Cigarettes are the cheapest before the end of the world, looking crumpled, like the one that the uncles and aunts in the community often play mahjong in their mouths before the end of the world.

The cigarette paper was soaked and yellowed, and it looked like it had come out of some nook and cranny place.

Lu Sheng's gaze moved to the middle-aged woman with a bulging abdomen not far away.

The woman's figure is on the thin side, and her skin looks a little pale because she has not seen sunlight all year round. Because of the slender limbs, the bulging abdomen is very prominent.

It may be that her overly protruding abdomen is affecting her movements, and she has been supporting her waist with her right hand, smiling and moaning in the kitchen.

"Have you eaten? It's better to come early than to come at a good time, let's have lunch together, the braised pork rice I made will be ready soon. Qin Xiaoyue raised her hand to put her bangs to her ear, and greeted Lu Sheng and Xu Yi warmly.

On the kitchen stove is a red enamel pot that is simmering over low heat.

The desk was wiped clean, and there was an intermittent sound of boiling in the pot. The enticing scent wafted out of the half-open kitchen door, and the whole room was filled with the smell of the thick red sauce.

Judging by Lu Sheng's cooking experience in the past two years, the meat in the pot should be quite fresh, so that it will have this strong meat aroma.

Generally, meat that has been spoiled or frozen for a long time will lose a lot of flavor, and even if it is cooked carefully, more than half of its flavor will be lost. Qin Xiaoyue and Hu Qiang seem to have a good standard of living, and they can still have fresh meat to eat.

Lu Sheng and Xu Yi glanced at each other, and silently approached the distance.

At this moment, there were suddenly two muffled noises outside the door.

Hu Qiang immediately stood up nervously, leaned on the glass and looked out.

Because the house was originally a supermarket, Hu Qiang's security project was very meticulous, and protective nets were installed outside each window. This also protected the couple from surviving in the last days for two years.

"There seem to be three living people out there?" Hu Qiang looked back in surprise, "What day is today, I saw so many living people at once." ”

Lu Sheng and Xu Yi followed Hu Qiang's line of sight and found that outside the door were three young men wearing the uniforms of the Spirit Wind Base. A yellow-haired, a little chubby, and a tall, dark-skinned young man.

The three of them bumped into two mutant wild dogs at the mouth of the alley, and they had just finished disposing of their bodies.

Lu Sheng glanced at the map in the little fat man's hand, these three people should also be here to carry out the task of searching for survivors.

"Hey, it's not easy to survive until now."

Hu Qiang sighed, raised the roller shutter door with a quick movement, and whistled outside.

When the three people outside heard the whistle, they immediately noticed the small supermarket hidden in the corner, and trotted over happily, "Great, the survivor has been found!" ”

Lu Sheng and Xu Yi have only been connected with Zhao Mujia and Su Zheng, so the grassroots of the Lingfeng Base don't know the two of them, only that they are also one of the survivors.

"You're not local, are you?"

Hu Qiang warmly greeted the three people into the door, and also poured water for the three people with paper cups.

"Oh roar! Brother, do you still have pure water here? The little fat man's eyes lit up, and he picked up the cup and took a sip.

They hadn't drunk clean pure water for almost two years, and the daily output of the water system was limited, and they had to give priority to the supply of the base's higher-ups, and grassroots personnel like the three of them could only get half a bottle of turbid filtered water every day.

Now this little cup of pure water is more precious to them than the gold before the end of the world!

Hu Qiang laughed, and his right hand habitually touched his smooth braincase, "Brother has nothing else here, just a lot of rice, flour, grain, oil and water, you're welcome, there are still after drinking." ”

He was enthusiastic and generous, and Lu Sheng's eyes looked at him quietly.

"Brother, most people have things hidden at this time for fear that others will come and ask for them, and it is rare to see you so generous." The yellow hair of the Lingfeng base drank the water, a little shy and heartfelt.

In the last two years, almost everything that can be eaten has been eaten, and those who still have surplus food are winners in life.

Hu Qiang smiled innocently, "It's not easy to live, now there are zombies outside, we living people should help each other." And my wife is still pregnant, so doing something good should be a virtue for the child. ”

After drinking the water, the three of them excitedly announced to Hu Qiang and Qin Xiaoyue that the alliance army had recaptured M City.

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about life in the future, we will be able to start a new life soon! Just like before the end of the world! The little fat man introduced excitedly, and there were even a little tears in the corners of his eyes.

They have been struggling to survive in this cannibalistic apocalypse for too long, and now they finally see a glimmer of hope, and their emotions are irrepressibly excited.

Hu Qiang and Qin Xiaoyue were slightly stunned for a moment, and then showed a shallow smile, "That's really good." ”

Lu Sheng frowned slightly.

The three of them were so anxious that she had already hinted with her eyes that they should not drink water, but the three of them ignored them at all and drank all the water in one go.

Hu Qiang smiled and poured another glass for each of the three people, "It's not easy, I haven't spoken to a stranger for a long time." Anyway, there are no zombies in the city, so you can have a meal with me today, rest for the night, and then go back to the base. ”

Qin Xiaoyue echoed in the kitchen, "It just so happens that I have made a lot, enough to eat, let's eat together." ”

"It just so happens that I still have a few bottles of good wine here, let's celebrate the revival of M City together." Hu Qiang took out the enamel pot with braised pork from the kitchen, and took out a bottle of hardcover liquor from the cabinet.

As soon as the lid of the enamel pot is opened, the tantalizing aroma of meat immediately hits the face.

The aroma of melted fat mixed with the oily aroma of soy sauce and shallot crisp comes to your nose, and the steaming sparkling rice gives off an attractive sheen.

The three people in the Lingfeng base suddenly seemed to have been hooked away, and they stared at the enamel pot in a daze and couldn't take their eyes off it.

Fragrant, so fragrant!

The sizzling fat and thin pork and sauce-red soup were like a strong rope, holding the sanity and nerves of the three people in the Lingfeng Base to death.

"Is this pork?" The little fat man's saliva dripped uncontrollably on his collar as he spoke.

"Yes, the pure natural black pork I bought before the end of the world is fragrant."

The eyes of the other two people were about to fall into the pot, but thinking about the discipline of the base, they hesitated to rub beside the table.

Qin Xiaoyue took out a stack of cold dried radishes from the refrigerator and greeted softly, "You're welcome, you guys have worked so hard, you should also eat something good." ”

"That'...... Thank you, sister......"

The little fat man couldn't wait to pick up the rice and scooped a spoonful of steaming braised pork and poured it over the rice.

The sauce-scented gravy soaked every grain of rice, and the three people in the Spirit Wind Base immediately devoured it.

Qin Xiaoyue and Hu Qiang looked at a few people with a smile, and suddenly turned their eyes to Lu Sheng and Xu Yi.
