Cooking Gourmet Meals in the Apocalypse

Chapter 152: Chapter 149: Seeing It Through to the End

Chen Xing took a step back, wanting them to get out and see for themselves.

But the women seemed scared, and not a single one was willing to get out to see what had happened.

"Don’t try to trick us into getting out!" The woman who had spoken before, who looked to be under thirty, had a face full of suspicion. "They said if we get out without their permission, they’ll break our legs!"

With that, the woman stepped aside and pointed to a girl leaning against the body of the truck.

Her leg was splinted with two sticks. It was obviously broken.

The expression on the girl with the broken leg was more despair than pain.

’The apocalypse was already hard enough, and on top of that, she’d run into such utterly heartless people.’

"They’re already dead!" Chen Xing knew these people wouldn’t get out of the truck easily, so she just said, "I’ve left the door open for you!"

With that, she paid them no more mind and walked toward her own RV.

The women must have been truly terrified. Even now, not a single person had gotten out.

While the women were still hesitating, and as Chen Xing was walking toward her RV, another vehicle quickly pulled up and stopped behind the truck.

The girls were so scared they all shrank back, each one glad they hadn’t gotten out.

It was Black-faced Fish.

Most of these women had been captured by Black-faced Fish and thrown into the truck.

Every person thrown into the truck was given a single warning: Don’t get out!

The girl with the broken leg was terrified. She hid, barely daring to breathe, but she made no attempt to hide the hatred in her eyes.

Her leg had been brutally broken right in front of everyone.

That feeling of a living death was something she never wanted to experience again.

’More than that, I want to use all my strength to kill this man.’

Stepping out of his car, Black-faced Fish scanned the women in the truck as if they were cargo.

He seemed quite satisfied with their behavior.

"What’s the situation up ahead?" Black-faced Fish still hadn’t heard back from the men he’d sent to check things out, so he shouted the question.

But there was no reply.

The short-tempered Black-faced Fish shoved the door of the truck’s cargo container. Just as he was about to take a step, he saw Chen Xing approaching.

Her expressionless face radiated a deathly chill as she stared right at him.

"So you didn’t take my warning seriously? Looks like we’ll have to break those pretty legs of yours!" Black-faced Fish still hadn’t grasped the situation. He just assumed Chen Xing had secretly snuck out and had now been caught and brought back by his men.

Chen Xing’s gaze slowly drifted down, settling on Black-faced Fish’s legs, and she said, "Nice legs. What a pity!"

’I have to admit, the man’s legs are long and well-proportioned, like a model’s.’

’Dressed in a suit, he has a solid, upright build.’

’But... it’s all useless!’

’His character is rotten.’

"What did you say?" As if finally grasping something, Black-faced Fish’s guard went up.

A faint smile touched Chen Xing’s lips as she lunged forward.

At first, Black-faced Fish felt nothing. About two seconds later, a bloodcurdling scream tore from his throat.

He had collapsed to the ground, his forehead drenched in sweat from the agony.

The girls didn’t know what had happened; they just watched.

They didn’t even dare to step closer to see what had happened.

The impression Black-faced Fish had left on them was simply too vicious.

Chen Xing’s faint smile relaxed slightly. "I said it’s a pity about those long legs of yours!"

His entire body was shuddering in pain, his hands trembling as he felt for his legs, which wouldn’t stop bleeding.

His legs had been severed at the knee, and streams of blood gushed out like water from a faucet.

He desperately wished someone would save him from the Devil standing before him. ’But where are my men?’

’What about the men who went to check things out?’

Of course, they had been torn to shreds by Meng Hu.

Meng Hu had a knack for finishing people off before they could even let out a scream.

At this moment, one of the braver girls composed herself and moved to the edge of the doorway.

Upon seeing Black-faced Fish’s severed legs, she first sucked in a sharp breath.

Immediately, a look of glee spread across her face, and she quickly called out, "Black-faced Fish’s legs! She crippled him!" With that, she was the first to jump out of the truck.

Emboldened, the other girls also stepped forward one by one.

Seeing that Black-faced Fish, their persecutor, was crippled, the girls all clenched their fists and started beating him.

They had been so afraid this whole trip.

Some had already been violated and were even more furious, pulling out knives hidden in their pant cuffs and beginning to stab Black-faced Fish.

They didn’t grant him a quick death. They tormented him for a long time until he finally, slowly, closed his eyes in despair.

He never would have imagined he would fall at the hands of a woman.

Chen Xing didn’t blame them for being timid.

Most of these women had no special abilities, and in the apocalypse could only become playthings for the powerful.

They had been scared into submission, so naturally they wouldn’t dare take any risks.

She turned and walked toward the RV.

But then, from behind her, came the voice of the clever woman, Dandan: "Thank you!"

It was a heartfelt thanks, tinged with an apology for her earlier mistrust.

Chen Xing didn’t look back, only pausing for a beat before walking on.

Before she even got on the RV, a girl ran over and asked fawningly, "Is this RV yours? It’s so beautiful! Your RV is so big, can you take me with you?"

Seeing one girl go up to talk to Chen Xing first, several other girls also followed. "Yeah, we’re all alone out here. It’d be safer if we stuck together, we could help each other out!"

"I can cook, and I’m really good at it! You won’t regret taking me!"

"..."

Chen Xing didn’t care if their intentions were good or malicious.

The RV door opened, and Meng Hu poked his head out.

The women who had just been eager to force their way onto the RV were so scared they scattered in a flash.

Chen Xing got in the RV, stepped on the gas, and drove off.

After driving a loop, she circled back to where the truck was.

She wanted to see how the injured girl was doing.

If those girls had any heart, they wouldn’t abandon an injured companion.

When she arrived, everyone and the truck were gone. Only the corpses of Black-faced Fish and his men remained.

But on the winding mountain road ahead, she saw the truck that had carried the girls.

And not far behind it, two black cars were in pursuit.

These weren’t Black-faced Fish’s cars.

’So that truck is being targeted by someone else?’

’The injured girl must be on that truck.’

’What else can I do?’

’Might as well see this through to the end.’

It was only then that she realized she was actually quite the meddler.

’Especially when a woman needed help.’

’Maybe it’s because my past life was so difficult. In a crisis, I always hoped someone would lend me a hand.’

’But in my last life, I wasn’t that lucky. I didn’t meet many good people.’

’I teetered on the brink of life and death countless times, always gritting my teeth and pulling through on my own.’

’Still, compared to a lot of women, I was lucky. I never became someone’s plaything.’

She sped up and gave chase.

Seeing they were being pursued, the two black cars also sped up.

One car sped past the truck, then cut it off, blocking the road.

With its path blocked, the truck unexpectedly rammed the black car and forcibly plowed a way through.

Just then, Chen Xing’s RV caught up.

Seeing that it was a beautiful woman getting out of the vehicle, the men from the black car stopped chasing the truck and instead surrounded Chen Xing with lecherous smiles. "Damn, this beauty is even more of a catch than the last one!"
