"Well, you are worthy of being the head of Hope Shelter, you have courage!"

Smiling and nodding, Wang Tianxing slowly stood up: "It's getting late. I'm an old man and I can't stay up late like you young people."

His steps were brisk and his posture was upright, but the well-hidden disappointment and anger were still easily captured by the sharp-minded Lin Xiaoxiao.

How could she not understand the old man's thoughts? Their Wang family was simply having a hard time surviving in the official shelter and wanted to move to their own shelter to develop and grow again.

As an orphan who has seen the ups and downs of life, Lin Xiaoxiao never thought that the Wang family would show mercy to her and her Hope Sanctuary just because of her friendship with Wang Luo.

Why would old man Wang take the risk to go to the Hope Sanctuary in person at such an old age?

Looking at the old man's leaving back, Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes slightly.

No matter what the Wang family plans, if they harm the people in the shelter or occupy it brutally, then Lin Xiaoxiao will definitely not show mercy!

Wang Ying's mind was in a mess due to the shock of the news, so she quickly made an excuse to leave. However, Wang Luo took Lin Xiaoxiao and Wang Miao to find Yu Xiang who was cleaning the kitchen utensils in the back kitchen.

In the clean and bright kitchen, Yu Xiang was wiping the table while staring at what was stewing on the stove. Lin Xiaoxiao and the other two were attracted by the rich aroma as soon as they entered the door.

"Wow, Sister Yu, what delicious food are you making?"

Lin Xiaoxiao greeted Yu Xiang in a very familiar manner. The intimate address brought Yu Xiang, who was originally in a daze, back to his senses instantly.

Seeing the three people coming in, she subconsciously frowned: "Young Master, the kitchen is very fumy, if you need anything, just let me know."

As if she was afraid that the gorgeously dressed young master and young lady in her eyes might touch something they shouldn't touch, Yu Xiang took the lead in blocking the stove.

Yu Xiangsheng was so tall that he looked a bit oppressive even when standing in front of Wang Luo, which made the three people who were originally planning to take the food directly stop.

Wang Luo smiled and made a sly face, "Chef Yu, Sister Yu, we are not full, can you make some barbecue for us?"

Seeing Yu Xiang's expression relaxed, Wang Luo pointed at Lin Xiaoxiao behind him and said, "We don't have much time to come back this time. We have to go to the Hope Shelter together tomorrow. I thought we could have a good meal and drink together before we set off.

Sister Yu, please help us~"

Wang Luo has always been a sweet-talker, and since it wasn't an excessive request, Yu Xiang thought about it and slowly nodded in agreement: "Okay, there's some beef and fresh vegetables in the kitchen, I'll help the young master and the young lady prepare them quickly."

After saying this, Yu Xiang turned around to organize the ingredients, while Wang Luo and the other two came to the yard, smelling the aroma coming from the kitchen stove.

The shelter imitates the rising and setting of the sun and the moon in nature. There are only a few dim street lights outside the kitchen, and other places are completely shrouded in darkness. In the silence, only the fresh air system above the head can be heard roaring.

Looking around in the darkness, Lin Xiaoxiao asked considerately, "Shall we have a barbecue here? Do you want to move the table and chairs over?"

To be honest, she didn't like the atmosphere here very much, but this was someone else's territory, so she didn't make any requests casually, but just threw the question to Wang Luo.

Hearing this, Wang Luo pointed to the darkness on one side and said, "We will go there later. The outer ring road can see the moonlight."

"Luo'er, it's very dangerous there."

Before Wang Luo could continue, Wang Miao stopped him immediately, his expression very serious: "Dangerous mutant creatures sometimes break into the outer ring road, and it is even more dangerous at night, Luo'er, don't mess around!"

"Sister, we are leaving the official shelter tomorrow. It's more dangerous outside than the outer ring road. This is also to let you experience life in the wild in advance.

Besides, there are patrol officers on the outer ring road, and Xiaoxiao and I are both supernatural beings, so what are you afraid of?"

Seeing that Wang Miao was frowning and about to say something, Wang Luo immediately winked at Lin Xiaoxiao: "I'll take my sister first, you and Chef Yu come with the stove and skewers, we're going to drink and sing today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up Wang Miao and rushed towards the direction he had pointed. Wang Miao's suppressed shouting could be heard from afar.

Seeing the Wang siblings walking away, Lin Xiaoxiao turned and went into the kitchen. At this time, Yu Xiang was concentrating on stringing the cut pieces of meat.

Hearing the footsteps, Yu Xiang reminded without even looking up: "Master and Miss, the barbecue will take a while. There is a lot of smoke in the kitchen, so you should wait outside."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxiao took two quick steps and pulled out a stool from the side and sat next to Yu Xiang. "I'm not a young master or a young lady, so I'm not afraid of the smell of oil smoke. Besides, Sister Yu smells so good, how can there be any smell of oil smoke?"

She held her face with both hands, bent over and stared at Yu Xiang's face, which quickly turned red. Finally, she uttered a small sound: "Sister Yu, are you so shy?"

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao smiling across from him, Yu Xiang was both angry and helpless: "What are you doing here?"

"If you don't know what to call me, Sister Yu can call me Xiao Xiao like everyone else. Does Sister Yu's expression mean that she hates Xiao Xiao?"

Lin Xiaoxiao lowered her almond-shaped eyes and seemed a little lost, which made Yu Xiang's movements of skewering meat slow down and she almost hurt her hand with the iron skewer.

Feeling the dull pain in his fingertips, Yu Xiang took a deep breath: "I don't hate you, Xiao...Xiao, Xiaoxiao, what do you want to talk to me about?"

She spoke haltingly and her cheeks felt particularly hot. Looking at Yu Xiang who was so embarrassed, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that it was not good for her to tease her.

Putting aside her playful thoughts, Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Come on, Sister Yu, let's go to the Outer Ring Road to have a barbecue tonight. You should also bring your ingredients and join us."

"Outer Ring Road?"

Hearing this, Yu Xiang frowned: "The outer ring road is very dangerous, ordinary people..."

As if she realized something, she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Young Master Wang is naturally not an ordinary person. I am overthinking it. I will take the things over right away."

Seeing that she agreed, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately stepped forward, picked up the pieces of meat that Yu Xiang had cut, and stuffed them into her own system space.

Looking at the basin disappearing from the spot, Yu Xiang was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and put all the things he needed in a box.

"Xiao Xiao, I'm done."

Although she didn't know why Yu Xiang suddenly became so active, Lin Xiaoxiao still took her to quickly find the alloy gate in front of the outer ring road.

As the butler inserted the ID card, the originally tightly closed alloy door slowly opened, and the cool night breeze blew in and ruffled the long hair of the two people.

Walking in the hazy moonlight, the two entered the outer ring road which looked exceptionally bright.

"Here we go. You two are a little slow."

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao and the other person appear, Wang Luo immediately greeted them warmly. Not far behind him, next to the alloy wall, there was a set of plastic tables and chairs from the food stalls before the apocalypse.

After arranging the necessary materials and the furnace, Lin Xiaoxiao noticed a woman in black combat uniform sitting next to Wang Luo. What was more noteworthy was that there was a hideous wound on the woman's exposed collarbone.

As if she knew what Lin Xiaoxiao was going to ask, the woman took a big gulp of beer and explained in a hoarse voice: "I was captured by a mutant creature when I was on a mission. That beast was very fierce."

Pointing to the necklace around her neck, the woman smiled cheerfully: "But in the end I survived. This is made of the bones of that beast."
