Now, the opportunity has finally arrived!
Their ideal reward was to join Firefly Base, and they never expected this wish might actually come true; moreover, by just providing information, they could also receive additional compensation, which undoubtedly further solidified their resolve.
They secretly swore in their hearts that no matter what, they would seize this rare opportunity!
"Alright, that's all for now. You guys can head back. The three of you stay here to discuss the specific details."
Zuo Feng stretched, pointing at Fox Yaorao, Xi Luoluo, and Dou Paopao.
The three women nodded slightly, their hearts filled with both apprehension and anticipation........
"Xiao Chu Niang, Xiao Nv Pu, go prepare something to eat. We can chat while we eat," Zuo Feng instructed Xiao Chu Niang and Xiao Nv Pu.
The two responded and left, and the idle Xiao Mi Tao also ran to help.
Then Zuo Feng saw the two women's actions and secretly praised them; the two women were smart.
To prevent outsiders from discovering the existence of the kongling crystal, the clever two women even ran into the commercial van to retrieve the cooking utensils, then carried them back out.
Zuo Feng chuckled inwardly: These two girls are smart, but perhaps not entirely... Would your family's commercial van be filled with cooking utensils? Especially with a gas canister stuffed in there?
Thankfully, his Xiao Mi Tao was smart enough to even prepare a dining table.
A large round table wouldn't fit in the commercial van, so what to do if it couldn't be taken out?
The clever Xiao Mi Tao even knew to get it from outside the car, and knew to hide behind the car; truly clever! She even knew to match it with those dozen or so dining chairs…
Seeing the women's cautiousness, afraid of being discovered, Zuo Feng almost burst out laughing.
Zuo Feng couldn't help but smile, letting the girls continue their antics, then turned to Xi Luoluo and the other two, saying with a smile, "Don't be nervous, just relax. Xi Luoluo, what did you do before?"
Xi Luoluo pursed her lips and softly replied, "I used to be an executive at XX Company"........
After some casual chat, Zuo Feng learned about Xi Luoluo's background and expertise. The little boy was Xi Luoluo's son.
As for the little boy's father, Xi Luoluo didn't even know his name. Zuo Feng was utterly impressed by Xi Luoluo.
Before the apocalypse, as an executive at a large company, Xi Luoluo lived a very comfortable life but had never married, nor did she ever intend to.
However, she still wanted a child, so she chose a man with good looks and physique to 'borrow' a seed, and thus had this adorable son; truly free-spirited and unconventional.
After hearing this, Zuo Feng couldn't help but glance at Da Bai Tu, as if when he and Da Bai Tu first met, she was just as free-spirited.
At that time, Da Bai Tu's initial encounter with Zuo Feng was also with the intention of 'borrowing a seed'.......
It was only as they spent more time together later that she gradually developed the idea of forming a family with Zuo Feng.
Zuo Feng couldn't help but sigh—this Xi Luoluo and Da Bai Tu must have a lot in common.
Da Bai Tu immediately understood Zuo Feng's gaze and blinked coquettishly—she shouldn't have let Xiao Nan Ren know that she initially approached him with the intention of 'borrowing a seed'.
As for Dou Paopao, before the apocalypse, she was an ordinary working drone, developing a stomach illness at a young age.
After more than a month of starvation post-apocalypse, her stomach illness flared up, which is why Dou Paopao rented out her tin shack. Medicines were too expensive in the apocalypse. Although Dou Paopao was sweet-looking and earned a decent income from her business, the fact that one stomach medicine cost 10 packs of instant noodles made it unbearable for her.
It was fortunate that she met Zuo Feng, otherwise, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on. Even if she didn't starve to death, she would be tormented to death by stomach pain.
Upon learning of the situation, Da Bai Tu directly gave Dou Paopao a box of stomach medicine. Da Bai Tu's generosity made Dou Paopao incredibly grateful, her eyes glistening with tears.
This small box of stomach medicine was her lifeline at that moment, allowing her to see a glimmer of light in the darkness; she secretly vowed in her heart: she must repay Zuo Feng and Da Bai Tu's kindness well.
"And you? What did you do before?"
After hearing Dou Paopao and Xi Luoluo's stories, Zuo Feng's gaze turned to Fox Yaorao. This woman's beauty was the most outstanding among the women, her looks comparable to Xiao Lingxian's.
Moreover, during their previous conversation, Dou Paopao and Xi Luoluo both revealed that they and their sisters had survived until now thanks to Fox Yaorao's care. It was no wonder this woman became the negotiation representative for those women.
Fox Yaorao smiled lightly, her tone carrying a hint of laziness:
"Me? I was just a small actress before the apocalypse, making a living with a bit of looks. After the apocalypse, my sisters and I did the same business, the difference being that they solicited clients on the street, while my clients were powerful and influential big shots. The previous few administrators who died in this area were all my clients! Oh, and the current leader of the Flying Eagle Gang is also my client!" Fox Yaorao's demeanor seemed relaxed, but her words conveyed a hint of helplessness and self-mockery.
After hearing this, Zuo Feng wasn't too surprised. He just nodded faintly, but in his heart, he gained a few more points of respect for this woman's resilience and wisdom.
This woman spoke casually, but if she relied solely on her looks to establish herself in the apocalypse, how easy could that be?
The previous few administrators had all died, yet she was still alive and well, which proved that this woman not only possessed extraordinary beauty but also unknown methods and wisdom.
To navigate the apocalypse with such ease was by no means accidental.
Such a woman made Zuo Feng pay a bit more attention, but listening alone was useless; he would have to see her actual actions later.
"Dinner's ready…"
At this moment, Xiao Chu Niang's shout interrupted their casual chat.
Everyone got up and walked towards the dining table. The air was filled with the aroma of food. Dou Paopao and Xi Luoluo were stunned when they saw the lavish food laid out on the large round table—it was all fresh ingredients, and even vegetables! This was an absolute luxury in the apocalypse.
Even Fox Yaorao was slightly moved. She had followed several administrators, but even some gang leaders couldn't enjoy such a lavish meal.
Who exactly were these people, to be so extravagant in the apocalypse? This further strengthened Fox Yaorao's resolve to follow Zuo Feng and his group.
She knew that only by attaching herself to the strong could she survive in this cruel apocalypse. Every dish on the table was like silent proof, showcasing the strength and background of this group of people.
Zuo Feng smiled at the three women's expressions. He had intended to display his strength by having them dine together.
"Don't just stand there! Xi Luoluo, call your son to come eat too," Zuo Feng called out, gesturing for them to take their seats.
Xi Luoluo snapped back to reality and hurried to call her son, who was still playing with Xiao Tongtong. Dou Paopao helped set the tableware, while Fox Yaorao secretly observed Zuo Feng's every move.
Everyone ate and chatted, but Fox Yaorao grew more and more surprised. She realized that these people must eat such food regularly, otherwise, they wouldn't be so accustomed to it.
Even if adults could lie, the behavior of the four-year-old girl could absolutely not be faked!
Although the little girl ate obediently, there was no hint of ravenousness. She sat properly on her small stool, eating, clearly accustomed to such meals.
What kind of strength and resources did this group of people possess?
