24:00 p.m

From time to time, there were flashes of fire on the watchtower, and there were sporadic gunshots, not only every mercenary who kept vigil, but even those farmers and laborers couldn't sleep, although they didn't need to keep vigil together, but as soon as they lay down, they were awakened by the sound of gunfire coming from overhead, this feeling was really unbearable, even if they believed in the outstanding ability of the group of people under Boss Qin's hands.

In the back kitchen, there is a constantly busy figure, it is Qin Jian himself.

After all, tonight is going to be a vigil with everyone, and if you are idle, you might as well do something meaningful, such as frying two steaks.

At the beginning, he promised to prepare a candlelight dinner for Gu Xue, but he couldn't lose his words, and now he also asked his wife, and his wife agreed, so he naturally ran over to do it.

As for Da Hei Erhei, the gunfight just now caused a lot of fright to them, and when Qin Jian found them, he found that they were hiding in the granary, but fortunately, after feeding them beef, they quickly quieted down and returned to the cage to fall asleep.

After the steak was cooked, the rich aroma immediately spread from the kitchen, and Qin Jian ran out of the back kitchen like a thief, for fear that someone would notice the steak in his hand.

After all, this is their "sole food", and the remaining beef is only enough for the big black and the black to eat, if the beef is sufficient, how can he not have a midnight party for everyone to share, so that everyone can calm down.

Coming to that classic corner position, Gu Xue had already set up the candles and sat there waiting for Qin Jian.

"This must be the most memorable candlelight dinner of my life......" Qin Jian put the steak on the table, and after opening a bottle of red wine, he heard Gu Xue say this with a sigh.

"I'm sorry wife, tonight's plans are all disrupted by this corpse tide, next time we have a candlelight dinner, let's make it at home." Qin Jian said helplessly. Not only did this candlelit dinner drag on to a midnight dinner, but he hadn't finished planting the tree yet, so he had to wait until tomorrow morning.

"Are our plans going to be shelved tomorrow?" Gu Xue asked again.

"You mean organizing a donation drive?" Qin Jian hesitated for a while: "As long as we wake up in the morning and the farm is not surrounded by hundreds of zombies, we will set off directly back to Area C, and all activities will proceed as normal." Qin Jian winked at her and smiled comfortingly.

Gu Xue nodded, looking at the fried bright red and oily steak on the plate, but she didn't have the slightest appetite.

Qin Jian could see that she was still preoccupied, and the specific reason might be because of that "giant face and long neck".

Even he was scared half to death by that boiling, how could his wife not leave a shadow at all?

"Don't worry, wife, there are our people on all sides of the farm, and that thing can't come in." Qin Jian said quietly.

"I know, but I just heard Xu Xin say that that thing is a mutated creature, which will attract more zombies." Gu Xue immediately said worriedly: "If this is the case, then wouldn't our farm be at peace all day long?" Not only do you have to watch out for the monster crawling in every day, but you also have to clean up the zombies, unless you ...... Unless ......"

"Unless you kill it...... you say," Qin Jian shrugged and said.

Gu Xue was stunned, then nodded, and asked cautiously: "Although I don't understand what a second-level mutant is, I understand that that thing must be more powerful than a zombie or a runner, I don't know how many times, right, ...... Is it capable of killing it? ”

Hearing Gu Xue's question, Qin Jian didn't speak at first, but quietly stared at her for two seconds, and the next moment, Qin Jian chuckled.

"It's not funny......" Gu Xue muttered aggrievedly.

"Wife, I don't think this thing is as powerful as the big bad wolf I met in the Doom Forest."

"Big bad wolf?" Gu Xue looked curious and puzzled, she hadn't heard Qin Jian tell about it.

"It's scary at best, and as for its strength, I don't see how powerful it is, otherwise why would it look over the wall and laugh at me instead of going over the wall and killing it?" After Qin Jian said this, he couldn't help but shudder, and he couldn't forget the grinning and bloody face.

Gu Xue thought that what Qin Jian said was right, and continued to ask, "Then how can we find it out and kill it?" ”

"Uh...... That guy was first beaten by you and his flesh and blood was blurred, and then I shot the sand eagle twice, it can be said that he was scarred, and judging from the situation when he escaped before, this guy has some intelligence, so in my opinion, it has long been hiding in the next forest to recuperate, and it will be impossible to come and harass us again for a while. Qin Jian analyzed 1510.

"But if it hadn't gotten away, would it still be able to lure the tide of corpses to the farm?" Gu Xue continued to ask, Qin Jian was a little surprised, and said that his wife was going to fight him to the end? Didn't you say that you have been salivating over steak for a long time, why don't you even look at it now?

"Wife, let's eat first...... The steak is not tasty when it is cold. Then he tried to change the topic of Qin Jian, but the next moment he found that the change of topic failed, and his wife was still chattering with him about it.

"If they are harassed by the tide of corpses all day long, how can the farmers still work, and how can the laborers who build the chicken pen have a calm mentality? They've only been here for less than three days......"

"I'm going to do some enlightenment with them tomorrow......"

"How could that work?"

"Then I'll give them more money! It's always okay to add money! Aren't they working here for the money! ”

"Are you a fool? Oh my life! What people care about is their own lives! ”

Qin Jian was scolded several times in a row, his face was extremely red, and he didn't dare to say a word when he raised his forehead and lowered his head.

But the next moment, Qin Jian suddenly felt something approaching in the shadows, and immediately raised his finger at Gu Xue: "Shhhh ”

Gu Xue, who kept talking, closed her mouth instantly, her eyes widened, she didn't dare to move, and she didn't even dare to breathe.

"Who?" The next moment, Qin Jian took out a flashlight and shone it on a person's body in an instant.

"Don't make such a fuss, okay?" The person being photographed immediately raised his arm to cover his face and complained, then lowered his arm, and the two of them saw who she was.

"Xu Xin, aren't you standing guard on the other side of the wall?" Qin Jian breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously.

"I've been standing for three hours, and I don't want people to walk around and move their legs and feet?"

"Then the place where you wandered around is really a coincidence......" Qin Jian sneered a few times, feeling that the steak on the table was going to be lost.

Sure enough, the next moment, Xu Xin's face suddenly tightened, and Xiao Xiaobu went directly to the two of them, stared at the two steaks on the plate for a few seconds, leaned over and stretched his neck, and sniffed the steak fiercely twice.

"What is this?" Xu Xin asked with a smile, feeling that he should have caught a moment.

Qin Jian looked at Gu Xue with an embarrassed expression, and the latter also smiled helplessly and looked at him.

Seeing that the two didn't respond, Xu Xin suddenly realized: "Okay, everyone else is a vigil that doesn't dare to blink an eye, you two are farmers, and you two are secretly eating and drinking here?" ”

"I was going to prepare a candlelight dinner for my wife, who knew that I encountered this incident halfway, anyway, I'm idle, it's better to make up for it, and it's good to have a midnight candlelight banquet." Qin Jian immediately explained seriously.

"That'...... Then you ...... too" Xu Xin pursed her lips after hearing this, looking angry.

"Then you guys are too stingy, you don't even tell me......" Xu Xin immediately picked up the fork on the table and stabbed the steak on Qin Jian's plate: "Give me a bite!" ”

"Go, go!" Qin Jian immediately grabbed Xu Xin's arm and threw it aside, fanning his hands and driving away.

"Oops, this must be a steak, I haven't ever eaten a steak...... Xu Xin pouted with a pitiful face: "Just let me eat a bite, I definitely won't tell everyone about your secret eating and drinking......"

"Threaten me? Can't give more! Qin Jian immediately took the two plates of steaks off the table and held them in his hands to protect them.

Gu Xue could see that the two were joking tacitly, and sighed helplessly and said, "Okay Qin Jian, give her my steak." ”

"Wife......" Hearing this, Qin Jian frowned, a little embarrassed.

Xu Xin on the side didn't think much about it, and when he heard this, he immediately smiled, came to Qin Jian and rubbed his hands, waiting for him to feed like a puppy......

"I can't eat it a little......" Gu Xue explained.

"Xiaoxue, it's right if you don't eat it, after you eat such a greasy thing, you will either gain ten pounds or have a bad stomach, so leave it to me to deal with!" Xu Xin immediately snatched the steak in Qin Jian's hand, but Qin Jian grabbed the plate hesitantly, and the two of them fought for each other, until Gu Xue reached out to stop the hands of the two, the two of them stopped and put the steak back on the table calmly.

Xu Xin immediately picked up a fork and knife and cut a large piece and put it in her mouth, and within a few seconds, she hummed, stared wide-eyed and said, "Why is it so delicious?" Is it Qin Jian, is it that you are making it too delicious or is it something else? How is this not at all the same as the steak I eat at a high-end restaurant in Zone C? ”

"Is the steak you ate real?" Qin Jian asked curiously.

"Of course it's true! Made of 100% vegan meat without adding any preservatives......" Xu Xin didn't react at first, and responded confidently.

But the next moment, she was suddenly stunned, looked at Qin Jian's kind eyes, and asked slowly, "You mean...... This steak? ”

Qin Jian nodded slightly, and replied without being salty: "It's 'true'......."

Xu Xin gasped, picked up the red wine on the table, poured it into the wine glass, and drank it all.

Seeing Xu Xin's action, Qin Jian already thought that Xu Xin definitely didn't want to keep a good vigil tonight, and even he had to be confused with the whole cup......

"Is this real beef?" Xu Xin picked up the plate, looked at the steak carefully and said.

"Yes." The two replied in unison, looking at Xu Xin as if they were looking at Xu Xin with a neuropath.

"Hahahaha......" The next moment, Xu Xin actually giggled, looking like she was about to swallow her breath, and she couldn't even open her eyes......

Although Gu Xue was also eating real steak for the first time, even if she was not troubled at the moment, her reaction would not be as exaggerated as Xu Xin's.
