Steamed meat buns are too delicious!

Hearing the bearded man's words, Xue Feng nodded.

If he were in the bearded man's position, he would also think of finding a safe place first.

Otherwise, in an unfamiliar place where no one knows anyone, anyone could imagine what kind of dangers might lurk ahead.

Regardless, the bearded man and his companions were evolved ones, possessing a certain level of self-preservation capability when facing zombies.

Unlike ordinary survivors, they didn't cower from venturing into unknown territories.

"Brother, are you by yourself? If so, how about coming along with us?" The bearded man looked at Xue Feng and asked.

The bearded man held a very favorable impression of Xue Feng.

The man in front of him had saved their lives.

Moreover, Xue Feng hadn't demanded any conditions and had proactively given them the antidote.

Although they didn't know where Xue Feng had obtained the medicine, its potency clearly indicated it was an extremely precious item.

Before Xue Feng could answer, the bearded man's other two companions walked over.

They shook their heads, their faces full of disappointment.

"Didn't you find any food?" The bearded man asked in surprise.

In such a massive commercial street, they couldn't even find something to eat.

"The food has been scavenged clean almost everywhere, and we didn't expect that." The two men looked as if they were about to cry.

They had searched thoroughly and earnestly.

Yet they found absolutely nothing edible.

Even inside the restaurants along the street, there was nothing left to consume.

Only some rotting and moldy remnants remained.

They couldn't even find so much as a grain of rice.

"It seems this place is not meant for a long stay! The factions here are too powerful! Brother, you..." The bearded man wanted to ask about Xue Feng's intentions again.

Just then, he saw Xue Feng pull out a pile of food from nowhere.

Everything tumbled onto the ground.

The bearded man's eyes widened. What he saw wasn't just neatly packaged food.

There were actually steamed buns and similar items among them.

These were genuine steamed buns!

Even back in River Town, the bearded man couldn't afford to eat steamed buns.

They belonged to the category of true luxuries!

Resources were scarce in the apocalypse, and there were plenty of foods more efficient in stretching rations than steamed buns.

Very few people would choose to eat them!

That would simply be a waste.

"Eat up, don't be shy. We can talk after we finish eating," Xue Feng said.

Whenever Xue Feng went out nowadays, he naturally carried food prepared by the cafeteria.

Such as steamed buns or other convenient ready-to-eat items.

The bearded man could tell that Xue Feng's words carried deeper meaning.

However, they couldn't care less about that right now.

One by one, they picked up the steamed buns and shoved them desperately into their mouths.

To their sheer astonishment, they discovered the buns had meat fillings!

With a single bite, the juices and oil overflowed in their mouths.

Meat filling!

They were actually able to eat meat-filled steamed buns with so much rich gravy inside.

At that moment, the bearded man and the others felt like eating their own fingers.

It was simply too delicious!

In the blink of an eye, over twenty steamed buns were completely devoured.

The bearded man and his companions all wore expressions of lingering longing.

Evolved ones naturally had larger appetites than ordinary people.

Furthermore, they hadn't eaten anything ever since leaving River Town.

Only when the food slid down their throats did they realize how starved they truly were.

"There are still some things here, help yourselves."

Then, as if performing magic, Xue Feng dug out another pile of food from his backpack.

It consisted mostly of plain steamed buns and salted vegetables.

Yet, to the bearded man and the others, these were still heavenly delicacies.

Soon, each of them ate quite a bit more before reluctantly stopping.

After all, this food belonged to Xue Feng.

Not only had he saved their lives, but now they had eaten so much of his provisions!

Each of them felt deeply embarrassed.

"Um, brother, if you have something to say, just say it," the bearded man said, wiping his mouth.

"Actually, it's nothing much. Since you don't have a place to go, how about joining my base?" Xue Feng smiled faintly.

"Your base? Brother, following you is not a problem, but won't that cause a conflict with the strongest boss in Jiangcheng?" The bearded man still harbored some concerns.

Ever since his first bite of the steamed bun, he had already made up his mind.

He would agree to whatever condition Xue Feng proposed.

Joining Xue Feng's camp posed no issue for him either.

After all, following Xue Feng meant having steamed buns to eat.

By now, the bearded man could tell that Xue Feng was no ordinary person.

Otherwise, how could he so casually share such food with them?

This was the apocalypse!

No amount of money could buy these large steamed buns.

His only worry was whether doing so might disrupt the balance.

And end up bringing trouble to Xue Feng instead.

"Oh, didn't I tell you? I am the strongest person in Jiangcheng, and I am the boss here," Xue Feng said calmly.

The bearded man and the others were utterly dumbfounded.

What!

The most powerful figure in Jiangcheng right now was actually the young man standing right before them!

A ruthless character who had united all of Jiangcheng under his rule.

And prior to this, they hadn't even the slightest inkling of it.

"You... you..." For a moment, the bearded man didn't know what to say.

"If you follow me, you will have food to eat. Moreover, although my base is conducting research on zombies, we certainly don't feed zombies with living humans. Every survivor in the apocalypse has value," Xue Feng stated.

Right now at Xue Feng's base, Nie Xiaoyue had already launched a new research project.

Which was to analyze the data left behind by the previous director.

To see if it was possible to replicate the super serum and manufacture more evolved ones.

And it wasn't just about replicating the super serum; the most crucial part was finding out whether the side effects could be resolved.

Xue Feng believed there was a glimmer of hope.

After all, the director had once claimed that he would eventually solve the problem of side effects.

"Brother... Boss, I'm with you!" The bearded man nodded heavily.

Then he turned to consult the opinions of the others.

The rest nodded one after another; at this point, what was there to hesitate about?

Xue Feng had not only saved their lives but also treated them to a hearty meal.

Most importantly, he had shown genuine goodwill.

Making them realize that Jiangcheng's boss and the factory director were cut from entirely different cloths.

"Good! Follow me back to the base first, and someone will explain the base rules to you later," Xue Feng nodded.

The bearded man and his group were getting ready to board their van.

Xue Feng simply waved his hand, signaling that there was no need for that.

Then, right before their astonished gazes, the apocalyptic armored vehicle materialized out of thin air.

Looking at this ferocious iron beast, the emotions of the bearded man and the others could no longer be described as mere shock.

They had completely entered a state of dazed disbelief.

How on earth was this even possible!

No wonder this man could become the boss of Jiangcheng; he held far too many secrets!

The black panther was the first to leap into the passenger seat, seemingly declaring to the bearded man and the others that its status was higher than theirs since they were mere newcomers.

Xue Feng could not help but laugh and cry at this, having to gently pat the panther on the head.

As for the bearded man and the others, they raised no objections whatsoever; merely being allowed onto the vehicle was already an supreme honor.
