"Ye Lei, is there anything else? Judging from your confident demeanor, this shouldn't be too difficult for you."

Zhou Binhui saw Ye Lei's slightly smiling expression.

"Okay, it's alright, you can all go back now!"

Ye Lei was about to begin outlining his plan.

"Okay, I'll bring the grain over to you after the harvest."

"no problem"

Zhou Binhui led his classmates away. It was better inside the narrow passage; there was no threat of high temperatures.

Ye Lei walked to the vegetable basket, picked out a big, round, and red tomato, and without washing it, just wiped it with his hand, took a bite, and found it to be sweet, sour, and juicy.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad!"

Ye Lei nodded in satisfaction. After so long in the apocalypse, being able to eat such fresh vegetables was practically a luxury.

"Brother Lei, is it really delicious?"

Seeing Ye Lei enjoying himself, Xu Jiao asked.

"You'll see once you try it, it tastes much better than those frozen ones!"

"Really? Then I'll try some too."

After Xu Jiao finished speaking, she couldn't help but take a tomato, take a bite, and was immediately captivated by its pure, original flavor.

"Wow, this is so delicious! Ladies, you should try it too!"

Xu Jiao invited the other goddesses to come and taste the freshest tomatoes.

"It really is delicious!"

"This tastes just like the finest delicacies!"

"This is the best food ever!"

"How come we never noticed this before?"

You've never tried it before, have you?

That's true.

…………

The goddesses were all moved by the fresh tomatoes, and they closed their eyes, immersing themselves in the delicious food.

"Brother Lei, I'll go to the dungeon by myself this time!"

Ma Jing suddenly walked over and said.

What are we going to the dungeon for?

Ye Lei had finished eating the tomatoes and was wiping his hands.

"That classmate just said that only my dad knows where Zheng Kai lives! I'll drive over and ask right now."

Ma Jing also wanted to take this opportunity to talk to her parents a little more.

"I'm not comfortable with you going alone. What if you run into the Zheng family and they kidnap you again? That would be a huge problem!"

Ye Lei said with a smile.

"What can we do? We can't let you make another trip; you're already exhausted."

Ma Jing is also a very thoughtful girl.

"No need, nobody needs to go, we have this now!"

After Ye Lei finished speaking, he took out a satellite phone and said...

"Oh right, how could I have forgotten!"

"Alright, we've almost finished eating, it's time for us to head back!"

"Alright, alright, let's go back. It's too hot outside. It's much more comfortable inside the shelter!"

Ye Lei put all the remaining vegetables into his spatial storage space. Anyway, his space has a preservation and quality control function, which might even be better than a freezer!

"Brother Lei, you guys rest, I'll go cook."

After Xu Jiao finished speaking, she walked towards the kitchen.

"I'll go help you."

Zhao Meili is also always busy.

"I'll go too."

"I'll go too."

With more people eating now, having a few more helpers makes cooking much easier.

Ye Lei took out his satellite phone and dialed Deputy Captain Liu's number, hoping he wasn't in the underground city; otherwise, he still wouldn't be able to get through.

Hello, who is this?

Thankfully, the call went through, and I heard Deputy Captain Liu's voice.

"Hello, Deputy Captain Liu, it's me, Ye Lei!"

Ye Lei said very politely.

"Oh, Ye Lei, you've only been gone a short while, is something wrong?"

Deputy Captain Liu knew that Ye Lei wouldn't come to the temple without a reason.

"Oh, is that so? I'd like to ask you to help me find someone."

"Looking for someone again? I didn't know you knew quite a lot of people."

"I'm just kidding," said Deputy Captain Liu.

"No, it's Ma Mingzhe, the one I asked you to find. Do you remember him? Do you know where he is now?"

"Of course I remember. I will definitely keep an eye on the people you, Ye Lei, found."

"Please find him and call me. I have something to ask him."

"No problem, it's a piece of cake, just wait!"

Deputy Captain Liu hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking, which is typical of soldiers' decisive and efficient work habits.

"Okay, all done!"

Ye Lei put down the phone and said.

"Brother Lei is really amazing, he knows so many people."

"Come on, those are all soldiers, we're not that close to them."

Ye Lei's interactions with soldiers from the very beginning were all for the purpose of making deals.

"Oh, I see."

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower. Let me know when the phone rings."

The continuous travel had left Ye Lei extremely exhausted, and he really needed to rest.

Just as Ye Lei finished showering and came downstairs, the satellite phone on the coffee table rang.

Ye Lei ran over in a few quick steps and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, is this Ye Lei? This is Ma Mingzhe!"

The familiar voice rang out again.

"Principal Ma, this is Ye Lei. I have something I'd like to ask you."

Ye Lei got straight to the point.

"What's wrong? Just tell me!"

"Isn't there a rich kid named Zheng Kai at our Tomato University?"

Ye Lei asked, feeling that the title was quite appropriate, because Zheng Kai did indeed give off an arrogant feeling.

"Oh, you mean Zheng Kai, who's very smart and comes from a wealthy and powerful family?"

Ma Mingzhe seems to know something about Zheng Kai.

"Hmm, I think so. Do you know where he lives?"
