Chapter 371 It smells amazing!
After the canned food was heated on the stove, it was distributed to everyone present, one can per person, and they scooped out food from it themselves.
They ate with great care, even licking the meat scraps off the lids, unwilling to waste a single bite.
Seeing their pitiful state, Wu Ming felt quite distressed.
They stay here and endure hardship only to complete the mission.
Wu Ming took out food from his card space, including some compressed biscuits, canned breakfast food, and dried meat.
It's not that great, but at least it gives them a change of pace, which is better than feeding them canned dog food.
Those people were pleasantly surprised to see some different food, and they shared it with each other to try it.
Do they want to eat canned dog food? Isn't this just a desperate measure because they have nothing else to eat?
Seeing Meng Shiwan and the others watching them eat, Zhang Yi said unhappily, "It's not that I don't want to give you any food, it's that you don't like our food."
Meng Shiwan remained silent, but quietly took out five boxed lunches from her spatial storage and distributed them among the group.
The moment the boxed lunch was opened, the aroma filled the room, making everyone's mouths water instantly.
They followed the aroma to the food in Meng Shiwan's lunchbox, and almost choked on their own saliva.
The glistening braised pork, a piece of steamed fish, vibrant green stir-fried vegetables, served with fluffy white rice and a few pieces of fresh fruit, made them swoon with delight.
"Good heavens, am I dreaming? Can I really still see food like this?"
"Wow, this looks delicious! The braised pork must be really good, and the fruit must be really sweet."
"Who says otherwise? I just ate something, so why is my stomach growling again?"
"If I could have one more bite of this delicious food before I die, it would be worth dying for."
"Don't say such unlucky things. We should live well so that we can have more delicious food than we can eat in the future."
Zhang Yi was also dumbfounded. Looking at the food in their lunchboxes, he was so drooling that he almost soaked the compressed biscuits in his mouth into porridge.
"Extravagant! How can it be so extravagant? This is too extravagant! How delicious must it be?"
At that moment, they truly became the focus of the entire event, with the sound of them swallowing saliva constantly filling the air.
Helpless, Meng Shiwan looked up and asked them, "Do you have crystal cores?"
Zhang Yi nodded, "Yes, we've collected quite a few crystal cores by killing zombies here."
Meng Shiwan said calmly, "If you want to eat it, bring some crystal cores in exchange. Twenty crystal cores per serving."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi didn't even need to say anything; the man with the buzz cut stood up and went out. When he returned, he was carrying a large bag of crystal cores.
A few minutes later, everyone at the scene had a boxed lunch in their hands, and they ate it with great relish.
They wanted to finish it all in one bite, but they were also reluctant to eat such a delicious meal all at once, so they sipped it quickly and in small bites.
"My goodness, this is so delicious! I never thought the food I ate before the apocalypse would be anything special, but it's so incredibly tasty."
"Waaaaah, it's so delicious! It smells so good! I can't even imagine how happy I would be if I could eat this every day."
They ate their food, and by the end, they had even licked the soup at the bottom of the box clean, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.
After everyone had finished eating, they began discussing the rescue plan again.
After what just happened, none of them dared to underestimate Meng Shiwan anymore. After all, if they wanted to eat such delicious food again, they would have to go to Meng Shiwan again.
Zhang Yi said, "After thinking it over, I only have one feasible plan: we should first provoke other bases around us, and then we can reap the benefits after these bases start fighting with the Zeus base."
“There’s no need,” Meng Shiwan said.
Zhang Yi looked at her questioningly, "Do you have a better idea?"
Wu Ming looked on expectantly, "What exactly is your plan?"
Meng Shiwan took the map and got a general idea of the situation.
The fact that Zeus Base is located in the center of the city, and that they can build a base in a zombie-infested area, is enough to prove their weaponry capabilities.
If the weapon reserves are not abundant enough, it is simply impossible to quickly clear out zombies and establish a base in the early stages.
Another advantage of doing this at the Zeus base is that the zombies around the base will automatically form a protective zone.
Anyone who wants to attack Zeus must first pass through the zombie protection zone. Once they encounter a zombie, they will inevitably make a noise, and Zeus will immediately notice and take precautions.
Furthermore, clearing out a large number of zombies is troublesome in itself.
Normally, Zeus base only needs to defend against zombies, which actually become a protective barrier for the base.
Meng Shiwan said, "There's no need to find other bases to attack the Zeus base. They might not be able to penetrate the zombie protection zone or inflict much damage on the Zeus base. Humans are emotional beings; they'll retreat if things go wrong. They can't be relied upon."
The simplest way is to use the zombies surrounding the Zeus base to attack it. With enough numbers and fearless attacks, wave after wave will overwhelm the Zeus base, forcing them to fight the zombies.
"Wait a minute." Zhang Yi thought he was hallucinating. "What did you say? Let the zombies attack the Zeus base? Do you think those zombies will listen to us?"
The zombies are lucky if they don't bite them to death, how could they possibly listen to them?
They ordered the zombies to attack the Zeus base, and the zombies had to obey? This is no way to do it; it's simply a pipe dream.
Meng Shiwan said calmly, "You only need to tell me one question now: how many zombies are there around the Zeus base? Are they enough to form a zombie army?"
Although Zhang Yi still didn't understand what Meng Shiwan was talking about, he answered truthfully, "This city was a large city before the apocalypse. Even though a lot of zombies have been cleared after the apocalypse, the number of zombies in this city is still considerable."
The Zeus base uses zombies as a protective barrier to deter malicious enemies, and also intentionally allows them to gather around the base; the number is not an issue.
But the problem now is, how do we get the zombies to attack the Zeus base? Should we lure them with flesh or blood? We're barely enough to eat ourselves, where would we get so much food? Besides, if we make such a commotion, the Zeus base will definitely notice immediately.
As he was speaking, he saw the little girl next to him chuckle twice.
Zhang Yi was speechless and looked at Qin Nianshu, "What are you laughing at? The question I asked is very important, what's so funny?"
This is indeed an important problem, and it would be very difficult for anyone to solve.
To attack the Zeus base, you must first deal with the terrifying number of zombies surrounding it. Who wouldn't be annoyed by that?
Unfortunately, they had limited manpower, and even this first step, let alone a rescue plan, stumped them.
Unfortunately, it turned out that Meng Shiwan and her group were the ones who came this time.
These problems are no longer problems.
