Chapter 266: Tasting the Food at L Base
"Open the door and let K...Michael in."
Zhao Yunduo waved his hand, ignoring Kong Liang's anxious look, and asked the people downstairs to open the door directly.
"Lord, I'm afraid he has evil intentions. After all, no one has ever seen him take action. Even Sister Tao, who has met him before, doesn't know his background..."
"It's OK."
As early as when Mike suggested using the system to exchange for cement, Zhao Yunduo was no longer afraid of him.
Their systems are different. Zhao Yunduo has a close friend who delivers supplies to him in the highly developed modern world, so he has no shortage of food, clothing, or daily necessities.
Mike definitely didn't have space before the end of the world. Even if he had the system's advance warning and knew to store supplies, he couldn't save much. Even if ordinary people took the risk and raised hundreds of thousands of yuan through borrowing or online loans, they would not be able to buy much because they had to choose a place to stay and buy daily necessities.
Even if it was enough for Mike to squander it freely in the past five years, it certainly wouldn't be enough to support him to maintain three or four bases.
Therefore, it is impossible for Mike to use his points to buy bombs like Zhao Yunduo did.
"You bring someone to watch here. Mike came here alone. I'm afraid he might have a trick up his sleeve."
Zhao Yunduo said this and walked down the stands. Kong Liang nodded behind him and said, "Don't worry, Lord!"
Mike was taken to the reception room and Zhou Micheng poured him a cup of hot tea.
“Good tea.”
Mike took a sip and really liked it, so he finished the tea in another gulp.
When Zhao Yunduo came in, Mike was admiring Zhao Yunduo's collection, the landscape paintings on the wall, the white jade rabbit ornaments on the table. When he saw Zhao Yunduo, he said, "Lord Zhao is living a real life. He can be so comfortable in the end times. He is comparable to the emperors of ancient times, right?"
"Emperor? What's so good about being an emperor?"
Zhao Yunduo poured tea for himself and Mike again. "I'm quite curious, why do they all call you Mr. K?"
Mike returned to his seat and told Zhao Yunduo: "I don't know. At first, they called me Brother Mike, but later on, I don't know how the word got around and they started to make me sound older and older."
"What a great tea! Did you grow it yourself or did you redeem it from the system?"
Mike seemed eager to know what Zhao Yunduo had exchanged with the system, and kept asking Zhao Yunduo. However, after asking twice, he felt that he was being too deliberate, so he changed the subject and asked another question that had nothing to do with the itching:
"I heard from the system that you have cleaned up the water pollution?"
Zhao Yunduo said: "Yes, the water we drink now is the water dug from the bottom of the well."
"I have never drunk water from the apocalypse. When I was stockpiling water, I specifically picked mineral water with an earlier production date. Later, when I exchanged it with the system, I didn't even dare to touch the water and food produced one or two years before the zombie outbreak."
Zhao Yunduo smiled and said, "Better safe than sorry."
"I do think so, so over the years, I have entrusted the tasks assigned to me by the system to other bases. After all, there is no antidote for the zombie virus. If I get bitten, it will be a loss."
As Mike spoke, he sighed again, "I didn't expect that after all my precautions against the zombies, I was faced with a mission executor like me."
"You are still smart, Miss Yun Duo. I should learn from you and raise a group of people myself. I will feed and drink them like dogs in normal times, and they will work hard for you at critical moments."
As Mike spoke, his eyes also looked at Zhou Micheng who was sitting behind them.
The sarcasm was obvious, but Zhou Micheng was not angered by the words "raising dogs", because Zhao Yunduo's raising them was different from raising dogs. Who raises dogs and provides them with food, water and shelter, and doesn't need them to amuse and relieve boredom?
Also, Zhao Yunduo never thought of asking them to sacrifice their lives. Sometimes, they even wanted to sacrifice their lives for Zhao Yunduo, but Zhao Yunduo refused to let them go.
The most important thing is that Zhao Yunduo often saves them from danger.
This is a friend, not a master.
"Well," Zhao Yunduo finally spoke, "I hope Mr. Mike can learn from the lessons of this life and do the same thing in his next life."
Mike didn't expect Zhao Yunduo to be so direct. He didn't even say polite words to him. His face darkened and he looked at Zhao Yunduo sternly, "So you knew that those who failed the mission would be erased by the system!?"
Zhao Yunduo shook his head honestly, "No, I just found out about it not long ago."
"It seems your system knows everything about you."
"Mr. Mike's system is not bad either. I also told you that my name is Zhao Yunduo." Zhao Yunduo took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and asked Mike, "I still have a lot of good wine here. Do you want to taste it before you leave, Mr. Mike?"
"Okay." He stood up. "Where is the restaurant?"
L Base has a public cafeteria. Liang Tuantuan is the head chef, and he has three "little brothers" who can cook. They prepare meals on time three times a day, and the residents of L Base can order dishes with currency. If people from other bases have L Base's currency, they can also eat in the base, but the cost will be a little more expensive than for people from this base.
Zhao Yunduo brought everyone to the cafeteria of the base. It was lunchtime at that time and more than a dozen people were queuing up for food. When they saw Zhao Yunduo, they turned around and greeted her:
"Good afternoon, lord."
"Are you coming to eat too?"
"Lord, please take my place, I will get in line again..."
"Go, go, Lord, why are you still waiting in line? Go get your meal first."
Zhao Yunduo nodded to everyone and apologized, "I won't queue today. I've brought a guest."
No one had any objection and gave the seat to Zhao Yunduo.
Zhao Yunduo took two plates and handed one to Mike.
Liang Tuantuan was holding a bowl in the food serving area, supervising the canteen staff to serve food while tasting the food to see how it was cooked. When he saw Zhao Yunduo coming in, his eyes lit up.
"Sister Duo! I haven't seen you in the cafeteria for a long time. What would you like to eat today? If there is nothing that suits your taste, I will make it for you on the spot."
"No need."
Zhao Yunduo waved her hands and raised her chin towards Mike's position. "We have guests today. Bring them to taste the food at L Base."
She didn't say that the person was Mr. K, for fear of causing panic among others.
"That's great!" Liang Tuantuan enthusiastically introduced today's special dishes to Mike. Zhao Yunduo randomly ordered a few dishes and then picked a seat to sit down.
While waiting for Mike to serve his meal, Zhao Yunduo took out two wine glasses from the space, as well as a bottle of Maowang liquor, which was very popular before the end of the world.
She was not used to drinking this liquor at first, but later, when she had more opportunities to fight outside, she would sometimes drink a little, either to refresh herself, to keep warm, or to boost her courage. Later, she got to know the flavor of this liquor.
