In October 2125, S City on the bank of the C River in China.

"Oh~ It's cold this day, there is no customer." A sigh came from an inconspicuous small shop in the depths of a pedestrian street that could still see the prosperous past.

If someone is interested, you can see the warm light coming out of a small wooden door. Through the clean window next to you, you can clearly see a young and beautiful woman sitting in a wooden bar in the room, frowning slightly, sighing while looking at the soup pot next to you that is bubbling and cooking food.

With the light orange lights, there were a few wooden tables, chairs and benches in the room, and you could still vaguely see that this was a restaurant. I looked carefully at the door and saw a wooden sign hanging on it with the words "Xiao Shi Malatang".

All this seems very warm and beautiful, but - if it weren't for occasionally walking past those twisted and unpopular "corpses" from outside the window, if it wasn't for occasionally "hoho" like night owls occasionally coming in the middle of the night, then Mei Shi would think it would be good.

Mei Shi is the owner of this Xiaoshi Malatang and the only strange woman who opens a Malatang restaurant in this world where zombies are rampant.

It is now 2125. China and the Yanhuang Kingdom, which are born and raised in Mei Shi, belong to parallel time and space. Mei Shi is a graduate dog who just graduated from college. While he is rushing to find a job, he was suddenly smashed by the [System 666] from the sky one day and died.

After that, she became the host of the so-called [System 666]. The system knew that she had smashed Mei Shi to death when she was staying on Mei Shi. In order to compensate her, she specially took Mei Shi to travel through time and gave him a chance to live again, and told Mei Shi that she would not have to worry about food and drink after traveling through time.

[System 666] Tell her that it is a food business system, and will provide her with a store and a raw material system. She just needs to be responsible for selling it, and the "money" she gets sold belongs to Mei Shi.

My God? Is there such a good thing? Mei Shi can't believe it.

But Mei Shi thought about the miserable death caused by the system, she felt that the system should compensate her, right?

But Mei Shi just wants to shout "Big Liar" now! It is true that this is a parallel world, but this world only experienced the sweeping of zombie virus a year ago, and the survivors who survived are all in the survivor base where psychics gather.

But her shop is on a pedestrian street in S City.

Before the zombie virus broke out, the economy was prosperous and the S city in China was the best developed by China. There was a shop on the pedestrian street. What was that? Is there a landlady?

And now, there is no one else found on the street except those strange and eye-catching zombies. Oh, no, there is no one living person except Mei Shi, a human.

If the system didn’t provide this store with a very high safety factor, Mei Shi would stay here? Moreover, the system clearly wanted her to give people, people, people, and flesh and blood! Is there a ball here?

Mei Shi, who became more and more angry the more she thought about it, took out a bunch of white radish from the bubbling soup pot and ate it with her own rice bowl.

[Warning! The host is strictly prohibited from eating the goods!!] The electronic sound of system 666 was remembered in Mei Shi's mind. Mei Shi had heard it countless times in the past two days. Until she calmly fiddled the radish on the label into the bowl and finished eating, she said: "I am the boss. I said it is sold, I said it is for myself and I eat it."

[You... this is obviously sold to customers.]

"Then what should I eat?"

【You eat food in the restaurant.】

“This is the food in the store.”

【…】 System 666 is just an artificial intelligence brain after all, and he also knows that there is something wrong with what Mei Shi said, but he can't refute [The system provides it for every meal... Now is not the time to eat.]

"But I'm hungry~" Mei Shi said aggrievedly, "I'm not familiar with the place here alone. There are zombies everywhere outside. I'm worried every day, and I'll be hungry if I'm afraid... What if I'm starving to death before the Malatang is sold?"

【…】

"Also, it's said it's spicy hot pot. It's obviously cooked in Guandong, but there are no peppers, and it's not delicious at all." Mei Shi was finished eating, but she was still picky. Then she took out a big white radish from the special food cabinet provided by the system and washed it easily and neatly, cut it into pieces and put it into a pot.

[This is also a type of malatang. When you sell the host, the points you get can be exchanged for more pot bottoms.] System 666 explained [Malatang was a kind of cuisine in my era.]

"Oh." A response without emotion made the system 666 have no desire to continue talking. Why does the host it binds to look like a beautiful and clever fairy who is said to be the kind of beautiful woman? It seems that nothing else can be involved in it except human beauty.

Thinking that it has been three days, I can’t sell a skewer, but I have eaten a lot of it by the host. System 666 still said, “You have to have some ambition, sell the spicy hot pot.”

"Hey~" Mei Shi was also drunk when she heard this. "I am just an ordinary person. If there are superpowers in this world, you can beat zombies. If I go out, I will disappear. There is no living person on the street except zombies. What can I do?"

System 666 also didn't respond. This was because it calculated incorrectly and placed the Malatang store in the wrong place.

Mei Shi hadn't heard the system 666 squeaking for a long time. She wondered if she was talking too much, so she changed the subject and asked: "How far is this place from the nearest human survival base."

【The closest one is about 40 kilometers.】

"..." Forget it, when she didn't ask

———————————

In a corner of S City, there was a team of four people forming a team of supernaturalists fighting zombies.

"I'll go! What's going on? It's been a year, why are there so many zombies in S City?" A middle-aged strong man in the lead raised a ball of flames in his hand and threw them at the zombies.

Another woman who seemed thin was extremely powerful, hugging a white man wearing glasses beside her, who was walking through the zombies, while the man in her arms gently tapped the blades flying around her fingers, harvesting the heads of one zombie after another.

The last team member was also an extremely strong young man. He held an axe in his hand and crazily raised his sword and cut these first-level zombies into pieces like chopping melons and vegetables.

After an hour-long war of attrition, the zombies in this small area were cleaned up by them.

"Huh--" Captain Wang Meng breathed a deep breath, "Sure enough, there were so many people here before the end of the world came, and it was not an exaggeration to come." Captain Wang Meng was the man who had just used fire to deal with zombies. He sat on the ground and took out a box of deformed cigarettes from his pocket, grinning, "I just saw it in the store, it's OK."

After saying that, he lit the smoke in his hand and took a big breath and slowly exhaled the smoke ring. He sat on a clean chair with his eyes blurred as if he had returned to the past. The other three teammates took out the crystal core in the zombie's head, and sat around Wang Meng, counting the results of the battle.

Ji Fu, the only female in the team, said: "There are 30 first-level crystal cores in total, and three second-level and one third-level crystal core." The longest consumption of them was this third-level zombie.

"This is the border of S City, there are level 3 zombies, this city center..." He Bai, a man wearing glasses, said slowly, "If you go in again, you may not be safe."

Everyone nodded and remained silent. Although the end of the world gave humans the opportunity to protect themselves - superpowers, the superpowers also needed to upgrade, relying on this crystal core, and zombies also had upgrades. The higher the level, the more flexible the zombies, the more difficult it was to deal with. In addition to upgrading, the superpowers also needed to eat like ordinary people and other daily necessities. All of this needs to be exchanged for crystal cores or other rare resources in the survivor base.

This time they went out to search for supplies or zombie crystal cores, which was very important to their superpower team. However, the condition for the base to be allowed to leave the city this time was to bring back news about S City. After a year, human survivors still had some ideas about their former homeland. However, it is obvious that Wang Meng and his group did not seem to have any particularly useful news now.

"Let's do this, I know that there was a commercial street in this area in the past that was particularly prosperous, so we didn't push towards the center. We first check out the periphery, search for more supplies, and wait for other teams of supernatural abilities to come, and then get some information from them." Wang Meng decided to make the decision.

After hearing this, everyone agreed to this statement without saying much. After all, there were only two level 4 abilities in their team, and the other two were level 3, so it was not wise to go deep into S City. So the group drove a small pickup truck towards the direction where Mei Shi was.
