Chapter 549 Joining the Kitchen Team

At the same time, the four soldiers slowly approached the cockroach in a tactical outflanking maneuver.

In their hands they all held a serrated dagger.

Lu Xiao soon discovered that their positions were very particular.

All of them avoided the attack range of cockroach legs.

The four people worked together and quickly removed the cockroach's foot joints with the jagged dagger in their hands.

White liquid continued to flow along the fracture.

Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows.

He looked at the half-eaten off-white cake in his hand, and then looked at the white liquid flowing out.

He instantly understood that what he was eating now was food made from that thing.

So he hurriedly asked: "Brother, what are you doing?"

The leading soldier said with a relaxed look: "We are from the cooking detachment."

"Our job is to collect food."

As he spoke, he glanced at the thing in Lu Xiao's hand with a teasing look.

"The protein bar you eat is made from this stuff."

Lu Xiao nodded expressionlessly, then stuffed the remaining half of the protein bar into his mouth.

The expected reaction did not come, and a look of disappointment flashed across the soldier's face.

The cockroach that had its legs removed was like a piece of fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

The soldiers first cut off its limbs, then took out a bowl-shaped container from the backpack and began to catch the flowing white liquid.

Weird roars could be heard all the time.

However, no one present had any reaction to this.

At this moment, another soldier who was not involved in dismembering the cockroach had dug a small hole in the ground.

He took out the solid fuel from his bag and placed a large pot on it.

Under the high temperature provided by the solid fuel, the iron pot quickly burned red.

Soon, the soldiers in front brought over the containers filled with liquid.

They poured the liquid in the container into the pot in turn.

The moment the white viscous liquid comes into contact with the iron pot, a burst of white smoke rises.

The sound of "Zizzizi" was endless.

There was a burning smell similar to burning hair.

Lu Xiao took a deep breath, and then said with an intoxicated expression on his face: "It smells so good!"

Hearing Lu Xiao's words, the leading soldier's mouth twitched.

Then he gave Lu Xiao a thumbs up and said, "He is a cruel person!"

"Brother, do you want to consider joining our army?"

"At least... you won't be hungry! Hahaha!"

As he spoke, he let out an exaggerated laugh.

Lu Xiao nodded and agreed without thinking.

His goal is just to survive anyway.

It doesn't matter where you live.

At this moment, the leading soldier took out the crumpled cigarette again.

He leaned down and lit the cigarette by the flame of the solid fuel.

Then he took a deep breath.

"Huh~ It feels so good!"

Seeing this, the other soldiers hurriedly gathered around.

The leading soldier smiled angrily and said, "Don't worry, one person at a time!"

"If anyone takes one more puff, I'll break his mouth!"

After saying that, he took another deep breath and passed the cigarette on.

A group of soldiers gathered around the pot and began to smoke.

Lu Xiao knew that in this environment, the value of items such as tobacco and alcohol would rise infinitely.

In an extreme doomsday environment, it is no joke to exchange one cigarette for one life.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiao's favorable impression of the group of soldiers in front of him increased a lot again.

Because at the beginning, they planned to use this cigarette to exchange him for the ownership of the cockroach.

After smoking, they started to get busy again.

They separated the cockroach's carapace using special means and then ground it into powder using the instruments they carried with them.

Finally the powder was added to the pot.

At this time, the liquid in the pot gradually solidifies after being cooked at high temperature.

Looking at the bubbling gray-white cake body, Lu Xiao swallowed unconsciously.

Finally, one of the soldiers cut the completely solidified paste in the pot into strips.

Regardless of the scalding heat, they packed it quickly.

The leading soldier handed a steaming egg white bar to Lu Xiao and said:

"It's not bad to eat this while it's hot."

"If you want to join our army, eat this one first."

"When we get back, we will allocate them to you according to your needs."

"If you don't want to be bound by the army regulations, then I will give you more points, and you can leave now."

The reason why he wanted to win over Lu Xiao was entirely because of Lu Xiao's performance just now.

Able to face a mutant cockroach without the help of any weapons.

While causing harm to the other party, oneself is not injured.

This is certainly something that civilians without professional training cannot do.

Therefore, he also developed a love for talents.

He knew very well how bad the living environment of the lower class civilians was.

Apart from anything else, if Lu Xiao chooses to join them, at least he will definitely not go hungry.

The army is also the last line of civilization in this world.

Lu Xiao took the protein bar, blew on it, and began to enjoy it.

Looking at Lu Xiao's narrowed eyes, the leading soldier knew that the other party had made a choice.

Then he extended his hand and said with a smile: "Brother, welcome to join us."

"There is no condition for you to have the enlistment ceremony now."

"I will make it up to you when there is a chance."

"Also, my name is Dan Guofeng, and I will be your direct captain in the future."

"I don't care about other times, but during the mission, you must obey my command!"

As he said, his expression gradually became serious.

Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then reached out and held the other party's arm and said:

"Dan is a rare surname."

…………

Soon, Lu Xiao followed Dan Guofeng back to the army camp.

After Dan Guofeng ordered the team members to hand in the harvest, he took Lu Xiao around the camp.

He walked and smiled and said: "I have reported your situation."

"The superior welcomes your joining."

"It's just that we don't have time for formalities now."

"I'll take you to collect your rations, and then prepare to go on the next mission with us."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao nodded gently and said: "No problem."

"As long as I don't go hungry, everything is fine."

Hearing this, Dan Guofeng smiled and said: "Hahaha!"

"You don't have the energy to fight on an empty stomach."

"Don't worry, as long as you are not picky about food, the army can still keep you full."

Lu Xiao grinned: "I can eat everything except shit."

"I'm definitely not picky about food."

Lu Xiao's positive attitude made Dan Guofeng couldn't help but give him a thumbs up again.
