This meal was particularly lavish.
Zhu Tan brought out a lot of food to cook for them. The eight people, excluding herself, took turns in the kitchen. Many of them contributed their best culinary skills, resulting in six dishes and one soup on the table, looking very abundant.
Unfortunately, there were not many vegetables.
"Dinner's ready, dinner's ready!"
Someone called out excitedly. Ever since the night the blood moon appeared, they had almost forgotten what it felt like to gather for a meal.
Six dishes and a large pot of white rice, even the soup was finished to the last drop.
This was partly because they had been mostly hungry these days, eating very little and having to ration their food.
Secondly, they treated this as their last meal, thinking that they couldn't die of starvation and forcing themselves to finish everything.
The zombies blocking outside showed no signs of leaving. Even now, shining a flashlight outside, one could still see their dirty and terrifying mangled limbs and broken bodies covered in congealed blood.
They were most likely going to be trapped and die here.
So, eat while you can, and absolutely refuse to die of starvation.
After the meal, Song Qi seemed to have made up his mind: "Miss Xiao, please give me that crystal. I'll take it and lead them away, then you can escape." Su Dan Novel Network.
Zhu Tan: "..."
"Why should we run away?"
Song Qi was also stunned. After a moment, he tentatively replied, "Not run? Then we'll run out of food and water, and we'll be trapped here to die."
"Why run away? Can't we just leave?" Zhu Tan pointed outside the window. "That crystal is a crystal core from a zombie's body. I've already used it and can't take it out. If you want to leave, I can send you out tomorrow."
"Zombie crystal core? Does such a thing really exist?"
"Just like in the novels. Did you awaken any abilities, Miss Xiao? Can you show us?"
"Right! What ability did you awaken? Is it powerful!" One person was not satisfied after exclaiming, and then muttered to himself, "It must be very powerful, otherwise why would you be so calm? What ability, hurry up and show us!"
"What do you want to see?" Zhu Tan didn't mind showing them.
"Can we choose?"
"Yes."
"Then I want to see water."
Someone shouted, "I want to see fire! Fire abilities are the most common offensive abilities in novels, and they are said to be very powerful!"
Zhu Tan's main attribute was fire, but she could also use water. So she demonstrated one by one. First, she conjured water, then manipulated it into various majestic and powerful animals.
"Wow!"
"So powerful!"
Zhu Tan then transformed fire into a fire dragon, which suddenly collided with the water dragon from before. The water dragon evaporated rapidly, turning into wisps of white smoke and dissipating into the air. The fire dragon was completely unaffected, showing no signs of being extinguished by water at all.
This astonished the onlookers.
Her main attribute was fire, which was naturally more powerful than the spiritual spring water, which had no special features other than spiritual energy.
But it was enough to shock them.
Zhu Tan merely demonstrated it to them, but it unknowingly changed their perception of abilities. It wasn't until they awakened their own abilities that they realized abilities were not like this.
Most people only had one ability. The rare dual-ability users had two ability elements that were derived from each other, or completely unrelated, such as water and its mutated ice ability, wood and healing abilities, mental evolution and space abilities...
Water and fire were two mutually restraining natural elements, and it was impossible for them to coexist in one person's body.
Of course, they didn't know this yet. They only thought she was very powerful, and their fear and despair instantly turned into surprise.
With her being so powerful, they didn't need to be afraid of the zombies outside.
After the demonstration, everyone gradually calmed down their excitement. Song Qi then said, "Miss Xiao, we want to leave here as soon as possible. Are you staying? Or are you leaving with us?"
The others watched them nervously.
Having witnessed her power, they all hoped to leave together. With her presence, their safety was guaranteed.
"Where are you going?"
"We plan to continue north. Four of our seven people are from Shan City. His family is from Jiang City. These two are from here, but their families are all... so they are with us."
Many people watched the moon that night, and many were bitten and turned into zombies afterwards, so there were plenty of tragic family annihilation cases.
Shan City.
In the original plot, it was the first base they went to. On the way there, Xiao Zhongyan was pushed into a horde of zombies by Xiao Tan and turned into a zombie.
Now, replaying it, he had still become a zombie.
Later, he chased to Shan City and met the female protagonist, Xue Jingjing. At that time, Xue Jingjing had her eye on him, deliberately gave him a little benefit to make him feel grateful, helped him reclaim his identity, and then exposed his identity...
In short, it was all a scheme.
But Shan City was a very important turning point. It was in that place that Xue Jingjing built her influence, ultimately helping her ascend to godhood.
Of course, they had to go.
"Then let's go together. Rest up, and we'll set off tomorrow morning."
