"Meat? It smells delicious."

Ji Zhoubai came over following the scent.

Looking at the lunchbox, I saw a variety of dishes: braised pork ribs with a rich, savory sauce, braised pig's trotters, spicy and delicious cilantro beef, sizzling grilled lamb chops, and golden squid and chicken soup.

He swallowed hard. "Give me something to eat. If you fill my stomach, I'll go with you to rescue people."

God knows how hard he worked during this apocalyptic period. He couldn't eat or sleep well, and he had to be on call 24 hours a day, ready to save people at any time.

Ji Zhoubai was moved by his own thoughts, but no matter how moved he was, he couldn't ignore the restlessness in his mind.

Before the apocalypse, besides his beloved medical skills, his greatest interest was finding all sorts of delicious food.

Luo Ning had deliberately brought out these things, giving him a lunchbox with each type of dish.

He gave each member of the digital group a portion of food, and then took out a few crystal cores for them before eating some himself.

Of all things, eating is the most important. She's been busy all day; male lead, please hang in there a little longer.

Ji Zhoubai finally had the best meal since the apocalypse, and he did not wolf it down.

Instead, they leisurely savored the meal.

Each person was served a meal consisting of four dishes and a soup, but no one left any.

Luo Ning couldn't finish the 125 servings, so he specially set aside a portion for the guard.

The group enjoyed the post-apocalyptic delicacies in the morgue, while Xiao Jie in the intensive care unit was still struggling.

He knew he was dying, but he thought he saw her before he died.

The girl he had kept hidden in his heart for four years seemed to have come to save him, but how could that be?

She didn't know him at all.

No, that's not right. She really did come to save him, but she was in danger.

Was she injured?

Is he out of danger?

He couldn't just die like that; he wanted to see her one more time.

Xiao Jie struggled desperately and slowly opened his eyes.

I vaguely saw a cloud of white mist in front of me, with a hazy figure inside.

It seems he's really going to die; he's already seen the people coming to pick him up.

Ji Zhoubai saw that the person in front of him had regained some consciousness and his tightly furrowed brows had relaxed a bit.

That unreliable Luo Ning, he's about to die, and you're still eating slowly with him.

Only after his supernatural power was completely exhausted did Ji Zhoubai take two steps back, looking utterly drained.

Signal to the others to pay attention to the man's situation.

He walked unsteadily out of the operating room; saving this person had not only exhausted his supernatural abilities, but he himself was also on the verge of collapse.

Luo Ning sat in a chair with 125 lying on her lap and 124 lying at her feet, playing a single-player game, looking quite content.

Seeing Luo Ning like this, Ji Zhoubai was extremely jealous.

123 stood anxiously at the operating room door, and rushed towards him as soon as she saw him.

"How is it? Is he alive or not?"

Ji Zhoubai picked up 123 and walked up to Luo Ning. "Your little robot is quite interesting."

Not only can it eat human food from crystal cores, but it also speaks so fluently.

However, he wasn't surprised. The cat and dog beside her were mutants, so it was normal for there to be a mutant robot as well.

Luo Ning snatched 123 and put it on his shoulder. Who gave him permission to squeeze 123 like that?

Ji Zhoubai didn't care about her attitude and sat down next to her.

"The person has been saved, I'd like three more servings of your food."

Luo Ning put her phone away. "No."

She's already saved his life, why should she cook for him? The food she makes isn't even enough for her own consumption.

Ji Zhoubai was infuriated by her self-righteous attitude. He glared at her and said, "You're crossing the river and burning the bridge, you're using the millstone and then discarding the donkey. You, you, you have no morals."

"We agreed beforehand that I'd feed you and you'd help me save people. Where's the morality in that?"

Luo Ning was a bit far away from him, and he hadn't mentioned beforehand that he would give him three meals afterwards.

Ji Zhoubai's face flushed red. He hadn't said anything beforehand, but... but...

"If you don't want to send it, can I buy it?"

She has several dishes that he hasn't tried before. He bought them and put them in the refrigerator. He can heat them up later, and they'll definitely taste better than what you get in the cafeteria.

"What price are you offering?" Luo Ning's eyes darted around.

"What price are you looking for?"

Ji Zhoubai sighed. This person's expression was obviously off, but he didn't have any ambitions right now. He just wanted to eat what he wanted.

Luo Ning stared at him. "I'll give you a broken bone, and two second-tier crystal cores for every dish you eat."

Ji Zhoubai yelled, "You're robbing me! Do you know how long a second-tier crystal core can sustain a family of three in the apocalypse? You want two for just one dish!"

"Want some? Limited supply. Since you helped me earlier, I can give you three. If it were someone else, they might only have one."

Luo Ning smiled.

Ji Zhoubai gritted his teeth, "Yes."

He was really tired of eating white rice, potatoes, and instant bread; even if the cafeteria had a little bit of oil, it wasn't enough.

I don't know what the higher-ups were thinking. They clearly had plenty of supplies, but every meal was made very simply.

"Two servings of braised pork rib noodles, one serving of braised rice with Chinese sausage, two servings of lobster stewed egg and stir-fried seasonal vegetables, three servings each of braised pork trotters, beef with coriander, roasted lamb chops, and braised squid with chicken."

For each item Ji Zhoubai read out, Luo Ning would take out one.

"Alright, the food costs thirty-eight crystal cores, and the lunchbox will cost you two crystal cores, for a total of forty. Cash on delivery, no credit."

Ji Zhoubai stood up. "Why does the lunchbox need two crystal cores?"

"These lunchboxes cost seventy or eighty yuan each before the apocalypse. They can keep food warm and can be microwaved. I collected them with great effort. How can they not be worth two crystal cores?"

Luo Ning stared wide-eyed. Two crystal cores were already a friendly price she gave him. In the apocalypse, everything was expensive.

"No, I don't want the lunchbox anymore."

Ji Zhoubai felt bad about the two crystal cores. He only had a little over fifty second-tier crystal cores in total. With those two crystal cores, he might as well buy another dish.

Luo Ning spread his hands innocently, "Fine, if you don't want it, then don't. I'm a good citizen in the apocalypse, and I don't play those forced sales tricks."

Ji Zhoubai was shocked by her audacity. She didn't play the game of forced buying and selling; she played the game of dominating the market and monopolizing it.

He only gets a dozen or so points for a meal in the cafeteria, but thirty-eight second-tier crystal cores are enough for him to live on for a year.
