"It's said that zombie tides only occur about once every six months, with a small number of zombies, at most around a hundred thousand."
"A hundred thousand?" Luo Yunshi frowned, and that was considered few?
"When was the last zombie tide?" Luo Yunshi asked.
"It should have been in January! Yes, January, two months ago," the young man replied.
Luo Yunshi was speechless. It seemed that in four months, her fast-food restaurant would need to upgrade quite a bit.
Luo Yunshi chatted with the others for a while longer, and soon heard footsteps from outside again.
"Yo! More customers," Luo Yunshi said, looking towards the door.
"Hello, Boss Luo. Shen Changping introduced me. I bought a boxed meal from him last night, and it was so delicious I was hooked. I asked him where he got it, and he recommended this place."
A man entered with over a dozen people.
Luo Yunshi sized up the man. He looked to be about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, with a sharp and capable demeanor, and a sunny aura about him.
"Shen Changping said there would be new dishes today, so I wanted to come and see. I didn't expect it to be true."
"Yes, the fast-food restaurant has different dishes and fruits every day. Please come and redeem your points here first!" Luo Yunshi gestured towards the point redemption machine and said with a smile.
Based on the number of people, Luo Yunshi copied sixteen boxed meals at the replicator and placed them in the foam boxes on the table.
"Beep, redemption successful!
Name: Yin Pengfei
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Points: 3500."
Yin Pengfei was amazed by the voice and data in his mind.
Indeed, just as Brother Shen had said, this Boss Luo was no ordinary person.
The other dozen or so people were also inwardly astonished.
Soon, all sixteen people took their boxed meals from the foam boxes. Some sat on chairs, while those who didn't have seats chose to stand, or simply sat on the ground, opening their meals and starting to eat.
Seeing this, Luo Yunshi coughed awkwardly.
"The shop is newly opened, and the opening was rushed, so we haven't had time to renovate. The shop is a bit basic. But it will get better after a while. I'll figure something out, we can't have you with nowhere to sit."
"Hehe, it's fine. It's the apocalypse, so having something to eat is good enough. Being able to eat such delicious food now is something I never even dreamed of!" Yin Pengfei said with his mouth full as he ate his boxed meal.
"Exactly. This is the first time I've had cola chicken wings since the apocalypse."
"Boss Luo, give me another boxed meal."
"Give me another one!"
"Boss Luo, give me one too!"
...
Luo Yunshi was astonished by how much they could eat and felt happy inside.
Heh heh, eating well is good! It means more sales.
"Okay, I'll put them all in the foam boxes. Just come and get them yourselves if you want more!"
Saying that, Luo Yunshi directly replicated twenty more boxed meals at the replicator and placed them in the foam boxes.
Soon, the dozen or so people went to get more boxed meals.
Seeing this, Luo Yunshi asked with a smile, "The portions in my boxed meals are quite large! Can you eat all of this?"
"We can eat it, no problem at all. We are all Level Two and Level Three ability users among us, so this is no issue," a胖子 said after swallowing a mouthful of meat.
Level Two ability users?! Level Three ability users?! Luo Yunshi's eyes widened as she looked at them.
This meant that the higher the ability level, the more one could eat? It seemed that the previous customers were likely all Level One ability users. Luo Yunshi pondered.
"What's the highest ability level right now?!" Luo Yunshi asked the group.
A胖子 looked at the tall stack of boxed meals on the table and gave an embarrassed laugh.
"In Base B, the highest is Level Five, and there's only one person like that. The base leader of H City, Base H, is also Level Five. We've only heard of these two people so far."
"Wow! That's amazing!" Luo Yunshi exclaimed in surprise.
How many boxed meals must those two people eat? Haha.
While Luo Yunshi chatted with the group, she learned a lot of information about the bases.
Meanwhile, Liu Zhenghu, holding his broken arm, excitedly returned to Base B with Zhao Yanchun and Sun Yicheng.
"Cousin! Cousin!" Liu Zhenghu shouted excitedly as he entered the base leader's room.
"Why are you injured? What happened to your arm?" Liu Yuan asked in shock upon seeing Liu Zhenghu's arm.
"Didn't I tell you not to go out and cause trouble? Can't you just be more peaceful?" Liu Yuan reprimanded with a slight frown.
"Cousin, I didn't! Ah, none of that is important. I have good news to tell you!" Liu Zhenghu said excitedly, holding his arm.
"What is it? Whatever it is, it can wait. You need to get your injury treated immediately," Liu Yuan urged.
"Alright! I understand!" Liu Zhenghu nodded.
"Sun Yicheng, quickly take out all the boxed meals."
"Okay!" Sun Yicheng replied.
In an instant, he took out two hundred boxed meals from his spatial storage. The meals were neatly arranged on the floor, with transparent plastic containers allowing a clear view of the dishes inside. The aroma of vegetables, meat, and fruits filled the entire room.
"This? This is a boxed meal?!" Liu Yuan was shocked.
These meals looked far better than those from the base's cafeteria. The vegetables and meat were clearly fresh, and the rice looked good. Unlike the base's food, which was made from old stored grains.
"There are even fresh fruits here!"
"Heh heh, Cousin, how is it? Pretty good, right?" Liu Zhenghu said proudly, wanting to brag about his exploits.
"Enough. Go see to your injury yourself. Zhao Yanchun and Sun Yicheng, you two stay," Liu Yuan waved him away, urging him to leave quickly.
Liu Zhenghu pouted, unwilling to leave without showing off, but he had no choice and left in a huff.
Liu Yuan closed the door and sat in his chair, looking at the two standing individuals.
"Tell me. What's going on?" he said, pointing to the neat rows of warm boxed meals arranged on the floor.
Sun Yicheng looked at Liu Yuan, hesitating for a moment before recounting the entire sequence of events in detail. From Liu Zhenghu being repelled when trying to take a boxed meal, to him firing a gun at Boss Luo, the bullet stopping in mid-air, and then being immobilized and unable to use his abilities. He meticulously described how Boss Luo beat up Liu Zhenghu, Liu Zhenghu's sycophantic attempts to appease her, the point redemption machine that could display a guest's identity, and the replicator that could copy numerous boxed meals. Finally, he described Boss Luo in detail.
After listening, both Zhao Yanchun and Sun Yicheng remained silent, and Liu Yuan also fell into a long, silent contemplation.
Is this... truly something a human can do?! A young woman in her early twenties with such immense power, and a replicator? Items disappearing and reappearing, boxed meals manifesting from thin air? How bizarre!
Liu Yuan was deeply shaken. After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke.
"Since there's no problem with these boxed meals, you, Sun Yicheng, go and deliver them to the cafeteria for everyone to share. Then, come with me to that fast-food restaurant again."
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Sun Yicheng said and turned to leave.
"You, go and summon Ling Qiu, tell him I need him for something, and then you can go back and rest," Liu Yuan said to Zhao Yanchun.
"Base Leader, I'd like to go to the fast-food restaurant too."
Liu Yuan looked at Zhao Yanchun and paused before saying, "Alright, if you want to go, then come along."
"Yes!" Zhao Yanchun replied respectfully and then walked out of the room.
A moment later, there was a knock on Liu Yuan's door.
"Come in," Liu Yuan said.
