Chapter 78

What did Mi Li have for lunch?

Zhang Jingjings question left the other girls momentarily puzzled. They werent three-year-old children, and apart from occasionally eating together, Chen Luo usually ate in his own villa room.

Chen Luo wouldnt be hiding in his room, eating steamed buns with pickled vegetables, would he?

Chen Luo had mentioned that he had stored a considerable amount of pork in his refrigerator and would have the opportunity to make braised pork for everyone.

Hmm, perhaps they used to eat braised pork every day, and now its braised pork with sausages.

Every item they collected, whether it was through their efforts in gathering, loading, or unloading, they had a hand in it. How could they not know what delicious food there was and what they had acquired?

The best thing is the sausages. If they didnt distribute any to them, they would surely be dissatisfied. But Chen Luo gives them sausages every day, and the portions are generous.

They are already satisfied to be able to have sausages every day.

Even if Chen Luo ate braised pork for every meal, it was something he had obtained for himself beforehand.

Besides, Chen Luo is also responsible for protecting everyone. Whats wrong with enjoying some braised pork?

One of the girls laughed and said, Mi Li probably had sausages for lunch too.

Theres nothing wrong with that statement, but it caused another girl to scoff.

Zhang Jingjings words made Shu Yun furrow her brow.

It seemed like there was an element of comparison in her words. Cant you be satisfied with sausages and potatoes? Its not like you and Mi LAI have a particularly close relationship. You just arrived, and you havent shown any contributions. Theres no way youll be given such privileges to eat those.

However, Zhang Jingjings comment was just a casual remark, and Shu Yun couldnt draw any conclusions based on a single sentence.

Shu Yun smiled and explained, Chen Luo is like the boss, and we are like employees. It always feels uncomfortable to eat together with the boss, so we prefer to eat separately.

Zhang Jingjing nodded, but she seemed restless.

Mi Li must be eating something better, and were such good friends, yet she didnt invite me.

Zhang Jingjing felt a bit sad, and the previously fragrant sausages seemed less appetizing.

Chen Luo picked up a saltwater prawn, dipped it in vinegar, and put it in his mouth. It was delicious.

Chen Luo said to Mi Li, Mi Li, observe your friend for a while. Dont reveal anything about us.

Chen Guang and Shu Yun curiously asked, Whats going on?

Chen Luo explained, Didnt you see any survivors fleeing along the road? They will definitely be scavenging for supplies. Its impossible that nobody will come to us.

There were still scarce resources in other places, but nobody would wait until the supplies were depleted before searching for more.

Humans are like squirrels, unable to resist the urge to constantly search for supplies to feel secure, especially when the surrounding area is mostly free of zombies. They would become bolder.

Chen Guang sighed, Its really unsettling.

Chen Luo said, Take some people to guard the entrance of the community. Use the bus and keep the air conditioning on. Otherwise, it would be too hot. If theres any situation, use the walkie-talkies to communicate.

By the way, bring that newcomer, Zhang Dongcheng, with you and see how he performs, Chen Luo instructed.

Chen Guang nodded in response.

Chen Luo then turned to Shu Yun and said, As for Zhang Jingjing, no need to treat her differently.

Shu Yun suddenly realized that Zhang Jingjing wasnt a privileged member.

In the future, there might be survivors every day wanting to enter the villa area. It would be impossible to peacefully kill zombies without interruptions.

Living in the apocalypse is exhausting. Besides guarding against zombies and acquiring resources, one also has to be wary of other survivors stealing or looting their belongings.

In Chen Luos past life, he didnt have such worries. He only had to worry about others, but dont ask why.

Without resorting to strict and ruthless methods, one couldnt establish deterrence.

A cold intent flickered in Chen Luos eyes. If he didnt kill a few people to establish his authority, he wouldnt be able to stand firm.

Hanging dozens of bodies at the entrance, lets see if anyone dares to intrude.

Except for the entrance of the residential area, the rest was surrounded by high walls. The security was already good even before the apocalypse, making it difficult for ordinary people to sneak in.

Chen Luo initially wanted to block the entrance of the residential area, but he couldnt do so. It would be inconvenient for him to come and go, especially when they needed to transport supplies in the future. They couldnt rely on walking all the time, right?

Chen Guang and his team enjoyed the comfort of the air-conditioned bus. After several days of continuous killing, they finally had a rare opportunity to relax. It felt so good.

Word spread that there was an air-conditioned bus, attracting people to gather around. They enjoyed the cool air while observing the situation outside the residential area.

After about ten minutes, several cars approached the direction of the residential area.

Chen Guang furrowed his brow and got off the bus.
