Cooking Gourmet Meals in the Apocalypse
Chapter 332 - 330: These Women Are Truly Something Else
Chapter 332: Chapter 330: These Women Are Truly Something Else
The woman moved quickly, frantically rushing through the warehouse area before continuing to run.
Past the iron cages was a hallway, and at the end of the hallway was a staircase.
The woman didn’t even stop to catch her breath. She ran straight to the second floor, threw open a door, and shouted, "They’re all dead..."
Inside the room, a dozen or so women all turned their heads in unison to look at her.
"Those man-eating monsters who captured us are all dead!" the woman’s voice was filled with frantic bewilderment.
"How could that be?" Clearly, the other women didn’t believe her.
"It’s true! I don’t know who killed them!"
Just then, Chen Xing, who had already revealed herself, walked in behind the woman. "I killed them."
Including the woman who had just seen the gruesome scene, they all stared at Chen Xing.
The women stopped what they were doing, looking at Chen Xing with a mixture of shock and disbelief.
But Chen Xing’s attention was fixed on the food they were cooking... meat!
Four women stood by the stove, each one frying meat in two separate pans.
Seemingly an expert at reading people, one woman asked when she saw Chen Xing looking at the meat, "Are you hungry?"
Chen Xing didn’t answer. Her gaze lowered, and she saw the heavy iron chains shackled to each of their ankles.
"Just a moment, the fried meat is almost ready!" After that, she stopped caring about the men’s deaths and went back to frying the meat.
And so... the remaining women who were frying meat continued to fry meat.
Two other women thanked Chen Xing for rescuing them and offered her a cup of water.
"You’re welcome." ’But am I the type to just drink water from anyone?’
She took the cup and casually placed it on the table.
"Were you captured by them?" Chen Xing asked, glancing at their ankles.
The women nodded, looking somewhat aggrieved. "Those animals captured us to be their slaves. During the day, we cook and clean for them, and at night, they force us to sleep with them!"
"We’re all just helpless women, with no strength to fight back. We had no choice but to become their slaves!"
She said this with tears streaming down her face.
"Thank you so much. Without you, we would have been their slaves for the rest of our lives!" As she spoke, the woman sitting next to Chen Xing reached for her hand.
Chen Xing pretended to be curiously looking around the room, standing up to avoid the touch. "The environment here isn’t half bad!"
"This town is so big, and the few of us have to clean it every day. If we don’t, we get a vicious beating!"
"Oh! That sounds pretty miserable!"
"Benefactor, your fried meat is ready!" a woman said, placing the cooked meat on the table and waiting for Chen Xing to come over.
Chen Xing glanced at the perfectly cooked meat. "My friends are still locked up. I can’t eat by myself!"
"I’ll go let them out right now. You go ahead and eat!" one woman said considerately. She then pulled a ring of keys from a drawer and walked toward the door.
Chen Xing scoffed inwardly.
’These women really are something else!’
She had originally thought those crude men were the bandits, but she never imagined the masterminds were actually these women.
Her suspicions had been raised when she saw the woman in chains running as if she were flying.
As for the chains, they were just a prop to confuse people.
Seeing that Chen Xing wasn’t touching the meat, the women thought she suspected something was wrong with it, so two of them started eating first.
Watching them eat with such relish, a wave of nausea rose in Chen Xing’s throat.
This meat was clearly not from an animal.
When she entered the room, she had seen a human arm lying near the frying pans.
Unable to bear it any longer, Chen Xing acted on a thought, instantly absorbing the superpowers of all dozen or so women in the room.
Only after absorbing them did she realize just how powerful these women were.
At the very least, they were two levels higher than the men outside.
One by one, the women collapsed weakly to the floor.
Chen Xing didn’t hold back, nor did she bother asking questions. She finished them off cleanly.
She hadn’t originally intended to kill these women, but seeing how skillfully they ate human flesh, she knew that leaving them alive would only create more trouble.
Just then, the woman who had gone out returned. "I’ve already released them..." She stopped mid-sentence when she saw the carnage inside.
Sensing something was wrong, she condensed her superpower in her hand and launched it at Chen Xing.
A Fire Attribute Superpower User!
Judging from the pillar of fire, she had to be at the Seventh Level.
Not only did Chen Xing not dodge, she absorbed the pillar of fire completely. Then, she absorbed the woman’s superpower as well.
At the same time, she lunged forward, the tip of her blade slicing across the woman’s neck.
With everything done, Chen Xing went downstairs without a backward glance.
She didn’t believe for a second that the woman had actually released her friends.
Sure enough, when she returned to the iron cages, Song Yiguo and the others were still inside.
Chen Xing opened the door. "There’s a warehouse full of supplies over there!"
Song Yiguo understood perfectly. She had taken care of everyone.
But... their superpowers hadn’t returned. They couldn’t carry away that many supplies.
"Drink some more water!" Chen Xing naturally understood his concern and handed over a few more bottles of spring water.
Song Yiguo, Vice General Du: "..." ’Why does this feel like she’s placating a child?’
Before long, Song Yiguo was the first to realize his superpower had returned.
Then Vice General Du, and after that, everyone else’s superpowers returned one by one.
The group didn’t bother to check outside. They collected all the useful supplies from the warehouse and went to the first floor.
However, since the Space Ability User’s space was limited, Chen Xing helped store a portion of it.
Just as they got from the basement to the first floor, they saw numerous groups gathered outside the town through a window.
It didn’t look like a single team, but many separate ones.
"Here for you, I assume?" Song Yiguo shot a glance at Chen Xing.
At this point, most people who could track them here would be after Chen Xing.
Her possession of multiple superpowers was a major draw.
What he didn’t know was that the news about Chen Xing’s amazing Green Gemstone Jewelry had already been spread by Luo Gen.
That wily old fox had a contingency plan: if he were to die suddenly, his wife was to immediately spread the word about the Black Cat Space.
And so, the moment he died, the news got out.
And all the major figures from various countries who had been staying in Hulton City came running.
Chen Xing: "..." ’Looks like it.’
She knew at this point that most of her secrets were probably no longer secrets. But... she didn’t know how much had been revealed.
At the very least, no one knew about her original space or the Jiezhi Space.
The Black Cat Space was definitely no longer a secret. Now all that was left was the house space... she didn’t know if word had gotten out about that.
In truth... no one knew about the house space.
Cadar hadn’t had the bracelet for long, and since all she saw inside was a dilapidated house, she hadn’t told her parents about it yet.
"Our trucks are outside. They know we’re here!" Vice General Du sounded pained about the military trucks.
These trucks were no longer in production, and their group wasn’t exactly wealthy.
"I’ll go get them!" Chen Xing flickered out of the building.
A moment later, Song Yiguo and the others saw the massive trucks simply disappear.
Even though they had witnessed a Space Ability before... they had never seen someone store something as large as a truck.
"Right before coming to the United States, I had just cleared out the livestock and poultry in my space, so there’s plenty of room!" A few seconds later, Chen Xing reappeared.
This whole mess was basically her fault for dragging Song Yiguo into it.
She had to minimize his losses as much as possible. Besides, without the trucks, it would be inconvenient to get to the airport.
Watching Chen Xing’s incredible feat, Song Yiguo and Vice General Du made a silent vow. ’No matter how hard things get, we have to stick close to this powerhouse. Yes!’
