Millennium: I Love Demon King

After half a day of fierce fighting, without the help from the high-ranked zombies, it would be much easier to deal with the remaining zombies. Everyone was in a frenzy. It was clearly time to change shifts with Team C and D, but Team A and B were still reluctant to return. This was especially true for Yan Binghui and the others. Ever since they had used the breathing technique that Gu Cheng had taught them, their special ability had lasted even longer. As long as they replenished their crystal cores in time to kill zombies, their special ability would be able to keep up with their worries. Such a carefree experience made them more and more excited.

Lin Xin was indeed tired. Unlike the special squad, she relied on a full body of strength. Her bow required at least three stones worth of strength to pull back. After shooting for the whole morning, she could not even lift her arms anymore. She was so tired that her back ached.

Gu Cheng massaged her chest in heartache, "Why use so much strength? Yan Binghui and the rest can handle it for themselves."

Lin Xin smiled at him ingratiatingly, "It's just that my hands are itching to shoot a few more zombies. You know I have to practice shooting every day for half a day, the moment I see a bowman, I can't help but feel itchy."

Gu Cheng couldn't do anything about her, so he could only rub her head. The two chatted and laughed as they returned home, only to discover that Liu Shi and his aide-de-camp were there as well.

"What are you doing here again?" Gu Cheng spoke with an extremely disdainful tone. His gaze landed on the two frozen rabbits and the half-filled bag of rice on the living room table, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Lin Xin also saw this and couldn't help but laugh. She tugged on Gu Cheng's sleeve, indicating that he should endure with a better tone. After all, the person who came was a guest.

Ever since Liu Shi had breakfast at their house, he had always been obsessed with Gu Cheng's culinary skills. After a few battles of thought, on the second day of the zombie siege, at noon, he had come over to discuss with Gu Cheng about the matter of the 'defense of the city'. Although Lin Xin had successfully stayed behind to eat, he had suffered quite a lot from Gu Cheng's cold daggers throughout the entire process. Pity that old face of his! He had almost been stabbed into a thin sieve by Gu Cheng's blade.

The aide said that Gu Cheng would definitely despise him for eating for free. Thus, this time, he had specially brought along the meat that was given to the base's leadership by the central government for this month — two frozen rabbits. He believed that Gu Cheng would not despise him this time around. Seeing Lin Xin, she was pretty and she was also nice, it was such a waste for her to be assigned to Gu Cheng. Unfortunately, he had spent half his life fighting and his only son, Liu Chengyi, had been caught and injured by a zombie while on a mission with a special team. In the end, he had even personally ended his son, who had already become a zombie. If Cheng Yi was still alive, how great would it be to match Lin Xin.

He rubbed his eyes rather sorrowfully, the corners of Gu Cheng's mouth twitched yet again. Out of respect for Lin Xin, he silently picked up the two frozen rabbits and headed for the kitchen on the first floor.

Now the three families were cooking together again. When Gu Cheng was free, he would let the Liu and Sun families cook. When Gu Cheng was free, he would do it himself. Although Lin Xin was not picky with her food, it was obvious that the dishes prepared by Gu Cheng were more to her liking. Therefore, if he had the time, Gu Cheng preferred to take action himself.

It was ironic, when the zombies were surrounded by artillery fire from outside the defense line that prevented the zombies from approaching the Beijing base, the people inside the base became restless. When the dust settled and the zombies surrounded the base, and the military stopped firing at the zombies to save ammunition, the atmosphere inside the base became a lot more relaxed. This could be seen from the reactions of the Liu and Sun families during the past two days. Ever since the gunfire had stopped, the two families were clearly smiling a lot more. Even their children were allowed to play in the garden, even though there was only black soil left.

Although he felt sad in his heart, his expression didn't show it at all. Only when the smell of roasted rabbit meat and stewed potatoes drifted from the kitchen did he begin to ignore his own eyes and look towards the kitchen as they chatted.

The Liu and Sun families were not clear about his real identity. They only thought that Liu Shi was the head of the base. Back then, when Liu Shi had come to H City on a rescue mission, they had only seen him from afar. Now that they had been separated for almost two years, how could they still remember his face? The Liu and Sun families didn't think much of him either. The news they had heard about the base had all been passed to him one by one, causing Lin Xin, who was sitting beside them, to not know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't know whether she should tell these two families Liu Shi's true identity. Later on, when she heard the Liu family's big talk about the people in charge of the south gate, how they didn't take the lives of the poor as their life and didn't let them out of the base or anything like that, she looked at Liu Shi who was listening with squinted eyes, thinking better of it, let this beautiful misunderstanding continue.

By the time Gu Cheng had served the two basins of rabbit meat, Liu Shi was already so greedy that he was almost unable to move. At this moment, another knock on the villa's door. Lin Xin looked strangely at the people in the living room. Everyone who should be there was here. Who could it be now?

Opening the door, he saw Yan Binghui and Ying Zheng standing outside, each carrying a bag of dried vegetables and dried meat. Yan Binghui was a rough guy with a thick skin. After handing the things in his hands to Lin Xin, he walked in. On the other hand, Ying Sutra, who was being dragged to eat together with Yan Binghui, blushed and stuffed the things in her hands into Lin Xin's hands, chasing after Yan Binghui as if she was being chased by something.

Lin Xin:...

She walked into the living room with her stuff in her hands. Yan Binghui and Ying had already discovered that they were both here for a meal. The four of them looked at each other and decided not to interfere.

There was no need for them to be in the same boat.

Gu Cheng brought out another plate of salivating rabbit meat. This plate was filled with daily peppers, even more fragrant and appetizing than the one with the stewed rabbit meat just now. When he saw that there were two more people in the living room, the cold air around him became even colder.

After receiving several cold looks from Gu Cheng, the Ying Sutra then glanced at Yan Binghui, who was a thick-skinned individual, and did not notice Gu Cheng's cold knife at all. It was best to not laugh bitterly.

He turned around and went back into the kitchen to get another vegetable egg flower soup. He chopped up the dried meat and fried it with heavy oil, finally adding in the plum and shrimp dishes. The fragrance was even more tempting than before, and before the meal had even started, the gluttony in his stomach was already beginning to revolt as he sat in the living room waiting for his meal.

As there were too many people to sit at the original table, the Sun family went back to the second floor to eat. The other four who came to get food were simply too good at eating. Their first bowl of rice had yet to be eaten, but the other four had already started to fill the third bowl. Luckily, Gu Cheng had cooked another big pot of rice for fear of not having enough.

In the end, even the plate was licked clean by Yan Binghui. What did they usually eat? Lin Xin was shocked by their display of power and couldn't help but wonder how terrifying the food of this special group was.

After eating their fill, all four of them collapsed on the sofa. Gu Cheng tossed an apron at Liu Shi, leaving only two words, "Wash the dishes", before leaving.

The aide-de-camp couldn't let his superior squat down to wash the dishes. He wanted to snatch his apron, but was stopped by Liu Shi. He tied his apron and squatted down to wash the dishes by the sink. This time, even Lin Xin had gotten infected with Gu Cheng's illness, and her lips couldn't help but twitch. For the sake of a single mouthful of food, even her superior was willing to risk it all.
