The Chef Rules the Last Days-Chapter 665 - 663: Final - (3)

Lu Chen lifted his eyes and gazed at her, his cool tone slightly softened, "Then let’s give it a try."

Su Mo looked at him in surprise, "You actually agree to this?"

Lu Chen gave a slight smile and countered, "Could you refuse?"

Unable to speak, Su Mo crouched down. It was precisely because she couldn’t refuse that she let Lu Chen decide.

Sighing, Su Mo stood up and pulled Lu Ruixue close, her heart filled with reluctance. She had thought about many kinds of relationships between the children and Lu Jin but had never considered this one.

"You can be with him as long as it’s your choice. I will respect it, but Xuexue, you have to promise me, if he ever hurts you, never be with him again."

Lu Ruixue was both happy and moved. She hugged Su Mo, "Don’t worry, mom. If he treats me badly, I will definitely stay far away from him."

Su Mo patted her back, her gaze tender.

The next day, Lu Chen found Lu Jin and the two of them had a fight.

The fight ended only after Lu Jin was beaten and carried out.

As for why this happened, that was a matter between men.

Lu Ruixue couldn’t understand why Lu Jin could still smile even after nearly being blinded by his father, but seeing his eyes sparkling like stars, she was at a loss for words again.

Because the number of zombies had decreased, the superpower users and ordinary people living in the base were now living comfortably.

Their current lives were much closer to the state before the apocalypse.

Rong Bai had created many jobs for people to sustain their lives by earning their food through their own labor.

For a long time, Su Mo no longer needed the Cooking God system to help develop the base; everything was on the right track.

Now, the simplest daily routine for her and Lu Chen was to drive to the edge of the base to shoot zombies or sit on the city wall to watch the stars.

Sitting on the city wall with her legs swinging, Su Mo looked at the panel emitting a soft blue glow in front of her and asked softly, "Cooking God, do you come from a higher civilization?"

Her system only appeared with warnings and voices during emergencies, and most of the time, it remained silent.

Su Mo’s question went unanswered.

The system, as usual, lay quietly in her heart, merged with her.

Its arrival transcended all of Su Mo’s human understanding, but she vaguely realized.

Perhaps she was inadvertently chosen by an external super-technology.

As for why, she couldn’t tell, whether it was coincidence or luck, she didn’t know.

But one thing was certain, with the help of the system, she and her companions had survived, created the vast Hope Base, and built a bright future.

After quietly looking at the panel for a while, Su Mo raised her hand and turned it off.

She leaned her head on Lu Chen’s shoulder, watching the endless night outside, and whispered, "Let’s take it slow for the rest of our lives, and walk well.

Lu Chen wrapped his arm around her shoulder, his eyes tender, "Mmm."

No matter what the future held, they would always be together.

Everyone had found a good place.

Su Mo dug a hole under an evergreen tree that had been grown through technology within the base.

Ling Ye stood quietly by the hole, looking at the mother who still looked exactly like she did the day she died, his eyes slightly red.

His life was exchanged by his mother, and he would never forget it in this lifetime.

"Bury her, this spot under the tree is good."

Touching his head gently, Su Mo said, "Carry on your mother’s part and live well."

Ling Ye gently hugged Su Mo, "Thank you."

Ling Ye’s mother henceforth lay in eternal rest under the evergreen trees at Hope Base.

He himself had joined the security team organized by Feng Yao and Jin Han.

He led his companions to form an independent army. Due to the continual expansion of the base and the shortage of manpower, they managed an area by themselves.

They were known for their iron-fisted approach.

Despite Ling Ye’s young age, the people within his jurisdiction got along harmoniously. Everyone knew that these youngsters were lethally toxic, untouchable and unbeatable.

Su Mo was satisfied with Ling Ye’s current situation.

In contrast, Jianxiong and Li He were indeed encountering some problems.

The two were of the same sex, and it was inevitable to avoid gossip, but recently, a woman had been making advances towards Jianxiong repeatedly, which made Li He very irritable, having ignored Jianxiong for several days now.

When Su Mo came to know about it, it was Jianxiong who had come to her to complain.

The reason was quite bizarre. Jianxiong had pulled a woman out of a sewer during a zombie-clearing mission; she was also a Space Superpower User.

No wonder she had been able to survive down there for so long.

"I really just pulled her out, didn’t do anything else. She’s a superpower user, I can’t fight or scold her."

Jianxiong, looking frustrated, picked up a glass of water from the table and took a sip.

Su Mo found it strange and said, "Why don’t you just explain it clearly to her, why all the fuss?"

"I have explained it clearly, what’s the word for it..."

Jianxiong pondered for a moment before saying, "Pestering, that’s the word."

Su Mo fell silent. Looking Jianxiong up and down, his overly masculine appearance attracting women was normal, but it was odd that it could anger the usually mild-tempered Li He.

After a moment, Su Mo said, "Take me to meet that woman."

Jianxiong shook his head vigorously, "No no no, I’ll tell you where she is, you go."

Su Mo raised an eyebrow and seeing him suddenly lose his nerve, she agreed.

The Space Superpower User lived in the newly developed area for superpower users at Hope Base.

The houses here were scattered artistically, with each superpower user living alone.

Su Mo easily found the residence of the Space Superpower User.

Looking at the wooden door, she suddenly felt that she had a knack for handling logistics, as it seemed she was always the one solving romantic issues in the team...

Jianxiong, acting as her brother, now somewhat seemed like her son.

She helplessly reached out and knocked on the door.

Shortly, the door was opened.

The woman who came out was very beautiful, Su Mo genuinely thought so.

Her hair was carefully styled, and she was dressed ladylike. With no zombies to worry about at the base, she even wore a floral maxi dress.

Surveying her outfit, Su Mo smiled slightly, "May I come in for a sit?"

The woman looked at her perplexedly, "Who are you?"

"Jianxiong’s sister, Su Mo."

The word ’sister’ immediately softened the woman’s expression. She stepped aside and said to Su Mo, "I am Chen Fangfang, come in."

Su Mo walked in; inside was spotlessly clean, with simple furniture and a bed, enough for a living.

"Are you here on behalf of Jianxiong today?"

Chen Fangfang poured her a glass of water and set it on the table, her eyes noticeably delighted.
