“Then let’s tear the bag with two hands and milk! How many nucleis do you need?” Ling Xuanwei asked.

“Three Class 1 nucleis each for tearing a bag by hand and five Class 1 nucleis for milk. You’re the first order in this shop with a 50% discount.”

Yun You’s tone was calm, but only she knew in her heart that it was a 50% discount! She felt a little heartache that half of it was gone in an instant. However, she had no choice. The price set by the system could not be changed.

Ling Xuanwei handed over the nuclei and distributed the food to Lu Linyan. Then, she pulled him to a seat in the hall. Just as Ling Xuanwei was about to eat, Lu Linyan pulled her sleeve.

Ling Xuanwei looked at him in confusion. What’s wrong?

After Lu Linyan met her eyes, he glanced at the food in his hand. Although he trusted Ling Xuanwei, he was still a little worried about the food.

“Don’t worry, the food is not poisonous. It’s real and honest.”

Yun You watched his small movements from the front desk and knew what he was worried about. She felt a little helpless. However, there was nothing she could do. Who asked her shop to have such a strange location?

Lu Linyan looked a little embarrassed.

“I’m sorry, he was just too cautious.” Ling Xuanwei apologized to Yun You.

“It’s alright. In the apocalypse, it’s good to be cautious,” Yun You replied.

Ling Xuanwei patted Lu Linyan’s hand and whispered to him, “Don’t worry, there’s no problem. I can confirm that I know this shop. I guarantee that there’s no problem with the things.”

When she looked around just now, she saw the orange cat lying on the chair. It was the same as she remembered in her previous life. She was a little uncertain just now, but now she was completely sure.

Lu Linyan nodded. He picked up the bag and tried it. It tasted good without any bitterness mixed in.

Wait, there was no bitter taste. Was this unpolluted food from before the apocalypse?!

He raised his head and looked at Ling Xuanwei. Ling Xuanwei, who had been stared at by him for a long time, finally reacted. This was the first time he had eaten the food in the shop, so he did not know that the food in the shop was all pollution-free.

“Yes, this shop should sell unpolluted food.”

Oh my god! Which base’s daughter would sell something so priceless? Lu Linyan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

After eating, the two of them planned to rest for a while before leaving.

Looking at the two of them who were resting, Yun You patted her head and suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to promote the signature drink that she had just made.

She pointed at the two fruit teas on the front table and shouted, “Would the two of you like a cup of our shop’s new signature fruit tea, ‘Resuscitation’? The price is one Level 3 nuclei.”

“There’s no discount on this brand.”

To be honest, even Yun You herself felt that a Level 3 nuclei was a little expensive for ordinary Level 2 and 3 ability users.

When Ling Xuanwei heard this name, she was a little excited. The fruit tea could recover her exhausted ability and clear her mental exhaustion. It was also beneficial to the healing of her wounds.

Lu Linyan was still thinking that it was a little expensive. The nuclei of a Level 3 zombie was still a little precious.

At the side, Ling Xuanwei shouted, “We’ll take both of those cups.”

Lu Linyan wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he did not stop her.

Yun You was overjoyed. At first, she thought that the price of Level 3 zombie nuclei might make customers retreat. Buying one cup might be the limit. She didn’t expect that the man would ask for two cups without asking. It was as if he knew that it was worth it.

However, she did not say anything and handed over two cups of fruit tea.

“During the period between 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm, this shop is in a rest period and won’t be open for business again. After you finish drinking the fruit tea, leave the cups on the table. After that, you can choose to stay in the shop to rest or leave.”

“Will do.”

Yun You walked to another table, picked up Big Orange, who was lying on the ground, and turned to go upstairs. She and Han Qichuan had not eaten lunch yet!

Lu Linyan took a sip of fruit tea. The natural fragrance of the fruit was crisp. When he bit into it, his mouth was filled with fragrance. The orange meat was full and juicy, and the pineapple was sour, sweet, and thick. Coupled with the harmonization of the tea and the unknown fresh green leaf, the fruit tea was still as unpolluted as the previous food. The taste was definitely flawless.

Moreover, Lu Linyan could also feel that the exhaustion in his body was quickly recovering. He could not help but be shocked.

There were too many good things in this shop!

The corners of Lu Linyan’s mouth curled up as he called out to the manager, who was about to step onto the stairs. “Manager, there are so many good things in the shop. Aren’t you afraid of being robbed or getting killed?”

Ling Xuanwei, who was beside him, was stunned at first. Then, she smiled and shook her head before continuing to drink the fruit tea in her hand.

Yun You also paused for a moment before replying with a smile, “Thank you for the reminder. Our shop guarantees your safety in the shop. It’s also safe again stealing or robbing. You don’t have to worry. If you don’t believe me, you can try it yourself.”

After saying that, Yun You didn’t delay any longer and walked straight upstairs.

Of course, Lu Linyan would not be the one to steal it. He was just reminding her out of goodwill. Although he guessed that the Strength-type ability zombie was repelled because of the shop, the most dangerous thing in the apocalypse was not the zombies, but the human heart.

However, since the store manager had already said so, he naturally wouldn’t say anything else. To his surprise, the store actually guaranteed their absolute safety.

“This shop really has the ability,” Ling Xuanwei said to him.

Although she didn’t know much about the shop in her previous life, she knew this very well.

“Yes, we’ll stay in the shop for now,” Lu Linyan replied. “By the way, have you contacted the base?”

“Not yet. I’ll contact right away.”

Ling Xuanwei took out a device that looked like a walkie-talkie and fiddled with it for a while. In the end, the corners of her mouth twitched.

“What happened?”

“The call equipment is broken. It must have been broken when we were escaping.”

“I’ll try mine.”

Lu Linyan took out his equipment. There was a crack on it. The damage was obviously greater than the one in Ling Xuanwei’s hand.

“Looks like we have to wait for them to find us, or we can go back ourselves later.” Lu Linyan gave Ling Xuanwei a polite but awkward smile.

“…”

Upstairs, Yun You placed Big Orange on the sofa in the living room. There was no sign of Han Qichuan in the spacious living room. There was a high chance that he was still resting in his room. She planned to make lunch in the kitchen on the second floor first, mainly because she didn’t want to eat dry bread.

She made a simple lunch of stir-fried shredded meat, cabbage, and egg soup, enough for two people and a cat . Fortunately, Big Orange was not an ordinary cat and did not need special food. At most, she added a little dried fish, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Forty minutes later, lunch was done.

Yun You clapped her hands and thought to herself, “I still feel a sense of accomplishment when I cook.”

Yun You placed the dishes on the table. Big Orange, who had smelled the fragrance of the dishes, had already pulled out its exclusive napkin from the system space and wrapped it around its chest. It jumped onto the chair and waited for the meal to begin.

“You’re the fastest when it’s meal time.” Yun You patted Big Orange’s head.

“Fresh food is always better than dried kibble.”

Yun You smiled and went to her room to call Han Qichuan.

“Han Qichuan, come out for lunch.”

“Yes.” Han Qichuan’s voice was low.

She pushed open the door and the first thing she saw was Han Qichuan’s half-exposed body with his back facing her. Although she had seen it once before, Yun You’s face still blushed slightly and she wanted to touch it!

Calm down, what are you thinking about? Yun You quickly calmed down, and her resistance rose.

When Yun You saw what Han Qichuan was doing, she was shocked!

He was actually…
