House Rules

Someone knocked on the door just as I arrived. I had just obtained the ingredients and hadn't had time to prepare yet.

Directly opening the door of the restaurant, Xiao Feng was stunned.

"Is it you?"

"Do you know me?"

The man outside the door was immediately stunned, looking at Xiao Feng with some caution.

"Cough, well, I don't know you, what's the matter?"

Xiao Feng pretended to speak normally.

"I've heard that the fallen Yu Lin City has a restaurant, but I didn't expect it to be real!"

At this moment, the man outside was stunned.

Unexpectedly, in this completely occupied Yu Lin City, which was already in ruins and completely taken over by zombies, there was such a finely decorated restaurant.

Inside the restaurant of about 100 square meters, everything was neatly arranged on ten tables, each covered with exquisite tablecloths, which looked like the owner had carefully prepared.

Xiao Feng examined the man who was covered in scars, and then stepped aside to let him in.

This man was none other than the one who had just escaped from the biological research institute.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Zhang Lei, from Shelter No. 8. My people in Yu Lin City are all gone, and I'm the only one left. Can I come in and hide?"

Zhang Lei implored Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng understood his situation; people from Shelter No. 9 would be arriving soon. If he went back the same way, they would definitely intercept him on the way.

So the only way was to wait in Yu Lin City for a while and figure out what to do after they left. That's why Zhang Lei came to the Great Potential Restaurant.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely safe here. As long as the customers order food here, I can guarantee their safety," Xiao Feng confidently said.

"Can you really guarantee my safety?"

Zhang Lei asked eagerly.

"Yes, I can absolutely guarantee your safety. Whether it's zombies or other survivors, there are no personal grudges here. But once you step out that door, I won't be responsible," this was a rule Xiao Feng had come up with last night.

In addition, he had prepared a signboard in the morning. The signboard clearly stated:

Restaurant Dining Rules:

1. All restaurant dining customers are entitled to safety.

2. Fighting and violence are strictly prohibited in the restaurant.

3. Those who do not follow the rules will face the consequences.

4. Restaurant's dining time is one to two hours. After two hours, if you wish to continue dining, you may place another order. Note: Each dining session requires ordering the restaurant's signature dish.

5. Restaurant's dining customers are entitled to a 20% bonus energy recovery.

6. The restaurant introduces a membership system. The first recharge of ten thousand energy values makes you a Bronze Member of the restaurant, enjoying all the above benefits and future discounts of 5%.

7. TBD.

These were all the rules and regulations that Xiao Feng had come up with. He believed that with these rules, the business of the restaurant would definitely prosper in the future, especially the condition of ensuring customers' safety inside.

Just this alone made Xiao Feng's Great Potential Restaurant much better than the other restaurants.

After reading the dining rules, Zhang Lei took out a crystal core without hesitation and placed it on the table.

"I'm here to eat!"

Looking at the crystal core, Xiao Feng immediately smiled.

"Alright! Today's signature dishes are Razorback Mountain Goat Buns and Braised Bloodfang Wild Boar Knuckle!"

Saying that, Xiao Feng wrote down these two signature dishes on a small blackboard.

"Wait a moment, making the signature dishes will take some time. Have a drink first!"

After that, Xiao Feng walked into the kitchen.

He took all the ingredients he had harvested today into the kitchen.

However, while he was cooking in the kitchen, Xiao Feng suddenly heard a commotion outside.

In a hurry, Xiao Feng walked out and saw that Bai Meng and the others from Shelter No. 9 had surrounded Zhang Lei with a group of over ten people.

"What's going on? Why are you causing trouble in my restaurant?" Xiao Feng, wearing an apron and holding a knife, walked straight over.

In the crowd, Bai Zhi, upon seeing Xiao Feng, immediately put down her weapon.

"Cough, sorry, boss, we have some personal grievances to settle, we'll go out to resolve it!" Saying that, Bai Meng shouted to the others.

"Take him outside!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lei was completely panicked, looking at Xiao Feng with pleading eyes.

"Wait a minute!"

Xiao Feng stopped Bai Meng and the others, then pointed to the small blackboard at the door and said, "Look, these are the rules I set just yesterday. This gentleman is a customer of our restaurant and has the right to be protected by me. If you want to fight outside, fine, but don't touch my customers. Do you understand?"

They all looked at the small blackboard. As they looked, their faces slightly changed.

After a moment, Bai Meng reluctantly nodded and said to Xiao Feng,

"Alright, boss's rules, I'll follow them. But we're here to eat too. I want to see how long this guy Zhang Lei can hold on!"

With that, Bai Meng put away his weapons, and then ordered everyone to sit down.

"Boss, what's there to be afraid of? It's just a cook! With so many of us, what are we afraid of!"

Just at this moment, a man holding a submachine gun and dozens of grenades on his body stood up and shouted in frustration.

"Sit down? Are you ordering me?" The man showed no regard for Bai Meng, speaking with a mocking smile.

"This time, we didn't bring any mutant potions. After going back, I will report to Dr. Jia about you. I made a deal with Dr. Jia and my father. We will jointly removed you from your commander position. Killing Zhang Lei, the deputy commander of Shelter No. 8, would be a significant accomplishment. So, even if you don't want this credit, I'll take it!"

With that, the man aimed his gun at Zhang Lei without hesitation.

Bang!

The gunshot rang out.

A burst of bullets were shot at Zhang Lei.

"No!"

Bai Meng was instantly flustered and quickly shouted.

But it was too late.

Zhang Lei instinctively covered his head.

But in the next moment, Zhang Lei found that he had not been shot.

He quickly checked his body and found that he was unharmed. However, at the same time, there was a person standing in front of him.

"Boss?"

It was the restaurant owner who had shielded him from the burst of bullets.

On the other side, the man who had fired the shots saw his bullets hitting the restaurant owner. But incredibly, they all bounced off and fell to the ground.

Everyone was completely stunned.

"I told you, no fighting is allowed in the restaurant. My customers are under my protection. You... can go and die!"

With that, Xiao Feng reached out his hand into the air.

It was as if an invisible hand had grabbed the man's throat and slowly strangled him in mid-air.

The man's face instantly turned red, and he struggled, but it was of no use.

Whoosh!

The next moment, Xiao Feng swung his right-hand chef's knife.

In mid-air, the man was directly cleaved in half.
