Doomsday: with unlimited warehouse system
31 This is life
David said goodbye to Arnold and returned to Sally's house. Sally was still asleep, so David decided to make himself breakfast. He went to the kitchen and took out two Angus steaks, preparing to cook a black pepper steak.
First, David used the back of a knife to tenderize the steaks. This is done to loosen the meat fibers, resulting in a tender and juicy texture and better flavor absorption during marination.
After tenderizing the steaks for nearly three minutes, David proceeded to marinate them with salt, onion juice, sugar, red wine, and black pepper. While marinating, he took out two large bottles of milk from the storage space and heated them in a milk pan. He poured the heated milk into two cups and fried a few eggs on the side. By this time, the steaks were almost done marinating.
David placed a piece of butter in a pan and waited for it to melt before adding the steaks to be seared over high heat. The purpose of high heat is to quickly sear the surface of the steaks, sealing in the moisture. When the steaks were almost done, he poured the remaining marinade over them and covered the pan with a lid, simmering them over low heat.
After a few minutes of simmering, David estimated that they were ready. He uncovered the lid, took out the steaks, and placed them on a plate, drizzling them with the sauce. The enticing aroma filled the air, and David cut a small piece to taste. The flavor exceeded his expectations, with the center of the steak being pink and tender, and the juices rich.
David had used high-quality steaks, and even with a simple cooking method, he was able to create a delicious and appetizing meal. He placed the fried eggs and steaks together on a plate, and added some sliced tomatoes and pickles for presentation. His mouth-watering breakfast was now complete. Looking at his creation, David gave himself a perfect score for this homemade breakfast. The steak was flavorful, tender, and visually appealing, easily rivaling those served in professional Western restaurants.
In the past, David wasn't skilled in cooking, but in the month leading up to the apocalypse, he started experimenting with cooking to ensure he wouldn't have to eat poorly in the future. He even spent money to receive remote guidance from a professional chef online. This led to significant improvement in his culinary skills within a short period.
At this moment, Sally woke up and came out of her room, coincidentally seeing David busy in the kitchen. "Mmm, it smells so good. What deliciousness are you making?" she exclaimed.
David walked out of the kitchen holding two steaks,he say: "Pan-seared steaks. I made one for you too," Sally looked at the steaks, emitting steam and a rich aroma, and her eyes lit up.
"Wow, they look amazing!" Sally approached David and hugged him, giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you."
David could clearly sense that Sally's gaze towards him seemed different today. When she looked at him, her eyes sparkled with love.
Having been accustomed to wandering alone in the apocalypse, David felt a bit uncomfortable with suddenly having a woman by his side, looking at him with such affectionate eyes. He looked at Sally with a tinge of disgust. "Did you brush your teeth? Don't come kiss me."
"Hmph, you're rejecting me? Then I definitely want to kiss you," Sally said playfully. When David wasn't paying attention, she hugged him again and pecked his cheek twice. She held onto him tightly, just like a koala, refusing to let go.
David showed a helpless expression. Since becoming a superpower, Sally's physical abilities had also improved significantly. Although they were just playing around, when she hugged David, he could clearly feel that her strength was much greater than that of an ordinary person.
With this level of power, with a little training in combat skills, she could easily take down several adult men. Superhumans were like that, not only possessing special abilities but also having overall physical superiority over ordinary people.
"Stop fooling around and eat breakfast. I have something to do later," David said.
"Hehe, understood," Sally said, finally letting go of him and heading to the bathroom to freshen up.
David sat down at the dining table and started enjoying his breakfast. Although it was just a simple meal, it made David feel grateful. In his previous life, he often went hungry to the point of feeling dizzy and blurry-eyed, sometimes going for days without finding anything to eat. It couldn't compare to the present, where he woke up to such a lavish breakfast.
"This is the life," David couldn't help but exclaim. After they finished breakfast, Sally volunteered to wash the dishes. Meanwhile, David took out his phone and started studying on a map app, preparing to find the next stronghold.
After Sally finished washing the dishes, she sat down next to David. "By the way, what do you have to do later?"
David didn't plan to hide it from her. "I'm going out to collect some mutant crystals."
Worry appeared in Sally's eyes. "Then I'll go with you. There are so many zombies outside, and I'm a bit worried if you go alone."
After awakening their superpowers last night, they experimented with their abilities in the room. Being a new awakened individual, David didn't have much experience either. However, fortunately, after awakening, it was as if his abilities became his instincts, and he could almost use them skillfully.
Sally, on the other hand, could already control lightning proficiently. With the intensity of the lightning she released, instantly killing an adult or a zombie was a piece of cake. However, David decisively refused her offer.
"No need, there's something else I want you to do," David said, taking out 30 mutant crystals from the storage space and placing them on the table. With their current strength, they could absorb about 30 mutant crystals in a day. Absorbing more crystals would put an additional burden on their bodies, and the body needed some time to digest that energy. However, for newly awakened ordinary superhumans, whether they could obtain 30 mutant crystals in a day was already a question. The probability of finding crystals in a zombie's head was about one in three.
David had killed nearly a hundred zombies in the supermarket to obtain 35 mutant crystals. Newly awakened superhumans not only had less energy in their bodies but also recovered slowly. Usually, after releasing their abilities about 10 to 20 times, their energy would be depleted, and they would need a long time to recover. Moreover, it wasn't guaranteed that every time they used their abilities, they could kill a zombie. So, a superhuman who could collect ten mutant crystals in a day was already considered very strong.
However, David's backpack contained a whopping 3.6 million mutant crystals, so he wasn't worried about running out. These mutant crystals would allow him and Sally to quickly improve their strength in the early stages and create a gap between them and other superhumans.
David said to Sally, "You stay at home today and absorb these mutant crystals. Then, practice your lightning ability."
