The road to the back door is considered useless.
Xiao Feng wiped off a cold sweat with lingering fear in his heart.
If it weren't for the restaurant 's special privilege skill, Xiao Feng estimated he might have already become a corpse there.
The virus outbreak has been going on for so long; who knows how many zombies have mutated.
That little girl is at least a third-tier zombie.
In fact, this is not an exaggeration. A few days ago, Xiao Feng saw a giant zombie in the city center, over ten meters in size, wielding a steel pole as a weapon.
With one swing, it caused an explosion even helicopters wouldn't survive.
Boom, boom, boom!
Just at this moment, a low knocking sound came from outside.
"Who's there!"
Xiao Feng grumbled unhappily.
"There are actually people inside!"
"I thought those guys were trying to trick us!"
"I can't believe it. In the center of the fallen Yu Lin City, there's still someone running a restaurant!"
...
Outside, an excited discussion ensued.
Xiao Feng walked over and opened the door. Outside, there were three men and one woman.
The three men held submachine guns equipped with silencers, while the woman was unarmed, with an icy expression, showing no hint of a smile.
"Boss, can we come in?"
One of the skinny guys, who seemed to think he was friendly, said with a smile.
"Come in!"
Xiao Feng took a step aside, allowing the four of them to enter.
Once the four of them came in, they looked around the restaurant.
"Boss, you're quite something, opening a restaurant in the city center!"
"It's really our luck. If others want to eat your food, they'd have to risk their lives out there!"
"Boss, I heard that your buns can restore energy, is that true?"
The four of them sat down, chatting away.
Xiao Feng took out some cups and poured glasses of water. "Right now, I only have buns. Would you like some?"
"Sure!"
The leader of the skinny guys agreed without hesitation. "We've heard about your restaurant at Shelter No. 9!"
"First things first, one bun is worth 20 energy. Don't complain it's expensive later!"
Xiao Feng clarified the price in advance.
"So expensive?"
Right away, another guy, a bit on the heavier side, exclaimed. "In the shelter, you can get two baskets of buns for that price!"
"Can your buns really restore energy?"
Xiao Feng said indifferently.
After that, he went into the kitchen.
Seeing Xiao Feng go inside, the three of them huddled together.
"What do you think? Should we take action?"
"Let's wait for now. This guy can run a restaurant in the midst of hundreds of thousands of zombies; he's definitely not an ordinary person!"
"Reports from the shelter say this guy can't even be shot by bullets!"
"It's all right; we've got Big Sis here! Big Sis is at the third-tier of evolution!"
Saying this, the three men looked at the woman.
"But what if he poisoned the buns?"
Just then, the woman they referred to as Big Sis spoke up.
"Right!"
The three of them slammed their hands on the table, looking worried.
"Here come the buns!"
Xiao Feng's voice came from the kitchen. The three of them immediately sat up straight, pretending nothing had happened.
"Boss, you're not making human buns, are you?"
The woman looked at Xiao Feng with a teasing smile.
"What are you saying? This is first-grade Razorback goat meat. If you don't believe me, try it!"
Xiao Feng picked up a bun, tore it open, and released a fragrant meat aroma.
The other three immediately swallowed hard.
"Then you should try one first to show us!"
The leader of the skinny guys grabbed one from the basket and handed it over.
"You've really treated my place as a black market, huh?"
Xiao Feng accepted the bun, took a bite without hesitation, and swallowed it.
Seeing that Xiao Feng was perfectly fine, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, how did you guys get in?" Xiao Feng sat down, poured a glass of water, and started chatting with them.
"There are hundreds of thousands of zombies outside! You're just four people!"
"You didn't know?" The leader, a skinny man, looked at Xiao Feng in surprise.
"The sewers in this city are connected to the outside. Although there are mutated rats, it's still quite safe if you're cautious!"
"The sewers?" Xiao Feng's eyes widened suddenly.
"Why didn't I think of that!"
"What's up? Do you want to go out? Not running the resturant here anymore?"
One person asked while eating voraciously.
"I must say, the taste of your buns is amazing. If you open a restaurant back in the shelter, it will be a huge success!"
"No, recently I developed a new dish called 'Braised Bloodfang Wild Boar Kunckle.' After eating it, it can heal injuries and significantly boost attack power!" Xiao Feng said without hesitation.
"Because my evolutionary ability involves cooking, the food I make can offer substantial enhancements!"
"You're a life evolver?" The four people asked in astonishment.
"Yes!" Xiao Feng nodded.
"You, a life evolver, are running a restaurant in the midst of hundreds of thousands of zombies? Aren't you afraid of being eaten by the zombies outside?" They couldn't believe it.
"Hehe, my restaurant here is safe!" Xiao Feng boasted.
Hearing this, the four individuals exchanged glances, then looked at Xiao Feng maliciously.
Click, click, click!
In an instant, three submachine guns were aimed at Xiao Feng.
Bang, bang, bang!
Gunshots rang out, and numerous bullets mercilessly struck Xiao Feng.
These people were really going all out!
At the same time, the woman beside them also made her move.
At the moment she acted, the temperature in the entire restaurant instantly dropped.
A chill rushed toward Xiao Feng, freezing him into an ice sculpture.
Ratatat!
Bullets kept hitting Xiao Feng, shattering the ice covering him.
However, when the ice shards fell, Xiao Feng remained unharmed, standing intact before them.
Seeing Xiao Feng's mischievous smile, the three armed men aiming at him were stunned.
"This doesn't kill him?"
"Ice Spears!"
The woman's expression turned grave; she moved her hands rapidly, conjuring dozens of ice spears in the air and thrusting them fiercely toward Xiao Feng.
Yet, the ice spears hit an invisible barrier, turning into ice shards that fell to the ground.
"Move away!"
At that moment, the leader, skinny men, pulled out a grenade from his waist.
Seeing the grenade, the other three immediately leaped away.
He removed the safety pin and threw the grenade at Xiao Feng's feet.
Boom!
The explosion's sound resonated, and the powerful shockwave flipped over the surrounding tables.
However, Xiao Feng stood firmly in place like a rock.
"You guys came for buns and end up flipping tables?!"
Xiao Feng looked helpless as he picked up the fallen buns from the ground, blew on them, and put them in his mouth.
"Wow! This guy can't be killed?"
The group looked disheartened, holding their guns, appearing somewhat at a loss.
"Let's go!"
Only the woman quickly snapped out of her shock, turned, and rushed towards the door.
Bang!
As she reached the door, the two wooden doors slammed shut.
Bang!
The woman kicked the seemingly fragile wooden doors hard.
But in the next moment, as if kicking an iron plate, she was forcefully pushed back by the door's immense strength.
Seeing the woman fall at his feet, Xiao Feng's flip-flops landed right on her face.
