In a frigid apocalypse, she fed her boyfriend until he became a zombie king.

Two heaters were added on the first floor, making the room warm and cozy, with the aroma of food and the sweet smell of roasted sweet potatoes filling the air.

The table was steaming hot, and each dish was served in a very generous portion, giving one a sense of security and comfort.

Maruko had already eaten her fill and jumped onto the sofa for a nap.

The group sat around the dining table.

Cheng Nianli couldn't help but exclaim, "Old Han, you're amazing!"

Han Mingjie came out of the kitchen carrying a pot of stew: "From now on, call me Chef."

The stew pot was placed in front of Fu Yan with a "thud," and the tender pork knuckle inside wobbled a few times. Han Mingjie said heartily, "Brother Yan! Here you go!"

Fu Yan was very satisfied: "Good job, Chef."

"You're too kind, Brother Yan!"

Once everyone had arrived, they started eating.

Wenren Lei took a bite of the chestnut chicken wing; it was delicious, fragrant, and flavorful, and the meat fell off the bone with a single suck. He chewed and swallowed, then picked up another one and asked, "Chef, are you from Northeast China?"

Han Mingjie nodded: "That's right, the people over there are all hidden master chefs. They can learn to cook in no time."

Yi Yang gave a thumbs-up as he ate: "The taste is absolutely amazing."

The crowd devoured the food in a whirlwind, even the soup was snatched up, and everyone leaned back in their chairs, rubbing their bellies.

Yi Yang burped and picked up a plastic bag from the ground: "Yesterday's crystal cores."

Wenren Lei took it and opened it. The crystal cores had been cleaned. There was one green one and six white ones.

They dug up so many in half a day. It seems that not only have the zombies evolved, but there are also more ordinary zombies with white crystal cores.

Wenren Lei put the green crystal core that Fu Yan had found yesterday into the container and instructed, "Don't go out today, the snow is too heavy."

Yi Yang said, "Okay, this is a good opportunity to practice my superpowers. I've noticed that my physique has also improved, and I'm much more resistant to cold. Yesterday, I just jumped around a bit, and I was able to jump as high as the second floor."

Wenren Lei said, "I'll try it later too."

"Then you all take your time cultivating, I'll go wash the dishes." Han Mingjie stood up to tidy the table, and everyone else got up to help.

Cheng Nianli pressed him back into the dining chair: "Old Han, you should rest. How can you let the person who cooked wash the dishes?"

Han Mingjie said, "Have your feelings faded? Why are you being so polite to me!"

Yi Yang carried a stack of bowls toward the kitchen: "This is the rule."

Wenren Lei, resting her chin on her hand, watched them tidy up and said, "So, Miss can do housework?"

Cheng Nianli said proudly, "Of course I can! Don't you know how, young master?"

Wenren Lei said, "I'm not very good at it."

Cheng Nianli asked, "Didn't you dislike living with a nanny? How will you take care of yourself if you can't do housework?"

Wenren Lei slumped lazily in her chair and said with a clear conscience, "My brother takes care of me when he's home, and Brother Yan takes care of me when he's not."

Cheng Nianli angrily retorted, "Stop showing off your love!"

When it came to showing off their affection, Wenren Lei deliberately flaunted her ring-adorned hand: "Ahem, ahem!"

"You have a cold?"

"Tsk." Wenren Lei waved her hand. "Ahem!"

"Oh~" Cheng Nianli suddenly realized, "Young Master is wearing a ring! Eh? What happened to that old 'air ring'?"

Wenren Lei instinctively replied, "I'll put it on the Xuanxuan secondhand recycling platform..." Then he realized what he was doing, "Holy crap! What are you doing?!"

Several people at the table burst into laughter.

Wenren Lei sneered: "We're not on the same page as you."

Cheng Nianli wiped away the tears of laughter and said earnestly, "Okay, okay, I know it was from Brother Yan. I sincerely wish you two a long and happy life together, really."

Han Mingjie also said, "I hope that Boss and Brother Yan will live a peaceful and happy life."

Meng Fan said, "Boss and Brother Yan, you must take good care of yourselves."

Wenren Lei sat up abruptly: "Why the sudden emotional outburst?"

Cheng Nianli said, "These are all heartfelt blessings from everyone."

"Alright, alright, stop talking, or I'll get angry." Wenren Lei grabbed the plastic bag, pulled Fu Yan along, and fled.

Wenren Lei pulled Fu Yan and plopped down on the living room carpet.

He poured the crystal cores onto the coffee table and counted them, silently processing his emotions from just now. Suddenly making such a scene, as if someone was about to die.

Wenren Lei separated the crystal core, placed the dumpling on the coffee table, and said to the person and the dog, "It's ready, eat."

Maruko immediately picked up the green crystal core and crunched it down.

At this moment, everyone sat around with hot milk tea in their hands, and gave one cup each to Wenren Lei and Fu Yan.

Cheng Nianli placed a small bowl in front of Wanzi: "You can only drink goat milk."

Maruko licked a mouthful of milk and wagged her tail rapidly: "Woof!"

Fu Yan took the milk tea and took a sip. It had no taste and wasn't as good as the blood pack, so he put it down and stopped drinking it, continuing to eat the crystal cores.

Cheng Nianli rested her chin on her hand and sighed, "If only people with superpowers could eat crystal cores to become stronger, training is so slow."

Wenren Lei sat cross-legged with her legs bent back, her hands resting on the carpet: "Didn't you try it before? There was reproductive isolation."

Han Mingjie humbly asked, "Is this how you use this word?"

Cheng Nianli was speechless: "That's called species isolation, okay?!"

Wenren Lei said nonchalantly, "The meaning is about the same."

Yi Yang put down his milk tea and said with a serious expression, "I almost forgot to mention this."

Han Mingjie asked, "What's wrong?"

Yi Yang said, "It was yesterday. When I was waiting for you guys in the car with Brother Yan, a group of survivors passed by, and I overheard their conversation. Some ordinary people in their neighborhood wanted to awaken their superpowers by eating crystal cores, but they all turned into zombies after eating them."

Wenren asked tearfully, "Is there a zombie virus inside the crystal core too?"

Yi Yang nodded and said, "Yes."

Cheng Nianli felt a wave of fear wash over him: "The class monitor and I also ate crystal cores before!"

Wenren asked with tears in her eyes, "Didn't you two notice anything unusual at the time?"

Yi Yang said, "That's what I was just about to say. That group said they had a wind elemental ability user there who ate one crystal core but didn't feel any change, so he ate five in one go and ended up turning into a zombie on the spot."

Meng Fan analyzed, "That proves that people with superpowers have a stronger resistance to viruses than ordinary people, but they are not immune."

Yi Yang said, "Yeah, luckily Niannian and I only ate one, we didn't dare to eat more."

Wenren Lei pondered for a moment, then asked, "How is that zombie-transformed ability user? Does he still retain his abilities?"

Yi Yang shook his head: "They walked away after that, and I didn't hear them clearly. If you want to know, you'll have to investigate it yourself."

Cheng Nianli said, "I feel he will retain his superpowers. Isn't Brother Yan the best example?"

Everyone looked at Fu Yan, who was quietly eating the crystal core.

Wenren Lei said, "This is not a good thing. Zombies with superpowers are very difficult to deal with."

Yi Yang pulled Meng Fan to his feet and walked outside: "The enemy is still getting stronger, we can't give up now, come with me to the front yard for training."

Cheng Nianli also stood up: "I'll go too!"

The three of them left together, leaving a lot of empty space on the sofa.

Han Mingjie immediately lay down and slumped over: "I'm full and ready to sleep."

Chi Qingmo stood up: "Wake up! Your archery is terrible. Come with me to practice."

Han Mingjie sat up abruptly: "That's a personal attack!"

Chi Qingmo asked coldly, "Are you going or not?"

Han Mingjie immediately backed down: "Go."
