Chapter 83
"I have some food here."
After entering the empty room, Mu Yang noticed that Yun Xiaoxiao and the others seemed to have no food, so he opened his backpack.
There was quite a bit of food inside.
There were many instant noodles, bread, compressed biscuits, chocolate, candy, and water.
These were the most basic survival supplies that could fill stomachs or provide energy.
"These are some things I found today. I collected some more earlier, but they're not here. We can go get them tomorrow."
Mu Yang generously shared all of his things, without holding anything back.
Nie Yizhou put his arm around Mu Yang's shoulders, "Brother, aren't you afraid we'll eat it all up?"
With supplies so scarce now, being able to share like this showed quite a generous spirit.
"Go ahead and eat. I don't share with just anyone."
"Hey, I like the sound of that."
Nie Yizhou gave Mu Yang's shoulder a friendly pat.
Seeing everyone getting along so well, Yun Xiaoxiao was in a good mood too.
She trusted both Mu Yang's character and abilities. With him joining, the team's fighting power would increase significantly.
How wonderful, another laborer added to the group!
Speaking of labor, she suddenly thought of Feng Xiaoshi and couldn't help but sigh.
Although she didn't have much emotional attachment to her, it was still hard to watch someone die just when they were full of hope. It left her feeling a bit heavy-hearted.
This made Yun Xiaoxiao ponder the standards for accepting new people in the future.
She decided that, barring special circumstances, after accepting Mu Yang, she wouldn't take in any more people.
Even if she did accept others, she wouldn't plan to make them close companions.
This way, if something unexpected happened, she wouldn't be upset.
As for Lu Chen and the others, she would do her utmost to help them all become the strongest they could be!
Yun Xiaoxiao wasn't one to dwell on the past. After collecting herself, she turned to Mu Yang with a smile.
"Brother Mu Yang, can you give me these things? I can trade you something else for them."
Mu Yang paused for a second, then placed the bag in front of Yun Xiaoxiao with a light chuckle.
"I brought these for everyone to eat anyway. You go ahead and distribute them."
Everyone observed Mu Yang's actions.
At this moment, they truly accepted Mu Yang as one of their own.
Yun Xiaoxiao clapped her hands, "Brothers, you've had a hard day. We shouldn't deprive ourselves. Let's have something nice tonight."
As soon as Yun Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Nie Yizhou swallowed hard.
He was very excited to see what delicious food Yun Xiaoxiao was talking about.
Xiao Feng and Lu Chen also looked over curiously.
Only Mu Yang was confused, not understanding what Yun Xiaoxiao meant.
Until...
He watched as Yun Xiaoxiao, as if performing magic, produced plate after plate of dishes...
Chicken with green peppers, boiled sliced pork, twice-cooked pork, spicy beef tripe, Dongpo pork knuckle, sour fish soup, spicy crayfish, garlic crayfish, mapo tofu, braised meat...
Every dish looked delicious, with some still steaming hot.
Finally, Yun Xiaoxiao brought out a big bowl of white rice.
Of course, she didn't forget Little Cutie, specially preparing a delicious meal for it too.
Mu Yang's throat involuntarily bobbed.
How long had it been since he'd eaten food like this?
Forget eating, he hadn't even seen such dishes since the apocalypse began.
His eyes trembled, emotions surging within him.
He had only guessed before, but now he was certain that Yun Xiaoxiao coming to him for car modifications before the apocalypse was no coincidence!
Seeing that Lu Chen and the others weren't surprised at all, he couldn't help but furrow his brow.
The little one just brought out these things directly. Weren't the three of them suspicious?
Would they harbor ill intentions towards the little one?
No, he had to keep a close eye on them to prevent them from doing anything bad to the little one!
While he was wary of Lu Chen and the other two, little did he know that they were also on guard against him.
If they noticed even a hint of ill intent from him, they would eliminate him together.
Nie Yizhou was the first to give in to temptation, sitting down and picking up his chopsticks.
He put a piece of fragrant and tender chicken with green peppers in his mouth, a look of pure enjoyment on his face.
"Kid, this is sooooo delicious! Every dish is my favorite!"
"These spicy crayfish are perfect!"
Xiao Feng sucked on a crayfish, nodding repeatedly.
Just as Yun Xiaoxiao was about to pick up some food, two peeled crayfish tails suddenly appeared in her bowl.
Lu Chen and Mu Yang had peeled crayfish for her at the same time!
Yun Xiaoxiao smiled at both of them.
"Brothers, you eat. Don't worry about me, I can eat by myself."
She wasn't a three-year-old child. She didn't need anyone to take care of her.
Mu Yang smiled, "Alright, looks like our little one has grown up."
After that, everyone focused on eating.
With Nie Yizhou's chatter and Xiao Feng occasionally teasing him, the atmosphere remained lively.
For lighting, Yun Xiaoxiao brought out a small charging box that could directly connect to light bulbs.
Simple lighting wasn't a problem.
After dinner and a short rest, everyone took turns washing up.
Yun Xiaoxiao brought out several large water buckets, filling half with spirit spring water and half with mineral water.
Xiao Feng was responsible for lighting the fire to heat the water.
Even after washing up, Mu Yang still felt a bit dazed, finding it all unbelievable.
Before today, he wouldn't have dared to imagine eating meat and rice to his heart's content, or taking a hot shower.
Yet in such a short time, he had experienced it all.
And that strange water – though it left him smelling a bit odd, its effects were remarkably good.
All the fatigue from the day was gone.
He even felt his body had become stronger!
Looking at the soft mattress and blanket, he felt momentarily disoriented.
It felt like he was in a dream.
But this dream was so real!
Watching Yun Xiaoxiao burrow into her bedding, he gently pressed his lips together.
How many more surprises did this little one have in store?
After crawling into her blanket, Yun Xiaoxiao shaped it to look like a person was inside.
Then, she quietly entered her space.
She came to the ten newly risen apartment buildings, nodding with satisfaction.
This was all her domain!
"By the way, Little Enemy, aren't you going to update the items in the self-service shopping machine?"
After Lord Zhan redeemed items, those icons had dimmed, clearly no longer available for exchange.
Currently, only the level two evolution potion and anti-scratch headgear icons were still lit up.
Yun Xiaoxiao wondered if more items could be added for exchange.
After all, the items sold by the system were quite good.
[Host, your points level is only at one. You can't unlock the level two shopping interface yet. When your points reach 150, you'll be able to unlock the next shopping interface.]
Yun Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow but didn't dwell on it.
She now had 116 points. With Mu Yang's addition, they should be able to gather 150 soon. Just wait two more days.
"Then what's the next stage's mission?"
[Clear an entire street of zombies!
Reward: All streets in the super city will be automatically completed!]
"Does that include the shops on that street?"
[Yes, it does.]
Yun Xiaoxiao quickly filtered through her mental options, soon deciding which street to choose.
