Chapter 225: Chapter 225: An Emotional Meal

Li Wan listened to her son say ’my big sister’ repeatedly and was surprised. She had taken his statement before as a joke. She had not expected him to be serious about working hard to get stronger and protect Chu Miao.

She didn’t want to douse her son’s dream and just smiled. Chu Miao was so strong, how could she need a child’s protection?

However, since he had the motivation to work harder, there was no need to pour cold water on his expectations of himself.

Therefore, she didn’t say anything and neither did Zhao Lu who was sitting beside his wife and listening to his son brag.

Chu Miao with her enhanced hearing as a cultivator heard everything the little boy said. She just smiled and decided to start his training sooner.

Having such a boy who had more determination than some adults would be good to motivate others. She hoped that his fighting spirit was still as strong as the day he fought against the zombie virus and won.

Just as she and Ye Xuan were starting to drink their soup, her mother, father, and the butler walked into the room.

They went straight to her grandfather’s side and he announced the start of the meal.

"Everyone, eat as much as you want. Don’t worry about there not being enough food. If you finish what’s on the table, there is more. So, eat without worry." Grandpa Chu said this because he was afraid some of the people would try to spare food for later.

Their family was already wondering where they would take the excess amount of food and meat that had almost overflowed out of the store room in the space ring.

Now that there are enough people to eat, of course they will have them eat as much as possible.

Everyone felt as if the General was playing the best music for them. It had been a while since they heard such words. Being told to eat their fill without worry. It had been a long time indeed.

Supplies were becoming scarcer by the day and the spread of zombies was making scavenging a difficult task. Not to mention the persistent rain that has flooded many shops and shopping malls.

Now if they wanted to get some supplies, the soldiers had to either dive into the water and salvage whatever they found, or find high-rise buildings and check what could be found in the top floors.

What made things almost impossible was the rigid stand of their leaders. Soldiers could not go out to look for personal supplies and use them. Even if they scavenged and found something, they had to submit them to the base.

In the end, they might not even get anything as everyone is placed in storage with other supplies. What was more, some of the leaders in both military and central government had taken over the biggest shops and gas stations with the majority of the supplies in them being confiscated.

Now, such places didn’t have many things to find. With all these factors combined, the soldiers end up suffering. Especially those who do not support the actions of the current leaders.

They get ostracized or sent on dangerous missions to eliminate zombies. One such team is Qi Long’s.

Even though the leaders had made it look like it was a noble mission to protect the scientists of the country by killing zombies outside the research institute, it was actually a suicide mission.

This was also why they had waited for almost a month for reinforcement but no movement was seen. If Ye Xuan had not appeared and cleared all the zombies there, thus, giving the remaining soldiers a chance to survive and go back to the base, they would have perished there.

In such cases, you could not expect such selfish leaders to provide the best food and drinks to the soldiers.

Hence, these soldiers had been eating either dry rations for weeks, or instant noodles boiled in hot water.

They had practically forgotten what meat, vegetables, and fruit look like. That was why they had been so happy to just drink soup and smell meat when the dishes were placed on the table.

The soldiers were afraid of eating such good food at the moment and even though given permission, they remained seated. No one went to serve themselves food.

Seeing their behavior, Chu Hao was the first to stand up and walk over to the tables lined with hot pots filled with all kinds of dishes.

There was braised pork, stir-fry beef, and fish cooked in different ways. There were also other types of meat including chicken and also turkey.

Vegetables either stir-fried, steamed, or even boiled were available. There was rice and even quinoa.

For any food lover, this was paradise where they could sample different dishes and find out what they liked the most.

For the soldiers in the room, this was more than paradise. This was a scene they never thought they would see again in their lives.

The tough men almost wanted to stand up and worship someone. They just didn’t know who to worship.

Qi Long who brought them out of the base, Ye Xuan who took them in without asking questions, or General Chu who provided them with such delicious food without asking for anything in return.

It was a tough call, but one thing was for sure, they were very grateful to these people. In the future, they would work harder to complete all the missions assigned by the leaders here.

Grandpa Chu’s table already had food placed on it and the elders including the three professors had already started eating.

Chu Hao brought back two plates of food and placed one in front of Chichi who had been apprehensive not knowing what to do.

She smiled at Chu Hao and thanked him. She thought that he was a nice guy and very thoughtful. He had also been helpful when they were scavenging for supplies underwater and he was the same even at home.

Chu Miao and Ye Xuan stood up too and went to get a plate of the food they wanted to eat before going back to sit down.

Seeing the leaders start to eat without a word, Yang Leo, Zhao Lu, and Qi Long stood up as well.

Soon, everyone including the soldiers who had been shy about getting food was holding a plate of their favorite food.

As soon as the hot pots in the table were cleared of food, Ye Xuan placed more on it. It could be seen that when Grandpa Chu said that there was enough food and they should eat without worry, he meant it. Literally.

For almost an hour, all one could hear was the clunking of plates and chopsticks as more than a hundred people were in that small room turned into a dining hall.

Soon, all the food was eaten and everyone was so full that they couldn’t eat another bite. Grandpa Chu and the rest of the Chu family were happy to see this.

Thinking of the meat, vegetables and fruits that were about to start rotting on the farm because they had no more space to harvest and put them, it was good that there were people to dispose of them.

They could just treat their stomachs as garbage cans, no offense to the soldiers.

"Alright, I believe everyone has eaten their fill. Now, let’s get down to business." As soon as the tables were cleared and cleaned, Grandpa Chu stood up to draw everyone’s attention.

"Today, we don’t have much in the agenda except to get to know each other so that if we meet on the stairs or outside collecting supplies we won’t treat each other as enemies.

I would like to first introduce myself, I am Chu Zheng. Most of you know me as General Chu. I won’t say too much as I am not the leader of this team.

I will call my granddaughter to introduce herself and say whatever needs to be said." Grandpa Chu said before sitting back down.
