Chapter 549 Joining the Kitchen Team

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

In their hands, they all held a serrated dagger.

Lu Xiao soon discovered that their positions were very particular.

They all avoided the attack range of the cockroach's legs.

The four of them worked together and quickly removed the cockroach's leg joints with the serrated daggers in their hands.

White liquid continued to flow along the broken part.

Lu Xiao raised his eyebrows.

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

He instantly understood that what he was eating now was the 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 mission is to collect food."

As he said that, he also glanced at the things in Lu Xiao's hand with a teasing look.

"This protein bar you are eating is made from this thing."

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

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

The cockroach with its legs removed was like fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.

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

The strange roars continued.

However, no one present had any reaction to this.

At this time, another soldier who did not participate in the dismemberment of the cockroach had dug a small pit on the ground.

He took out solid fuel from his bag, and then 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 containers filled with liquid.

They poured the liquid in the containers into the pot one by one.

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

The sound of "sizzling" continued.

A burnt smell similar to that of burnt hair came.

Lu Xiao took a deep breath, and then said with an intoxicated expression on his face: "Fragrant, too fragrant!"

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

Then he gave Lu Xiao a thumbs up and said: "He is a ruthless man!"

"Brother, do you want to consider developing in our army?"

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

As he said that, he let out a very exaggerated laugh.

Lu Xiao nodded and agreed without thinking.

Anyway, his goal is just to survive.

It's the same wherever he lives.

And at this moment, the leading soldier took out the wrinkled cigarette again.

He leaned over and lit the cigarette with the flame of solid fuel.

Then he took a deep breath.

"Huh~ It's so cool!"

Seeing this, the other soldiers hurriedly surrounded him.

The leading soldier laughed unhappily: "Don't worry, one puff each!"

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

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

A team of soldiers began to smoke around the pot.

Lu Xiao knew that in this environment, the value of items like cigarettes and alcohol would rise infinitely.

In an extreme doomsday environment, a cigarette for a life is really not a joke.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiao's favorability towards the team of soldiers in front of him increased again.

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

After smoking, they started to get busy again.

The cockroach's carapace was separated by them by special means, and then ground into powder with the instrument they carried with them.

Finally, the powder was added to the pot.

At this time, the liquid in the pot gradually solidified after high-temperature cooking.

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

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

Regardless of the scalding high temperature, they quickly packed it.

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

"This thing is good to eat while it's hot."

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

"When you go back, you will be allocated according to your needs."

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

Without the help of any weapons, he was able to face a mutant cockroach.

While causing damage to the other party, he was not injured.

This is something that civilians who have not received professional training cannot do.

Therefore, he also had a heart of love for talent.

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

Apart from anything else, if Lu Xiao chose to join them, at least he would definitely not be hungry.

And the army is also the last bottom line of civilization in the world now.

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 anything 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.
