Chapter 180 Do it again?

Liu Hong's efforts were not in vain.

After the chicken soup was heated up, a sentry came out and brought them two large bowls of soup.

"Drink it while it's hot to warm yourself up."

Li Guo and Ge Bo from the car next to them hurriedly got off, thanked him excitedly, and then carefully accepted the steaming chicken soup.

Two very large bowls, like small basins.

"You're welcome. Eat and get some rest." Following the captain's instructions, Tao Haohao delivered the chicken soup and then turned back to the fire to eat.

The night was deep, and the snow fell heavier and heavier, accompanied by the howling of the cold wind.

The tarpaulin and the two vans rattled in the wind.

Xie Tu got out of the car and stood guard over the chicken soup in the casserole. After it was cooked, he ate two bowls of rice and brought the heated casserole back to the car.

The chicken soup in the casserole was prepared separately for Yun Zhao, and it also contained several large chicken legs.

When Xie Tu got back into the car, he saw that Yun Zhao had opened the observation window again and was watching the group of people in the van wolfing down the chicken soup.

She pursed her lips, her expression unreadable.

He seemed a little unhappy.

"Has the rabbit returned?"

Yun Zhao was not in good spirits. After watching for a while, he closed the window and sat down next to it.

Rabbit took his gun and went out to follow Orange and the others to clear out the nearby mutants.

"No."

Xie Tu brought over two supply boxes and used them as a dining table, pushing them in front of her. "Don't worry about her. Those mutants outside are no match for her. Duan Xi and the others also know to leave food for her."

Rabbits are natural snipers.

She is young but extremely talented and has undergone systematic combat training.

Otherwise, even if Jia Yi had shown him some kindness, he wouldn't have agreed to let her join Team Zero.

Yun Zhao nodded upon hearing this and said nothing more.

Xie Tu had already brought over the casserole and rice. Lifting the lid, the steaming chicken soup, along with its rich aroma, filled the car.

"Eat up." Xie Tu set out the chopsticks for her.

Yun Zhao stared silently at the chicken soup, then suddenly asked, "You said you'd make me a big pot of soup so everyone could have some?"

Xie Tu was slightly taken aback, and finally understood what she was unhappy about.

Yun Zhao in the past would never have cared about these things.

After leaving contaminated zone 249, she seemed to have become domineering, subtly displaying a possessiveness towards her belongings.

Xie Tu's expression was complicated; it was unclear whether she was showing possessiveness towards the chicken soup or towards him...

"No, the bucket of chicken soup that was brought to the car was stewed by Jiang Mu's men."

Xie Tu paused, then pointed to the table and explained, "The one in the casserole is the one I cooked."

He went to Jiang Mu to ask for ingredients, leaving behind the words, "Come and help if you want to eat," before taking the chicken and leaving.

Jiang Mu thought that he always kept his word, and if he didn't help, they might really not get a share, so he called Qi Jun and others over to help out.

Her desire for chicken soup was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.

The team was ready to depart at that time.

However, simmering chicken soup takes at least one to two hours, which is not feasible given the time constraints.

The pot in the bucket was only a semi-finished product; no seasonings were added.

Xie Tu made a point of taking out Yun Zhao's portion when he got into the car.

It was carefully prepared separately, and also contained red dates and goji berries. It was a supply that Team Zero found in the train station scene.

After hearing his explanation, Yun Zhao's expression indeed improved.

Xie Tu found it amusing and smiled slightly as he ate with her in the car.

*

Rabbit and his friends returned quickly, and the group gathered under the awning outside the car to eat and chat happily.

Noisy sounds could be heard from time to time.

In the cold winter, a group of like-minded friends sat around a campfire, drinking steaming hot chicken soup.

The scene inexplicably evoked a sense of tranquility and peace.

Li Guozai carefully cleaned the two large bowls and returned them to them.

Nine people squeezed into the cramped van, pulled out their thick blankets and covered themselves with them, then closed their eyes to rest.

Before going to sleep, Liu Hong was still thinking happily that her decision was absolutely brilliant!

It's great to follow the sentries from the main base.

Not only was my safety guaranteed, but I also unexpectedly got to enjoy a bowl of delicious chicken soup.

The group quickly fell asleep.

*

The next day.

After cooking some noodles and finishing breakfast, everyone packed up the tent and set off again.

Yun Zhao's mental state was still not good, and even the little bluebird was listless and didn't come out to wander around.

This greatly worried Fire Phoenix.

Finally, after shrinking down, I had the chance to snuggle up with the Azure Phoenix.

How have you been taking care of her? It's been two or three days and she's still not better!

Xie Tu frowned slightly, also thinking about this question.

Since there's nothing wrong with your body, then it must be a mental issue?

Seeing that he was frowning, Yun Zhao knew that he was worried about her, so she said softly, "I'm fine, I'll be fine after I get through the period of weakness."

She is an S-level guide, and no one can help her regulate her mental state.

It seems like I can only regulate myself.

Yun Zhao paused suddenly as she thought of this, recalling that the white mist had been slowly dissipating when she last connected with Xie Tu.

The scenes that unfolded in that dark, enclosed room flashed through her mind.

Xie Tu has the ability to heal his mental state.

Perhaps he can help me adjust?

Why didn't I think of that sooner?

Yun Zhao didn't like to hide things, so she asked him directly, "Do you want to do that again, like last time?"

He seemed to have said that she could have him anytime she wanted.

Xie Tu: "..."

The other passengers in the car gasped.

Do it again?

How dare Yun Zhao say such a thing!

What on earth is going on?!

They all spend all day together, how did the captain still manage to find an opportunity to strike?

Duan Xi and Rabbit sat opposite the two.

At that moment, the two of them wished they were deaf.

To avoid being targeted by the vengeful captain, the two quickly turned around to face the car wall, pretending they hadn't seen or heard anything.

Tao Haohao and Song Liang, who were sitting in the front seats, quickly raised the partition between the front and back seats.

I silently chanted in my heart, "I can't hear you, I can't hear you..."

If it weren't for the presence of mutants along the way, the two would have wanted to withdraw their senses immediately.

So much so that no one noticed the captain's unusual behavior.

This self-deceiving attitude made the atmosphere inside the car even more awkward.

Xie Tu raised his hand to his forehead, the tips of his ears turning slightly red. He unconsciously lowered his head slightly, avoiding Yun Zhao's gaze.

He said in as steady a voice as possible, "Not now."

When the compatibility is too high, forming a mental connection can trigger a bonding fever.

He never found an opportunity to speak up and explain the consequences of his actions to her.

Yun Zhao, however, thought it was because there were too many people on the bus.

Unlike others, establishing a mental connection with Xie Tu requires a quiet and specific environment.

She said listlessly, "That's true, we can't let them watch."

Everyone: "..."

Xie Tu was completely helpless against her astonishing remarks.

It's obvious at a glance that his teammates all misunderstood.

He really didn't know how to explain it to her.

Xie Tu patiently waited until the next rest stop to give each of them a thorough dressing-down.
