Chapter 90 Hidden Intentions
They kept clearing the road until almost noon, but still hadn't reached a service area, so the group decided to cook and eat outdoors.
I set up two big pots; I planned to have snail rice noodles for lunch.
With Pei Yi and his group around, Ling Ran was finally freed from having to fetch things, provide water, and light a fire.
The pot quickly boiled, and Liu Xiuping added small packets of seasoning, which soon spread the aroma everywhere.
Everyone was focused on the pot, and no one was paying attention to anything else.
When the rice noodles were soft and tender, Liu Xiuping added a handful of water spinach that Pei Yi and the others had exchanged with points. After blanching it briefly, she said, "Young Master Pei, you don't need to heat it anymore."
Pei Yi immediately withdrew his supernatural power.
As for how Liu Xiuping addressed him, he tried to correct her, but to no avail.
"It's ready to eat."
Liu Xiuping said something, took out a large bowl, first filled Ling Ran's bowl with plenty of ingredients for snail rice noodles, handed it to her, and then asked, "Would you like two poached eggs, sir?"
"Can."
Liu Xiuping quickly took out the pan and fried two eggs for Ling Ran. As for the others, they were too embarrassed to ask for any.
The fried egg is soaked in the broth. Take a bite and the spicy flavor mixes with the eggy aroma and the perfectly cooked yolk. It's so satisfying.
The others also enjoyed their meal.
After the apocalypse, the various technologies and survival tools that were looked down upon before the apocalypse have become the most luxurious things.
As Su Yimo ate her snail rice noodles, she couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.
She's only been with Ling Ran for a short time, and she's already gained two pounds. This life is really good, really comfortable.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Ling Ran was about to finish eating, so she quickly put down her chopsticks and bowl and said, "My lady, let me serve you some more."
She now calls Ling Ran "Lord Ling" just like Liu Xiuping does.
After finishing the soup in her bowl, Ling Ran handed the bowl to Su Yimo. Su Yimo took the bowl and then handed Ling Ran a tissue.
Liu Xiuping, who was watching this scene from the sidelines, was speechless.
You, Su Yimo, look so delicate and sweet, but you harbored malicious intentions and dared to steal my job!
The two large iron pots of snail rice noodles were completely devoured. Ling Ran took out a Coke, chilled it with her supernatural ability, and then took a sip of this "happy fat otaku water."
The crowd let out a satisfied sigh.
Fortunately, they were shameless and successfully competed for the positions.
Otherwise, where would we find such comfort now?
Just then, the sound of a car approaching came from afar. Everyone quickly looked towards the source of the sound; the car was coming from the direction they had come from.
Two camouflaged military jeeps were parked in the lead vehicle. Half of a person was sticking out of the roof of the lead jeep, holding a submachine gun.
Upon seeing Ling Ran and the others from afar, the person in the passenger seat immediately leaned out of the car window and started looking through binoculars.
Shen Nianshen quickly put away all the pots and pans, and even the trash such as the snail rice noodle bags.
However, he was too late to collect them. The person with the binoculars had already seen a large pile of snail rice noodle bags, as well as sugary drinks. Most importantly, Ling Ran was also holding a bag of beef jerky.
Inside the car.
The man in the passenger seat put down his binoculars and glanced at the rearview mirror: "Brother Tong, there are nine people ahead, three women and six men. They have plenty of supplies, and there are space ability users, fire ability users, and water ability users. Also, one of their vehicles is a military pickup truck."
He saw the space-type ability user, but the fire and water-type abilities were just guesses.
However, spatial and water-based abilities are standard features of a powerful team. Without a spatial ability user, storing supplies is too inconvenient, since supplies are easily seen and targeted.
