Cooking Gourmet Meals in the Apocalypse

Chapter 150: Chapter 147: Be Realistic

Chen Xing found it amusing.

’I guess the Lu Family didn’t tell them I’m not some ordinary person, huh?’

If an electric baton was enough to scare her, the Lu Family wouldn’t have needed to spend so much manpower and resources to deal with her.

Six men, each holding an electric baton, approached with vicious looks on their faces.

They were laughing so theatrically, as if afraid people wouldn’t know they were the villains.

”Wait!” Chen Xing shouted.

The Military Brigade Commander sneered, his face full of contempt. ”Scared now? Too late! Once you’ve had a taste of pain, you’ll learn to speak more politely in the future!”

Chen Xing shook her head.

’Are these guys idiots?’

’Didn’t they use the fact that I killed those Superpower Users at the entrance as a pretext to arrest me?’

’Even if they didn’t see it with their own eyes, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out I’m not someone who’d be captured without a fight, right?’

All she could say was, this Military Brigade Commander’s intelligence was in arrears.

And his men were just as lacking.

How could the Military Brigade Commander have known that Chen Xing had killed Old Mrs. Situ and the others outside?

He just thought someone was trying to frame Chen Xing.

As for her saving Captain Lu twice, in his eyes, that was just a fluke.

”Let me tell you, if you want to suffer less, you’d better behave in front of me! You’re just a brainless idiot. If you hadn’t mentioned that blockhead Lu Ze, I might have gone easier on you! The more you bring him up, the worse I’ll make it for you! Whether you live or die is for a judge to decide, but you won’t be spared a beating from me!”

”Why won’t you let me mention Captain Lu? It’s because you’re afraid of him, right?”

”Me, afraid of him? HAHA, what a joke! He’s just a measly captain, why would I be afraid of him? I could kill him anytime I want!”

”Oh!” Chen Xing laughed mockingly. ”So... Captain Lu is alive and well because you simply never felt like killing him? On his behalf, thank you so much!”

The Military Brigade Commander: ”...”

He was so furious he was about to explode.

He just wanted to shut her up right now!

”What are you all staring at? Beat her up!” he roared, losing control in his frustration.

Chen Xing smiled and looked toward the door. ”Military Brigade Commander, you’ve run out of chances!”

Just then, Vice General Du entered with his men.

Although Vice General Du was young and his rank wasn’t explicitly higher than the Military Brigade Commander’s, everyone tacitly acknowledged his competence.

”Military Brigade Commander, shouldn’t you be protecting the Commander-in-Chief? Why have you run all the way out here to meddle in such a trivial matter?” Vice General Du’s tone was clearly condescending toward him.

The Military Brigade Commander’s expression turned ugly, but he truly didn’t dare to provoke Vice General Du. ”I was in the area and received a report about a homicide here, so I just happened to come by! Vice General Du, your timing is perfect. This woman killed so many people, including Old Mrs. Situ. I doubt anyone can shield her now!”

He knew Chen Xing had gone to Baling with Vice General Du and the others, and he knew Vice General Du was definitely here for her.

However... he made himself very clear. Harboring the criminal who killed Old Mrs. Situ was tantamount to defying all authority.

Although the Situ family was in decline, their reputation still held some weight.

”Did someone see Chen Xing kill anyone?” Vice General Du retorted. ”Where is the person who filed the report with you?”

He understood Chen Xing relatively well.

Either she didn’t kill, or she killed cleanly.

She would never leave behind any evidence.

”Well...” The Military Brigade Commander had only come because he received an order; naturally, no one had actually filed a report.

And he couldn’t say anything else.

”Military Brigade Commander, you also know that these Superpower Users from the Situ family were each worth ten ordinary men. Could they really be killed by a young woman?”

”But, she’s the only one around, and... look at her, she still has bloodstains on her!”

Indeed, there were still some bloodstains on Chen Xing’s clothes.

”I came out to see what was going on and got it on me!” Chen Xing then casually pointed in a direction. ”I saw a dark figure run off that way!”

She just didn’t want to kill the Military Brigade Commander directly.

That’s why she had gone to the trouble of sending Song Yiguo a message to call Vice General Du over.

It was also why she’d wasted so much time talking nonsense, just to stall.

Otherwise, as someone who treasured words like gold, why would she have said so much to the Military Brigade Commander?

The Military Brigade Commander: ”...” ’She didn’t bother explaining a moment ago, but now that her savior has arrived, she’s got a story ready!’

From the moment Vice General Du appeared, he knew he wouldn’t be able to take Chen Xing away.

Although he didn’t have much actual ability, he was quite good at reading people and situations.

Especially when it came to those of a higher rank than him and their interpersonal relationships.

”Since this young lady is a witness, I’ll take her in to get a detailed statement. I’ll let her go once things are cleared up. Otherwise, I’ll have a hard time explaining myself to the Commander-in-Chief!”

’Are you kidding me!?’

’If you take her away, would you ever let her come back?’

”That won’t be necessary, Military Brigade Commander! As I was coming over, Young Master Song instructed me to be sure to bring Chen Xing to him!” Vice General Du’s tone left no room for negotiation. ”By the way, Military Brigade Commander, I’m afraid you may not know, but we borrowed a great deal of Chen Xing’s strength on our recent mission...”

The Military Brigade Commander: ”...”

Of course, he knew what that sentence meant.

Even if Chen Xing really had killed Old Mrs. Situ, they would protect her.

After all, the Situ family and the Song Family were already at each other’s throats.

In Baling, the Situ family had tried to kill Song Yiguo.

Now, even if Song Yiguo killed members of the Situ family in front of everyone, no one would dare say a word.

”I understand, I understand!” The Military Brigade Commander’s attitude became much more earnest.

Song Yiguo was usually amicable, but when his interests were at stake, he was absolutely ruthless in his killing.

Although he had a solid backer, he didn’t dare to openly clash with the Song Family.

”Thank you for your trouble, Military Brigade Commander!” Vice General Du ordered his men to take Old Mrs. Situ’s body and left with Chen Xing.

Leaving the Military Brigade Commander behind, his face green with anger.

’That Chen Xing is so infuriating, even more so than Lu Ze!’

When Song Yiguo saw Old Mrs. Situ’s body, he couldn’t have been more pleased.

When she was missing, he had no idea what malicious schemes she might be plotting.

He was especially worried that the Situ family would join forces with the other two families.

If that happened, he would have far too much to guard against.

He never expected Chen Xing to so casually eliminate Old Mrs. Situ. He believed the Situ family wouldn’t be able to stir up any more major trouble now.

”Chen Xing, I think you’re my family’s lucky star. You always bring us pleasant surprises!” He said this from the heart.

It seemed that as long as Chen Xing was around, his affairs went exceptionally smoothly.

Although, there were occasional dangers.

Chen Xing pursed her lips. ”Be more practical!” To her, empty words were useless; only tangible rewards mattered.

Song Yiguo: ”...” He had wanted to get closer to her and keep her by his side, but he never thought she’d just shut him down so directly.

Sigh...

’Looks like I’ll just have to think of another way!’

When Chen Xing wanted to leave, no one could stop her.

When she saw her beloved RV again, she discovered that Song Yiguo had ordered people to give it a luxurious upgrade.

Not only were the interior facilities upgraded to be just like a home, but even the exterior guardrails had been reinforced to be incredibly sturdy. She believed that ordinary zombies would no longer be able to damage the vehicle at all.

He had even added four spare tires, so if any tire blew out, a replacement could drop down immediately, allowing the vehicle to keep moving.

What satisfied her most was the roof.

He had thoughtfully installed a sunroom where she could grow fruits and vegetables, and all the glass was explosion-proof.

Although she could grow plants in her dimensional space, this was something she could show in the open.

After expressing her thanks and collecting her share of the profits from several vehicles, she left the Capital City.
