What's wrong with being a little arrogant in the apocalypse just to support my wife?

These drinks may seem strange to humans, but they are simply divine to sea monsters, exotic plants, and zombies!

Who has such good taste and understanding of these things to create such exquisite food?!

The boss, who had made a fortune, couldn't stop smiling. Sigh, wasn't it all for making money? It was all for a living. He almost lost everything at first, but to make money, he gritted his teeth, kicked his leg, and set his sights on sea monsters and strange beasts.

The result was simply wonderful. All those sea monsters and strange creatures, please show some respect, they are clearly his gods!

The little deer wasn't interested in this exotic drink. Now it looked at all the delicious food shops on the street with a bit of a dilemma. Could it only choose one? It really couldn't choose!

Although Xiong Bing possessed ice-type abilities, it had a soft spot for the little cub. Seeing the little deer's predicament, it thought for a moment and decided to compromise, saying, "How about this, you can choose three snacks, but you have to drink a cup of herbal tea when you get back today."

She said that because her daughter had eaten too many snacks recently, which caused her to develop a mouth ulcer. The ulcer was so painful that she couldn't eat anything comfortably, so she hurriedly took her to the clinic.

The doctor said it was just internal heat and prescribed some herbal tea to reduce it. He also told Xiong Bing to control the child's diet.

When she came out, Xiong Bing met a kind human and chatted with her about parenting. She gave Xiong Bing some advice on what to do if someone had a fever. Xiong Bing sincerely thanked her.

The auntie smiled and waved her hand, "Oh, it's nothing. I just thought of my grandson when I saw her, so I couldn't help but nag a bit."

Seeing that the medicine dispensing wasn't finished, Xiong Bing casually asked her, "How old is your grandson?"

The aunt's smile froze for a moment, then she laughed again and said, "If it were alive, it would probably be about the same size as your fawn, almost a year old."

In the apocalypse, almost everyone has lost friends and family; death has become the norm. Xiong Bing lowered her head and apologized. The aunt didn't think she had done anything wrong. Just then, her medicine was ready, and the aunt patted Xiao Lu's head. "There's nothing to apologize for. Just protect her."

Xiong Bing was lost in thought about these things, while Xiao Lu had already set her sights on the grilled squid and grabbed thirty skewers, afraid that she wouldn't have enough to eat.

While Xiong Bing wasn't looking, she secretly added ten more skewers. She thought she was being extravagant, but then she heard a voice behind her say, "Boss, give me fifty skewers."

Hearing this number, Chen Ping was slightly speechless. "Isn't fifty skewers too much? Didn't you just finish three bowls of noodles?"

Morse was shocked. "Only three bowls of noodles? Aren't those supposed to be appetizers?"

Chen Ping, who came to inspect West Street, sighed, feeling that Morse had forgotten their mission.

Morse had just finished the defensive work outside the base with a group of sea monsters, and he was starving. His powers were almost at their limit, so it was only right that he eat something to replenish them.

Little Deer looked enviously at Morse, who was financially free and could eat as much as he wanted. She even wanted to secretly add the same amount as Morse, but was stopped by Xiong Bing, who had already come to her senses.

Xiong Bing had been on a mission with Morse before. After stopping Xiao Lu's actions, she greeted Morse and asked about the current situation outside the base.

The boss, who was working hard, also quietly pricked up his ears when he heard this. Morse didn't hide anything, "It's so hot outside right now. If you don't use your superpowers to protect yourself, you'll be skinned alive if you go out."

"Moreover, because there were many avalanches and floods after the snow melted, we added many layers of supernatural abilities on the outside, which did not have much impact on the base."

"The announcement screen in the center of the base shows what the outside looks like now. There are a few people with decent superpowers who have barely survived and have applied to join the base. Chen Mingzhang and Jiang Yue are currently verifying their applications."

"If they join the base, we'll need to recruit more earth-type ability users to build houses. Luckily, we anticipated the expansion ahead of time, so the base has plenty of land reserved. Otherwise, we wouldn't know where to put these people now that they're coming in."

The grilled squid owner, who had been a little nervous about the situation outside, felt relieved after hearing Morse's words and handed the grilled squid to Morse with a smile.

"Two hundred and fifty universal coins? That doesn't sound good. How about a little less, two hundred and forty universal coins?"

Having already gained experience, Morse had mastered the art of haggling. The owner of the grilled squid restaurant wasn't a difficult person to talk to and readily agreed, after all, Morse was a big customer.

Grilled squid costs five universal coins per skewer, which is considered a relatively cheap snack within the base because the raw materials are cheap. Meat and seafood are not expensive within the base, while vegetables, fruits, rice, and noodles are expensive.

Five universal coins per string is a pretty low price. At least for someone like Morse, if it's just about eating, he can eat as much as he wants without going hungry.

Previously, Lu Yize had asked him and Chen Ping to collect the corpses of those sea beasts. The reward for the mission was the sea beasts' ability cores and crystal cores. Most of those sea beasts were first-tier, but there were also quite a few second-tier and third-tier ones.

Even after splitting the crystal cores in half with Chen Ping, the number of crystal cores they had was still staggering. They kept most of them to enhance their abilities and exchanged the rest for universal currency, enough to feed them for several years.

Moreover, a fifth-tier ability user like Morse receives a large amount of daily food. He can now directly exchange this food for universal currency at the base's shop and then use the universal currency to buy more food, which basically allows him to break even.

He used to think that food was just for keeping him alive, ha! That's because he'd never tasted anything so delicious!

Chen Ping watched Morse and the fawn, both engrossed in eating grilled squid, and felt a rather subtle feeling.

Morse forgot the main reason for coming to this street, but Chen Ping didn't. He was now similar to a city management officer, needing to conduct regular spot checks on these shops. These shops also needed to pay taxes to the base, although Zheng Mu was generally in charge of tax matters.

It's not surprising that Morse and his group are so fond of these snacks. Besides the fact that the people of Nanling are skilled cooks, another reason is that the meat of these strange beasts and sea monsters contains supernatural abilities.

These supernatural abilities can be absorbed by the human body after being ingested, and they taste far better than ordinary ingredients.

Morse took a bite of the grilled squid, and the freshness of the squid and the aroma of the seasoning spread in his mouth. As he chewed the chewy and delicious squid, his mouth was filled with a wonderful sensation.

These foods are so delicious, no wonder he can eat so much! Morse thought confidently.
