With this thought, Zhou Yong gained some confidence and opened the car door to get out.
As Chu Jin led Zhou Yong towards the cafeteria, Shang Qi and Su Ling, who had left earlier, had already arrived.
Upon arriving at the cafeteria, they went directly to the kitchen and took a portion of the giant python meat to the person in charge of cooking.
After handing over the giant python meat to the cafeteria staff, Su Ling and Shang Qi left the kitchen and returned to the dining hall.
Dinner was prepared, but the meal was delayed today.
This was because Su Ling and Shang Qi had returned with giant python meat, providing an extra treat for everyone.
Furthermore, consuming this giant python meat had a remarkably significant effect on enhancing the abilities of ability users.
By the time Su Ling and Shang Qi returned from the kitchen to the main hall of the cafeteria, the queues had become very long, with two lines.
The kitchen staff sliced and portioned the giant python meat that Su Ling and Shang Qi had provided, placing it in serving dishes next to the other dishes as an additional offering.
As the extra dishes were brought out and placed, the queues of people waiting for dinner continued to move forward.
Everyone took a tray, filled it with a steaming hot bowl of rice, or for those who didn't like rice, they took steamed buns. Once the staple food was sorted, they proceeded to the serving area to get their desired portions of dishes according to their appetite.
For the extra dish, the person serving it specifically put up a sign, noting it as giant python meat.
The initial reaction of most people to the giant python meat was one of hesitation.
Some, who were not put off by it, took a small portion, then carried their food to find empty seats and began to eat.
Compared to the other dishes, the giant python meat was not very popular.
Snake meat, to those who liked it, was delicious and irresistible.
To those who didn't, it was terrifying, making their scalps tingle with aversion.
When the other dishes were largely consumed, the giant python meat, as an extra offering, remained almost untouched.
It wasn't until Su Ling and Shang Qi reached the front of the line and each took a portion of the giant python meat that others behind them tentatively started to take small amounts.
As for Gu Shangse and others, Su Ling and Shang Qi had already informed them of the effects of the giant python meat, so they all took a portion. Those who ate the giant python meat before Su Ling's group, after tasting its deliciousness, directly returned to the serving area to get more.
It wasn't that the other dishes were unappetizing, but rather that the appearance of the giant python meat was like a divine culinary gift.
The meat of mutated animals in the post-apocalyptic world seemed to have evolved specifically to be food for survivors, with its tender and exquisite texture. Even with simple cooking, the taste that reached the mouth was a delicacy.
Seeing those who had taken the giant python meat returning for more, others became curious.
Then, seeing Su Ling and her group also taking the giant python meat, everyone grew restless. Those who hadn't taken any of the giant python meat got up one after another to get a portion for themselves as an extra treat.
When Chu Jin arrived with Zhou Yong, everyone had already finished getting their food and were seated, chatting and eating.
Zhou Yong was once again stunned by the scene in the cafeteria.
The cafeteria was crowded, the aroma of food was exceptionally rich, and the atmosphere of interaction and camaraderie was very good.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that such a scene could exist after the apocalypse.
Chu Jin, already ravenously hungry, saw Zhou Yong standing there dumbfounded again. He spoke, "Don't just stand there like an idiot. Go get a tray, get your food, find a seat, and eat, watch, and understand slowly."
Zhou Yong nodded and followed behind Chu Jin.
He looked around as he walked. Chu Jin hadn't lied to him, nor had Su Ling.
The dinner was truly lavish, making his mouth water.
Zhou Yong was hungry, and his stomach rumbled. He quickly grabbed a tray, then scooped a large spoonful of rice and took two steamed buns.
After getting his dishes, Chu Jin added a portion of giant python meat and looked at Zhou Yong, saying, "Eating this is nothing but beneficial for ability users."
