Chapter 171 Preparing for the New Year

"How serious is it?"

Liang Zhimo recalled, "When he was carried back, he was covered in blood. It was said that when he was escaping, he accidentally fell and hit his shoulder on a rock, breaking it, and his thigh was bitten. It must be quite serious."

Chen Qingke is so spoiled, she must be crying to death!

Liang Yingsheng couldn't help but gloat: "So do you want to save him? If not, just let him die?"

Xiao Yan happened to pass by and heard Liang Yingsheng's words. He couldn't help but glance at her sideways.

Liang Yingsheng disagreed, "Forget it, let's save him, lest others say that our Liang family is heartless."

Xiao Yan stopped and cast a questioning look at Liang Yingsheng.

Isn't she ruthless enough?

Noticing Xiao Yan's presence, Liang Yingsheng simply gave him a provocative look and asked, "Do you want to treat him now?"

Liang Zhimo nodded.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

In order to survive, everyone needs to go out to search for supplies, and it is inevitable that they will get injured. After the people from Jiangnan Middle School moved in, Xiao Yan had someone build a wooden house as a clinic.

This was the first time Liang Yingsheng came in. The entire wooden house was only a dozen square meters, with a bed and two chairs inside. There was a rusty iron cabinet on the wall near the door, and the cabinet door was locked. Through the glass on the door, you could see some common medicines placed inside.

Chen Qingke was lying on a wooden bed. His wounds had been simply treated. Painkillers were scarce and he didn't dare to use them casually. He could only endure it and groan from time to time.

No one was present except the nurse on duty.

Seeing Liang Yingsheng, Chen Qingke's eyes lit up, "Shengsheng, I know you have feelings for me. Shengsheng, please ask your brother to help me treat it. From now on, I will treat you well. Can we still be as loving as before?"

Pulling over a chair and sitting down, Liang Yingsheng crossed his legs. "What the hell are you dreaming about? When have we ever been affectionate? How come your sweetheart, Sun Hanxue, didn't see you coming over? As a girlfriend, not coming to take care of you? Tsk tsk, that's too much!"

When Sun Hanxue was mentioned, Chen Qingke's expression changed. "I have nothing to do with that woman anymore."

"Oh? It doesn't matter. You're not good enough. You're as thin as a bamboo pole. How can you satisfy her?"

"Please don't talk to me like that. It really hurts me. I'm in so much pain right now. Can you give me some painkillers?"

Liang Yingsheng ignored him and winked at Liang Zhimo.

Liang Zhimo understood and opened the medical kit he carried with him. "Our conditions are limited. Please be patient, Mr. Chen."

Liang Yingsheng decisively left the infirmary. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Chen Qingke's pig-slaughtering screams behind him.

"He's her ex-boyfriend after all. Does Miss Liang seem to have some deep hatred for him?"

A familiar male voice sounded. I turned around and saw Xiao Yan leaning against the eaves of the wooden house opposite.

He changed into casual clothes and put on a thick black down jacket.

The neat short hair had grown a lot longer and was a little messy due to the wind.

Liang Yingsheng moved closer and saw the cigarette butt held between his slender fingertips.

His height of nearly 1.9 meters made him look particularly oppressive. Liang Yingsheng rubbed his neck and said, "Captain Xiao, you're smoking here openly. Aren't you afraid that those survivors who don't have cigarettes will get jealous?"

"So," Xiao Yan said arrogantly, "how dare they do anything to me?"

Indeed, those survivors' confrontation with Xiao Yan was like an egg against a rock.

Liang Yingsheng shrugged. "I heard from Yan Baoan that the Black Hawk Club has been keeping a low profile lately. Yuan Xuyang will sneak in with Uncle Yi tomorrow. So, Captain Xiao, do you need me to continue using the honey trap?"

It is said that the leader of the Black Hawk Society is extremely lustful. It's not that she is narcissistic. She was not considered a top beauty before the apocalypse, but after the apocalypse, she is definitely a flower in the shelter.

He flicked the cigarette butt away with a slight bend of his fingertips, and the flickering cigarette butt sank into the snow and went out instantly.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly and suddenly changed his mind. "Not for now. The New Year is coming soon. What are your plans for the first New Year after the apocalypse, Miss Liang?"

"What can we do? Can we go out and catch a few zombies to liven up the atmosphere?"

Fortunately, it is extremely cold now. If it were normal weather, let alone the New Year, no one would dare to go out.

However, I have to say that this place is well chosen. It is backed by a cliff, and as long as the mountain road is well guarded, it is still very safe in a short period of time.

"So Miss Liang likes this."

Xiao Yan answered according to her words.

"Why, Captain Xiao, are you willing to help me catch zombies?"

…

In the blink of an eye, it was early January.

This year's New Year came early, at the end of January, and the extreme cold is still continuing. There were several heavy snowfalls in the past two days, and one of the wooden houses collapsed. Yan Baoan brought a few people to repair it.

Xiao Yan and others returned to the strategic base half a month ago. The Black Hawk Society attacked the strategic base twice in a row, and Xiao Yan went to take charge of the situation.

In the space, another crop of fruits and vegetables has been harvested, two ewes are pregnant, and there are many more chickens, ducks and geese.

Liang Yingsheng helped Zhou Lanxin smoke the bacon, while Liang Qiuwen and Liang Zhimo took a net to the pond to catch crayfish.

"You haven't been in a good mood these past two days. Are you sick?"

During this period, she would casually come to the RV to have breakfast. On weekdays, she would stay and chat with everyone after dinner. But this morning, she was unusual and went back to the dormitory to sleep after dinner.

Zhou Lanxin treated Suiyi as her own daughter, and as she spoke, she couldn't help but feel worried.

"That child has helped you a lot. If she needs help now, we can't refuse!"

"Don't worry, I have nothing to do with you."

After hanging up the smoked bacon, Liang Yingsheng began to slack off. "She's malnourished. I gave her two bottles of calcium tablets a couple of days ago. I guess she's weak from the relatives coming over."

Zhou Lanxin sighed, "I'll ask your brother to catch an old hen later. We'll stew it in the space and then bring it to the RV. You can call Suiyi over and we'll give her a good nourishment."

While everyone else ate rice bran and dried meat, their family's food was considered pretty good, but they didn't dare to eat too much meat or fish.

When I come here casually, I just eat white flour buns with porridge, and occasionally make some dumplings stuffed with pickles. Even these are delicious dishes for me.

He would often take out his own stored food and would never eat or drink for free.

"Security Guard Yan said that the shelter will give out ten kilograms of bacon and ten kilograms of rice on New Year's Eve, and Captain Xiao will also send some New Year's goods. Although the world is different now, this New Year, inexplicably, feels like the happiest one."

Zhou Lanxin packed out some new clothes, some casually, some from Yan Baoan's family, some from Yuan Xuyang's family, some from Yi Songping and that international friend Abu. No one had prepared a set.

Now, we are a team, supporting each other along the way, and in the future, we will still be together unless unexpected happens.

"Security Guard Yan has worked tirelessly and dedicated a lot to the shelter. One of the newly built cabins belongs to his family. Yesterday, Sister Yan came to see me and told me that we should gather in their cabin for a reunion dinner on the first day of the new year."

The RV has limited space and cannot accommodate so many people.
