Quickly returning to the restaurant, Xiao Feng felt utterly exhausted.
"These mutated pigeons may not be very aggressive, but they’re highly insulting. They couldn’t beat you, so they left you a ’gift’!"
After resting for a while, Xiao Feng got up and began to prepare today’s ingredients.
"By the way, I wonder how the little girl is doing!"
With this thought, Xiao Feng cut a piece of fresh goat meat, then headed to the backyard alley.
To his delight, the little girl arrived early today, and her appearance was no longer eerie.
"Hey, little sister, you’re here quite early!"
The little girl didn’t say anything.
Xiao Feng took out a white crystal core from his palm. This time, he intended to see if the little girl would take the core from his hand.
As the little girl approached step by step, Xiao Feng’s heart raced. His skill "Instant Return" was ready to be used.
Three meters, two meters, one meter...
When the little girl stood one meter away from Xiao Feng, she slowly extended her right hand. Her pale arm lacked any sign of blood, and her small hand’s back had sharp, claw-like nails measuring about 6 centimeters, reminiscent of the zombies seen on TV. In the gaps between her nails, there were traces of fresh blood and dirt.
Slowly, she reached out to touch the core. As soon as she touched it, she quickly pulled back.
Seeing this, Xiao Feng let out a relieved breath.
"Will you be good and listen to me? I’ll give you a crystal core every day, alright?"
Xiao Feng tried to reassure the little girl and then stood up slowly. At the same time, he took out a piece of fresh goat meat.
"Yesterday, I saw you taking goat meat home. Do you have any family at your school?"
Xiao Feng handed over the goat meat to the little girl.
Yesterday, Xiao Feng had thought it over carefully. Her bringing back the goat meat might mean that there were her relatives in the neighboring elementary school. Moreover, these relatives were most likely not humans, as only zombies would be interested in raw meat. However, the little girl still retained some human-like thinking, so subconsciously, she would protect those relatives.
After the encounter with the little girl, Xiao Feng returned to the restaurant to continue processing the food ingredients. After finishing the food preparation, he noticed that the shelter’s search team had not arrived yet.
"It’s strange. Why haven’t they come today?" If they didn’t come, the cooperation plan that Xiao Feng had arranged would be in jeopardy.
Furthermore, today Xiao Feng had created a new signature dish, Braised Pigeon. This dish, priced at 5,000 units of energy, was raised by twenty percent after Xiao Feng’s adjustment, now being sold for 6,000.
With the signature dish of Braised Pigeon and its corresponding price and effects written on a small blackboard, Xiao Feng sat back contentedly.
Lying on a chaise lounge near the door, Xiao Feng leisurely drank tea and basked in the sun.
Just as Xiao Feng started to feel a little drowsy, the sound of a gunshot suddenly rang out. At the same time, a bullet passed through the sky, striking Xiao Feng’s body.
The bullet fell off Xiao Feng’s skin, startling him awake from his nap. Dazedly looking at the fallen bullet, Xiao Feng was momentarily stunned before glancing outside.
Without a doubt, someone was sniping him from outside!
Looking around, he noticed a sniper rifle retracting on the opposite building across from the restaurant.
"Oh my goodness! They dare to assassinate me?" Xiao Feng immediately burst into laughter.
Subsequently, he extended a middle finger directly at the building across the way.
However, he was disappointed that he couldn’t immediately go over and expose those guys.
If he left the restaurant, they could shoot him in the head with a single shot.
"If the restaurant had some offensive weapons, that would be great!" Xiao Feng couldn’t help but think.
The System seemed to sense Xiao Feng’s desires and issued another prompt.
[Prompt: Please raise the level of your restaurant as soon as possible. The higher the restaurant level, the stronger its scale, defense, and offensive capabilities.]
Hearing this, Xiao Feng was immediately filled with excitement.
"Do you think that if the level is raised, the restaurant could install an intercontinental missile?"
[Prompt: of course!]
"Haha, that would be amazing!" Xiao Feng burst into laughter.
Meanwhile, in the office building opposite the restaurant, a bearded and scruffy man was angrily scolding the sniper who had just failed to eliminate their target.
"You can’t even hit him?"
"No, I did hit him!"
The sniper explained with an embarrassed look on his face.
"You hit him, and he’s still alive and kicking! Who do you think you’re fooling? You used to be a special forces sniper, but now you’re not even worth dog sh*t!"
The bearded, scruffy man scolded the sniper with a lack of patience.
The sniper immediately lowered his head and stood still obediently.
"Hmph! You’re lucky this time! I’ll personally deal with you later!"
The bearded and scruffy man sneered.
Then he turned around and instructed a man behind him, "You, take the bomb, sneak over to their front door, and plant some timed explosives. When we detonate it later, it will definitely attract a horde of zombies. We won’t even need to lift a finger; the zombies will take care of him."
"Deputy Commander, this plan won’t work!"
The man had a bitter expression as he explained, "Yesterday, your son was carrying over ten bombs on his body. After he was killed by the boss and thrown onto the street, the bombs immediately exploded. At that time, the street was already surrounded by over a hundred thousand zombies, but strangely, not a single zombie entered the restaurant. There’s something fishy about this place!"
The man speaking was one of the group that had come with Bai Meng, tasked with dealing with the situation in Yulin.
"Do you think I’m an idiot?"
The bearded and scruffy man grabbed the man by the collar, lifting him off the ground.
"A hundred thousand zombies gathering there, and not attacking the restaurant? I seriously suspect you’ve already been bought off by Bai Meng."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in the bearded, scruffy man’s eyes.
Hearing this, the man repeatedly waved his hands and explained, "Boss, I swear I’m telling the truth! I’m telling the truth! You can ask the others if you don’t believe me!"
"Hmph! Do you think I would believe you?"
The bearded and scruffy man brought the man to the window and then promptly tossed him out.
"Ah!"
A painful scream came from outside.
Thud!
Following that, a heavy object hit the ground.
Looking out, they saw a large group of zombies gathering around the body, eagerly devouring it.
"Let’s go, take a look!"
After throwing the man out, the bearded and scruffy man turned and led the group toward the restaurant across the street.
Inside the restaurant, Xiaofeng saw the scene outside and was momentarily stunned.
But before long, the approaching group from the opposite building reached them, and they didn’t appear to have good intentions. Xiao Feng couldn’t help but smile.
