Chapter 28 Preparing to Investigate

Meeting me is the luckiest thing that will ever happen to you.

This isn't arrogance in the slightest.

Who is Chen Luo?

A reborn Gou Wang (cautious king)! He's familiar with the progression of the apocalypse. He didn't die in his previous life, so he'll definitely survive to the end in this one.

What's different this time is the amount of supplies he's accumulated. The units are no longer measured in *jin* or bags.

Everything is measured in tons, even tens of thousands of tons.

A person like Chen Luo, who would fight tooth and nail for a single sausage, makes it hard to imagine how scarce resources are.

If you follow Chen Luo, you'll have clean water and fresh meat. As Chen Luo's personal chef and nanny, how could he possibly treat you poorly?

Chen Luo is brutal to his enemies, but extremely generous to his own people, especially those who are close to him.

Ma Yu's heart trembled. Yes, meeting Chen Luo was indeed her luck. If it weren't for him, she would have died just now, devoured by zombies.

That alone was enough. Without much thought, Ma Yu nodded and said, "I'm willing."

Chen Luo, getting the answer he wanted, smiled. If she hadn't said that, he would have turned around and left her to fend for herself.

Having just been contemplating the situation, Ma Yu, now relieved, finally felt an unusual hunger in her stomach.

Before, in the cold storage, she ate some raw vegetables every day. The best thing was carrots, but she could only get them for the first couple of days, and then there were none left for her.

The small amount of vegetables she ate every day made her stomach secrete acid, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Ma Yu couldn't help but grab a pack of biscuits and devour them.

Chen Luo didn't stop her, saying, "Eat less. When we get back, we'll celebrate your joining with a feast."

Chen Luo added, "Of course, you'll have to make it."

Soon, Su Dazhu and Fa Wang returned, and the group got into the heavy truck.

Ma Yu looked at it in amazement. Chen Luo had actually found such a heavy truck.

Driving the car, Chen Luo casually asked, "By the way, Ma Yu, have you awakened any special abilities?"

Everyone will awaken special abilities sooner or later.

Chen Luo explained what special abilities were and introduced his own and Su Dazhu's abilities.

There was no need to hide the space ability from Ma Yu. Ma Yu was a chef, and Chen Luo's spatial ability was like a refrigerator.

It's just that he wouldn't tell Ma Yu how much stuff was in the refrigerator.

Ma Yu thought for a moment and said, "On the third day, my head did hurt a little. I don't know if I have any power. I've been so hungry that I haven't paid attention."

Awakening an ability on the third day wasn't the best, but it definitely wasn't bad.

After hearing this, Ma Yu tried to feel the power within her body. Slowly, some weak flames formed in Ma Yu's palm.

She was startled.

Chen Luo was overjoyed.

Cooking requires fire, right?

The taste of food cooked with gas, induction cookers, charcoal, or firewood is different.

And the food made with the flames of an ability user is even more delicious.

Fire ability users are not rare, but it's rare for that person to also be a master chef.

And if that person also looks pleasing to the eye, hey, you've struck gold.

Soon, they arrived home smoothly.

Chen Luo couldn't wait to take out the ingredients and give them to Ma Yu, asking her to prepare a feast.

Ma Yu already knew about the spatial ability, but she wasn't surprised because she didn't know how big it was. She herself had mastered fire, so was it hard to understand that Chen Luo controlled space?

Smelling the aroma coming from the kitchen, the two people and one dog couldn't help but salivate.

In less than an hour, Ma Yu had prepared eight dishes.

Stir-fried tomatoes and eggs, braised *pinggu* mushrooms with tofu, green peppers and eggs, stir-fried greens, chicken stew with vermicelli, braised pork with potatoes, cumin mutton, and stir-fried onions with prawns.

The soup was seaweed and egg drop soup.

The colors, aromas, and flavors were all perfect.

The dishes Chen Luo had bought were all pre-packaged and had been made at least half an hour ago, so there was a difference compared to these freshly made dishes.

In particular, the taste was different. Ma Yu's cooking was more fragrant.

Ma Yu didn't want to make so much at first, thinking they couldn't finish it, but Su Dazhu could eat as much as he wanted and could finish it all by himself.

Chen Luo and Su Dazhu were full of oily food and weren't embarrassed by the table full of dishes.

But Ma Yu, who had been surviving on a few raw vegetables for the past five days, couldn't help but swallow hard.

Chen Luo chuckled and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's dig in."

Picking up a piece of tofu, the smooth and delicious taste brought tears to Chen Luo's eyes. Finding Ma Yu was indeed the right thing to do.

Although hungry, Ma Yu ate in small bites, as she was a bit restrained at first.

After eating, Chen Luo patted his stomach contentedly. He had eaten so comfortably.

And Ma Yu consciously began to clean up. Chen Luo thought happily that he would never have to wash dishes again.

Always wanting to do something, Ma Yu wanted to mop the floor after cleaning up the tableware, but Chen Luo first arranged a room for her.

"You can take a shower if you want, but be careful not to let the raw water get into your mouth."

"You lost your phone, right? Here, this phone is for you, and this 50,000 mAh power bank. It has movies and novels that I've already downloaded for you to watch when you're bored."

With Ma Yu's addition, Chen Luo began to live a life where he didn't have to lift a finger... cough, not quite, but it was true that he didn't have to worry about food.

Chen Luo no longer had to worry about trivial matters and could just eat, drink, and have fun every day.

Fa Wang also began to live a normal dog life.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. The crystals Chen Luo had obtained by killing zombies were almost used up. After reaching level three, Chen Luo could absorb eighty of the lowest-level crystals every day.

Su Dazhu needed ten a day, Fa Wang needed twelve or thirteen a day, and Ma Yu, who was still at level one, needed two crystals a day.

Ma Yu was indeed very lucky. The crystals that others had to risk their lives to obtain were casually given to her by Chen Luo.

To advance to a level four ability user, he would need at least ten more days.

Chen Luo was preparing to go out and get another batch of crystals.

At the same time, Chen Luo had not forgotten about Mi Ling and Mi Li.

"It's been ten days. I wonder if they've experienced the suffering of the apocalypse. I guess it's still not enough. Let them continue to starve."

But Chen Luo planned to go to Mi Ling and Mi Li's house to take a look, not to take them in. The time wasn't ripe yet.

The purpose was to see if they were at home.

Mi Ling was studying at a university in Shanghai, and Mi Li was a high school senior. When the apocalypse broke out, it wasn't the weekend, so they might both be at school.

Chen Luo planned to go and see if they were at home.

They definitely weren't dead. Chen Luo wasn't sure about Ma Yu because he had no contact with Ma Yu in his previous life.

Chen Luo had fought with Mi Ling, and he had also seen Mi Li alive.

Chen Luo sighed and said, "The resurrection technique... if someone with such an ability isn't in my hands, I'm afraid I'll be punished by the heavens."
