CHAPTER 363: GIANT BOILED EGG

When they entered the room, Chen Qianxiao said, "I’m sorry for the inconvenience. There is no empty room at the base, and all of you might need to squeeze in with me for a while."

The room was only twenty square meters in size, and there was only one desk, one chair, and one single bed. Seeing this, Jin Xuyan said, "We can sleep on the floor."

Chen Qianxiao nodded and closed the door. After he locked it, he turned to Jin Xuyan and asked, "Brother Jin, why did you agree to Wen Hao’s request? It will take months to get enough supplies to support everyone in this base. It’s impossible to solve the problem in one week."

Jiao Lizhi took out several thick carpets and placed them on the ground so everyone could take a seat.

After sitting down, Jin Xuyan said, "I didn’t promise to give him supplies."

Hearing this, Chen Qianxiao asked again, "Then, what do you plan to do?"

"He only asked me to solve his base’s food shortage problem. But he didn’t say how he wanted to solve it. Since that was the case, we can just relocate the survivors. Without having to support so many survivors, the base won’t face a food shortage problem," Jin Xuyan explained casually.

When everyone heard his words, they only thought that he was as shameless as the rumors said.

Who would think about taking advantage of the loophole in the deal?

After a moment, Chen Qianxiao said, "Brother Jin, your plan is indeed able to solve the food shortage problem. But there is another problem here. How can you relocate the survivors?"

"You don’t have to worry about this. My team will solve it. You only need to communicate with the soldiers and keep this matter confidential," Jin Xuyan said.

The moment he finished his words, Jiao Lizhi took out a bottle of pond water from her space and asked, "Brother Chen, do you want to drink some water?"

Thanks to her, the solemn atmosphere was broken instantly. Chen Qianxiao stared at the bottle of water for a moment before he took it and said, "Thank you."

Since he was Chen Qianfeng’s brother, he could be counted as their family. So, Jiao Lizhi didn’t think that sharing some water and supplies with him was a problem.

While Chen Qianxiao drank the water, she had already taken out several self-heating lunchboxes, sausages, and a boiled egg. The moment she took out the boiled egg, everyone was stunned.

Pointing at the massive egg, Xiao Qi asked, "Sister-in-law, is that a dragon egg?"

Hearing his question, Jiao Lizhi laughed and said, "It’s not a dragon egg. It’s a mutant chicken’s egg. When we went to the husbandry, Brother Yan and I found several mutant chicken eggs."

"Is it edible?" Xiao Qi asked again.

Although Jiao Lizhi was sure that this egg was edible, she still gave him a vague answer. "I don’t know, so I took it out to try."

When he heard her words, Xiao Qi swallowed and gave her a thumbs-up. "Sister-in-law, you are indeed courageous. You even dare to try this giant egg."

Jiao Lizhi gave him an eye roll and took out a small hammer from her space. The shell of the mutant chicken’s egg was thick and hard to break. She didn’t want to turn the egg into a mashed boiled egg, so she had to use a hammer instead of her fist.

Knock! Knock! Crack!

After several knocks, the egg finally cracked. Jiao Lizhi continued hammering the egg gently until it was covered with cracks before she peeled off the shell.

Not long after, the smooth, boiled egg was ready to be eaten. The members took a sniff at the egg and realized that it smelled the same as a normal chicken egg. The difference was that this egg was more fragrant.

After she cleaned the shells and put them into her space, Jiao Lizhi took out a long knife from her space and started to cut the egg. She placed the pieces into a tray and said, "Come, give it a try."

Everyone hesitated to try it because the egg yolk’s color looked as if it had been poisoned. Chicken egg yolk should be yellow or orange in color, but this egg yolk was dark blue.

While everyone was hesitating, Jin Xuyan took the biggest piece of egg yolk and ate it with relish. It had been a long time since he had eaten the mutant chicken’s egg.

Compared to the normal chicken egg, this mutant egg contained energy and tasted like meat instead. It was savory and fragrant.

Seeing that no one was eating, Jiao Lizhi took another large piece and started to eat.

When the two of them reached for the second piece, the members finally reacted and competed with each other to get the largest piece available. In a blink of an eye, a tray of boiled mutant chicken’s egg was gone.

Chen Qianxiao was still in shock even after everyone was eating the egg. Noticing that his brother had nothing to eat, Chen Qianfeng handed a piece of boiled egg to him and said, "Brother, try it. It’s very delicious."

Since it was given by his brother, Chen Qianxiao didn’t refuse and accepted it. As he took the first bite, he thought that even if he was poisoned, he wouldn’t blame the Phantom team.

After he swallowed the egg, his eyes lit up as he felt a warm energy flow into his body through his throat. He savored the taste carefully before saying, "This egg is really delicious!"

Jiao Lizhi had already finished her portion and was eating braised duck feet right now. Hearing his words, she nodded and replied, "It also contains energy that is beneficial to ability-users."

Hearing this, Chen Qianxiao let out a sigh and said, "Unfortunately, there are no more mutant chicken’s eggs. No matter how good it was, it is a rare item."

When she heard this, Jiao Lizhi only smiled and said nothing. After all, when the second wave passed, they would have lots of mutant animals to worry about. By then, they might be able to eat mutant animals’ meat too.
