Chapter 20 Mobile Fruit Station.
Even now, Zhuang Mingde doesn't think he was wrong. He thinks he was just tired and took a nap. Who knew this person would be so difficult to deal with and disappear in an instant?
No matter how unwilling he was, he was still afraid. Because if anything happened to Mo Qi, Mo Xiu would definitely not let him off the hook.
Thinking about Xi Wenlin's fate, Zhuang Mingde truly felt a lingering fear.
When he saw Mo Xiu return with Mo Qi, he immediately went to greet her in a somewhat ingratiating manner. However, the other party completely ignored him and simply led Mo Qi to sit down by the campfire.
Behind them followed a limping punk.
"Brother Mo, Brother Qi, it's almost time to eat. The chicken will be even better if it stews for a little longer. Would you like some soup to warm yourselves up?" Lu Pingwan walked over and asked gently.
Mo Xiu nodded, took the soup bowl from the other party, and fed Mo Qi with a spoon.
Seeing them eating, the little girl also consciously took her own small bowl and happily drank her soup.
Anyway, it's been like this for a while now. As long as she takes the initiative to do more work, she can eat some of the food.
Cheng Cheng, who was not far away, also moved over step by step, staring at the pot that was bubbling and steaming, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
He opened his mouth, wanting to ask if he could also have some hot soup, but then thought that one shouldn't be so shameless.
He was rescued, and not only could he not offer any reward, but if he still had to mooch food from others, how could he possibly become the strongest king in the apocalypse?
Cheng Cheng sat on the side, watching with longing, too embarrassed to say a word.
Fortunately, Mo Xiu noticed his predicament, mainly because the sound coming from his stomach was so loud that it was hard for them not to notice it.
Seeing this, Cheng Cheng touched his stomach and smiled somewhat awkwardly. Mo Xiu then gestured to Lu Pingwan. The young girl immediately and very perceptively ladled out a bowl of soup with meat for him.
"Thank you, thank you!" Cheng Cheng thanked him repeatedly. He took a sip of the hot meat soup and ate a large piece of chicken. Tears almost welled up in his eyes again.
Seeing the boy's appearance, Mo Xiu's eyes twitched.
How come this future plant-based superpower master is still a crybaby?
Mo Xiu caught two rabbits and a pheasant, both of which were quite plump. It's probably because there are fewer and fewer people around here, and no one is bothering them, so they've grown even better.
After the rabbit was roasted, Mo Xiu began to divide the meat. The best seats were naturally for him and Mo Qi, but Lu Pingwan and Cheng Cheng also got some meat.
Cheng Cheng, being a newcomer, was only given a roasted rabbit head and a carcass with the meat removed. However, he was quite content with this; he hadn't expected the rabbit to be so fragrant just from being rubbed with salt, which was much better than his meals the previous two days.
After eating some rabbit meat and drinking a bowl of soup, Cheng Cheng regained some strength and even voluntarily sprouted two small potatoes, which he then cut into small pieces and threw into the pot to cook together.
Seeing that the soup was cooked well, Mo Xiu brought over some noodles and put them into the pot to make noodle soup.
The aroma of the meat was irresistible, and everyone else in the group was incredibly tempted. But all of them, including Zhuang Mingde, could only smell it.
Mo Qi was extremely satisfied with the meal. He subconsciously patted his round belly and thought it would be even better if he could eat like this for several days in a row.
Seeing this, Mo Xiu went over and rubbed his stomach. While rubbing, she said with a smile, "If you like to eat, I'll go hunt more game next time I have the chance."
Hearing this, Mo Qi was moved.
What kind of divine meal ticket is this! If he didn't know that he was a demonic cultivator in his past life, he would have suspected that he had accumulated great merit. Otherwise, how could he be so lucky as to have this person come to him and pick him up?
Seeing that the two older brothers had stopped eating, Cheng Cheng then stared intently at the remaining soup and noodles in the pot.
They exchanged a glance with Lu Pingwan across from them, and the two of them tacitly divided the remaining food in half and ate it all.
The four of them ate all the roasted rabbits and the food in the pot.
Lu Pingwan did all the cleaning and washing of the pots and pans afterwards. Cheng Cheng stood there scratching his head, feeling somewhat helpless.
He wanted to lend a hand and help carry things, but his leg was injured, and he didn't know what kind of work he should do.
Seeing his anxious expression, the young girl gently comforted him, "It's alright, you're still injured. I'll take care of these small things."
Cheng Cheng then nodded, blushing.
His gaze swept around the camp. He saw that there were quite a few people in the group, but when they were eating, none of them dared to come over and cause trouble. He understood what was going on.
The two I encountered were definitely the ringleaders!
Realizing this, Cheng Cheng became even more determined to follow the two of them.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, seeing that it was getting late, Mo Xiu took Mo Qi back to the SUV. But as soon as they got into the car, they heard a noise behind them.
Turning around, they saw that Cheng Cheng was still with them.
Thinking that this person had just joined the team and indeed needed to be settled, he pointed to Lu Pingwan, who was not far away, and said, "You follow her."
After saying that, Mo Xiu took out two cans of luncheon meat from the car and asked him to deliver them to Lu Pingwan. He also tossed him a box of wound medicine before closing the car door.
Now, only Mo Xiu and Mo Qi were left in the SUV.
Mo Xiu reclined the chair so the person next to her could lie down comfortably, and even covered them with a blanket. She then lay down next to the man and quietly stared at Mo Qi's face.
"What's wrong? Can't you sleep?" Mo Qi turned to look at Mo Xiu and asked.
Mo Xiu hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then took the hand of the person beside her and whispered, "Next time, don't make me worry again, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Qi realized that it was indeed inappropriate for him to walk into the depths of the forest without saying a word today.
He's been alone for so many years, he's gotten used to it.
Although he'd been spending time with Mo Xiu these past few days, he hadn't taken the initiative to inform others before doing anything. This had worried those around him, which was wrong of him.
"I'm sorry, I will definitely let you know in advance if anything happens in the future."
Mo Qi doesn't have the habit of making excuses for himself. If he's wrong, he admits it, apologizes, learns from it, and remembers to change next time. Most importantly, Mo Xiu deserves to be cared for.
As he spoke, the man grabbed Mo Xiu's hand. These days, he always held her while cultivating at night, and he had gotten used to it.
It's not convenient to hug each other while sleeping in the car today, but holding hands is still nice.
Mo Xiu was used to having her hand held, and when she heard that the other person had realized her problem so easily, she nodded and didn't continue.
He naturally tucked the blanket around Mo Qi before closing his eyes with the person next to him.
When I woke up the next day, breakfast was already prepared.
Cheng Cheng seems to be recovering quite well. He even sprouted some cabbage and potatoes this morning and threw them into the pot to cook.
Lu Pingwan was all smiles because she received two boxes of luncheon meat yesterday. This morning, she took out some of her own noodles to help prepare breakfast.
The cabbage and potato noodles were cooked quickly, and this fragrant hot dish was a good breakfast for them.
Cheng Cheng's sleeping place last night was found for him by Lu Pingwan. To express his gratitude, he specially encouraged the birth of a few more small fruits this morning to give to her.
However, after a busy morning, his superpowers were completely depleted.
A few days later, Cheng Cheng's leg injury was completely healed.
He had sprained his ankle while running away, and young people recover quickly, especially those with superpowers. He diligently rubbed it with ointment every day, and within two days he was bouncing around again.
Moreover, after his injuries healed, he immediately followed Mo Qi around like a puppy, calling him "boss" every day, wishing he could take over all the chores.
This left the team members somewhat confused. Even if they wanted to curry favor, shouldn't the target be Mo Xiu?
Could it be that this punk rocker isn't smart either?
However, they soon realized that something was wrong.
Ever since Zhuang Mingde failed to perform his duties diligently, he has fallen out of favor. Cheng Cheng, however, has taken over Zhuang Mingde's original position by currying favor with Mo Qi.
Despite being a seemingly dim-witted punk, he managed to rise to the top through his fierce competition and scrambling!
Seeing this, Zhuang Mingde was furious, but no matter how resentful he felt, there was nothing he could do. He could only secretly regret that he would never have been so negligent.
He hadn't thought much of the benefits he received from Mo Xiu, but now, seeing others enjoying the good life on his behalf, he felt incredibly resentful.
But no matter how much he craved it, he didn't have any special abilities, and his physical strength wasn't the best in the team, so he could only watch.
Two more days passed, and they finally arrived at a relatively large town.
The first thing Mo Xiu did was take her people to a comprehensive supermarket.
In addition to collecting supplies, they also focused on finding seeds of various vegetables and fruits to give to Cheng Cheng.
After all, the girl was gone by the second day, and the rest of the days consisted of nothing but cabbage and potatoes.
Although leaving one potato and cutting it into smaller pieces can produce countless potatoes, eating the same thing every day can be quite monotonous.
Fortunately, they managed to search the supermarket and take care of more than a dozen zombies, so their efforts weren't in vain. The areas where flower seeds and waste were stored remained almost untouched.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Cheng excitedly ran over and gathered up all the edible seeds.
Upon seeing strawberry seeds, they immediately sprouted more than a dozen and distributed them to Mo Xiu, Mo Qi, and Lu Pingwan.
Mo Xiu never expected that she would be eating big, sweet, fresh strawberries so soon in the apocalypse.
Mo Qi, who was standing next to him, tasted the strawberry and squinted his eyes in satisfaction, deeply feeling that keeping this rainbow-haired person was definitely the right decision!
