Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Zombie Horde
“Delicious,” Lu Hao nodded and said.
“This, oh, is the salted egg barbecued pork I’ve just learned from a recipe. It’s made with the pork and eggs from here. When it was just ready, your grandma almost swallowed the plate,” Lin Yunguo mercilessly teased his wife’s funny incident in front of his younger relatives.
Li Xiuying, who was very conscious of her image, especially in front of Lu Hao, simply smiled without saying a word after hearing this. Only Su Jin knew that grandpa was probably going to suffer later.
“Ahem, Grandpa, what did you put inside?”
Su Jin ate another slice. The barbecued pork was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, deliciously sweet, and the rich and grainy texture of the salted egg complemented it perfectly, making her want to eat another piece.
“This salted egg barbecued pork, although it looks simple, has a lot of stuff in it. For example, meat sauce, fermented bean curd, rice wine, green onions, ginger, garlic, plus honey and maltose…” Lin Yunguo became loquacious the moment he started talking about food.
Su Jin and Lu Hao didn’t dare to stay in the space for too long. After chatting with the elders, Su Jin took another plate of meat out of the space.
At that time, only about ten minutes had passed outside.
The people in the car smelled the sudden aroma and felt hungry again.
“Girl, what delicious thing have you got there? Let your dad have a taste,” Su Xiangzhe, who was driving, couldn’t help himself.
“It’s the new salted egg barbecued pork made by Grandpa. You all try it,” considering that Su Xiangzhe was driving, Su Jin used a toothpick to pierce a slice and fed it to Su Xiangzhe.
“Xiao Jin, this is too delicious!”
Lin Tianhui and Lin Tianzhen said in unison, and even Mao Zhihang couldn’t stop praising it. Mao Qiqi was even happier; the meat was so fragrant.
“I have already told grandpa that we are going to add this to our lunch today,” Su Jin said, then fed another bite to Su Xiangzhe in the front.
As the car gradually entered the city, the road condition became worse and worse, and the zombies by the side of the road, hearing the sound of the car, rushed over one after another.
The drivers of the three cars remained unflustered despite the collisions, but keeping such high levels of concentration was still exhausting.
“Sister Xiao Jin, there are more and more zombies ahead, I can’t count them all,” Mao Qiqi said, realizing the sudden increase unexpectedly, unsure why there were so many zombies.
“Qiqi, roughly how many?” Lin Tianzhen knew that when her daughter said she couldn’t count them, there had to be at least over a hundred.
“I think there are four or five hundred, all crowded together,” Mao Qiqi became anxious. The dense red dots made her uncomfortable, and there were mutated zombies mixed among them.
It seemed that they had encountered a horde of zombies.
A so-called zombie horde is a phenomenon where a large scale zombification occurs in a densely populated area because of the rapid spread of the zombie virus. Since these zombies were together from the start, they would collectively attack when encountering humans.
The most terrifying aspect of a zombie horde is that if a person falls into it, they would be instantly torn to pieces by the surrounding zombies and consumed, without a chance to fight back.
“Dad, is there a side road we can take? If we can avoid it, let’s go around,” Su Jin urgently said to Su Xiangzhe.
“There’s no road to turn onto,” said Su Xiangzhe after looking around, clearly very anxious.
“There’s a construction site up ahead; we can cut through there. Just the road looks a bit difficult to travel,” Lu Hao replied.
“Then let’s take that road. Our cars should manage it,”
Su Jin made the decision immediately and informed the other two cars of the situation using the walkie-talkie.
