Chapter 56 - 56

Chapter 56 Just a casual mealXie Bei noticed the deep resentment in those eyes and said softly, "If you don't want to eat it in the future, then don't eat it!""You! Brother~ I didn't~"Xie Nan: *crying* I'm going on a hunger strike!Lin Yu helped unload the groceries from the trunk. He was now very glad that his older sister had taken precautions and put a lot of things in the trunk, otherwise it would have been exposed.One dish after another was brought to the table, its aroma filling the air.Spicy crayfish, sweet and sour pork ribs, boiled fish, chopped chili fish head, four-happiness meatballs, spicy diced chicken, lotus root and pork rib soup, cold beef salad, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, boiled glutinous rice balls...Wild Wolf Squad members:...Do you usually eat like this? Do you have a sensitive stomach? Is it easy for you?Mother Lin gestured for everyone to sit down, "Sit down, sit down, don't just stand there, let's eat!"The Wild Wolf Squad members, their jaws dropping in astonishment, only came to their senses when they held the fragrant roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) in their hands.Xie Nan was so excited she almost cried. Although they had plenty of food, they had never been so extravagant, let alone had such a complete selection of seasonings and ingredients."Mmm~ So delicious~"The group devoured the food; they hadn't tasted such delicious and visually appealing food since the apocalypse.Seeing that everyone was enjoying their meal, Lin Anran took out a bottle of beer and two large bottles of cola from the trunk.Wild Wolf Squad's eyes lit up.Bo Cheng and Guo Lin quickly stepped forward to accept it, saying, "This is too much of a waste! You should keep it for yourselves!"They were already embarrassed by how much they had eaten, yet they were still allowed to drink beer and cola. Several grown men stood up and kept declining.Lin Yu waved his hand generously, "Don't worry, brothers, we still have plenty. This is nothing. Let's all drink and have some fun."Xie Bei's eyes flickered, then she slowly resumed eating.Xie Nan stood up and opened a beer. "Since you've said so, little brother, let's not be polite. After we finish this bottle, we're brothers!""cheers!"The group of people who had just come up from the basement froze on the spot. No, this scene was a bit too much!They had just thought they were hallucinating because they could smell a fragrance, but now that they saw it, they realized it was too much!While they were working hard digging tunnels down below, this group of people were eating meat and drinking alcohol here.Many people here haven't had a proper meal since the apocalypse. They survive on water, biscuits, or bread every day, and the best they can afford is instant noodles.Now that they suddenly saw this scene, their eyes changed, and they frantically swallowed their saliva. It smelled so good!The most eye-catching person in the crowd wasBlazing Fire Squad, and Qi Lie frowned.Achi and Yaoyao are seriously ill and bedridden, unable to get out of bed yet, while these people are so blatantly wasting food.He strode angrily toward the group who were enjoying their meal. " Lin Anran! Your best friend and your ex-boyfriend were hit by lightning that day, and then inexplicably suffered serious injuries, including broken legs.""You don't care, yet you still come out and waste food!"Lin Anran, who was called out, looked puzzled. "No, what does their injury have to do with me? Besides, you mentioned my ex-boyfriend. We're not close, okay?"This food is mine, and I get to decide how to eat it. I say no waste, and that's final!That's ridiculous! What does a broken foot have to do with me?Qi Lie's neck turned red with anger. He himself couldn't even get such good food, so why should these good-for-nothings get it and feed this bunch of idiots from Wild Wolf Squad!What is this if not a waste!Xie Nan made no attempt to hide the sarcasm in his eyes, "Some people, what have we done to offend you? We're here to eat and watch over you, so why are you acting like a lapdog? It's disgusting!""You...you, Xie Nan, do you want to die?"Qi Lie's voice was sharp and stern. "What? YourWild Wolf Squad is struggling to survive? Now you're even clinging to ordinary people!"As soon as the words were spoken, the group of people who were chopping food stood up abruptly, Supernatural Ability slowly pulsating in their palms, ready to go.They can say that, but they can't say that about their friends!He Luoyang: "Come on! Let's have a fight! Let's finish this quickly, we still need to eat!"Qi Lie took a step back. In terms of pure strength, he, as the captain of the Blazing Fire Squad, was no match for Xie Bei, the captain of the Wild Wolf Squad.In terms of team strength, Blazing Fire Squadrelies entirely on numbers to win; if it really came down to a fight, they would certainly be nomatch for Wild Wolf Squad."Captain! Let's go. We still need to continue our exploration after we finish eating!""Hmph—I'll let you off this time, but I won't be so lenient next time!"Qi Lie snorted coldly and turned back to her camp.After the uninvited guests left, Xie Nan looked at Lin Anran curiously, " Song Chi is your ex-boyfriend? Shen Sirou is your best friend?"Lin Anran nodded generously, "To be precise, she was my former best friend; we're enemies now!"Xie Nan suddenly became excited, "So you secretly beat up those two adulterous couples last night?""Huh?" Lin Anran looked up in confusion. "What do you mean by secretly beating someone up? I usually do it openly and honestly, and I haven't even laid a hand on them yet!""They got a severe beating three or four times that night and are still in bed! Weren't they you?"Mother Lin: "It wasn't us, we don't know anything about it!"Lin Yu: "Yeah! Yeah! We didn't know when the beating happened, and they didn't even call me to come and see, haha~ right, Dad!""Um!"After that, the scene became unusually quiet. The Lin family members frantically shoveled rice into their mouths. They knew nothing about it, so don't ask them!Jiang Qinian: "...I, I did it, but I only beat him up...one time."The audience:...The Lin family members: That's why they were able to beat those two idiots so easily that night.Lin Anran chuckled softly. She had seen everything. They didn't want her to be wronged, so they secretly stood up for her."Okay! Let's eat quickly! After we finish eating, we'll go downstairs and take a look."The people around them ate their simple meals like chewing wax, smelling the aroma but eating the tasteless biscuits. They regretted it so much; they should have brought a pack of instant noodles with them. Waaah, they really wanted to eat meat!After dinner, Xie Nan volunteered to lead the Wild Wolf Squad to clean up the mess. He was indebted to them, so this task was quite easy.Lin Anran stood at the entrance to the basement, where a damp, rotten smell wafted out like waves."Ugh~" Lin Yu held her breath as hard as she could. This smell was terrible. Did someone pee or poop down there?Mother Lin pulled a pack of N95 masks out of her bag. "Luckily, I stocked up on a lot during the pandemic. Wear these quickly; they can at least block out some of the smell."Going down the stairs, the space was much larger than Lin Anran had imagined; even when it was full of people, it wasn't crowded.Father Lin: "So many people!"He held his wife's hand tightly, his eyes filled with wariness.Although there were many people, the workload was considerable. Even though most of them had supernatural abilities, they could only continue digging the tunnel with shovels.Lin Anran squatted on the ground and felt the ground with his hands; a slight vibration was heard rhythmically.Lin Yu also squatted down in a similar manner, "What's wrong? Sis, did you find anything?""Hmm! There's something down there. Let's go up first and come down again tonight.""good!"As the group emerged from the basement, Qi Lie, who had been observing them from the shadows, snorted coldly, "They can't hold on any longer."In his eyes, they couldn't stand the smell and fled in panic. This mission was one that the Blazing Fire Squad was determined to complete!
