Everyone's on a time-travel adventure! I'm raising city beasts in a post-apocalyptic world

The folding table has been set up, just big enough for a few people to sit around. Two metal basins are placed on the table, filled to the brim with food.

One dish of stir-fried wood ear mushrooms with pork, and another dish of stir-fried shiitake mushrooms with pork.

The cured pork was cut into even slices with slightly curled edges, exuding a fragrant aroma. Both dishes were very generous in portion size, piled high.

It seems they listened to Lin Feng's advice and made two big basins of food as instructed.

There was also a large bowl of steaming rice next to it.

"Sir, please try it first." Xiao Qing handed over a pair of chopsticks, her eyes showing a hint of nervousness.

Lin Feng took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of cured meat, and put it in his mouth.

It has a rich, savory flavor and a satisfying chewiness.

"Not bad." Lin Feng nodded.

Upon hearing this, the girls all breathed a sigh of relief.

They stood beside the table, gazing longingly at Lin Feng, their fingers twisting together, and soft swallowing sounds escaping their throats in unison.

Xiao Rui, in particular, was practically drooling; her lips were glistening, and her eyes were glued to the plate of stir-fried wood ear mushrooms and pork. Her little mouth was slightly open; she looked absolutely adorable…

"Please sit down and eat, don't be shy."

The girls exchanged glances, and Xiao Rui was the first to sit down, moving so quickly it was as if she was grabbing a seat. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yu and Xiao Li also sat down.

At first, they maintained a certain reserve and tried to preserve their ladylike image.

But in less than a minute, he couldn't hold back his composure.

Xiao Rui was the first to lose her composure. She picked up a piece of fatty and lean cured meat and stuffed it into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out like a hamster's, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons, and she let out a satisfied sound.

"Mmm...it's so delicious." Xiao Rui ate while shoveling rice into her mouth, her words barely audible.

"I have never eaten such delicious food before."

"Mmm-mmm-mmm!" Xiaoyu nodded frantically beside her, her chopsticks never stopping. "It smells so good!"

The other two women didn't say anything, but their bowls were already empty, and they were getting their second bowls of rice. Of course, they were very considerate and helped Lin Feng get his rice first before getting their own.

Lin Feng watched the girls wolfing down their food and felt a pang of emotion.

Back on Earth, they certainly ate much better. Such meals were at most the kind of ordinary family meals. They were art students, and in the normal world, all they had to do was dress up beautifully every day, and luxury cars would take them to high-end restaurants, have afternoon tea, and eat exquisite cuisine.

But now?

They couldn't even get enough wild vegetables to eat. Although the convoy would distribute food to some vulnerable groups, the food they received each day was only enough to keep them alive.

Now, a meal of white rice and a plate of stir-fried cured meat is heaven.

As she was eating, Xiaoqing suddenly stopped eating. She lowered her head, her shoulders trembled slightly, and a tear slid down her cheek and dripped into her rice bowl.

"What's wrong?" Lin Feng put down his chopsticks and asked, "Is it not good?"

Xiao Qing shook her head, sniffed hard, and her voice was a little choked up.

"No...it's just too delicious...I'm scared..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid I'll never be able to eat such delicious food again."

This statement resonated with the others.

Then it was Xiaoyu's turn. Her nose tingled, and tears streamed down her face. She wiped them away with the back of her hand, but couldn't get them all away...

Xiao Rui's lips trembled, and her eyes filled with tears.

Lin Feng was silent for a few seconds, then picked up his bowl and continued eating.

In the past few days, he had seen too many tears: those who were starving and eating mutated monsters raw, those who died, those who couldn't keep up with the caravan and were abandoned, those who were torn apart by monsters, and those who were bullied by others in the caravan...

In this apocalypse, tears are the cheapest thing. After you've cried, life goes on, and you still have to move forward...

No one will stay, and no one will wait.

"Lord Lin Feng." Xiao Rui suddenly raised her head, wiped away her tears, and said in a very firm tone.

"Can...can I stay by your side?"

Lin Feng didn't stop eating with his chopsticks, but glanced at her.

"I'm very obedient," Xiao Rui's voice trembled with tears. "I can do anything, clean, do laundry, cook. Although I can't cook as well as Sister Xiao Qing, I can learn."

"As long as... as long as I have food to eat every day, I'll do whatever you ask me to do. Really, I'm easy to feed. I'm small and don't eat much..."

As she spoke, she gestured her height, pointing to a very small distance above her head to indicate that she was very easy to raise, her teary eyes making her look extremely pitiful.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu quickly put down her bowl and said eagerly, "Me too! I can make the bed, tidy the house, and even give massages. My mom used to have a bad back, and I often massaged her back. She said I was really good at it!"

Xiao Qing didn't speak, but she looked at Lin Feng with hopeful eyes, her eyes full of anticipation.

The girls' eyes were fixed on Lin Feng, filled with pleading expectations.

Xiaoli's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. She didn't even know if she could stay by Lin Feng's side. Although they had already had an intimate relationship, so what? In the apocalypse, there were many people who abandoned their wives and children, and there were even many men who traded their wives for supplies.

In fact, they all knew in their hearts that if Lin Feng didn't want them, they would have no choice but to go back to Sister Hong's bus.

Is it so easy to get on that bus? The thought of them having to serve so many strange men, some of whom are even crude and have an unpleasant odor, and some of whom might even pervertedly torture them, makes them wonder.

A deep sense of fear welled up in their hearts.

Rather than that, it's better to get the cheaper Lin Feng.

At least he's young, handsome, capable, and generous—you can tell from this meal alone.

Back to Sister Hong's side, their future was destined to be spent on a bus, on a dirty bed, facing one customer after another, until their bodies were exhausted and they were thrown away like garbage.

They're not stupid.

They simply had no choice.

Lin Feng looked at them and remained silent for a long time.

It wasn't that Lin Feng wanted to refuse; he wasn't a good person to begin with. What good person would start slacking off and waiting to die on the very first day of the apocalypse?

When a pretty girl approaches him, he will naturally not refuse. This was the case before the apocalypse, and it will be the same after the apocalypse. In fact, it has become even more extreme. As the saying goes, "He who possesses a weapon will naturally have a murderous heart." If you have the strength but do not know how to enjoy it, aren't you just asking for trouble?

But besides being attracted to beautiful women, he also thought of something else.

Xiao Xuan!

This tortoise is growing bigger and bigger; it's already bigger than a small truck. If it keeps growing at this rate, how big will it eventually be—like a cruise ship, an aircraft carrier, or even bigger...?

With each increase in the size of Xiao Xuan's carapace, a significant amount of space becomes available. In the future, it can be used to build houses, store supplies, grow vegetables, and create an ecosystem. Lin Feng simply cannot manage all of this by himself.

Lin Feng definitely needs to build his own team, keeping a few pretty girls around him. It would be pleasing to the eye and he could also get them to do the work. Why not?

From the moment Sister Hong brought them here, Lin Feng's meaning was clear: I want them all.

Lin Feng's gaze swept over them, and he had to admit that these girls were indeed beautiful. Xiao Rui was cute, Xiao Yu was gentle, and Xiao Qing was capable.

Xiaoli, on the other hand, was pure and elegant, like a newly opened white flower. Especially her extremely slender waist. Lin Feng felt a surge of heat when he thought about how he could see the progress bar undulating slightly just now.

Watching them work will surely be a different sight.
