Fu Cao was a hetero-powered, water-type ability user . Since the school had a water-type user themselves, Zhang Zhongmin also learned about their abilities; they had no offensive skills and could only use their abilities as a water supplier .

    Of course, Fu Cao was unaware of Zhang Zhongmin thoughts, if she knew, she would have definitely muddied his face . Who said that the Water-type user could only be used as a water supplier!? Who said they had no relation with aggressiveness?

   To him, Fu Cao, who was willing to live outside, but not inside school, was definitely self-preserving and afraid of trouble .

    She knew a lot of things that others didn’t, and had also saved them in the first place by telling them that zombies could be burned to death .

    However, he had never seen Fu Cao face off against a zombie till now, which made him come to a conclusion that she was all brain no brawn . If Fu Cao was really perfect in terms of combat too, she wouldn’t have been chased like that by a zombie when she was saving the mother and daughter .

    So in the end, Fu Cao’s combat power was not strong .

     It was obvious that she needed the nucleus a lot more than them, but never does the work herself . Rather, she took another approach for the crystal nuclei, which was why he thought that Fu Cao’s strength, if not low, was at least average .

    Being able to defend yourself doesn’t make you a fighter .

    In fact, Zhang Zhongmin wanted to pull Fu Cao over for training as well, but looking at her, it was impossible for her to be willing . But he never gave up, it was just that he had annoyed Fu Cao yesterday that he dropped the plan for now .

    Zhang Zhongmin decided that later he will definitely get Fu Cao to join the training as well .

    Qiu Yinlan nodded and reluctantly smiled, “I see…… . ”

    Watching Qiu Yinlan stagger away, Zhang Zhongmin sighed . The thought of his parents and sister, he also wondered what may have become of them .

    Zhang Zhongmin was a native of City B . While both his parents were retired, he also had a sister who was in college studying in the same city . Why wouldn’t he too be so anxious to go back to City B right away?

    But… . . he knew, he could not leave the people here and be h.e.l.l bent on going .

    He had also seen Xiao Bin crying secretly once, holding a picture in his hands tightly as if it was his lifeline . Although Zhang Zhongmin didn’t go over, he knew that the photo was of Xiao Bin and his girlfriend together .

    But now no one can communicate with others at all, and everyone is oblivious to what was happening to their loved ones who are not around .

    Zhang Zhongmin slowly closed his eyes, his hands dropped to the sides and he clenched them into fists . His veins bulged out of his hands, and only after taking a few deep breaths, did his whole body gradually relaxed .

    Right now he was away from everyone’s sight, from the day he became the leader of the group, he could never be capricious . The more the situation calls for it, the more he has to stay calm . He had to wait till everything was safe here, till everyone was strong enough to protect this school, only then could he go .

    —

    By the time Lu Xuan arrived at the exclusive hotel, Fu Cao was already busy in the kitchen .

    “What are you cooking today?” Lu Xuan walked over, he looked at Fu Cao’s fast speed which was nowhere like a novice and couldn’t help but swallow his mouth: “Do you need any help?”

    Fu Cao, who had been free all day and night, waved her hand, “No need, just sit and make yourself at home, it will be fine for a while . ”

    She had read quite a few gourmet books, most of them were turned down by her . She only looked at what felt good and wanted to make it, just like this rotten meat tofu .

    She prepared the onion, ginger, garlic, pepper and bean paste according to the book beforehand, took out the fatty meat and removed the skin of the pig . She then took out two knives and quickly chopped and smashed the meat into a puree .

    The tofu was also cut into even little squares by her and set aside to heat the oil over the flame, waiting for the oil to heat well first, then letting the oil cool down a little bit over low flame .

    At this time, she threw ginger, garlic and pepper down and stir-fried . Then she put the chopped meat down and stir-fried again .

She tossed the bean paste into the pan .

    The meat was very aromatic and one could clearly tell that it was a bit more flavorful than yesterday’s dongpo meat .

    This mouth watering fragrance made the school’s ‘only bread-eating students’ stomach rumble loudly .

    Bewildered, they tried sniffing the air, “Who’s stir-frying? I can smell the stir-fried meat… . ”

    “Pull it down, at this time of apocalypse, who’s in the right mind will be willing to fry?” The man next to him rolled his eyes, but he also took a deep breath and there was indeed the smell of stir-fried meat .

    Zhang Zhongmin, who had just walked over: “…… . ”

    He looked puzzled at the east gate and sighed helplessly in his heart . It’s a good thing that it was outside the school, these students were suspicious but didn’t have the guts to go out and find out .

    Just smelling that scent, their already empty stomach felt even hungrier .

    Wasn’t this poisoning? Zhang Zhongmin thought resentfully .

    Fu Cao put the tofu in and tossed it, waiting for the frothy meat and oil to evenly coat the tofu before injecting water into the pan, just enough to submerge the tofu .

    At this time, she added the soy sauce, salt and a little chicken extract .

    One side of the shallot was chopped for reserve .

    The first thing that Lu Xuan thought was that it was finally over, but Fu Cao took out the vegetables that he had eaten yesterday too, but what Lu Xuan couldn’t comprehend was  from where these fresh vegetables came from .

    She chopped the vegetables and poured them into a crus.h.i.+ng blender with water to beat it, and when it turned into a paste, she poured it into a small bowl and added eggs to it .

    “What are you doing?” Lu Xuan couldn’t help but ask, after seeing those green things that had been shredded into a pulp . He was somewhat disgusted…… . but he didn’t dare to say anything .

    Ever since he knew about yesterday’s incident with Captain Zhang, he had been more careful while using words in front of Fu Cao .

    “Making egg cakes . ” Fu Cao said, and poured in the flour, adding it little by little while she stirred it constantly . When the mixture was well mixed, it was still a green paste, just not too thick and not too light .

    Lu Xuan glanced at the book that was still sitting there on one side, and on it was written Jade Egg Cake .

    At this moment he realized that Fu Cao was really not lying to him, she’s really learning to cook .

    He smacked his lips as he remembered the taste of dongpo meat he ate yesterday . At her level, business wouldn’t be bad even if she had opened a restaurant before the apocalypse . The taste was really good .

    Not to mention the fact that she was just a mere beginner .

    Fu Cao took out the pan, dabbed a thin layer of oil on it, and once it was hot: she scooped up a spoonful of the seasoned flour and poured it on the pan .

    She slightly tilted the pan and the seasoned batter moved rapidly along it . In a matter of a few seconds, it solidified into a thin, round cake around the size of the pan .

    After flipping it over for a while, it rose up a little and was done .

    Fu Caofu made forty jade egg cakes, while she was still taking care of the minced meat and tofu along the way .

    It didn’t take long before the egg cakes and minced meat and tofu were ready to be served, and side by side Fu Cao also prepared the dipping sauce for him to serve with the egg cakes .

    “Here, here, have a taste~ . ” Fu Cao stretched out her silvery-white hands and rolled up the thin egg cake, then dipped the dipping sauce for Lu Xuan .

    Lu Xuan said, “I’ll do it myself, you eat it too . ”

    “I’ve eaten already and am not hungry . This is all for you, how about a quick taste?” Fu Cao’s eyes lit up as she looked at him .

    Lu Xuan only held it after she said that, but he further inquired as he looked at Fu Cao: “You really ate it?”

    Fu Cao directly rolled her eyes, and said in a good mood, ” Do you think I don’t know when to eat or not? Would I be still starving myself if I had all the food I could get?”

    That being said, it was reasonable enough and indeed seemed to be the case .

    Lu Xuan ate it, and the egg cake was a blend of fresh vegetables . The flavours, the thin egg biscuits were very tough and tasty .

    The omelet itself has no other flavor and tasted even better when dipped in the dip .

    “Frothy meat and tofu, try it too~ . ” Fu Cao didn’t have to ask him how it tasted, she could tell from his expression that it was very good .

    Unfortunately… . she couldn’t eat it ah! 

    Fu Cao was resentful, why was it that was she still a zombie after being reborn? If it wasn’t for being a zombie, she’d get to have a taste of her craft .

    The tofu was tender and the flavors were completely incorporated into the tofu . He dug in with a small spoon, and therein it was tofu, soup, frothy meat and chopped scallions . It was just like after putting in your mouth and eating it, you can’t help but gasp . So delicious .  

    “You eat, I’ll go wash the potpot and by the way, you guys are going out for supplies tomorrow, right?” Fu Cao walked into the kitchen and washed all the sinks that had previously been filled with vegetables together .

    “Yeah, right . I’m leaving early tomorrow morning, and won’t be coming over for lunch a little while since I’d have to catch up on some training . ” Lu Xuan sought to eat in the plate while contemplating on how to divide half of the crystal nucleus he had dug up and give it to Fu Cao .

    But after looking at Fu Cao who was busy was.h.i.+ng the pans, he secretly tucked a few egg cakes up his sleeve .

    He was already wearing clothes appropriate for spring, just after putting them in the sleeves, his arms were uncomfortably glued to the egg cake . Still, he held back that uncomfortable feeling and sped up his eating .

    Fu Cao moved slightly, then continued as if nothing happened .

    After Lu Xuan finished eating, he went over to help wash the dishes, and when he washed them, since there was something in his sleeve it was a little inconvenient, and his movements were very awkward .

    Fu Cao also pretended not to see it .

    Only when he got out of the exclusive hotel, did Lu Xuan feel relieved . He was afraid that Fu Cao would find out and not be happy, but while he was eating happily by himself and everyone else was hungry . He was not comfortable in his heart .

    But these ten egg cakes weren’t that many, and they’re not likely to be available to everyone . So Lu Xun only took it back to the people in his platoon, although the small team only got one each, only a small part of the large piece .

    But after eating the cake, the cla.s.s shed tears .

    “Captain, where did you get this from?” Someone asked curiously .

    “Eat yours, you’ll find it later, and if you kill the zombies hard you might also be able to eat good food . All you need to do is dug out the crystal nuclei in the heads of the zombies and you’ll be able to get a warm meal . ”

    Lu Xuan did not say anything from where it came from, but he knew it was also impossible to hide it . So he said it straight to the point .

    The good thing was since the cooled cakes didn’t give off much of a smell, no one else got to know about it’s existence except the company 16 .

    “Crystal nuclei can be exchanged for food? Where do we change it?”

    Isn’t it the same as what happens in the novel, where the crystal nuclei later becomes the new currency?

    “You’ll see when you do . ” Lu Xuan never mentioned it before, but everyone knew that he would occasionally go out to kill zombies . So their hearts felt very moved .

    Because they guessed that it was for the food that the captain had traded with the crystal nuclei when he kills the zombies himself .

    Except for the fact Lu Xuan was a supernatural-ability user, for the first time, everyone truly believed in him . If they were to switch positions, even if they knew they could exchange their crystal nuclei for food, they wouldn’t necessarily exchange their own crystal nuclei for everyone to have a taste .

    Ten egg cakes, it wouldn’t have been expensive before the apocalypse, but now… . .

    When Fu Cao saw that Lu Xuan had brought back the egg cakes for his platoon, she faintly picked her eyebrows up, but she didn’t give Lu Xuan any evaluation for doing so .

   Yet it seemed like it was a good thing for the platoon to be this moved?

    Forget it, she’ll just pretend she doesn’t know . She stretched and counted the crystal nuclei in her s.p.a.ce .

 Fu Cao looked outside the door grimly, bracing her chin in palm, she signed . They’re not leaving until tomorrow .
