Chapter 466: 258 Capricious (Second Update)
Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye didn’t venture too far after their departure, as the mountain forest was vast. Before the apocalypse, it might not have meant much, but post-apocalypse, nobody could be sure what might emerge within it.
Although the two were somewhat confident in their own strength, they dared not be reckless, especially since they needed to make haste toward Beishi City and naturally didn’t wish to waste time exploring the mountain forest. They hadn’t walked far when Fang Yuxin, right in front of Bai Ye, took out some fresh ingredients.
With the Ginseng Spirit tending to the spirit field, all the mature vegetables and fruits would be carefully picked and stored by it. Fang Yuxin could just take them directly from the warehouse. The warehouse was enhanced with a special Formation, which preserved the freshness of the contents. The vegetables Fang Yuxin brought out still had dewdrops clinging to them, looking crisp and inviting.
Each holding some items, they turned back. But upon returning to where they had parked, they discovered something off about the atmosphere. Upon inspection, they identified the problem.
The two people who had been infected with the Zombie Virus were both now, with Fang Yuxin’s help, able to survive the virus’s attack on their bodies and successfully Awakened to become superpower users. The others realized that the two who were considered as good as dead were now fortunate to become superpower users, naturally feeling quite complicated inside.
Fang Yuxin glanced over just once before withdrawing her gaze. She had already helped as much as she could; how far these two could go was up to them.
Next, she and Bai Ye took out cooking tools from the car and began to prepare a meal.
Being away from home, they couldn’t make anything too elaborate. Fang Yuxin first cooked a pot of ham with exotic mushrooms soup, and also boiled a few shell-on eggs in the water. After the water boiled, she added a handful of dry noodles and, as they neared readiness, threw in some fresh bok choy, blanching them briefly before turning the heat off.
The others made do with bread, cake, instant noodles, or biscuits. Not only were they insufficient to satiate their hunger, but they were also particularly dry. Although Fang Yuxin had purposely set up a small Barrier around the cooking area to contain the aroma, the other people watched as she added the ingredients one by one, and couldn’t help but salivate incessantly.
However, not a single person dared to come over and ask for food. Zhao Yan’s nephew, Zhao Liang, watched with envy but was admonished by Zhao Yan and dared not to offend. Even Liu Yihuan, the four-year-old daughter of Liu Zhenglin, just glanced once before drawing her eyes away, obediently leaning against Liu Zhenglin’s chest.
Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye scooped up the noodles and submerged the eggs in cold water. By the time they finished their noodles, the eggs were cool enough. Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye each took their share, and Fang Yuxin deliberately left one egg aside. She secretly took out a carton of pure milk from her space and, along with the egg, brought it over to Liu Yihuan.
By then, Liu Zhenglin and his daughter had already managed a simple dinner: Liu Yihuan with a piece of cake and Liu Zhenglin with just a packaged instant noodle, which was barely enough to fill the stomach.
Upon seeing Fang Yuxin approach, Liu Zhenglin was somewhat at a loss. He always remembered the kindness Fang Yuxin had shown him and never expected she would actually bring more food for his daughter, his handsome face flushing slightly, appearing quite awkward.
Embarrassed, he said, "The food is too precious, you... keep it for yourself. To be honest, what you’ve given already is more than enough, you needn’t... give us more."
Fang Yuxin patted Liu Yihuan’s head and saw her staring up with large curious eyes. She smiled at her and then told Liu Zhenglin, "It’s not anything precious. Your daughter is growing, you have to think about her needs."
After speaking, she pushed the items in front of Liu Zhenglin. He glanced at his daughter’s dry, yellow hair, and without hesitation this time, he looked at Fang Yuxin and said sincerely, "These items might not mean much to you, but for me and Huanhuan, they are extremely precious. Believe it or not, I, Liu Zhenglin, will never forget this kindness." Then he reached out and accepted the food.
Fang Yuxin didn’t take his words to heart. After delivering the items, she turned around and walked away. The others witnessed this scene but dared not comment. After all, Liu Yihuan was just a child, and they were adults. It was Fang Yuxin’s good fortune to give her special care, and these adults couldn’t possibly envy a child, nor could they deem Fang Yuxin’s actions as unfair.
They didn’t have the shamelessness for that!
