Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent st...

Chapter 411 Leaving

When Shen Yanming came back, Bi Qiaoan was almost asleep. After briefly talking about what happened tonight, the two fell asleep.

Li Sikai, who was lying on the bed thinking about the future, was awakened by a scream.

"Li Sikai, I'm going to find Qin Yuncheng!" Yuan Ruoxi rushed into the tent and shouted angrily.

Li Sikai was frightened and shuddered. He looked up at the person who looked strong but was actually weak. He had no intention of getting entangled with her, so he called Sun Sailei to take her away.

Yuan Ruoxi had a lot of things prepared but none of them worked. She was breathless, glared at a few people, and walked away angrily.

An hour later, Sun Sainan came back. Before anyone could ask, he said, "Captain Qin compromised and agreed to let Tong Xianbao and Lu Nanfang stay with her, but without a regular position, and their benefits are related to their daily workload. If they don't work, they won't have food to eat."

Li Sikai sneered, "It seems that Yuan Ruoxi has made up her mind to support two freeloaders."

"That's right. I don't know what's wrong with her brain. It's just different from ordinary people. Even Tao Jianian is better than Tong Xianbao. At least she is not asked to help support his wife." Geng Zhixing agreed.

"Don't praise that male god Tao. In fact, he is the same as Tong Xianbao. They are both tempted by money and have corrupt private lives." Ying Yinen said.

"Yes, there are so many down-to-earth and capable single guys in our guard team, but she doesn't like them. She only chooses those ugly and married men. She is so blind." Li Linsheng laughed as he spoke.

"Okay, let's all take a rest. From now on, we just need to make sure her affairs are handled in a decent manner." Li Sikai said with emotion, "I can't control it anymore. I don't care anymore."

The next morning, before dawn, Shen Yanming woke Bi Qiaoan up.

There was no other way. They had a lot of luggage and were staying in their own tent. Every item needed to be sorted and packed, so they had to get up early to pack. It was impossible for everyone to leave before they were ready.

The temporary restaurant had to prepare breakfast, so Zuo Xiangqun and his colleagues had to go to work before dawn.

Shen Yanming helped Bi Qiaoan to sit down in the temporary restaurant, and after asking Comrade Xiao Zuo to take care of her for a while, he went back to fold the quilts, deliver the luggage, and dismantle the tent.

Bi Qiaoan looked at Zuo Xiangqun's slightly red and swollen eyes and asked worriedly, "Little Zuo, what's wrong with your eyes? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Zuo Xiangqun raised his arm and wiped his eyes with his sleeve as if to cover up something, and said in a muffled voice: "It's okay, maybe I got bit by a mosquito and it's swollen."

Then, as if afraid that the other party would not believe it, he added: "I was wondering why it was so itchy!"

Bi Qiaoan wanted to say that it was obvious that the eyes were swollen from crying, and there was not even a mosquito bite, but considering that the other party was very concerned about his reputation, she could only nod and said, "Well, it's hot now, and mosquitoes are rampant and can spread bacteria. You have to be careful not to get bitten in the future."

Zuo Xiangqun said, "Oh, I know that last year's HZ virus was spread by mosquitoes. When Su City returns to normal, I will go buy some mosquito repellent spices."

"When Yanming comes back later, ask him to get some for you from the car. We prepared a lot when we came to Su City, and there's still a lot left. You can use it first."

Zuo Xiangqun didn't expect that he would receive another gift just for saying it casually. He felt really embarrassed and quickly refused, "No, no, I can buy it online when Su City is back to normal."

"Then when will we get there? Maybe even summer will be over." Bi Qiaoan waved his hand, "Okay, don't refuse. It's fate that we can meet here. I don't know if there will be a next time in my life."

Zuo Xiangqun felt his eyes filled with tears again. He lowered his head, not daring to look Bi Qiaoan in the eye. "Well, thank you!"

Bi Qiaoan smiled, said nothing more, and waited quietly for Shen Yanming to come back.

Half an hour later, Shen Yanming sat down next to Bi Qiaoan with ease. After listening to her talk about mosquito repellent spices, he ran to the parking lot without stopping, and took out a few boxes of mosquito repellent spices from the space using the cover of the luggage.

Well, these were produced and sold by the alliance last year. He didn’t dare to take out the ones he made himself.

Comrade Xiao Zuo took the box with great care and put it in his pocket. He silently served two bowls of rice to the two of them as a final farewell.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan found that today's breakfast seemed to be richer than usual. Not only was the rice porridge a little thicker, but it was also accompanied by pickled radish strips and fried shredded potatoes.

The two of them didn't hesitate and picked up their chopsticks to eat. Before they finished eating, the rest of the teammates, led by Li Gangtie, came to this temporary restaurant with their luggage to have their last meal.

Not seeing Li Sikai and the others, Shen Yanming whispered to Captain Li: "Are Tong Xianbao and Lu Nanfang sure they will stay in Su City?"

Li Gangtie smiled innocently, "That guy is probably here for the space ability users. He definitely won't want to go back before he gets some tangible benefits. But it's good this way. I feel relieved to leave the trouble to Su City."

After hearing what Li Gangtie said, Shen Yanming knew that there was something inside that he didn't know, and he couldn't help but sympathize with Li Sikai.

Seeing Shen Yanming silent, Li Gangtie patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, your friend is not a simple person, so it should be no problem to solve this little trouble."

Shen Yanming nodded and said no more.

After the group of people finished their meal and thanked the staff of the temporary restaurant, they set off on their return journey. The number of vehicles on the way back was reduced by almost half compared to the number on the way here.

Some of them were frightened when they first arrived and went back home directly. Others, including Tong and Lu, took the initiative to stay in Su City.

After Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan got in the car, they took a glance and then looked away.

The big goose nestled at Bi Qiaoan's feet was obviously a little excited, cackled to express its good mood.

There was no other way. Every day, it either squatted outside the tent or stayed inside the tent. It rarely even went to the makeshift restaurant. The big goose had completely reduced its presence, so that sometimes the couple would even forget about it.

Every time the big goose was hungry and went back to beg for food, Bi Qiaoan would take out some corn kernels from the space to feed it.

For the goose, who was used to eating all kinds of fruits and cooked food, this month's life was like a nightmare. But it knew that the situation was special and it could not disturb the hostess's rest just because it was not used to it, otherwise the host would kill it.

Now I can finally go back, those days of drunkenness and dreams are coming back, what a blessing in my life!

Bi Qiaoan felt that the goose at her feet was very noisy, and it would flap its wings at any time, causing her calves to feel pain when its feathers scratched against her legs. She stretched out her hand and put the goose into the space, letting it go crazy with its friends.

Well, the moment the big goose left, my ears were finally at peace.
