"Then he's my brother!" Hu Fei answered every question.

Upon hearing this, Lin Li gave a thumbs-up, truly a steady fence-sitter.

Only after being permitted did Hu Fei carry a snake-skin bag in each hand and follow Shi Dongchen to leave.

Lin Li noticed that Hu Fei's arm veins didn't bulge at all; this really isn't within a normal human's range. Even using [Strength Reserve], I can't be as relaxed as him.

If only I could awaken some kind of supernatural ability.

Anything like time stop, hypnosis, or world modulation mode would do, Lin Li's not picky.

Ye Jing disappeared from sight first, presumably diverting the nearby zombies, to prevent Hu Fei from being attacked on the way back to the shelter.

After all three left, Lin Li found a building nearby and went upstairs, lying on the snake-skin bag, gazing at the sky, waiting for time to pass and for the kitchenware to arrive.

When Ye Jing returned with Hu Fei, nearly two hours had passed.

The afternoon in the apocalypse, four o'clock.

It's about time to start preparing dinner.

Which, in this environment, is quite a big project.

"Big brother! Sister-in-law! Where are you people!" Hu Fei shouted loudly in the middle of the road while carrying the snake-skin bag, seemingly unconcerned about attracting zombies.

"Over here."

When Ye Jing and Hu Fei came up, Lin Li opened the snake-skin bag that had contained food not too long ago.

Now, on top, there's a barrel of water, and underneath, all sorts of tableware and kitchenware are laid out.

It seems to have been specially cleaned, most of it's quite clean.

"Is this barrel of water enough?" Ye Jing came over to ask.

"It's enough." Lin Li nodded, taking things out one by one and laying them out.

"Uncle Shi stayed at the shelter to handle the supplies you sent, and will come over once he's done. If you have any instructions, just press the communicator now and he'll come right away." Ye Jing explained afterward.

"Okay, no need right now."

At the bottom, there's even an irregularly shaped gold nugget, like they said, freshly knocked down, heavy, weighing at least ten pounds conservatively.

That's at least three hundred thousand.

Though not really needed, as someone who's transcended high-level interests, Lin Li is still happy to obtain it.

"Is there anything you need help with? I can cook a little too." Seeing Lin Li begin to organize the tableware, Ye Jing volunteered herself.

"There really is." Lin Li nodded.

"Great!"

Lin Li pointed to the snake-skin bag and said to Ye Jing, who was rolling up her sleeves to wash her hands, "Help me assemble Beauty Madam."

Ye Jing: "?"

"Make sure she retains her human form, thanks." Lin Li said politely.

"Alright..." Ye Jing put down her rolled sleeves, swallowed a gulp, and started this arduous task.

"Sister-in-law, if you hurt yourself tell me..." Standing in front of Beauty Madam, she hesitated for a while. Remembering Shi Dongchen's reminder, she softly said.

—— Shi Dongchen: Ye Jing, remember, from now on, Beauty Madam is no longer a zombie; she's a living, breathing Beauty Madam!

"Big Brother Lin Li, what should I do then?" Hu Fei squatted nearby, took a piece of chocolate from his pocket, and asked while eating.

"Can you cook?"

"I can eat very well."

"Then just stay there and chat with me." Lin Li said with a smile.

Hu Fei nodded, then looked up at the sky: "Sky, hmm, sky, sky like a sky, sky..."

Afterward, he scratched his head: "Big Brother Lin Li, my, I can only talk about this much."

"Hu Fei, what's your supernatural ability?" Ignoring Hu Fei's hardcore sky talk, Lin Li asked while handling the ingredients.

"Big brother, I'm called Hu Xiaojing." Hu Fei emphasized before answering.

"Alright, Xiaojing, what's your supernatural ability?"

"I'm very hard, I'm hard all over." Hu Fei said, picking up a piece of stone from the ground and banging it against his forehead.

Apart from leaving a dust mark, there was indeed no injury.

"Does your strength remain unaffected?"

"Oh, it does too, I'm also very strong."

"Can you beat zombies?"

"I can beat them, they can't grab or bite me, but I can keep hitting them, I'm not afraid of zombies at all, uh, dummies like me I'm not afraid." Hu Fei seemed to recall zombies have mutated species, and specifically added.

"How did you awaken?"

"I became strong suddenly while fighting zombies."

"..."

After question and answer covered mostly Hu Fei's personal information, Lin Li shifted to ask about the shelter's condition.

"How many people are at your shelter now?"

"Big Brother Lin Li, I promised my bro and others not to talk about the shelter casually with outsiders." Hu Fei heard the words, hesitated for a while, and said.

"Then wouldn't it be fine if you seriously said it?" Lin Li said, puzzled.

Hu Fei was stunned for a moment, then realized, eyes even cleared: "Oh, right!"

"Big Brother Lin Li, we have more than two hundred people at our shelter now..." Hu Fei's attitude suddenly became much more upright, even his sitting posture turned serious, and began to disclose information genuinely.

Ye Jing on the side: "..."

The guy's already dumb, and you teased him.

She didn't stop it, though, Shi Dongchen and her, their intention now was to strengthen Lin Li's connection with the shelter as much as possible, hoping he might 'visit' the shelter or even choose a place to 'live' or at least make a stop.

Regarding shelter information, after receiving those foods, Lin Li even if he asked her now, she'd still tell him everything in detail.

...

Putting bone meatballs in boiling water to cook, Lin Li also gained understanding of the shelter's situation.

It wasn't too big or too small, roughly around two hundred people.
