The entire base was filled with a festive atmosphere.

One of the members was making dumplings, and as he made them, he began to cry.

He knelt on the ground, sobbing, "Wuwu, I'm not human. I've let the leader down."

"The leader took out such precious pork to make dumplings for us, but I obtained a Level 6 crystal and secretly kept it for myself."

"I want to hand this crystal over to the leader, so that it can help the leader."

He gave the crystal to Chen Guang, asking him to hand it over to Chen Luo.

Chen Guang sighed, thinking it would be useful to Chen Luo, and reported it to him.

Chen Luo was stunned. This crystal was a little bit useful to him, but really, just a tiny bit.

Chen Luo arrived at the cafeteria, where many people were gathered. Even those who didn't know how to make dumplings were watching.

The moment Chen Luo appeared, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The member who handed over the crystal was still kneeling, feeling very sorry towards Chen Luo.

Chen Luo gently helped him up.

"You didn't let me down. Who doesn't want to become stronger?"

"I said long ago that it's up to you whether you hand over the crystals you obtain. You didn't do anything wrong, so get up."

The member continued to sob.

Chen Luo's radiant image became even more distinct.

Although the member was crying, he resolutely said, "From now on, the base is my home. Anyone who wants to harm the base will have to step over my dead body first."

These words resonated with many people.

"That's right, we will live and die with the base."

Many people were sincere.

Chen Luo smiled slightly. Perhaps some people would waver when faced with death's door and the threat of death.

But a meal of dumplings undoubtedly greatly strengthened the base's cohesion.

Even if Chen Luo was weak, they would never only care about escaping like other bases when facing strong enemies.

Xu Qing, who had just joined, looked at Chen Luo with admiration.

What was charisma? This was charisma. He was willing to take out so much meat and let everyone eat their fill.

Even someone like me who had just joined was no exception. I really came to the right place.

That's right, since it was an all-you-can-eat buffet, there was no need to differentiate status, as long as they didn't bring malice.

Jin Yuanjiang was also full of praise, finding the feeling of unity.

This feeling was really good.

Pot after pot of dumplings were ready.

First, everyone got a little bit, and the next pot of dumplings was being cooked.

Some people couldn't wait to start eating, and tears of excitement streamed down their faces after just one bite.

Some people stared blankly at the dumplings, thinking of their deceased loved ones.

Zhao Ziyi looked at the dumplings and also shed tears.

"Wuwu, Mama, I've made it. I'm eating dumplings."

Meng Yin and Xiao Yu, who were usually lively, also had sad expressions on their faces.

Usually, the pain brought about by the apocalypse was just suppressed in their hearts.

Let's eat. Everyone started eating dumplings.

Hey, you, why aren't you dipping your dumplings in soy sauce?

Everyone was eating their fill.

There was really enough, not afraid that you could eat too much.

Even if there wasn't enough to eat, it wasn't like they didn't have any more meat and chives.

Even those with smaller appetites ate a full five large bowls of dumplings.

Those with larger appetites ate eight or nine plates.

And Zhao Ziyi, the glutton, ate a full fifteen bowls.

Chen Luo really didn't know why Zhao Ziyi, this little girl, had such a large appetite.

Meng Yin and Xiao Yu watched Zhao Ziyi eat with trepidation.

"Ziyi, Ziyi, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Ziyi was lying on the ground, unable to get up.

Her little belly was bulging, and she burped, her mouth full of the taste of chives and pork.

Zhao Ziyi said with great difficulty, "I think I've eaten too much and can't get up."

Be more confident and remove the "think."

It wasn't just Zhao Ziyi who had eaten too much, there were many others as well.

Chen Luo had been prepared for this, otherwise he wouldn't have prepared five tons of pork. On average, that was almost five jin of meat per person, otherwise it really might not have been enough to eat.

Eating dumplings almost killed Zhao Ziyi.

Xiong Wenhui was holding onto the wall, walking slowly, her face full of both pain and happiness.

On Chen Luo's side, there was a shocking scream.

Of course, it wasn't because someone had eaten too much.

After the meal, Fa Wang absorbed the crystal and broke through to Level 7.

Upgrading will cause a headache.

Especially when advancing to Level 7.

Chen Luo was familiar with it in his previous life, so he could still endure it.

This was Fa Wang's first time.

He couldn't help but scream.

Chen Luo thought something had happened and rushed over using Void Walk.

He saw that Fa Wang's body had grown larger, reaching a length of about two meters and twenty-three centimeters, which was very impressive.

Just imagine, if Fa Wang stood upright, what would two meters and twenty-three centimeters mean?

Fa Wang closed his eyes in pain, it really hurt too much.

The silver wolf was very worried, and the little puppies were anxiously barking beside him.

Papa, what's wrong?

Seeing Chen Luo, Fa Wang weakly called out a few times, with great difficulty.

Chen Luo asked with concern, "What do you want to say?"

Mi Fan, who had arrived, paused for a moment and translated speechlessly.

"Fa Wang is asking you, how many points do you get for being the first to advance to Level 7?"

Chen Luo: !!!

I thought you were going to comfort me and say you weren't in pain.

But that's it?

Chen Luo thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you two thousand points."

Fa Wang barely breathed, a little more effort and he could fix his points, still two thousand short.

Chen Luo said, "I'll keep this crystal for you for now. I'll use it to help you advance when you're about to advance to Level 8."

Hehehe, the crystal is in my hands again.

Next to the river near the base.

It was completely dark, and it was difficult to see people unless you got close.

A survivor in tattered clothes sneered, "I heard you guys celebrated the New Year, eating and drinking in the base?"

"I'm still starving."

"Eat, eat, eat, I'll add some ingredients for you."

"Aren't people allowed to relieve themselves? What if I just want to relieve myself here?"

"Consequences at your own risk? I'll see what the consequences are."

Deep in the water, a considerable figure quickly approached the survivor.

While humming a little tune, a big guy suddenly jumped out of the water and bit his vitals quickly and accurately.

"Ah."

A earth-shattering scream.

It was the eldest of the four little sea turtles, and the Sea Turtle King was not nearby.

It bit down hard and broke it off directly.

Mama told me to patrol the river and catch a turtle for dinner.

Just as he was about to sleep, Chen Luo suddenly remembered something.

I still have a little brother who I didn't comfort during the New Year.

Tomorrow, I'll take some dumplings and comfort my brother Da Zhuang.

The dumpling-making chapter is not just for padding, I think it's quite heartwarming, those who agree can send the author a free gift.
