causing large clouds of green smoke to rise. At the moment Chi You grasped the ice jade, a freezing coldness instantly enveloped the surroundings.

The short man reacted and immediately entered combat mode. His equipment glowed with light and his eyes were fixed on Chiyou. However, his trembling lips and legs revealed his inner fear.

I messed with someone I shouldn't have messed with.

The dwarf realized what a stupid thing they had done. Everything had been going smoothly for them, which made them more and more arrogant. Now they finally hit a wall.

"Brother, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I can give you equipment and let me go. How about that?" the fat man said nervously. If Chiyou rejected this proposal, he would have no choice but to launch a counterattack, even if he would die, because he had no confidence in escaping. He didn't even see how Chiyou killed the tall man.

"While I don't think you have any equipment I'd like, it might be of some value."

Chiyou's words made the dwarf's mouth twitch and he forced out a smile. He should be able to survive. Although it would be a headache to lose his equipment, it was better than dying. But just when he wanted to say the next sentence, the ice crystal bloomed again.

"But, if I kill you, your equipment will also be mine."

As Chiyou finished speaking, the dwarf's head fell down and rolled into a dark corner, bumping into a pile of corpses consisting of dozens of bodies.
