Cooking Gourmet Meals in the Apocalypse

Chapter 295: Chapter 292: Joining the Song Family Army

A convoy of over a dozen vehicles approached from the distance.

A large truck was in the lead, followed by a luxurious multi-purpose vehicle in the middle, and then another dozen or so large trucks bringing up the rear.

’Looks like someone important!’

Chen Xing had been hoping to hitch a ride, but it seemed this convoy wouldn’t be one she could just hop into.

When the convoy drew closer, Chen Xing recognized the people inside the multi-purpose vehicle at a glance.

Although it was dark, her eyes had the ability to pierce through the blackness.

And who did she see?

Weren’t those Xu Anguo and Chen Dingbang? They seemed to have aged a little.

Apparently, they were also looking at her.

Upon seeing her face, the two men, who had been leaning back calmly in their comfortable seats, simultaneously sat bolt upright and stared at her in disbelief.

’Heh heh!’

Chen Xing was suddenly certain—this world was indeed her previous life!

The looks on their faces were as if they’d seen a ghost!

’This is actually quite fun!’

She deliberately put on an innocent expression, stuck out her hand, and called out, ”Can I get a ride?”

The multi-purpose vehicle, which had been about to pass Chen Xing, suddenly stopped.

Chen Xing ran over with a harmless look on her face. She deliberately avoided looking inside the car and instead said to the driver, ”I’m heading to the Capital City. Would it be convenient to give me a ride? Thank you!”

The driver had already received his orders. ”Get in!”

After getting in the car and seeing Xu Anguo and Chen Dingbang, Chen Xing even gave a deliberate nod of thanks. ”Thank you, you’re such good people!” It was the most insincere thing she had said in two lifetimes.

The two men still couldn’t quite believe it. How could a dead person come back to life?

’Or maybe she just looks like her?’

”What’s your name?” Xu Anguo asked with the air of a respectable teacher, making it hard for anyone to be on guard.

”My name is...” Chen Xing couldn’t use her real name; she had used it in her last life. ”Xing Yue!” She acted quite talkative.

Xu Anguo and Chen Dingbang exchanged a look, their silent conversation finished, then turned to stare ahead without speaking.

Chen Xing was happy to be spared the small talk, lest she let her disgust show.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a long journey, and they soon arrived at the Capital City.

”Xing Yue, was it? Are you in the Capital City to find someone?” Xu Anguo wanted to know her purpose for coming here.

Chen Xing nodded.

”Who are you looking for? Perhaps we can help you!”

”I’m looking for Young Master Song, Song Yiguo!” Chen Xing said it as if the two of them were very close.

In this life, Song Yiguo probably didn’t even know who Chen Xing was, let alone be someone she could meet just by asking.

Hearing that she was looking for Song Yiguo, the expressions on Xu Anguo and the other man’s faces soured slightly. ”We wish you the best of luck!”

Chen Xing: ”...” ’There’s a hidden meaning in that statement!’

But... right now, Song Yiguo was her only hope.

All those other people were her enemies.

Because she was with Xu Anguo, getting into the Duole Safety Zone was surprisingly easy.

However, meeting Song Yiguo was not so simple.

She stood at the entrance to the Four Great Families’ compound and said a lot to the guards on duty, but no one was willing to announce her.

Song Yiguo... Who would be willing to risk getting rebuffed by him right now?

’They can’t even hide from him fast enough!’

Chen Xing felt rather helpless.

Just as she was at her wit’s end, Vice General Du rushed back from outside.

He was as handsome as ever; it seemed the past ten years had left no trace on his face.

When he saw Chen Xing, his gaze merely swept past her, because he didn’t know her at all.

”Vice General Du...” Chen Xing immediately called out to him.

Vice General Du turned his head, his eyes landing on Chen Xing’s face. ”What is it?” His tone was curt and unfamiliar.

”I’m a Healing Ability User, and I’d like to see Song Yiguo... Young Master Song!” Chen Xing had no choice but to use the deferential title ”Young Master Song.”

After all, in this life, she hadn’t saved his.

”We have Healing Ability Users!” Although they were supposed to recruit any Healing Ability User they found, they couldn’t just take in someone of unknown origin.

Chen Xing: ”...”

’Fine!’

Seeing that Vice General Du had already gone inside, Chen Xing had no choice but to shout, ”My Healing Ability is Level Nine!”

The moment she said that, Vice General Du immediately turned back around.

A Level Nine Healing Ability User had to be recruited, no matter how unknown their origin.

He immediately led Chen Xing into the residential area of the Four Great Families.

Unsurprisingly, Chen Xing did not get to see Song Yiguo.

Vice General Du arranged for her to be placed in the Song Family Army’s medical system.

They had three Healing Ability Users, but their Levels were only Six, Seven, and Eight.

The one who had reached Level Eight had only recently managed the promotion after being supplied with Crystal Cores by the entire safety zone.

They couldn’t afford to keep supplying the other two; it was too much of a drain on their Crystal Cores.

They could only let them level up slowly on their own.

When Chen Xing was assigned, no one explained the situation clearly.

Vice General Du just dropped her off at the medical system and left in a hurry.

The three Healing Ability Users consisted of one man and two women, and one of the women was, surprisingly, Situ Yuanyuan.

After ten years, Situ Yuanyuan no longer seemed so glamorous and radiant; fine wrinkles had appeared at the corners of her eyes.

It seemed she received special treatment here, sitting in the main seat with an air of superiority.

Even the captain of the medical system had to stand aside for her.

’Well, of course. Who is she, after all?’

The daughter of Situ Lei Hao.

In this life, she hadn’t gotten entangled with these people, so logically, Situ Yuanyuan shouldn’t have a reason to target her.

Apparently, she was wrong.

Her face alone was enough to make Situ Yuanyuan wary.

”Where are you from?” The captain of the medical system, seeing the unfriendly look Situ Yuanyuan was giving Chen Xing, didn’t bother being polite.

”Hualai City!”

”Since you’ve joined our medical system, you’ll need to cooperate with our work from now on. Our work is usually quiet, and most of the time we’re idle. But when things get busy, you have to drop everything and devote all your energy to saving people!”

The captain began to introduce the members of the team. ”This is Wang Quan, a Level Six Healing Ability User. This is Chen Ming, who is at the Seventh Level. And this is our Level Eight big shot, Miss Situ Yuanyuan. You might not know, but Miss Situ is the eldest daughter of the Situ Family...”

His every word was filled with flattery for Situ Yuanyuan.

Chen Xing played along. ”Greetings, esteemed seniors!”

Hearing Chen Xing call them ”seniors,” they immediately guessed that her Healing Ability wasn’t as high as theirs.

A look of disdain flashed in Situ Yuanyuan’s eyes.

”Stick with us and do a good job, and your superpower will level up sooner or later!” The captain’s words sounded like encouragement, but they were really a reminder for her to know her place.

Here, her Level was the lowest, so she would be last in line for everything.

After two days, Chen Xing learned that something had happened to the Song Family.

Just like in her previous life, his parents were dead, and Yan Junxi had also died not long ago.

’No wonder those guards at the gate were unwilling to announce me.’

’I suppose no one dares to provoke Song Yiguo right now, huh?’

Chen Xing had heard this news from the aunties in the kitchen.

She had even wasted a few Advanced Crystal Cores for this bit of information.

Coming out of the kitchen, she headed back toward the medical system’s area.

Since she couldn’t rely on Song Yiguo, her only option was to cooperate with Xu Anguo to find Cheng Fang.

But before she reached the medical system, she saw Chen Dingbang standing up ahead.

It had to be said, his features were still so bewitching they were stunning.
