“Hahaha, aren’t we just the luckiest? To have actually run into a Space Element Zombie filled with supplies.”
Nie Qing laughed with glee.
“Its space is really big.”
Wang Zhu said enviously. Just now, that zombie had thrown out many hotel beds and furniture, and those items took up a lot of space.
He was only Level Three in the Space Element Special Ability now, and leveling up in Space Element was really slow. Unexpectedly, this zombie had reached Level Six.
“Can we possibly live in this hotel now?”
Ren Yingjie excitedly asked. Oh, a hotel, it had been so long since he had stayed in one.
“There are a few rooms still locking up some Ordinary Zombies, but there are no zombies above the fourth floor,”
Mao Qiqi pointed upstairs as she spoke.
“Then let’s go in and have a look,”
After collecting the supplies into the Space, Su Jin glanced at the time. It was already six o’clock, and the sky was about to darken. If they could stay here, it would indeed be a great choice.
After parking their cars, everyone together entered this former five-star hotel.
This hotel was probably established for the tourist attractions nearby; aside from Ninghe Mountain, which was a bit further away, there seemed to be another famous tourist site nearby, but maybe because it was the off-season, there weren’t many zombies around or inside.
Even so, the magnificent hotel lobby still made Pei Yuan and the others feel all sorts of discomfort.
The floor and walls that should have been clean were covered in splattered Dark Blood and limbs, and those genuine leather sofas and coffee tables also had bodies that had rotted down to being shriveled…
Su Jin only glanced once and continued leading everyone upstairs, as this sort of scene was common for her.
“It’s quite clean here,”
Su Jin said as she stepped over a skeleton that had been eaten clean and continued up the stairs.

Pei Yuan and his group: “…”
“Hmm, not bad,”
Lu Hao also said.
All right then, since they were living above the fourth floor, these things can be ignored… Ren Yingjie kept comforting himself.
They cleaned up some Ordinary Zombies locked behind doors before proceeding to head upstairs beyond the fourth floor.
Those zombies had been banging on the doors, quite noisily.
Ultimately, the group opted to stay on the sixth floor, which appeared to be the cleanest. Even the rooms were cleaned spotlessly, although there was some dust accumulation, everyone was quite happy.
“Everyone rest up for a bit, we’ll have dinner in the sixth floor’s hall in half an hour,” Su Jin said.
“Alright~”
Zhang Chuyang cheerfully picked a double bed room, and even had a soft bed to sleep on; could he ask Wang Zhu to take a few beds with them?
Lin Xiuyuan and Nie Qing chose a twin-bed room, feeling it would be more convenient to access the Space.
Seeing Lian Jiyue locked out of the door by Mao Qiqi, Lin Xiuyuan felt extremely pleased; now he was blocked off too, humph!
However, when Lian Jiyue looked at him expressionlessly, he quickly shut the door as well, the image of the split-open Space Element Mutated Zombie emerged in his mind; they should probably not harm each other…
…
Su Jin prepared a lavish dinner, taking out the card stove from the Space, and then cooked a pot of instant noodles in a large pot, steaming hot with boiled eggs, sausages, and even some green and lush vegetables.
Considering there were many men, she also steamed a pot of delicious rice with the rice cooker, then cut up two large plates of pickled meat and sausages from the Space, and some cucumbers pickled by Lin Yunguo…
The mixture of delicious scents tempted everyone resting in their rooms to come out.
“My God, Su Jin, where did you get these green veggies?”
Zhang Chuyang asked in surprise looking at the vegetables in the big pot of noodles.
“Hmm? Like this?”
Mao Qiqi held a tiny seed in her hand, and as it lay in the palm of her hand, it began to sprout and grow, quickly turning into a verdant Shanghai green.
“Is it that convenient?”
Zhang Chuyang and Wang Zhu eyed the tender vegetable, feeling their mouths watering.
Heaven knows how long it had been since they had eaten vegetables and fruits. They had eaten plenty of mutant animal meat, but vegetables were now more precious than gold!
“Pure, natural, and pollution-free”
Mao Qiqi smiled and added the Shanghai green into the pot as well.
The fragrant aroma permeated the lobby on the sixth floor, causing everyone’s salivating sounds to continuously carry over. Mao Qiqi had to distribute some disposable bowls and utensils to everyone earlier than planned, saying, “The rice isn’t cooked yet; start with the instant noodles, and there’s more if that’s not enough.”
Nie Qing, who rarely ate instant noodles, couldn’t resist serving himself some, even though he had just eaten something in the Space Element just moments ago. Now, seeing everyone gathered around eating together, he inexplicably felt like eating too.
The smooth and elastic instant noodles made everyone chew repeatedly in their mouths, complemented with the flavorful eggs and piping hot sausages, and finally, a piece of verdant vegetable — what divine taste!
“It’s so, so delicious,”
Fang Zhengyang ate and felt like he was about to cry, listening to the gusts of wind outside and looking at so many people sitting together now, he felt that not everything that happened in this cold apocalypse was bad.
At least, the people in front of him had all come together for the same goal.
“Mao Qiqi, how did you cook this rice?”
Wang Zhu asked after eating a few bites, suddenly remembering the question he had just forgotten.
“Outdoor battery, very useful,”
Mao Qiqi pointed to a large black battery in the corner and said, seeming to use it for the first time.
“Awesome, awesome,”
Zhang Chuyang bit into a crunchy, delicious pickled cucumber and gave a thumbs up. Mao Qiqi’s equipment was really comprehensive!
But how come these pickles were so delicious? How had he never discovered them before the apocalypse?
Under Mao Qiqi’s guidance, Jiyue had already learned to use chopsticks. Although he was still not very proficient, he was continuously using chopsticks to pick up the braised meat from the plate and eat it.
“Xiao Yue, you should eat some rice too, or you won’t have any strength,”
Mao Qiqi served him some instant noodles into his bowl.
Jiyue nodded and tilted his head back, pouring the half-bowl of instant noodles directly into his stomach like drinking water.
“Eh? Where’s my disciple?”
Nie Qing and the others then realized that Lu Hao was not there.
“He just absorbed a Level Seven Fire Element Crystal Core and is about to level up, so he’s not coming out for now,”
Mao Qiqi said with a smile, not expecting that Lu Hao’s level was about to catch up with hers.
Ding~
The rice cooker let out a long beep; the rice was done!
At that moment, everyone couldn’t care less. As soon as the lid of the rice cooker was opened, the rich aroma of rice filled the air, and several people who hadn’t eaten rice for months greedily inhaled this familiar and nostalgic scent.
Such delicious rice, even without side dishes, they could eat several bowls!!!
…
In the evening, shortly after Mao Qiqi returned to her room, there was a knock on the door.
Mao Qiqi opened the door, only to find Wang Zhu standing outside.
“Mao Qiqi, I have some things that might be of no use to me and Chuyang,” Wang Zhu said.
“What are they?”
Mao Qiqi did not invite Wang Zhu inside, as Lu Hao was currently leveling up in the Space Element, and Wang Zhu did not seem to intend to enter.
Wang Zhu then produced a small box, opened its lid, revealing a box full of Mutated Zombies’ Crystal Cores!
