The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

From their height, the pot full of steamed rice was completely exposed to their view.

Those tiny grains, densely packed together, stained brown by soy sauce, are they rice?

Those oval-shaped, brown, fragrant pieces, are they sausages?

Those shiny, golden crumbs, are they eggs?

Those cubes, with a little bit of egg yolk on them, are they potatoes?

Those round, greenish-blue cute little balls, are they beans?

It smells so good!

The strong fragrance ignored their feelings and forcefully and domineeringly entered the noses of Tian Haifeng and his companions.

Han Yu, who hadn't had a proper meal in days, kept drooling.

Wang Yao was completely out of his mind, his eyes fixed on the rice in the pot, his eyes shining.

That's cured pork, and that's rice!

How long has it been since he last ate these things after the apocalypse?

Ye Xiao was already sitting at the table, and Lan Ling and Sister Lin were setting out bowls and chopsticks.

When they brought Lan Ling out, Chen Ge and the others were startled, but they all thought that Ye Xiao had rescued the asymptomatic woman from inside.

They all tacitly refrained from asking any further questions.

Especially Sister Lin, who was particularly close to Lan Ling.

Ye Xiao waved to everyone, "Sit down and eat!"

As soon as Ye Xiao spoke, Zhou Qirui immediately took a bowl and filled it with rice for Ye Xiao, then filled it for himself and sat down on a low stool next to him.

Chen Ge and his group almost all sat down, served themselves rice, and began to enjoy their meal.

Tian Haifeng and Zhou Hu stood there awkwardly, too embarrassed to go forward.

Seeing the four of them looking rather reserved, Ye Xiao put down his chopsticks and asked, puzzled:

"Hey? What are you standing there for? Sit down and eat!"

As he spoke, Ye Xiao put down his chopsticks, picked up an empty bowl, filled it with a full bowl of braised pork rice, and placed it on the empty seat next to him.

Seeing Ye Xiao serving rice to each of them, Tian Haifeng felt very embarrassed and quickly sat down, taking the bowls and chopsticks that Ye Xiao handed him.

"Thank you, Brother Xiao."

Han Yu and the others quietly sat down beside them, picked up their chopsticks and bowls, and cautiously shoveled a mouthful of rice into their mouths.

The rich aroma burst in their mouths instantly. Han Yu and Wang Yao glanced at Ye Xiao, then immediately buried their heads and began to eat heartily.

Zhou Hu also kept his head down, humming as he ate.

Chen Ge, with his legs crossed and a bowl and chopsticks in his hand, smiled and said:

"How was it? Lin Jie and Lao Han's cooking? Not bad, right?"

Han Yu ate with his mouth full of food, "Delicious, so delicious!"

Wang Yao could only nod his head, chewing noisily, while Zhou Hu was also making smacking noises.

Tian Haifeng, who was barely polite, couldn't help but sigh:

"I haven't had rice in ages, it smells so good!"

Ye Xiao solemnly introduced to the others:

"This is Tian Haifeng, this is Zhou Hu, Han Yu, and Wang Yao. From now on, they will be members of our team. We will support each other from now on."

Ye Xiao raised his hand and patted Tian Haifeng on the shoulder, "You guys too, if anything happens in the future, just tell me. Don't bear any difficulties on your own. As the captain, I won't let my subordinates suffer."

The people on one side nodded vigorously. Han Yu and Wang Yao were already dazed by the aroma of the braised rice, and their previous suspicions about Ye Xiao had long been forgotten.

Does Ye Xiao have some bad plans?

Ha, just kidding. With food like this, how could there be any bad plans?

They are ready to go to great lengths for their captain!

The four of them ate heartily while nodding and greeting everyone haphazardly.

Dahei and the others didn't feel offended; they just smiled and remained silent.

At that moment, a system panel suddenly popped up in front of Ye Xiao.

Congratulations on successfully creating an adventure party of 10 or more members! You have earned the achievement title: "Adventurer"

[Adventurer Achievement Rewards: Seed Core Knife *2, Seed Core Shotgun *2]

Hmm? A new achievement?

Wait, why didn't I see the notification when we were at Tian Haifeng's place? Why is it only appearing now?

Could it be that these four people are only truly willing now?

[SilverMoon315: It seems they are quite satisfied with the food.]

[Three Foxes: There's nothing a meal can't solve.]

[Han Jiangxue: LOL, he got bribed by the food!]

[Grandpa's soaked feet: Finally, they were placed on top of the food.]

……

Ye Xiao's eye twitched slightly; these four guys were truly honest.

However, although there was an achievement, the reward for this achievement was not much, and most importantly, there was no cash reward, which was a real pity.

After finishing their meal, Han Yu and Wang Yao, their mouths greasy, kept burping.

Lan Ling rolled her eyes, amused. She patted Ye Xiao on the shoulder, pulled him to a corner of the backyard, and gestured towards the group of people chatting and brewing tea at the table.

"Hey, are these guys reliable?"

Ye Xiao gave the other person a reassuring look, then pinched two fingers together, "Don't worry, I've got it!"

Two days later, two vehicles equipped with thick sheet metal protection slowly drove along the wide streets inside the base towards the base gate.

Tian Haifeng and his team have finished repairing their vehicle, and a sealed cargo bed has been installed on the back of their pickup truck.

Zhou Hu was driving a car with Tian Haifeng, Han Yu, and two others inside. In another car, Chen Ge, A Zhao, Lan Ling, and Ye Xiao were sitting.

It was close to seven or eight in the morning, and a long line of vehicles, ready to leave the base for adventure, had already formed at the base gate, undergoing inspection and registration at the checkpoint.

Lan Ling made some disguises on her face, making her look like a mutant. However, no woman who was able to move around outside would associate her with an asymptomatic person.

The car moved slowly forward. The guard at the checkpoint stopped next to the passenger side of the car and reached out to tap on the door.

Which squad?

With a click, Ye Xiao pushed open the car door, reached into his pocket, took out an ID card, and handed it over.

The guard, dressed in camouflage, glanced at the metal identification card, then looked up at Ye Xiao, quite surprised.

"Hey, Ye Xiao? It's you! What are you up to?"

A familiar voice came from the side. Ye Xiao looked up and saw Yang Ke, the guard captain of the outpost and one of the current leaders.

"Hey, why is Boss Yang personally checking up on things?"

Ye Xiao joked with the person, and Yang Ke chuckled, glanced at the ID, and handed it back to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao smiled, took the documents back from the other person, and said:

"I encountered another asymptomatic person in a certain place before the rainy season. So, I'm planning to go and see if they're still there, and then bring them back to the base."

Yang Ke raised an eyebrow and patted Ye Xiao on the shoulder, "You're something else. I knew you were something special back then."

Yang Ke's words were loaded with meaning, and Ye Xiao knew that he was somewhat displeased with Ye Xiao's support for Chen Zhenhong.

Ye Xiao chuckled and lowered his voice, "If you find any good stuff on this trip, bring some back for you, Brother Yang. But don't tell anyone!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ke nodded in satisfaction. Ye Xiao.

"You're a good kid, you know what you're doing! But is this all the men you've brought?"

Yang Ke frowned and looked into the car, while Ye Xiao pointed to the car following behind.

"That's enough. Bringing too much would be inconvenient."

"Okay, be careful! Remember to bring me plenty!"

After waving goodbye to Yang Ke and closing the car door, the car smoothly left the outpost and drove out of the base gate.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but exhale and complain, "That Yang Ke is really petty!"
