Chapter 147 You take a bite, I take a bite [13]

Tonight's dinner is noodles with cured pork and bean sprouts.

The cured meat was collected by Shen Wang and his companions along the way, and the bean sprouts were made from soybeans they found, which Lin Xiangheng then used his special ability to cultivate.

Lin Xiangheng is a good cook; he can make even ordinary noodles delicious.

Especially after a long day, it's rare to have hot noodles with meat and fresh vegetables in this apocalyptic world.

Each person had a large bowl, and everyone drank the soup clean.

After dinner, it was almost dark.

After everyone has digested their food, it's about time to get ready for bed.

It's safer inside the base than outside; there's no need for people to take turns keeping watch at night.

Everyone went back to their rooms, got a good night's sleep, and were ready to set off again tomorrow refreshed!

At five o'clock the next morning, Achu and the others got up.

Lin Xiangheng made breakfast for everyone.

After breakfast, they went out.

Yesterday, when they entered the base, their vehicles were not allowed to enter through the second gate.

So the car was parked at the first gate.

Achu and his group walked to the second gate of the base, where medical students who were going to Beijing with them were already waiting.

Most of them chose to stay in less desirable accommodations when they delivered their supplies yesterday.

Yue Tingsong and Maiya are both quite outgoing and can chat with medical students.

After exchanging greetings, a medical student complained to Yue Tingsong and Maiya about how bad their accommodations were.

"They only gave us a small tent! It's a square, tents are pitched everywhere, lots of people are sleeping there, it's noisy and smelly!"

"Yes! The spot I slept in was even more outrageous, there was so much excrement right next to me! I couldn't sleep all night, I felt like I was being suffocated by the smell!"

After the medical student finished speaking, Yue Tingsong and Maiya took a step back in unison.

Medical student: "..." Aren't you going to try to hide it? That's so hurtful.

There were also complaints about living in a dormitory-style dormitory.

"The dormitory-style sleeping quarters are noisy and smelly too! The person to my left has incredibly smelly feet, and the person to my right has a sour head! There are also people grinding their teeth, snoring, and talking in their sleep!"

"The smell and noise are one thing, but the worst part is that the food I hid in my bag was stolen!"

"Mine was stolen too! I contacted the staff at the base, and they said they had already reminded us to keep our belongings safe and that they wouldn't be responsible for any lost items!"

"This is infuriating!"

Yue Tingsong patted the indignant medical student and comforted him, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. The staff really have no choice. Look at how many people there are to manage at this base, how can they possibly manage them all!"

So yesterday, Chen Wang and his family parked their car at the second gate and even paid someone to watch it.

After all, there were supplies in the car.

Ping An Base is the largest base in the vicinity, and its management is barely passable.

But even in peacetime, there are people who steal and cheat; now, there will only be more.

Some of the more brazen ones will even resort to robbery.

As long as no one dies at the base, it's basically left unattended.

So if you get stolen from or robbed, either you can find it or you can take it back yourself, or you can only suffer in silence.

When we parted ways yesterday, we told everyone to gather here no later than 7 a.m.

Everyone was quite punctual, arriving before seven o'clock.

At 7:00 a.m. sharp, after confirming that no one would come, Achu and the others went out through the second door.

Arriving at the parking lot in the middle of the first gate, they found their car.

After checking that nothing was missing from the car, I put everything in the car.

Today, it was still Achu sitting in Shen Wang's car.

Xu Da drove the minibus behind, while Lin Xiangheng sat in the minibus.

Yue Tingsong and Zhang Jingzhu were in one car, and Dr. Wang rode in their car.

Malt is driving an off-road vehicle.

There were also ten medical students sitting in the minibus.

Those who didn't come all chose to stay at the Ping An base.

The car started and drove out of the safe base.

Achu sat in the passenger seat.

The car window was open, and the morning breeze carried a slight chill, which was very refreshing.

It would be even better if there wasn't a stench wafting through the air from time to time.

As the car drove further and further away, Achu and his group continued to encounter other vehicles heading towards the Ping An Base.

There are private cars, RVs, trucks, vans...

Every car was covered in marks, and the people in every car looked tired yet excited.

Because they knew they were almost at the safe base, almost safe... perhaps?

Chen Wang drove onto the highway and gradually stopped encountering other cars heading to the Ping An base.

As Shen Wang was driving, he suddenly heard a series of cracking sounds coming from the side.

He glanced to the side and saw that Ah Chu had taken a bag of potato chips and was eating them at some point.

Today, Achu is wearing the same outfit she wore after taking a shower yesterday. Her long hair is loose and draped over her shoulders, making her look well-behaved.

The way they slurp and munch on potato chips is so cute.

My heart is melting.

Shen Wang couldn't help but glance at it again and again.

Achu finally noticed that Chen Wang was looking at her.

She paused in her eating of potato chips, then snapped them into her mouth.

Achu took a potato chip out of the bag and handed it to Chenwang: "Brother Chenwang, do you want one?"

Chen Wang originally wanted to say he wouldn't eat it.

The words that were about to come out were: "Is it delicious?"

Achu nodded: "It's delicious! This lime flavor is my favorite! You should try it!"

Her eyes sparkled, and she reached her hand towards Chen Wang again.

Chen Wang looked at the potato chips that were already being fed to his mouth and opened his mouth.

With a crisp "crack".

The flavor of lime-flavored potato chips spread in my mouth.

Achu: "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Looking into those expectant eyes, Chen Wang pursed his lips and said, "Mmm, delicious."

He ate the remaining half piece in Achu's hand as well.

Next, Achu ate a piece herself and then fed another piece to Chenwang.

Feeling a bit thirsty from eating potato chips, Achu took out a yogurt from her spatial storage.

She inserted the straw, took a sip, and then subconsciously offered it to Chen Wang's lips.

Shen Wang lowered his eyes and looked at the straw, his gaze darkening.

He parted his lips slightly, about to put the straw in his mouth, when Ah Chu seemed to just remember and let out an "ah".

The hand holding the yogurt moved away from Shen Wang's lips.

"This is the drink I had!" Achu said, somewhat annoyed.

She put the yogurt she had drunk aside and took out another yogurt to feed Chen Wang.

"Brother Chenwang, drink this!" Achu's voice was sweet.

A fleeting hint of regret crossed Shen Wang's eyes, but it remained completely hidden on his face.

He tilted his head slightly and took a sip of yogurt.

After finishing his drink, before Achu could ask, Chen Wang spoke first: "It's delicious."

Ah Chu smiled and said, "Right! This is my favorite flavor! Because I like it, my mom stocked up on a lot for me..."

As she spoke, she thought of her deceased relatives, and Achu's tone became low and sad again.

Seeing the little girl's gloomy expression again, Shen Wang didn't know how to comfort her.

He could only try to distract her.

So he asked, "Is there anything else to eat? I didn't eat enough for breakfast, and I'm a little hungry now."

Upon hearing Shen Wang say that, A Chu's attention was indeed diverted.

"Are you hungry? Let me look around!"

Achu took out a packet of beef jerky from her spatial storage: "Brother Chenwang, would you like some of this? Spicy beef jerky."

Chen Wang: "Eat."

Ah Chu then took a stick and fed it to him.
