Ark Undead

The Undead didn't react much; he just patted Kroos's head.

"Go if you want. But be careful."

"Great!"

Kroos's eyes sparkled with delight; in truth, what interested her more than the beer was the barbecue.

Hoshiguma carefully examined the Undead's physique and realized that this renowned knight, after removing his armor, actually looked so... frail?

Just then, the first batch of fish balls was ready. Jie bent down and placed the five bowls that had been divided in front of everyone.

“These are yours, Miss Skadi.”

“Inspector Xiong, Inspector Chen, these are yours.”

He managed to utter a single sentence, which was quite commendable, before returning to silence.

The aroma of the fish balls quickly attracted everyone's attention, and they picked up their chopsticks and began to enjoy the delicious fish balls in front of them.

But less than ten seconds later, Hoshiguma and Chen heard a very energetic voice.

"I want more!"

The two unconsciously turned their heads, and Kroos, who was sitting at the innermost part, raised the empty bowl in his hand and looked at Zi with shining eyes.

These fish balls! They've been approved by Ceobe!

Hoshiguma looked at the several large fish balls still in her bowl with a blank expression, wondering how that girl had managed to do it.

Chen patted Hoshiguma on the shoulder. Hoshiguma turned around and saw that Chen's expression was a little strange.

"Yeah, that guy..."

"Varied?!"

Hoshiguma choked for a moment. During the meeting today, Swire saw that the food expense report submitted by the Guard Bureau was two or three times higher than usual this week.

At that moment, this young lady from a prominent Victorian business family immediately sensed that something was wrong.

She discovered that her expenses from the day before yesterday amounted to the quantity of pork chop rice she would normally consume in a week and a half. She immediately reported this to everyone and asked for a detailed expense report.

Upon receiving the consumption form, Ms. Swire raised an eyebrow and immediately began to lecture her.

According to Swire.

"How could anyone in this world eat so much pork chop rice just to give a statement? If you're going to scam funding, at least come up with a better reason. Do you really think I'm stupid?!"

However, after a moment of silence, Chen approved the funding, almost getting into another argument with Swire.

Later, Chen told Hoshiguma about it privately. Hoshiguma thought it was a bit outrageous at the time, but didn't say much.

She thought Chen had asked for some funds to fund his spies in Longmen.

To my surprise, it actually happened.

At that moment, Hoshiguma sensed a threat.

She had a premonition that something might go wrong with today's fish ball meal.

Sure enough, less than half a minute after the bowl was replenished, that energetic voice rang out again.

"Delicious! I want more!"

Hoshiguma shuddered, turned her head, and whispered to Chen.

"How many pork chop rice bowls did this child eat that day?"

Chen's expression gradually turned serious, and she responded in a low voice.

“The trash can outside the interrogation room had three different trash bags.”

"..."

So, at Hoshiguma's strong suggestion, Jie started taking out all the other ingredients from the insulated room, not just cooking fish balls, but making other dishes, which barely slowed down the rate at which the fish balls were consumed.

With her superhuman physical abilities, Skadi was naturally able to hear Hoshiguma and Chen's conversation.

A slight smile couldn't help but appear on her usually calm and composed face.

Turning his head to look at Kroos, who was constantly talking and never stopped, he couldn't help but reach out and pat the blond, silly dog's head.

The blond, silly dog ​​looked up and stared blankly at the white-haired older sister sitting next to him.

"It's okay, eat up."

Skadi spoke softly, and Kroos lowered her head again with peace of mind and began to eat the fried rice in front of her.

Seeing this, the Undead casually put the fried rice and fish balls that he hadn't eaten in front of him onto Kroos's side.

After cheering, Kroos continued eating.

Kroos's appetite is astonishing, even to the immortals, let alone Hoshiguma and Chen.

However, Hoshiguma also keenly noticed that the Undead had not eaten or drunk anything since entering the store.

So, after finishing most of the food in front of him, Hoshiguma wiped his mouth and turned his gaze from Kroos to the warrior.

Hoshiguma held a beer mug and sipped his beer.

"Mr. Undying, how long have you been in Lungmen?"

Two days.

The Undead had been observing the creature in front of him. Now that someone had spoken to him, he turned his attention back to it.

"Only two days? Are you here for leisure or business?"

Hoshiguma began to communicate with the Undead in the same manner as if she were chatting with a friend.

The immortals must have had a good impression of Hoshiguma, a generous and forthright woman, so he answered directly.

"Come here and get to work."

The immortal turned his head to look at Chen, then looked away.

"But now, everything's fine. I'm just taking a walk."

"Oh, is that so?"

Hoshiguma tossed a fish ball into her mouth, chewed it for a while, and then swallowed the soft and bouncy fish ball with a sip of beer.

What do you think of Lungmen?

She just asked a very ordinary question.

Unexpectedly, the Undead uttered a sentence that made Hoshiguma and Chen stop what they were doing at the same time.

"This place is quite good. It's better for the infected than Victoria and Casimir."

The two officers exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat uneasy about the Undead's words.

In fact, they all knew that the situation of infected people in Lungmen was not good, and the living standards in the slums were still far from those of ordinary people.

Ultimately, these are not decisions they should make; their role is simply to maintain public order as police officers.

I never expected the immortals to focus on this.

Is Lungmen good to those infected? Of course not, as police officers, they know that themselves.

If people were truly treated well, there wouldn't be petty thieves like Ansuo who can only survive by stealing.

The two officers fell silent.

The immortal didn't press further and continued to observe the creature before him.

Jie was naturally able to sense that the guest in front of him seemed to have some interest in him.

For a moment, the entire shop fell into a strange silence.

Chen wanted to say something, but seeing that Hoshiguma was also silent, she suppressed her urge to speak, and simply sighed and shook her head.

Skadi sensed the strange atmosphere, so she simply ate quietly, and also pushed some of the food in front of her into Kroos's bowl next to her.

Skadi and Ceobe were focused on cooking on the left side of the Undead, while Hoshiguma and Chen were preoccupied on the right side.

The Undead, however, focused their gaze on the Jehovah and his hands.

Jie felt that she had never experienced such an awkward atmosphere since she opened the shop.

Skadi was his friend, and together they once killed the Originium monster that appeared in the lake.

Hoshiguma was also a very caring officer to him. The small shop wasn't given much trouble by the Royal Guard, all thanks to Hoshiguma's help.

Jie's mind raced as he tried to find a way out of this predicament.

So he placed the dishes he had prepared in front of the undead and began to speak.

"Boss, aren't you going to eat? The dishes in my restaurant are all pretty good. Do you have any suggestions?"

With his signature deadpan eyes and languid voice, any outsider witnessing this would surely think he was threatening the immortals.

But the Undead obviously didn't feel that way; he shook his head.

"I have no sense of taste."

Upon hearing this, the four people on the left and right simultaneously raised their eyes to look at the immortal in the middle.

The immortal seemed oblivious to everything and continued speaking.

"Because of special reasons, I do not need to eat. I have no sense of taste, therefore, I do not need to eat."

He calmly recounted his situation, unaware of the profound impact his words had on everyone present.

Skadi was stunned for a while before she understood why she had never seen the undead eat.

Meanwhile, Hoshiguma and Chen, who were standing nearby, were hearing about such a guy for the first time.

"That's truly a pity."

Jie took the initiative to speak. As a chef, he naturally loved food. Therefore, he found it hard to imagine what it would feel like if he lost his sense of taste one day.

"Feel sorry."

Feeling empathetic, Jie thought about it for a moment and took the initiative to apologize to the Undead, feeling embarrassed for bringing up the topic.

"No need."

The Undead shook his head; he didn't care at all.
