28 Zombie Queen has the Biggest Thigh of All 4 (1/2)

Yin Mei thus began her mission of going at least once with every expedition group put together by B City. Although she would be leaving Qin Shuang at home, she gave him homework to work on better controlling his ability. The quicker he could learn how to control it, the quicker he would be able to reach the level of manipulating threads like his past self (or future self?).

Because Yin Mei had been consuming so many energy cores, her physique had improved by quite a bit, though she still wasn't on par with the special forces that were used by B City. Even so, it meant that she could be considered somewhat elite of a member on the expedition forces. Because she was quite strong and was also a beautiful young girl, Yin Mei quickly became famous.

It could be said that Yin Mei had quickly adapted to life in the zombie apocalypse, though she was still grossed out by zombie corpses and had to take a shower almost everyday, even though showers had become expensive in the apocalypse. But because of her newfound zombie destroyer skill, she made enough money to support such a luxury.

It was after a few weeks of living like this that Yin Mei finally found the newly formed group that would become the culprits of the death of the Fire Emperor's little brother. The veterans consisted of five people, four men and one woman.

They clearly appeared like veterans, and were all soldiers from the same regiment. Because she had found the squad that she wanted, Yin Mei stopped jumping around and would instead join this squad everyday, much to the despair of the other squads, who were hoping for this pretty young miss to grace them with her presence. They could only curse the good luck of the squad that had been able to obtain her heart.

The squad in question was rather confused over why Yin Mei would constantly join them, but had no complaints as Yin Mei's skill actually was quite decent. Though she wasn't a genius sharpshooter or anything, her physical abilities were unexpected from a delicate looking girl like her and she was quite agile and flexible. She appeared much more skilled in the use of the sword, though the amount of times she would actually use the sword that she had bought from the military were rather few.

This was only because Yin Mei didn't want to get up close and personal with the zombies, who were still at the level of being rotting and disgusting corpses. Only after they ranked up a few more times would they start resembling human beings more (though it also depended on their evolutionary branch). At that point, normal bullets would also begin to become useless anyways. But until then, Yin Mei would continue using her gun and save her sword for emergencies only.

In the end, although Yin Mei was unused to the zombie world, she had been a high level cultivator for centuries in her previous world. She still remembered the martial arts from then and had been practicing it all this time, so her skill was definitely above average.

Around this time, humans began slowly awakening their abilities and soon everyone in the city knew that people had evolved special powers. Because Yin Mei's powers weren't terribly special at first glance, she immediately revealed it to gain special privileges. Even though everyone had supernatural abilities, right now it only seemed like a select few humans had awakened them, and even then, there were still rankings between good and bad abilities. Yin Mei could make fresh water with her ability, so she was immediately recruited to work at the city's greenhouses for a few hours each day. It was a good thing that it didn't interfere with her missions as part of the expedition squad, and also granted several benefits, the main being direct access to fresh fruits and vegetables.

Yin Mei felt like she could finally fully display her prowess as a master chef using the cooking skill she had gained in the white space. So, that very next day after she had been employed at the greenhouse, Yin Mei took the fresh groceries she had gained and used them to create a feast.

The three girls who returned back home were greeted by a dazzling sight on their kitchen table. Because fresh groceries were rare and expensive, the majority of their meals had been frozen food and cup ramen. It had been a while since they had set their sights on a home cooked meal.

Qin Shuang was already eating, stuffing his face to the point that one couldn't help but worry that he would choke, looking like he simply couldn't eat enough. It was so delicious that he had outright started sobbing.

The three girls hurriedly sat down along with Yin Mei, as if afraid there wouldn't be enough.

They each took a bite. They now knew the reason why Qin Shuang was crying. Actually, they probably would cry even if the meal had tasted normal, since it had simply been too long since they had eaten anything home cooked, but this meal tasted like heaven in their mouths. The tears couldn't help but stream down their faces.

”What is this, it's so good. Oh my god,” An Yu said sobbing.

”It's like I've gone to heaven in back,” Mu Shan added, tears silently falling from her eyes as she slowly relished each and every bite.

”Lu Mei, you could apply to be a personal chef for one of the city's higher ups with a skill like this.” Ruo Bi said, and though she looked as elegant as ever, her chopsticks were flying at the speed of light as the food in front of her disappeared like magic.

Yin Mei looked surprised, like she had an epiphany. What a good idea! Ming Wei was so well known as a picky eater that it was especially mentioned in the information. Perhaps she might be able to infiltrate the lab in this way? It would be much better than becoming a lab rat.

But, she put this idea aside for now. First, she still had to deal with the matter of the Fire Emperor's family.

She didn't have to wait for long, as the day she was waiting for quickly arrived. The squad was waiting at the front gate as usual as they counted up today's new members. Yin Mei spotted someone who seemed to match the description of the Fire Emperor's brother. He had flaming red hair and red eyes, looking young and delicate with a pale face and slender body.

Yin Mei felt that this should be Ri En, the younger brother of the Fire Emperor, Ri Lu.

Yin Mei immediately went up to greet him with a friendly smile. ”Are you new?” She asked, already knowing the answer.
