Cooking Gourmet Meals in the Apocalypse

Chapter 284: Chapter 281: Northern Big Shot Yu Laosan

Chen Xing had known for a while that zombies were following her.

It would be a lie to say she wasn’t the least bit surprised.

It seemed that, since her rebirth, this life was vastly different from her last one.

She had heard of Spiritual Zombies in her previous life, but... that wasn’t until several years later.

They had clearly appeared much earlier in this life.

Or perhaps she had just been too ignorant in her past life.

After looking around, Chen Xing finally took Meng Hu and entered her space.

’So what if there’s a Spiritual Zombie?’

’No matter how smart they are, if they can’t find me, they can only stare helplessly.’

After nightfall, hordes of zombies completely surrounded the building Chen Xing was in.

They scoured every corner of the building but couldn’t find her.

Meanwhile, Chen Xing leisurely ate watermelon and strawberries from her space, watching the zombies outside as if she were watching TV.

It was a bit of an appetite killer, though. The zombies were just too ugly.

They looked like people who had been skinned alive.

Unable to find their target, one of the less conspicuous zombies in the horde downstairs suddenly turned violent. With a sharp glint in its eyes, the head of the zombie next to it exploded.

Chen Xing was speechless. ’Spiritual Zombies are this powerful?’

Having pinpointed the Spiritual Zombie, Chen Xing was eager to make a move.

’I’d better eliminate this one quickly.’

Chen Xing immediately tossed out a grenade.

Before the grenade even landed, the Spiritual Zombie had already detected it.

The attack caused no casualties.

However, the Spiritual Zombie now knew Chen Xing was on an upper floor.

It stared resentfully at the floors above before finally choosing to leave.

But before it left, it actually went after Chen Xing’s RV.

’Son of a bitch!’

Even Chen Xing was shocked.

’This Spiritual Zombie is unbelievably perceptive! How did it know I care about this RV?’

Chen Xing watched in frustration as her little RV’s windows were smashed, its tires were burst, and its roof was torn off.

Fortunately, she hadn’t left anything inside the vehicle.

’I’ll remember this grudge!’

There were too many zombies. As long as the Spiritual Zombie was hidden within the horde, catching it wouldn’t be easy.

「The next day, Chen Xing left Shuiyuan City at dawn.」

Once she absorbed a special Spiritual Ability, she would definitely come back to kill this Spiritual Zombie.

Soon, she entered the North Sea region.

Previously, both Chen Dingbang and Lu Bingtian had been in the North Sea area.

It seemed these big shots were quite fond of the North Sea.

However, she hadn’t expected to run into a large group of Superpower Users right after entering the North Sea.

These Superpower Users were from different countries; the group of over a hundred people was comprised of members from at least twenty different nations.

Upon seeing Chen Xing, most of them looked excited, though a few eyed her with hatred.

They seemed to have been waiting here for some time, as their clothes were no longer clean.

”You’re Chen Xing! It has to be you!” someone exclaimed, pointing at her and pulling out a photo on their phone to compare.

Chen Xing and Meng Hu had already gotten out of the car.

Seeing so many Superpower Users, her eyes lit up.

’If I absorb all of their superpowers, I could level up several times. Maybe I’ll even find a rare superpower?’

”It’s her, alright!” Convinced that this was the person they had been waiting for for days, some were already preparing to attack.

Chen Xing was also ready to act. She stretched out her hand, about to perform the absorbing motion, when she heard a convoy of vehicles approaching from behind.

She had no choice but to stop.

Five vehicles arrived.

When the foreign Superpower Users saw more than two hundred people get out of the vehicles, they obediently retracted their powers.

’The big shot from the North, Yu Laosan?!’

’What is he doing here?’

Chen Xing didn’t for a second believe he was here to help her.

Yu Laosan wore a benevolent expression, flashing a friendly and sincere smile at Chen Xing. ”Hello, Miss Chen!”

”Hello!” Now was not the time to make a move, so Chen Xing played along.

Seeing that Chen Xing didn’t seem hostile, Yu Laosan’s face lit up as he asked, ”Are you in any trouble? Do you need my help? As a fellow Huaxia person, I can’t bear to see one of our own being bullied by foreigners!”

If she hadn’t seen how ruthlessly he had dealt with Mr. Li from the south, Chen Xing might have actually believed him.

When Chen Xing didn’t refuse, Yu Laosan immediately called over a translator.

The gist of his speech was that this was Huaxia, and he would not allow foreign ”friends” to attack his compatriots here.

Though he claimed to have little power, he would defend his compatriots to the death...

Chen Xing felt a little nauseous listening to him.

Seeing that Yu Laosan had more people, the other party gave up on the idea of attacking and watched helplessly as he led Chen Xing away.

Why did Chen Xing go with him?

Because he had over two hundred Superpower Users with him.

’If he dares to try anything, I don’t mind absorbing them all.’

Soon, they arrived at a property.

It was a three-story building on the coast of the North Sea, with a view of the sunset.

Behind it was a rocky mountain, its sparse trees long since uprooted, and the entire area was cordoned off by a high wall.

”This is my private property. Ordinary people can’t find it. You can lie low here for a while!” Yu Laosan said, putting on a facade of concern for Chen Xing.

Then, he arranged for Chen Xing to stay in a room on the third floor.

The kind of room with several people standing guard at the door, supposedly to ”protect” her.

As soon as she entered the room, Chen Xing immediately called Song Yiguo.

Because in the first-floor hall, she had accidentally glimpsed a photo of Lu Bingtian’s family through the slightly ajar door of the study.

「A few hours later, Song Yiguo came knocking.」

Yu Laosan hadn’t expected the visitor to be Song Yiguo, and his face was full of vigilance.

”I’m here to pick up Chen Xing!” Song Yiguo’s tone made it clear he knew she was here.

This left Yu Laosan momentarily at a loss for words.

When he recovered, he immediately put on a beaming smile and said, ”Young Master Song, why would you be looking for someone here? I don’t even know any Chen Xing. How could she possibly be here?”

”We both know perfectly well whether she’s here or not!” Song Yiguo wasn’t very polite with Yu Laosan. ”I don’t think Yu would want to stand in my way, would he?”

The threat was crystal clear.

If he dared to stop him, Song Yiguo would attack directly.

’Who cares if you’re the big shot of the North?’

Yu Laosan was caught in an extremely awkward position.

He didn’t want to just step aside!

He had shamelessly sweet-talked the young woman into coming here.

And he was supposed to just hand her over to Song Yiguo before he had even done anything? He couldn’t accept that.

But if he didn’t hand her over?

His own forces weren’t weak, but they were nothing compared to the Song Family Army’s Superpower Group.

From the last battle in the North, he knew he was no match for Song Yiguo.

That was why... he had teamed up with the Lu Family this time to capture Chen Xing.

Lu Bingtian hadn’t arrived yet. He really couldn’t bear to hand Chen Xing over now.

So, he decided to stall for time. Once the Lu Family Army arrived, he might have a chance to fight the Song Family Army.

”Young Master Song, don’t be so hasty. Come on in, let’s talk things over! We’re all Huaxia people, we can’t be fighting amongst ourselves!” Yu Laosan was used to being cunning.

This was his preferred method of dealing with people, though of course, only he knew if his intentions were sincere.
