Chapter 446: Chapter 446: 11 portions of Braised Meat

Xing Taining walked behind Lin Tianhui and Su Xiangzhe, listening to Lin Tianhui telling Su Xiangzhe their story while surveying the situation at the base.

The S City base gave them the feeling of peace and beauty, a sight so moving that it was hard to hold back tears.

“That over there is the Housing Management Center. If you want to rent a house, you can go there to handle the procedures,”

Lin Tianhui pointed out to the group, including the base canteen, garage, shanty area, dormitory area, and villa district, giving them a thorough introduction.

“Captain, this place seems like heaven…”

Lin Zhi murmured, comparing it to the desolate D City base, it was like night and day.

“Zip it, will you? We’re still alive,”

Xiao Ge couldn’t help but say, even though he too was amazed by everything around him. It was a darkening afternoon, and the temperature was dropping, but the scene before them felt incredibly warm and harmonious.

The only question was how the food was priced here, and how much they could get for the pile of Crystal Cores in their space.

After all, they were so hungry their vision was blurring.

The Heart Talk Branch wasn’t far, and the group quickly arrived. Lin Tianzhen was somewhat puzzled to see Lin Tianhui and Su Xiangzhe bringing over a crowd of people but was overjoyed upon learning they were there to buy goods.

Xing Taining and the others were stunned when they looked at the price list posted on the wall—only 20 Crystal Cores for a pound of grain?

Could there really be braised meat and eggs for sale? And the braised meat only needed 200 Crystal Cores per serving.

Such unbelievably low prices!

To think that in D City base, a bowl of thin porridge cost 500 Crystal Cores.

Many people felt that the energy expended killing so many zombies could not be replenished by a bowl of porridge, so they preferred to lie down and conserve energy in the base rather than go out to kill zombies.

“Sister-in-Law, oh, I mean boss, can we start with 11 servings of braised meat to try? And some of these flatbreads, plus some water,”

Xing Taining asked, swallowing hard.

Eleven servings?

Lin Tianzhen glanced at the number of people in Xing Taining’s group, which was indeed 11.

Lin Tianhui had already briefed her and Mao Zhihang on their situation, and knowing that they were probably very hungry, Lin Tianzhen simply nodded and hurried to the fridge to fetch the braised meat.

To save electricity, the shop’s fridge wasn’t plugged in; a daily application of Ice Element Special Abilities by Lin Xiuyuan was sufficient to keep it cool for an entire day, and the food freshly made in the space was generally stored in these large fridges.

“This braised meat is a bit cold; if you haven’t eaten all day, you might get a stomach ache from eating it. We also offer microwave service, although it costs an additional 100 Crystal Cores. Is that okay?”

Lin Tianzhen asked.

Microwave service too?

Xing Taining nodded, still in awe. Could they be any more considerate?

Actually, the microwave was rarely used in the base, but with the recent cold weather, there was a demand for this service. Though it was slightly expensive, strong teams pressed for time would request it.

The portion of braised meat was not small, much larger than they had imagined, and once heated in the microwave, the whole room was filled with its tantalizing aroma.

“This is… the smell of braised pig’s head meat,”

“No, it must be the smell of roast chicken,”

Lin Zhi sniffed greedily, as the others also kept swallowing hard.

“Don’t just stand there, there are seats over there,”

Su Xiangzhe, leading about a dozen people, walked over and signaled for them to wait here.

The braised pork was placed in a large porcelain basin, and Su Xiangzhe personally brought it over for them, his father-in-law’s culinary skills ensuring that these people would be hooked after just one taste.

Xing Taining put on a pair of disposable gloves and picked up a piece of lean meat with skin on it, taking a large bite.

The tender and fragrant taste made a dozen pairs of eyes widen.

At that moment, Su Xiangzhe also brought over a plate of thin pancakes and water. In fact, he wanted to say that wrapping the braised pork with the pancakes would taste even better, but they were clearly so engrossed in eating the meat that they couldn’t stop, which made Su Xiangzhe feel somewhat sad.

Even though these people looked down and out, they all sat there upright and orderly…

The cruelty of the apocalypse had not bent their spines.

Mao Zhihang also came out with Su Xiangzhe, deciding not to disturb them during their meal anymore.

“Wenbin, how many Crystal Cores are left in your Space?”

Xing Taining, after drinking a sip of water and picking up a few pancakes, asked.

“Hmm, I’m not sure, I haven’t counted them in a long time, but there should still be tens of thousands,”

Li Wenbin mumbled through the roast chicken in his mouth.

Xing Taining nodded. Fortunately, they had decided to flee from the D-city base on the spur of the moment. If he had been better prepared, he would probably have tried to trade all the Crystal Cores in his Space for supplies at the base.

Luckily, they hadn’t.

Xing Taining only ate until he was half full before standing up and walking toward the group that was chatting.

Meanwhile, outside the door, two armored vehicles stopped; it was Su Jin and her group arriving.

Xing Taining, having spent most of the day at the Base Hospital, had learned from Lin Tianhui that his older brother, Xing Taian, was still alive, although not at this base. Although he was slightly disappointed, he was relieved to know his family was still around—what could be a better feeling than that?

“Sister-in-Law Lin, I truly can’t thank you enough for today. Here is the money for the meal earlier,”

Xing Taining said sincerely. She had not only saved Zhou Chengren’s life in time but also informed them about many details of this base, and on top of that, made sure everyone had a full meal.

“How did you come here from D-city? Isn’t there supposed to be a base there too?”

Finally, Su Xiangzhe couldn’t help but ask, wondering if something had happened there.

Xing Taining sighed and briefly explained their situation in D-city; they had no choice but to leave.

“It’s a good thing we didn’t stay there; it was too terrifying,”

Lin Xiuyuan exclaimed after listening, reminding himself of the time when Deputy Zhang had tried to encircle them there.

“That was all thanks to Captain Xing,”

Su Xiangzhe remarked, implying that if Xing Taining had been in cahoots with Deputy Zhang, it wouldn’t have been so easy for them to escape.

“It’s only right; in this apocalypse, I only do what I consider to be right,”

Xing Taining said with a smile, indicating that they wanted to buy some more supplies.

“Captain, we might as well trade all the Crystal Cores in the Space for supplies, since they’re so cheap here. Back in D-city, a bowl of porridge goes for 500 Crystal Cores,”

Li Wenbin, having finished eating, ran over excitedly with a price list.

“Stop the nonsense, who doesn’t treasure their own supplies? Where would they have enough to trade with us? You think they’d stop doing business?”

Xing Taining said, looking around the empty shop, where, apart from a few pieces of paper, there was hardly anything left on the shelves.
