Chapter 457: 253 Can’t Eat (Third Update)_2

At that time, others had already expressed their wishes for Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye to burn the remains of their loved ones. Fang Yuxin nodded, walked to the edge of the pit, cast a Gathering Fire Technique, and sent a fireball onto the bones.

After her cultivation, the flames she produced were entirely generated from Spiritual Energy. Although they looked no different from ordinary flames, they were much more powerful in reality. As soon as the fireball touched the corpses, it instantly spread into a small sea of fire, engulfing all the bones and burning silently.

Afterwards, Fang Yuxin prepared to repeat the process to burn the remains of the zombies and mutated crows together.

Someone couldn’t help but come over and cautiously asked, "Excuse me, mister, how do you plan to dispose of these mutated crows?"

"Mister" was the term used in their Safe Zone for superpower users, set by a leader among them. It sounded awkward, but the superpower users liked it, and the ordinary people below had no say.

The one who spoke was a young woman, apparently in her twenties, with modest looks. She didn’t dare look into Fang Yuxin’s eyes as she spoke, clearly very cautious. However, Fang Yuxin noticed her gaze repeatedly falling on the corpses of the mutated crows, and she occasionally swallowed her saliva, appearing desperately hungry.

Fang Yuxin guessed her intention and glanced at the others, realizing they all shared the same thought. She then said, "These mutated crows feed on carrion and carry lots of the Zombie Virus on them; they are absolutely not edible."

In fact, all mutated creatures carried some amount of toxins, varying greatly from those whose toxins were minimal and could be metabolized by a superpower user’s enhanced body to be safe to eat, to those whose toxins were abundant and absolutely inedible. However, if ordinary people consumed them, their bodies could suffer varying degrees of infection, not necessarily from the Zombie Virus, but potentially from other mutated toxins.

These people were clearly not faring well; they were starving, which was why they even considered the mutated crows’ meat—a well-known fact was that crows fed on carrion.

Upon hearing Fang Yuxin’s words, their faces turned to disappointment, and no one dared eat the mutated crows. Fang Yuxin then decisively burned both the zombies and the mutated crows to avoid temptation.

She hesitated for a moment, nodded at Bai Ye, returned to their vehicle, and took out some food and clean water from her space, placing it in a large bag to distribute to the survivors. "Here is some food and water, not much, but you folks split it among yourselves."

There were fifteen survivors, including two infected with the Zombie Virus. As soon as they heard there was food and water, they rushed over. Racing to Fang Yuxin, they abruptly stopped, looking uneasy in her presence.

A man from the vehicle, already very weak, couldn’t mind his discomfort when he heard about the food and came out holding his daughter. He was the last to arrive, and by the time he got there, the others had already begun to share out the food from the bag.

Since Fang Yuxin was watching, they didn’t dare take too much. They grabbed some food and retreated to the side to devour it voraciously. When the man approached with his daughter, he found bread, cakes, cookies, instant noodles, and bottled water all perfectly sealed inside the bag.

He couldn’t help but be surprised. After a moment’s hesitation, he still grabbed a packet of cookies and a bottle of water, gave his daughter a sip, and then opened the cookies for her.

In reality, Fang Yuxin had plenty of rice, but considering these people might not have cooking facilities, she didn’t bring it out, instead opting for ready-to-eat items.

Under normal circumstances, the bread and cakes in the bag should have been expired, which is why the man didn’t take any. After all, he had to consider whether his daughter might get sick from eating spoiled food.

The rest didn’t have such concerns. The bread and cakes appeared fresh, showing no signs of mold or spoilage, so they grabbed what they could. They were all adults and had survived over a month in the apocalypse—what did cautious eating matter to them now? Even if there was mold, they would still have eaten it.

Still, when they opened the packages, they instinctively sniffed, and after confirming there was no strange smell, they took a bite. The food, fresher and tastier than what they had been eating in the Safe Zone, seemed unspoiled, just as it was before the apocalypse.

They didn’t ponder the how or why, attributing it to special means available to superpower users. After realizing this, they felt even more awe and gratitude toward Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye.

These two not only provided them with food, but the food was also so fresh—a rarity in the apocalypse! Even if someone had such items, they wouldn’t readily share them with others!

A middle-aged woman chewing her bread felt a twinge of guilt. She felt she was on the brink of death and that eating these items was simply a waste of food. However, unwilling to give up, she hesitated before continuing to eat.

Seeing the man’s little girl struggling to eat her cookies, she whispered, "I see the bread and cakes look very fresh and unspoiled. You should get one for Huanhuan. Cookies are too dry, and bread or cake would be better for someone her age."

The man looked at her in surprise, then hesitated. Seeing his daughter struggle to swallow, he finally picked out a cake.
