"Students, you can't do this! Have you all forgotten why we're here?"

Zhou Binhui was so frightened that he squatted down.

"They gave us food, but you didn't have any. I'm sorry!"

Seeing the growing number of classmates surrounding him, Zhou Binhui became completely anxious.

"Ye Lei, help me!"

Ye Lei realized that if things continued to escalate, someone might actually die, which was not what he wanted. He just wanted to teach him a lesson.

"Alright, all of you, stop it! I didn't say that whoever hits him will get instant noodles!"

Ye Lei stopped the riot in time.

"What do you want in return for instant noodles?"

"Exactly, how can we get food?"

"We'll listen to whatever you say."

…………

These people can switch sides immediately for a bite to eat, which disgusts Ye Lei.

"Do you want some food?"

"think"

"Of course I want to."

"Okay, as long as you can provide me with valuable information or help me, and contribute to the safety of the shelter, I will give you food."

A mere bowl of instant noodles is nothing to him.

"Then tell me what to do?"

"If you see anyone trying to vandalize or occupy the shelter, or blocking the school gate, just come and report it to me immediately."

This undoubtedly adds another layer of protection to the shelter.

"Okay, you mean it?"

Keep your word

Ye Lei certainly wouldn't deceive them for a little bit of food.

“Let’s go and stand guard at the school gate. If anyone dares to harm the shelter, we’ll report it immediately.”

"good"

"Let's go, we're leaving."

The students gradually descended the mountain and headed towards the school gate, leaving only Zhou Binhui behind.

"Dear Chairman Zhou, aren't you leaving yet?"

Ye Lei walked over with a smile.

"Go, go, I'm leaving right now, don't come any closer."

As if waking from a dream, Zhou Binhui, like a frightened bird, quickly stood up, tucked his tail between his legs, and slunk away.

Seeing his disheveled appearance, Ye Lei couldn't help but burst into laughter, his laughter as loud as a bell.

As Chen Xueer watched everything unfold before her, she grew even more impressed with Ye Lei's intelligence and wisdom. It also made her realize the true nature of people in the apocalypse, revealed in their struggle for survival.

In fact, isn't she the same way herself?

As Ye Lei led them into the shelter, the moment the door closed, the women inside swarmed out like a disturbed swarm of bees.

"Brother Lei, you're amazing!"

"Brother Lei, you're practically my idol!"

"Brother Lei, you're so handsome!"

…………

Ye Lei was actually used to this kind of praise.

"You all saw it?"

"Yes, we're all watching from the monitoring room, we're just waiting to cheer you on!"

"No need for that. If Principal Ma finds out you're here, it will only cause more trouble."

As the four most beautiful girls at Tomato University, Principal Ma must know them all. If they were all with him, that would be terrible. He probably wouldn't let it go easily!

"We didn't dare to utter a sound because we saw Principal Ma."

"Yes, that's right. Don't expose yourself too easily, or you'll only get into trouble."

Ye Lei understood, of course, that in the apocalypse, keeping a low profile was essential for survival.

"That's for sure. We wouldn't dare utter a single word without Brother Lei's approval!"

"Haha... You still need to fart, otherwise, it's bad for your health!"

Ye Lei also took the opportunity to tease the girls.

"Brother Lei, what are you talking about? I was just using an analogy. You actually took it seriously. She's the school beauty. It's so embarrassing to talk nonsense like that!"

"Farting is shameful! Farting more helps expel waste from your body, which is good for your health. Don't you understand that?"

"Okay, I'll fart more from now on, okay? Haha..."

"Ha ha……"

A joke made everyone laugh.

"Wait a minute, something's not right. I feel like we don't have enough people!"

Ye Lei then realized that they didn't have enough people!

"Oh, you mean them? Xia Yuhe said she wasn't feeling well, and Sister Xiuyan is upstairs examining her. Tang Xiaoting has been fiddling with the equipment manufacturing platform the whole time; I don't know what she's doing!"

"Oh, I see. I'm a little hungry. Xu Jiao, go and cook!"

"Okay, what would you like to eat, Brother Lei?"

Upon hearing about cooking, Xu Jiao immediately became interested; it's her only hobby.

"Hmm, let's keep it simple today, how about hand-pulled noodles? Do you know how?"

"Yes, yes, of course I can!"

"Then let's make hand-pulled noodles. We'll prepare a few different toppings, since everyone's tastes might be different."

Ye Lei saw that there were more and more goddesses, and he had to take good care of each of them.

"No problem, leave it to me, I'm off!"

After Xu Jiao finished speaking, she went into the villa's kitchen.

"Yes, you all should go help out. It's tiring for one person to cook for so many people."

"Okay, Lei-ge, bye-bye!"

Once everyone had entered the villa, Ye Lei strode briskly towards the equipment manufacturing platform like an arrow.

He was eager to know about Tang Xiaoting's progress; perhaps she was facing a thorny problem!

Sure enough, from afar, one could see Tang Xiaoting standing there like a statue, her brows furrowed, as if she were being suffocated by an invisible mountain.

"Xiaoting, what's wrong?"

Ye Lei walked over and asked.

"Brother Lei, you're finally back! I've run into a huge problem."
