Although the two groups were temporarily together, they couldn't cooperate at all because of their past grievances. Whether fighting zombies or resting, they did their own thing.
It was noon, and the two groups of people were eating not far apart.
Seeing that Lu Fei and the others hadn't even brought any supplies, Qingyan Base knew they'd be starving and would have to beg them for food. They thought, "We'll humiliate them then."
As a result, they watched helplessly as Lu Fei purified the ferocious mutated chicken, and then released water for everyone to wash up.
The people at Qingyan Base immediately widened their eyes. Holy crap, isn't she a purification type? How can she still produce water?
While Gu Changge was roasting chicken, Lu Fei suddenly produced a bunch of snacks from somewhere and started munching on them.
"Gudong!"
"I didn't believe it when I heard from other people at the base that Lu Fei could purify plants and animals, but now I have to say she's really amazing."
I haven't had chicken in four years; I've almost forgotten what it tastes like.
The people at Qingyan Base were munching on compressed biscuits and sipping their allotted water, their noses filled with the aroma of roasted chicken and the crunchy sound of Lu Fei eating potato chips.
"Hmph, I'm not tempted. That roast chicken would definitely be sour."
Li Chen refused to back down, stubborn as a mule. Even after choking on compressed biscuits until his neck was almost as long as a giraffe's, he still wouldn't admit it.
Looking at his younger brother's stubbornness, Li Luo really wanted to beat him to death and make him start over.
"Hey sis, come on over and have some roast chicken! Here's a big chicken leg for you!"
Gu Changge gave the first roasted chicken to Lu Fei, and after she had eaten her fill, the others divided the rest of the roasted chicken among themselves.
Seeing how juicy and delicious their food was, the people at Qingyan Base were practically drooling with envy.
That wasn't the most painful part. The main problem was that the walkie-talkie kept broadcasting how outstanding the Fire Base was, how Lu Xue saved people from danger, and how considerate and sensible she was. But it was as if the Qingyan Base had been forgotten, with no mention of coming to provide rescue.
At first, Li Chen deceived himself, thinking that Xuexue was just too busy to remember. But later, as he heard her saying the same comforting words to other men, his heart began to sink.
Two days passed, and Lu Xue seemed to have forgotten about him. On the contrary, those from other bases who were close to them would call them over the walkie-talkie.
Seeing that no one was responding, they even started planning to send a rescue team this way.
With so many people discussing this, Li Chen didn't believe Lu Xue hadn't heard a single thing, but she just didn't respond.
Seeing Li Chen becoming increasingly irritable, Lu Fei seemed to have found an interesting game and spent her days imitating Lu Xue's way of speaking to provoke him.
"Oh dear, Brother Li Chen~ Why are you unhappy? Did your Xuexue leave you? Look at the clouds in the sky, do they have the words 'I am your godmother' written on them?"
"Wow, Brother Li Chen is so amazing! He can even fight such powerful zombies. I bet he's also very smart. He won't be completely fooled by Xue Xue!"
"The chicks are so cute, how can we eat them? I'm not that vicious woman Lu Xue, who wants to kill others but sends the innocent victim to his death. Hmph~ Let's just feed them to the human-eating flowers."
The more Li Chen listened to Lu Fei, the more prominent the veins on his forehead became. He was holding his breath, hoping that Lu Xue would definitely come.
He won't admit defeat until the very last second.
And so, enduring this ordeal until the third day, Li Chen's complexion could be described as constipated for a month. The resentment emanating from him was so intense that even a passing dog would kick him, let alone a zombie.
Moreover, during these three days, Lu Fei kept brainwashing the people at the Qingyan base.
They got their zombie kills stolen by Lu Fei, so it's Li Chen's fault. If it weren't for him, Qingyan Base wouldn't be here suffering this humiliation.
They ran out of water, and seeing Lu Fei happily drinking her water, she said it was Li Chen's fault, otherwise they would have reached the supply station by now.
They were constantly being ambushed by the mutated carnivorous plants. Lu Fei would purify them while telling them to blame Li Chen. If he hadn't acted like a big shot, he wouldn't have offended her and taken his anger out on them.
He said this dozens of times a day, and the people at the Qingyan base had quite a few complaints about Li Chen.
Especially Li Luo, who beat him up whenever he felt like it, making his already not-so-bright mind even worse.
"No, Xuexue won't abandon me. She said I'm the most manly man and the one who makes her feel the safest."
Li Chen was still arguing with Lu Fei until the very end, but she gave a cold smile, turned to her teammates, and started acting coquettishly.
"Brother Gu, you are the best man I have ever seen at playing with fire."
"Zhengyu~ You're the fastest man I've ever met~"
"Mo Yu, you are the most handsome boy I have ever seen!"
"Brother Cao, you're the most upright man I've ever met!"
"Da Bao, you're the smartest man I've ever met!"
Lu Fei finished speaking and turned to look at Li Chen provocatively.
"How about that? Do I need to say anything more? I've never seen anyone as love-struck as you. Just one sweet word from her and you're willing to risk your life for her."
"Lu Xue is really something else. A single sentence from her can make a man fight to the death for her. I'm different. With just one sentence from me, I can curse the other person's entire family, from their ancestors to their lineage."
Lu Fei glanced at her watch and realized that the agreed time was approaching, and Li Chen was destined to lose this bet.
Just then, a series of mixed footsteps approached, making Li Chen's eyes light up.
"Hahaha, did you hear that? There are footsteps. It must be Xuexue and the others coming to rescue me."
I told you Xuexue wouldn't be so heartless. Lu Fei, you lost. I'm going to drag you to Xuexue and make you kowtow and beg for forgiveness.
Li Chen cheered and jumped for joy, even doing a few somersaults. He was so agile that he could be a monkey with a tail on.
The long three-day wait almost made him believe Lu Fei's lies. Now that he could finally hold his head high, Li Chen quickly went to greet her.
However, he did not notice Lu Fei's mocking gaze.
Sure enough, the next second, Li Chen exclaimed in surprise.
"Luo Feiyu, it's you! Where's Xuexue? Where's my Xuexue? They must be behind us, right?"
"Li Chen, are you out of your mind? We came here to save you out of kindness, and instead of thanking us, you regret that it wasn't Lu Xue who came? Did a zombie eat your brain?"
Those from Phoenix Base who were on good terms with Li Chen started cursing. They rushed over without stopping, their legs were practically worn out, and this idiot was still thinking about that scheming green tea.
"Don't slander zombies! Even zombies don't eat his love-struck brains, what bad luck!"
"You guys need to tell her quickly where Xuexue went, or he'll turn into a statue waiting for his wife!"
Lu Fei smiled secretly at Luo Feiyu, whose eyes were full of doting affection as he took out several photos.
"She hasn't had time to come over these past few days. The day before yesterday, she and the people from the Tengshe base fell into a trap. Yesterday, she and the people from the Tiangang base went to find supplies. Today, it's said that she was proposed to by the people from the Freedom base."
The brightly lit photos all showed Lu Xue behaving intimately with men.
She was either throwing herself into a man's arms, or shyly adjusting someone's collar, or dancing wildly at a bonfire party, making the men's blood boil. Looking at the joy in her eyes, it seemed... I really didn't expect Li Chen.
"Waaaaah, no! No! Why did she do this to me?"
Li Chen knelt down, clutching the photo, and cried out in heart-wrenching sobs.
As Lu Fei watched this scene, she thought that if it snowed, the background music of "A Spray of Plum Blossoms" would come on.
Li Chen cried for more than half an hour after his young heart was trampled and abandoned.
Before anyone could comfort him, Lu Fei walked up to him with a loving smile.
"Come on, my good son, call me godmother."
