Chapter 297 is about showing off (plus 39)
Inside the two-story building, everything was quiet; even the pigs were sleeping.
It wasn't until after 2 p.m. that the people in the building gradually woke up.
Ling Ran yawned and walked out of the house.
Uncle Chen and the others were already awake and were preparing something in the kitchen. When they saw Ling Ran come down, Liu Xiuping quickly went up to her and asked, "Is the master hungry?"
"Hmm, what's for dinner today?"
As Ling Ran spoke, she went out to look at the sky again. The sun was still shining brightly, and waves of heat were coming one after another.
The pickup truck was parked outside, its cab covered with a car cover, and watermelon seedlings planted on the cargo bed, which were now somewhat wilted.
"I made bone broth, and for the dishes, there's spicy chicken, stir-fried pork belly with dried bamboo shoots, and hot and sour cabbage. For sweet soup, there's sweet potato soup and eight-treasure porridge, all of which are chilled."
Ling Ran listened and said, "Let's have a bowl of sweet potato soup first, and then eat."
"Yes, sir."
When Uncle Chen brought out the dishes, the others woke up one after another, and everyone sat down at the table to prepare for lunch.
Pei Xiu then carried the still-sleepy Zhou Hang to water his watermelon seedlings and durian trees.
"How's it going outside?" Ling Ran asked, looking at Gu Zijing who had sat down.
In the morning, he and Pei Yi and a few others went to take a look at the entrance of the base.
"When I went to check, they were all cleaning up the zombies, so it seemed like everything was alright."
Ling Ran nodded, took the sweet potato soup that Uncle Chen brought, took a sip, and found it to be icy cold with the aroma of sweet potatoes.
Pei Xiu also ladled out a bowl of sweet potato soup and sat down next to Ling Ran: "I didn't expect this zombie horde to be so terrifying. If my sister hadn't happened to be passing by, this Hope Base would have been finished."
"Not necessarily," Gu Zijing replied.
“Given yesterday’s situation, without my sister, wouldn’t this base have fallen?” Pei Xiu didn’t believe it: “Zhou Chong and Yan Songbai are probably regretting it to death.”
“Without me, the base would probably be fine, but it would definitely suffer heavy losses.” Ling Ran finished her sweet potato soup and ate some white rice instead. “Didn’t you see the rocket launchers and mortars they took out yesterday? I reckon they even have tanks.”
With so many firearms in Chongzhou this week, it must be because an armory has been confiscated. Otherwise, guns would be one thing, but rocket launchers and mortars are definitely not something an ordinary police station would have.
"But those weapons are so powerful, the noise will be deafening, and it will definitely attract other zombies in Qingcheng."
"That's why I said they would suffer heavy losses."
"snort."
Pei Xiu gave a haughty snort.
He just didn't believe it; he felt that if it weren't for his sister yesterday, this Hope Base would definitely be gone.
And then there's Zhou Chong. He saw how formidable his sister was yesterday. If he's smart enough, he should know his place and realize he's not good enough for her.
Pei Xiu disliked Zhou Chong and his Hope Base very much.
"By the way, sis, we traded chickens with Hope Base. Are we still going up the mountain then?"
We had previously said we didn't have any chickens, and we were thinking of catching some wild pheasants if we went to the mountainous province. Unexpectedly, the Hope Base had them, and we even managed to exchange quite a few.
Pei Xiu bit his chopsticks: "Yesterday I went out and heard people from the base say that there is a mountain about two kilometers away from the Hope Base, but the trees inside have all mutated, and it's terrifying."
Gu Zijing saw right through Pei Xiu's thoughts: "I think you want to go up the mountain not to catch pheasants, but to show off, right?"
He is a wood-type ability user, and there are many trees on the mountain, so this is his home turf.
Pei Xiu firmly denied it: "No way, I just think wild pheasants have a unique flavor. Sis, shall we go?"
