Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the town hall, Lu Yunxiang had set the dinner in a banquet hall on the second floor.

Tang Susu and Mrs. Tang were used to eating hot food and all kinds of delicious food, so their sense of smell was “dulled” and they couldn’t sense the fragrance of the surrounding food.

The two people beside them couldn’t help but swallow their saliva. Even their footsteps couldn’t help but speed up a lot as if they were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to eat if they were late.

Pushing the door open, there was a burst of joy and excitement inside.

“Good heavens, it smells so good! Were these all cooked using gas stoves? I’ve eaten so many ready-made meals that I’m about to throw up!”

“You have ready-made meals? At least it tastes good. I’ve been eating things for military emergencies, such as compressed biscuits and military chocolate. Not only are they tasteless, but they taste so bad!”

“There’s nothing we can do about it. In such poor conditions, we’re already having it better than most people by just having something to eat.”

A group of people was lamenting just like those old people who were reminiscing about the good old days.

Tang Susu looked over and saw a table full of vegetables. There were about 20 dishes, and some of them looked like meat dishes. However, with her eyesight, she could tell that they were made with vegetables.

One was probably a mushroom, and the other was a bean product. It was processed into something that looked like meat, drizzled with thick oil and red sauce. It did look like braised meat.

“But where do these fresh vegetables come from?” A Metahuman brought by Shi Shaochen asked impolitely, his tone unable to hide his covetous eyes.

At this time, Lu Yunxiang naturally had no intention of hiding it. “I’m a user of Wood-type power. Just growing some vegetables is nothing for me.”

Tang Susu glanced at her. Sure enough, she had guessed the same thing.

Shi Shaochen’s heart skipped a beat. Up until this point, their team lacked a single user who could use Wood-type powers.

If possible, he wanted to gather Metahumans that encompassed all the elements and form a powerful Metahuman army!

He finally looked Lu Yunxiang straight in the eye. “Please have a seat, Ms. Lu.”

The position he was pointing at was not the main seat.

Lu Yunxiang’s heart was burning with rage, but she did not argue over this small matter.

After that, she watched as Shi Shaochen sat down on the main seat and invited the others to take a seat as if he was the host.

She secretly clenched her fists!

There were about 15 seats on the luxurious red wooden round table. Other than Shi Shaochen’s group of seven, there were eight seats on Lu Yunxiang’s side.

As if it was a deliberate arrangement, Tang Susu and her mother, who were at the back, were left behind.

The etiquette at the dining table was that whoever was left without a seat would be at a social disadvantage. It was as if they were not important enough to be reserved for seats.

Lu Yunxiang frowned. “What’s going on? Didn’t you arrange for seventeen chairs?”

“Ms. Ying said that it was a little crowded, so she took away two seats.” Zhou Jun felt satisfied. How could he refuse such a good chance to humiliate the Tang family?

Lu Yunxiang looked at him and thought about how he was being very attentive to Shi Shaochen and the others. Her eyebrows twitched again.

He then looked at the two people standing there. Their expressions were calm, and they were not angry at all because of such a childish plot. She then thought of the mysterious power hidden by the Tang family…

“You should sit here.” She immediately pulled Mr. Duan up. By doing so, she had undoubtedly given Tang Susu some face.

The smile on Ying Chengya’s face froze.

At this time, Mrs. Tang suddenly said in a serious tone, “Ying Chcngya, as a junior, shouldn’t you give up your position to me, your aunt?”

“At least, after your parents passed away in junior high, your uncle Tang and I have been taking care of you. We were afraid that you would be lonely, so we took you with us whenever we had any activities or travel! When the car accident happened, my eldest son even lost his leg in order to save you. He had to put on a prosthetic leg to walk! We were the ones who reminded you to prepare for the apocalypse. Have you forgotten all of that?”

Mrs. Tang’s words were swift, sharp, and full of disappointment. She didn’t give Ying Chengya any chance to interrupt her. Everyone looked at each other.

Ying Chengya and the others had been paying attention to her and taking care of her. After all, she was the boss’s woman.

Besides, she was good-looking, approachable, and kind. Besides having a good impression of her, they even had a secret desire in their hearts. They would do anything she asked them to do!

Now that they suddenly heard such an ingrate, they subconsciously wanted to refute this middle-aged woman.

How could Ying Chengya be such an ungrateful person? if they didn’t do anything wrong to her, she would not have been so rude to them!

However, Lu Yunxiang beat them to it and said, “Shi Shaochen, you have such good eyes. No matter what between those two in the past, she can’t just sit in her seat and not move for the sake of her ciders, right?”

Zhou Jun immediately came to his rescue and said, “Just add the chairs back. In the apocalypse, some people shouldn’t think about taking advantage by using their seniority. Now, power speaks louder!”

“Is that so?” Mrs. Tang smiled and suddenly attacked. With no warning, everyone stood up in shock and saw a handful of soil gathered above Zhou Jun’s head.

The shape looked like a small triangular grave with a grave mound, and then…

It was as if he had been stunned, and all of it was ‘poured’ on Zhou Jun’s head!

Zhou Jun was stunned for a moment. Then, he stood up angrily with his head and face covered in dirt. “Do you want to die?!”

With that, an earth spike appeared in his hand, ready to fire back at Mrs. Tang, but before he could fire it, the earth spike suddenly retracted!

An embarrassed look flashed across Zhou Jun’s face. He did not believe it and wanted to try again, but there was no movement at all.

He had forgotten that his ability was almost exhausted and had not fully recovered. He had also forgotten that he was injured, which greatly reduced the efficiency of his ability.

Shi Shaochen couldn’t even take him seriously anymore as he stopped midway like that. “Alright, are we still eating? ”

“You can have my seat, auntie. Don’t make things difficult for others because of this.” Ying Chengya sounded like she was pleading, but everyone could hear how much grievance she felt.

Shi Shaochen was about to stop her, but Mrs. Tang had already sat down on the seat.

She squeezed closer to him and said, “Quick, add a chair here. Susu, come and sit here!”

The others were already very hungry and didn’t want to cause any more trouble, so they quickly replaced the chairs that had been moved out.

When Tang Susu sat down with a calm expression, Ying Chengya’s expression was so dark that it almost could not be concealed.

What shocked her, even more, was that someone from the Tang family had awakened with a superpower!

She thought that the change in Tang Susu’s personality was due to a butterfly effect caused by her existence. But how could there be such a huge change to the point that it affected something like superpowers?

Shi Shaochen wasn’t any better. He was tall and buffed, and now he couldn’t even stretch his limbs freely because of Mrs. Tang.

At that moment, someone placed a chair on the other side of him. Ying Chengya was deep in thought and did not notice his awkward behavior. She sat down.

For a moment, he, the boss, was actually squeezed like a pie!

However, Lu Yunxiang, who was sitting beside Ying Chengya, saw his embarrassment, but she refused to move an inch to make space for him.

She only smiled and admired his sullen expression. In a good mood, she said, “Eat, eat!”

As he picked up his chopsticks, Shi Shaochen felt even worse. To be honest, he had not eaten fresh vegetables for a long time. However, that appetite of his had disappeared completely after being squeezed from the two sides.

He put down his chopsticks and started talking about serious business.

“The reason I come here is that I hope that we can merge our two shelters..”
