Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

When Yu Xiaowei was in the car, the car was heading towards Jinhai City. It was then that everyone discovered that the big little crayfish "Little Red Skin" that had been hiding on the other side of the car was now moving with the convoy.

During the previous fast-moving journey, the little red-skinned boy seemed to be tired and chose to lie down in the shade of the headlights, and was not caught up until the car started moving again.

When the group arrived at the convoy, they came from the back. Little Red stayed quietly in a corner, focusing all his attention on the group, so that no one noticed that a child had just walked out of the car. They didn't care about children like Xiao Xiaobao, so the addition of Xiaobao didn't affect their mentality, but made them more relaxed. He looked more like a family member, which made the other party believe what Yu Xiaowei said earlier.

It was not until the vehicle started moving that one of them looked in surprise and found a huge lobster crawling up and running behind them.

"What is that?" They were originally preparing to do something bad, so they did not use their smartphones, but instead used lightweight handheld walkie-talkies, because current phone cards are too easy to expose their locations. So they bought walkie-talkies to facilitate communication.

However, they did not expect that in the current environment with poor signal, the walkie-talkie could become a convenient means for people who are close to each other. Therefore, the leader in the same car with Yu Xiaowei turned to Yu Xiaowei in the back seat and asked: "Is that what we encountered when we were fishing? It seems to have signs of mutation and seems to be smarter than ordinary lobsters. We gave it some food and it seemed to have a special liking for us. It followed us all the way like a puppy following behind."

Yu Xiaowei couldn't reveal that this was the result of her animal training. "It's just that we happened to encounter a lobster that seemed to have mutated and was smarter while fishing. We provided food to it and it seemed to appreciate us, so it followed us." She just made up some excuses to answer the question. "So that's how it is?" After hearing this, the man paused for a while and then asked, "Was it attracted by the food we made?"

"Of course I was responsible for preparing all the food." Yu Xiaowei nodded confidently, "No wonder."

"That makes sense. But girl, your name is... Your cooking skills are really amazing."

The man was full of admiration for this. He was picky by nature, and today he tasted a lot of Yu Xiaowei's delicacies. The taste is still lingering in his mouth. "If I could taste it again, I would definitely enjoy it more!" He also regretted that he did not try it first and let his subordinates taste it first.

She went on to answer, "Oh, I grew up knowing that my father was a first-class chef, so I followed him in the kitchen to learn cooking skills since I was young." There was a mixture of truth and falsehood in her words. In fact, her father was indeed a first-class chef, and she had been learning the skills by rolling around in the stove since she was young. But whether she was also a well-known chef, Yu Xiaowei did not specifically emphasize this point.

"No wonder, he has such superb cooking skills at such a young age, it's obviously due to genetics!" The leader said as he looked at the red-skinned dragon following behind the car, "I think we are lucky to have such a young chef! If we can collect more food resources from similar creatures in the future, maybe our team will be unstoppable."

In the past, they were limited by many factors and only enjoyed a dominant position in a small area, but now the whole world is no longer peaceful, and they may be one step closer to their original grand ideal goal. Thinking of this, the leader looked at Yu Xiaowei in the rearview mirror again: "I want to make good use of this smart little female chef and tap her potential."

However, although Zhang Sheng and others felt more and more relaxed as they followed them along the way, they were worried about Yu Xiaowei's safety in their hearts, so the vehicle always stayed close behind.

"Sister Xiaowei, we are about to reach Haijin City. Where can we find the food you mentioned?" After trying the food made by Xiaowei, the group had not been able to eat properly for two consecutive days. They were completely intoxicated by its deliciousness, so they decided to let Xiaowei go with them to find a source of food. Now that they arrived in Haijin City, the leader asked Xiaowei this question. They were eager to find ingredients quickly so that they could have a good feast at night and ensure a good sleep.

Xiaowei looked out the window. There was still some distance from the current location to the city center, but she realized that these people could still be used. As the city area approached, the number of zombies would increase dramatically. At this time, it would be safer to have external aid to help resist the external threat than to launch a direct raid.

"Let's drive inside! We need to find a place with a food market, but we are not familiar with this place. I have a good friend who lives nearby, so we should pick her up first. Then, ask her to guide us in finding food."

Hearing this, the team leader shook his head and said, "That won't work. Your friend must be from the city center. It's already afternoon, and if we drive in, the sun will be setting. The city center is too dangerous at night, so we should prioritize finding food to cook and meet our basic survival needs."

The leader's words were reasonable and cautious. Obviously, he was not someone who would act rashly. He immediately rejected Xiaowei's plan.

"I must find my friend first. I must make sure she is safe." Xiao Wei tried to call Gong Youqing several times, but to no avail, considering that she had not received any news from her during the trip. This might be because the communication infrastructure was destroyed in this accident.

"If you can't find the ingredients, then..." The leader stretched out his gun and responded in a threatening manner, warning Xiaowei not to ignore this last sentence.

Knowing what he meant, Xiaowei took a deep breath, stared at the muzzle of the gun flashing in the shadows, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll let her drive ahead and lead the way."

The leader took back his gun, but still held the weapon tightly in his hand, ready to turn again to control or threaten Xiaowei and her group at any time. Following the memories and knowledge of her previous life, Xiaowei planned to lead this group through the outer defense zone and head directly to a meat processing plant. She had found a large amount of frozen high-quality meat resources here in her previous life. With the assistance of this new space, Xiaowei would never waste this opportunity, because it was undoubtedly the safest way for them to obtain meat, except for the mutant beasts.

Thinking of this, everyone came to the meat processing plant. The density of zombies here is relatively low, because most of the practitioners directly related to food safety, especially those in such large enterprises, have high requirements for hygiene. Before the end of the world, people with poor health did not go to work, so it is not common to reduce the proportion of zombies.

Most of the people who turned into zombies suffered external attacks and mutations during their departure, which resulted in a very small number of zombies in the factory. At the same time, the meat products stored in the storage area were almost all kept refrigerated and fresh, and were tightly isolated by refrigeration equipment. For those zombies who could not sense smells or recognize noises, they naturally avoided this area.

Deal with the ** part as soon as possible, as it will attract a large number of zombies because of the ** of blood. There may even be some zombie-like creatures inside, but if you can avoid these specific creatures, you can complete the entire journey safely and smoothly and evacuate this area.

"This is the target." Yu Xiaowei pointed to the factory in front of him and said to the leader, "It's here. But I don't know where to get the specific ingredients. It's better for us to act separately." The leader responded, "My men will naturally find it. You just need to sit in the car and wait."

However, Yu Xiaowei immediately became anxious after hearing this: "This won't work... How can I get the ingredients while I'm waiting here? The original intention of coming here is to collect more ingredients and put them into the space. This is very important for our future. There are not only fresh meats here, but also many sausages and some canned meats. Although these are not helpful for us to accumulate points, they are convenient to use. No one knows what will happen after the end of the world. If we can't find food to cook, these things will become a great food choice. So I can't miss this opportunity."

The leader looked at her anxious look, narrowed his eyes slightly, and picked up the **. "Do they know what kind of ingredients you need? The quality of food also determines the taste. You personally supervised the collection of ingredients before, and I have to go there anyway. If you are not too sure, I promise to only bring my brother in. As for the rest of the members staying outside, it should be okay, right?" Yu Xiaowei thought about it and answered.

She originally wanted to get everyone else to act together to get more food, but considering the future, she had to temporarily give up this short-sighted benefit.

"Only keep the driver and the little boy, and another male member can also be brought along." The leader thought of the reason she gave, and believed that he had some people under him who could cook and might be able to choose ingredients better. But even so, considering that although there are fewer zombies here, it may not be absolutely safe, it is not feasible to transport large amounts of supplies.

However, after finishing his explanation, he added to Yu Xiaowei: "But we still have to bring our team members in."

"That's a good idea! But it's better to bring only one person, otherwise too many people will attract the attention of the zombies. You should also let the internal personnel distribute more." Yu Xiaowei thought about it and replied. If there are not many people, she can always find a way to get out. After all, those abilities that can be exchanged for points and have various effects are still affordable.

"Good decision. Let's get off the bus and adjust our plans.
