Perhaps Guo Xiaobei wasn't as shy anymore, or maybe the threat in Han Yang's tone was too obvious. Guo Xiaobei hesitated for a moment and then got up to open the door.

  Although Han Yang's voice already sounded angry when he heard it, when the door opened, Han Yang didn't say anything. He signaled Guo Xiaobei to close the door properly and then put the plates in his hands on the table.

  Han Yang didn't bring two portions of dumplings. Instead, it was one portion of dumplings and one portion of cold dishes. Fortunately, the cold dishes that Xing Fang bought were all pure meat dishes and were all Han Yang's favorites. Han Yang didn't hesitate and randomly picked up one plate and brought it into the room.

  Guo Xiaobei was a bit startled when he saw Han Yang carrying the food into the room and then turning his head to make a smile-like gesture towards him. And when Han Yang saw that his rare and somewhat condescending smile actually scared the other person, he was immediately filled with dissatisfaction.

  "What are you still dawdling for? Come over and eat. Don't think that just because I dote on you, you can become arrogant because of it!" Han Yang looked rather pained as he said this.

  "..." Guo Xiaobei stared at Han Yang in disbelief and finally gave up the idea of arguing with him and sat down on the chair.

  "Sit over there!" Han Yang frowned and shouted in a low voice. How rude! He hadn't even sat down yet, and this guy had already occupied the chair.

  Guo Xiaobei looked at him blankly. Then he looked down at the two pairs of chopsticks on the table and realized that these things weren't for him to eat alone.

  Under Han Yang's intimidating gaze, Guo Xiaobei silently got up and gave his only chair to the other person.

  Han Yang sat down with an air of superiority, then turned his head to stare at Guo Xiaobei until Guo Xiaobei felt embarrassed and took the initiative to hand the chopsticks to him.

  However, in this way, Guo Xiaobei also saw the dumplings on the plate and was stunned for a moment. He then cast a puzzled look at Han Yang.

  "Today is New Year's Eve." Han Yang patiently explained for once. Seeing the look of shock in Guo Xiaobei's eyes slowly turn into a layer of moisture, he suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart.

  "Let's... go out and eat together." Guo Xiaobei clenched his fists tightly and held back that trace of tears.

  Although Han Yang felt a bit uncomfortable, he also thought that this idea was actually quite good.

  The door of the room was opened again. Guo Xiaobei walked out carrying the plate and saw Xing Fang eating alone with a lonely look. He smiled and said, "Brother Xing, with so much delicious food, it's not right to eat alone!"

  When Xing Fang saw the two of them coming out and heard Guo Xiaobei's words, he also smiled. "Nonsense. I didn't even dare to eat. I saved it for you!"

  "Let's eat together. The dumplings are a bit cold. I'll go and heat them up again." Guo Xiaobei saw that the other two plates of dumplings on the table hadn't been touched much and knew that Xing Fang also had something on his mind.

  Reheating cooked dumplings wouldn't make them taste as good, but in this cold winter weather, without heating or anything like that in the room, the food cooled down quickly and was almost inedible. There was no other choice.

  After heating them in boiling water for a while, the dumplings were steaming again.

  Guo Xiaobei carried the dumplings into the living room and found that Xing Fang and Han Yang were already drinking, each with a bottle of wine in their hands.

  Stolen story; please report.

  "Hey, hey... That's not nice..." Guo Xiaobei pretended to be angry and put the plate heavily on the table. "You started drinking without me!"

  "You're too young to drink!" Xing Fang's face was a bit red, but his expression was normal.

  Han Yang, after looking at him, pulled over a small cup, poured out about an inch of wine from his own bottle, and pushed it in front of Guo Xiaobei.

  "So little?" And it's from your bottle! Guo Xiaobei gave Han Yang an unfriendly look.

  "There are only two bottles." Han Yang didn't look at him and took a big gulp from the bottle.

  "..." Forget about baijiu. It's just beer, and you only give me a little bit at the bottom of the cup! Guo Xiaobei looked at the wine in front of him that was less than a mouthful with dismay and just gently touched his lips with it while sighing.

  However, his attention was quickly attracted by the good food on the table. There were several kinds of cooked food, all cut up and placed on plates.

  Guo Xiaobei ate heartily. Today, without Han Yang cutting the food with that unlucky knife, his appetite was much better. Although it was the apocalypse, the three of them were living a pretty good life together.

  Not only were they still alive, but they could also eat meat every day and had a good brother. Except for that narcissistic guy who liked to imagine things in his head...

  However, although this guy wasn't very reliable in other aspects, he was quite reliable in terms of fighting skills.

  Guo Xiaobei nodded to himself in his heart. With them around, he would probably level up faster. He hoped that he could grow up quickly and find a way to survive.

  The meal lasted for a long time in a lively atmosphere. In the end, most of the food on the table was cold, but the three of them were still talking, laughing, and even crying, as if they wanted to pour out all the panic and grievances in their hearts during these days.

  Although the three of them had known each other for several months, it was only after this meal that they really seemed to regard each other as partners and... family.

  Although there wasn't much wine, unexpectedly, Xing Fang got drunk. Han Yang was fine, though. Seeing Xing Fang sleeping soundly, he was in a good mood and announced that they would take a day off, just as if it were the first day of the Lunar New Year.

  On this day, they left Xing Fang at home while Guo Xiaobei and Han Yang both went out. One was responsible for buying food, and the other was going around from house to house, looking for useful supplies. The weather was getting colder and colder. The zombies outside weren't afraid of the cold, but they couldn't stand it.

  Guo Xiaobei bought a lot of things and could hardly carry them all. He put the things on the ground and then opened the door that he had blocked tightly from the outside. This was mainly not to prevent thieves but to prevent scattered zombies from coming over while they were out, especially since there was a drunk man at home.

  Guo Xiaobei put the things away. Han Yang hadn't come back yet, and Xing Fang hadn't woken up either. He sat in the living room, waiting for Han Yang to come back while sorting out his system package.

  That red spear skill manual was still in the package. Guo Xiaobei looked at it for a long time and finally decided to learn it. After all, having spear skills meant having an extra layer of protection. As for other things, he didn't have the energy to think about them.

  Following the system prompts, he chose to learn the manual. After a burst of red light flashed in front of his eyes, the system prompted that the manual had been learned. Guo Xiaobei picked up the long spear that he had placed in the corner, and he really felt that the feeling of the spear in his hand was a bit more delicate. It seemed that there was a great power contained in the long spear, which made him couldn't help but put it down again.

  He couldn't quite describe this power, but he didn't want to test it casually in the room. They still had to live here!

  After learning the manual, Guo Xiaobei shifted his attention to other things. Completing the side mission also gave him a mission reward package. It was light orange in color, indicating that this package must also be of great value.

  Sure enough, after opening the orange package, there was a rhombus-shaped stone inside. The system prompted that he had obtained a primary evolution stone. Guo Xiaobei took out the stone. The light green stone was thin, only about half the size of his palm, and looked crystal clear and very appealing.

  Guo Xiaobei fiddled with this light green stone slice that the system indicated was an enhancement stone. The glistening green color, combined with its smooth and warm feel in his hand, made him reluctant to put it down.

  "What's that thing you're holding?"
