Chen Fan had already guessed what was going on when his teammates produced so many thick clothes out of thin air, but he still couldn't help being shocked. He took them, trembling, and hugged them tightly, his eyes red with gratitude, saying:

"Thank you, Captain. I...I really don't know how to thank you enough!"

"We're all teammates, no need to be so polite."

"It's warm in my tent, go change your clothes! I'll wait for you to come out and eat." Junjue interrupted.

Seeing the other person's shocked expression, he knew what they were shocked about.

It's not that he's without a sense of caution; it's just that his strength and the loyalty boost his teammates receive from the system allow him to reveal his true nature without reservation.

"Captain, wait for me a moment!" Chen Fan said, touched, as he walked into the tent and quickly changed into his new, sturdy gear.

After a short while, once I was dressed, I felt warm and my whole body felt alive again.

Seeing the old, worn-out summer clothes he had discarded, he didn't know whether he should take them back.

Thinking that the other party had a lot of supplies, he reluctantly picked up a pile of dark, old clothes, opened the tent, went outside, and threw them aside.

When Junjue saw Chen Fan emerge, dressed in heavy, warm gear, and with his honest, sallow, and emaciated face, he couldn't fathom how Chen Fan could have become a serial killer in his past life.

"Not bad! This looks much better."

Hearing the captain's words, Chen Fan said embarrassedly:

"Hehe! Captain, we've been looking for those clothes for a long time. I know they look terrible, but we can't find any supplies right now, so we don't care about that."

"Captain, I feel warmer all of a sudden after putting on that thermal underwear set underneath."

Junjue took out two self-heating hot pots and several hot meat buns, and handed them to the other person, saying:

"As long as you're warm, that's fine. You'll be my teammate in the future, so just tell me if you need anything."

Let's eat first! If you need more, just ask me.

Chen Fan took the food from the other person, his eyes widening involuntarily.

It's unbelievable that the captain can still produce such good food now that the apocalypse has been here for so long.

He carefully put a few meat buns into his pocket, intending to save them for his girlfriend, but the captain interrupted him.

"Chen Fan, I have plenty more here. You eat your fill first, and I'll get you more when we get back!"

Hearing that there was still plenty of food, Chen Fan felt relieved and heated up the two self-heating hot pots, his eyes welling up with tears as he choked out:

"Thank you, Captain! I just thought my girlfriend hadn't had this kind of delicious food in a long time, so I wanted to bring her some."

Suddenly remembering that his girlfriend was still freezing in the shelter, he asked sheepishly, "Captain, do you have any warm women's clothing? Could you give my girlfriend a set too?"

Seeing that the other person mentioned his girlfriend again, Junjue decided to probe into their relationship status to see if he could discover anything. He nodded and said:

"No problem! But seeing how much you love your girlfriend is a rare sight in this apocalypse!"

Could you share with me how long you've been dating and how far you've progressed?

Hearing that the captain had some thick women's clothing, Chen Fan said happily:

"Thank you, Captain!"

After pausing for a moment, he wolfed down several meat buns and continued, "It's been so long since I've had meat buns, they're so delicious."

Captain, my relationship is still okay, there's nothing I can't share.

Xiaojie is a slender and beautiful girl, about half a year younger than me.

Xiaojie and I dated for a year and a half before the natural disaster struck, and we did nothing but hold hands.

Every time I tried to take things a step further, she would say she wanted to save the best for our wedding night, so I didn't press her.

After we started dating, she stopped working and I supported her the whole time.

I will give her everything good I have and work hard to earn the best life for her.

………。

As time passed, Junjue listened to Chen Fan's words and remained speechless for a while.

Chen Fan was used by that woman; he's definitely a simp and a backup option!

What era are we living in? What normal adult has been dating for over two years and is still only holding hands?

After that woman got together with Chen Fan, she always ate the best, wore the best, and used the best.

They buy imported cosmetics and brand-name bags, and they always use their weak health as an excuse to eat more expensive supplements.

If it weren't for the small business Chen Fan's family ran, that woman would have squeezed this honest man dry.

After hearing the final words, Junjue finally understood how Chen Fan had become like that in his past life.

It must be this woman's doing. As for whether it's what I'm guessing, I'll have to find out for myself.

The air was filled with the aroma of self-heating hot pot. Junjue opened two self-heating hot pots and handed one to the other person.

"Thanks, Captain! Self-heating hot pot! It'll definitely taste even better." Chen Fan took the self-heating hot pot rice, blew on the steam, and then wolfed it down.

As Junjue ate, he said, "One side keeps giving, while the other side keeps enjoying."

I have a feeling your girlfriend doesn't truly love you; she's more like using you. Can't you tell?

Upon hearing the captain's words, Chen Fan paused for a moment, a fleeting look of distress crossing his eyes.

He said sullenly, "Captain, my former friends and colleagues have also advised me against it."

"But I love her so much that I can't help myself. As long as she doesn't betray me, I don't care how hard or tiring it is," Chen Fan said, sounding very unsure.

How could he not know? He had vaguely learned some things from his friends and colleagues before the apocalypse, but he simply refused to believe them.

He felt that as long as he treated her well enough, so well that she couldn't live without him, that would be enough.

No betrayal? Maybe while Chen Fan was busy, the other party was having a good time in bed with some rich young master.

As for why that woman kept delaying her intimate relationship with Chen Fan, it was probably because she was afraid of being exposed.

While eating, Junjue was thinking about how to investigate. If that woman really was a slut, he would help Chen Fan expose the truth in advance so that he could give up completely and prevent the same thing from happening again.

More than ten minutes later, after the two had eaten and drunk their fill, Chen Fan and the team leader put all the things in the tent into their spatial storage before leading the team leader toward the shelter.

Inside the shelter's management room, black charcoal fires blazed, and two white bodies intertwined, engaged in an indescribable act.

With a low growl, Brother Zhu finished tidying up and sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes filled with longing and an air of undeniable urgency.

The air in the room was tense and heavy, as if one were trapped in this small space.

On the bed, a woman lay covered with a blanket.

Her name is Ya Jie, and she is a girl living in this shelter.

Her eyes held a hint of dazedness and desire, unable to conceal her longing.

She has a special connection with Brother Zhu and even many of the managers, which started after she and her backup boyfriend came to this shelter.

In this day and age, people can't even afford to eat. She was pampered before the apocalypse and can't endure any hardship. How could a man possibly support her?
