In one morning, Jiang Wu and Bai Feiming cleared out most of the zombies from the outdoor area of the villa.
They killed nearly 200 zombies and obtained 11 level-one energy crystals.
The two had studied this crystal many times, but knew nothing about it except that it was harder than a diamond.
Bai Feiming even had the wild idea that this thing could be eaten to promote evolution.
Jiang Wu secretly tried it and swallowed the smallest one.
But nothing happened at all.
It comes out exactly as it was swallowed, even more so than enoki mushrooms.
He tried to smash the thing open to see if there was anything special inside, but after smashing two, he only got powder.
Then he swallowed some more, and nothing happened again.
From then on, Jiang Wu lost all interest in studying this thing and only used it as a tool to exchange for points.
We ate lunch a bit late; it was at the small building where Jiang Wu lived.
Su Ziyu assisted, and Wang Xi was the head chef; they prepared 12 dishes.
Apart from shredded radish and bean sprouts, the other ten dishes were all meat and eggs.
When they saw the dishes on the round table, Sun Pangzi and his four companions were once again dumbfounded.
Jiang Wu urged them several times, but they still hesitated to sit down at the table.
Seeing Sun Pangzi's cowardly appearance, Jiang Wu became impatient.
He slammed his hand on the table and said loudly, "Alright, stop dawdling. If I tell you to sit down, then sit down. I like things to be straightforward."
The five of them then sat down in their seats with unease.
Jiang Wu's lips twitched. They were all donkeys; he had to curse them.
First, Su Ziyu, Wang Xi, and Sun Pangzi were introduced.
Seeing that Fatty Sun and his companions didn't even dare to touch their chopsticks, and had restrained smiles on their faces.
Jiang Wu's lips twitched, and he said indifferently, "Let's eat, no need to be polite."
The head of the household spoke.
Seeing that Bai Feiming and Su Ziyu had also started eating, Sun Pangzi and the others finally dared to pick up their chopsticks and eat their rice.
However, they would only ever pick up the plate in front of them and never dared to turn the plate.
Bai Feiming took on the task of turning the table while eating, allowing Fatty Sun and the others to enjoy a variety of dishes.
As they were eating, a woman started to shed tears.
As if infected, apart from the bookworm, Fatty Sun and the others also started to shed tears.
Jiang Wu was engrossed in gnawing on a cured chicken leg when he sensed something was wrong and looked at Fatty Sun and the others.
Seeing the tears on their faces, I couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why are you crying while you're having a meal?"
Fatty Sun quickly wiped away his tears, laughing and crying at the same time, and said, "Son-in-law, we're just happy. We never thought we'd have a day like this to eat."
Jiang Wu understood their intentions but didn't care.
He casually said, "As long as you work diligently for me, I won't treat you unfairly. Eat well, you'll be busy this afternoon too."
Fatty Sun nodded heavily.
Despite making 12 dishes and cooking two large pots of rice enough for 15 men.
But Fatty Sun and his companions devoured the food like starving ghosts reincarnated.
With Jiang Wu, who already has a large appetite, as a base, the food, which was enough for at least fifteen people, was completely devoured by nine of them.
Sun Pangzi and several women were full of energy as they ate their fill of meat for the first time in more than twenty days.
They didn't even need to rest; they went straight outside to move zombie corpses.
The bookworm walked up to Jiang Wu and said earnestly, "Brother Wu, I am an undergraduate and graduate student in the Department of Precision Instruments at Tsinghua University. I have done a lot of research on mechanics and other related fields. I hope to join your team, and I will definitely prove my worth."
Jiang Wu asked curiously, "What is the Department of Precision Instruments?"
The bookworm carefully explained the main research directions of the Department of Precision Instruments.
Jiang Wu listened attentively; he had always held these scholars in high regard.
Unfortunately, my education level is too low, so I only understood a small part of what I heard.
However, knowing that the bookworm was a student at Tsinghua University, Jiang Wu looked at Bai Feiming and said with a smile, "Feifei, your junior!"
Bai Feiming made Jiang Wu a cup of hot milk, then sat down next to him and said quietly, "Brother Wu, it's up to you whether you accept him or not, don't worry about me."
Jiang Wu looked at the bookworm and asked, "Bookworm, did you know your senior sister Bai before?"
The bookworm nodded and said, "Senior Bai is a legendary figure at Tsinghua University. I've heard of her since I enrolled. She's a true goddess in the eyes of all the students."
Jiang Wu smiled smugly and said casually, "I don't have a team right now, so you'll just be like Fatty Sun and the others, helping me with my work."
As the bookworm turned to leave, Jiang Wu suddenly asked, "Bookworm, can I know why you wanted to join my team? For better food? For better accommodation? But I don't think you're that kind of person."
The bookworm turned around, looked at Jiang Wu calmly, and said, "Because you can kill zombies, I now have only one wish: to kill all these hateful zombies."
Jiang Wu laughed and said, "Then you're mistaken. I only kill zombies that pose a threat to me."
The bookworm fell silent.
Jiang Wu wasn't in a hurry. He leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and swung them back and forth.
A dozen seconds later, the bookworm said seriously, "But I see hope in you. Like some zombies, you are also evolving. You and Senior Bai are already different from ordinary people."
Jiang Wu smiled knowingly, "Are you trying to use me as a guinea pig? You're overthinking it. I don't like being used as a lab rat."
The nerd shook his head and said calmly, "I will only study zombies and weapons that can kill them. Evolvers like you are the hope for us ordinary people to survive. Only by staying by your side can I live a good life."
