Chapter 100

"We are not injured." Without waiting for Gu Kai to speak, the old man spoke first.

He lay on the bed, pointing at Chen Cong with a helpless look on his face: "You are so old, but still so impatient, and you don't even give people a chance to speak.

Look at the look you gave Liu Tuan just now. I can't say anything to you.

We are both fine, except for a little trouble on the way back. Xiaokai was caught in the acid rain, and there was no medicine. Who knows why he got allergic reaction? He never had this problem before?! "

"That's because his resistance has dropped. He has never suffered this before!"

Muttering in dissatisfaction.

The old man was lying on the bed, looking so skinny. Even if he looked in good spirits, his appearance was unpleasant to the eyes of anyone.

So even if he was criticized, Chen Cong did not dare to argue.

But keeping silent doesn't mean you agree in your heart.

Anyway - no matter what her father-in-law said, she was dissatisfied with Liu Tuan and the others' arrangement this time!

You can say that she has no sense of the overall situation, or that she only cares about her own family and not everyone else, but anyway... she is very unhappy.

And he wasn't prepared to hide his dissatisfaction.

She was about to speak again when Shi Chen next to her spoke first.

"Grandpa, please don't say anything about my aunt. Seeing the way you and my uncle are acting, I feel bad too.

I didn't go to the group. If I had gone, I would have to ask Liu Tuan, how did they protect you?

A healthy person went out and came back sick like this? How could he be so irresponsible? What kind of thing is this!

Grandpa, how much effort have you and my uncle made for the regiment and how much merit have we achieved? Is there anyone who treats others like this?

Auntie, I will go to the working group tomorrow and tell them that I’m quitting!

They can find whoever they want to do those jobs, I'm not going anyway.

At worst, I can go out and find a part-time job. If that doesn't work, let's go back to the community! We don't want to stay in Beining anymore. We don't want to be annoyed by this!

This is too infuriating, too much!"

As Shi Chen spoke, his eyes turned red again.

The young man has been following Mr. Gu since he joined the working group. Although he is his assistant, there is actually no difference between him and a real grandfather and grandson.

The old man has spent his whole life curing illnesses and saving lives, and he is a kind-hearted person.

Shi Chen is sensible and hardworking, and he has such a heart-breaking experience, so the old man naturally treats him sincerely.

So the relationship between the two of them is getting better and better.

Shi Chen had already cried secretly when he was carrying the old man upstairs just now.

At this moment, hearing grandpa blaming Aunt Shen, and his tone trying to excuse Liu Tuan, the child couldn't hold it anymore.

He is different from Shen Cong.

Chen Cong knew that these two people were named by the headquarters and sent abroad, but Shi Chen always thought that they were going to carry out missions for the group.

Since he was working for the regiment, then as the head of the regiment, Captain Liu naturally had an unshirkable responsibility when his subordinates had such serious health problems!

So, when he heard that Gu Kai was drenched in acid rain and had become ill even without any medicine, Shi Chen exploded!

The father and son knew that Chen Cong was a domineering person who would not tolerate his family being wronged, but they did not expect Shi Chen to be like this as well.

Seeing the child jumping in the room in anger, the father and son rubbed their eyebrows at the same time.

"Okay, stop shouting, sit down and listen to me." Gu Kai looked at Shi Chen and pointed to the bench next to him.

Shi Chen didn't sit down, but got up and went out.

He ran to the kitchen, took out the children's milk powder from the cupboard, made a cup for each of them, handed it to them, and then sat down.

The milk powder was taken out by Chen Cong for Cancan to drink. Usually, Shi Chen put it high up so that no one could see it, let alone let others drink it.

But at this moment, he generously made two large cups of strong coffee for the two of them.

Knowing that this was the child's intention, Gu Kai did not refuse.

He raised his glass and took a sip.

It seemed like he hadn't had something so delicious in a long time, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes in satisfaction.

It took him a long time to slowly swallow the milk.

Then he looked at the two people in the room and said, "This is not anyone's fault. No one has treated us unfairly. On the contrary, because Dad is in poor health, we have received various preferential treatments in the past few months.

Because Dad couldn't eat their bread, several little soldiers saved their dried fish and vegetable porridge for Dad every day.

They relied on that pancake to survive for more than a month, and they were reluctant to eat anything else."

Having said this, Gu Kai was silent for a moment, and one could tell that he was also feeling very emotional.

After Gu Kai's narration, Chen Cong and Shi Chen realized that although everyone has always felt that Beining is bitter and life is difficult, and that they feel that the days here are long like years, that is because there is no comparison.

Only after you really go out and see how people live in other places, will you truly realize that living in Bac Ninh is like living in a happy nest.

"Wei Yan once said that the disaster here is not serious and is relatively good compared to many other places.

At that time, I thought this statement was exaggerated, but if you go out and take a look, you will know how objective his statement is. "

Gu Kai sighed.

"We didn't feel much when we went there, because we were on an urgent mission, so we took a helicopter directly to Beijing. Then we followed the visiting delegation from Country E back to their country.

We either took a plane or a special car along the way, and we were given the best care at various stops, so we didn't have a deep understanding of the disaster.

It was only after we arrived in Country E that we realized that this disaster had brought humanity to the brink of extinction.”

Gu Kai told Chen Cong and the others that the working group they were sending to Country E this time consisted of twelve people.

In addition to them father and son and Meng Chao, there are also Yang Huaisheng, Mr. Yang and Chen Li.

Chen Li was the only one in the expert group who had evolved superpowers, and the superpower he evolved was the most scarce at the moment, the same water-based superpower as Cancan.

Perhaps because of his good physical fitness, he was able to advance to the next level not long after his supernatural powers evolved successfully.

Although the country does not have a specific standard for the level of supernatural powers, Gu Kai can see that his level of supernatural powers is definitely higher than Cancan's.

In addition to Chen Li and Mr. Yang, there are two other people with special abilities among the remaining working group members. Both of them have wood-related special abilities like Gu Kai.

In addition to them, the remaining five are security personnel and external liaison personnel specially arranged by the state.

One can imagine how popular such a working group would be in Country E.

And just as Liu Tuan said, the other party did give them the highest level of VIP treatment.

However, even if it is VIP treatment, the premise must be linked to the country's current strength.

Country E was not originally a country with developed agriculture. Before the end of the world, they relied on exchanging energy for food to survive.

When natural disasters struck, not only did their domestic agriculture suffer a fundamental blow, but the key point was that no neighboring country was willing to sell food to them anymore.

Even if they offered more energy in exchange, no one would be willing to do it.

"They have been forced to run to our country for help, so you can imagine what the situation is like in their own country."

Gu Kai smiled bitterly and said, "More than half of their people have died due to famine. Even senior officials with the best living conditions can only get a limited amount of real food a day, and most of them eat substitutes.

Anyway, the biscuits they sent over… Dad couldn’t eat a single bite.”

"Substitute? What substitute?" Shi Chen asked curiously.

Only then did he realize that Grandpa Gu and Uncle Gu had gone abroad.

The child has never been abroad, so he is naturally very interested in the outside world.

Gu Kai looked at Chen Cong and did not answer immediately.

Chen Cong immediately thought of the kind of wo wo mixed with dried insects and ground into powder that he had eaten in his previous life, and he couldn't help but feel like vomiting again.

She clenched her fist and patted her chest, suppressing her nausea, and asked hesitantly, "Bugs?"

Gu Kai nodded.

When he saw his wife take out the strangely colored steamed bun from the space, he was shocked beyond words.

I can't imagine how to eat something like that?!

But he didn't expect to see something similar in Country E, and just as his wife described, it was the main food in the daily ration for most people in the country.

"It's not just bugs, there's also some seaweed and various dried fish. Country E is close to the sea, so there are still some seafood."

In order to avoid his wife being upset, Gu Kai comforted her by saying, "The rations they give us are of the highest quality, the best they can offer."

But the best thing is still hard to get into.

Even if Gu Kai tried to hide it, Chen Cong could understand it, as she had had this experience before.

Whether it is dried insects or dried fish, it is not a proper food for people coming from China.

Young people can still rely on physical strength to hold on even if they can’t eat, but my father-in-law is old, how can he hold on?

Moreover, because Beining has not yet run out of ammunition and food, and everyone is not eating dried insects, Chen Cong did not mention it.

In fact, the insect is poisonous.

They are not harmful to chickens and are even good feed.

But maybe it’s a foreign protein that can’t be absorbed by the human body?

Or maybe some other reason, Chen Cong didn't understand.

Anyway, in the previous life, many people had allergic reactions of varying degrees after eating that insect.

In mild cases, patients suffer from itching all over the body, vomiting, and nausea, while in severe cases, many people may even die.

Of course, there are some lucky ones, such as Chen Cong, whose superpowers were stimulated by this insect powder.

But that is a minority after all.

Chen Cong realized that the reason his father-in-law's health had deteriorated so badly was not only because he couldn't eat the food there, but more likely because he couldn't absorb the food containing insect powder and had an allergic reaction.

My husband's skin problems, in addition to being caused by acid rain, are probably also related to his diet.

Thinking of this, a deep anger and helplessness surged in her heart.

What made her angry was that she was reborn and made every possible preparation just to make her family live a better life. Who could have imagined that the person closest to her would have to suffer like this?

The helpless thing is - she doesn't even need to ask, these two people will definitely not only not regret it, but will also feel deeply proud.

Sure enough, seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Kai continued, "Don't be angry, we are back now, aren't we? Dad and I are both fine, we just need to take care of ourselves.

In fact, we are not the only ones. Everyone is in poor health. Mr. Yang, who was once so fat, has lost a lot of weight now.

But our trip was also fruitful, as the country signed several large contracts! It won’t be long before ordinary people like us will be able to use electricity!”

When he said the last sentence, Gu Kai's eyes sparkled.

The author has something to say:
