Chapter 232: This Zombie Is under My Protection! 24

No one expected Song Wenyi, who once held absolute power in the base, to die just like that. For a time, everyone was anxious, fearing the new leader's harshness and that they would be left with no way to survive.

However, as the morning passed and noon approached, there was still no movement. It was common knowledge that previous leaders, upon taking power, would issue a few commands to demonstrate their authority. Those who failed to comply would be expelled from the base. Yet now, even as noon passed, there was no sign of any such pronouncements.

Elsewhere, Shen Yi was sleeping soundly, holding Su Tang in his arms.

After killing Song Wenyi last night and returning to the apartment, it was almost dawn. Although Shen Yi could go without sleep for several days, with a soft, fragrant presence in his arms, how could he resist?

Even though he was reluctant to let go, seeing that it was already noon, he had to get up and cook for his little doctor. Otherwise, she would get hungry, and her stomach would act up again.

When he made crystal dumplings before, the filling was all vegetarian. Although she ate them happily, he still noticed a fleeting sadness. She must have been craving meat.

Thus, while everyone was anxiously waiting for the new leader's orders, the first command turned out to be a request for meat.

The one delivering the meat was the same Esper who had nearly been decapitated last night, Liu Nan. No, he wasn't even an Esper anymore. Without his abilities, he was just an ordinary person. However, since he had survived Shen Yi's wrath, the others hadn't rushed to kick him out of the Esper squad.

He knew, though, that he no longer had a place in the Esper squad. As soon as Shen Yi spoke, he was the first to run over.

"Boss, my name is Liu Nan. This is the shrimp and meat you requested."

The base had a small farm that previously supplied Song Wenyi exclusively. Occasionally, others got to eat from it, but not often. Now that Song Wenyi was dead, if Shen Yi wanted it, they would naturally offer it with both hands.

Seeing Shen Yi accept the items with a cold expression but no killing intent, Liu Nan boldly followed him.

Then, he saw the boss skillfully peeling shrimp and cooking rice.

"Boss, your skills are amazing!"

"Whoever follows the boss will definitely enjoy delicious food!"

"Oh my, this meat smells so good~"

Liu Nan was a chatterbox by nature. However, faced with Shen Yi, he eventually touched his nose and said awkwardly, "Boss, where's your wife?"

Others thought Shen Yi was the leader, but he knew that Su Tang was the one truly in charge. Therefore, if he wanted to stay, he needed Su Tang's approval. To curry favor with her, he even brought out his treasured cola.

Su Tang was woken by the noise. However, when she smelled the aroma in the air, her annoyance vanished.

Opening the door, she saw three dishes and a soup already laid out on the table. In the past, this would have been an ordinary home-cooked meal, but now, in the apocalypse, it was a super luxurious feast.

Looking at the long-lost meat, Su Tang couldn't stay angry at Shen Yi.

Shen Yi said, "The rice needs to simmer a bit longer. Want to eat the dishes first?"

Su Tang had no objections and picked up her chopsticks to grab a piece of braised pork. At that moment, Liu Nan darted over and took out the cola he had treasured for two years from his arms.

"Sister-in-law, have a drink!"

Su Tang's eyelid twitched. Looking at the cola on the table, she surprisingly didn't correct his address. "It's been preserved quite well."

Liu Nan replied, "Of course! I've protected it for over two years. Not a single bit of fizz has escaped."

Su Tang said, "Well, it's a pity it's expired."

Liu Nan was startled. In that instant, Su Tang saw the collapse of his faith.

"No, how could it expire? Wine gets better with age!" As he spoke, he was almost in tears.

Su Tang was certain this guy was an idiot, but she also sympathized with him. "Take a look at the expiration date."

The shelf life was only one year. Now, the apocalypse had been going on for over two years. Liu Nan couldn't help but burst into tears. He had treasured this item for so long, and now he was told it was spoiled and had to be thrown away. How could he accept that?

Taking a deep breath, he opened the cola and chugged it down in one go.

At this time, Shen Yi came over with the rice. "What's wrong?"

Su Tang said, "You should spend less time with him in the future." Seeing Shen Yi's confusion, she added, "He's so silly. What if he infects my Uncle Shen?"

Shen Yi laughed. He had been worried that she would be angry, given his somewhat presumptuous behavior yesterday. However, he didn't regret it. That layer of paper had to be broken sooner or later, and Su Tang would find out eventually.

It was the apocalypse. Who knew how long they could live? Since he liked her, loved her, he naturally had to express it.

Although she had bristled, she hadn't really thrown a tantrum, only kicking his foot.

He suddenly remembered that people used to say girls were easily shy. He had kissed her in front of others, so she must be shy.

However, if Su Tang knew what he was thinking, she would definitely laugh. After so many missions, she had become indifferent.

"Don't worry, even if I become silly, I'll still like you."

Su Tang choked on her food at the sudden confession.

Shen Yi calmly handed her water, further convinced that she was just easily embarrassed.

Despite the interruption, Su Tang enjoyed her meal. Her stomach was now full. Looking at the idiot beside her who was treating cola like alcohol, she sighed.

"What do you need from me?"

He had been so protective of the cola, yet he was willing to give it to her. He must have something to ask for.

The cola was finished, but Liu Nan still held the bottle, his eyes red from crying. It was a pitiful sight.

He looked no older than twenty, with clear eyes. Before the apocalypse, he might not even have been an adult.

"Um, I've lost my Esper ability. I want to find something to do." When talking about finding a job, his dejected demeanor changed, and his eyes lit up. "I used to be really good with computers. When it comes to the internet, I'm not bragging…"

Before he could finish, Su Tang interrupted, "But there's no internet now."

The small base struggled to maintain its power supply, let alone the internet.

However…

Su Tang thought of those other bases, which were a huge hidden danger. She asked the system, "How is the network situation in Area A?"

System: "Several major bases rely on radio waves for communication. Frankly, your and Shen Yi's wanted posters have been upgraded from text to pictures. The Security Group has even dispatched special personnel to search for you. You can't stay in this small base for long."

With the arrival of the apocalypse, there was no order. The Security Group effectively ruled half of the world's bases.

If she and Shen Yi wanted to overthrow these people, they didn't have enough power on their own.

So, she turned her gaze to Liu Nan. "Can you decipher radio waves?"

She needed to access the Security Group's firsthand information. Although she had the system, she couldn't tell Shen Yi about it. Therefore, the best way was to find someone to decipher the transmissions.

Hearing this, Liu Nan immediately nodded. "That's too easy! Whose radio waves do you want to decipher?"

Su Tang replied, "The Security Group's."

Liu Nan was shocked, but after a moment, he became eager to try. That was the number one Security Group!

Before his excitement could fully bloom, his stomach started to ache. He clutched his stomach, looking helpless. "Boss, my stomach hurts! I need to borrow the bathroom!"
