Chapter 116 - 116 Zheng Miaomiao

Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Zheng Miaomiao

The fragrance of the food wafted into the courtyard next door, and Sun Yixue, smelling the long-lost aroma of the meal, thought about the disdain from the group of people earlier and suddenly burst into curses.

Actually, the people on the bus had also hoped Sun Yixue would successfully strike up a conversation, perhaps allowing them to cling to a stronger party, but they hadn’t expected that the other group had a Space Element Ability User too. Or was it that Space Element Ability Users weren’t that rare after all?

“Smash!” Sun Yixue crushed a cup to pieces.

Sun Yixue was feeling absolutely terrible now, as this was the first time she had faced rejection since the Apocalypse.

After their unsuccessful attempt to cozy up, they simply moved in right next to that group of people, never expecting them to start cooking, with the tantalizing scent of food making their stomachs growl miserably.

In reality, Su Jin and the others hadn’t cooked at all; it was just that the food they took out from their Space was too fragrant.

Zheng Miaomiao unexpectedly found some rice in the rice bin of this house. If she cooked the rice into porridge, there should be enough for each of the dozen or so people to have a portion.

Moreover, the house had a gas cylinder. She shook it and felt there was still some gas inside, so she used her Water Element to fill a basin with water and then started washing rice to make porridge.

They could finally have a hot meal, even if it was just a bowl of porridge, it was still a luxury.

She didn’t think about the food next door anymore, that was their own thing and their own skill; she wasn’t shameless enough to just go there and cling to their leg.

The aroma of the rice porridge quickly spread to the living room. Sun Yixue smelled it, followed the scent into the kitchen, and found Zheng Miaomiao actually cooking porridge.

“Where did you get the rice?” Sun Yixue asked after a look around, wondering if Zheng Miaomiao had been hiding things behind her back.

“It was left over in this house, I just found it,” Zheng Miaomiao replied, focused on stirring the pot of rice porridge, for fear it would scorch, which would be such a waste.

“Hmmph, at least you’re somewhat useful. Make sure to bring me a bowl first once it’s done,” Sun Yixue said haughtily and then left.

Zheng Miaomiao didn’t respond and continued stirring the porridge in the pot.

“Miaomiao, are you cooking porridge?”

Liu Jiajin walked in and swallowed hard, saying, “This porridge smells amazing.”

By then, the porridge was ready. Zheng Miaomiao ignored Liu Jiajin behind her, washed the largest bowl she could find with Special Ability Water, filled it with a generous serving of porridge, and began devouring it. She didn’t care about anything else; what she ate was the real deal.

“Miaomiao, how can you just eat by yourself?!” Liu Jiajin kept on complaining as if the rice belonged to his own family.

After feeling a bit better in her stomach, Zheng Miaomiao refilled her bowl with porridge, shot Liu Jiajin a glare, and called out, “The porridge is ready! Everyone, come and eat~”

Watching a swarm of people rush into the kitchen, Zheng Miaomiao continued to eat her porridge with sly glee in her eyes, hoping the face-conscious Liu Jiajin could manage to snatch a bowl for himself.

Having finished her own bowl of porridge, Zheng Miaomiao also walked out, by which time the pot of porridge was nearly empty, leaving only a thin soup. Sun Yixue just came out of the toilet to see everyone in the room holding a bowl of porridge and eating.

“Zheng Miaomiao! Where’s my porridge?” Sun Yixue demanded as she approached Zheng Miaomiao.

“The porridge is all gone.”

“What? Didn’t I tell you to save a bowl for me!”

Sun Yixue was almost driven mad by anger; what kind of unlucky day was it today!

“Liu Jiajin said we shouldn’t hoard food, and told me to call everyone to eat together. I didn’t expect the porridge to run out so quickly,” Zheng Miaomiao said innocently to Sun Yixue. What she said was true; it was indeed Liu Jiajin who didn’t let her eat alone.

“Xiao Xue, listen to me explain, I didn’t mean to…” Liu Jiajin, holding his bowl, tried to explain to Sun Yixue.

“Get lost! You warty old toad!” Sun Yixue cursed without mercy.

“Pfft”

Someone who was eating porridge couldn’t help but spit it out when they heard that remark.

Zheng Miaomiao took the chance to slip out, she couldn’t hold it in; she needed to laugh for a bit.

She wiped away the tears that had come from laughing. Indeed, she had once thought Liu Jiajin was her Prince Charming, only to find out he was just a warty toad reeking of foul stench. She was thankful to Sun Yixue for allowing her to see a person’s true face.

Meanwhile, Su Jin and the others had finished their dinner and were playing with Local Tyrant Gold in the living room, completely unaware of and uninterested in everything happening next door.

The house they found today was quite spacious with many rooms, but Yin Chengtian and Shi Jin had decided to sleep on the living room sofas: firstly to keep watch more conveniently, and secondly because the fabric sofas looked comfortable and cozy to the point of being irresistible.

Local Tyrant Gold wanted to follow Su Jin and Lu Hao into their rooms but was picked up by Lu Hao and tossed onto a lazy chair in the living room.

“Chirp chirp chirp chirp”

Local Tyrant Gold hopped up and down on the bright red lazy chair in protest, but Lu Hao walked away without a backward glance.

“Chirp…”

Local Tyrant Gold dejectedly hugged its head with its hands and leaned on the sofa.

Yin Chengtian and Shi Jin laughed heartily, but unexpectedly, after a while, Captain Lu came out again and directly leaned on the sofa.

What’s up, did sister-in-law kick Captain Lu out?

“Xiao Tian, Shitou, do you two really want to have a Special Ability?” Lu Hao asked.

Liao Yifan had already sought him out individually to tell him about Yin Chengtian’s situation. Because there had been so many things happening along the way and they were not always in the same vehicle, he hadn’t realized that these two members had these thoughts.

“Of course, Captain! Now even monkeys have Special Abilities, and we’re still without,” blurted out Yin Chengtian.

“Is having a Special Ability really that important?” Lu Hao continued to ask.

“But, it seems like everyone has a Special Ability now, just leaving us two behind. We’re afraid of holding others back,” Shi Jin also spoke up.

“Remember this, I don’t care whether you two have Special Abilities or not. The zombies you’ve killed are no fewer than those killed by any Special Ability User, and I believe in the future, you two will definitely have the opportunity to awaken your Special Abilities,”

After saying that, Lu Hao got ready to stand up and leave. He joked to himself, eating and drinking in the Space all the time, how could the chances of awakening a Special Ability not be high?

“Yes, Captain Lu!”

A few simple words steadied the hearts of the two men. Yin Chengtian decided that he would never belittle himself again. He hadn’t realized that the captain had always cared for them so much; the captain was really too good to them.

Shi Jin also wiped his damp eyes with his sleeve. It was a relief the captain wasn’t chased out by his sister-in-law. That was good.

Local Tyrant Gold looked disdainfully at the two people on the sofa, not even wanting to let out a single chirp. It reached out its hand to pick up the peanuts left on the table, peeling them one by one.

“Local Tyrant Gold, can you perform Invisibility for us?” Shi Jin was curious. He hadn’t seen Local Tyrant Gold turn invisible before and was very eager to have a look now.

“Chirp chirp”

Local Tyrant Gold rolled its eyes and continued eating peanuts.
