Chapter 257: Feasting
The metal railings were slightly rusted, gray raindrops fell low on the steel, and purple lightning flickered softly.
Li Heng spotted the girl standing behind the railing and hurried over, "I'm glad you're okay. Why are you not letting me in now?"
"Well, but you can wait a little longer. There are vendors selling snacks here every evening." Yuan Xiaoni's tone was a little unfamiliar. She pinched the corner of her clothes and pursed her lips.
Li Heng didn't notice it, but Lu Xuexue, who followed over, could tell at a glance that the other party was in a bad mood again. She probably misunderstood the relationship between them.
"Miss, I just saved him on the road. We are not familiar with each other. I came to H City to look for someone. I wonder if you can go to Ye Dynasty for me? Find a psychic named Xuan Hongyan? I will reward you." Lu Xuexue took out a small bag containing crystal cores.
"No need, I'll help you find it. Do you have any other information?" Yuan Xiaoni did not take the crystal core she handed over.
"Just help me call her out. I'm Lu Xuexue."
Yuan Xiaoni ran away holding an umbrella without even looking back at Li Heng.
"Tsk." Lu Xuexue took out a pack of watermelon-flavored chewing gum from her pocket. "That's your girlfriend, right? She's quite innocent."
"No, just a friend."
"Oh, that's a shame." Lu Xuexue tutted again. "Are you really slow, or are you just pretending? That girl is obviously interested in you, and she got jealous when she saw me."
"I have someone I like." Li Heng said calmly.
"So you knew it. It seems like you were just pretending. She's really miserable."
Yuan Xiaoni ran wildly all the way, and the accumulated water on the ground splashed on her trouser legs. Her mind was full of images of Li Heng and another woman in pair.
The umbrella was a little torn, and the rain fell on her through the gaps.
Ye Chao was in the suburbs of H City. She ran for nearly four hours before she found him.
Along the way, I was in a daze.
Yuan Xiaoni told the guard at the door that he was looking for someone and gave his name, and the call was quickly connected to Xuan Hongyan's intercom.
As soon as the person on the other side heard Lu Xuexue's name, he rushed over without saying a word.
"Where is the snowman Lu Xue?" Xuan Hongyan was wearing a red coat and holding a transparent sunshade umbrella.
Yuan Xiaoni had never seen such a good-looking person since the end of the world. She stammered, "He's outside."
Xuan Hongyan asked Mo Lian to drive out and give Yuan Xiaoni a ride.
"You didn't come here running, did you?" Xuan Hongyan threw a clean towel to her.
"Well, not far." Yuan Xiaoni held the towel tightly, his fingertips turned white, and the white towel had a faint scent of perfume.
The car is also very clean.
Then think about Lu Xuexue’s bright appearance.
Yuan Xiaoni touched his face unconsciously, and his face turned pale.
Xuan Hongyan saw that she was not in a good state and reached out to help her wipe her hair.
Xuan·Old Madam·Hongyan has always been very nice to girls. The girl in front of her is not very old and looks timid, a bit like Zhong Lingmei when she first joined the Rose Team.
However, the other party is now obsessed with chasing stars. These days, he has been attracted by the pretty boy in the milk tea shop outside. He goes out every night and wastes a lot of crystal cores.
Xuan Hongyan didn't care. It was the end of the world, and everyone should just have fun. Why bother about material things? Besides, she had never seen Zhong Lingmei so happy, so she didn't care.
Anyway, their team has no shortage of crystal cores.
Yuan Xiaoni was in a daze.
The older sister next to me smells nice and is very gentle.
"Here you go. There's a box of yogurt in the car. It was bought by Xiao Choujue a few days ago. You can drink it. We don't like it." Xuan Hongyan stuffed the yogurt into the girl's hand.
Yuan Xiaoni's heart was filled with ripples.
She just felt like she was heartbroken, so why did she feel her heart beating faster now?
The car drove to the door quickly.
Lu Xuexue had been waiting for a long time, and her eyes turned red as soon as she saw Xuan Hongyan.
"Old Xuan, our team is gone." Lu Xuexue had never lost her composure in front of outsiders, but when she saw Xuan Hongyan, she couldn't help but break down.
"It's over now. Those people were holding you back in the first place and weren't good people. It's okay, you can join our Rose Team." Xuan Hongyan glanced at Li Heng beside her. "It's you."
"Is Xiaojin okay?"
"Very good. Why are you coming to us instead of staying at Xilin Base?"
"I have something important to tell Luo Yuanting, it's about stardust." Li Heng's tone was calm. He felt that this would make it more mysterious.
But Xuan Hongyan didn't have any good feelings towards the man in front of her.
Xiaojin already has a boyfriend and even a husband, but this ex-boyfriend is still pestering her all the time, which is really annoying.
Xuan Hongyan asked someone to open the door and let the two in.
There were people closely watching the container next to it. When they saw the door open, they all came out and wanted to go in.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? We want to go in too! Why should they be able to go in? When it comes to superpowers, I'm no weaker than them. You have to treat everyone equally. I don't care if you know me or not. Everyone is watching!"
“That’s right!”
"The sign outside clearly states that it's not open yet, and H City won't accept any other survivors. Do you understand the rules, heitui?"
“That’s right!”
…
Xuan Hongyan's face darkened as she threw a few ice knives out, "If anyone disagrees, come and compete with me."
The ice blade flew precisely towards the ears of the gossipers, cutting off a few strands of hair around their ears.
Suddenly no one dared to talk nonsense anymore.
As soon as Li Heng walked into the door, he received a task from the system.
[Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Don't bully the young and poor! Host, please say a few provocative words to the person who just gossiped. The time limit is three minutes. Success will reward you with a seventh-level wind crystal core. Failure will deduct one level of supernatural power from the host.]
Deducting superpowers? How could that be possible???
Li Heng didn't even think twice and rushed over, "Come here, you can't come over! A bunch of idiots!"
[Mission completed, seventh-level wind crystal core has arrived~]
Xuan Hongyan looked at Li Heng with disdain, and felt more and more that this man was not a good person.
Lu Xuexue's impression of Li Heng plummeted immediately. She thought this man was a gentleman, but she didn't expect him to be so vulgar.
Yuan Xiaoni was a little dazed. In her memory, Li Heng had always been a caring and good brother. This was the first time she saw him behave so abnormally.
For a moment, she began to doubt her own aesthetic sense. The sadness in her heart disappeared completely in an instant.
Suddenly I feel that the other person is not worthy of me.
Li Heng had no idea that people around him had changed their views of him. After completing the task and obtaining the crystal core, he was in an excited state.
You know, he is only level six, and it is difficult for him to hunt a level seven zombie. Now he gets a level seven crystal core for free, which is simply a pie in the sky. As expected, he has got the script of the male protagonist!
After returning to Ye Dynasty, Xuan Hongyan arranged accommodation for Lu Xuexue.
Li Juan and Gao Xiumei in Lu Xuexue's car were still locked up, and no one cared about their life or death.
Li Juan squatted in the car, the poisonous look in her eyes clearly visible, "It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been caught."
"You still have the nerve to blame me? If you hadn't wanted to seduce those men, would they have died? We wouldn't have been locked up for so long. Now let's find a way to escape. From what they said, we have already arrived in H City." Gao Xiumei frowned in thought.
Yuan Xiaoni and Li Heng went to find Luo Yuanting together to explain the reason.
The two of them walked in silence.
After Yuan Xiaoni came to H City, because of her rare healing ability, although the level was low, she found a job in the neighborhood helping people treat injuries, and she changed to a new backpack.
She took out the small cloth bag containing the crystal cores from her bag and said, "Brother Li, thank you. I have found a job here now. If you have things you want to do, you can go and do them. Don't worry about me. I will return these crystal cores to you. Now I can earn them on my own."
Li Heng was originally short of crystal cores, so he didn't refuse and took the small cloth bag.
He didn't look through the cloth bag, so he didn't know that the crystal cores inside were far more than what he had given the other party before.
Half of it was earned by Yuan Xiaoni from his hard work in treating people in the past few days.
Yuan Xiaoni didn't explain, she just wanted to put a perfect end to her first relationship.
The moment Li Heng accepted the cloth bag, he also received a prompt from the system.
[Ding Dong, unfortunately, the host has lost a relationship connection and will lose one level of supernatural power~]
Li Heng: ???
He didn't do anything, but he lost a level of supernatural power. He was at level six just now, but now he has become level five in an instant. The gap is huge.
This system is too bad.
Luo Yunjin, who was buying breakfast not far away, heard the system's voice, turned around and looked at Li Heng, and clicked his tongue in his heart.
I didn’t expect that Li Heng looked quite like Aquaman.
She was focused on buying buns and didn't want to cook tonight. Most people in the family were out, so she took her two cats out to eat.
There are many snack shops in Ye Chao, with more varieties than those in the streets outside. They also sell meat here, and the buns are filled with meat.
Luo Yunjin avoided Li Heng's gaze and didn't want to recognize him.
She walked through the alley and found a hot pot restaurant.
As soon as you get close you can smell the spicy aroma and the fragrance is overwhelming.
"Hey sister, are you here for hotpot? Are you alone? We have many varieties of hotpot bases, and we also have a free buffet." The proprietress pounced on the guests like a butterfly as soon as she saw them.
This hot pot restaurant is located in a remote area and there are very few customers in the store.
When I saw the price list hanging on the wall, I was surprised to find that no one was there because it was so expensive.
A plate of organic bok choy and three fourth-level crystal cores.
A plate of mutant beef rolls and two fifth-level crystal cores.
Vegetarian dishes were all priced at fourth-order crystal cores, while meat dishes were priced at fifth-order crystal cores. Even a glass of purified water cost a second-order crystal core, which was outrageous.
But since he had finally made the trip, Luo Yunjin still spent a huge amount of money and prepared a big meal.
She ordered all the specials.
There was also a bottle of sour plum juice, chilled, worth three fifth-order crystal cores. It smelled a bit bland, not as good as what she made herself.
A total of three seventh-level crystal cores were spent.
This was considered a big deal. The proprietress smiled happily and led Luo Yunjin to the best-lit and most comfortable spot.
The store here is just like it was before the apocalypse, except for the side dishes which don’t look that great, but overall it’s still pretty good.
At least the hot pot base was fragrant, much better than the seasoning she made with instant noodles.
It should be cooked with broth, the soup is very fragrant and delicious.
The little tabby cat and the little leopard cat were both crying because of greed.
Luo Yunjin ordered a shuangyuan hotpot with two flavors.
Corn sausage, rice cake, starch sausage, bagged rice crust, organic bok choy, organic tomato slices, organic lotus root slices, potato flour, and two plates of mutant beef rolls, etc.
I also ordered some dried fish, which is the cat’s favorite to chew.
The dried fish in this store are also made from a mutant fish. They are cooked snacks and can be eaten directly.
It's salty and spicy, and the taste is very strong.
The two cats squatted on the chairs, slanting their cheeks and eating with relish.
The potato noodles are chewy, crystal clear and soaked in soup.
Luo Yunjin finished all the side dishes by himself and even refilled the soup base twice.
Because the portion is too small.
She only had enough to eat by herself.
One person and two cats sat on the chairs, burped loudly, and drank some not-so-palatable sour plum soup.
At this time, a group of men and women in black uniforms came to the hot pot restaurant.
Looks very capable attire.
The proprietress served them very skillfully, and it was obvious that they were regulars here.
Their table was right next to hers.
But with so many people, we ordered twice the amount she just ordered, and it felt like it wouldn't be enough.
"Oh, you have cats, so cute!" One of the girls with oval faces was surprised to see the cats lying on the chair with their bellies spread out. "These two cats are really fat, they look like they're going to be very well fed."
The tabby cub silently tucked his tail between his legs and covered it.
The little leopard cat did a somersault and changed to a paw-strap position.
They are all reserved little kittens and you can't touch them casually.
"Little girl, can I touch them? They are so fat~" the oval-faced girl sighed again.
"I don't care, but they all have strong personalities." Luo Yunjin knew the temperament of the cats at home. They looked soft and cute, but they were actually very cold towards outsiders.
For example, now, both cats turned around and faced away from them.
The oval-faced girl didn't care at all. She squatted on the ground and stretched out her hand.
"Mee!" The little tabby raised his paw without saying a word.
"Meow!" The little leopard cat followed the tabby cat and also used a claw.
The girl was caught off guard and had her hand scratched, leaving two bloody marks.
It happened so quickly that no one could react.
Several men in uniform quickly surrounded Luo Yunjin and the cat.
"Girl, your mutant cat isn't poisonous, is it?"
"I don't know about this. Why don't you go find someone with healing abilities? I told you my cat has a very unique personality. You can't blame me if you get hurt." Luo Yunjin picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth.
Both cats were grinning fiercely, looking so cute and fierce.
The oval-faced girl looked depressed. "Ah, I don't think I've ever been popular with cats, even before the apocalypse."
"If you like, we can buy them. These two cats hurt you, so we bought them for you to play with." One of the men in black uniform said with a doting look on his face.
Luo Yunjin: ...
"I didn't agree to sell it." Luo Yunjin put all the cats into the cat backpack.
"But your cat hurt someone, and you still want to leave? Today, you have to sell your cat even if you don't want to. Don't worry, the price we offer is far more than your cat is worth."
Luo Yunjin almost laughed out loud. Why would someone be so self-righteous?
The oval-faced girl smiled brightly. "Miss, just sell them to me. Just name a price and I'm sure I can afford it. I just happen to want to make some felt toys, and these two cats look like they have a lot of fur."
As she said that, she wanted to grab the cat backpack from Luo Yunjin's hand.
"Who gave you the courage?" Luo Yunjin took out a handful of orange seeds from his pocket, and in the instant he dropped them on the ground, several orange trees with legs and hands grew out.
