Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Zombies
No one cares about the black rooster's crow.
He Junxia was obsessed with petting cats. She picked up the processed meat and fed it piece after piece. Before she knew it, a whole piece of chicken breast was in the stomach of the big orange cat.
Xie Chaoyang's expression changed from initial shock to habitual numbness, and the way he looked at He Junxia was as if he was looking at King Zhou who was obsessed with Daji's beauty.
And the shameless fat cat is the hateful Daji.
Xie Chaoyang stared expressionlessly at the fat cat acting cutely beside He Junxia's legs, with unconcealable disgust in his eyes.
No reason
He just doesn't like this fat cat who eats and drinks for free!
The fat cat, sensing the hostility, tilted its head slightly, its pair of emerald green pupils rapidly dilated, and the soft hair on its tail and back exploded instantly.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Noticing the sudden change in the orange cat, He Junxia followed its gaze, but only saw a harmless Xie Chaoyang.
Xie Chaoyang: "Brother, the water is boiling."
Bubbles gurgled in the casserole on the tripod, and curls of white mist rose into the sky. He Junxia quickly withdrew her hand from petting the cat, reduced the fire under the tripod, and skimmed the foam from the casserole with a small slotted spoon.
At this time, the air was filled with the strong aroma of meat.
The fat cat, which turned over its belly and used the sound of clapping to seduce humans, smacked its lips, then immediately stood up and meowed, rubbing against He Junxia's feet.
Big Fat Cat: (>^ω^<)
"Wait, you can't eat now."
He Junxia resisted the urge to squat down and pet the cat, pushed the fat cat away with her foot, and scooped out the chicken from the casserole with a slotted spoon, leaving only a piece of chicken breast and a drumstick to continue cooking.
Ten minutes later, he removed the casserole and tripod, poured out the water in the casserole, and then placed the grill on the fire.
Sizzle, sizzle
Under the scorching flames, the chicken feet, wing tips, and middle wings on the grill gradually changed color, becoming temptingly golden and sizzling with oil. The strong aroma of barbecue instantly dominated the air.
Xie Chaoyang touched his stomach and felt that he could still eat another meal. The big fat cat meowed non-stop, with its eyes wide open, staring at the skewers on the grill.
Sniffing the scent in the air, the cook He Junxia couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and felt an urge to embezzle.
How can the cook’s work be called stealing?
He Junxia picked up a golden and shiny chicken wing tip and put it into her mouth.
The tips of the wings are very hot right out of the grill. There is no extra seasoning on them, just a little salt and chili powder. They are fragrant and spicy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and covered with oily juices flowing everywhere.
He Junxia quickly finished cooking a wing tip in the scorching heat. While his mouth was still savoring the delicious taste, his eyes were already scanning the grill, searching for the next target.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most delicious grilled chicken wings he has ever eaten, and the taste of other grilled skewers must be not much worse - he may not trust his barely qualified cooking skills, but he must believe in the quality of the exotic beast meat.
Just as He Junxia was about to stretch out his evil hand for the second time, two eager eyes brought him back to his senses.
cough cough
I almost forgot that he now has a child to raise.
The hand in mid-air paused, then naturally changed direction and reached towards the condiment table.
He Junxia asked, "Chaoyang, which one do you want to eat? What flavor do you want? Spicy, five-spice, or dry dip?"
Xie Chaoyang didn't expect that he could choose the flavor. He pursed his lips and said cautiously, "I want to eat spicy chicken wings. Is that okay?"
He had never eaten spicy grilled chicken wings, but he had seen Aunt Zhang make grilled chicken wings in an air fryer. His brother's mouth was full of oil after eating them, and he even asked for a second one.
It should be delicious.
"sure."
"You can eat anything you want."
He Junxia seemed not to notice the child's shyness. She picked up the ready-made barbecue seasoning from the supermarket and sprinkled it evenly on the chicken wings. She then handed the grilled chicken wings evenly coated with the red seasoning to Xie Chaoyang.
Xie Chaoyang gently bit the edge of the chicken wing. It was crispy, a little spicy and fragrant, and full of glossy juice. No wonder his younger brother liked it so much.
The child was eating the delicious grilled chicken wings, but his eyes were always looking at the people in front of the barbecue stall. Now someone was making grilled chicken wings for him.
Cats want to eat too!
The big fat cat used its body to push away the annoying child who was lingering and tried to grab the skewers on the grill with its claws.
He Junxia smiled and held up the grilled skewers one by one and waved them in front of the greedy cat: "Young kitten, are you dropping this grilled chicken wings, this grilled chicken legs, or this grilled chicken rack?"
"Meow~~" "Meow~~"
The kitten smacked its lips, lay on the ground with its belly exposed, and looked at He Junxia eagerly, saying that he would get a skewer in exchange for sucking its belly once.
He Junxia reached out and scratched the big orange cat's chin. When the cat squinted its eyes in enjoyment, he picked up a roasted chicken leg without any seasoning and handed it to it.
The big fat cat opened its huge mouth to eat, but couldn't eat more. It quickly spat out the hot roasted chicken leg and cautiously used its claws to pick at this delicious bad thing.
He Junxia was overjoyed.
The big fat cat raised its head angrily, and when it found out that the person who laughed at it was its breadwinner, it started to act coquettishly in a sticky voice.
It was the first time that He Junxia encountered such a friendly mutant animal.
Normally, even pets raised from infancy would develop a certain wildness after mutation. They wouldn't be ferocious, but at least they wouldn't turn their belly up and act like a spoiled child to a stranger just to get some food.
He Junxia squatted down and rubbed the fat cat's head.
It’s not good to be so close to your relatives.
Little did he know that in a place where he couldn't see, his family's big fat cat and Xie Chaoyang were staring coldly at each other, with the ferocity of a predator in their eyes.
It is not a delicate kitten, it has plenty of strength and means!
Xie Chaoyang spat out the chicken bone expressionlessly, not at all afraid of the ferocity in the orange cat's eyes, and even secretly used his supernatural powers to provoke it.
A man and a cat are fed up with each other.
“Ohhhh~~~”
The chicken also wants to eat, the chicken also wants to eat.
The black rooster tried to make the same clipping sound as the orange cat, and also tried hard to kick its legs and wings, imitating the orange cat to expose its belly.
He Junxia was concentrating on gnawing on the chicken feet, selectively ignoring the strange noise made by the black rooster. When she became impatient with the noise, she glared at the rooster, completely unaware of the undercurrent between Xie Chaoyang and the orange cat.
The black rooster shut up in grievance under the threat of the eyes.
He Junxia put the remaining skewers in a bowl and let Xie Chaoyang eat as much as he wanted. He also told the child that if the greedy cat wanted more after finishing the grilled chicken legs, he should feed it a few more skewers without seasoning.
Xie Chaoyang nodded obediently.
He Junxia picked up the casserole on the ground. It was winter now. Although it had not snowed yet, the temperature was only a few degrees above zero and it was already freezing cold.
He took out the chicken breast and drumsticks, poured the chicken from another bowl into the casserole, and then poured in the soaked mushrooms along with the soaking water.
While the chicken soup was cooking, He Junxia put on disposable plastic gloves, tore the drumsticks and chicken breasts that were placed aside into strips, and poured the sauce of lemon shredded chicken from the supermarket on them.
A simple cold dish is all you need.
He Junxia picked up some shredded chicken with chopsticks and tasted it. It was sour and spicy, appetizing, with a fresh lemon scent, and not greasy at all.
He Junxia took a break and turned her attention to the two little ones. Then she saw Xie Chaoyang and the greedy fat cat rolling on the ground. The black rooster stared at them without blinking, and sometimes made excited crowing sounds.
"Does it look good?"
The black rooster turned his head stiffly, met a smiling face, and closed his eyes pretending to be dead, with two lines of tears flowing from the corners of his eyes.
Hateful humans
You are not allowed to eat or watch movies. I will draw a circle and curse you!
He Junxia sat on the steps, eating lemon-shredded chicken while watching the battle between man and cat. The cat's claws didn't pop out, and the man's supernatural powers didn't appear. They didn't fight seriously.
Adults don't interfere.
"Coo-coo," "Coo-coo," "Coo-coo"
He Junxia shifted his gaze impatiently and found that it was other hens that were crowing, so he retracted the threatening look in his eyes, thought for a moment, and took out the unused dried mushrooms to feed the chickens.
Seeing the delicious food, the hens stopped clucking around and focused on pecking at the food.
The black rooster quietly opened its eyes, glared at a few hens threateningly, stretched its neck to try to get a piece of the pie, but was slapped back.
The slap was neither painful nor noisy, it was simply to prevent it from snatching food.
Black cock is unbelievable.
No way, if you don’t let me eat it, you might as well kill me.
"Um?"
He Junxia smiled and said, "I heard that chickens fed with mushrooms are tastier than regular chickens. The meat is more tender and has a mushroom flavor."
The black rooster shrank its neck and continued to play dead.
He Junxia watched its movements, a hint of inquiry flashing in his eyes.
Back at the Yunjiang base, he'd been so absorbed in forging cold weapons that he didn't know much about mutant animals. Now, it seemed like mutant animals with special abilities were much smarter than those without.
At least he had never seen a mutant animal more human-like than this black rooster.
Oh no, maybe that greedy cat too.
He Junxia frowned slightly.
Neither zombie humans nor zombie animals have the ability to reproduce, and sooner or later the world will become a battlefield between humans and mutant creatures.
If the IQ of mutant creatures also evolves, it will be difficult for humans to reach the top of the world pyramid.

"Gurgle, gurgle" "Gurgle, gurgle"
The unique aroma of mushrooms and chicken soup has been fully mixed with the air, making people salivate.
Juan Xia stood up and stretched: "Stop fighting, come over and have some chicken soup."
The man and the cat who were fighting stopped immediately when they heard the sound. The child stood where he was, with a rosy little face (actually red and warm) full of energy.
He Junxia showed a satisfied smile. Children should act like children, be lively and always try to figure out what adults are thinking.
However, the child's body froze in the next second.
Xie Chaoyang never thought that he would be so childish as to fight with the stinky cat in front of his brother.
Will he be mad at me for fighting with his favorite cat?
Will he abandon me?
Thinking of this, the blush on the child's face quickly faded and turned pale.
The big fat cat didn't have the complicated thoughts of a human child. He licked his paws, ran excitedly towards the human in front of him, and skillfully fell to the ground and rolled on his belly.
But the expected gentle caress did not come.
The big fat cat sat up in confusion, looked around, and found that the good-tempered strong man was talking to the weak human child.
Meow meow meow?
Don’t you want to drink chicken soup? Slurp, the chicken soup smells so good.
The good-tempered strong man touched the human child's head and said with a smile: "Why, are you unhappy because you lost the fight?"
Xie Chaoyang's eyes were red: "I didn't lose!"
After he finished speaking, he realized that his voice was very loud. He lowered his head even more and tears fell from his eyes.
My brother must hate him even more.
Don’t cry, I won’t cry. Just hate him if you want. He is a born bad boy anyway. When he grows up, he will be caught by the police and put in jail, and he will also be shot to death, just like what the man said.
No one would really like him.
He Junxia touched her nose awkwardly, feeling a little overwhelmed. She couldn't understand why the child was fine and suddenly started crying.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"Is it painful because of the kitten's scratch?"
"Shall we go get some chicken soup?"
He Junxia clamped his throat and used almost the gentlest voice in his life. Strangely, the more he spoke, the harder Xie Chaoyang cried. His sobs turned into loud cries, and his tears couldn't stop flowing.
He Junxia kept thinking about what went wrong.
God knows, I’m not afraid of naughty kids making noises, I’m just afraid of good kids crying.
Although this child is a little thoughtful, he is very well-behaved and obedient. He does whatever he is told to do and eats whatever he is told to eat without crying or making a fuss. He still has work in his eyes and will take the initiative to work.
And to be rational, the child knew to escape from the laboratory during the chaos and was able to live outside alone for nearly half a month. He should not be the type of person who would cry loudly over an unimportant win or loss.
He Junxia racked her brains but couldn't figure out what the problem was. She even began to fall into deep self-doubt. Could it be that one of her words had touched the child's sore spot?
Little did they know that they were both stuck in a dead end.
A person whose mind is filled with thoughts that he is a bad kid and deserves to be unwanted, falls into a state of self-abandonment and memories of the past. The more he hears words of concern from others, the more inexpressibly sad he becomes.
If you can't express yourself, you can only cry to vent your emotions.
The other one's mind was full of questions: why did she cry? Is there something wrong with my parenting method? Am I really not suitable for raising children?
People are self-doubting but forget how anxious and aggrieved a sensitive child who is rarely cared for and loved by his family will feel when he suddenly receives care and love from others.
Not to mention a child, even an adult would be unable to restrain his or her desire to cry when receiving care from others when not understood and valued by relatives.
That is the necessary process as the scars in your heart slowly heal.
