"This can only show that there are many people in this park, and the place has been cleaned." Su Mi said lightly, looking at Chen Jin who had a worried face.

"Old Chen, what are you thinking about? Hello!" Ma Dexiang patted Chen Jin, interrupting his thoughts.

"Goose told you before that several teams from Goose's base came to the park to search for supplies, but they never returned. Goose was wondering if we should inquire about their whereabouts."

Su Mi said calmly, "Chen Jin, you are a very responsible person.

But don't forget that your mission this time is to search for supplies. But I saved your life. Your main mission here is to bring us back to the base, right? "

Chen Jin sighed and nodded, "Goose knows what you mean, girl, Goose, don't go looking for them."

Su Mi felt relieved. Fortunately, Chen Jin was not a rigid person. "How long will it take to get to the base from here? You have also seen that the cross-sea bridge is full of cars. We can only walk for the time being."

"If you walk back to the base, it may take a day. Firstly, there are still many dangers on the way, and secondly, you need some food to check into the base."

Under Chen Jin's careful explanation, Su Mi and others also learned that if those who first arrived at the base did not turn in food, they would need to work for the base to earn food to pay the rent.

If there is food, the better the environmental conditions of the house, the more food needs to be handed over. Naturally, the fresher the fruits and vegetables, the more expensive they are. If you have them, you can exchange a small amount of fresh fruits and vegetables for a more comfortable living environment.

"Goose knows that you are not willing to join the army, so if you want to live more comfortably, you will need a lot of food."

After Chen Jin's explanation, Su Mi and others had some confidence.

"We still have to travel during the day, so let's take a good rest tonight. I'll keep watch, Su Mi. We, the grown men, can just sleep downstairs. There are beds upstairs. You, a girl, can sleep upstairs."

"Yes, boss, go and have a rest. Let's go search for some supplies at dawn."

Su Mi naturally accepted the kindness and looked at Tiantian, "Child, do you want to come up and sleep on the bed?" Su Mi felt a little uncomfortable letting a child sleep on the floor.

"I am a man, not a child."

Su Mi shrugged, it would be better for her to sleep alone. I went upstairs and locked the door. I wanted to enter the space to rest, but suddenly there was a strange noise outside.

The sound sounded very far away, like the crashing waves on the shore, or the sound of a toad jumping on the ground. Then there was the sound of strings, similar to teeth chewing.

But soon, these sounds disappeared again.

Su Mi always felt a little nervous. Thinking of what Chen Jin said about the teams that came to this cross-sea industrial park to search for missing supplies, she always felt that there might be some connection between them, right?

So Su Mi did not enter the space to sleep again, but lay on the bed in the room, closing her eyes and listening to the sounds outside.

The sound of the crashing waves appeared again after a while. Then there was the "click-click" sound that she had a bad association with, and then there was the sound similar to the grinding of rodents' teeth.

Moreover, the sound appeared repeatedly this time, getting closer and closer, and Su Mi became a little wary.

But suddenly there was a sound of flapping wings, and the previous sound disappeared in an instant.

The sound of the wings moving is not like the flapping of feathered wings of birds, but is closer to the amplified sound of high-frequency vibrations of insect wings.

Just like that, after it was dawn and Su Mi was sure that the sounds had disappeared, she entered the space and slept for an hour.

Sleeping in the space, even just for a short while, gives her a lot of energy. When I went downstairs with my backpack on my back, I didn't feel tired at all after staying up all night.

On the other hand, the four people downstairs, although their eyes are dim and confused every day, they are in the best spirits.

The other three people must have heard the sound, so they stayed up all night and their eyes were bloodshot. Qin Hao was in good spirits because he drank the concentrated version of the stream water she gave him.

But something was wrong with Chen Jin's body at this time. Especially the cheeks are a little different red.

Su Mi knew at a glance that this guy had a fever.

"Chen Jin, can you leave like this?"

Although Chen Jin was depressed, his back was straight. "Goose will definitely do what he promised you. Any minor injury or illness will be cured soon."

Su Mi took out a few packs of compressed biscuits and chocolates from her bag and distributed them to several people. There was not much water left in each person's hands. Su Mi suddenly took out a few bottles of water and distributed them to everyone.

"Chen Jin, why didn't you take a few sips of the water I gave you before?"

He had already drank all the water he had given to Ma Dexiang, so this guy returned from exhaustion, but his body recovered quickly. The wounds on his body are slowly scarring.

Tiantian was young, so Qin Hao controlled the amount of water he drank, a little at a time, so there was still a lot left. Qin Hao didn't drink too much water himself. What he drank on the plane before was taken from her space.

"Water is too precious now. Look at this store, there is no water at all, and you may not be able to find a source of drinkable water. The water you give the goose, the goose wants to drink slowly."

"Drink it. You have a fever now and need to replenish water. You don't want to hinder everyone's trip to the base, right?"

Chen Jin sighed, "That's fine." Then he drank most of the bottle in one go. Seeing that Su Mi was still staring at him, she glanced at the water bottle in her hand distressedly, and then drank it all in one breath.

Before Su Mi went downstairs, her tent and luggage were packed. Qin Hao was holding the tent box in one hand and Tiantian in the other, Su Mi was carrying the suitcase and carrying a black backpack, and Chen Jin was supported by Ma Dexiang.

As soon as they walked out of the supermarket door, they were greeted by a gust of cold wind.

"Chen Jin, was it so cold before you came out to search for supplies?"

"It's also very strange. Before the geese came out, the temperature was still ten or twenty degrees. Why is it now colder during the day than at night? It's hard to understand."

"Dad, there are fireflies." Tiantian pointed to the ground not far away and said.

Su Mi looked in the direction Tiantian was accusing, and sure enough, there were many corpses of fireflies on the ground beside the small stone bridge.

Su Mi walked over, knelt down, took a look, and picked up one of the firefly corpses from the ground.

"Huh?" Although the firefly is dead, its belly is still shining with a faint green light. It separated from its body with just a slight touch.

Su Mi suddenly had a bold idea in her heart. She poured a stream of water into her palm, and then soaked the firefly's abdomen in the stream in her palm. Sure enough, this faint green light is getting bigger and bigger. At this time, Su Mi even felt that this luminous crystal was not just the abdomen of a firefly, but perhaps an independent magical species between living things and non-living things.

There were still a lot of firefly corpses on the ground. Several people saw Su Mi picking up the firefly corpses. The head-butting person quickly finished handling the corpses on the ground. Even if they wanted to help, they couldn't keep up with Su Mi's speed.

Su Mi took out an empty bottle, poured some stream water into it, and put these crystal stones with a faint green light inside.

When you pick it up and look at it, it looks like a water bottle lamp with green light.

"Wow, sister, what a beautiful little lamp."

Su Mi smiled and said, "Yes, if there are more, it can be used as a lighting tool. But I don't know how long this thing can shine."

If a light source can be permanently emitted, it will be a different kind of blessing for the nights without light sources after the end of the world.
