I'm a cook in the wasteland

Chapter 38
"You are peculiar."

A very soft sentence suddenly appeared, and Su Mo looked up and saw Lu Xinglan's pretty face.

It's just that it looks good and can't be eaten as a meal.

Hearing this, Su Mo's heart skipped a beat.

Lu Xinglan put more pressure on himself than those predators.

As if he didn't understand the intention of the other party's words, he curled his lips and smiled: "Thank you for the compliment."

Seeing that Su Mo avoided talking about it, Lu Xinglan squatted down.

The parallel gaze didn't give Su Mo any respect, but he felt a sense of danger.

Resisting the urge to run away, Su Mo tried to calm down with a polite smile.

"This is your knife, right?"

Fortunately, Lu Xinglan didn't do anything, instead he handed the things in his hands to Su Mo.

After several battles, the knife edge was not damaged at all.

The blade is very bright, and the silver-white metal feels cold to the touch.

Lu Xinglan's slender fingers caressed the blade and pressed it on the blade. Lu Xinglan looked at the wound on his fingertips without changing his expression.

"It's a nice knife."

It is sharp enough and hard beyond imagination.

He remembered that it was this knife that killed the B008 with one knife. If he used the knife himself, he would not be able to reach Su Mo's level.

"is it?"

With a dry smile, Su Mo took the knife handed over by the other party.

The other party's attitude didn't seem to mean finding fault, and if the other party hadn't appeared, they would have hung up here.

So, facing Lu Xinglan, Su Mo would not react violently.

"Thank you for saving us."

"There is no reward, how about I give you some bacon developed in our camp?"

She asked tentatively, but what she said made Ding Qi not far away look like a ghost.

Countless people in the base wanted to curry favor with their boss, but anyone who dared to bribe them with meat.

This girl's brain has been broken.

"bacon?"

"can."

It's just that Lu Xinglan actually nodded.

"Ah?" Su Mo, who was just joking, quickly gave Wang Qing a wink after seeing the other party's serious expression.

Can't she give it?

Isn't it just a piece of meat?
It's not on me.

Facing the coercion of the opponent, Su Mo could only comfort himself in this way.

"Would you like to join my team and follow me back to Base 8."

Suddenly, Lu Xinglan asked.

His tone was very serious, and although he looked at Su Mo indifferently, he did not have the mocking and contemptuous look like those in the base.

They are equal, but Lu Xinglan doesn't care about it.

Su Mo seemed to understand the other party's attitude.

Su Mo was really surprised by this kind of invitation.

"Boss, no need, our team has enough people."

It was Ding Qi who yelled.

He patted the car, and his tone was a little uncomfortable: "Hey, are you talking too?"

As Ding Qi shouted, some people poked their heads out of the dark car.

Several people laughed awkwardly, but after meeting Lu Xinglan's eyes, they straightened their faces.

"We listen to the captain."

That's a cute one.

……

Ding Qi twitched the corners of his mouth, a little discouraged.

Speaking of which, they were all picked up by the captain, but it wasn't that they didn't want to accept Su Mo.

It's just that their team is full of men, so it's not appropriate for a woman to come suddenly.

Women should not meddle in the affairs of a group of men.

"why?"

After a moment of silence, Su Mo asked back.

She saw Lu Xinglan's seriousness, but she always felt that the other party's thinking was not so simple.

"Your abilities... are peculiar, different from those I have encountered."

"I want you to come back with me to check."

"No matter what the result is, as long as you are my team member Lu Xinglan, those people in the base will not dare to touch you."

So you want her to be a guinea pig?

Su Mo, who understood, shook his head directly.

"Not yet, the camp is fine."

Not to mention being a guinea pig, even being a team member, Su Mo didn't like it.

After all, the base left a bad impression on her.

"Is that so..."

It seemed that he didn't intend to embarrass Su Mo. After seeing Su Mo's refusal, Lu Xinglan stood up.

This time, Wang Qing came over with a bag.

There were a few strips of bacon inside, and it could be seen that there was a bit of pain in Wang Qing's weird expression.

"Give!"

He handed it to Lu Xinglan carefully.

Even if it was just a long-range shot, Wang Qing also knew that the opponent was an ability user more powerful than Su Mo.

It's better to be in awe of this kind of person.

"Well, how?"

Lu Xinglan's tone was too flat, but Su Mo always felt weird when he asked this sentence with such a dignified face.

"Sliced, sautéed potatoes, added pepper, no salt."

As Su Mo said, he propped himself up and stood up, but bent down again.

"On behalf of Camp Rock, thank you Captain Lu for your help."

"Walk slowly!"

……

Good guy, is this driving someone away?
Glancing at Su Mo's unrelenting vigilance, Lu Xinglan raised his eyebrows.

Even his team members were not so afraid of themselves when they met for the first time.

Her intuition seems to be good too.

"Ok!"

Nodding his head, holding a plastic bag with his finger, Lu Xinglan walked towards his vehicle.

After a few steps, Ding Qi took the bag with strides, and muttered softly as he looked at the brightly colored meat inside.

"It looks pretty good."

The few people were sitting in a modified jeep, which ignited and rushed to the other side of the bridge with a roar. With all the windows closed, Su Mo couldn't see Lu Xinglan's expression when he left.

After the other party walked away, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Su Mo, what should we do now?"

Both Shi Yan and his son were in a coma. Uncle Wolf couldn't decide to pay attention, so he subconsciously looked at Su Mo.

Everyone in the camp turned their attention to Su Mo.

After looking at the injuries of the two, the bleeding was temporarily stopped, but follow-up treatment was needed.

But lighting a fire and cooking in this kind of place is really a bit arrogant.

It's really a wave of ups and downs.

"Go to the location we discussed earlier."

Sighing, Su Mo was not hypocritical, and simply made a decision.

The tires were quickly replaced and the two cars were back on the road.

I don't know if it's because Lu Xinglan and the others just passed by.

During the previous section of the road, Su Mo and the others never encountered the predator again, not even the vicious beast that was spying on them.

The last journey was passed safely. In the afternoon, Su Mo and others rushed to a small town not far from the south gate of Base 8.

There are many camps gathered in this town, so it is very safe.

Even the roads have been repaired, and some ruins that are prone to collapse have been cleared away.

However, the vines and rust that spread randomly are telling the dilapidation of this small town.

Su Mo saw that there were several small stalls in the town.

It looked very peaceful and quiet here, and many people had smiles on their faces, and there was no hostility in the face of their arrival.

As long as they do not encroach on the territory of the rest of the camp, they will not be driven out to settle here.

The vehicle was parked in a relatively peripheral place, and a carload of people began to pack up.

First, some simple tents were built, and the father and son were carried inside.

Wang Qing thoughtfully set up a hearth for Su Mo.
