Chapter 340 First Arrival at the Base

When it was almost four o'clock, Shi Jiaojiao woke up Wang Jia and Tang Wei who were sleeping soundly together.

There were eyes everywhere outside, so forget about washing. The four of them and their two children simply brushed their teeth.

After returning to the car, Shi Jiaojiao took out two thermos cups.

When I was cooking noodles yesterday, I boiled a lot of hot water and poured it into a thermos. Now when I open it, the water is still warm.

Shi Jiaojiao was afraid that the water was not hot enough, so she secretly added a little water boiled in the golden house.

Then he took out six bags of oatmeal and washed them down with the water in the thermos.

Oatmeal is easy to eat and contains sugar and milk, which can provide more calories.

Wang Jia and Tang Wei took it over directly. Now they were no longer as awkward as they were at the beginning.

We usually have three meals a day, but if we keep being so formal, it will become unbearable.

The two men were not ignorant people and had a scale in their hearts. If they couldn't help with materials, then they would work harder on gold and other things.

Lu Yan had just received two pieces of chocolate and was still a little dazed.

Before the end of the world, he had no shortage of food like this. He would only take a bite of chocolate, fruit candies, crispy candies, and all kinds of snacks.

When my sister was young, my parents were afraid that she would get cavities, so they made her eat less. But even if she ate too much, so much time has passed in the blink of an eye, and I guess my sister must have forgotten the taste of candy a long time ago.

Lu Yan clenched the chocolate in his hand, and at this moment his whole heart seemed to be burning.

But before he could calm down, a bowl of prepared oatmeal appeared in front of him.

He really felt helpless. The other party was so good to him and his sister, so good that he didn't know how to repay him.

Shi Jiaojiao glanced at Lu Yan and said nonchalantly, "This is your reward for keeping watch last night."

Lu Yan was stunned and looked over.

Remuneration? How can it be so high?

Besides, I just wanted to do my best to help and never thought about any reward, not to mention that they just gave me two pieces of chocolate.

Lu Yan wanted to refuse, but Shi Jiaojiao directly stuffed the oatmeal porridge into his hands.

"Since you are helping me, then listen to me. I don't need this little food."

Wang Jia also advised: "Eat quickly, we will leave soon."

Having said this, Lu Yan had no choice but to accept it.

He felt a little unworthy, but was afraid that if he simply refused, he would make the other person angry.

Lu Zhao, who was sitting obediently beside him, had already started drooling at the sweet smell of the oatmeal porridge, but she would not move until her brother spoke. Not only did she not speak, she didn't even glance at him.

When her brother handed her the oatmeal and she saw him nod, she began to eat it voraciously.

At this time, there were already quite a few people walking around outside the bus. Some were busy packing their things to get on the bus, while others were in a hurry to go to the toilet before leaving. There were quite a few people, so it looked very noisy.

Shi Jiaojiao looked out the window. Her two lifetime experiences made her prefer to be alone. She didn't like this kind of hustle and bustle, or rather, she was not used to it.

When Mu Ci was lying in the hospital, she was the only one left in the family, and the hustle and bustle around her only made her feel more lonely.

Especially during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.

In the past, some friends would invite her to their parties, but she never went.

She knew that the other person meant well, but she couldn't help but feel awkwardly that the other person was pitying her.

But now, looking at the hustle and bustle outside the window, she felt full of joy in her heart, and felt that everything around her was full of vitality.

The sounds of talking and walking outside, as well as the soldiers' instructions, seemed to merge into a melody, completely covering up the cruelty and desolation of the end of the world.

Just then, the voice from the walkie-talkie in her hand interrupted her thoughts.

It was the Qin army that notified the troops to set off.

Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci got off the car and exchanged seats with Tang Wei and Wang Jia.

After getting in the car, she stopped talking and leaned against Mu Ci, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.

If nothing goes wrong, we will arrive at the base tonight. We don't know what the situation is at the base yet, so we must get enough rest on the road.

Mu Ci stretched out his arms and carefully held Shi Jiaojiao in his arms, making her more comfortable, then he leaned his head against hers and fell asleep together.

Lu Yan also didn't sleep in the middle of the night. After telling his sister not to talk, he also closed his eyes.

The rest of the journey was relatively peaceful. Apart from some road conditions that were not very good to travel on, there were no accidents or sudden disasters like before.

When it gradually darkened, everyone finally saw the gate of the shelter.

It is not quite accurate to call it a gate. What comes into view are two simple two-story buildings. Next to the houses is a special fence with several armed soldiers standing on the side to prevent others from entering.

The entire base is not empty now. It was originally a military base and there are many soldiers left here.

In addition, there are many top elites who were escorted here when the end of the world came.

The rest are wealthy people who obtained places in the base by donating large amounts of property before the end of the world.

The entire base covers a large area and looks rather empty. The houses inside do not appear to be tall either, with the tallest one only having six floors.

This is also to prevent any sudden accidents in the future where the survivors live too high to escape.

However, since we cannot build higher, the buildings can only be built more densely.

It's easy to imagine that this place doesn't just accept the survivors from City S, all the surrounding cities are taken over by this base.

How can we accommodate so many people if there aren't enough buildings?

Shi Jiaojiao looked out through the car window and saw many workers busy working not far away.

The sudden appearance of the convoy also attracted a lot of people's attention.

They are the survivors of the evil deeds committed in the past few years. All the survivors of the crimes in the past few years have been caught here by the authorities.

After all, building a base requires a lot of labor, and there is no condition to put them in jail now.

If they really have to go to jail, then that won’t let them enjoy themselves!

Of course, these people do not stay in the base at night after finishing their work.

The base doesn't kill all these people at once. Working or having outstanding performance will increase their credit points. When the credit points cross the line, these people can move into the refuge base.

After the convoy stopped, the Qin army got off and handed over to the soldiers guarding the fence.

Brother and sister Lu Yan also looked out the window curiously.

Is this where they will live from now on?

Everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity, anticipation, and a bit of uneasiness.

Only Wang Jia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had an increasingly heavy expression on his face, without a trace of a smile.

In fact, Wang Jia's face looked a little ugly when they were on the road. The closer they got to the shelter, the more she gritted her teeth.

Past memories kept emerging in her mind, including scenes of herself arguing with her parents, scenes of her shopping with her mother, and the smug look on her father's face when he waved his hand and reimbursed all her expenses after she came back.

But the scene finally freezes on the moment when my parents died tragically.

Mom was covered in blood and not breathing, and Dad was still worried about himself before he died.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel the bitterness in her heart. Her heart felt like it was pierced by needles, full of holes. After the pain, a cold wind blew past.

In the past few years, she has been trying hard to live, just to let her parents in heaven see that she is very obedient and to put their minds at ease.

But at this moment, all the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart over the years suddenly burst out, and the pain was so severe that she could hardly breathe.

Wang Jia gritted his teeth and stared at the shelter not far away.

The refuge base is the future home for others, but to her it is just four words.

To avenge.
