Chapter 80 Preparations Before the Rescue

After deciding to go and rescue them.

Ji Zai then went back to retrieve her treasure.

Before long, a crowd had gathered downstairs.

Nan will definitely go, since she has to drive.

Speaking of which, the dormitory building should celebrate, because the truck was preserved.

It got very dirty because a lot of dust settled on it during the high temperatures.

But that's okay.

As long as it works, that's fine.

Records are not selective.

Tian Mimi was fertilizing when she noticed that all the important members of the alliance (in her opinion) had come down. She asked curiously, "Alliance Leader, what are you planning to do with all this fuss?"

Liang Qiyue, Ouyang Yi, and Nan Yao all came down.

Since the supplies were all brought back by these girls, seeing them gathered together after so long made Tian Mimi think they were going out to get supplies again.

I immediately thought of the two hundred hungry mouths in the dormitory.

Tian Mimi stopped talking.

Ji Zai stretched and said, "Come back quickly after you're done fertilizing. We need to wear these protective suits to rescue people."

"Okay, President, go and gather everyone. We're going to go get some food."

Ouyang Yi nodded and then went upstairs.

Tian Mimi quickened her pace, "Alliance Leader, are we going out to move food again? Wait for me, I'm going too."

Ji Zai didn't hide anything and said, "We still need to go to the laboratory building to rescue some people, but before we do, we need to stock up on some food, just in case."

Although I did promise to go and rescue them.

However, Ji Zai was not sure if those people would obey.

So it's best to make two plans first.

Food is one part.

Self-protection is another aspect.

She narrowed her eyes and said, "After the person is rescued, I plan to put them in Building 5, keep an eye on them, and if any of them disobey, I'll just throw them out to feed the zombies."

If it weren't for the deal with Li Henghua, Ji Zai really wouldn't have planned to save the person.

Rescuing people is risky, but Li Henghua, being a spy, is indeed worth the risk.

If we can successfully steal the antidote.

Then Ji Zai would have made a fortune.

It doesn't matter if you didn't steal it.

Consider it saving a few baits.

You can throw it out to feed the zombies when needed.

For some reason, Liang Qiyue, who was standing next to Ji Zai, felt a chill when she saw those dark eyes. She moved closer to Nan Yao and said, "Nan Yao, don't you think the Alliance Leader's expression is scary? He looks like a legendary BOSS about to go crazy."

“I noticed, but I don’t care why the leader is so eccentric, since she’s always been eccentric.” Nan Yao glanced at it. “I’m more concerned about whether the bomb will blow us up.”

Liang Qiyue: "......"

Yes, they are in dire straits right now, and there is a risk that they could all be wiped out by a bomb.

Thinking of this, the two trembled with fear.

Mamma mia.

There's a bomb here, a live bomb.

Ji Zai felt no fear whatsoever. Looking at the contents of the explosion-proof box, her eyes held no fear of zombies, only anticipation of her own bomb exploding.

As she thought about it, her mouth was practically watering.

Soon, Tian Mimi finished applying the fertilizer.

This time, we used fertilizer that the agricultural students had stockpiled. It didn't have a pungent smell, so we could use it directly after taking off our protective suits.

Ji Zai gave one of the sets to Nan Yao, saying, "Go and bring the car over quickly."

Nan nodded, put on the clothes, and drove off.

Tian Mimi stood aside because she was going to participate.

After the other guy fertilizing the vegetables took off his protective suit, Ji Zai finally saw what she looked like—the girl named Manman.

She was a little timid.

But still curious, he looked them over and asked, "Alliance Leader, are you going out?"

Ji Zai nodded, "Yes, go get some food."

Hearing this, Manman was quite excited. "Then, Alliance Leader, can we sign up for temporary workers?"

“Temporary workers won’t do,” Ji Zai said. “You have important things to do. Now, go and prepare clean water and cook porridge. There will be plenty of people waiting for you to take care of them later.”

Manman was somewhat disappointed upon hearing the first half of the sentence.

But I heard the second half of the sentence.

She was happy again.

Because listening to it means someone needs to do the work.

As long as you work, you can get food, water, and a bath.

So when Manman heard these things, she didn't feel tired; instead, she felt that she would soon be able to eat her fill.

So now they're full of energy. "No problem, Alliance Leader! I'll have Yang Le and Qing Shuang go boil water and cook porridge right away."

With that, she skipped and hopped upstairs.

Ji Zai could feel her vitality just by looking at her.

Liang Qiyue said, "I remember her. She was quite timid and always hid behind her two older sisters. She was afraid of everyone she saw."

"It's normal. This is post-traumatic stress disorder, a sequela of experiencing something very painful. Don't be fooled by our current normality; we may still have it after we leave this apocalyptic environment."

Liang Qiyue fell silent.

The records are correct.

The apocalypse is cruel; it treats everyone equally, those who haven't yet experienced hardship.

The reason they are doing well is because their resilience is unconsciously increasing, and their bodies are helping them adapt to this apocalypse.

However, once they escape the apocalypse, all the reactions they have now will be post-apocalyptic traumatic stress disorder.

It may be something you can never get rid of for the rest of your life.

Liang Qiyue didn't say anything more.

Soon, Ouyang Yi came down, followed by a group of people. "I've brought the person to you."

Ji Zai nodded, and soon, the sound of a car was heard.

Nan invited me to drive back.

Ji Zai put on his raincoat and said, "Alright everyone, take your umbrellas and be careful not to get too wet, otherwise you might turn into zombies. This mission is quite risky, so I hope you can protect yourselves."

"Now, get in the car."

The others nodded.

Ouyang Yi stood under the car and said, "I'll stay in the dormitory to oversee the temporary workers' preparations. Be careful in everything you do."
