“I noticed a few red willow trees on our way here. It’s not easy to find them, so consider ourselves lucky.”
Liang Jun smiled and took out his Swiss knife. In the blink of an eye, he had already cut out more than ten wooden strips for them. The top was sharpened so that it was easy to skewer the ingredients.
The workload was a little heavy. Lu Yunxiang, who had just finished a bowl of instant noodles, came to help. Cheng Cheng and Xiaoyuan were busy again without saying a word. They only felt that this feeling of everyone working together toward the same thing was very enjoyable.
Although there were only seven catties of vegetables and three catties of meat, there were many skewers. Not only had Liang Jun used up all the red willow branches he had cut, but the eggplant and corn could only be cut up and placed on the grill.
At seven o’clock in the evening, under the illumination of an incandescent lamp that Mr. Tang had pulled down from the RV, all fifty-four people joined in.
With so many people working together, it didn’t take long for everyone to finish the work.
Tang Susu, on the other hand, was the most idle person. She sat on the hood of a car and chewed gum while keeping an eye on her surroundings.
Fortunately, she had chosen a good location. There shouldn’t be any danger here.
“It’s almost time. We can officially start barbecuing!” Bai Yanhui shouted happily, and those who had helped quickly retreated.
Tang Susu stopped them. “Don’t be in such a hurry to leave. Although there aren’t enough skewers for everyone, we can all have a bowl of porridge each. It’s enough!”
Those people looked at the pot of thick porridge with finely diced vegetables in disbelief. Even Mr. Li didn’t expect that this porridge was made for them.
After adding the vegetables, one catty of rice could be cooked into eighteen bowls of porridge, and it was the very thick kind. Even when Mr. Li only cooked five jin of rice, everyone could probably eat two bowls of porridge!
The group was extremely touched. This was not the porridge they had cooked after saving their grains, nor was it cooked with the river water. There were even vegetables grown from wood-type superpowers in it. After being cooked by the chef, it was simply too fragrant!
Even though many people didn’t bring bowls and needed to borrow other people’s bowls, they still ate happily.
After eating, all of them ran over to the Tang family to thank them.
“You can only kill more zombies after you’re full. It’ll be less dangerous for our entire team as well. You’re welcome.”
Mr. Tang said without raising his head. It was true that they had more to share with the people present.
However, it would attract greed and even make people slowly take it for granted if they were being too generous with it. Once they couldn’t provide any more help, they would instead attract resentment!
Therefore, their family prepared a good vegetable porridge. It was enough to fill their stomachs and also had a certain amount of nutrition. Their conscience was clear.
Even so, there were still people who felt unhappy because of their selfish desires, especially the fragrance of the barbecue. It was definitely testing their moral sense.
“Why is it that even the Victory Squad can join, but we’re left alone? Including us, there aren’t too many people, right? It’s good to show at least some generosity!” One of the ten metahumans from the shelter complained.
“That’s right. We metahumans are treated the same as ordinary people. We obviously put in more effort. Even if we can’t beat the Victory Squad in power, we should at least be treated better than ordinary people.”
“It’s not me who said it.” One of them couldn’t help but look at the Tang family’s RV. “They should have a lot of good stuff, right? We only have two bowls of vegetable porridge without any meat. It’s indeed a little shabby.”
Another person couldn’t help but gulp. When he thought of the pork belly he had skewered just now, he regretted not taking some secretly.
“That’s meat that hasn’t mutated! Where did they find it? Won’t it go bad without electricity? They don’t look frozen at all. There’s even blood on them!”
The few people who were discussing narrowed their eyes.
“Have you heard of space-type superpowers?” The metal-powered Fang Huai thought of what he had heard before.
“Space-type?”
“Although I’ve never seen it before, it’s very wondrous. It’s said that it has a space as big as a football field. It can carry anything inside of it and keep it fresh. You can even hide yourself inside it!”
The others who had never heard of it before gasped and quickly lowered their voices. “You mean, there’s someone with space-type superpower people among the Tang family? That was another rare ability! What’s wrong with their family? Is there something wrong with them? How did they get so many rare powers?!”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but speak louder.. It was simply too shocking!
