Chapter 91 Li Hai Wants Leftovers
Three days later.
At the familiar base gate, everyone gathered, preparing to head to H City to rescue Dr. S.
When Li Hai saw Qin Zhuo from afar, a warm smile instantly bloomed on his face.
He strode up to her, "Qin Zhuo, we can go on missions together again! I'm so happy that you're leading the team this time. Luckily, it's not me this time. Last time I led the team, that woman Li Ruoyan really gave me a hard time, and I still have psychological trauma from it."
Qin Zhuo nodded slightly, then asked, "Have you found the person I asked you to find?"
Li Hai patted his chest and said, "Of course I did what you asked me to do immediately. I found the people you needed. The team leader said he could take your people with him out of the base to find supplies."
"However, they are only responsible for taking people out. If they encounter danger, they will do their best to ensure the safety of your people while ensuring their own safety."
After all, in the apocalypse, no one wants to take risks for someone they don't know.
Qin Zhuo: "Thank you for your help!"
Li Hai quickly waved his hand, "No trouble at all, it's just a matter of a word, a simple favor."
Soon, everyone had arrived and they were ready to set off.
The base gates slowly opened, and the convoy drove out of the base in neat rows.
Qin Zhuo sat in the lead car prepared by the base, while Youxiang and the others sat in their own cars.
Yuxiang looked at the cars driving ahead, tilted her head, and suddenly asked, "Why isn't Zhuozhuo riding in the same car as us?"
Chen Yunfei, in the driver's seat, was the first to give the answer.
"Brother Qin is the leader of this rescue team. How can he lead the team if he's crammed into a car with us?"
"Oh...I see."
Yu Xiang responded with a sound that seemed to understand but not quite.
Qiao Yue, who was standing next to You Xiang, smiled and put her arm around You Xiang's shoulder, saying, "It's good that there's one less person. Otherwise, the three of us girls would have to squeeze into the back row, which would be so uncomfortable."
Youxiang immediately agreed with this, nodding vigorously, "Yes, yes, Zhuozhuo shouldn't come back and ride in the same car as us."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yunfei couldn't help but speak up for Qin Zhuo.
"Little Yuzu, you heartless little thing! If Brother Qin heard you say that, his heart would break into a million pieces! You don't even want him to come back?"
Upon hearing his words, Yu Xiang subconsciously scratched her head, pondered for a moment, and then her eyes lit up as she offered a solution.
"Then... let Zhuozhuo come back, Brother Chen, you can go to another car!"
Chen Yunfei: "..."
Watching Chen Yunfei's embarrassed expression, Qiao Yue finally couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst out laughing.
Even Qiao Yan couldn't help but smile.
The rescue team's objective was very clear: to go to H City to rescue Dr. S and bring him safely back to the base.
Therefore, the rescue team did not waste too much time on unimportant matters along the way, but went straight to their destination.
On the first night, the night, like a huge black curtain, slowly enveloped the earth.
The rescue team was unable to reach the town before dark and had to camp out in the wild.
In the forest, campfires were lit, their leaping flames flickering in the darkness and dispelling the chill.
Everyone gathered around the campfire, ready to enjoy dinner.
The rescue team members took out food prepared at the base from their backpacks, including instant noodles, biscuits, and bread.
They skillfully unpacked the food, soaked or gnawed on it, and began to eat their dinner.
Yuka and the others were not official members of the rescue team, so the base naturally did not prepare these supplies for them.
However, they didn't care at all about the little bit of stuff the base gave them.
Chen Yunfei thought to himself that he shouldn't be too high-profile, lest he attract unnecessary trouble. So he decided to eat instant noodles for dinner, thinking that this way he could keep a low profile and not attract attention.
However, he clearly had a misunderstanding of the word "low-key".
He set up a pot, poured water into it, and after the water boiled, he put the instant noodles in.
Immediately afterwards, he put meat, eggs, vegetables and sausage into the pot.
Soon, an enticing aroma wafted from the pot, like an invisible hand tugging at everyone's noses.
The other members of the rescue team stared wide-eyed as Chen Yunfei kept putting ingredients into the pot, silently swallowing their saliva. The "glug" sound was especially clear in the quiet night.
They forced themselves to look away from the pot of clear broth in front of them, which contained nothing but the instant noodles themselves, with no other side dishes.
They're both instant noodles, but the difference is so huge!
Even more outrageous, one of the cats in the group had a can of fish in front of it, and the cat was elegantly poking at the fish with its paws, eating with great relish.
The fact that even a cat was being fed so well made the rescue team members feel even worse.
Chen Yunfei cooked a bit too much instant noodles tonight.
Seeing that there was still a lot left in the pot, he scratched his head, wondering how to get rid of it, when Li Hai shamelessly came over.
His eyes were glued to the pot, staring intently at the remaining instant noodles. His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed hard.
"Don't you... have any left over?" Li Hai's voice was filled with undisguised longing. "Can I have some?"
Upon hearing this, the rest of the rescue team were instantly filled with regret.
Why were they so slow to speak first?
Well, that's terrible, I've missed out on a delicious meal.
In times of scarcity, even instant noodles with a few side dishes become a luxury.
“Sure,” Chen Yunfei nodded readily, “bring your bowl over here.”
Upon hearing this, Li Hai was afraid that the other party would change their mind, so he almost sprang to his feet to grab the bowl, but then blew back like a gust of wind and placed the bowl next to the pot.
Watching Chen Yunfei pour the noodle soup and noodles into his bowl, he was even more surprised to find a perfectly round poached egg inside.
Li Hai's eyes lit up instantly, and his mouth stretched from ear to ear as he chuckled, "Next time you can't finish your food, give it all to me, don't waste it!"
Yu Xiang, who was standing to the side, blinked her big eyes and saw Li Hai's beaming face, and blurted out.
"Isn't this just a dog? Eating our... ugh~"
Qiao Yue reacted quickly, covering Youxiang's mouth and smiling awkwardly at Li Hai, "Don't mind it, kids just talk without thinking."
Li Haihun waved his hand dismissively: "It's nothing, it's nothing!"
All he can think about now is that bowl of instant noodles.
Chen Yunfei, however, felt a little guilty after hearing Youxiang's words. He asked, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate to make you eat leftovers?"
"No! Please don't feel burdened!"
Li Hai quickly pulled the bowl to his chest to protect it.
“I don’t mind at all! Really! I have a big appetite and eat a lot, so these leftovers are a godsend for me.”
Seeing his eager look, Chen Yunfei couldn't help but chuckle. "Alright, since you don't mind, we'll save the leftovers for you from now on."
"Okay!"
Li Hai happily agreed, and eagerly picked up a mouthful of noodles.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, several piercing gazes suddenly fixed on Li Hai.
The other rescue team members' eyes were filled with naked envy.
That kid went too far!
One meal wasn't enough; they even took over all the leftovers from then on.
What will they do then?
Li Hai pretended not to see anything, happily holding his bowl, and sat by the campfire to enjoy his meal.
