While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp

Luo Ning was stunned. Didn't he realize that her words were just polite excuses?

Even if she's in the base, without joining the official organization or going on missions, she won't stay there indefinitely.

In her past, present, pre-apocalyptic, and post-apocalyptic lives, besides wanting to retire and enjoy her old age, she also wants to travel everywhere.

Imagine that she has no shortage of money, time, or supplies, and she brings her own retirement home.

While others are struggling to make a living, she leisurely drives around traveling. How wonderful!

"Really, it's not necessary, but thank you for your kindness. We'll contact each other again if needed."

Luo Ning wasn't used to Old Fu's sincere concern, so after speaking, she quickly pulled Xiao Jie away.

Grandpa Fu watched her reluctantly from behind, then kicked Fu Xing.

"What are you standing there for? Take Luo girl home!"

Fu Xing pointed at himself and said, "Grandpa, are you serious?"

"What else can we do? Luo is just a young girl, and it's so dangerous outside. Are we going to let her go back alone? Don't you have a day off? Send her back, and then we can go on the next mission tomorrow." Old Master Fu said seriously.

Fu Xing moved a little further away from him. "Grandpa, you know it's dangerous outside. We have another mission tomorrow. Is it right for you to ask us to take Miss Luo back now?"

"What's wrong with that? Ningcheng isn't far from the base, it only takes two or three hours to drive there. Just think of it as a road trip." Old Master Fu glared.

Fu Xing and the others turned and left; his grandfather was utterly unreasonable.

Putting aside whether they need rest, Miss Luo doesn't need their escort at all.

Are you even going on a road trip? With such heavy acid rain outside, is it really suitable for a road trip?

However, we can still manage to get Miss Luo out of the base.

Luo Ning pulled Xiao Jie along, head down, and walked forward. She really wasn't used to Old Man Fu's kind appearance.

Xiao Jie let her hold his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips.

As Luo Ning walked outside, she attracted the attention of many people, who watched her discreetly.

Although this was her first time at the base, many people had witnessed her maneuvering with mutated vultures back at the temporary base.

Someone even filmed it, and it's already been circulating privately in group chats.

"Wait, wait a minute, Luo Ning."

A person wearing a white coat ran over from not far away.

Luo Ning stopped in her tracks, and when the person got closer, she almost didn't recognize him.

Ji Zhoubai bent down to support his legs, "You guys, you guys walked way too fast, I almost couldn't keep up."

As soon as he came out of the operating room, he heard that they had returned, so he rushed over immediately.

He spotted Luo Ning from afar, but she was walking so fast that he had to call out to her for a long time before she stopped.

"Ji Zhoubai? What happened to you, you look like this?"

Luo Ning looked at him in confusion. Although he had dark circles under his eyes when they last met, they hadn't spread to his face!

This time, his dark circles had spread all over his face, and his hair was a mess, like a bird's nest.

His complexion was terrible, his lips were pale, and his face looked much older; he looked at least ten years older than last time.

Luo Ning sighed inwardly, "See? I told you this lousy class shouldn't be taken casually; it easily drains people's life force."

Ji Zhoubai straightened up and ruffled his hair.

"It's all because of this lousy job. I really wish the world could just be destroyed."

Ji Zhoubai was filled with resentment; he hadn't slept through the night for over half a month.

"Is there something you need?"

Luo Ning took two steps back. She was in a good mood and didn't want Ji Zhoubai's negative energy to affect her; it would be bad luck.

Ji Zhoubai remembered why he had called her over, and his gaze towards her became intense.

God knows that during this time, besides not sleeping well, he also didn't eat any proper meals.

He ate all the vegetables he bought from Luoning in just a few days.

It's hard to go from extravagance to frugality. Ever since he ate Luo Ning's cooking, he no longer wanted to eat the big white steamed buns and dry bread in the canteen.

"Do you still have any of the dishes you made last time? Sell me some more."

Ji Zhoubai looked at Luo Ning as if she were his savior.

Luo Ning understood. "We don't have any right now, but if you really want one, you can place an order. The price is right, and you can even order from the menu. It will be delivered the next day."

Ji Zhoubai's disappointed expression changed. "Really?"

"Of course, but the price..."

Luo Ning raised his hand and rubbed his fingers.

Ji Zhoubai said, "I understand. Two crystal cores for one dish, no problem."

Luo Ning gave a friendly smile. "My dishes are fine, but yours are the problem."

"What's wrong with me?"

"The price of each dish has now been changed to twenty crystal cores, and each dish must be a second-tier crystal core with attributes."

"You're robbing me! No, even robbery isn't this fast. Twenty second-tier crystal cores with attributes, that's more than ten times what you used to offer. And you even wanted second-tier crystal cores with attributes. You're so greedy."

Ji Zhoubai stepped back in shock. He had expected the girl to raise prices, but he hadn't expected her to do it so recklessly.

Her price is rising faster than gold.

Luo Ning smiled, completely unconcerned about his attitude.

"That's the price, do you want it or not? And if you need home delivery, there will be an extra charge."

"You're charging extra for home delivery?" Ji Zhoubai exclaimed in surprise.

Luo Ning crossed her arms. "What, before the apocalypse you couldn't pay for delivery when you ordered takeout? It's so dangerous outside now, I'm glad I didn't ask you for the danger allowance, but if you want to pick it up yourself, that's fine too."

"You, you, you, you..."

Ji Zhoubai felt a little dizzy; he hadn't felt this way even after working non-stop for three days and three nights.

"How much do you want to add?"

Seeing that he looked like he was about to collapse, Luo Ning thought for a moment and then spoke, considering that he was a regular customer.

"One hundred second-tier crystal cores with attributes at a time!"

Ji Zhoubai's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

He made preparations, but clearly he didn't prepare enough.

"You're so heartless, so incredibly heartless! I'm going to sue you, I'm going to take it all the way to the central government."

Zhou Jibai pointed a trembling finger at Luo Ning, his voice filled with sorrow.

Why is God so unfair? Why isn't he the one who has so many resources? If he had those resources, he would have that culinary skill too.

He was certain that he would make sure he ate his fill every day.

If they can't finish eating it, they sell it to Luo Ning, and sell it for a higher price than she does.

Luo Ning bent down to look at him. "So? Have you decided? Do you want to buy? We accept pre-orders! Limited time and quantity, so don't miss out!"

"Buy it, I want to buy it!" Ji Zhoubai said through gritted teeth.

He hasn't had a proper meal in ages, so what can he do about the high price? Does that mean he should just stop eating altogether?

Why does he work so hard? It's so he can eat whatever he wants whenever he wants.

"Okay, fifty crystal cores as a deposit." Luo Ning stood up and smiled at Ji Zhoubai.

Ji Zhoubai angrily took out the crystal core and placed it in Luo Ning's hand.

Luo Ning accepted the crystal core and gave Xiao Jie a sly smile.

"Xiao Jie is in charge of the accounts. Welcome to our first returning customer, Mr. Ji Zhoubai."
