Doomsday America

Chapter 123 Keep your spirits up, don't fucking embarrass yourself (10k)

Uh……

Hearing Eugene's words, Feng Minglu remained silent for two seconds.

It turns out... even the Livingston Lake bonfire party he was at...

Is it all because of this star player named Gavin that we are able to have him?
This is this...

Is it that famous?

It's a pity Gavin couldn't hear Feng Minglu's true feelings, otherwise he would have definitely put on a good show in front of his compatriots.

What does the Super Bowl mean in the United States?
That was the highest-rated program in the United States for decades.

Furthermore, because the Super Bowl takes place in early February each year, which happens to be close to the Lunar New Year in China, it is also known as the American Spring Festival.

There was even an F-22 formation flight performance during the Super Bowl!
As for the Super Bowl halftime show, it's a show where only the superstars of the superstars have the opportunity to perform!
Michael Jackson, Madonna, Shakira, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, and many others.

As for Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, two superstars who are household names in the East.

They hadn't even been able to perform on stage once by 2025, before Gavin's time travel...

In short, Gavin's current fame in America is equivalent to being the closing act on the Spring Festival Gala for five consecutive years.

In addition, he was the MVP of the five-time Texas football championship team and its absolute core player...

If Feng Minglu had known anything about American football before, he would have known that Gavin's current status in America was roughly equivalent to a combination of Zhao Benshan, Yao Ming, and Liu Xiang at their peak...

It's incredibly popular!
He is a true national idol of America!

This is also why Gavin chose to participate in rugby after discovering that his physical abilities were beyond those of ordinary people after time-traveling.

Because playing football well makes it so easy to become famous in America!

As for now...

Faced with Eugene's suspicious gaze, Old Feng pursed his lips briefly, then quickly reacted and exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"Are you kidding me? It's just a bonfire party at a lake and in a small town. How can it be my idol's celebration party!"

“That’s my idol! That’s Gavin! His parties should be in Los Angeles, in New York, or even at the United Nations. I don’t believe a party in some small village is my idol’s party. It’s too embarrassing for my idol!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Minglu put on a confident look, as if he were a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, and met You Jin's suspicious gaze.

Looking at Feng Minglu at this moment, Eugene pursed his lips and said in a low voice.

"Although I don't really believe what you're saying, well... fine, I'll believe you this once, since you're even better at showing off than your idol!"

After saying that, Eugene turned his head and pursed his lips.

He could tell that the Dongguo couple in front of him were the most cunning of the cunning, slippery and their words were never serious!

If you talk to these kinds of people too much, they might find out how many holes you have in your underwear, and you won't get a single truth out of them!

Cook?
Eugene glanced at Feng Minglu's posture as he held the gun with a hint of disbelief.

Such a professional posture, and you call this a cook?
Shouldn't those guys responsible for cooking be there, all big-bellied, yelling and shouting?
With your posture and physique, you must have been a soldier in the past, right?

You and your family aren't agents sent by the East to America, are you?

Across from him, he noticed Eugene's gaze.

Cao Xinyan couldn't help but swallow, then whispered to Feng Minglu.

"Honey, did you mess this up? He seems suspicious."

"Let's drop the 'is it'? I think I've really messed things up. The bonfire party that the resort we're staying at has been advertising for the past few days seems to be for that celebrity. We underestimated that celebrity's influence!"

At this point, Lao Feng picked up the flyer and read it carefully again.

After reading it once, he put down the flyer and continued speaking softly to his wife.

"Even if things go wrong, we should be fine. If what they say on their flyers is true, and there are really elderly people and children in their camp, then they'll definitely be able to accommodate us!"

"As for whether I'll be discriminated against by those foreigners, I'll see if there are any other ethnic minorities in the camp and we can team up with them."

"Let me think. The Japanese are hopeless, the Koreans can go to hell, we should avoid contact with the blacks, and the trash from East India is even worse. Those bastards are lazy and like to suppress their own people, they are not trustworthy at all!"

"I'll see if there are any Latinos or Native Americans around. Let's team up with them; that way, no one will target us!"

After saying that, Feng Minglu took a deep breath and continued chatting casually with Gavin and Feng Minglu.

For example, their family comes from Liaoning in the East, they are from Andong.

And while he's at it, he'll also belittle Beckham, Ronaldo, Messi, Jordan, and Kobe in front of Gavin, all the while praising the legendary status of his own "idols"...

While Feng Minglu and his partner gave their heartfelt performance, Gavin kept his mouth covered by a mask and listened to them talk about jokes from Northeast China for over an hour.

They only stopped talking when night had completely fallen and darkness had completely enveloped the helicopter, because the unease brought by the darkness was too great!
Looking down into the darkness, Gavin leaned closer to the window and, following the course of the river, confirmed that he was back on the farm.

He then turned to look at Cao Xinyan, who seemed increasingly uneasy, and smiled as he spoke to the couple.

"Don't worry, my friend, we'll be home soon."

"Although it is still dark outside, the river will help us find our way to the camp. From this moment on, every piece of land that goes forward is mine, or rather, ours!"

As he finished speaking, Gavin unusually felt a little regretful.

I finally ran into two fellow countrymen, but then it got dark, making it hard to maintain my composure.
He wasn't usually so fond of showing off, but now he'd met an old friend in a foreign land, especially one from the world's apocalypse!

This feeling inevitably stirred his emotions as well.

Fortunately, after a slight pause, Feng Minglu immediately gave a thumbs-up in response.

"As expected of you, idol! Our camp is huge!"

At this point, Feng Minglu peeked out the window twice, then couldn't help but ask Gavin, "What are you talking about?"

"But boss, why doesn't our camp even have a street light? If we encounter zombies at night, we won't be able to run away properly!"

"Although there is no power or water now, why don't you install solar panels on the streetlights? That way, our helicopters can not only be guided by the streetlights, but the streetlights can also mark the road, making it easier for us to escape in the middle of the night."

After saying that, Old Feng looked intently at Gavin.

Gavin couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

Hearing Gavin sigh, Cao Xinyan, whose mind was already tense from the torment of the boundless darkness, couldn't help but hug the child tighter, and then grabbed Feng Minglu's hand and said.

"Honey, why did you make the village chief sigh? What did you say to him?"

"Hehe, don't worry, I'll give him some advice and, incidentally, help us make ourselves known!"

As he answered, Lao Feng patted his wife's hand and smiled.

"No matter what life is like in Gavin Village, people like us who take care of children will always cause trouble for others in the apocalypse, such as the sound of children crying, or children having headaches or fevers, or children occasionally causing trouble."

"Besides, you also have to take care of the children, so you probably can't help the village much. Then I'll have to do more so that the village chief can appreciate you and help you make a difference."

“I think my suggestions were somewhat useful. Even if he doesn’t listen, I still have to work harder to make our son’s role as a prominent figure more prominent.”

At this point, Lao Feng patted his wife's hand again, then turned to Gavin and smiled.

"Village...not...that...boss?"

"Hehe, boss, look at my wife! She's already planning how to make our camp bigger and stronger before we even got home!"

"She was just urging me, saying that the boss was kind enough to take us in, and our family couldn't let him down, so she told me to work as hard as possible."

"I noticed you sighed just now, boss. Is there some trouble for our company? Would you mind talking to me? Maybe my wife and I, being foreigners, might have some brilliant ideas."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Minglu looked at Gavin with a "simple" and "honest" smile on his face.

And Gavin...

When Gavin heard Feng Minglu refer to his family as foreigners, he almost burst out laughing!

This is a perfectly legal and legitimate rebellion against the Heavenly Gang!
While suppressing a laugh, Gavin nodded slightly to Feng Minglu and explained.

"I sighed not because there was any trouble, or rather, we only have one trouble!"

"What trouble?"

Feng Minglu's eyes flickered, and his pupils immediately showed a hint of understanding. He then asked Gavin a question.

Faced with Feng Minglu's question, Gavin shook his head and smiled.

"We are short of people!"

"Need more people?"

Old Feng's eyes darted around again as he looked at the flyers beside him.

"Boss Gavin, handing out flyers is very inefficient. Haven't you tried using a wireless method?"

"We tried, but nobody in the camp knows much about radios, so we accidentally made contact with the International Space Station..."

Gavin shrugged and explained to Feng Minglu with a smile.

"We worked with the astronauts on the space station to develop a basic plan to bring them back to Earth. In order to ensure the astronauts' safe return as much as possible, and to ensure that our connection with the space station is always open, our only radio was put into use."

"The astronauts taught us some basic radio technology, but we'll have to wait until we find a new radio before we can..."

Just as Gavin was speaking, Feng Minglu suddenly interrupted him, speaking rapidly.

"Wait, boss, haven't you tried converting a car radio into an amateur radio, or even a helicopter radio into an amateur radio?"

"There are also walkie-talkies, repeaters, and even radios. With a little modification, those things can be used as radio stations, and transmitting over hundreds of kilometers shouldn't be a problem!"

After speaking, Feng Minglu looked at Gavin with sincere eyes.

Gavin couldn't help but take another deep breath before responding.

“You make a good point, Feng, but there’s no one in the camp who knows these things. Even if the astronauts could teach us, it would still take us a while to learn before we can actually practice. We…”

"I can!"

At that moment, Feng Minglu couldn't help but raise his right hand, point to himself with his thumb, and laugh.

"Boss, I'm a cook, so I'm usually idle after I finish cooking. So when I have nothing to do, I go to the training section to find those communications soldiers, connect to the internet to play games, and play around with radios with them."

"Walter?"

Upon hearing Feng Minglu's words, Gavin couldn't help but pause slightly and ask a question.

"You say you understand radio, the kind that you can modify manually?"

"I know a little, I know a little~"

Feng Minglu responded with a chuckle, while Gavin couldn't help but swallow.

This cook knows a lot of things!

He couldn't help but ask Feng Minglu again.

"You...would you mind telling me what else you know?"

As he asked the questions, Gavin couldn't help but feel a little excited.

As for Feng Minglu, when faced with Gavin's question, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly.

"Boss, you want me to just say it directly? I don't even know what I know. I've learned too many different things."

"As for my profession, I won't go into details about being a cook. After I was discharged from the army, I opened a barbecue restaurant and a hot pot restaurant. There's nothing much to say about that."

"Even radio, I only remembered that I knew those things after you mentioned them."

"Wow... I see..."

Hearing Lao Feng's answer, Gavin nodded thoughtfully, then asked softly.

"You know how to drive, right?"

"Of course! I even have an A1 ticket. I got my driver's license while I was in the army; I learned to drive with the driving corps."

"That armored vehicle..."

"Hiss! I actually know how to do it. Our regiment has an armored company. I got to know them well during my last two years of service, and I would occasionally go over and have some fun. I've even driven a tank. That thing is pretty simple, much simpler than an excavator!"

At this point, Feng Minglu's honest expression changed slightly, and he finally showed a bit of pride.

Clearly, being able to drive a tank is something he must be proud of!

He just smiled and continued talking to Gavin.

"Those are our tanks over there. Your Abrams tanks are much easier to drive. Running them is like riding a motorcycle while lying down. It's so cool!"

"Wow……"

Hearing this, Gavin swallowed hard, then tentatively pointed to Steve's location and spoke.

"So... you didn't learn to fly helicopters when you were in the army, did you?"

"Haha, I really know how to do that, but I didn't learn it in the army, I learned it while I was traveling in Hawaii."

"About four years ago, I went to Sanya for tourism and won a 30-day Hawaii tour package at the duty-free shop. Then I took my then-girlfriend, who is now my wife, to Hawaii for a month. That's when we started our relationship."

"As for helicopters, my certification is relatively basic, but I should be fine with most civilian helicopters. With more practice, I'll definitely be able to fly military helicopters too!"

"You know a lot."

Upon hearing this, Gavin swallowed hard. This guy is a jack-of-all-trades.

Are you really a cook?

Are you sure you're not a detective?

Is it true that you can learn everything in Hawaii?

Thinking of this, Gavin was briefly surprised, then continued to ask.

"You really are... well, you know a lot of things. So, do you know anything about bulldozers, excavators, tractors, etc.?"

"I haven't taken the certification exam, but I can drive a little bit. I can't do engineering work directly, but if it's just driving or digging some soil, then it's no problem."

"Alright, then let's talk about planting fruits and vegetables..."

"I don't know much about this. I've only grown some vegetables, I've never grown trees."

"Then... the care of cattle and horses."

"Well... it's not really my area of ​​expertise. Although I have a friend who owns a feed mill, and I helped out there for a while, I only looked at cattle and horses, and never actually took care of them."

"Then... postpartum care for sows?"

"This... do I understand? Our cooking squad does raise pigs, but I'm the one who cooks, I've never taken care of a sow before!"

At this point, Feng Minglu glanced at Gavin suspiciously.

Is it just a coincidence?

It must be a coincidence!
Why is a foreigner suddenly talking about postpartum care for sows?

This joke sounds so familiar!
However, after careful consideration, Feng Minglu realized that he was probably wrong.

Even if Gavin or other foreigners speak Chinese, they would never understand Chinese puns like "postpartum care for sows" if they hadn't lived in Japan for ten or twenty years.

While Feng Minglu was deep in thought, Eugene, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly jumped up, pointed at Feng Minglu, and shouted.

"I fucking got tricked by you! Feng Ge! You can't possibly be some damn cook! What cook knows so much! You must be a spy sent to America by the East!"

"Dude, stop hiding it. It's the end of the world, what are you hiding for? If you're a secret agent, just say so. Don't joke around with me like a cook!"

"I've been in the army for so many years, how could I not know what cooks are like? Do you think I'm an idiot?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Eugene spat in annoyance and continued to stare intently at Feng Minglu.

Beside Lao Feng, his wife nervously swallowed and whispered to Lao Feng, "..."

"Honey, what happened? Why...why did he get angry?"

"Don't worry, what's the big deal if he gets angry? He'll just get angry for a moment."

"And I just realized that I actually know so much!"

“My parents said that the certificates I got before were useless, and even you said that I only know how to do nothing but study for useless things.”

“But look at us now. Those things may not have made us rich before, but look at the village chief. He even looks at me differently now.”

"The apocalypse is coming, and people like me will be extremely popular in the apocalypse because I've studied so many different things!"

"If the village chief needs us, what can a red-haired soldier like him do to us? Besides, relationships are something that can be built up over shared experiences—once you've fought together, you'll have connections too."

After speaking, Feng Minglu patted his wife's hand reassuringly, then turned to Eugene, looking at him with a simple, honest, and unassuming expression, and said...

"My friend, you scared my wife. Can we sit down and have a proper talk?"

"Huh? Ha! Fine, Feng Ge! Even though you never tell the truth, I still have to consider the kid's feelings, you bastard!"

Eugene cursed in annoyance and then sat back down in his seat.

The moment he sat down, Winnie's energetic voice came through the walkie-talkies on their waists.

All I heard Winnie ask on the walkie-talkie was her question.

"Boss, boss, this is Winnie. Is that approaching flying object yours? If not, don't worry, Madison and Martin are already on the roof preparing the heavy machine guns."

"Holy crap? No! Stop! That's us!"

Before Gavin could even speak after hearing Winnie's words, Steve quickly turned on the intercom and called out. After Steve finished speaking, Gavin smiled, turned on the intercom, and said to Winnie.

"Guess if you managed to scare me, kid!"

"Haha, I knew I couldn't scare the boss, but you guys came back a little late today, and we were all quite worried~"

Winnie pursed her lips and responded.

Hearing the little girl's voice on the walkie-talkie, Feng Minglu and Cao Xinyan exchanged a sharp glance, then simultaneously let out a long sigh of relief.

Gavin turned on the intercom and continued responding.

"Don't worry, kid. We not only returned safely, but we also brought back three survivors. We'll need to buy three more sets of tableware tonight, or maybe two?"

"What? Three people? Wow!" Winnie screamed immediately.

"Three people? Sir! Congratulations on your great success!" Nikita said calmly and happily.

"Boss, you've got incredible luck today! If you could have this kind of good luck every day, our camp's population would be over a hundred in no time!" Madison was extremely excited.

“Good, Gavin, you have brought hope and a future to many more people. I am proud of you, my child.” Old Bert has become increasingly kind lately.

“Ah, three, that’s more than we did yesterday, so are they having a blast? Wait, boss, I don’t want to smoke, I just want to see others suffer with me, haha~” Martin made a Texas Hold’em joke.

After most of the sound from the walkie-talkie had disappeared.

Finally, a faint voice came through the intercom.

"Uh... Boss, are they going to have big appetites? If I add more food now... will it be too late... Sorry..."

That's right, Doris was using the walkie-talkie, and after she finished speaking, Eugene, who was next to Gavin, stared intently at Feng Minglu and picked up the walkie-talkie with displeasure.

"They don't just have small appetites, they can even cook for themselves! Because one of them is a cook who can fly planes and tanks... Do you think I should trust him?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Eugene gave a fierce laugh and then jokingly held up the walkie-talkie in front of Feng Minglu.

Seeing this, Feng Minglu took a deep breath and then smiled innocently at Eugene.

"Friend, I'm telling the truth. Among the cooks around here, there are always a few who are all-rounders. Who would bring their wife and kids to become a secret agent?"

After saying that, Feng Minglu turned around, smiled, grabbed his wife's hand, and said...

"Honey, they think your husband is a secret agent, haha, aren't you awesome?"

"dont see!"

Cao Xinyan chuckled and grabbed her husband's hand, about to say something more, when she suddenly felt a warmth in her arms.
Then, she looked at the baby's bottom with even more helplessness. Good, the baby's digestive system was still healthy; he'd pooped quite a bit!
At the same time, the helicopter soared through the sky and slowly approached the manor illuminated by lights.

From a great distance, Feng Minglu could see the enormous manor standing tall in the darkness!
The entire manor was brightly lit, and the structure of floor-to-ceiling windows covering the exterior walls added an indescribable sense of technology and fluidity to the whole manor.

For a moment, Feng Minglu couldn't help but feel a little moved.

When such a beautiful and brightly lit building appears in the deepest darkness of the night...

It truly looks like the heart and beacon of civilization, making every living person feel refreshed and invigorated!
Beside Lao Feng, Cao Xinyan had no time to pay attention to the beautiful house. She was more focused on Lao Feng's elbow and whispered something.

"Old Feng, honey, get me a diaper, our son pooped!"

"Wait a minute, let's talk after we get off the helicopter. We need to keep a low profile and not do anything too conspicuous, especially not show off our son's little troublesome tendencies in front of those foreigners so soon."

Old Feng responded quickly, then reached out and touched his son's face.

Although it has been almost a week since the apocalypse, my son's cheeks are still fair and clean, and his skin is rosy and tender, making him look healthy and cute.

but……

Looking at his adorable son, Feng Minglu felt nothing but endless worry and sorrow.

My child, why must I, as your father, leave you with a world ravaged by war?
When you grow up, how am I supposed to explain to you that the world you see is different from the world you heard during your prenatal education?

Hey……

Thinking of this, Feng Minglu took a deep breath, forced a smile, and touched his son's hat.

Beside him, Cao Xinyan pursed her lips and asked him softly.

"Old Feng, they think you're a secret agent. Won't you be targeted?"

"It's nothing, it's all a joke. Besides, you heard the voice on the walkie-talkie. There are old and young people in the camp, so the atmosphere shouldn't be too bad!"

Feng Minglu patted his wife's hand, signaling her to relax.

Meanwhile, Steve controlled the plane, slowly flying to the third-floor rooftop and parking it under the airport's indicator lights.

As the propellers gradually came to a stop, Gavin opened the cabin door and strode off the helicopter.

Cao Xinyan immediately picked up the child and followed her husband step by step to the top floor.

Looking at the surrounding lights, especially at the old manor in the distance.

Cao Xinyan leaned close behind Lao Feng and whispered.

"Honey, look! It's a huge estate, just like in the movies. Are we going to stay there?"

"What the hell?"

Old Feng was taken aback by what Cao Xinyan said and couldn't help but ask.

"Honey, didn't you look outside the helicopter? The village chief pointed out the location to us."

"Is it……"

Upon hearing this, Cao Xinyan pursed her lips regretfully.

"That's true. That dreamy stone manor looks quite luxurious, and it must consume a lot of electricity."

"So honey, where are we staying tonight? Is it far from the airport?"

Cao Xinyan had been focused on the baby pooping and hadn't had time to look out the window, so she didn't see the overall view of the manor at all.

And Feng Minglu...

Looking at his wife at this moment, he helplessly took her hand and whispered.

"Honey, can you speak with a bit more dignity? Don't talk like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden."

"When you're out in the world, you define your own identity. Behave yourself, be reserved, stay calm and collected, okay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Minglu gently tightened his grip on his wife's hand.

At the same time, Gavin and his two companions, who were leading the way, also pushed open the door to the stairwell.

brush!
The moment the door opened, gentle light pierced the darkness and shone directly on the faces of the group.

Looking at the downward-reaching staircase, Cao Xinyan was slightly taken aback and asked blankly.

"Wait a minute, the building is under the airport? Such a huge airport is just the rooftop of the building? No wonder they're American capitalists, they're on par with the real estate developers back home!"

"Honey, calm down~"

Feng Minglu hurriedly reminded his wife, then quickly said to Steve, who turned around and looked at them curiously.

"Hehe, my wife didn't expect there to be such a safe environment in the apocalypse, so she was a little surprised."

"Our camp feels so warm and welcoming. I'm starting to love our camp, and I will do my best to protect this land and each of us!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Minglu gave Steve a simple and honest smile.

Upon hearing this, Steve couldn't help but force a fierce yet sincere smile and nodded to Feng Minglu.

He admired men like Feng Minglu who could protect their wives and children even in the apocalypse; such men were definitely true tough guys!
He preferred Feng Minglu's child; seeing the child in the apocalypse felt wonderful, like witnessing the emergence of hope!
In addition, Steve also admired Feng Minglu's smile.

Good heavens, how long has it been since he's seen such a kind and honest smile? Truly, the people of Dongguk are hardworking and simple!

How could someone so honest and kind be a bad person!

Absolutely impossible!
For a moment, Steve followed behind Gavin, deciding to quietly take care of the newly joined family of three.

This family of honest and hard-working survivors must not be bullied by those bastards, especially the two red-haired guys. He must keep a close eye on those two!

We must absolutely avoid any acts of racial discrimination that could disrupt the unity and harmony of the camp!

It's a pity Eugene can't hear Steve, otherwise, who knows how aggrieved Eugene would be.

Steve, you're the honest one! Your whole family is honest! You can't see through those two cunning husband and wife at all!
While Steve was secretly plotting, Gavin suppressed a laugh and went up to the third floor, passing the broadcasting room, his original bedroom, the armory, the game room, Bar No. 2, Gym No. 2, and a series of other rooms, and arrived at the second-floor corridor.

Following the corridor staircase directly to the first floor, Gavin continued to lead the group past the aquarium and botanical garden.

When we were on the third floor, all the doors to those rooms were closed.

Cao Xinyan just felt that the manor was a bit too big.

But once she got to the first floor, the vast emptiness transformed into a breathtaking view that overwhelmed her senses.

She held her husband's hand and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise in a low voice.

"Honey, the aquarium..."

"Mmm," Feng Minglu replied hastily.

"Honey, the botanical garden, and cats and dogs!"

"Hmm..." Feng Minglu swallowed.

"Honey! A bar! The kind with ambient lighting!"

"Honey, cheer up, don't embarrass yourself..."

Feng Minglu secretly tightened his grip on his wife's hand, trying his best to make both of them put on a nonchalant expression as if they had seen the world.

But they couldn't keep that expression up after seeing the group of people waiting in the hall. Feng Minglu stared wide-eyed at Winnie and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Great! There's more than just our son at the camp, there's a little girl too!"

"What are you looking at, Feng Minglu? Don't scare the child!"

As soon as Feng Minglu finished speaking, Cao Xinyan pulled her hand away from his grasp, then reached down to Feng Minglu's waist, pinched the soft flesh of his waist with her thumb and forefinger nails, and twisted it hard without making a sound!
"His!"

At that moment, Old Feng couldn't help but put on the mask of pain, and he also made a hissing sound like a Mamba!
His voice immediately drew everyone's attention to him.

Facing everyone's gaze, Cao Xinyan released the soft flesh around Feng Minglu's waist while giving a very gentle smile and nodding to everyone.

She smiled and said this to Feng Minglu.

"Cheer up, don't embarrass yourself!"

"Cough cough!"

Feng Minglu nodded involuntarily, and then quickly addressed the crowd.

"Hello, I am a survivor from the East. They are my lover and children. We are truly honored to have them join our group."

"By the way, my wife doesn't speak English, so she just greeted everyone in Chinese. I hope you all understand!"

At this point, Old Feng nodded to everyone with a simple, honest smile.

Upon hearing Lao Feng's words, everyone looked at each other, then looked at Gavin suspiciously, as if hoping to get confirmation from him.

Especially Nikita, Winnie, and old Bert, the three of them who were relatively more perceptive, always felt that there was something strange about what the new survivors were saying!
Gavin grinned at everyone and emphasized what he was saying.

"Guys, our team has grown again, and this time we're welcoming three international friends."

"Unfortunately, I don't speak Chinese, so I can't comfort their hearts that are struggling in the apocalypse using their native language."

"Although we can't offer them much comfort, we can at least use their welcoming words to give them a small welcoming ceremony to commemorate the first group of foreign friends we've won over to the camp!"

At this point, Gavin turned to Feng Minglu with a gentle and harmless expression and asked him with a smile.

"Feng, my friend, we want to surprise your loved one, so could you repeat your greetings? We'll learn to say them to you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gavin walked up to Feng Minglu with a smile and put his hands on Feng Minglu's shoulders.

Hearing Gavin's words, Feng Minglu swallowed hard, then suppressed his helplessness and repeated each word.

"Be more alert... don't... lose face."

"OK, my friend, Jingsen, Bie Diefen."

Gavin chuckled and exaggeratedly patted Feng Minglu on the shoulder before giving his seat to someone else.

Eugene immediately followed, came up to Old Feng, patted him on the shoulder, and grinned mischievously.

"Ha, Feng Ge, it's spicy, not starchy!"

After saying that, Eugene gave up his seat with a wicked grin.

Although he didn't understand the meaning of that Chinese phrase, he knew it definitely wasn't a greeting!

He understood the boss's smile!
And so, for the next two minutes...

One by one, people came up to Feng Minglu, earnestly telling him to look more presentable and not lose face.

This behavior really startled Cao Xinyan.

"Old Feng..."

After the last person passed by Lao Feng, Cao Xinyan nervously said to Lao Feng.

"What did you just say? This is quite a scene."

"Don't say anything..."

Feng Minglu responded helplessly, and then, led by Gavin, arrived near the dining table.

While everyone was seated at the table, he and his wife took their child to the bathroom to clean up. Then, they picked up their child and returned to the table, looking poised and dignified as they waited for the meal to begin.

The large square table where Gavin was sitting only had eighteen seats, but it was almost full.

As he sat down, Feng Minglu glanced at the American food on the table, and then couldn't help but look at Gavin.

Gavin keenly noticed Feng Minglu's observation, so he looked up at Feng Minglu and smiled.

"What's wrong, Feng? Is the food not to your liking?"

"No, no, no, it's just right for my taste, the chef's skills are superb!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Minglu gave a very sincere thumbs up.

Not far away, Doris immediately blushed, clasped her hands, and earnestly thanked Feng Minglu.

"Thank you for the compliment, thank you~"

"You're welcome, don't mention it. Your cooking is amazing, really, it's the first time I've ever tasted anything so delicious!"

Listening to Doris's words, Old Feng memorized Doris's identity as a chef while looking down at his wife and speaking.

"There's hope, honey. Their chef's skills aren't that great; at best, they cook delicious home-style dishes. If they opened a restaurant, it would definitely go bankrupt."

"And the village chief here seems to prefer Chinese food. He's the only one eating rice at the table, which is my specialty!"

"So, I guess my cooking skills will definitely come in handy, and I might even be able to upgrade directly from the kitchen stove to the level of a private chef for leaders!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Feng smiled confidently, and he and his wife gave Doris a thumbs up, which made Doris beam with joy.

And Gavin...

He quickly buried his head and stuffed a few more mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, then scooped out a large piece of stewed meat and stuffed it into his mouth, sealing it tightly.

While he was eating heartily, he kept his eyes glued to the plate in front of him.

He was afraid that if he looked at that couple even once more, he wouldn't be able to hold back his laughter and would spit out his food!

At the same time, listening to her husband's words, Cao Xinyan nodded gently and then responded to Lao Feng.

“Honey, we can’t just rely on you to take care of the whole family. I need to find my own place to be stable. Even if I don’t have much time now, our son will grow up sooner or later. I can’t wait until he’s older to get to know them!”

"So please teach me English quickly, otherwise if I keep having a language barrier with them, I'll be isolated sooner or later!"

"Believe me, only women truly understand women. The moment I saw those two young girls' eyes, I knew they were no pushovers. On the contrary, those two older women looked quite harmless."

At this point, Cao Xinyan turned to Doris, Bella, Nikita, and Winnie, extending her hands and giving them two thumbs up with a smile.

"you! biu~ special no! Wai Rui biu special no~"

"Thank you~" ×4
The crowd responded enthusiastically.

Watching his wife interact with the foreign women at the camp, Lao Feng pondered for a moment, then grinned and whispered to his wife.

"Honey, don't rush to learn English. Who knows, in six months or a year, I'll be teaching them all Chinese!"

"No, honey."

Hearing her husband's words, Cao Xinyan quickly grabbed his hand and reminded him.

"Honey, it's really convenient for us to whisper to each other sometimes. If you teach them, then we won't be able to have any private conversations anymore."

"What a joke!"

Upon hearing his wife's words, Feng Minglu quickly grabbed her hand and emphasized in an extremely serious tone.

"We don't even know what's happening back home yet, if... I mean if..."

“If the future is particularly bad, then no matter what, we must pass on the Chinese language and our history and culture.”

"The end of the world has come, and the dead are all dead. Since we are still alive, this is our responsibility!"
