I lay low and gave up, but my servants were caught in a cycle of life and death.

"Xiao Jin, bring out three boxes of self-heating rice."

Of all things, nothing is more important than eating.

Lu Yan then turned to Xiao Li and instructed her, "Add some water to the self-heating rice container."

In the original owner's memory, on the first day of the apocalypse, he woke up to a barrage of text messages from the government, repeatedly warning everyone not to drink tap water.

Countless normal people have become zombies after drinking tap water, which allowed the virus to enter their bodies.

Therefore, at this stage, the only water available to everyone is commercially available purified water, mineral water, or water condensed by water-type ability users.

Lu Yan leaned against the car door, looking at the self-heating rice on the back of the car with some dissatisfaction.

At that moment, he wanted a table and a chair.

"Hey, do you have any tables and chairs in your convenience store? Could you bring some over?"

The lively discussion came to an abrupt halt. Looking at Lu Yan's matter-of-fact expression as he waited to be served, and glancing at the menacing kitchen knife beside him and the eerily quiet little zombie, no one dared to utter a word of dissent.

The young man in the lead was the first to recover, "Yes, yes! Please wait a moment! Old Zhou, lend a hand."

A kind-looking man responded, and the two went into the convenience store. They quickly brought out a folding table and three plastic stools and placed them on the open ground next to the Maybach.

Lin Ruojin and Lin Ruohua, siblings, were very observant and tried to bring the self-heating rice from the back of the car to the table, but they burned their hands.

The siblings dared not knock over the lunchbox, and despite the heat, they brought it to the table intact.

Seeing the siblings rubbing their hands together, Lu Yan realized that the heating pack for the self-heating rice was extremely hot at that moment.

"Xiao Li, run them some water to rinse their hands."

"You two are so clumsy. You could have gotten it later or asked Xiaoli to help you. What if you hurt yourselves and can't work?"

"Yes, Master!"

Xiao Li raised her hands, gathering water elements in her palms. The next second, streams of clear water flowed from her palms like water taps.

Lin Ruojin's face flushed red. Not daring to waste any time, she rinsed her hands while expressing her sincerity, "Boss, we were wrong. We'll never hurt ourselves again and affect our work!"

Lin Ruohua said, "Boss, even if I'm injured, I'll definitely work hard for you!"

The people at the gas station looked at each other in surprise. They had thought the two children were Lu Yan's younger brother, sister, or other relatives. But the two children were calling him "boss."

Lu Yan also washed his hands, shook off the water droplets, and sat down on the stool casually.

The self-heating rice is steaming hot, and the aroma of braised pork begins to spread.

"Wow, it smells like braised pork."

The little figure on the surface of the cleaver has a somewhat intoxicated expression.

When it was still a regular kitchen knife, it cut a lot of pork.

The little girl sniffed, "Waaah, why can't I smell anything?"

The people at the gas station unconsciously swallowed.

The self-heating rice at the convenience store was long gone, and the instant noodles were almost empty. Even if Lu Yan didn't come today, they wouldn't last long in the convenience store.

Lu Yan said to the siblings, "Come and sit down to eat with us."

The siblings hesitated, glancing at the other people at the gas station, but didn't move.

Lu Yan gently tapped the table. "Sit down. We agreed on room and board."

"Thank you, boss!"

The siblings were respectful and cheerful as they sat on two other stools. Only after Lu Yan lifted the lid and began to eat did they start scooping rice with spoons.

The cleaver flew over slowly, as if to say, "Master, Master, when will you let me cut another plate of pork?"

Lu Yan glanced at it, "Don't force me to slap you while I'm eating."

If you use a cleaver covered in zombie brains to cut pork, how can the pork still be eaten?!

The thought of that scene made Lu Yan feel so nauseous that he almost couldn't eat.

"Oh." The kitchen knife floated away again, looking dejected.

After finishing his meal and drinking the seaweed soup that came with the self-heating rice, Lu Yan patted his stomach and felt that he could eat another box.

Never mind, I'm in a hurry.

We need to get to the car market today and get Lao Hei to take over a campervan.

In this way, we'll not only have a bed to sleep in, but also a kitchen to cook in.

"Xiao Li, put these tables and chairs away."

Until we find more comfortable tables and chairs, we'll have to make do with what we have.

That's right! The sofas and furniture in luxury car brand dealerships should be pretty good. I'll buy a few sets to use later!

Seeing that Lu Yan had finished eating, the gas station staff sped up the process of moving supplies, packed up the three cars, and prepared to follow Lu Yan later.

Lu Yan looked at them, stroked his chin, and said, "I have a part-time job here, I don't know if you guys would like it."

Everyone asked curiously, "What kind of part-time job?"

"In a little while, my cleaver will kill a lot of zombies and I'll collect a lot of crystal cores. You can help me collect them. For every 10 crystal cores you collect, I'll pay you 1 crystal core as payment."

The two children spent half the morning, several hours, collecting crystal cores. In the afternoon, let them rest.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruojin and Lin Ruohua said anxiously, "Boss, we can finish picking them all!"

All they can do now is help Lu Yan collect crystal cores. If he doesn't even need their help to collect crystal cores, then what use are they?

The staff at the gas station quickly said, "Kids, you're too slow picking them up. We'll help you, it'll be faster. Boss, we'll take the job!"

Lin Ruojin and Lin Ruohua were so anxious they were almost in tears. "We're so capable!"

Lu Yan waved his hand, "I don't exploit child labor. You can rest in the car with me this afternoon. Don't worry, you are long-term workers, and they are short-term workers. I promised to provide you with food and lodging, and I won't go back on my word."

Lin Ruojin bit her lip, her eyes were red, and her heart was pounding.

She originally thought that Lu Yan, who killed people in the square, was a cold-blooded, ruthless, and profit-driven person. Unexpectedly, he saved her and is now so good to her and her brother!

Lin Ruohua's admiration for Lu Yan has now turned into gratitude and affection. He secretly vowed that he would follow his boss for the rest of his life!

Lu Yan took the siblings into the car and threw them a few crystal cores rich in supernatural abilities, to see if they could absorb them and awaken their supernatural abilities.

"Whoosh! Let's get started! Watch me slice these zombies into pieces one by one!"

He can't cut pork, he cuts zombies!

The cleaver, seething with anger, channeled his fury into power. A flash of white light, and the heads of zombies floated up.

Xiao Li roared and transformed back into a three-meter-tall giant, waving her hand to fling away a car blocking her way.

Old Black emitted a black light that spread and devoured the zombie corpses on the ground, leaving only mottled bloodstains and crystal cores.

Lu Yan then discovered that Old Hei actually had this automatic sorting function.

The windshield reflected the smiling features of the old black man. "Sorting for my master is my duty."

Lu Yan laughed and said, "Old Hei, do you know what a corn harvester is? It swallows the whole corn stalk and can automatically sort and thresh the kernels."

"You're still far from that. You should swallow the whole zombie and then automatically spit its crystal cores into the trunk. Then I wouldn't need to hire someone to collect the crystal cores one by one for me."

Old Black was ashamed. "Master, Old Black will continue to study and evolve."

"No rush, it's okay if we can't learn it. At worst, we'll just swallow a harvester."

The people at the gas station couldn't hear Lu Yan and Lao Hei's conversation, but the scene before them left them speechless and trembling.

The young man who had previously challenged Lu Yan was now drenched in sweat.

How could he have dared to do that before?!

"Hey! What are you all standing there for? Aren't you going to collect the crystal cores? I'm telling you, I'm counting them, not a single one can be missing!"

The cleaver flew over the heads of everyone at the gas station, said something, and then flew away.
