What troubled An Ge the most was the chef, not the staff, but the ingredients.
Compared to the ancient world, the post-apocalyptic world obviously cannot purchase ingredients from the outside world; currently, they can only buy them from the in-game store.
It's not only expensive, but also very troublesome.
Other items can be stored in the warehouse in advance, but food has a short shelf life and cannot be stored in large quantities at once. She can't just do nothing and be a mobile warehouse all day, can she?
Upon hearing this, Meng Xia voiced the thoughts that had been on her mind all along.
“Little Ge’er, the situation here is actually quite similar to that in interstellar space. Since plants can be brought back to life in interstellar space, I think it can definitely be done here as well. Speaking of which, my planet is even bigger than this one, so I can just build another one.”
Meng Xia's words stunned An Ge.
She has always taken things upon herself and gotten used to changing the status quo with her own abilities, but she forgot that Meng Xia, as a chosen one, also has her own pride.
"Okay, then I'll leave this to you."
Hearing that An Ge had entrusted her with such an important task, Meng Xia smiled, but she still knew her own limitations. "Then I'll ask Uncle Rong for help. He has experience in clearing wasteland and farming."
"I'll ask Uncle Rong for his opinion when I go back this time, and I'll bring our branch manager with me."
An Ge planned to directly appoint Zhang Zhengyi as the branch manager, with Lu Yan assisting him. She trusted his abilities, and although Zhang Zhengyi's personality didn't suit her, she was willing to give him a chance.
Of course, the real reason is that Lu Yan is unwilling to deal with these trivial matters.
With the matter at the inn temporarily settled, the two were preparing to head to the Hope Base when Lou Han was leading a team toward the inn.
Because of the departure of some members, the team's morale was not high. Lou Han had a gloomy face, and even his confidants dared not provoke him easily.
As they approached the inn, someone with sharp eyes spotted a group of zombies ahead and trembled with fear. "Captain, there are zombies!"
The journey had been relatively peaceful, and they were somewhat puzzled, not expecting to encounter a horde of zombies ahead.
Lou Han was furious. Seeing that the zombies were not high-level, he took action and eliminated several nearby zombies.
Just as the team was about to make their move, they heard someone's dissatisfied voice, "Hey, you guys, stop! You're all so strong, go fight zombies somewhere else. These are resources that the shopkeeper left for those with lower strength."
Xiao Ma and his friends were about to go further in and fight a few more strong zombies when they saw a small team competing with them for resources, and they immediately became resentful. Ignoring Cheng Tian's attempts to stop them, he spoke first.
Cheng Tian quickly explained, "Sorry, zombies are a public resource, that's not what we meant."
After saying that, he glared at Xiao Ma. The shop manager was kindly helping them, but that was not a reason for them to treat these zombies as their own resources.
Xiao Ma shrank his neck. In fact, he regretted saying those words as soon as he did. He had been having too good a time and had inadvertently reverted to his old ways.
Lou Han seemed to have heard something unbelievable: in this world, there were actually people stealing zombies?
Huang Boda glanced at Lou Han's expression and stepped forward, saying, "This is a horde of zombies. Our captain helped us, and instead of being grateful, you're blaming us!"
As they were talking, the zombies that had been wandering around suddenly spotted them and all ran toward them.
Chengtian shouted, "Go back quickly!" Before he finished speaking, the group of people left in the same direction.
"Uh, could there be a high-level superhuman behind them?" Huang Boda cautiously guessed.
"Ignore it, we're not far from the inn, let's keep going." Lou Han felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
After bypassing the horde of zombies, the group soon spotted a two-story building with a sign that read "Xianyuan Inn Branch No. 1" prominently displayed on the roof.
Everyone was thrilled; the news was actually true.
Lou Han led his team to the front of the building, and suddenly froze, because right in front of the building was a group of zombies, the same group they had seen before.
"What the hell? Is the inn surrounded by zombies?" Huang Boda was startled, and the whole team became alert, ready to take action at any moment.
Then they saw the people who had left earlier pointing at and talking to several zombies, giving them the illusion that they were picking out merchandise.
"Boss, should we try this level three one?"
Chengtian raised his hand to refuse, "No, there are two level-two zombies next to it. We're already struggling to deal with level-two, let alone level-three."
"Sigh, the captain of that squad just now looked to be at least level four. He wiped out several level two zombies with a wave of his hand. He's really amazing."
Some people worried, "What if there aren't enough zombies to go around when there are more people with superpowers?"
Cheng Tian's expression turned serious as he said, "What gave you the idea that zombies are your own property? Or do you think zombies aren't scary at all? Things have been going too smoothly lately; where has your vigilance gone?"
The group felt somewhat ashamed after what was said. Chengtian was right; they had been far too arrogant lately.
They used to be terrified of even a level one zombie, but now they don't even care about a level two one.
The group was reflecting on their actions, unaware that the sight of them talking in front of zombies had terrified Lou Han and the others.
Lou Han also noticed something amiss at this moment, "Didn't you all notice that these zombies are being controlled?"
Everyone then realized what was happening, followed by shock and worry.
"Captain, the owner of this inn seems to be incredibly powerful. What should we do?"
"Let's go check out the inn first."
Meng Qiu watched the group discuss entering the inn with a calm expression.
He seemed like an outsider throughout the journey, never participating in their conversations, and they clearly didn't consider him one of their own.
This is for the best; it only strengthens his resolve to leave.
Upon seeing the inn, Meng Qiu's inner turmoil was not as calm as it appeared. The fact that someone could survive a horde of zombies unscathed meant their strength was far beyond what most people imagined.
Lou Han and his group still wanted to take advantage of the inn; it was utterly ridiculous.
If he can get the innkeeper's protection, will he be able to leave safely?
As Meng Qiu pondered this, she followed the group into the inn, only to be stunned by the sight before her.
In the clean lobby, several people dressed neatly were talking, smiling, and holding daily necessities in their hands.
Lou Han's pupils contracted slightly when he saw their clothes and the supplies in their hands. He finally realized what was wrong with the people he had met earlier.
It's about clothing and mental state!
In the apocalypse, almost everyone was covered in dust and dirt. Even he, as a member of the upper class, hadn't worn clean clothes in a long time, but these ordinary people were dressed so cleanly and neatly.
Compared to these people, they seemed like refugees.
Thinking of this, Lou Han almost lost face.
What gives ordinary people the right to do this?
Like many powerful superhumans, Lou Han sees the lives of ordinary people as insignificant as ants.
