Driven out of her home by her biased parents and cruel older sister, Su Tao decided to cut ties with them completely, vowing to rather starve, freeze, and wander outside for a lifetime than ever re...
The logistics team leader was furious:
"What's wrong with you? Are you short of food or water? You act like everyone is bullying you. You just cry all day and leave the work to others. Why don't you think about how much trouble you've caused your teammates?"
"Our team is so unlucky to have to deal with a troublemaker like you."
Jiang Jinwei cried even louder.
The logistics team leader was shocked and angry: "Keep your voice down! This is not Dongyang, zombies could come at any time!"
Jiang Jinwei didn't care about all these things and cried out of breath.
It attracted everyone's attention.
Su Tao heard the noise and looked over, but she couldn't hear clearly what they were arguing because she was far away.
Guan Zining stood up and walked over with a fierce look on his face:
"Too many women is troublesome."
Sure enough, not long after she arrived, the logistics team became quiet.
The convoy continued on its way and encountered a small wave of zombie attacks along the way. A dozen ordinary hungry zombies smelled the scent of living people and rushed over with red eyes.
Shi Zijin didn't even get out of the car. The intercom only arranged for three people to go and clear out the zombies. Suddenly, gunshots and roars of zombies rang out everywhere.
Su Tao wanted to watch the whole process, but Guan Zining pulled down the privacy curtain:
"Don't be curious about everything, or you won't be able to sleep at night."
Su Tao had no choice but to listen to the noise outside gradually becoming quieter before she asked nervously:
"Is it over? Are there any casualties?"
Then he went to comfort Lin Fangzhi, fearing that the child would be frightened.
But unexpectedly, Lin Fangzhi seemed to be familiar with this kind of danger. Not to mention being afraid, he looked as indifferent as he was when eating or sleeping.
Su Tao swallowed the soothing words back into her stomach.
She almost forgot that this child grew up struggling outside.
Guan Zining listened to the intercom and said calmly:
"It's all taken care of. A few beasts won't cause any casualties. The route from Dongyang to Shou'an is the safest. We've cleared them out many times before. Most zombies are hiding. The evolved zombies are also smart and won't run into uninhabited areas with vast areas and sparse populations."
Su Tao felt relieved.
"But don't be too optimistic. The journey from Shou'an to Changjing is the most difficult. The road is long, supply stations are scarce, and there are many deserted cities, which are good places for zombies to hide. This has the highest casualty rate of all mission routes."
Su Tao prepared herself mentally and nodded:
"Got it. Unless the sky falls, I won't get out of the car and cause trouble for you."
Until night fell, we stopped again to reorganize, but we did not encounter more than five zombies, and the surrounding scenery was not much different.
Dinner was the supplies provided by the convoy. The staple food was a piece of bread the size of a fist and a bag of sealed dried vegetables. You could soak them in water to make a bowl of them, sprinkle some seasoning on them and eat them directly between the bread.
Su Tao felt that the food was a bit dry and the portion was too little for a big man, so she stuffed six bottles of milk and six packs of chicken patties into her bag and asked Guan Zining to deliver them to Shi Zijin and others.
Before leaving, the tenants gave us a lot of supplies, such as chicken patties, ham sausage, biscuits, millet, rice, flour, etc.
Su Tao brought them all. The supplies given by the tenants alone could feed 20 people for a month.
Not to mention the lunch box, instant noodles, drinks and 40 kilograms of grain and oil that she brought with her.
Enough for a round trip every two months.
If only I could buy a vending machine outside Taoyang and restock it, there would be no need to carry so many supplies on the road.
On the way out, Su Tao tried it and found that once the vending machine left the area managed by Tao Yang, it would not work and could not be restocked.
Connecting to the power supply doesn't work either.
The TV I bought at a home improvement store can be used after being connected to a power source, but there is no signal, so I can only use the screen projection function to play offline videos in the communicator.
It seems that many magical products will become ineffective once they leave Taoyang's management area.
In order to pass the time, Su Tao hung the TV on the rear window of the car and watched offline videos with Lin Fangzhi and Xue Dao.
There weren't many videos to watch in her communicator, only a few cartoons that she had downloaded to appease Chenxi and Chenyang. She asked them to play away and not disturb her and Zhuang Wan's work.
It came in handy at this moment. Lin Fangzhi was particularly interested in it and stared at it with his eyes wide open.
Guan Zining and Shi Zijin heard the children laughing on TV before they even opened the car door. Then they saw two people with their seats reclined, the air conditioner on, holding a thin blanket, and biscuits and candies at hand.
Even the only dog was eating canned meat and yawning leisurely.
Guan Zining said to Shi Zijin righteously and sternly:
"It's so corrupt, Major General. I swear I was not involved in it."
Su Tao handed them candy and cookies: "Want to eat?"
When Lin Fangzhi heard this, his eyes that were staring at the screen were immediately glued to the fruit plate, and it was almost as if he was writing on his face: This is mine, don’t eat it, please.
Shi Zijin pretended not to see it. He peeled one and put it in his mouth, not liking sweets.
"Go to bed early after watching it."
Then he said to Lin Fangzhi, who looked resentful and pitiful:
"After you finish watching, you sleep in the passenger seat. You are not allowed to sleep in the back seat."
Su Tao slammed the car door: "Hurry up and leave."
When Shi Zijin returned to the front of the car, Cen Laoer and his friends had just finished eating. The old men were not careful and made a mess after eating, so they called the logistics staff to clean up.
Shi Zijin saw a familiar-looking woman in the logistics department. After looking at her for a long time, he finally remembered that she was a member of the Su family.
He didn't say a word, but Dang Xingyan, the loudmouth, shouted out:
"Have I seen you before? Oh, now I remember, the one who was kicked out by the boss of the Third Division."
After he said that, Cen Tianjiao also remembered.
This woman used to work in logistics for the Third Ordnance Department, specializing in recovering equipment from dead bodies.
Later, I didn’t know if I was really scared or just pretending, but I threw myself into the arms of the leader of the third department and cried.
Unexpectedly, the leader of the third department did not buy it and kicked her on the spot.
Then I became famous.
Jiang Jinwei's face flushed instantly. Her embarrassment was exposed, and her emotions, which had just calmed down, collapsed again. She didn't even pack her things and turned around and ran away crying.
Dang Xingyan scratched his head.
Shi Zijin was speechless and waved his hand:
"If you have something to do, keep doing it. If you don't, stop talking."
Su Tao heard crying and quarreling again, coming from the logistics vehicle.
Guan Zining got out of the car again with a fierce look on his face:
"I've already told you that voices in open areas are most likely to attract zombies. Don't take my words for granted."
This time Su Tao heard clearly that it was Jiang Jinwei crying.
Oh, it’s terrible.
Calm was restored again, and it was time to change shifts, so the convoy continued on its journey into the night.
Su Tao forcefully turned off the TV and urged Lin Fangzhi to go into the space to sleep.
Lin Fangzhi, who hadn't seen enough, entered the space with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
When Su Tao saw him disappear, she lay down, covered herself with the quilt and opened the system panel.
There was no signal on the road, so I couldn't get information about Taoyang's situation from Zhuang Wan. Fortunately, the system could still check it in real time.
After restocking all the vending machines with one click, I also paid the water and electricity bills for the entire month of May, totaling just over 5,300 federal coins.
