Chen Yunhao looked at Song Moshang, who was much younger than before but had an unusually playful personality, with a bit of a headache. "Uncle Song, don't you know the principle of not showing off your food?"
"Uncle understands. You're not outsiders. Come on, let's eat here. It's been a long time since we've had a proper chat."
The people in the other cars pressed their ears against the windows, lowering their voices to listen to the sounds outside.
What! Going to Song Moshang's place for delicious food? This is such a great opportunity! They want to go too.
What? Chen Yunhao isn't going? That idiot! If he doesn't want to go, let them go! They've been drooling over the smell of the food for ages.
Chen Yunhao's cold gaze swept over his teammates, who were clearly physically present but mentally absent. He knew they wanted to eat, but when he thought of how his teammates had given up their food to the general public and eaten compressed biscuits themselves over the past month or two, his cold gaze turned into heartache.
His soldiers were all in their early twenties, the youngest being only eighteen.
Chen Yunhao took out the jade pendant he always wore around his neck. "How about this, Uncle Song, I know you love jade. Can this piece of jade from our Chen family be used as payment for the meal?"
Less than two months into the apocalypse, gold, jade, and paper money were still in circulation, albeit at a significantly reduced value.
A 20-gram gold bracelet can now only be exchanged for a boxed lunch with a piece of meat and a piece of green vegetable.
After thinking for half a second, Old Master Song said, "I don't want the jade. You can use the zombie crystal cores to pay for this meal."
"What does Uncle Song need the crystal core for?"
Song Moshang looked around and lowered his voice even further: "Go tell Uncle in the car that Uncle only wants the crystal cores, nothing else."
Chen Yunhao looked at the mysterious Song Moshang and nodded in agreement.
When the nine young men saw that their captain had finally agreed, they happily put away the compressed biscuits they were holding and carefully placed them in their pockets. They could eat these biscuits again next time, so they couldn't lose them.
The ten people from Victory Base were taken into the RV by Song Moshang.
The RV was converted from a large truck and can easily accommodate sixteen people.
As soon as the ten people entered, they saw the untouched food on the table and five people smiling at them.
Ye Zhi clapped her hands and exclaimed happily, "Eat!"
It means inviting them to come over for dinner.
Tang Xubai laughed: "Okay, thank you, little sweet bean."
Then, together with the other team members, Ye Jingyu and the others stood up to greet them, saying, "Hello Uncle Lu, hello Brother Jingyu, hello Sister-in-law, hello Xiaobai, hello Little Sweet Bean."
Ye Jingyu said, "Alright, don't be shy, come and eat."
Chen Yunhao said solemnly, "Thank you. How many crystal cores do you need?"
The other people at the table, unaware of what had happened, looked puzzled. What crystal core?
Grandpa Song looked at Chen Yunhao, who was really serious, patted the young man on the shoulder, and laughed loudly: "This kid Yunhao refuses to come. If he does come, he insists on paying for the meal. I can only ask him to give me the crystal cores."
"How about this, each of you give us a crystal core with attributes?"
Attribute-less crystal cores are not hard to find; almost every zombie has one in its brain. What's rare are attribute-based crystal cores. This family fought zombies for nearly two months and only encountered about twenty zombies with special abilities. They couldn't even encounter one a day.
Zombies with superpowers are just as rare as superhumans.
"good."
Chen Yunhao glanced at his team members, signaling them to quickly take out the crystal core.
Tang Xubai pouted. He had already taken it, okay? Did the captain give him an extra look because he suspected he was trying to freeload? Humph.
Even though attribute-based crystal cores are rare, Chen Yunhao's team, which goes out of the base every day to fight zombies, still has some.
Most of the crystals they gave were water-type and earth-type ability crystals. To Ye Zhi's surprise, two of them actually took out a lightning-type ability crystal and a mental ability crystal.
This is truly an unexpected delight.
The fewest are those with mental and spatial abilities, followed by those with lightning and plant abilities.
It was Chen Yunhao who took out the mental ability crystal core. He saw that Ye Zhi's already bright eyes shone even brighter, and he knew that Ye Zhi liked this crystal core.
He approached Ye Zhi, who was sitting at the baby table, and bent down to hand her the mental energy crystal core.
"Sweet Bean, here you go."
Ye Zhi reached out her little hand and took the crystal core, replying very obediently, "Thank you, Uncle Hao."
Chen Yunhao raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Little Sweet Bean is so polite. Uncle knew there was a reason why Little Sweet Bean doesn't like Xu Xin."
He noticed today that Ye Zhi, who usually doesn't say much when he talks to Grandpa Song on the phone, had confronted Xu Xin several times, each time attacking his heart and adding fuel to the fire.
Ye Zhi wholeheartedly agreed with Chen Yunhao's assessment that she was polite, nodding firmly. Today, the little bun on top of her head didn't wobble, but the little bun at the back of her head wobbled a few times, so Song Yuanqing tied her hair back up.
[The original author deserves to die! She turned such a good person like Chen Yunhao into cannon fodder.]
It was time for Ye Zhi's heartfelt words. Old Master Song, Ye Jingyu, and Song Yuanqing all listened attentively.
Chen Yunhao turned into a zombie in the third year of the apocalypse while leading a team to collect grain from a grain reserve base in the south.
[After turning into a zombie, he was killed by his own father.]
Such a good person shouldn't have such a tragic end.
Sigh, there are still three years left. Let's see if we can change Chen Yunhao's fate then.
When she read the book, she really liked Chen Yunhao, the cannon fodder character. The author described him as a soldier, a good soldier who served the country and the people before the apocalypse and the base and the people after the apocalypse.
But that damned author, not only did he not give such a good soldier a romantic partner, but he also made him die in such a tragic way. He deserves to die.
She considered giving up on the book at one point, but due to a lack of other books to read, she finished the one that had been discontinued.
Yes, that idiot author even stopped updating, which almost drove her crazy.
Fortunately, Ye Zhi read all the updated content of the book and knew the direction of the story, which allowed her to give an early warning.
After the team members at Victory Base handed over their meal money, they began to eat heartily only after seeing Ye Zhi's family start eating.
The ten people said in unison, "Let's eat!"
They used serving chopsticks to transfer the food into their own bowls, which they brought along with chopsticks.
Chen Yunhao specifically instructed them that when the ten young men ate at a house with women and children, they should pay attention to hygiene.
"Mmm, this beef is flavorful and tender."
"Waaaaah, I hated eating vegetables before the apocalypse, but now I absolutely love this bite of vegetables!"
"This fried egg tastes just like home!"
A dozen or so people who had gotten off their own base vehicles gathered outside Ye Zhi's RV. If it weren't for the RV being covered in barbs, they would have wanted to press their faces against the RV and take a good sniff of the intoxicating aroma.
He Tao from the Ping An base looked at Desider, swallowed hard, and said, "Boss, I want to eat too."
"I think so too, how about we..."
