She had cooked the canned meat with instant noodles, and although it tasted pretty good, a fragrant and exceptionally savory aroma started drifting in from outside just as the scent began to emerge. After the apocalypse, life had become hard, and fresh vegetables were not easy to come by unless one ventured into the fields, where they might still find crops that had not been spoiled.
After the apocalypse, Chen Si had been seriously injured and remained unconscious, so with him in tow, when did they have the opportunity to look for food in those large agricultural bases?
Suddenly encountering this long-missed savory fragrance was too much for anyone to resist. And it wasn’t just the others—Meng Qingluo herself began to scorn the instant noodles in the pot.
Bai Qianqian wrinkled her little nose, looked disdainfully at the pot nearby, and blinked at Bai Ye, "Dad, I miss Mama."
Hesitating for just a second, Bai Ye stood up with Bai Qianqian in his arms, and naturally said to his teammates, "Qianqian misses his mom, I’ll take him over there, you guys eat first."
The others exchanged glances, their eyes full of reproach toward Bai Ye—Boss! That’s not cool! How can you abandon your brothers to freeload a meal!
Bai Ye was not the least bit ashamed, boldly meeting their gaze—You’re thinking too much, I’m just taking Qianqian over.
The teammates silently retracted their gazes—Yeah right! Who would believe that!
Watching Bai Ye leave with Bai Qianqian, Meng Qingluo, who was about to turn off the burner, completely lost her appetite. She was a good cook, and during this period, she had always been in charge of the team’s meals. Everyone would compliment her at each meal, a mix of praise and gratitude.
Unfortunately, comparisons ruin everything. With the savory smell in the air and the canned meat noodles in front of them, everyone lost their appetite. The teammates looked at each other, and Xu Wu, who was always down-to-earth, said, "Although Qingluo’s cooking is great, don’t you all rush for it—take it one at a time!"
With this, everyone else joined in the teasing, and the atmosphere turned lively.
Meng Qingluo forced a smile, but her thoughts had already drifted far away with Bai Ye. That tantalizing aroma was inescapable, and suddenly she remembered that the Fang Family had secretly stockpiled many supplies before the apocalypse, and Fang Yuxin was a Wood Element Superpower User. Getting fresh vegetables would undoubtedly be easy for her, and the meals Bai Qianqian had enjoyed these past few days were probably fantastic. Meng Qingluo realized she had been worrying for nothing.
...
Following the scent, Bai Ye led Bai Qianqian to the temporary resting place of Fang Yuxin and her group. Approaching them, the fragrance grew even richer. Inside the house, a folding table was set up, and the spread on it was quite extravagant. In addition to a pot of meat soup, there were also cold dishes like poached chicken, marinated duck, beef jerky, and spicy pork slices all kept in preservation boxes, and there was plenty of each.
Because they were outside, there was always the risk of zombies or other survivors showing up, so everyone ate quickly. In less than ten minutes, they finished their lunch. Throughout the meal, Fang Yuxin and Bai Qianqian used their Spiritual Sense to stay on alert. Perhaps because of Liu Meng, the survivors who had left earlier did not return, but they had attracted quite a few zombies instead. ƒreewebɳovel.com
