Chapter 1003: Doomsday Big Boss 7

Seeing this, Xu Jintang’s expression darkened instantly.

Hu Tongxia, on the other hand, rubbed his nose awkwardly.

For some reason, he had the distinct feeling that Tang Wan was angry.

Before, he wouldn’t have cared in the slightest. If anything, he might have mocked her just to make her even angrier.

But now…

For some reason, he didn’t dare.

Realizing this, Hu Tongxia scratched his head, puzzled by his own sudden change in attitude toward her.

…

Xu Jintang cast Tang Wan a cold glance, then turned to Liu Feifei.

“Feifei, come sit next to me.”

Liu Feifei hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.

“No, Jintang. I’ll sit with Wanwan. Everyone, let’s eat!”

The group had already been out gathering supplies for a long time. They were all starving.

At her words, everyone quickly picked up their forks and began cutting into their steaks.

The meat had been taken from a supermarket freezer—nothing compared to high-end restaurant fare—but in a world like this, it was already a luxury.

After all, in the apocalypse, having anything to eat at all was a blessing.

Countless people outside were starving, desperate for even a scrap of food.

Compared to them, being able to eat steak was an indulgence.

…

Seeing Liu Feifei refuse him and insist on staying by Tang Wan’s side, Xu Jintang’s expression turned even colder.

This Tang Wan—

Was she deliberately trying to interfere with his relationship with Feifei?

Unfortunately for her, no matter what she did, the only person in his heart was Feifei.

With that thought, Xu Jintang picked up his knife and fork and began eating as well.

…

After the meal, Tang Wan wiped her mouth and turned to Liu Feifei.

“Feifei, I’m going to the vegetable plot behind the mountain to grow some crops. You head back first.”

As a plant-type ability user, her main role in the base was to cultivate seeds and ensure a steady supply of vegetables.

The plants outside had all mutated due to the virus carried by the meteorites. Not only were they inedible—they might even attack people.

“Okay!” Liu Feifei nodded immediately.

Tang Wan stood up and left the dining hall without sparing Xu Jintang a glance.

Of course, she didn’t look at Hu Tongxia either.

…

But Hu Tongxia’s gaze followed her the entire time.

Seeing her leave so cleanly after eating, without even trying to linger near Xu Jintang, he felt oddly pleased.

So she really didn’t care about Xu Jintang anymore?

Before, her eyes would be glued to him the whole time.

But today, she hadn’t looked at him once. Instead, she had been quietly chatting with Liu Feifei.

Yet soon, Hu Tongxia’s mood turned sour.

Because—

She hadn’t looked at him either.

At that realization, he couldn’t help but feel a little depressed.

Still, when he thought about Tang Wan heading to the vegetable plot to grow crops, his eyes flickered.

A moment later, he stood up and left the table as well.

…

By the time Tang Wan arrived, she was already standing in an open area behind the air-raid shelter.

At present, the base had only about a hundred people, most of them ability users. The farmland they had cultivated wasn’t large, so her workload was still manageable.

But in just a few days, more survivors would arrive.

Within a month, the population would exceed a thousand.

By then, things wouldn’t be so easy anymore.
