Cooking Gourmet Meals in the Apocalypse

Chapter 338: Chapter 336: Healing Ability User Chen Ming

”Fuck, since when was there a giant metal plate here?”

”I don’t think it was here yesterday morning, was it?”

”This is creepy as hell!” They’d sooner die than believe that something so heavy was the work of that fairy-like woman.

Having tried every way to get in, they came back outside and shouted up, ”Hey beautiful... the beauty staying at the XX Hotel...”

After they had shouted a dozen or so times, Chen Xing finally walked to the edge of the balcony to look down.

”Hello, we’re staying at the hotel next door! We mean no harm!”

The one who spoke was a woman, who put on a kind and affable smile for Chen Xing.

If it weren’t for the brutish men behind her, some people might have actually been swayed by her act.

”Oh,” Chen Xing said, leaning leisurely against the railing.

She was only a dozen or so stories up, and with her enhanced vision, she could see each of their expressions clearly.

’Oh?’

’What does she mean by ’Oh’?’

The group was confused.

At that moment, a figure who had been hiding motionlessly in the distance, seemingly after a long internal struggle, finally ran toward the group downstairs.

Chen Xing had noticed him the whole time but couldn’t get a clear look.

When he got closer, she saw that it was actually Chen Ming?

Chen Xing was a little surprised.

’In my past life, he was the Song Family’s Healing Ability User.’

’His character was good, wasn’t it?’

’How did he end up mixed up with people like this?’

’Could my rebirth have caused such a drastic change in his personality?’

Just as she was pondering this, Chen Ming ran up and tugged on Li Lei, saying, ”Brother Lei, since we can’t get in, I think we should just forget it!”

’Looks like he isn’t rotten to the core after all.’

Chen Xing studied Chen Ming’s expression.

His eyes held timidity and fear, yet he still forced himself to try and stop his boss.

”What do you know?” Li Lei shoved Chen Ming away, nearly knocking him over. ”She’s a Space Ability User! Who knows what kind of good stuff she has in her space! Besides, wouldn’t another person be a good thing for our team? It’s so dangerous for a woman to be on her own. How could she be safer than with our protection?”

He kept his voice low, thinking Chen Xing wouldn’t be able to hear from so high up.

”Brother Lei...”

”Alright, just shut your mouth!” Unwilling to hear any more nagging from him, Li Lei shot him a glare, then looked up at Chen Xing and said to the woman beside him, ”It’s all up to you!”

The woman nodded and smiled again. ”Our team is full of offensive-type Superpower Users, so you won’t have to worry about safety if you’re with us. And let me tell you...” She pulled Chen Ming forward from behind her. ”He’s a Healing Ability User. If you get hurt, he can treat you. He can even cure the zombie virus.”

Chen Xing nodded, showing no other reaction.

’So... Chen Ming’s superpower is still the Healing System?’

’Song Yiguo’s team is in desperate need of Healing Ability Users.’

’If... if Chen Ming can still be saved, having him join the Song Family Army would be a good thing for both of them.’

”I don’t need protection, but... I wouldn’t mind making friends with a Healing Ability User!” Chen Xing shouted down.

Hearing this, Chen Ming backed away to the very rear of the group, frantically waving his hands at her, trying to tell her not to do it.

Seeing he had an in, Li Lei dragged Chen Ming out and pushed him to the front. ”He’s the one... You can come down and have a good chat with him!”

”All of you, back off. I’ll only talk to him alone. Otherwise, I’m not coming out!” Chen Xing said, acting as if she hadn’t seen Chen Ming waving his hands.

He was about to die from anxiety.

When Li Lei heard there was a chance, he grinned. ”No problem!” Before leaving, he shot Chen Ming a vicious glare and snarled, ”You’d better be sharp!”

Then, the group retreated, falling back toward their own hotel.

Chen Xing flickered and entered an invisible mode.

Chen Ming didn’t know what to do. As he hesitated, Li Lei shot him another glare before slowly moving toward his hotel.

As for Chen Xing, she waited until Li Lei and his group were far away, then flickered and used her Jiezhi Space to appear downstairs, reaching out to open the metal plate.

Just then, Chen Ming heard Li Lei’s group returning and immediately shouted at Chen Xing, ”Run, they’re coming back!”

”You get in first!”

Seeing Chen Xing standing inside, Chen Ming had no choice but to quickly run over, intending to grab her and run upstairs.

He didn’t know if it would do any good, but he couldn’t just stand by and watch a woman fall into a den of wolves.

The moment Chen Ming was inside, Chen Xing’s metal plate slammed shut.

Only then did Chen Ming realize she was a dual-attribute Superpower User.

Li Lei and his men had just caught a glimpse of Chen Xing’s face, as tantalizingly pink and tender as a Water Honey Peach.

’We have to get her!’

”Go get Little Mouse!” Li Lei had discovered that the beautiful woman was not only a Space Ability User but also a Gold Attribute Superpower User.

’My team has a Gold Attribute Superpower User, so we should be able to get through this barrier, right?’

Before long, the one called Little Mouse was brought over.

He worked his power on the large metal plate for a while, but the damn thing didn’t budge.

”Aren’t you a fucking Gold Attribute Superpower User? Didn’t you say you could control anything made of metal?” Li Lei roared.

Little Mouse said guiltily, ”Boss, my superpower is only Level Five. For this thing... I estimate I’d need to be Level Six to control it!”

”Fuck!” Li Lei fumed.

His only hope now was that kid, Chen Ming.

But... he didn’t quite trust him.

That kid Chen Ming had a one-track mind. He’d been with him for a while now but just couldn’t seem to grasp the situation.

If it weren’t for the fact that he was part of the Healing System, he would have gotten rid of him long ago.

Furious, all he could do was stand guard by the large metal plate.

Meanwhile, Chen Xing had already taken Chen Ming upstairs.

”Although your metal plate can block them for now... it’s not necessarily safe. And I’m from the Support System, so I can’t fight them at all. I can’t help you with much. You should find a chance to escape as soon as possible!” Chen Ming wanted the seemingly naive girl to understand the gravity of the situation.

Chen Xing seemed not to have heard him at all, asking instead, ”What Level is your Healing Ability?”

Chen Ming: ”...”

”Level Four!”

”Only Level Four? The apocalypse has been going on for over a year. A lot of people have pretty high Superpower Levels by now!”

”I can’t do anything but heal, so I don’t get any Crystal Cores to level up!” Chen Ming said helplessly.

He had been in quite a few teams.

As a support member, he saved many lives, but after the Crystal Cores were collected, the others would complain he hadn’t contributed and refuse to give him a share.

He only reached Level Four half a month ago after joining Li Lei’s team. A teammate got infected with the zombie virus while killing zombies, nearly endangering everyone, and only then did Li Lei and the others think to let him level up.

Li Lei was also worried that if he himself got infected, there would be no one to treat him, which is why he reluctantly spared a portion of the cores for him.

’Alright!’

’I guess this is how it is in civilian teams?’

’After all, killing a zombie isn’t easy. Who wouldn’t want to become stronger themselves?’

”They wake up late in the morning. We just have to get through tonight, and first thing tomorrow, you leave this place!” Chen Ming hadn’t forgotten about her escape.

Chen Xing knew he meant well, which was why she had decided to help him. ”You can stay in the room next door tonight. We’ll talk about tomorrow, tomorrow.”

She had only just arrived and was planning to stay here for a while.

’Why would I leave before I’ve worn down that group of people who are after me?’
