Abraham looked up at the man and spoke again, “Encountering someone with such power, I really don’t know if it’s a lucky thing or not. Don’t just stand there, hurry up and find a way to improve your strength. Otherwise, when the day comes and we truly become enemies with that kid, we’ll likely be in a difficult situation.”
Listening to Abraham’s words, the man’s brow remained tightly furrowed. He hadn’t expected this young man to bring such a potential crisis to them. He nodded and left Abraham, returning to his own room. Sitting in the room, the man turned his head to look outside the window, and a cold gleam appeared in his eyes.
Watching the man’s departing figure, Abraham let out a soft sigh and then turned his gaze back to the night outside. His cloudy eyes looked towards a distant building that faintly appeared in the darkness. Then he glanced at the wandering zombies on the street. “That kid is really a good seed. I hope I can extract that power in time. Otherwise…”
Abraham shook his head gently, recalling the aura emitted by David earlier. Without hesitation, he stood up and realized that the others were in their own rooms. He pushed open the door and walked towards the building.
Early in the morning, as soon as David opened his eyes, he smelled the aroma of food. “Growl…” his stomach started growling. Getting out of bed, he casually grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on, then headed for the kitchen.
At this moment, the sunlight outside was shining on David through the French windows. Feeling the long-lost warmth, David’s mood inexplicably lightened. After all, due to the apocalypse, this world was mostly covered by dark clouds, making warm sunlight a scarce commodity.
Clearly, it had become a rare commodity in this world. He arrived in the kitchen, where Sally, dressed in pajamas, was busily working. Her petite figure, accentuated by the soft pajamas, was enchanting. .𝘤𝘰𝑚
Watching Sally skillfully stir the eggs in the pan, David smiled. He approached Sally from behind and hugged her. Her faint fragrance immediately entered his nostrils.
Sally turned her head and smiled at David’s handsome profile. “Why did you get up so early? Go back and sleep a little longer. I’ll call you when the food is ready.”
Sally playfully tousled her hair, then turned her head and lightly kissed David’s lips. For Sally, the pursuit of three meals a day and the changing seasons were the only pursuits she had in this post-apocalyptic world.
“You cook so deliciously. I can’t wait,” David said as he looked at the golden fried eggs. Hearing his words, Sally smiled happily. One of David’s hands was tightly holding hers, while the other skillfully stir-fried the food in the pan. Even the simplest home-cooked dishes became delicious and appetizing in Sally’s hands. So, most of the team’s meals were taken care of by Sally alone.
Actually, Sally’s cooking skills were not always excellent. It was just that with the arrival of the apocalypse, various ingredients became scarce and demanding. Every time she cooked for the team, she cherished these hard-to-come-by ingredients. Over time, Sally became adept at preparing various home-cooked dishes that were not only easy to make but also had great taste, aroma, and appearance. Everyone who tasted her dishes would excitedly give her a thumbs-up.
“Alright,” Sally said as she turned off the stove. David listened and released his grip around her waist. Watching Sally plate the food and then turn to walk towards the dining room, David quickly took the plate from her hand and placed it on the table.
Sally smiled gently, enveloped in a sense of happiness. The two of them sat at the dining table, and David served a bowl of steamed rice in front of Sally. “You’ve worked hard. Please eat,” David said with a smile.
Sally murmured in agreement and began to eat. As David looked at the appetizing dishes on the table, he couldn’t resist any longer. He picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat. When the meat entered his mouth, his eyes lit up. Before he could even exclaim, a shrill scream suddenly came from the entrance. “Ah!”
David furrowed his brow slightly. Sally also turned her head towards David at the first moment, whispering, “That sound seems to be Lily.” David nodded, agreeing with her guess. That sound was not just similar to Lily’s, it was Lily’s voice.
Just as David set down his utensils, they heard a series of knocks on their door. “Help! Help!”
“David, please save me!” Lily’s voice became more and more desperate, as if she had encountered some danger. Sally became nervous all of a sudden, preparing to get up and investigate.
“No need to worry. Sit down and enjoy your meal. We shouldn’t waste such delicious food,” David said, looking up at Sally. Then he nonchalantly picked up a piece of spare rib and put it in his mouth.
“But…” Sally looked at David’s calm and unruffled expression, not a hint of urgency, wanting to say something. But as soon as she opened her mouth, David reached out and pulled her back to her seat. David smiled, shook his head, and gestured for Sally to continue eating without saying anything more.
Helpless, Sally could only pick up the glass of milk in front of her with a puzzled expression. David had long known about Brian and Lily’s conspiracy. So, he naturally understood what they were planning this time. He wasn’t in a hurry, quietly sitting there, listening to Lily’s cries for help.
After calling out for a while, Lily saw that David still hadn’t made any movement to open the door. A wicked expression suddenly appeared on her face. She hadn’t expected David to be so heartless, not even opening the door for her. Last night, she and Brian had planned for the whole night, intending to strike a heavy blow to David this time, giving them an opportunity to seize all the supplies.
So early in the morning, Brian quietly lured over hundreds of zombies here, with the goal of using the zombie horde to besiege them, rendering David and the others defenseless. At that time, she and Brian could directly take action and make their escape. But now, the rampaging zombies outside were slowly approaching her. However, David remained motionless. This made her feel a sense of urgency.
