After resting in the lobby for a while, Li Luo led everyone to the cafeteria.
"I'm the only living person left here. Before the virus outbreak, the person in charge of the cafeteria bought a lot of ingredients. All the large refrigerators are full."
Li Luo took off his glasses, looking embarrassed.
"I can't cook. I've been living on canned food and instant meals these past few days."
Gu Cheng understood and waved a hand.
"Sixth Brother, Old Li, go cook."
Lou Yu figured he couldn't let the other teams think the Second Team was lazy, so he copied Gu Cheng and waved a hand.
"Lu Yao, off you go!"
With both hands in his pockets, Lu Yao gave him a cool look.
Lou Yu said, "I want your spicy blood curd stew..."
Without hesitation, Lu Yao turned and plunged into the kitchen.
Not to be outdone, He Zhou of the Third Team rolled up his sleeves.
"I'll make a few spectacular dishes for you guys today!"
While they were busy, everyone else scattered, some looking for bathrooms, others wanting a shower.
For the moment, only Gu Cheng, Ye Ruan, and a few others remained in the cafeteria.
"Is what you said about the higher-ups abandoning special people true?"
Li Luo asked urgently, his cheeks twitching slightly with tension.
Fang Ci nodded. "We weren't lying. The higher-ups are eliminating special people with weaker abilities. But we're heading to a new base together now. You can leave with us."
Resentment and anger flashed through Li Luo's eyes.
"Why? Don't they want the research institute's precious records anymore? And what about the other researchers...?"
Gu Cheng rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"As far as I know, the research institute is open to the public. You don't normally study classified species here, do you?"
