Chapter 1437 - 1437: Boiled Dumplings

Lu Yao knocked down Xiao Feng. Even with just a simple thought, there's no way the Gray Rat could miss such a great opportunity to break through.

Though very reluctant, Xiao Feng had to shout loudly, "Stay alert, the rat's making a run for it!"

Upon hearing this, Hui Yi and the others felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

After a moment of hesitation, the group decided to painfully give up the advantage they had gained, gather together, and enter a defensive stance.

Of course, except for Lu Lishuang.

At this moment, she looked at the group huddled together, pouted, and said, "A bunch of cowards, let me show you what courage really is today!"

With that, she charged alone towards the Devil's Concentration Camp's encampment.

Hui Yi and the others looked at each other, not feeling particularly embarrassed or inferior, nor did they think Lu Lishuang's behavior was particularly brave.

There is a fundamental difference between recklessness and bravery.

"Brother Yanhuang, I, I... I've embarrassed you too," Lu Yao, lying on top of Xiao Feng, said softly.

Her tone was full of guilt.

Xiao Feng reached out to hold Lu Yao's head, letting her face rest on his chest.

After a moment, he laughed, "This isn't the time to talk about this, get up first, find an opportunity to help, that's what's right."

"Oh, okay." Lu Yao blushed and quickly got off Xiao Feng.

Then, she reached out to pull Xiao Feng up as well.

Seeing the people regrouping, Xiao Feng knew that the Gray Rat had already cast a shadow over them.

Of course, to be objective, the Gray Rat does have this ability, it's not so hard to understand.

By this time, the Gray Rat was nowhere to be seen in the yard.

With the sudden stop of the fight, a strange silence fell over the courtyard.

The fact proves that experts can be either talkative or reticent.

Since the Gray Rat appeared, he had said only a handful of words.

Yet he had, through his actions, ensured that no one dared to underestimate him, even faintly becoming a key figure who could influence the course of the battle!

As time ticked by second by second, most people caught their breath, but the Gray Rat still showed no intention of revealing himself.

Xiao Feng pondered for a bit and soon understood.

For someone like the Gray Rat, who specializes in speed, a sustained fight is most feared.

Now that there were too many people grouped together, if he acted rashly, he would be besieged and unable to escape.

So, the Gray Rat was clearly waiting for an opportunity.

Realizing this, Xiao Feng glanced towards the direction of the Devil's Concentration Camp and noticed that they had no intention to make a move yet. His eyes darted as he said, "Is anyone hungry?"

"..."

The already silent courtyard became even quieter after Xiao Feng's question.

Boss, you still have the leisure to think about eating now, are you sure you're not just messing around?

However, the honest Tiewa, upon hearing the word "hungry," immediately had his stomach growling.

He hesitated for a moment and still raised his hand, saying, "Brother Xiao Feng, I'm hungry."

"Alright, Tiewa counts as one, who else?"

Watching as the atmosphere grew colder and more awkward, Wang Laoha stepped in to support: "Boss, I'm hungry too."

"Alright, Laoha counts as one too, anyone else?"

Realizing something was off, everyone exchanged glances and all raised their hands to indicate they were hungry.

Xiao Feng nodded with satisfaction, "Just a moment, I'll go make you some dumplings."

With that, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Laoha instinctively took a couple of steps forward and blurted out, "Boss, for such a small thing, do you really need to personally..."

Halfway through his words, he could no longer continue.

Obviously, he had also realized, what if the Gray Rat launched a sneak attack while making dumplings?

Although he hadn't personally suffered under the Gray Rat, Laoha knew enough just by observing the reactions and various degrees of injuries of those around.

Thinking about it, Laoha obediently shut his mouth and returned to his position.

At this moment, Lu Lishuang was being chased up and down by the Demon Suppression Action Team, yet she seemed to be tireless, fighting with great energy.

Xue Nuofu was truly out of temper, feeling that Lu Lishuang was even tougher than a cockroach, her endurance simply unmatched!

However, even more surprisingly, the Gray Rat had never made a move to ambush Lu Lishuang.

This made Du Qingyue and the others faintly worried, had the Gray Rat gone over to Xiao Feng's side?

Did Xiao Feng really just go to make dumplings?

The answer soon emerged...

"Come and eat while it's hot, there's more if it's not enough!" Xiao Feng appeared in everyone's sight, pushing a food cart.

Looking at the large steaming pot with a diameter of about a meter on the cart, everyone was dumbfounded.

He actually… actually went to make dumplings?

In the distance, Tiewa took a deep breath, and drool uncontrollably trickled down the corner of his mouth.

"Tiewa, can't you show some pride?" Lone Wolf said with no small amount of irritation.

Xiao Feng pulled out bowls from under the food cart and scooped the dumplings with a slotted spoon, saying, "Eat in turns, five people at a time.

Tiewa and Laoha, you two were the first to speak up, come eat first."

The two quickly agreed, Tiewa having not thought too much about it, though Laoha was somewhat puzzled.

What was Boss intending with all this?

Little did he know, Xiao Feng really had no great purpose, his main aim was merely to make the Devil's Concentration Camp envious.

The secondary purpose was to see if he could create discord among them.

As long as there was no melee, the Gray Rat was practically useless, unable to exert any influence.

And the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous the situation became for the Devil's Concentration Camp, a test to see who would break first.

"Tiewa, is it tasty?" Xiao Feng asked.

"Tasty!" Tiewa replied with a silly grin, his mouth oily, "I've never had dumplings this delicious in my life!"

"Laoha, is it tasty?" Xiao Feng asked, looking at Laoha.

Laoha quickly put down his chopsticks and replied, "Boss, the dumpling filling is truly impeccable. If there weren't others waiting, I could eat five or six bowls by myself."

So, for everyone lining up for dumplings afterwards, Xiao Feng would perfunctorily ask, "Is it tasty?"

In no time, the pot of dumplings was gone, and Xiao Feng, pushing the cart, smiled and said, "I'll make another pot, no need to rush, everyone."

Everyone unwittingly slanted their mouths and squinted eyes, had he gotten addicted to making dumplings?

However, at this moment, the Gray Rat's voice of cursing appeared, "You bunch of idiots, are you going to keep dragging this on?"

In the gathered crowd of the Devil's Concentration Camp, a woman who had originally been smiling charmingly now glared coldly and said, "Who are you calling idiots?"

"Am I wrong?" The Gray Rat's figure appeared beside her, bursting with anger, "You're unrepentant, if I didn't say anything, would you just keep watching?"

A cold glint flashed in the woman's eyes as she said, "Gray Rat, do you think I'm scared of you?"

"If I had a choice, I really wouldn't bother staying with you idiots!" The Gray Rat barked angrily.
