They were very satisfied and even more grateful to the Ning family for bringing them safely to the base. Moreover, the large quantity of sweet potatoes they had collected along the way was enough to ensure they wouldn't go hungry.
They thanked them repeatedly and then took their leave.
Ning's father did not try to persuade them to stay, nor did he invite them to eat.
As a person with a conscience, Ning's father couldn't bear to watch them all die in the apocalypse, so he brought them all the way to the base and was willing to spare some energy to take care of them.
But more than that, Ning's father turned around and looked at the group of young men and women standing together smiling, then shook his head with a smile.
He could certainly take in these two families, and even support them so they wouldn't go hungry or face financial hardship. He was also confident that Shen Wangshu wouldn't object to his request.
But doing this would put his conscience at ease, but how unfair is it to the children struggling to survive in the apocalypse?
The two elderly people lived a safe and peaceful life without any troubles, and they didn't have to worry about life or food, just like before the apocalypse. But all of this was achieved through the sacrifices of their children.
Ah Xuan has turned into a zombie, and Nan Lan is desperately searching for them, traversing several cities. Their daughter has lost her lover, and Ah Tu and Ah Guang, who were originally unrelated to them, have been diligently protecting them along the way. They've already burdened the children enough; how could they add to their burden now?
Moreover, this base is very formal; it doesn't mean people have no way to survive.
Not only do people with superpowers have jobs, but ordinary people, as long as they are hardworking and diligent, have plenty of work to support themselves.
Seemingly sensing Ning's father's gaze, Shen Wangshu subconsciously turned his head and gave Ning's father a big smile.
Mr. Ning looked at his daughter with affection and exchanged a glance with Mrs. Ning.
The children can work hard in the front, and the elderly couple shouldn't cause trouble or make the children worry.
They had the hottest meal they'd had in days.
When Nan Lan was cleaning out the city supermarkets, she collected a lot of canned goods; these days, canned goods are the only ones that don't spoil quickly. Knowing that Shen Wangshu had a lot of supplies in his spatial storage, she only took a few and stopped, focusing more on various seasonings, cigarettes, alcohol, candy, and tea. Of course, she also grabbed some cheese and whipped cream, which delighted A Tu, who, along with Sweet Potato, made several delicious desserts. Shen Wangshu thought A Tu's cooking skills were excellent, and they almost devoured a whole plate of candied sweet potatoes.
Ning's father squinted as he ate a roasted sweet potato dipped in osmanthus sauce.
The steaming hot, sweet and delicious sweet potatoes temporarily dispelled the tense atmosphere of the apocalypse, transforming it into a warm sense of happiness.
Atu made sweet potatoes in many different flavors, and almost everyone was busy making sweet potato dishes, while no one paid any attention to the snow-white steamed buns.
Ah Xuan glanced left at Ning's father, who was eating heartily, and right at Shen Wangshu, who was biting into a crisp, sweet candy coating with glistening sugar coating on her rosy lips. She felt ignored.
The zombie was unhappy and slumped dejectedly onto Shen Wangshu's shoulder.
His sunglasses had long since flown away, revealing a pair of grayish-white eyes.
Shen Wangshu smiled, touched his face, kissed him, and snatched a serving of cheese and sweet potato from Nan Lan's front.
“I remember you don’t eat sweets.” Nan Lan squinted at him, and Shen Wangshu looked at her with concern.
Nan Lan remained silent, staring coldly at her.
Shen Wangshu smiled shamelessly, lowered his head and stuffed the two crystal cores into the sweet potato, then handed the stuffed sweet potato to A Xuan with satisfaction.
The sweet smell of sweet potato and cheese meant nothing to the zombie. He sniffed it and hissed in disgust. However, considering that it was Shen Wangshu who had given it to him and seemed to care about him, the zombie twisted his body reservedly, stuffed his big hand into the sweet potato, took out a piece and put the crystal core into his mouth.
The delicious taste of the crystal core made the zombie squint his eyes, as if he was enjoying it. He rubbed his face against Shen Wangshu with satisfaction, looked at the sweet potato bowl, and then looked at Shen Wangshu again.
"Look at you, your hands are all messed up from eating." Shen Wangshu didn't seem to care and took out a handkerchief to wipe Ah Xuan's hands clean.
She stopped telling Ah Xuan to eat by himself, picked up the spoon in front of her, scooped up a spoonful of sweet potato, put a crystal core on it, and fed it to Ah Xuan.
Ah Xuan stared blankly at the spoon that had been delivered to him without his consent.
He had never imagined that food could be put into his mouth like this, and what's more, the smile on Shen Wangshu's face made Ah Xuan feel itchy all over.
It seems like it wants to rub against you, hug you, kiss you, and then...
What else?
The zombie felt that some image was about to emerge in his mind, but it was not clear at all. However, a kind of anxiety, different from the anxiety he used to feel when he tried not to eat people, spread through his body.
He stuck out his bloodless tongue and licked the spoon. This time, he seemed to see blurry images. There were still unfamiliar women and unfamiliar men in them. Ah Xuan hated looking at the men, but he instinctively knew that the woman, although different from the person smiling at him, was his Shu Shu.
She smiled charmingly, holding a spoon as she fed food to the man holding her. Then, she took the spoon out and licked it with a gleaming look before putting it in her own mouth.
Her smile was so alluring that it made Ah Xuan feel even hungrier.
He vaguely saw the unfamiliar man, then ripped open his clothes and pinned the beautiful woman beneath him.
Ah Xuan couldn't see or remember the rest of the scene. He just swallowed the sweet potato and crystal core on the spoon, then released the spoon and looked at Shen Wangshu expectantly.
