303: My teammates are a disaster in the kitchen!

There was still some time before the timed bomb exploded, so Jiang Fei went to sit on the yacht's stairs and mentally checked the newly unlocked area of the Supermarket.

If she stayed in the restaurant, Su Liuyuan and Xiao Hua Lao would bother her.

A quarter of the white mist on the 7th floor of the Supermarket had disappeared, revealing 10 extra-long double-sided display shelves.

Eight of the shelves held department store items like storage boxes, storage bags, storage baskets, vacuum bags, kraft paper bags, toiletry bags, shoe brushes, brooms, mops, toilet brushes, squeegees, trash cans, lint rollers, plastic basins, batteries, power strips, hangers, dust covers, neutral pens, correction tapes, scissors, glue sticks, notebooks, double-sided tape, and more.

These included storage and organization supplies, cleaning tools, batteries and power strips, and stationery.

They were also divided into different sizes.

Items like plastic basins and storage bags came in mini, small, medium, large, and extra-large sizes.

The other two shelves contained tableware and drinkware such as spoons, cups, chopsticks, plates, bowls, rice scoops, cold water pitchers, fresh-keeping boxes, heat insulation pads, trays, stainless steel divided plates, fruit plates, thermos bottles, and lunchboxes.

Jiang Fei noticed that all the bowls, dishes, and plates from the Supermarket were plain white porcelain.

Aside from different sizes, they had no patterns.

The chopsticks were also only made of safe wood and bamboo materials.

There would be no shortage of tableware in the future.

“System, I want to use the Lucky Roulette.”

Click, click—

After the familiar eerie music ended.

【Ding—The host is so unlucky the system is speechless, obtaining “Obtain Discount Coupon”】

【Small tip: The host can use this discount coupon to reduce the amount of gold required to unlock the next area, and re-double the amount】

Who exactly is unlucky?!

“Use discount coupon.”

【Ding—Discount coupon used successfully!】

【Gold required to unlock 7th floor, second area: 33,554,432 grams】

【Current unlock progress: 27%】

Even with a zero less, Jiang Fei couldn't be happy.

With seawater everywhere, where would she find so much gold?

Suddenly, the yacht shook violently.

“Holy crap!”

It was Su Liuyuan’s voice.

Jiang Fei went to check.

Layers of waves surged towards the yacht.

The direction of Country R was filled with towering flames, and if one ignored the mushroom cloud, it looked very much like a beautiful, vibrant sunset.

Lu Yu asked Jiang Fei, “How’s this viewing spot?”

“We can stand on the deck and watch Country R explode.”

“Not bad.” Jiang Fei gave Lu Yu a thumbs up.

Su Liuyuan, Xiao Chuxia, and Mu Qingzhou were dumbfounded.

“Captain, the fireworks you mentioned... did you and Brother Lu blow up Country R?”

Jiang Fei hummed in affirmation, “Does it look good?”

“It has to look good!”

Su Liuyuan spread his arms and took a deep breath, “The air feels fresh.”

Xiao Chuxia: “That place should have been blown up long ago.”

“Without those scoundrels, how would the ocean have been polluted?”

Mu Qingzhou strongly agreed with Su Liuyuan and Xiao Chuxia: “Without Country R, the world would only be better.”

To prevent Country R’s volcano from erupting due to the explosion, Lu Yu watched for a few minutes, then returned to the cockpit to speed up the boat.

Once they had completely left the waters of Country R, everyone took off their nuclear radiation protective suits.

After rinsing the protective suits with a large amount of clean water, they were sent to the yacht’s study.

Jiang Fei had already converted this into an isolation room for nuclear radiation protective gear.

Closing the door, Jiang Fei returned upstairs and secretly released Big Yellow and Little Black.

Su Liuyuan and Xiao Chuxia played with the two cubs while she went to the kitchen to make dinner.

Today, a new area was unlocked, and Country R was blown up, so they had to celebrate.

As usual, everyone's favorite hotpot.

This time, it was Tom Yum Goong seafood soup base.

The ingredients included mushrooms, fresh shrimp, crab, bamboo shoots, beef, seaweed, conch, abalone, and more.

In addition, Jiang Fei also planned to make two cooked seafood dishes to go with drinks.

She took out crayfish and clams, and was about to clean them when Mu Qingzhou entered.

“Miss Jiang, I’m here to help you.”

When he saw the table full of seafood, Mu Qingzhou paused.

Thinking Jiang Fei had caught them in the sea, Mu Qingzhou spoke tactfully: “These... seafood are contaminated, it’s better to eat less.”

“If you’re scared, you can just eat the side dishes.”

She couldn’t possibly explain the Supermarket to Mu Qingzhou.

Whether he ate it or not was none of her business.

It was enough that her teammates liked to eat it.

Mu Qingzhou stopped talking, and was about to go over to help, but someone was faster than him.

Lu Yu picked up the brush for scrubbing crayfish on the table: “I’ve got this, you go back to your room and rest.”

“Then I’ll mop the deck.” Mu Qingzhou didn't stay idle either and went to find something to do.

After he left, Lu Yu sat on a small stool scrubbing crayfish, and Jiang Fei was responsible for cleaning the clams.

Afterward, the two of them peeled a large bowl of garlic and mashed it into minced garlic.

Jiang Fei poured an appropriate amount of oil into the pot.

When the oil heated up, she first added half of the minced garlic to sauté until fragrant.

Immediately after, she poured in the cleaned crayfish.

Watching Jiang Fei skillfully stir-fry, Lu Yu had a sudden thought: “Can you teach me how to cook?”

His neighbor had always cooked for him.

He also wanted to cook a meal for his neighbor.

“Sure, you watch how I do it, and then you can cook the second batch.”

Jiang Fei taught Lu Yu as she cooked.

More than ten minutes later, the garlic crayfish was ready.

“Did you remember all the steps and what seasonings to add?”

Lu Yu nodded confidently.

Trusting Lu Yu’s learning ability, Jiang Fei went to the other stove to make spicy stir-fried clams.

After finishing, she poured them onto a plate, and suddenly smelled a faint burnt odor, turning her head in confusion.

Lu Yu quickly covered the pot, smiling gently like jade: “What’s wrong?”

“Didn’t you smell something burnt?”

“No.”

Jiang Fei suspiciously stared at Lu Yu: “Let me see what you made.”

Saying that, Jiang Fei walked over and lifted the lid.

The crayfish, which should have been bright red, were half burnt.

The minced garlic in the pot was also completely charred.

“I was afraid the crayfish wouldn’t be cooked through, so I wanted to stir-fry them longer over high heat, but I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.”

Lu Yu looked at her innocently.

Jiang Fei sighed: “To burn crayfish... I finally understand which window Heaven closed for you.”

“Stay away from the stove from now on.”

Teammates are a kitchen disaster!

“Okay.” Lu Yu obediently sat back on the small stool, cleaning a new batch of crayfish.

Meanwhile, outside.

Su Liuyuan, who had seen everything through the restaurant window, whispered to Xiao Chuxia: “Have you noticed that every time Lu Yu is alone with Captain, they have a feeling of an old married couple?”

Xiao Chuxia, who usually supported Jiang Fei's solo beauty, was a little swayed.

After all, the sight of them together was truly pleasing to the eye, and the atmosphere between them was very relaxed and warm.

Shipping them felt surprisingly sweet.

Xiao Chuxia lowered her voice and gossiped with Su Liuyuan: “What do you think, whose child will their future child resemble more?”

Su Liuyuan: “...You’re thinking much further ahead than me.”

He hadn't even thought about the Captain and his brother’s child!

The two chatted softly.

Until Jiang Fei came out and called them to the restaurant for dinner.

Mu Qingzhou didn't dare to eat the seafood on the table, but he couldn't resist the tempting aroma, and eventually put on disposable gloves and peeled a crayfish.

Sucking on the crayfish, he thought to himself.

One less day to live.

—

Half a month passed in a flash, and Mu Qingzhou’s leg injury finally healed.

He had learned how to ride a jet ski before, and sometimes he would take turns with Xiao Chuxia, following Su Liuyuan to search for acquaintances outside.

But on the sea, there were only bloated corpses, and not a single living person could be found.

The three of them also hadn't discovered any new land.

If they hadn't been to Country R before, everyone would have thought the world had been completely submerged by the sea.

Only the sun above remained eternally bright and dazzling.

Unconsciously, New Year arrived.

Jiang Fei made a large table of delicious food and also wrapped two kinds of dumplings.

One was chive, sea cucumber, and shrimp filling.

The other was beef and carrot, which Big Yellow and Little Black could eat.

After wrapping both kinds of dumplings, they were mixed together and boiled.

Having the experience of eating dumplings last year, Jiang Fei put a total of 20 diamonds in them this year.

She refused to believe Su Liuyuan still wouldn't find one this year.

Su Liuyuan was the first to pick up his chopsticks and grab a dumpling, hoping to find a diamond inside.

As he ate, his movements slowed down.

“Last New Year, we put up couplets and made dumplings together at the Safety Shelter, Grandma Xu and Captain Xu were also there, everyone was laughing and chatting, it was so lively.”

“This New Year, it’s just the five of us with Big Yellow and Little Black, and Zhao Rui and the others are missing...”

“We will definitely find them.” Xiao Chuxia comforted the dejected Su Liuyuan, then raised her glass.

“I hope in the third year of the apocalypse, we can all be safe and sound, and successfully reunite with Uncle Jiang and the others! Cheers!”

As soon as she finished speaking, bang—!

A gunshot rang out from outside.

Accompanied by a sentence in English.

Jiang Fei and the others all understood, the other party meant—

“Stop the boat immediately!”
