Chen Yuting’s words gave those people a second surprise. Did it mean that they would have endless meat to eat in the future? It was extremely difficult for people to hunt healthy animals for meat in the post-apocalyptic environment. All bases had tried very hard to find healthy animals and keep them as a source of meat. However, that kind of luxury was only for the powerful people, and they surely would not share it with the commoners.

But just now, Chen Yuting had told those people that their Chief had found a way to remove the virus from the bodies of mutated animals and make those animals edible. A on number of strong mutated animals were out there. Now, people could just hunt them down and eat them.

Therefore, meat wouldn’t be scarce in All Being Base, and even commoners would be able to afford it.

…

In the afternoon, Lin Qiao left Black in the pool to continue absorbing the energy and returned to the hotel with her zombies. The farm still needed to be guarded, in case some intruders or dangerous creatures came to do damages. So, Lin Qiao left zombie number one to five in the farm.

The humans in the base had meat to eat, and so did the zombies. Lin Qiao didn’t have a huge number of zombies under her direct command, so not too many roe deers would be consumed by them. But still, they all had a good appetite, and each ate a lot.

Lin Qiao kept a few roe deers in her place to breed, and killed the others for meat. She even caught quite some large rats from the hills near the farm to make her zombies an extra meal.

Before returning to the hotel, Lin Qiao caught a few big rats for some other zombies to try, and see if the rats would cause repulsion. Except for a couple of clean freaks, most of those zombies accepted it.

Lin Kui had more rats than all the others…

Lin Qiao watched him eat a lot of rats, which were even double the size of regular cats. He enjoyed the rats so much that he couldn’t even stop. The way he ate those rats reminded Lin Qiao of cats. He might have the gene of mutated cats, but he was not a real cat!

She wanted very much to tell him,?‘You’re a panther! Don’t forget about that! Are you a talking cat?’

But of course, if she said that out loud, Lin Kui would certainly roll his eyes and tell her—?‘Panthers eat meat, and rats have meat. What’s wrong about that?’

By the time she returned to the base, the food was already served on the table. Apart from the Lin Family members, Yuan Tianxing, Long Qingying, and some close friends of the family were also invited to the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Lin Qiao sat down along with the others. However, she had no food, but a glass of brandy before her.

She ate raw meat, and all the others knew about it. However, she couldn’t put a plate of raw meat on the table together with all that well-cooked food. No one wanted the children to see that.

“What does the brandy taste like to you?” Yuan Tianxing asked Lin Qiao curiously. Right at that moment, they had become more like goods friends, just like the old days they spent in the army. They had both temporarily forgotten about their current identities and status.

Lin Qiao took a sip of the brandy, then shook her head and said, “It’s tasteless…”

Lin Feng, who sat beside her, reached out a hand and dragged her glass to his side as he said expressionlessly, “Don’t waste it then.”

“Can’t I pretend to enjoy it?” Lin Qiao said.

Yuan Tianxing looked at her as he smiled and spread his hands, “I’m fine with it. It’s Lin Feng who doesn’t want to waste the brandy.”

Lin Wenwen, who was sitting on Lin Qiao’s other side, glanced at Yuan Tianxing, but didn’t say anything as she picked a piece of meat and put it in her mouth.

Lin Hao filled Yuan Tianxing’s glass with brandy, then poured some for Lin Hao, who was by his side. Liquor and wine could be preserved for a long time, but after the apocalypse, less and less of it could be found.

Except for the three men, the others were having fresh strawberry juice.

Lin Xiaolu was holding a glass of juice with both hands. While enjoying the juice, she had also been listening to the conversation between the adults with curiosity. Cheng Wangxue put some food in her bowl and said to her, “Eat something. You don’t want to fill your stomach with juice.”

At last, the three men drank up the two bottles of liquor that Lin Feng had found. They all had superpowers, so it wasn’t easy for them to get drunk.

As the dinner was over, Mrs. Lin and the others went back to Mrs. Lin’s room to play cards. The winners were allowed to draw on the losers’ faces. They didn’t have many ways of entertainment to choose from, only cards or majiang.

Lin Xiaolu and Tongtong were running about in the room, trying to catch the rabbit. The rabbit now liked to play with the two kids, maybe because it had become friends with them.

Lin Qiao played cards with Mrs. Lin and the others at first, but quit after a few rounds and asked Long Qingying, who had been sitting aside and watching, to take her place.

Mrs. Lin asked questions about her baby every now and then. Lin Qiao only told her that her pregnancy wasn’t the same as that of healthy human beings, and that it wasn’t affecting her too much recently.

After spending a short while in Mrs. Lin’s room, Lin Qiao felt that someone was behind the door. That person wasn’t making any movements, but was standing behind the door quietly. Lin Qiao couldn’t tell what he wanted.

“I’m going out to get you something to eat. You guys keep playing,” Lin Qiao stood up as she left a few words, then walked toward the door.

“Go.” The others nodded and continued the game.

Lin Qiao opened the door and walked out of the room. After closing the door, she turned to Yuan Tianxing, who was standing at the door side, and asked, “Do you need help?”

Yuan Tianxing looked at her as he put out the cigarette in his hand and said, “I want to… talk to you.”

Lin Qiao looked at him. The hallway wasn’t well-illuminated. Under the dim light, Yuan Tianxing slightly dropped his eyelids, with his lips pressed together. He seemed to have made some kind of important decision.

“Em, come here,” Lin Qiao had a not-so-good feeling, but didn’t reject him. Instead, she turned and headed toward the roof.

Yuan Tianxing followed behind her, looking at her slim and straight back with infatuation.

Her appearance had changed a lot, but the feeling that she gave people was never different. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have noticed her before she revealed her real identity.

He had lost her once. After that, he didn’t want to keep burying his feelings deep down in his heart like he always did. He never stopped loving her, even though she had become a zombie.

Before, he was busy every single day at building the new base. He had no time to think about that. Later on, he told himself that being with her was enough for him. However, every time she left the base for missions, he panicked for some reason.

He was afraid that she wouldn’t come back. Meanwhile, he was aware that he could not stop her.

On the roof, Lin Qiao crossed her arms before her chest and leaned against the guardrail, with her back to the outside. Then, she looked at Yuan Tianxing and sighed, “Tell me.”

She didn’t even need to read Yuan Tianxing’s mind to find out what he was thinking. She understood that she needed to face it one day. Therefore, she didn’t reject him.

“You…” Yuan Tianxing raised his head and looked at her. His lips moved slightly, yet only one word escaped his mouth. The look in his eyes gave Lin Qiao a headache.

The deep feelings contained in those eyes were like a whirlpool which seemed ready to even suck her in.
