Super Gene Hunting Ground

Ouyang Cheng directly picked up a piece of unknown meat and put it in his mouth to chew, then exclaimed in surprise.

The two glanced at each other and understood - the food in this restaurant was specially designed to enhance genetic evolution, no wonder only the city champions themselves were allowed in, and their subordinates couldn't enter.

Yang Xiao glanced around at the other patrons in the restaurant, all of whom sat in silence, enjoying their food.

The taste of the food was also quite unique, making one feel refreshed after eating.

Yang Xiao saw someone passing by carrying a small glass cup filled with a golden liquid.

"Could it be beer?"

Ouyang Cheng muttered.

"Who cares what it is, let's just grab a cup and drink first."

Yang Xiao went up to a dining table that had dozens of cups of golden liquid, picked up a cup, and returned to his seat.

He took a light sip - the taste was a bit spicy, but it also contained a strong current.

A moment later, a girl's voice rose in the restaurant:

"Dear city champions, today is your first day in Magic City. The buffet today at noon is unlimited. Starting from this evening, each person's portion for every meal will be limited. Please enjoy."

"What the hell, I didn't catch that?"

Ouyang Cheng, who was burying his head eating meat, raised his head asking Yang Xiao.

Without saying another word, Yang Xiao stood up, went over to the food table, grabbed a big bowl, and started to fill it with food as much as possible - damn it, can't miss a free meal like this.

Soon, everyone stood up and swarmed over.

Yang Xiao carried slowly two plates of food back to his own dining table and started enjoying them leisurely, the restaurant became lively, and everyone was chattering away.

"Brother, that's enough, there are still people behind us who haven't got theirs."

"Leave some for me, please."

"Could we all be a bit more civilized? It's not like we've never eaten before, everyone's acting like starving ghosts."

"Why don't you say that while going back to your own seat?"

"Cough, are you guys even city champions? Embarrassing!"

...

Originally a group of youths quietly eating their meals, the city champions from various places, now suddenly came alive, and it didn't seem to matter if they couldn't get any food, everyone started chatting with each other.

"Brother, which city are you from?"

"Chongqing? Great place, lots of beauties."

"The beauties their mother died out."

"And you?"

"From Wu City."

"The ice fish there are still good, right?"

"Ah, they're almost dug out too."

...

Ouyang Cheng carried an empty plate back, only a few green blades of grass were on it; seeing Yang Xiao's two big bowls of various foods, he looked envious.

"Bro, you're awesome!"

Yang Xiao chuckled and shared some of his food with him, Ouyang Cheng quickly thanked him.

Yang Xiao realized that the so-called 'unlimited' was simply not restricting people from taking food, but until they finished eating, there were no servers bringing new food.

Everyone waited for a while, someone went to ask the beautiful staff at the door, and the answer was:

"That's all the food they have."

"Not unlimited?"

"Yes, there's no restriction on how much you can take!"

Everyone looked dumbfounded at the beauty at the entrance and could only sulkily return to their seats to continue chatting.

After the meal, Yang Xiao surprisingly found out that he could enhance one attribute point in Wisdom or Defense. Of course, this is a restaurant and it's not convenient to improve genetic attributes here, so he planned to enhance them when he returns to his room later.

"What a pity, this is the only meal that we can have a feast. I guess there won't be this much food available later."

"Brother Yang, you ate two large plates, probably the most among all of us here, and you're still not satisfied?"

Yang Xiao smiled and asked,

"How many levels does Yunwu City have now?"

"Level 18."

"Only level 18? Aren't you by the sea? You should be able to take as many resources as you want."

"What's the use of being by the sea if there are no people? Yunwu City has only over 30,000 people. Digging for Ice Fish from the sea requires a lot of manpower; it's not that easy."

Yang Xiao nodded.

"Ouyang, what is your current Evolution Level?"

"Not high, Enhanced Gene Intermediate. What about you, Yang Xiao?"

"Me? Our Nanmu City has scarce resources, I barely managed to reach Enhanced Gene Primary Level. By the way, have you been to the desert? Why haven't I seen you there?"

"Of course, I've been there, but I haven't seen you either. I heard them say, the desert is vast and divided into many areas; maybe we entered different areas."

...

The restaurateurs began to lively exchange information, discuss various bizarre stories after the apocalypse, and the current urban development status.

There weren't many city kings who arrived at Magic City today at noon, only a handful.

Per Yang Xiao's estimate, the entire Xuanming Country has over thirty provinces, each province having at least ten city kings. Thus, there should be three hundred city kings coming here for the meeting.

The few dozens of city kings in the restaurant began to connect with each other, get familiar with each other, most of them were at least Enhanced Gene Intermediate level or above, and there were only three people including Yang Xiao at Enhanced Gene Primary Level, and none were at a higher level.

After finishing the meal, everyone agreed to go outside to take a look, as it was the first time for many to visit Magic City after the apocalypse, they wanted to see the condition of this level 25 city.

Since everyone had this idea, Yang Xiao also went out with them.

Exiting the Financial Building, everyone immediately felt a bone-chilling cold.

It's easy to adapt from simplicity to luxury, but hard from luxury to simplicity. After staying in the well-heated rooms and restaurant of the Financial Building and feeling extremely comfortable, suddenly going out to the minus thirty degrees outside was indeed a big contrast.

Fortunately, for these masters with enhanced genes, such severe cold was nothing, and their bodies adapted quickly.

Yang Xiao saw the busy Transfer Array far in the plaza; more and more people were arriving at Magic City through the Transfer Array, and a dozen beautiful women were shuttling around, escorting new city kings into the building to be arranged in their rooms.

Ouyang Cheng's subordinate, Ouyang Hai, also finished his meal and followed them out.

Ouyang Cheng asked:

"Haizi, how was the food in the restaurant? Was it good?"

"Ah, don't even mention it, damn, all Ice Fish. Each person could have ten jin from the huge Ice Fish laid on the floor of the room. It's terribly unpalatable, and the only thing worth mentioning is the bowl of hot soup everyone got."

The expressions on Ouyang Hai's face were as if he had eaten dog food.

Outside Magic City, there were very few pedestrians. Occasionally, one could see a few individuals hastily crossing the snowy fields outside. The whole city was as lifeless as Nanmu City.

As the group walked along, seeing the familiar skyscrapers collapse one by one, buried in the white snow, and looking at the wounded sight of the once Magic City, everyone felt a bit heavy inside.

As the human homeland, Earth was so fragile it was heartbreaking, overnight it had turned into ruins.

These dozens of people were all city kings, all struggling to lead a surviving population of a city through the apocalyptic world, slowly carving out a path to live. However, how far can this path be walked? No one had a firm answer in their heart.

Wangchuan River was completely frozen, and the ice in the river was flipped over, occasionally a few individuals were seen picking up discarded Ice Fish on the ice.
