Chapter 39 This Xiaolongbao is so delicious

After being greedy for the whole morning, Zhao Yunduo finally got to eat the steamed buns as she wished. These were freshly made and hot. She ate them one by one and was very satisfied.

But Yaoyao and Zhou Micheng didn't know that these were freshly packed, and they thought that Zhao Yunduo had put them into the space before the end of the world. They kept praising Zhao Yunduo for his foresight and said that the things he stored were delicious.

There were eight stacks of small steamed buns on the table, with five in each stack.

Aunt Liu on the other side of the world was steaming steamed buns while sighing, "Miss Linglan has such a big appetite. She said in the morning she wanted to lose weight, but now she ate three servings of buns in one go."

"Aunt Liu, is there anything else~"

While she was thinking about it, she didn't expect that Shen Linglan had finished eating again and was still urging her to eat more.

"Hey! Now!"

Is this what it means to lose weight by eating until you are full? Aunt Liu shook her head, saying that she did not understand the world of young people. But the amazing thing is that her daughter Linglan eats so many buns every day, but she does not gain any weight at all. It is really amazing.

Little did she know that all the empty stacks of steamed buns at Shen Linglan's place were eaten by Zhao Yunduo.

"Mom, Yaoyao feels so happy."

Yaoyao chewed and swallowed a small bun, buried herself in Zhou Micheng's arms, with a light in her eyes that only children can have.

“Mom thinks so too.”

Although Zhou Micheng no longer cared about whether food was delicious or not after the apocalypse, she had even eaten tree bark as long as she could fill her stomach and not die of hunger. Occasionally, when she could find supplies, she would cook some rice or noodles. Even if there was no salt or seasoning, she would still feel that the plain soup was very precious.

Especially when it comes to such delicious steamed buns.

She swore that she had never eaten such delicious steamed buns even before the end of the world.

Zhao Yunduo took out another layer of steamed buns. She picked one up and put it in her mouth with a smile. In her heart, she couldn't help praising Lan Baoer, saying that Aunt Liu's cooking skills were really great and the steamed buns were truly a delicacy.

Before I finished my first meal, I heard a conversation downstairs.

"What's that smell? It smells so good. Am I hungry?"

"Oh my god, it smells so good. I have never smelled anything so good in my life."

"What does that smell like...wait."

There were actually three different voices, and they were all male.

Zhao Yunduo secretly thought that something was wrong. After exchanging glances with Zhou Micheng, Zhao Yunduo quickly put all the steamer baskets back into the space. She sent all the empty steamers back to Shen Linglan's home, along with a text message: [Danger, don't send them yet.]

If someone downstairs suddenly came up and a pile of steamed buns appeared on the table out of nowhere, Zhao Yunduo could feel that she would be grabbed immediately and would have to give free food to others endlessly.

Here, the noises from downstairs grew closer, and the footsteps stopped abruptly beneath them.

"Brother Wu, it seems like the smell is coming down from upstairs."

"Is there anyone upstairs?"

“It seems so.”

"Let's go and take a look."

Zhao Yunduo and Zhou Micheng, who heard their conversation clearly, grabbed their weapons instantly. Zhao Yunduo also carefully checked the hidden arrow on his left wrist and calmly placed it on the table, facing the glass door of the milk tea shop, as if he was ready to fight at any time.

Soon, a sound of footsteps came from the house, followed by the sound of stepping on a wooden ladder, and then Zhao Yunduo saw a group of people appear in the milk tea shop - that is, on the other side of the glass door.

There were six people, five men and one woman. The leader had a machine gun on his shoulder, while the others were armed with ordinary kitchen knives or long swords.

The strange thing is that one of the six people was wearing a white coat and glasses, and looked like an intellectual. He didn't have any weapons in his hands, and seemed to be someone being protected by everyone.

These six people were completely different from the ones they had met before. At least in terms of temperament, these people did not seem like bad people.

Probably because he saw that there were only three of them, all women.

The man in the white coat walked out of the crowd. He looked to be about fifty years old. He pushed his glasses first, and then spoke to Zhao Yunduo and others, "Hello, we are from the Z City Base, and we have no ill intentions towards humans."

After saying that, the man in the white coat asked the man holding the gun next to him to put it down. He winked at the only woman in the team and asked her to open the glass door and negotiate with the person on the windowsill.

The woman was wearing a tight T-shirt and trousers. She had a rather cool demeanor, and her face and clothes were clean. She really looked like she came from some organization.

While Zhao Yunduo and Zhou Micheng were looking at them, the man in the white coat and others were also looking at them.

There was a distinct smell of meat downstairs, but now it seemed that these people had no food in front of them. There was nothing else on the entire windowsill except the three of them and three backpacks.

Being too clean can seem strange.

After the door opened, Zhao Yunduo held the mace tighter in her right hand, and her eyes became more alert. "What do you want to do?"

“We have no ill intentions.”

The man in the white coat raised his hand, and the expression on his face looked very kind, but in this doomsday, can a kind person still live to this day?

Zhou Micheng held Yaoyao with his left hand and asked her to hide behind him. He grabbed the steel stick with his right hand and pointed it in their direction to stop them from moving forward. "Just stand there."

The man in the white coat and the woman who opened the door stopped obediently, but the man with the gun had a look of vigilance.

"We are here to collect samples. I'm sure you have all seen the vegetation outside the shopping mall next door?"

Hearing that their target was the vegetation that chased them here, Zhao Yunduo was very familiar with it and nodded.

"We've heard that it's getting bigger and bigger and has started eating zombies, so we wanted to get to know its situation with you first."

"It not only eats zombies, it now even eats humans," said Zhao Yunduo.

Hearing this, the man in the white coat looked a little more serious. "When did it happen? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

The expression on his face couldn't be faked, and the white coat he wore, which was the work uniform worn by doctors and nurses before the apocalypse, somehow gave people a sense of trust.

Zhao Yunduo thought about it and didn't mind sharing the information he already knew with them, so he said, "We didn't see it eat it with our own eyes, so we inferred it."

The man in the white coat took out a notebook from his pocket and wrote something down carefully.

"Have you ever come face to face with it? Other than that, what are its special features?"

He wanted to ask something else, but Zhao Yunduo said, "That's all we know. Just walk two blocks in that direction and you'll see it."

Zhao Yunduo's words were not polite. Although the man with the gun was dissatisfied, the man in the white coat was satisfied, at least they knew more about the plant.

"Thank you."

The man in the white coat was about to leave with his group. As he was about to leave, the two boys who were originally at the end of the team suddenly turned around and looked at Zhao Yunduo twice.

They all paused at the same time. Zhou Micheng thought they were trying to rob or had some plan, so he raised a steel bar and pointed it at one of them's neck.

"What!?"

After a cold question, the taller guy with a crew cut raised his hand innocently, "Were you guys eating some kind of self-heating rice just now? We have two boxes of instant noodles, ham sausage, and compressed biscuits. Can I exchange some with you?"

“…”

Zhao Yunduo didn't expect that this was what the two boys wanted to ask, so she shook her head and said no.

"Aliang!"

The people downstairs urged the guy with the buzz cut to come, and the guy pouted in disappointment, "Okay."

After saying that, the two of them went downstairs and caught up with the team.

When they walked away, the man with the gun suddenly asked the boy with the buzz cut, "Ah Liang, what did you ask?"

The guy with the buzz cut touched his head and said, "No, they didn't tell me what to eat, and they didn't want to change with me."

The man and the man in the white coat looked at each other and said nothing more.
