Chapter 31: Give Me All the Pork Fat!
"Boss Ling, let me do it!"
A slightly burly man walked over, took one look at the wild boar on the ground, and his eyes were filled with excitement.
"Alright!"
"I want to help too!" Lee Ji-eun trotted over gleefully.
"Don't make trouble, stand aside and watch." He raised a hand to push away Lee Ji-eun's small face, looking extremely helpless.
At this moment, Li Bingbing walked over, reached out to pinch Lee Ji-eun's ear, and gently pulled her aside. "Be good and stay on the side."
"Ow~ It hurts, hurts, hurts~ Sister Bing, I was wrong."
Lee Ji-eun used both hands to hold the hand pinching her ear and decisively started begging for mercy.
"Stand properly on the side," Li Bingbing said before pulling the former to stand aside.
Retracting his gaze, Ling Feng picked up the wild boar and walked down the dirt slope toward the riverside under the bridge, closely followed by the man who knew how to slaughter pigs.
Li Bingbing also let go of Lee Ji-eun's ear and smiled at Hye-young, who looked a bit introverted nearby. "Let's go down and take a look together."
"O-Okay, Sister Bing." Hye-young was still a bit afraid of Sister Bing; the aura exuding from her was simply too strong.
Li Bingbing felt quite helpless too. Since she was the oldest among the three women, she definitely had to shoulder the responsibility of being the matriarch. Lee Ji-eun was just an immature little girl; although she wasn't steady, fortunately she was obedient.
Hye-young was a bit more troublesome. Being a train attendant, logically she should be quite confident, but for some unknown reason, she was a bit introverted and shy, not daring to proactively bring up anything. This simply wouldn't do; in the future, they wouldn't just be Ling Feng's women, they also had to be his capable assistants.
Hye-young's personality had to be reversed as soon as possible to boost her confidence.
Thinking of this, Li Bingbing slowed her steps, came to Hye-young's side, and said in a low voice, "If you don't want to just be a dispensable vase by Ling Feng's side, you have to work hard. I heard you're a train attendant, so you should have interacted with all kinds of people."
"Logically speaking, your job shouldn't make you this lacking in confidence. What are you afraid of?"
Li Bingbing glanced sideways at Hye-young, wanting to know her thoughts or the reason behind it.
Hye-young didn't expect Sister Bing to bring this up with her, but after taking a deep breath, she said, "Oppa is a champion, Sister Bing and Lee Ji-eun are big stars, and I'm just an ordinary train attendant. I..."
Li Bingbing added, "Feeling a bit inferior?"
"Yeah..."
"Phew, I thought something was up. What do you have to feel inferior about? That's all in the past. Now everyone has only one identity, and that is a survivor! If we really count it, we are still Ling Feng's women."
"Forget your previous identity; everyone is the same. Besides, we'll be 'comrades-in-arms' in the future, won't we?"
At the mention of the word comrades-in-arms, even Li Bingbing's face couldn't help turning red. These comrades-in-arms weren't quite those comrades-in-arms...
Hye-young's face flushed red and felt burning hot, but she still spoke up, "I will work hard to change!"
"That's right, we're all family here, no need to hide anything. Didn't Ling Feng say not to bottle things up inside?"
Patting Hye-young on the shoulder, Li Bingbing smiled with the corners of her mouth turned up. As they were all Ling Feng's women, she wouldn't deliberately try to prove that she was the legitimate wife or anything of the sort. Instead, she genuinely and attentively helped Ling Fengmaintain the relationship among the four of them.
Reaching the riverside, two middle-aged men holding fishing rods were sitting upstream fishing with faces full of happiness, completely unexpected that after the apocalypse arrived they could still continue being avid fishermen. When they heard the commotion, they also saw Ling Feng carrying the wild boar and placing it by the riverbank.
Ling Feng squatted down and easily snapped the wild boar's neck with a pinch, stripped away all the spider silk on its body, handed the knife to the man nearby, and said, "You do it!"
"Alright, Boss Ling!"
Seeing this, the man took the knife, squatted down, and stabbed it straight into the wild boar's neck to start bleeding it. Bright red pig blood flowed down the river and quickly dyed a significant portion of the downstream river water red.
Turning his head, Ling Feng saw that Lee Ji-eun, whose eyes were full of curiosity, had already crowded close to his head, watching unblinkingly without a trace of fear.
He was a bit confused; was this girl actually bold or timid?
Tilting his head effortlessly, he kissed her on her little cheek, feeling that it was quite nice, and directly opened his mouth to bite down. The soft and tender tactile sensation was simply fantastic.
Letting go, Ling Feng looked at the shallow tooth marks and plenty of saliva on Lee Ji-eun's cheek and laughed happily.
"Mph~" Lee Ji-eun raised a hand to wipe her cheek, staring unhappily at Ling Feng without saying anything, but the action of looking at his face exposed her thoughts.
She directly tilted her head and reached forward.
Lee Ji-eun's pretty eyes revealed a fox-like craftiness, and her little mouth bit right back.
"Did you see that? This is how we get along when we're all together, there's no need to worry about anything." Li Bingbing at the side looked at Hye-young and smiled in explanation.
Mostly because Ling Feng spoiled them and let them act according to their nature.
Hye-young enviously watched the interactions between Oppa and Zhien, incomparably missing the time when they enjoyed exclusive pampering back in that world.
Hye-young, you can do it, gain some confidence! Sister Bing and the others are really nice people! Thinking this, she cheered herself up in her heart.
After Ling Feng and Lee Ji-eun bantered for a while, the man had already extremely quickly split the entire wild boar into two halves.
"Sister Bing, go up and call two people down to help move the meat, and bring down some cauldrons."
"Okay."
Ling Feng turned his head to look at the man and said, "Keep all of its leaf fat, don't throw it away, I have a use for it!"
The man had just dissected the wild boar and was holding the pig's terrifyingly massive chunk of leaf fat, preparing to throw it into the river, when Ling Feng spoke up to stop him.
"Boss Ling, this stuff isn't edible..." The man thought the boss wasn't clear about it and still spoke up to remind him.
"No need, I know!" Ling Feng's gaze remained fixed on that huge chunk of leaf fat; out of the whole pig, this was what he wanted the most!
He didn't blame these people for not understanding the value of this stuff; he would have enough to eat by himself. Once the lard was rendered, it would be enough for him and his women to eat.
Soon, Li Bingbing brought a few people down to help, and she was holding a large iron pot in her hands.
"Here, use this to render it!"
As someone from Long Country, how could Li Bingbing not know what Ling Feng wanted to do? She wasn't very used to eating olive oil anyway; lard smelled much better.
"As expected of you, Sister Bing!" Ling Feng raised a hand to give a thumbs-up, took the large iron pot, turned around to hand it to the pig-slaughtering man, and said,
"Put all this leaf fat into the pot!"
"Alright, Boss."
Why were the boss's hobbies so weird? Could this thing really be eaten?
The man looked curiously at the pot of leaf fat that Ling Feng had brought over.
Standing up, Ling Feng carried the large pot of leaf fat and said, "Divide the meat, clean it properly, and then carry it up to give to the cook. Prepare more meat tonight so everyone can nourish themselves."
"Understood, Boss!"
Ling Feng led the three women along with that pot and walked toward the camp.
Returning to the bridge, Ling Feng came to the simple open-air kitchen in the aisle opposite the train and handed over the pot along with the oil/fat.
"Help me cut these leaf fats into small pieces!"
Chapter 32 Seong-kyeong... Saiko!
The basic framework of the kitchen had already been built. Sang-hwa and the others had polished a bunch of planks, and by inserting them through the guardrails and iron frames, they created a cooking counter and a small table for placing seasonings.
The stove was also easy to solve; it was built directly, and after that, it would be fine to refine each part a bit.
Hearing the sound, the cook, who was stacking up the wood split into firewood, raised his head to see the boss and the pot of leaf lard in front of him. He said at a glance, "Boss, are you planning to render lard?"
"You know?"
"For sure, Boss. I'm a legitimate chef after all, I still know how to render lard." The chef patted his chest with great confidence.
"Then do you know how to render lard?"
"I do!"
"Then you handle it. After it's rendered, use another container to pack it up for me." Ling Feng hadn't expected a foreigner to know how to render lard, but it wouldn't be bad if he didn't have to do it himself.
"Rest assured, Boss, I understand!" The chef smiled with an ambiguous look; he had done plenty of things like cooking special meals on the side.
"Alright." Ling Feng really couldn't stand the other guy's weird look, especially since it was coming from a man.
He turned around and left, holding Sister Bing's small hand. After returning to the front of the vehicle, Ling Fengplopped down onto the cushion on the floor and lay down unceremoniously.
"Oppa, I want to take a bath~" Lee Ji-eun came over and sat down beside Ling Feng.
Ling Feng turned sideways, wrapped his arms around Lee Ji-eun's waist, and buried his head on her thighs, pressing against her abdomen as a faint body fragrance drifted into his nose.
"Aren't you already smelling nice?"
Feeling the warm, ticklish breath against her abdomen, Lee Ji-eun wriggled her body, raised her hand to press Ling Feng's head between her thighs, clamped it directly with her legs, and said, "After sweating, my body feels sticky and a bit uncomfortable..."
"Yikes~" Lee Ji-eun suddenly let out a weird yelp before letting go of Ling Feng.
Sitting up, Ling Feng licked his lips, looked at Sister Bingand Hye-young on the side, and asked, "Do you two want to wash up as well?"
Li Bingbing's mouth twitched as she watched the interaction between the two, especially that particular action. In the end, the sticky feeling brought by the sweat on her body made her yield.
"We can take one!"
Hye-young also decisively raised her hand.
"Alright, you go ask the other women in the camp if anyone wants to take a bath. I'll take you to a farther place to wash up."
"Okay!"
Li Bingbing turned around and walked out. Ling Fenglooked at Lee Ji-eun's pinkish neck on the side and chuckled, "You're terrible at it yet you love playing~"
"Humph!"
Lee Ji-eun let out a soft snort and chose to ignore him.
Shaking his head, Ling Feng looked at the cautious Hye-young and opened his hands. Hye-young, who didn't react for a moment, even looked back, thinking Sister Bing had returned, only to turn around and find no one behind her.
Only then did she step forward, turn around, squat down, and sit in Ling Feng's arms.
"Weren't you quite bold before? How come you feel so shy after coming here?" Ling Feng wrapped his arms around Hye-young, resting his chin on her shoulder.
"No, it's just that I'm not quite used to it yet." Hye-youngshrank her neck a little.
"Don't think too much. I treat all of you equally, so you don't need to worry about me favoring anyone, okay?" Saying that, Ling Feng affectionately kissed her side cheek.
"Mm, Sister Bing has told me before." Hye-young lowered her head somewhat shyly.
"Ling Feng, let's go. Almost everyone wants to take a bath!" Li Bingbing pushed the door open and walked in.
"Alright!"
"Zhien, bring the body wash and stuff, let's go."
Ling Feng helped Hye-young stand up, then reached out to pull the two girls up as well.
Coming outside, a dozen or so women were standing there chatting softly. Ling Feng also spotted Seong-kyeongamong them, and after looking at her five-to-six-month-pregnant belly, he asked worriedly, "Can you take a bath?"
"It's fine, Ling Feng. I'll just wipe my body with a towel on the side!" Seong-kyeong said dismissively, knowing her own limits.
"Very well!"
"Let's go, let's go, Oppa!" Lee Ji-eun walked out carrying a bunch of body wash and shampoo.
"Mm, then let's go."
Ling Feng walked in front with a group of women following behind him. There were too many people around, all of them women, so Ling Feng led them downstream. Turning back to glance at Seong-kyeong, who was struggling to walk, he stopped, turned around, and scooped her up by the waist.
"I can walk!" Seong-kyeong draped her arms around Ling Feng's neck and stubbornly said.
"Alright, there's no need to push yourself. You're a pregnant woman, so it's only right to take care of you a bit." After saying that, Ling Feng continued leading the crowd of women forward.
Behind them, the young woman rescued from the town was also following with her child, looking with envy at the shy Seong-kyeong in Ling Feng's arms.
Due to her absolute loyalty, coupled with the fact that Ling Feng had saved her and her husband Sang-hwa several times back in the Train to Busan world, her feelings toward Ling Feng had changed after coming to this world.
She somewhat liked—or rather, craved—the feeling of intimate contact with Ling Feng.
This sense of forbidden transgression made her heartbeat involuntarily accelerate and pound wildly. A flush climbed up her beautiful cheeks, and the hands wrapped around Ling Feng's neck increased their strength considerably. She thought Ling Feng didn't know, but unfortunately...
How could Ling Feng, being a spider demon, fail to sense Seong-kyeong's changes? Even her body, which was growing hotter and hotter, was clearly felt by him.
(PS: I don't care anymore, I'm going to eat Seong-kyeong. This is a mutual release of desires. In the last book you guys didn't let me eat, but in this one I'm going to eat! Even if Jesus comes, it's useless, I said so!)
The hand holding Seong-kyeong fell onto her waist, and the soft touch transmitted from his palm made him unable to resist gently pinching it.
Feeling Ling Feng's movement, Seong-kyeong's small mouth parted slightly, and she almost couldn't help crying out. Realizing that Seong-kyeong not only didn't resist but instead hugged him tighter, the movements of his hands grew even bolder.
It was only because he was walking at the very front and the women behind couldn't see that he dared to be so bold.
His left hand kneaded Seong-kyeong's plump waist and began to move slowly upward. Seong-kyeong gripped Ling Feng's clothes tightly, ultimately unable to endure the crazed, thrilling sensation brought by the forbidden transgression, and opened her small mouth to bite onto Ling Feng's nipple.
She was not a promiscuous woman, but because of years of high-intensity work and a fat, hulking body, Sang-hwalooked full of a sense of security, yet in bed, it was truly unspeakable.
It was simply like a little bean sprout...
Before coming to this world, she had always relied on herself to solve her problems, not wanting—or rather, unable—to betray her husband. But Ling Feng was different. Well... this was just the excuse she found for herself in her heart.
She was a woman, a normal woman with desires. At thirty like a wolf, at forty like a tiger, she was stuck right in the middle, fierce like a wolf and ravenous like a tiger.
If she were to truly have a relationship with Ling Feng, she could only ensure that it wouldn't cost a life, simply solving her physiological problems...
The sensation on his chest almost made Ling Feng unable to hold back a groan; it was simply fantastic.
Unable to hold himself back, Ling Feng used his wrist to hold and support Seong-kyeong, his palm already moving upward past the plump edge. His hand was very large, yet he couldn't cover it all. After mentally calculating, it was at least a D-cup!
His hand wantonly played with it. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Seong-kyeong, who was still fixated on his nipple, while his right hand had somehow slipped inside her dress and was moving upward...
Seong-kyeong!
Chapter 33: Like Wolves and Tigers
Seong-kyeong shyly opened her mouth, her eyes half-closed as if she were beginning to enjoy this kind of stimulation.
Ling Feng wantonly groped and played with her hands everywhere. Before long, a soft sound of "mm-hm" came from Seong-kyeong's mouth, which shocked Ling Feng's mind so much that he wished he could turn straight into the woods beside them.
Until the river ahead began to flatten out, forming just a small bend where the water was not deep, Ling Fengwithdrew his hands covered in water stains and said, "Let's do it right here!"
Calculating the distance, they had already left the camp by almost 3 kilometers!
There was no need to worry about being peeped at or things like that, and he didn't feel any gazes around either.
Bending down to put Seong-kyeong down, her legs went weak and she almost fell, her hands tightly clutching Ling Feng's arm.
"Are you okay?"
"I... I'm fine, just a little weak in the legs." Seong-kyeong's voice was very soft, strongly imbued with the embarrassment of being afraid of being discovered.
Hearing this, Ling Feng looked up at the group of women following behind and said, "Everyone take a bath right here, try not to go to the middle of the river! I'm talking about you, Lee Ji-eun!"
As he spoke, his eyes stared straight at the naughtiest Lee Ji-eun. He had finally seen how big this girl's guts were; they were exceptionally huge.
"I know, Oppa."
"Rest assured, Ling Feng, I'll keep an eye on her!"
Li Bingbing covered her mouth and chuckled secretly.
Ling Feng nodded and then added unconvincingly, "The water is too turbulent here, you guys wash here. I'll take Seong-kyeong to find a place with a slower current. Shout if anything happens, and I'll come over anytime!"
"Alright, go ahead!" Li Bingbing didn't know that Ling Fengwas bold enough to make a move on a married woman, so she didn't think much of it, simply assuming that Ling Fengwas taking care of her.
Ling Feng nodded, watched the women turn their backs on him and start undressing even while he was still there, then turned around, took Seong-kyeong by the hand, and walked towards the other end of the bend.
It wasn't that he didn't want to appreciate the view more, but rather that he had more urgent matters right now!
Seong-kyeong's face flushed red, and she knew what might happen next, but deep down she felt a faint sense of anticipation. It had been five or six months, it should be fine, right?
Thinking of this, Seong-kyeong lowered her head in embarrassment.
After walking past the bend and the crowd behind was blocked by the forest, Ling Feng impatiently turned around, hugged Seong-kyeong, and kissed her.
He easily pried open her teeth and entwined with her.
After a round of kissing, Ling Feng only felt his whole body burning with heat. Releasing each other's lips, Seong-kyeong raised her hand to wipe the sparkling moisture from the corner of her mouth and stared straight at Ling Feng.
"Is it okay?" Ling Feng panted heavily, but still symbolically opened his mouth to ask.
"Mn." Seong-kyeong nodded imperceptibly.
He reached out to take off her jacket, and the protruding belly made Ling Feng couldn't help but reach out and touch it, his eyes filled with excitement.
"Slap!" Seong-kyeong speechlessly patted away Ling Feng's hand and said shyly, "Be gentle in a while..."
"Alright!"
Releasing her hands and standing up, Seong-kyeongobediently turned around and undid the clasp, revealing a pair of slender and straight legs. The moment Ling Fengput his hands on her, Seong-kyeong couldn't help trembling slightly before holding onto a nearby big tree, her legs slightly apart.
Half an hour later...
It wasn't that Ling Feng could only last half an hour, but rather that he was worried about hurting the little one.
Picking up the naked Seong-kyeong and draping her clothes over her body, he walked towards the riverside. Sitting by the river, Ling Feng took a handkerchief and gently wiped Seong-kyeong's body. He wouldn't dare let Seong-kyeong go into the water, so wiping with a handkerchief was better.
Seong-kyeong leaned in Ling Feng's arms, enjoying it as a matter of course. She didn't feel that she had done anything wrong; she hadn't fallen out of love, it was just a reasonable vent.
"Mm~"
During the wiping process, every time Ling Feng touched Seong-kyeong's sensitive areas, she would make a seductive sound, causing Ling Feng to have to endure it each time, and finally saying helplessly, "That's about enough, if you hum two more times, I'm going to go again!"
Hearing this, Seong-kyeong's face showed a sign of being tempted, looking at him so lightly.
"That's enough, even if you aren't afraid, I'm afraid of hurting the child. There will be plenty of time in the future!"
How could Ling Feng not know what this woman was thinking? For a moment, he felt speechless, giving off the strong feeling that it wasn't him who had set his sights on Seong-kyeong, but rather Seong-kyeong who had set her sights on him. He smiled speechlessly.
In the end, with no other choice, Seong-kyeong reached out, wrapped her arms around Ling Feng's neck, raised her head, and kissed him. Ling Feng also responded.
Another twenty or thirty minutes passed before he helped Seong-kyeong get dressed, took a quick cold shower himself, and carried her back.
"Oppa~ You guys are so slow~" Lee Ji-eun, who had been in a daze, complained when she saw Ling Feng and Seong-kyeong return, completely unaware of Seong-kyeong's radiant expression that looked like she was experiencing a second spring.
Only the married woman holding a child felt that the relationship between the two was a bit strange, but she couldn't figure out where the problem was.
"Alright, alright, Seong-kyeong is a pregnant woman, take care of her!" Ling Feng looked around; a dozen women's hair was dripping with water, and the surrounding air was filled with a faint scent of body wash.
"Are you all done washing? If you're done, let's go!" Ling Feng glanced at Sister Bing, nodded, and carrying Seong-kyeong, started walking back. The rest of the people hurriedly followed.
By the time they returned to the camp, it was almost an hour later. Their trip out had taken nearly 3 hours in total!
"Whoa! You guys are pretty fast!" Ling Feng put down Seong-kyeong in his arms, looked at Sang-hwa covered in sweat, and then looked at the three small wooden cabins taking initial shape on the railway tracks with some surprise.
"Hehe, isn't it because there's a carpenter here? The only troublesome thing was cutting the planks, the assembly was quite fast." Saying this, Sang-hwa stood up and looked at Seong-kyeong, who smelled fragrant all over, his eyes lighting up. How come he felt his wife was even more charming after taking a bath?
Thinking of this, he wanted to step forward and hug her, but Seong-kyeong ruthlessly raised her hand, gave him a blank stare, and said in disgust, "I just took a bath, and you're covered in sweat and wood chips all over!"
"Isn't it because I forgot..." Sang-hwa scratched his head sheepishly.
"Alright, you guys keep working." Watching the interaction between the two, Ling Feng felt a bit guilty. After finishing, he turned around and left.
"Boss Ling is really great!"
Seong-kyeong stared at Ling Feng's back for a moment when she heard Sang-hwa's voice. Thinking their relationship had been discovered, she turned her head away with a guilty conscience and said, "Yeah, Ling Feng is a good guy. I'm going back to the carriage to rest for a bit, I feel so tired."
"Should I wake you up when it's time to eat later?"
"No need, I don't think I'm very hungry." Seong-kyeongtouched her belly and replied with ambiguous meaning.
"Was the little one well-behaved today?"
"Not very well-behaved, always moving around randomly, making me uncomfortable."
Seong-kyeong said with a flushed face as she stroked the lower part of her belly, and after finishing, she lifted her leg and walked towards the carriage.
Seong-kyeong really wronged the little one in her belly...
If it were you sleeping and someone poked you with a stick, even if you didn't have bad temper upon waking up, you would definitely be unhappy!
Returning to the small compartment belonging to her and Sang-hwa on the carriage, she closed the wooden door made of wood, pulled down the curtain, and took off her clothes.
"Why is it still flowing..."
Pulling over some paper to wipe, she carefully lay down on the flattened seat and fell asleep from exhaustion before long.
(PS: Hope I don't enter the dark room, everyone please don't report it, haha, once I'm in the dark room I'll be helpless.)
Seong-kyeong, I ate it, what are you gonna do = - =
Chapter 34 Wetted Through
Liquid slowly flowed down and quickly soaked the clothes.
On the other end, Ling Feng was not idle either, arriving at the logging area and watching everyone needing two people to coordinate just to drag the logs, he directly stepped in and took over, picking up a log that required joint effort with just one hand and walking off.
This left everyone dumbfounded, once again giving them a new assessment of Ling Feng's strength; the man was simply a mini tank.
With Ling Feng joining in, everyone's working speed also quickened, and before long, over a hundred logs with their branches trimmed were piled up there.
After finishing all this and looking at the wood chips on his body, Ling Feng was utterly speechless: "Well, that bath was practically for nothing," and he went back to the front of the train, grabbed some body wash, walked under the bridge, and simply washed up again.
After finishing his bath, Ling Feng returned to the bridge, walked along the iron frame to the top of the viaduct, and looked at the passageway below and the train that occupied almost half of the viaduct, roughly calculating the size of each wooden cabin and how many people could live on this bridge in total.
After calculating, he found that 200 people was pretty much the limit!
It would barely be enough for the early stage; he could recruit people while training them, and by the time the population reached its limit, it would be about time to find a town to garrison. By then, he should have already entered a few dungeons.
There were small towns both ahead and behind, just picking one would do.
Having figured this out, Ling Feng walked down, sniffing the aroma of meat wafting from below.
Passing by the kitchen, the chef suddenly shouted: "Boss, Boss!"
Ling Feng turned his head in confusion: "What is it?"
"Hehe, your portion is already ready!" The chef mysteriously lifted a large plate of meat dishes fried in lard, wild vegetables, and fish soup from under the counter, in a portion large enough for seven or eight people to eat.
"Alright, then I'll take it away." Saying this, Ling Fengstepped up and lifted it. Having taken just two steps, he suddenly turned his head and asked: "How are everyone else's meals?"
"Rest assured, Boss, absolutely no problem. There's meat and soup as well, it's just that yours was stir-fried separately using lard!"
The chef patted his chest in assurance, fearing that Ling Feng would suspect him, and even opened a large iron pot used to hold dishes nearby.
Ling Feng leaned over to take a look, and indeed he hadn't been lied to; a whole large pot of pork was stewed, it's just that Ling Feng couldn't really appreciate it, even though it smelled quite fragrant, and there was fish soup too, milky-white and very tempting.
Nodding, Ling Feng carried the tray and walked towards the front of the train.
As soon as he entered, he heard Lee Ji-eun's hearty laughter.
"What are you laughing at? So happy, get ready to eat."
Putting the tray on the simple wooden dining table he brought in, Ling Feng looked curiously at the few of them.
"It's nothing, mind your own business!" This was a little secret among women, and Lee Ji-eun definitely didn't want Oppa to know.
Shrugging, Ling Feng didn't mind. He went back outside and quickly returned with a few bowls and a basin of rice.
The people outside had already started lining up to get rice and dishes. The food was sufficient; if it ran out, it would be refilled. Several people could team up and find a place to sit and chat while eating, or a person could find a quiet place to sit and eat alone.
Anyway, however they pleased was fine. No one forced where they had to eat or how much they had to eat; it was still quite relaxed and free.
This was also the reason why, even though Ling Feng said it was a dictatorship, it didn't feel that oppressive.
Thinking about how he hadn't seen Seong-kyeong when he went out earlier, but only saw Seong-kyeong eating together with Yongguk and the others, Ling Feng got up and said: "You guys eat first!"
Then they saw Ling Feng open the iron door connecting the front of the train to the carriage and walk over.
"We'll eat."
Ling Feng came outside Seong-kyeong and her husband's wooden cabin. Hearing the even breathing coming from inside, he knocked on the door, and a voice quickly came from within.
"Aiya, I said I'm not eating, I'm so tired!" Seong-kyeongdidn't even open her eyelids, and even carried a trace of morning/bed anger.
"It's me!"
'Click'
Hearing that it was Ling Feng's voice, Seong-kyeongforced herself to perk up and opened the door, revealing a tired little face.
"Aiyoyo, what's wrong?" Raising his hand to stroke her face, Ling Feng asked.
"You're still saying that, you're so bad!"
Saying this, Seong-kyeong felt a chill down her lower body, her face suddenly turned bright red, and she closed the door again.
Ling Feng outside the door was full of confusion.
Seong-kyeong took off her underwear, which was even soaked through, blushed, stuffed it under the cushion, and only then opened the door.
"Speak, what is it?" Seong-kyeong looked at Ling Feng.
"I didn't see you eating, so I came over to ask."
"Let's go, there's fish soup stewed. Since you're pregnant, your nutrition must keep up." Saying this, he reached out, took Seong-kyeong's small hand, and walked toward the front of the train.
"Hey... wait... wait a minute." Seong-kyeong covered her skirt with one hand while softly protesting.
Coming to the door, Ling Feng let go of Seong-kyeong's hand. With no other choice, Seong-kyeong could only bite the bullet and walk in.
Seeing that Ling Feng had gone to call Seong-kyeong, Li Bingbing put down her bowl and chopsticks, looked curiously at Ling Feng, and asked: "Didn't Sang-hwa go tell Seong-kyeong to eat?"
"How would I know? I went out to get food and didn't see Seong-kyeong, so I thought of going to check on her."
Ling Feng naturally led Seong-kyeong to sit opposite the three of them.
"This irresponsible man, he clearly looked quite honest and simple-minded." Lee Ji-eun bit her chopsticks and said.
Hye-young nearby was also very curious; she remembered that back in South Korea, the Sang-hwa she saw was quite responsible, and the two of them looked very affectionate, didn't they?
"Don't let your imaginations run wild. It was me who told Sang-hwa that I wanted to sleep more, which is why he didn't call me." Just as she took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by Ling Feng and heard the two getting more and more outrageous, she hurriedly spoke up to explain.
Her relationship with Sang-hwa was very good; she only had a bit of resentment towards him because she wasn't satisfied in bed. But now, with Ling Feng, all problems were solved, and their relationship in the future would only get better and better.
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that they had misunderstood.
"Alright, alright, eat properly!"
Ling Feng picked up the soup ladle and scooped a bowl of soup for each of them.
Lifting her bowl, Seong-kyeong looked at the milky-white fish soup. Not knowing what she thought of, she stealthily glared at Ling Feng before still bringing it to her lips and taking a light sip. The taste was very good, and she liked it a lot.
Seeing that Seong-kyeong still dared to glare at him—although he didn't know what had happened—was he the kind of person to suffer a loss?
With his right hand, he picked up the fish soup, and with his left hand, he placed it on the smooth and tender thigh of Seong-kyeong sitting beside him. Seong-kyeong's whole body suddenly stiffened and she pressed her legs tighter together.
This bastard!
"..."
She wasn't wearing any...
"..."
Watching Seong-kyeong, who was drinking soup while chatting with the others and still had to divide her attention to deal with him, Ling Feng was immensely amused in his heart.
Until something furry appeared, leaving Ling Feng utterly dumbfounded.
But he still didn't let her off...
The white tiger and the jungle cannot both be had.
Some like mythical beasts, some like that sense of mystery in the jungle; he was the latter!
Just kidding, he liked both.
"Is it very spicy? Seong-kyeong..." Li Bingbing looked at Seong-kyeong, whose cheeks were flushed and who wore an endurance-like expression, then lowered her head to look at the food on the table; the only spicy dish was the stir-fried meat with added seasoning.
"It's... it's alright, I can endure it."
"Can you really endure it?" Ling Feng, who was at the side with a worried expression on his face but actually full of mischievous smiles deep in his eyes, looked at Seong-kyeong.
"I can!" Seong-kyeong, refusing to admit defeat, raised her voice quite a bit.
The other three looked at Seong-kyeong in astonishment. If you can, you can, why raise your voice so loud...
Embarrassed, Seong-kyeong glared angrily at Ling Fengbefore continuing to bury her head in eating.
Delicious, love to eat!
Chapter 35: Li Bingbing's Worry.
"Strange... Did you guys hear the sound of water droplets?" Lee Ji-eun puzzledly raised her hand and started searching around.
Seeing that Lee Ji-eun was about to bend down to look under the table, Ling Feng smoothly withdrew his hand. Seong-kyeong bit her lip and straightened her back quite a bit, the flush on her cheeks extremely alluring.
"Alright, after finishing the meal, just go do whatever you need to do."
Ling Feng, who let out a sigh of relief, was somewhat speechless watching Lee Ji-eun still searching everywhere; this girl completely didn't play by the rules.
"No way, I'm still eating!" Lee Ji-eun raised her hand to block the bowl like an animal protecting its food, which amused everyone watching.
After finishing the meal, Seong-kyeong didn't even greet anyone, hurriedly opened the door, and ran back.
Li Bingbing looked at Ling Feng, and the latter shrugged to indicate that he didn't know either.
The cleanup after the meal was left to the three of them. Ling Feng came outside where the people who had finished eating had started working again. Ling Fenglooked up at the sky overhead; although it was a clear day, what would happen if it rained?
He couldn't magically conjure up dozens of wooden cabins right now either. Looking at the iron framework roof above, perhaps he could find some large pieces of tarpaulin or oilcloth to lay over the viaduct!
Let's do it tomorrow!
Early tomorrow morning, he would take Sister Bing and the other two. They couldn't just stay moldering in the camp all the time; when it was time for actual combat, they still had to go.
...
By evening, the sky was gradually darkening. Everyone sleeping became a problem; there weren't enough places to sleep, not to mention quilts, mattresses, and the like. Ling Feng, who originally only planned to take the three women out tomorrow, instantly abandoned that thought.
It seemed he still had to take others. The massive shortage of living supplies alone was a huge problem. Although there were quite a few supplies brought back from that supermarket, a bed that allowed people to sleep well was still essential!
"Sang-hwa!"
Ling Feng called out to stop the honest and thick-skinned fellow ahead who was still preparing to move planks.
Sang-hwa turned back and walked over, coming before Ling Feng, and asked in confusion: "What is it, Boss Ling!"
"Today's work ends here. Tomorrow, you are coming out with me on a trip!"
"Nobody in the camp has a place to sleep properly, and there's no shelter overhead. I'm worried it might rain!"
Ling Feng actually felt a bit guilty inside. Although it felt great at the time, afterwards he still felt somewhat apologetic to Sang-hwa.
Sang-hwa scratched his head and said: "Boss Ling, however you arrange it, I'll do it!"
There were no excuses, not even a trace of hesitation. Whatever Ling Feng said, Sang-hwa would do.
Stepping forward to pat Sang-hwa on the shoulder, Ling Feng spoke with extreme seriousness: "I'll protect the lives of the three of you—work hard!"
"Hurry back and rest, we'll set off early tomorrow morning!"
After finishing, Ling Feng went to find the two drivers who knew how to drive fire trucks and asked them to dismantle everything inside the compartments, leaving only the compartments themselves, and to drive the two vehicles out with him tomorrow.
The two of them went to do this with great excitement.
The biggest problem with fire trucks was the water tank in the back, but solving it was also simple. Through the sliding doors on the side of the vehicle body used to store firefighting tools, they just needed to saw it open directly with an electric saw.
This way, they would get a large truck with the sturdiness of a fire truck, a complete compartment, and a lock!
It would be enough to hold a massive amount of supplies.
Seeing that the two had found a way, Ling Feng called Yongguk over and instructed him, saying: "Tomorrow morning, I'm going to take Sang-hwa and the two fire trucks to leave and go out. The camp's safety is left to you!"
Yongguk had originally thought he was going to be taken along, and completely didn't expect to be left behind to be responsible for everything in the camp. Knowing his own capabilities, Yongguk waved his hands repeatedly and said with utter lack of confidence:
"Boss Ling, I can't do it... I can't do this..."
"There's nothing that can't be done, Yongguk. I believe in you. You're not young anymore, and you and Jin-hee must learn to grow up!"
"I have only one requirement: after we leave, whoever dares to stick their neck out and cause trouble gets shot directly. Don't think about tying them up and waiting for me to come back, understand?"
"I..." Yongguk stammered and glanced at Jin-hee not far away who was worriedly watching this side. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, Boss Ling!"
"Mhm!"
Seeing this kid Yongguk perk up, Ling Feng nodded in satisfaction and left. There were still too few usable people, and a month's time was really too long—couldn't it be changed so they could enter instances at any time?
The system wasn't smart at all...
Seeing Ling Feng leave, Jin-hee quickly trotted over, hooked her arm around Yongguk's, and asked: "Oppha, did he look for you for anything?"
Jin-hee didn't feel there was anything wrong with calling Ling Feng Oppha; after all, Ling Feng was indeed older than her.
"Boss Ling wants me to be in charge of the camp tomorrow; they're going out." Yongguk turned his head with a blushing face, obviously still a little virgin.
"This is a good thing! It shows that you're finally of some use."
"No way, Jin-hee, I'm not that weak, am I?" Yongguk felt that he was losing face a bit... and even became a bit angry.
He pulled his hand out and left to go back.
Jin-hee watched Yongguk leave in a huff and raised her hand wanting to call him back, but didn't she want face too?
They were both young people, and everyone wanted face; nobody wanted to lower their head first. In the end, Jin-heelet out a soft huff and also left.
Returning to the compartment and looking at Yongguk's small room, she didn't choose to go in either, but instead entered the empty small cubicle across the aisle. Anyway, neither of them had confessed to the other. She had decided: three days!
Three days of ignoring Yongguk, unless he apologized to her.
...
On the other side, Ling Feng returned to the room. Li Bingbing stepped forward to help him take off his outer jacket and said: "Everything arranged?"
"Mhm. Tomorrow all three of you are coming out with me, along with Sang-hwa, the two drivers, and 5 other people. The camp will be left for that kid Yongguk to watch tomorrow."
Hye-young asked worriedly: "Is it okay to leave it to him?"
"Rest assured, the problem isn't big. That kid looks timid, but he's actually quite brave." Thinking of Yongguk's tender face, Ling Feng couldn't blame them all for worrying.
"Fine then, as long as you think it's okay." Li Bingbing said with a smile and just looked at him like that.
Ling Feng touched his face and asked quizzically: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Looking at Lee Ji-eun and Hye-young, he found that both of them were staring at him without moving.
"Sigh~ Those two have both been eaten by you, yet you left me out—are you disgusted with me?" Sighing, Li Bingbing looked at Ling Feng like a resentful woman.
Sometimes she even doubted whether there was a problem with her own charm, but back then she hadn't misread Ling Feng's fiery gaze that wanted to devour her...
Or was it that with these two young girls, he disdained a faded woman like her?
"Aw, I thought it was something major, but aren't we going out tomorrow, Sister Bing? Otherwise, how about when we get back?" Ling Feng smiled so wretchedly that it made people want to hit him.
Li Bingbing didn't even think and directly reached out!
"Awooo~" Ling Feng abruptly let out a cry of pain and stood on his tiptoes.
"Sister Bing, Sister Bing, I was wrong, I was wrong, it hurts, hurts, hurts!"
With his lifeline grabbed, let alone being a spider spirit, even Superman wouldn't survive!
Li Bingbing grabbed it with a flushed face. She didn't know what was wrong with herself either; maybe it was jealousy, or maybe it was worry, afraid that Ling Feng would truly grow tired of the old and love the new, disdaining him.
Suddenly, Li Bingbing felt that the thing in her hand was getting hotter and hotter...
She is truly so beautiful.
Chapter 36 Taking Women Out to Battle, Don't Be a Vase!
It hardened!
"..."
Glancing teasingly at Ling Feng, Li Bingbing only felt it was burning hot...
But still she didn't let go.
"It seems I'm still quite charming after all."
After letting go, Li Bingbing raised her hand to brush her hair, but her movement abruptly stopped. This hand... seemed to be...
Seeing Ling Feng's smug expression and the two quails around them, she acted as if nothing had happened, walked over to the bed, patted it, and said calmly, "Come here!"
"Oh, oh."
"You two as well, go to sleep! We're heading out tomorrow."
"Okay, Sister Bing! × 2"
How dare the two little ones say anything more? They lay down, covered their heads, and started pretending to sleep.
Li Bingbing glanced at Ling Feng walking over, turned around helplessly, and lay down. The latter smiled, lay down as well, and wrapped his arms around Li Bingbing's plump waist. Before long, both drifted off to dreamland.
Early the next morning...
"I'm leaving the house to you. Remember what I said!" Ling Feng sat in the driver's seat, rolled down the window, and looked at Yongguk outside.
The latter nodded vigorously. "Rest assured, Big Brother Ling."
"Mn."
Ling Feng gave a soft acknowledgment and started the car. As he left, he saw Seong-kyeong waiting to the side, her eyes filled with worry, though it was unclear who she was worrying about. Ling Feng nodded slightly and drove out first.
Sang-hwa, on the fire truck behind, saw Seong-kyeong, waved his hand, and said, "Rest assured and wait for our return."
Two fire trucks followed Ling Feng's van as they left. Today's destination was still the town where they had brought back Kara and the others. Early that morning, he had chatted with Kara and learned that her goal this time was bedding and such items.
Kara had also given him a surprise: there were two furniture stores in the town, which contained a large quantity of mattresses, quilts, sheets, and pillows for their purpose. Moreover, there were clothing stores and shoe stores on that street, making it a small commercial street, right across from which were hardware stores and tool shops.
Hearing this, Ling Feng decisively pulled Kara along to go out with them.
Sitting in the front passenger seat was Kara, who was responsible for navigation, while the back row held the three of them: Li Bingbing, Lee Ji-eun, and Hye-young!
Sister Bing and Zhien were teaching Hye-young how to use a firearm and helping her install the silencer.
"I wonder if there are still any living people left in the town." Kara, sitting in the front passenger seat, looked at the town that had appeared in the distance and asked with emotion.
"There should still be quite a few, so you all must pull yourselves together. When we left yesterday, just the ones we saw were quite a number—probably a dozen or twenty at most!"
"After all, who doesn't have some food stored at home more or less? Even if they hide at home, they can survive for a week or so."
Ling Feng held the steering wheel with his right hand, a cigarette pinched in his left hand resting on the car window, and spoke thoughtfully.
Soon the vehicle arrived at the junction of the railway tracks and the town highway. Making a turn, they entered the highway leading straight to the town. This time Ling Feng asked, "Where does the other end lead to?"
"If you keep driving straight that way, it leads to the city."
"The city..."
That place wasn't somewhere they could go right now—of course, not for him, but for the others. A city has at least hundreds of thousands of people; with that population density, a horde of zombies couldn't be dealt with by him alone.
"Ling Feng, the city is very dangerous!" Li Bingbing in the back row, worried that Ling Feng might make some irrational choice, put down her gun and reminded him.
"Don't worry, I know. At least until each of you can deal with zombies independently, I won't choose to enter rashly. Your safety is the most important."
The three women in the back row all felt a sweetness in their hearts upon hearing this. This was the man they chose; although a bit promiscuous, it proved they hadn't chosen wrong.
Kara in the front passenger seat was extremely envious. Not to mention that she was originally a fan of Ling Feng, which young girl wouldn't harbor romantic thoughts after experiencing a hero saving a damsel in distress?
She didn't look bad either; if she confessed to Ling Feng, would he accept?
But she was also afraid of being rejected, since the three women in the back were not worse than her.
What if she got rejected? How would she get along with them afterwards...
She shook her head to shake off the inappropriate thoughts in her mind, raised her hand to point ahead, and said, "Turn left!"
Although curious about what was wrong with Kara, he honestly turned left.
"Turn right at the second street!"
"Then go straight past three streets and turn right, and we'll be there!"
Ling Feng did as told, and before long they arrived at the small commercial street in the town. There were quite a few zombies too; hearing the commotion made by Ling Feng's vehicle, they all turned their heads and sprinted over.
The four women in the car looked at the charging zombies. Even staying inside this bulletproof car, their hands were still trembling slightly, and their lips were slightly quivering. When these ghostly things covered in blood and with ruined faces charged at them, it was still somewhat terrifying.
Ling Feng just sat there without moving; he wanted to see if the four women truly had the courage to shoot.
"You can crack open a gap in the windows and then shoot!"
It couldn't be called disappointment. You must know that back then, before Maggie transformed, she had also panicked and screamed when encountering zombies in the pharmacy. Everyone had an adaptation period.
He wouldn't insist on saying, "You killed zombies on the railway tracks, why are you still acting like this?"
That was different!
It's like being chased by a guard dog; even if you clearly have a weapon, if you see a large guard dog charging at you, I don't believe you wouldn't panic—let alone that this thing is a zombie!
Although not yet rotting, the torn-off skin was equally horrifying!
On the two fire trucks behind, Sang-hwa watched the zombies surround the van. For a moment, he didn't know what Boss Ling wanted to do, but he didn't get out of the car casually either.
Until gun barrels extended from both sides of the van in front did Sang-hwa suddenly realize. It seemed Boss Lingwanted to train them. Thinking of this, he glanced at the few members and the driver sitting in the back.
"Watch carefully! You guys will have to experience these things in the future too!"
"Those zombies are nothing more than running a bit faster, climbing a bit, using tools a bit, being able to..." Sang-hwafelt more and more off as he spoke, his voice trailing off. Seeing the terrified expressions on the few people, he shouted self-abandoningly:
"Anyway, they're very weak, and dealing with them is completely unproblematic!"
The gazes the others directed at him were full of distrust. Sang-hwa was also helpless; he really didn't know how to explain...
'Pfft, pfft, pfft'
Inside the van ahead, Li Bingbing and the others heard Ling Feng's words, cracked open the windows just enough to ensure they could stick the gun barrels out and shove them into the zombies' mouths, and then decisively pulled the triggers.
Bullets directly pierced through the heads of the zombies, scattering pitch-black blood all over the ground.
Seeing this, Kara in the front passenger seat closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and also pulled the trigger.
As a slight recoil came, Kara couldn't wait to open her eyes and look out the window. Upon seeing the zombie on the ground, she turned her head in surprise to look at Ling Feng and shouted, "I did it too!"
Ling Feng gave them a thumbs-up and said, "Not bad, not bad, just like this. These zombies look terrifying, but they have no brains. As long as you get a headshot, even a child can easily deal with them!"
"Mm-hm, we know." The women nodded one after another.
Ling Feng pulled open the car door, got out, and said, "Next, it's time to move the goods!"
(ps: I know, wait for the validator, this book will definitely go into the dark room. It's just not started yet, and I won't write much about it later. I really don't want to modify it. Everyone can review and urge updates, but please don't report it, thank you)
Kara
Chapter 37: Incompetent Waste
After getting out of the car, Ling Feng and the others took the lead in entering the nearby furniture store.
Kara clicked her tongue twice and said, "The owner of this shop used to be a snob. I didn't expect that I would be able to get things for free from him now, hehehe."
Seeing Kara's full desire for revenge, everyone didn't say anything, as this matter was quite normal.
In the apocalyptic world, in fact, many times the first to die are often those big bosses or people who are extremely snobbish at ordinary times.
The grievances accumulated in normal times will turn out like this after losing the rules.
"Can these things really be sold?" Ling Feng pointed at the rows of Simmons, various high-end mattresses, and custom furniture. He truly didn't believe that this small town had such high consumption capacity!
"I don't know either, I haven't seen anyone buy them usually..." Kara shook her head, as she really didn't know.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Feng carefully sniffed the smell inside. Before long, a faint pungent smell drifted into his nose.
He walked towards the place where the smell was coming from, and with a hard pull of both hands, he tore open the mattress in front of him.
"Holy shit!" Sang-hwa looked in shock at the bags of white powdery objects appearing inside.
"Boss Ling, could this be drugs?"
"It seems to be drugs. No wonder they kept selling these high-end furniture even though clearly no one bought them. It turns out they were running a scam!" Ling Fengreached out, picked up a pack, weighed it in his hand, his voice cold and filled with killing intent.
No matter who consumes it, this kind of thing is what he can endure the least!
"Don't rush to move yet!"
Ling Feng put this mattress aside and searched the entire store carefully again. Soon, he moved out three mattresses that emitted such a pungent smell.
After throwing them aside, Ling Feng said, "Alright, the rest can be moved away."
"To work, brothers!" Sang-hwa waved his hand, and several people began to move all the mattresses, quilts, quilt covers, pillowcases, and other bedding supplies in the store.
They moved them out layer by layer and began to stuff them into the fire truck. Before long, the entire interior space of the fire truck was stuffed full, but there were still a large number of mattresses left unmovable in the store.
This was the troublesome part. Every single mattress was not small and took up space, plus they had too few vehicles. Afterwards, they must find a way to get more of those large trailers, otherwise every time they went out, they couldn't load many supplies...
"Stop, stop, stop!" Seeing that Sang-hwa and the others still wanted to stuff things into the second fire truck, Ling Feng hurriedly called to stop them.
"Stuffing them down like this won't do. Put them on the roof of the car, I will solve the problem of stability!"
"Alright!"
Afterwards, Sang-hwa came to the roof of the car, took the mattress handed up by the people below, and laid it on the car roof. Knowing Ling Feng's background, he understood Ling Feng's meaning, so he piled them up very neatly.
They piled it up to a full four or five meters high, and it really couldn't be piled any higher; if they piled it any more, they wouldn't even be able to enter the tunnel when driving later.
But they had also almost finished moving everything in the store.
"Let's go, to the next house!"
Next, Ling Feng and the others not only moved various clothes that filled half a car, but also emptied quite a bit of the kitchenware store next door. Seeing that there was still plenty of space inside the fire truck, their eyes went directly to the hardware store across the street!
Tools were currently in great shortage at the camp, so even if there was only one axe left inside, it had to be taken away.
As for Li Bingbing and the other two, Ling Feng didn't deliberately make them follow, but instead sent them to the roof of the second fire truck to keep an eye on the surrounding situation. If they spotted zombies, they could just open fire directly. Anyway, with the existence of the silencer, it didn't matter even if they missed, because they were right beside them.
Walking into the hardware store, the display cabinets inside were twisted and knocked down on the ground, but various tools were still very complete. Whether it was the nails, zip ties, or steel cables they urgently needed right now, almost all of them were available.
"Boss Ling, the progress of the camp's wooden cabins can be accelerated quite a bit now!" Sang-hwa squatted down excitedly, looking at the chainsaw under the shelf, and was about to reach out.
Ling Feng suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and pulled him back. A zombie opened its mouth and snapped at empty air.
Sang-hwa looked at that zombie with a pale face. That was close!
He was almost bitten... He couldn't imagine at all what Seong-kyeong would do if he were bitten.
"Th-Thank you, Boss Ling." Sang-hwa looked at Ling Fengwith immense gratitude.
Cold sweat broke out on the backs of the few people behind him.
"It's nothing, you guys must be a bit more careful. These zombies often hide in places you can't see, waiting for an opportunity to bite you. And those that look breathless like they're dead are actually still alive!"
Ling Feng pulled a nail from the shelf beside him, flicked his hand, and directly pierced through the zombie's brain, then said, "As long as the corpse hasn't been headshot, you must all be extra careful. You only have one life!"
"I understand, Boss Ling. I will definitely raise my vigilance in the future."
This matter could also be considered a wake-up call for Sang-hwa and the others. Although this world had him, the hidden dangers were not less at all. Without being careful, they couldn't survive at all!
"Check first to see if there are any more zombies, and then move!"
"Yes!"
This time, a group of people held flashlights and carefully checked every invisible gap. The thrilling scene just now really frightened them.
"There is one here!" One of them suddenly tugged at his companion's clothes and pointed inside in a low voice.
Three zombies were standing in a small cubicle as if in a deep sleep.
"You guys handle it!" Ling Feng came behind the two and watched with his arms crossed. Whenever there was an opportunity, he would train them. If it weren't for the fact that the zombies in this world could run, he wouldn't even want to come; waiting for them to come out and scavenge on their own would be fine.
Zombies that could run were indeed different in difficulty from those that couldn't. It was still too early for this group of people to reach a point where they could team up to go out and try to minimize casualties, but fortunately, there was enough time now!
The two looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth, picked up a screwdriver, nodded, and stabbed towards the heads of the zombies in front of them from left and right. But their courage was truly too small; they even closed their eyes.
Then Ling Feng saw that as soon as the two's screwdrivers poked the zombies' heads and before they were fully stabbed in, the zombies woke up.
"Hah, hah!"
The three zombies were awakened at the same time, and the face-to-face situation frightened the two so much that they couldn't help but scream out.
"No, no, no, don't eat me!"
"Ahhh, help, Boss, help!"
The two flailed their hands around in panic, but these were three zombies. Seeing that they were about to be bitten, Ling Feng made his move, shooting three nails directly into their heads respectively.
Even after the zombies died, these two people were still screaming loudly, which attracted Sang-hwa and the others from the other side over.
"What's wrong! What happened?" Sang-hwa and five other people ran over with weapons in hand.
As a result, they saw the two shouting and screaming on the ground, with three already-killed zombies in front of them and a dark-faced Ling Feng.
Seeing that Ling Feng was about to lose his temper, Sang-hwa hurried forward, kicked the two who were still screaming, and roared in a low voice, "Shut up!"
"Ahhhh!"
Sang-hwa's action did not stop the two; instead, having been suddenly kicked, they were even more frightened and their voices became even louder!
Li Bingbing and the other three on the roof of the car outside all heard the commotion coming from inside. They looked sideways, but couldn't see the situation inside at all, feeling extremely anxious and wanting to determine what had happened and if Ling Feng was okay.
"Sister Bing!"
Li Bingbing, who was just about to get off the car, heard the urgent shouts of Hye-young and Zhien.
Li Bingbing turned her head to look, and her face turned pale.
Lee Ji-eun~
Chapter 38: "I want to shoot in burst mode!"
Horde!
Hundreds of them!
"Ling Feng!"
Inside the house, Ling Feng was just about to step up and make the two good-for-nothings shut up when he heard Li Bingbing's panicked voice outside.
Coupled with the sound of dense footsteps echoing from afar...
Trouble!
"Prepare for combat!"
With that, Ling Feng took the rifle off his back and ran outside, leaping onto the car roof in a single bound to see the horde charging over—obviously attracted by the noise of those two good-for-nothings!
Although he was angry, now was not the time to blow his top.
Turning to look at Sang-hwa and the others who had run out, he shouted: "Go back! Block the door and open fire!"
"Quick, quick, quick, get inside, get inside!"
"Come and help!" Sang-hwa pushed the few people behind him back into the room, ran over to the counter on the side, grabbed the tabletop with both hands, the veins on his forehead bulging.
The rest of them hurriedly rushed to Sang-hwa's side to help push the counter to the door to block it, and also pushed over a nearby shelf to barricade the entrance.
Glancing at the two people who were still yelling wildly, Sang-hwa couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward, and kicked both of them in the back.
"Shut up! Scream again and I'll kill you!" At this moment, Sang-hwa appeared incomparably irritable; if it weren't for these two good-for-nothings, how could they have drawn the zombie horde?
The two people, ruthlessly kicked in the back, had tears and snot beaten out of them, their auras instantly weakening significantly, almost kicked to death on the spot by the enraged Sang-hwa.
Outside, Ling Feng reached out, pulled Lee Ji-eun and Hye-young into his arms, one on each side, and with a push of his feet, jumped directly onto the roof of the hardware store.
After putting the two down, he went back to the car and carried Li Bingbing over as well.
"This is a great opportunity to temper your courage, just open fire!" Saying this, Ling Feng walked to the center of the roof, raised his hand, and smashed it down with a punch.
With a loud bang of 'Bang!', chunks of cement immediately fell from the roof.
Sang-hwa and the others turned their heads to look, only to see Ling Feng appearing indifferently above the hole in the roof.
Boss Ling punched right through the roof?
Even Sang-hwa was shocked, let alone the rest of them. Looking at Ling Feng, who looked like a god of war, they forgot to be afraid of the zombie horde for a moment.
'Clang, clang, clang,' the horde began to impact the shelves.
The few of them shuddered and hurriedly turned around to deal with the zombies; well... saying they weren't afraid was a lie.
Sang-hwa pressed his left hand desperately against the shelf, grasped a machete in his right hand, and directly stabbed at the heads of the zombies outside through the gaps.
The rest of them suppressed the fear in their hearts and also began attacking across the shelves.
Li Bingbing and the others on the top floor came to the edge of the roof and began shooting at the zombies below. Because the distance was too close, they didn't need sights at all, just needing to shoot downward from a high vantage point.
Ling Feng did not step in to help. Jumping into the hardware store, he looked at the two people still groaning softly and frowned tightly. They were grown men, yet their psychological resilience was so poor.
After returning, he planned to catch a few zombies, tie them up, and specifically use them to temper their guts!
Dropping down from the hole in the ceiling, Ling Fengwalked up behind the two and said: "Shut up!"
The two raised their heads, still whimpering, and looked at him fearfully.
"If I hear you howling like ghosts again, I guarantee I'll throw you outside to feed the zombies!"
"Can't we even be afraid?"
"If you hadn't insisted on making us kill zombies, would things have turned out like this?"
One of them looked at Ling Feng and began to shout and complain, his voice not lowering in the slightest, but instead getting louder and louder, which drove the zombies outside even more frantic.
"I fucking gave you too much face!"
Ling Feng reached out like lightning, grabbed him by the neck, and turned around abruptly to throw him toward the door.
"Boom, clatter!"
The man was thrown out directly like a sandbag by Ling Feng, knocking away the shelves used to block the door and all the zombies at the entrance.
"Ahhh!" The moment the man flew out, he let out a terrified scream, but upon hitting the shelf, almost all the bones in his body were fractured. When he collided with the horde outside, not only did he scatter them, but he also crashed onto a fire truck.
The terrifying force shook the fire truck, and as for the man, he was completely dead. The surrounding zombies didn't care about that; roaring, they rushed forward and began to devour him.
Ling Feng turned his head to look at the other person on the ground and said: "It's one thing to cause big trouble and not repent, but you're still spouting nonsense here."
As he spoke, Ling Feng's gaze grew colder and colder, looking at the remaining person completely as if he were looking at a dead man!
"No, no, no, don't, I was wrong, spare me!" The man started sitting on the ground and backing away, his face full of fear of death; he didn't want to die.
"I won't yell anymore, I'll do whatever you tell me to do, I beg you."
"I must make an example of you. I don't want my camp to be filled later with good-for-nothings like you who can't even compare to a woman when encountering trouble, only screaming and causing problems."
Finished speaking, Ling Feng likewise bent down, grabbed him by the neck, and walked toward the door.
Sang-hwa and the others all stepped aside, and no one spoke up to plead for mercy, because there were still zombies all around outside, and the reason they hadn't escaped danger themselves was entirely because of these two.
It was already pretty good that they didn't finish the other person off with their own hands!
After the already dead man outside was devoured completely by the zombies, they rushed toward the door again. Ling Feng smashed open the zombies at the door once more, pulled the destroyed shelves on both sides over, and barricaded the entrance again.
"Hidden dangers cleared, start clearing the zombies!"
The zombies outside were shot dead one by one by Li Bingbing and the others above. Ling Feng retreated to the side and watched the few of them.
Sang-hwa and the others nodded, took their weapons, and blocked the front of the door again to start clearing them. The corpses at the door were piling up more and more, higher and higher, gradually covering the ground to a height of half a meter, almost reaching the height of the table.
The zombies began to impact the shelves. Ling Fengglanced at the fully focused group, raised his hand to shoot out spider silk to fix several points on the shelves, making sure the zombies couldn't knock them open.
The more they killed, the more excited they became, shifting step by step from initial fear, worry, calmness, to excitement.
So killing zombies was this simple?
The weapons in the hands of several people began to show signs of wear, and the three women on the roof were even more excited; they were getting more and more the hang of it.
At a distance of two meters, they were almost able to kill a zombie with just two shots.
Their feel for it was getting better and better, and the empty cartridge cases around them clattered onto the roof beside them.
"Awesome!" Li Bingbing unloaded the emptied magazine in her hand, replaced it with one fully loaded with bullets, and smiled at the other two women beside her who were also flushed and excited:
"Don't just focus on the thrill, find your rhythm, bullets can't be wasted indiscriminately!"
"No problem, Sister Bing!" Lee Ji-eun stealthily flipped off the burst-fire safety switch next to her; she wanted to fire a whole magazine.
'Pfft, pfft, pfft~'
Lee Ji-eun pulled the trigger, and for a moment she could barely control the gun. The muzzle drifted upward slightly as Lee Ji-eun couldn't quite keep it pressed down during the burst fire.
Li Bingbing and Hye-young, who were beside her, simultaneously reached out to grab the rifle in her hands.
"Let go!"
Li Bingbing grabbed the gun and shouted lowly at Zhien.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. After two 'click, click' sounds, the 30 bullets in the magazine had been emptied.
The two women wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and looked speechlessly at Lee Ji-eun: "From now on, you are not allowed to use burst fire!"
"Mm-hm, I definitely won't use it anymore." Lee Ji-eunknew she had made a mistake and decisively and obediently lowered her head to apologize.
"Sigh~"
Li Bingbing sighed. When would this girl ever grow up a bit? She was so mischievous.
39Chapter 39 Return to Camp!
Ling Feng's mouth twitched as he looked at the row of bullet holes on the fire truck, and at the same time, he overheard the conversation from the roof.
He was already helpless; that girl really just did whatever made her happy.
Grabbing a box of nails from the side, he held them in his hand and kept throwing them outward. Zombie after zombie fell to the ground, and his killing speed was not a bit slower than the three women using guns on the roof; in fact, it was even much faster.
Before long, the box of nails was used up, and the horde of zombies outside was completely wiped out!
"Wait!"
Raising his hand to stop Sang-hwa, who was about to step forward to clear out the zombies, Ling Feng shouted exasperatedly.
"What is it?"
"Did you forget what I said earlier! There might still be one or two living ones among these zombies."
"Even if there aren't, the broken bones of the zombies outside, even if they just scratch a tiny wound, will cause an infection!" Ling Feng said with extreme seriousness regarding the severity of the matter.
"I… I understand. What should we do now?" Sang-hwagave a troubled look at the zombie corpses that were blocking the doorway.
After looking around, Ling Feng said, "All of you, step back!"
Then, they saw Ling Feng walk up to the table used to block the door, place both hands on it, and push it hard outward as if turning a blind eye to everything, walking as easily as if he were just taking a normal stroll.
The corpses outside were also pushed away. Grabbing the corner of the table and spinning around, he directly swept the corpses to both sides, completely clearing out the doorway.
Sang-hwa and the others walked out and looked at the corpses pushed to both sides, many of whose bones were exposed. The mere thought of accidentally getting scratched by them instantly sent shivers down their spines.
"Ling Feng, can we come down now?" Li Bingbing poked her head out from the roof and asked.
"Yes, wait for me to carry you down. We'll take a look at the supermarket one last time, and then we can head back!"
Ling Feng leaped up to the roof, hugged the two of them, and brought them down. Just as he was about to go back up, Li Bingbing on the roof said, "Catch me!"
She then jumped straight down. Opening his arms to catch her, Ling Feng gave a bitter smile and said, "How did you start learning to be playful like Zhien?"
Li Bingbing, having landed, suddenly smiled and said, "You have to admit, this feeling of not having to put on airs and acting without any scruples is really not bad."
He glanced worriedly at Sister Bing; she wouldn't want to become the second brainless Lee Ji-eun, right…
"Alright, alright, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Seeing that Ling Feng still wanted to say something, Li Bingbing quickly interrupted, "Aren't we still going to the supermarket? Let's go early and get back early!"
"Then let's go." With eyes full of doting affection, he glanced at her and led the others toward the neighboring supermarket. Kara didn't go to the roof; instead, she stayed inside the house with Sang-hwa and the others.
"There is a pretty decent-sized supermarket just ahead," Kara said, pointing forward.
"Then let's go over and see what's left!"
The group walked in the direction Kara pointed, and in less than two minutes, they saw the supermarket she mentioned. It was slightly larger than the supermarket where they first met Kara's family. The space inside could be seen from end to end at a glance; no zombies or other people were seen. It seemed it was still their lucky day.
To be honest, he even thought about simply moving across the bridge into the town, but alas… with his meager manpower, they couldn't even manage patrols, let alone guards.
With a creak, Ling Feng pushed open the door and walked in first, followed closely by Li Bingbing and the other two women. They trusted their man to the extent that they would jump directly off a cliff if he said so.
It was a mess with various foods scattered on the floor, but there were still plenty of supplies left behind.
"Prioritize moving rice, seasonings, and food!" After scanning the area, Ling Feng gave the order.
"Yes!"
Credit where credit is due, America people were quite good in this respect—they didn't really like eating rice, so the two shelves of rice in the supermarket were still sitting there untouched.
As for bread and the like, almost all of it had been cleaned out.
This worked out in favor of Ling Feng and the others. Bag after bag of rice was moved back onto the truck, and after finishing, there was still plenty of space left to pack up donuts, potato chips, and various seasonings.
Taking advantage of the time the others were moving things, Ling Feng came to the fire truck that had the mattress on its roof earlier. Lifting both hands, he shot out spider silk to thoroughly secure it to the roof.
"This way, we won't have to worry about it falling off!" Ling Feng nodded in satisfaction, leaned against the side of the truck, and took out a cigarette.
After taking a deep drag, he looked at the dazzling pool of blood on the side of the other fire truck, glanced at it briefly, and then withdrew his gaze.
People who deserved to die would die no matter what.
To reiterate, in the apocalypse, kill the saints first!
He had also figured it out: he was fully capable of living comfortably in this world with three… three and a half of his own women, plus the people brought back from the instance dungeon. Anyone who dared to act up in front of him would be killed directly!
Coincidentally, there were more people in the camp now, and a lot of supplies were needed. If it were just the few of them, a casual trip out wouldn't just last a month; at the very least, they wouldn't need to leave the house for half a month.
Of course, that was impossible; he couldn't pour all his effort into doing everything himself.
"What are you thinking about, Ling Feng?" Li Bingbingwalked over and asked, looking at him.
"Nothing much, just thinking that having more people is a bit troublesome."
"Troublesome?"
Li Bingbing thought back to when there were only three of them at the beginning—herself, Lee Ji-eun, and Ling Feng. Just the supplies in that car alone meant they didn't need to risk entering the city for a long time.
But now, Ling Feng was going out almost every day, and the risk factor was also accumulating. Even though Ling Feng was Spider-Man, she was just afraid that one day they would encounter an unavoidable crisis.
"Then what should we do in the future? Should we change people to go out?" Li Bingbing actually didn't care much about the safety of anyone other than the three of them. To be honest, she was a relatively rational or cold-blooded person.
"No need. If I don't follow, we will probably lose personnel every time. Once they are thoroughly familiar with these zombies, we'll let them lead their own teams outside!"
"You mean Sang-hwa and Yongguk?"
Ling Feng put his arm around Li Bingbing's waist and nodded. "Yes, you can trust those two; they are different from the others."
Li Bingbing was silent for a moment before saying, "I understand, I will try to trust them."
Ling Feng smiled and kissed her.
After the two of them chatted affectionately for a while, Sang-hwa walked over.
"Finished moving?" Ling Feng spoke up first.
"We can't fit any more. Even that van is packed full, except for four seats." Sang-hwa wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile.
"Then let's go, time to head back!"
Ling Feng did not let go of Sister Bing, but instead walked arm in arm with her toward the van. Sang-hwa glanced at the mattress covered in white filamentous material on top of the fire truck, said nothing, and turned to leave.
The survivors in the town watched the departing motorcade from near and far. Many of them recognized that this was the convoy driven by the person who entered the city yesterday and said they would take them away.
Now they could only watch with envy as the other party left with a large amount of supplies, not daring to chase after them at all. After all, they couldn't run as fast as zombies.
Regret—they felt incomparable regret as to why they hadn't decided to leave with the other party at that time.
Unfortunately, there was no such thing as a regret pill in this world.
Chapter 40: Newcomers Only Get a One-Month Adjustment Period!
After returning to the camp...
The convoy stopped at the bridge entrance, and Ling Fengled everyone out of the vehicle, looking at the surrounding crowd and shouting, 'Back up!'
"These supplies will be distributed according to need and quotas, not based on who grabs them first. Those who don't get any will have to wait for the next time!"
The group slowly stepped back and stopped their scramble.
Chef! Come over and move the food first! Two people go help. Ling Feng pointed at Han Zhe, the chef not far away.
"Coming, Boss."
The chef happily carried away all the rice, seasonings, and even quite a bit of frozen meat from the vehicle. The disaster in the town had only broken out two or three days ago, so electricity and water were still working; otherwise, if he had the time, he would have taken a thorough bath no matter what.
Bags of rice were moved beneath the wooden counter of the open-air kitchen, followed by various seasonings. As a chef, he was quite happy. Looking at the seasonings, he thought to himself that he could finally display his full strength!
Ling Feng looked up at the top of the elevated structure and said to Yongguk, 'Take a few people and bring the tarpaulins and oilcloth up to cover it!'
"Alright, Brother Ling." Yongguk obediently stepped forward, took the tarps, called a few people, and started climbing up.
Frowning slightly, Ling Feng casually spoke, 'Later, use wood to build a sturdier staircase on the frame. Going up and down is still a bit inconvenient, and the top will definitely be used for guard duty in the future!'
"Got it. I will take people to do it in a moment."
Sang-hwa naturally took over the conversation. He was well aware that he definitely counted as one of the core members of the entire camp, especially since he knew the terrifying nature of the attached condition of one-hundred-percent loyalty.
Nodding, Ling Feng quickly distributed the bedding he brought back this time.
He requested two mattresses, four quilts, and pillows for his own cab, and then one mattress, two quilts, and two pillows for each small compartment on the train! After everything on the vehicle was distributed, there were still over a dozen mattresses and more than thirty sets of quilts and pillows left. The wooden cabins were not enough right now, so even if he wanted to distribute them, there was nowhere to put them.
"Everyone has seen that after the mattresses and such are distributed, there should still be enough for everyone! But our wooden cabins are not enough, so these next few days we need to step up the construction of the camp, including setting up the surrounding walls and obstacles on both sides."
"I will take people for daily scavenging. Those of you staying in the camp don't have to take that risk, so you need to pay even more attention to the camp's affairs!"
Ling Feng scanned everyone around him and stated his demands. He truly didn't expect this group of people to make any major contributions, but at least they could help do a bit more work while he was away!
"Boss Ling!" A shout suddenly rang out from the crowd below.
The surrounding people stepped aside one after another, revealing the man who had called out.
"What is it?"
"Where are Mike and the other guy?" The man couldn't find his two friends and had no other choice but to call out; otherwise, he really didn't want to attract the boss's attention.
"Mike?" Ling Feng was extremely puzzled. The driver beside him whispered an explanation that they were the two men he had killed earlier.
"Oh~ You mean them!" Ling Feng had a sudden realization, then looked at the man calmly and said, "Killed."
"Killed?"
"Hey, hey, hey, those are two human lives! You just killed them like that?"
"Isn't the boss a bit too cruel?"
"Maybe there are unspeakable difficulties?"
Assorted discussions came from all around. Ling Fengdidn't stop them either, instead waiting for them to discuss.
The sound of discussion went from noisy at first to quieter and quieter, finally returning to calm as everyone looked at him wanting to know the answer.
"Finished talking?"
"Since you're done talking, it's my turn!"
Ling Feng's gaze was somewhat indifferent. Just that single glance made everyone's hair stand on end. This was the oppression brought by a difference in life tiers. Having long since stopped being purely human, he naturally possessed a sense of oppression toward this group of people, or rather, all humans.
"You can be foolish, but you cannot be stupid!"
"Not only did you start screaming when encountering three zombies, attracting hundreds of zombies, but even after being warned, you kept screaming and refused to repent."
"You're even worse than a woman, and yet you turn around and say it's my problem?"
"You don't even dare to face zombies, and you expect me to protect you all the time?"
"Starting today, I'm setting a rule! Every newly joined newcomer only gets a one-month adjustment and adaptation period!"
"A month from now, I don't care whether you can kill zombies or not; whoever's turn it is to go out with the team will go!"
As he spoke, Ling Feng turned his spider-sense up to maximum. He wanted to see if there were any shady people harboring malice toward him.
If there were any, he would find a chance to kill them directly.
"B... But, killing them directly is a bit... too..."
"Too cruel?" Ling Feng let out a scoff. "In the apocalypse, kill the saints first. I don't need any unstable factors!"
"If you don't know how, you can learn, and you can be taught, but courage is something you need to practice yourselves. If you don't want to die outside a month from now, you'd better practice your nerve well. Usually, follow Sang-hwa to properly practice firearms usage and basic combat!"
"We... understand..."
"If Boss Ling didn't have us, he could live even better! Don't fail to appreciate your blessings while living in them." Karastepped forward and shouted loudly.
"Right! Kara is right. It's not like we don't know the boss's ability. Being able to bring dozens of us out of the town, without us he could definitely live even better!"
"Yeah, back then we could only wait for death."
More and more people began to agree with Ling Feng's view: it's fine if you act stupid yourself, but don't drag others down.
Ling Feng looked at Kara, and the latter nodded indignantly. She knew Ling Feng's strength and didn't want to end up angering Ling Feng away, otherwise they would really only be able to survive by scavenging garbage.
Ling Feng led Sister Bing and the other two women back into the cab. Ling Feng, sitting on the side, took out a cigarette and puffed away loudly.
"Are you alright, Ling Feng?" Li Bingbing worriedly came over, sat down beside Ling Feng, and her eyes were filled with care.
"I'm fine, don't worry. I wouldn't stoop to getting angry with them." Ling Feng chuckled lightly and pinched Sister Bing's waist.
"Good thing you're fine. I'm going to help make the bed." Li Bingbing was already starting to imagine things for tonight.
On the other end, Seong-kyeong, although staying in the vehicle, was also paying attention to the situation outside. She glanced at her husband who was helping to distribute supplies and direct, then stood up and walked toward the cab.
'Click', the door opened.
Ling Feng looked at Seong-kyeong as she came in and asked, 'Why are you here?'
"Come over to take a look, worried about you." Seong-kyeong didn't avoid the presence of the other three women and stated it straightforwardly.
This also caught Li Bingbing's attention. Frowning, she glanced at Seong-kyeong and then at Ling Feng's expression, which looked as usual. Thinking it must be her own illusion, she lowered her head and continued tidying the bedding.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, Ling Feng raised his hand, grabbed Seong-kyeong's small hand, pulled her to sit beside him, and placed his left hand behind her, stroking her soft, plump big ass.
Not knowing if it was because of her pregnancy, she felt quite plump and fleshy, and the feel was exceptionally great.
