Chapter 127

At noon, Chen Luo ordered more delicious food to be prepared, not specifically for Mengyin.

The members who had gone out spent their crystals extravagantly, living it up and having a good time. Those who stayed behind received an extra half pound of beef.

Chen Luo believed in treating his people well from time to time, to show his benevolence as their leader.

In one of the rooms, Shu Yun brought Mengyin inside. The room was clean and well-organized, far cleaner than the one Mengyin hadnt cleaned in two months.

Mengyin looked around in surprise and pleaded with Shu Yun, Sister, please let me go.

Shu Yun gently patted Mengyins head and said, I wouldnt dare to let you go. Besides, its safe here. Just stay with us, and no one will harm you.

Shu Yun pondered the situation. Why did Chen Luo bring her here, and why did she want to escape? He had instructed her to be kind, but she still seemed determined to run away. Although she was a pretty girl, she couldnt compare to Mi Li in terms of charm.

Shu Yun was concerned that if she stayed in the room, Mengyin wouldnt feel at ease, so she exited. There was no need for hostility between the two sides, and Shu Yun was confident that Mengyin would eventually eat something.

After Shu Yun left, Mengyin took a few steps closer to the table instinctively. However, she suddenly realized that she didnt want to lose her pride. She had said she wouldnt eat, and she would stick to her decision.

She felt that the person who had forcefully brought her here was very cruel. He had dragged her by her ears all the way to this place. After a fierce inner struggle, Mengyin lay back down on the bed, determined not to eat.

However, her mouth unconsciously made chewing motions. She murmured to herself, I wont eat. Ill just drink a bottle of soda. Drinking doesnt count as eating.

With a struggle, Mengyin grabbed a bottle of soda and reluctantly opened it. She took a small sip at first and then drank it down in large gulps. Strangely, the more she drank, the hungrier she felt.

Meanwhile, Chen Luo looked at the lunch spread on the table, which included braised pork. He said, Send a portion to the young girl we brought today.

He had promised to bring her back to enjoy a good meal, and he wanted to keep his word.

Mi Li volunteered to take the food to Mengyin. Mengyin looked several years younger than Mi Li.

Seeing the beautifully glazed braised pork, Mengyins defenses finally crumbled. This braised pork had no accompanying vegetables; it was pure, succulent meat. The flavor was slightly sweet, making it both rich and delicious.

Before the apocalypse, for someone who loved meat, just the sight of such braised pork was incredibly appetizing. Not to mention Mengyin, who had not tasted meat for over two months.

Mi Li chuckled softly, offered some comforting words, and then closed the door, leaving Mengyin alone with the food.

Mengyin couldnt help but drool; it was dripping onto the floor. She exclaimed, Braised pork, my favorite!

In the end, was it starving to death or giving in to the temptation of delicious food? Well, when faced with such a delectable meal, what was the value of pride?

Mengyin, who couldnt resist the allure of the braised pork, immediately picked up a piece and took a bite. Mmm, its so delicious!

Trying to gather information on our side, huh?

Well, lets have you report your findings first.

Both sides sent spies primarily due to Chen Luos public killing of Zhou Mingliang and the fact that the members only recruited up to level three. This had attracted their attention, and since Ye Gaofei had more people, he sent two spies.

Xiao Yu, whom Mengyin referred to as Little Fish, was a dark elemental ability user with offensive capabilities and a rare invisibility power.

At least, invisibility was quite rare at this stage.

Leveraging her invisibility, Xiao Yu could easily scavenge for supplies, but going outside with Mengyin was less ideal.

Zombies had slightly more sensitive noses than regular humans, but they were far from being able to detect human presence through scent alone. Could they sense if someone was nearby by smell?

Xiao Yu spent an entire afternoon and actually managed to trace her way here. Without any major mishaps, she memorized the license plate number of one of Chen Luos large trucks along the way.

After some meandering, she arrived at Chen Luos location safely.

The large truck was parked outside the residential area, and Xiao Yu deduced that Mengyin was most likely within the villa complex. She would need to take some time to search them one by one.

Xiao Yu first found a place to recharge her abilities and then boldly entered the villa area.

Xiao Yu was filled with worry. Could Mengyin have fallen into some kind of trap?

She thought to herself, Please, Mengyin, dont let that be the case. Im here to rescue you.

By evening, most of the rooms had their lights on.

Xiao Yu moved cautiously, searching the ground floor first. Normally, when she was near Thunderbolt King, he could discern the scent of a stranger, but now he had a toy chicken named Xiao Hong with them.

Thunderbolt King wouldnt bother sniffing around without a good reason.

Coincidentally, Xiao Yu found Mengyin. At that moment, Mengyin was happily feasting on the chicken meal provided by Chen Luo for dinner, savoring every bite.

Chen Luo had almost forgotten about this kind of fast food. With a chef on board, who would still eat this? Eating it once a month would be considered a lot.

Mengyin was devouring her food, her mouth smeared with oil, and her face beaming with happiness.

Xiao Yu stared in disbelief, and her composure shattered. Tears began to flow.

I was so worried about you, but here you are, eating like theres no tomorrow.
