Chapter 269 Large Camping Site
Just as the three were chatting and laughing, Lu Yunting and his three companions returned, covered in filth, and a foul stench wafted towards them.
The memories of last night, which had been lost, instantly flooded back into Gu Xinyan and Yan Xiyun's memories, making them both feel disgusted and involuntarily take a step back.
Seeing the two's disgusted expressions, Lu Yunting and the other three exchanged glances, all finding it amusing. However, to be honest, they were actually quite disgusted with each other at that moment.
"Where have you been killing zombies? Go wash up, you're making us faint from the stench!" Gu Xinyan said in a muffled voice, covering her nose.
Yan Xiyun, standing to the side, nodded in agreement. The four of them looked around and realized they must have been fighting in some zombie horde. Otherwise, if they had only killed one or two zombies, they wouldn't be in such a state of disarray.
Their hair was covered in dark bloodstains, and they reeked of the stench unique to zombies. Not only the two of them, but even Han Xiao unconsciously took a small step back.
They kill zombies either through superpowers or by directly targeting the crystal core in the zombie's brain. Except for the very beginning of the apocalypse, they brutally chop off heads.
Later, due to water scarcity, they changed their method of watering. Otherwise, with that crude method, no amount of water would be enough for their daily cleaning.
Therefore, we can only minimize the pollution, which can also save a lot of water resources.
So seeing these people like this was quite amusing, and the four people, including Lu Yunting, who were being looked down upon, consciously didn't approach them, replying from a distance:
"We flew to a place a few kilometers away. There were quite a few zombies there, so we had a good time killing them. However, the zombies weren't very high level; their crystal cores were only level one or two. There are still quite a few zombies there. We'll go again tomorrow!"
Hearing Zhang Junyang's words, Gu Xinyan smiled and said:
"Oh? Really? Tomorrow we're going to hunt mutated beasts with Han Xiao. If you're not going, then I'll go with Sister Yan!"
"Huh? A mutated beast? Go away! This zombie won't run away, we'll kill it next time. We'll kill the mutated beast tomorrow!"
Zhang Junyang, who had originally planned to kill zombies again tomorrow, immediately changed his mind upon hearing this. A mutated beast! He hadn't even seen one yet, so he definitely had to go and "favor" it.
“Yes, yes, yes! We should go hunt mutated beasts too!” Li Chendong quickly chimed in.
The two of them looked so flustered that everyone present couldn't help but chuckle.
Although Lu Yunting and Gu Xinya didn't speak, it was clear from their eyes that they were equally looking forward to tomorrow's hunt for the mutated beasts.
"Haha, alright, you guys go upstairs and wash up, you stink! We'll go cook first, and we can start eating soon after you come down!"
After Gu Xinyan finished speaking, she turned to Han Xiao, who was standing to the side, and invited him:
"Han Xiao, why don't you stay and eat with us later? You can try our cooking!"
Upon hearing this, Han Xiao was pleasantly surprised. She had originally planned to leave when she heard that they were going to cook, but she didn't expect them to invite her to eat with them. Her mouth watered instantly, and she nodded with a smile in agreement.
So, the four of them, who were being looked down upon, obediently went upstairs to wash up. Han Xiao was also embarrassed to just stand there and watch, so she followed them to the kitchen to help.
As time went by, the aroma wafted from the kitchen, and gradually, the entire store was enveloped in the rich fragrance of food.
This drew the attention of shoppers and a group of people chatting at the shop entrance to the kitchen.
"It smells so good! I could eat several bowls of rice with this aroma!"
"You don't even have a bowl of rice, yet you want to show off several big bowls? Dream on! You can have anything in your dreams!"
"Hahaha, that makes sense! Who's the best cook among you? Let's team up and have a meal together!"
Upon hearing this, there was a momentary pause in the room, followed by several people raising their hands and starting to promote themselves.
"Me, me, me, I'm actually a pretty good cook. I was a chef before the apocalypse, although I haven't tossed a wok in so long."
But what's etched in my mind is still there; I haven't forgotten it. But I've made a deal: you provide the ingredients, and I'll cook! How about it?
"Hey! Me too. I can cook some simple home-style dishes. How about it? Want to team up with me?"
"My cooking skills are pretty good too. I just graduated from a culinary academy on JD.com before the apocalypse, so trust me, you definitely won't go wrong teaming up with me!"
You don't know until you explode, and once you do, you never expected there to be so many talented people. The group that was just sitting and chatting before suddenly seemed to have found something to do.
They had just finished a bowl of instant noodles, which wasn't enough to satisfy them. If they hadn't smelled the aroma, it wouldn't have mattered. But the moment the domineering aroma wafted out, it instantly made everyone present excited.
After forming their teams and obtaining Gu Xinyan's consent, they requisitioned the dozen or so long tables outside and began preparations in a flurry.
In an instant, the area in front of the store transformed into a large picnic site, with everyone smiling and busy with their assigned tasks, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
After Lu Yunting and the other three came down from the shower, this was the scene that greeted them, leaving them all somewhat bewildered.
What's going on? How come the area downstairs has changed so much in the time it takes them to take a shower? If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a campsite in a tourist area.
"They smelled the aroma of our food and got so enticed that they all started cooking together! And you know what, it really does smell like a picnic!" Gu Xinyan explained to the group with a smile, holding up a plate of food.
Upon hearing this explanation, Lu Yunting and the others suddenly realized that these people were actually being tempted!
That explains it. After exchanging smiles, the group hurried off to the kitchen to help.
This lively scene also attracted Han Cheng, who was busy inside the base.
As a result, the group of people eating grew larger and larger, not only Gu Xinyan's small group, but also the small groups outside.
After a busy period, we were finally able to enjoy a delicious dinner.
However, since a few more people had just joined, Gu Xinyan set up a large table at the entrance of the store, where a dozen or so people could sit down.
It wasn't just their table; rows and rows of tables were neatly arranged all the way to the entrance of the base, basically filling the entire open space.
The air was filled with the rich aroma of food, making one's mouth water. There was a wide variety of food available on site, including stir-fries, hot pot, and various local snacks.
