She checked the time and it was only four o'clock. Although the sun outside was covered by dark clouds, the air was getting hotter and hotter. She didn't want to go out, so she stayed at home and continued to study "The Formulas of Soup Recipes" on her tablet. Fortunately, it had annotations, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to understand it.
As time passed, the indoor light grew dimmer and dimmer. When Lin Ruo looked up again, it was completely dark outside. She glanced at her watch; it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
She closed the tablet, pulled over the charging cable, plugged the tablet in, and then turned on the light.
She first checked on Ashou and Afu in the bedroom. The two were still sleeping peacefully. She used her mental energy to probe their bodies and saw that the mutation was still ongoing. She felt relieved and withdrew her mental energy.
Turning to the kitchen, she planned to cook a few dishes to reward herself for her hard work all afternoon.
Lin Ruo entered the space with her spiritual energy. The vegetables in the garden were still growing well. She picked the vegetables that were ready to eat and put them into the still space. She then picked through the vegetables inside.
The garlic scapes are ready to eat, so let's make a stir-fried garlic scapes with pork. The green beans are ready to be picked, so let's make a dry-fried green bean dish. And with some pork tenderloin, let's make a braised pork slice dish. Perfect!
As for staple food... Lin Ruo stroked her chin and thought for a moment. It had been a long time since she had pancakes. She might as well make some pancakes and cook some millet porridge. It would be delicious and healthy.
After taking everything out, Lin Ruo started busying herself in the kitchen. It was already dark outside, but her little world felt warm and fulfilling.
In just over half an hour, Lin Ruo had finished cooking. The golden-fried pork slices with a sweet and sour sauce were delicious and not greasy. And then, take a bite of the freshly made crispy flatbread—it was delicious!
Take another bite of the stir-fried garlic scapes. The garlic scapes grown on the black soil taste so good. There are no strands at all. Paired with perfectly stir-fried pork, it's so delicious!
Take another bite of the dry-fried green beans, and a spicy and numbing flavor hits your taste buds, overpowering the meaty aroma from before, instantly whetting your appetite!
During the meal, Lin Ruo ate three pancakes, finished all three dishes, and drank two bowls of millet porridge.
After finishing her meal, clearing the table, and tidying up the kitchen and dining table, Lin Ruo put all the pots and pans that needed washing into the dishwasher.
Lin Ruo lay half-reclined on the sofa and let out a satisfied burp; this meal was truly enjoyable.
Looking at the time, it was already nine o'clock. Lin Ruo looked out through the French windows. The moon was still bright outside. No one could have guessed that tomorrow would be the beginning of the end of the world.
She took out a new phone, inserted a new SIM card, and sent a text message to Chen Yu.
"Chen Yu, I know your secret. If you don't want me to tell Luo Junxiang of the Qinglin Gang, come to Room 2302, Building 5, Liming Community at 3 pm tomorrow. The key is in the mailbox. If you don't come, you will bear the consequences."
After sending the text message, she pulled out the SIM card without hesitation. With signal tracking so advanced these days, she could be tracked even if it was just for a few minutes, let alone a whole day. She couldn't let anyone find out.
Lin Ruo threw her card and phone into the storage space, then lay on the sofa with her arms around her head, emptying her mind.
Based on Lin Ruo's understanding of Chen Yu, Chen Yu would definitely go after receiving this message, and the apocalypse would start at 3 PM, so once he went, he wouldn't be able to leave.
On the other hand, when Chen Yu did receive the message, he was lying in a military hospital in City B. Yesterday, he had escaped death from City C and returned to City B. However, he was discovered by the Qinglin Gang when he escaped, and after a fierce battle, he was shot.
Upon seeing this message, Chen Yu's already cold and hard expression turned even colder. Ever since he went to City C to carry out a mission, his information had been completely blocked. Even Luo Junxiang, the leader of the Qinglin Gang, only knew his code name, and he couldn't find out anything about his real identity.
To protect him, his information has not been unblocked yet, but this person easily found out his identity and obtained his contact information.
Who exactly is this person?
