safe house.
"tasty."
Duanmu Feng ate all the food in the lunch box, not even a grain of rice was left.
"As long as you like it."
Xu Qing replied with a smile and began to slowly put away the lunch box and chopsticks.
"You cooked this yourself, right?"
Duanmu Feng wiped his mouth and asked softly.
"how do you know?"
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, looking a little surprised, and couldn't help but stop what she was doing.
"I know the craftsmanship of Lao Meng in the cafeteria. Although it is reasonable, after all, it is a "big pot meal" and cannot be so meticulous."
"This was obviously made in a small stove."
Duan Mufeng showed a smile on his lips, looked at Xu Qing seriously and said.
"What I didn't want to say at first was eaten up by you."
Xu Qing tidied her hair sheepishly and said slowly.
"Thanks."
Duanmu Feng said sincerely.
"It doesn't matter. If you like it, I can cook it for you every day."
Xu Qing shook her head and said equally seriously.
"You can do it, but I can't eat it."
But Duan Mufeng shook his head and rejected Xu Qing.
"Why?"
Xu Qing was puzzled and looked straight at Duan Mufeng and asked, with a flash of disappointment on her face.
"We are in the last days. Even I don't know what will happen tomorrow. If we live too comfortably, people will die."
Duanmu Feng smiled bitterly and explained slowly.
"You don't even know?"
Xu Qing understood the deep meaning of Duanmu Feng's words, her expression became a little nervous, and she asked in confusion.
"The enemy of alien species is always changing. Their abilities and terror are indescribable. They have always tried to kill all humans."
"One-third of the glacier season has passed, and maybe they will show up soon."
Duan Mufeng nodded affirmatively, slowly took out a cigarette and lit it, but after taking a puff of smoke, he glanced at Xu Qing, stood up and went to the window, opened the window, leaving a thin gap to let in the smoke. They all floated out of the window, along with the slightest warmth in the room.
He was worried that the smell of tobacco would offend Xu Qing and that Xu Qing would mind.
He had never been like this before.
"I see that Captain Wu brought many people out of the siege this afternoon. Did they go on a mission?"
Xu Qing hesitated and asked softly.
"Do not ask."
"He has his things to do, you have yours, we all have our own things to do."
"Those children are the hope of the future of mankind. I hope you will worry more about them."
Duanmu Feng shook his head and said meaningfully.
"Don't worry, I will."
Xu Qing nodded affirmatively, without hesitation, she had long understood Duan Mufeng's intention of taking those children into the safe house.
Duan Mufeng said nothing more and stood quietly in front of the window smoking a cigarette.
"Then if nothing happens, I'll go out first."
Xu Qing hesitated for a moment and said slowly.
"good."
Duanmu Feng responded casually, cherishing the word like gold.
"No matter what, as long as you are here, there is hope for everything. This is my idea, and it is also the idea of all the survivors living in Hope City."
Xu Qing left a word, turned around and slowly left the room with her lunch box.
Duan Mufeng stood in front of the window, looking at the sun gradually setting in the sky, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
I don’t know if Wu Jun’s actions in City B went smoothly or not.
...
B city.
Haitian Shopping Center.
Wu Jun stood in front of the car, gnawing on a piece of expired instant noodles in his hand, watching his subordinates load boxes of supplies into the car, with a smile on his lips covered in condiments.
Their trip was worthwhile. Although the entire city B was severely damaged by mutants and mutant beasts, and there were signs of looting of supplies, there were still some remaining supplies.
Other groups also sent back the news one after another, and each found supplies, which was quite a harvest.
B City is a city larger than E City, so there are many large supermarkets like this. More than a dozen vans came, almost all of them full.
In this way, the material shortage problem in the City of Hope will be solved directly.
"Everyone, work harder. We have to rush back soon. When we get back, we can have something hot to eat. I have already notified my family and prepared a feast for everyone."
Wu Jun swallowed his last mouthful of instant noodles and shouted to everyone.
"yes!"
All the Tianlong Guards smiled and nodded, answered loudly, and worked harder.
Due to limited conditions, they just ate some expired instant noodles while working, to resist their hunger a little.
In the past, expired items like this would have been thrown away long ago, but now that the environment is harsh, it would be nice to have something to eat. Who cares if it is within the shelf life.
What's more, it's just instant noodles. Even if you eat it, you won't die.
Half an hour later, all the supplies were loaded into the truck, so Wu Jun contacted several other groups and set off back to Echeng at the same time.
On the street, three vans were moving forward slowly. In order not to attract the attention of possible ice corpses in the city, they did not turn on the lights and drove very slowly, trying to ensure that they did not make a big noise.
"Hey, did you hear that? Captain Wu has already notified his family and prepared a reception banquet for us. We can have a warm meal when we get back."
The driver said expectantly while driving.
"I know, brothers have spread the word!"
"This is my first time on the field after joining the Tianlong Guard. I feel nervous and excited. Fortunately, I didn't encounter any danger along the way."
A young man sitting in the passenger seat nodded and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, this is not the first time for me, but I have always followed Team Tang before."
"It will be okay. If you are in danger, I will protect you."
The driver smiled and said half-jokingly.
He was a little older and seemed more experienced.
"Okay, then I'll rely on you!"
The young man smiled and nodded.
The two were talking and laughing, chatting here and there, passing the boring time.
We are about to leave the city. After leaving the city and crossing the B'E Bridge, we will reach the boundary of E City. It will be safe then.
"Bang..."
But at this moment, there was a loud noise outside. The car suddenly lost control and skidded to one side. The driver hurriedly applied the brakes to stop the car.
"what happened?!"
The young man was stunned for a moment and asked nervously.
"It's okay, the tire burst."
The driver said casually, took a flashlight, opened the door and got out of the car.
The young man also jumped down hastily.
"wrong!"
But then, the driver showed a solemn expression, and before he could finish his words, he hurriedly took out the gun in his waist and turned around to look around.
"What's wrong?!"
The young man came closer and saw the driver looking like he was facing a formidable enemy. He asked confusedly and subconsciously reached for the gun at his waist.
"It's a ground thorn! There's someone nearby!"
As the driver spoke, he looked around carefully and made a few gestures to his companions who got out of the vehicle behind him.
Seeing the driver's actions, everyone felt as if they were facing an enemy and took out their weapons.
The young man was a little nervous. He quickly took out his gun, stood with the driver, and looked around with wide eyes.
Since it was already getting late, except for the moonlight overhead, there was almost no light in the entire city B. It was pitch black all around, nothing could be seen, and it was so quiet that it was heart-breaking.
"Could there be a mistake? Maybe it was bad luck and the tire was punctured by something."
The young man swallowed and tried to calm his nervous mood.
He had already checked it, and several holes could clearly be seen on the damaged tire.
"No! I've seen what it looks like after a tire is punctured by ground thorns. Someone must have done it on purpose!"
The driver shook his head and held the walkie-talkie to his ear as he spoke.
"Who could it be? There are still survivors in City B..."
"Shh!"
The young man originally wanted to say something, but before he could finish his words, the driver made a silencing gesture.
At this moment, a small sound suddenly reached the ears of both of them at the same time.
Before the driver could use the intercom to report to Wu Jun, a black shadow suddenly came quickly from the darkness and pounced directly on the young man who was looking sideways at the driver!
"careful!"
The driver exclaimed, not caring to continue reporting, and hurriedly pulled the young man aside, turned around and used his back as a shield to protect the young man...
