"Cough, cough, want to join us for a meal? It’s getting dark!"

Bai Anhai tentatively asked.

"Today it’s Brother Leng’s turn to cook! I want sweet and sour fish. Uncle Leng, what would you like?" Bai Yifan grinned broadly.

Bai Yifan is a kind-hearted good kid.

The Base Commander rubbed his fingers together and sneaked a glance at Leng Yebai.

Never expected that despite not having raised his son much, he could still enjoy a meal cooked by him!

Really blessed!

"I..." The Base Commander was just about to say he’d eat anything.

"He’s not hungry."

Leng Yebai’s voice sounded softly.

The Base Commander patted his empty stomach and swallowed, "Hmm, I’m not hungry."

Clearly the Base Commander who could outlast the Zombie King now sitting on the sofa, had a pitiful look.

Leng Yebai glanced at the Base Commander and then headed towards the kitchen on his own.

Even if he didn’t want to cook for that person, he still had to cook for Xiao Niu. Xiao Niu eats a lot, a meal isn’t complete without it. If Xiao Niu were hungry, Leng Yebai would feel very distressed.

Thinking of this, Leng Yebai decided not to dwell on random thoughts.

The aroma of the food soon filled the entire bus.

During cooking, Bai Yifan leisurely drove the bus to their parking spot, somehow the green garbage truck had returned too.

Wang Liu, the two old men, saw the Base Commander sitting in the bus and wisely chose not to disturb.

Mainly because the garbage truck accidentally broke a gate at the safety base, afraid that the Base Commander was here to collect!

Wang Liu, the two old men, could still recognize the Base Commander’s power, especially since when he appeared, he killed many Zombie Dogs.

No matter how brave and skilled, Wang Liu decided to stay low-profile in front of the Base Commander.

Mainly because, they couldn’t beat him.

Inside the bus.

The Base Commander claimed not to be hungry but didn’t leave the bus, instead he took a small stool and sat by the door.

He sat there, sat there, yet his eyes were restless.

Clearly a fierce gaze, yet stealthily watching people cook.

More subtle than a pitiful young lady chasing a man.

Afraid others know, yet acting like they don’t notice...

Concealing it, yet not completely hidden.

...It seemed a bit sly.

Leng Yebai was mentally strong, completely unaffected, making dishes in the pot with exquisite color, fragrance, and taste.

Soon, the dishes that could make neighboring children cry with craving were ready.

Outside, it was completely dark, the trembling fear from Zombie Dog attacking the safety base had completely vanished, the collapsed wall filled solidly by Earth Ability Users.

What reassures the survivors most, is the Base Commander’s strength.

In a blink, he could wipe out Zombie Dog packs, comparable to legendary immortals.

With such a powerful figure as the Base Commander, what dangers can exist in the safety base?

Within a few minutes of appearing, the Base Commander’s image rose significantly in the safety base.

About the Base Commander’s terrifying strength, most people had never seen first-hand, only knew from tales.

Many people still didn’t believe.

Now seeing with their own eyes, the Base Commander instantly became the god of the entire safety base, survivors mentioning him would rise in reverence, full of awe.

Yet the Base Commander, greatly revered by thousands of survivors, was pitifully crouching on a stool, eagerly watching the direction of the living room.

The Bai Family had already sat on the sofa, but hadn’t picked up chopsticks to eat, glancing at the Base Commander, then at Leng Yebai.

If they sat heartlessly eating while letting the Base Commander watch, wouldn’t that be a bit mean?

"Base Commander, why not join us for some food?"

Bai Anhai gently coughed.

Pity parents’ hearts worldwide, the Base Commander must have spent a long time finding Leng Yebai, such a stern person yet putting down all hostility here meant he still had feelings for his son.

"I..."

The Base Commander stood up from the stool, rubbing his hands he walked towards the table.

"He’s not hungry, let’s eat."

Leng Yebai looked at the Base Commander expressionlessly, then picked a dish for Bai Xiqin.

The Base Commander paused his steps, but since he had already stood up, to dissolve the awkwardness, he stretched lazily, then sat back on the stool.

As long as he’s not awkward, it’s others who are.

"I’m really not that hungry." The Base Commander touched his nose, trying hard not to look at the dishes on the table.

But the aroma was so fragrant, no way to ignore directly.

The key point is, though he’s the Base Commander, usual meals aren’t this good, just ordinary dishes.

But the Bai Family’s meals are really great, almost all meat and fish, crucially also visually and aromatically appealing!

He greatly admires his son, managing to find such a family as a live-in son-in-law!

—He just wanted to ask, if his son becomes a son-in-law, can he tag along as part of the dowry?

"Then, let’s start eating."

Bai Anhai patted his belly, deciding to start the meal.

The father and son feud aside, can’t let them skip meals!

At most, he’d eat quieter, try not to smack lips!

"Smack, smack, so delicious!"

Bai Yifan’s lip-smacking sound was quite loud.

Normally Bai Yifan eats somewhat elegantly, who knew today Leng Yebai cooked his favorite sweet and sour fish.

This temporary indulgence led to endless food praises.

The Base Commander silently picked at his fingers, pretending not to hear.

"Ah, this braised pork is great, though frozen and reheated, the sauce is rich!"

Bai Zhengxuan chewed on the pork with a face of satisfaction.

The space has many ready and steaming braised porks, usually inconvenient to take out, so some were frozen.

For eating, just steam it up directly.

Normally Bai Zhengxuan eats freshly cooked ones, occasionally enjoying the frozen ones for different flavors.

"Slurp, slurp――"

Bai Anhai completely forgot he just said he’d eat quietly.

The slurping shrimp tails sound was enough to let the Base Commander know how many he’d eaten!

A meal concluded.

Although the Base Commander didn’t eat, he learned about his son’s culinary skills.

Braised pork made tender, chewy, non-greasy, spicy shrimp tails, sweet and sour fish crispy outside soft inside, ribs tenderly falling off bone...

He didn’t eat, but he heard the Bai Family’s shameless praises!

Leng Yebai didn’t bother with the Base Commander, after the Bai Family finished eating, cleaned up the table scraps and promptly wiped the dishes spotless.

The Base Commander watched Leng Yebai and felt a bit emotional.

This kid, though not growing up with him, has a bit of his trace!

For instance, doing housework!

Back in the day, his wife was very picky with meals and disliked servants hovering all the time.

So, the wife’s daily life was basically managed by him...

Staring at that familiar face, the Base Commander felt somewhat dazed.

"When are you going to leave?"

Leng Yebai frowned looking at the Base Commander still seated at the door.

The Base Commander glanced outside, unconsciously, it had gotten dark, time to rest.
