After the two men cleaned up Qi Yue, who was now limp and exhausted, they carried him into the room, and the three of them went to **. They tossed and turned until midnight, finally ending reluctantly amidst Qi Yue’s strong protests. They knew perfectly well that one shouldn’t eat too much at once, or there wouldn’t be any left to eat later.
Qi Yue was relatively normal in the morning, but he still rubbed his aching back to express his dissatisfaction, and made it clear to the two of them that they could only do it one at a time from now on, otherwise he couldn’t handle it. Watching the two of them rubbing his arms and massaging his back, he suddenly felt very satisfied.
In the days that followed, Qi Yue enjoyed the best of both worlds, receiving attentive care from what were known as the two most handsome men in the base. From that day on, the two men tacitly took turns staying overnight in Qi Yue’s room. During the day, they were both very busy, and even if they didn’t stay overnight, they would still come over for dinner.
Compared to Tang Ke and Lin Yuze, their henchmen were even more eager, sometimes even fighting over the chance to come for meals every day. When Qi Yue saw the burly man in military uniform next to Tang Ke, his face bruised and swollen, smugly bragging to the group of five downstairs that he had won the chance to come for meals because he had beaten his teammates in a fight, Qi Yue was speechless. He couldn’t help but think that if he opened a restaurant at Base B, it would probably be quite successful.
Qi Yue was making lunch when a handsome young man, seemingly embarrassed, awkwardly entered the kitchen, his hands behind his back as if he were holding something.
Somewhat surprised, they looked at the other person, who was one of the five people Oak had recruited. After getting to know each other for a while, they all knew that Qi Yue didn’t need help cooking, but they would always prepare the vegetables and meat beforehand and clean the kitchen thoroughly. Now, the kitchen was cleaner than the rooms where the men lived, and it was cleaned three times a day. They were afraid that Qi Yue might miss cooking a dish because he spent too much time cleaning.
“Qi Yue.” The young man was a little shy. After saying that, he seemed not quite satisfied and immediately added, “Brother Little Yue.” Qi Yue looked quite young.
Qi Yue probably guessed what was going on, and nodded. “What do you want to eat? Tell me.” He was being overly solicitous.
The young man grinned broadly, “Brother Little Yue, you are the kindest person I have ever met in my life.” He was so lucky to be able to join this team; he would be willing to do it even if they didn’t pay him but just provide him with food.
“Still not going to tell?” Qi Yue found it somewhat amusing; this was the third person to come today.
First, Dazhuang awkwardly expressed his desire for Little Fan to join them every day, but not for free. Little Fan had promised to take full responsibility for Qi Yue’s medical care should he fall ill, for life. Qi Yue was surprised; didn’t Little Fan come to eat every day? When Dazhuang shyly said that Little Fan wanted to eat there for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Qi Yue was completely bewildered. It was utterly shameless.
Next up was Black Society A, whom they hadn’t seen in a long time. He brought a huge bunch of various meats and ordered several dishes for their Brother Bin’s lunch. Yes, that’s right, Yan Bin had officially joined the group. The difference was that he had to pay a hefty food fee; now he provided all their food. Qi Yue was happy to oblige, no longer needing to use his small kitchen. With so many people, one more wouldn’t make a difference. Little did he know, he was secretly infiltrating and embedding himself within the group.
The young man immediately named what he wanted to eat, “Rock sugar, white fungus, and lotus seed soup.” He then pulled out a large bag from behind him, filled with chains and white fungus. It was truly a pity for them; these things could still be found five years after the apocalypse.
Qi Yue took the package and nodded in agreement. This big bag was enough for many meals, and it wouldn’t be a hassle anyway.
The young man was still standing there, stammering. “Brother Little Yue, I get drunk as soon as I drink.”
“Huh? Are we going to have a casual chat?” Qi Yue said while chopping vegetables, “Then you should drink less in the future. Even though we’re at the base, it’s not safe. Safety first.”
“Yes, yes, Brother Little Yue, you’re absolutely right. I’ll definitely change in the future.” The young man’s attitude was extremely good. “That time, last time…”
“What happened last time?” Qi Yue soaked the lotus seeds and white fungus in water from his bag.
“Last time I got drunk, I told my friend that you’re the best cook in all of China.” The young man blurted out everything in one breath, as if he had nothing to lose. “My friend didn’t believe me. He used to be a national first-class chef.” The young man was a little indignant. Qi Yue’s cooking was many times better than his friend’s.
Qi Yue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Had he become famous now?
The young man pressed on, “Brother Little Yue, you really should show him what real gourmet food is!” With that, he quickly left. Qi Yue was stunned; he hadn’t finished speaking yet!
A short while later, the young man returned, dragging a large sack behind him, at least as big as a table. He opened it, revealing the carcass of a properly disposed of mutated dog.
“The food was provided by my friend; he said he wanted to try your cooking. Here you go.” The young man also pulled a gold watch from his pocket. “This is from him; he insisted I take it, and I… I’ve refused many times already, but…”
“Okay, let him come. You can take this back.” Qi Yue agreed. It was obvious that he was getting a good deal by bringing such a big dog just for a meal.
The young man insisted on giving the gold watch to Qi Yue and left without a trace, having already informed his friend.
With a gold watch in his hand, well, he can now sell the food he makes. Qi Yue is actually planning to open a restaurant. Firstly, he can practice his supernatural abilities; secondly, cooking delicious food is one of his hobbies; and thirdly, he can earn crystal cores.
There was plenty of food, so Qi Yue decided to make a dog meat hot pot. He quickly got to work, preparing the ingredients. Ge got everything ready, made several cold dishes, and put the dog meat in the pot to stew.
It was still early, so Qi Yue told the people outside to keep an eye on the dog meat in the pot and then went out. His current pleasure was to lock Liu Yue’s space every day, watching Liu Yue get anxious because she couldn’t get in, which gave him a secret sense of satisfaction.
The base’s mission assignment hall was filled with captains of well-known superpowered teams from various bases, as well as official officials. The joint operation was scheduled for two days later; this would be the last meeting to gather all personnel for the operation, where the specific arrangements and evacuation details would be announced.
Qi Yue stood in a corner of the lobby on the first floor, leaning against the wall, smoking and shaking his leg, waiting impatiently.
The meeting room door was opened from the inside, and the attendees came out one after another. Liu Yue was among them, standing out conspicuously. Dressed in flowing white, with long, beautiful hair and a delicate, rosy face, she was the dream girl of many men.
A boy suddenly appeared out of nowhere, pointed at Liu Yue, and loudly accused her: “Where did you hide Feng Zhe? Even if he couldn’t satisfy you, you can’t kill him! How could you be so heartless?” The crowd immediately started discussing among themselves.
Liu Yue stared at the boy, her face alternating between pale and flushed, and said innocently, “Who are you? What nonsense are you spouting?”
The boy raised his face, letting everyone see his features; he was an exceptionally handsome boy. His eyes were red and swollen: “How could you say such a thing? Have you forgotten the happy times the three of us spent together in ***?”
It was peak time, and the mission hall was bustling with people, all stopping to watch the spectacle. Hearing the boy’s words, everyone gasped. This woman was surprisingly provocative, requiring two men to serve her at the same time.
“Shut up! I don’t know you at all. Take him away! Where did this lunatic come from?” Liu Yue was furious and gestured to the people next to her to take the boy away.
“You have a black mole on your chest.” Seeing the person next to him coming over, the boy unexpectedly rushed forward and ripped open Liu Yue’s clothes. “You also have one down there. I’m telling the truth. You poisonous woman, you only suck men’s s*men.”
Looking down at the fleshy expanse of white flesh, a dark mole was indeed faintly visible beneath her bra.
Liu Yue, her hand trembling, pointed at the boy and hysterically shouted at the people around her, “Are you all blind? Get him out of here right now!”
“Please let Feng Zhe go! He’s just not feeling well lately, that’s why he’s having some trouble taking care of you. He’ll be able to serve you well once he gets better. Please, spare him! He’s your cousin!” the boy cried out, drawing the attention of everyone in the hall.
“Did you hear? Last time at the Tang family’s house, quite a few people saw this woman and her cousin having sex. How shameless! She couldn’t even control herself in someone else’s house. She’s so sl*tty.” A superhuman in the hall whispered to the person next to him, his voice so loud that everyone could hear it.
“Her innocent appearance is all an act. Her cousin is a good-for-nothing. If it were me, I’d be sleeping with her every day.”
Liu Yue was so angry she gritted her teeth. Ignoring everything else, she turned and left with a dark expression. What bad luck! Things had been going wrong lately, and she’d completely overlooked this person. What a blunder!
Liao Feifan, who had come with him, was being pestered by Tang Ke. He had been by Liu Yue’s side the whole time, but Tang Ke stopped him just before he left the meeting room, asking him a lot of questions. By the time Tang Ke finally understood everything and let him go, he realized that Liu Yue had already gone home. After asking some questions, he left anxiously.
Those who had witnessed the scene in the hall were still discussing it. Qi Yue flicked away his cigarette and strolled over. He had come to call those people home for lunch. Tsk tsk, it’s already midday, time for lunch. More dishes, stewed dog meat, it really makes my mouth water.
In District C, there was a dilapidated bungalow. Two men at the door were greeting the newcomers, “Last time, one crystal core; the more you bring, the more you get.”
A thin, somewhat malnourished man emerged from the house, pulling up his trousers. He bowed and scraped before the man at the door, saying, “Brother, I’ll take it twice.” He grinned broadly, accepted the crystal core offered to him, and left. Such a good thing was hard to come by; after the pleasure, he wanted the crystal core too.
In the room, there was only one large bed, and lying on it was a man who looked to be about thirty years old. His hands were chained to either side of the headboard. His body was covered in wounds, and his crotch was covered in white welts. His hands were raw and bloody from being rubbed by the chains, and there was a conspicuous scar on his neck.
