Upon entering the outskirts of Shengde, Zhou Pin found a sparsely populated spot to park; it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
The two set up a small table next to the car to have lunch. They had eaten some snacks in the car at ten o'clock, so they weren't particularly hungry. For lunch, they simply ate instant noodles, which Xu Lin hadn't had in a long time and missed.
Zhou Pin used an alcohol-fueled pot to boil milk, added hot pot base and mineral water, and also added grilled sausage, poached egg, bok choy, enoki mushrooms, lotus root slices, bamboo shoots, baby bok choy, frozen tofu, beef balls, fish tofu, and shrimp. After boiling, he added instant noodles, and finally drizzled sesame sauce on top, sprinkled chopped green onions and cilantro, and poured in some vinegar and chili oil.
This isn't just simple instant noodles; it's clearly a spicy hot pot with instant noodles added.
The dogs didn't wait for their owner to feed them; they took off running and disappeared into the nearby grove.
The two ate their meal leisurely.
“There should be farms nearby, but I don’t know what their current situation is,” Xu Lin said.
“The natural disaster here is not as severe as in other places. You can see that the trees and grass by the roadside are even more lush than at the Beijing base.”
"We probably won't be able to get free purchases anymore."
"You can't say that. We can double-cross each other."
Xu Lin looked at Zhou Pin for a while and thought what he said made a lot of sense.
"I suddenly regret letting those robbers go."
"If we're going to do something, let's do something big. Those guys look like a bunch of rabble, they're nothing special."
"Quite an appetite, Zhou the Bandit! Judging from your tone, you have a target?"
"Heavenly secrets must not be revealed."
"They even installed it on me. Are you going to tell me or not?" Xu Lin tickled him.
"Say it, say it, stop right now!"
Who would have thought that the brilliant and powerful Zhou Pin was actually most ticklish?
What do you think of the surrounding area?
"It's great. Compared to other places, this place is lush with green trees and vegetation."
"Then why is this place so deserted?"
"ah!"
The two exchanged a glance, and an idea formed in their minds.
"Bring out something with a strong flavor to lure the snake out of its hole," Zhou Pin said.
Xu Lin realized why Zhou Pin wanted to make spicy hot pot; there was clearly a lot of food in the space, but it turned out that his real intention was not what he intended to make.
Xu Lin took out the fried skewers and stinky tofu she had made earlier from her spatial storage. She had just taken them out and hadn't even started eating when the dogs came back.
"Your noses are quite sensitive."
Xu Lin threw a piece of beef over, but the greedy Shuke didn't eat it.
“There’s something going on nearby; the fish has taken the bait,” Zhou Pin said.
Xu Lin put away the alcohol pot, bowls, chopsticks, and other useless items to prevent them from being damaged in the event of a fight, as these are non-renewable resources in the apocalypse.
Three minutes later, four men arrived, carrying machetes and nail guns.
"I thought she was some big shot, but she's just a bunch of two sheep. This girl is pretty. I'll take her back for the boss to have a taste of. This pretty boy can be a treat for the young lady."
Seeing that the other person had a nail gun, Xu Lin took a gun out of her backpack and handed it to Zhou Pin.
The person who was speaking immediately shut up when he saw that Xu Lin had a gun.
"Bringing out two toy guns to scare people, don't they know I have sharp eyes? Brothers, don't be afraid, just look at their car and you'll know it was worth coming out today. No need to go back to look for people, we'll take care of it for them."
After saying that, he took the lead and rushed forward, followed by the others.
"Bang!"
The air fell silent instantly.
"A gun, a gun, it's real, it's real. What do we do, brother?"
"Excuse me, we're just passing by. Please continue your picnic, we won't disturb you any longer."
After saying that, the four of them turned around and tried to run away.
