Chapter 40: Rescue
After paying the bill, Xia Chenxi returned to the kitchen and saw Ye Xuan still staring at the unknown object in the pot reluctantly.
"You don't want to eat it again, do you? I don't care if you get poisoned."
Ye Xuan asked Xia Chenxi regretfully: "Is it really impossible to save it?"
In front of Ye Xuan, Xia Chenxi poured the object into the trash can, then pushed Ye Xuan out of the kitchen, went back to his room to fiddle with it for a while, took out a piece of paper and stuck it on the kitchen door.
[Ye Xuan is not allowed to enter.] 】
"Xia Chenxi, don't be like this. I will definitely do better next time." Ye Xuan did not give up.
"Ye Xuan, some things require more than just hard work. You also need special talents. This is to ensure the food safety of you and me."
Xia Chenxi spoke decisively, ending Ye Xuan's thoughts.
In this way, Ye Xuan was deprived of the right to enter the kitchen.
The two of them ended up having two bowls of instant noodles for dinner, but even instant noodles were a hundred times better than Ye Xuan's pile of excrement.
......
Ye Xuan woke up early in the morning because he had to go on a mission.
After tossing and turning in bed until almost time, he went into the bathroom to wash up.
After washing and putting on his combat uniform, he saw Xia Chenxi also getting ready to go out.
"So early today?"
"My vacation is over and I'm going to start training."
Ah, Xia Chenxi's vacation is over, giving him the illusion that he did not have a vacation. She was either accompanying him to the hospital or training in the training hall, just like usual.
Xia Chenxi walked to the door and asked Ye Xuan: "When are you going to visit your parents?"
Ye Xuan looked puzzled, "I was supposed to go on the weekend, but I don't have time on the weekend because I have to go to the team, so let's go the day after tomorrow, Wednesday night."
He walked up to Xia Chenxi and said, "Why? Are you going?"
Xia Chenxi nodded, looked at Ye Xuan's smiling eyes again, and explained: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't prepare gifts for my uncle and aunt the first time, so I plan to make up for it this time."
"Oh." Ye Xuan held on to the wall and put on his combat boots.
What Xia Chenxi said was too unnatural. He could tell that Xia Chenxi was lying.
Ye Xuan did not expose Xia Chenxi, but said to him: "Go if you want to. Even if I don't go, you can go. My parents welcome you very much."
Xia Chenxi looked at Ye Xuan and curled the corners of his mouth.
The two walked to Training Ground 2 and parted in front of Venue A. Ye Xuan walked to Venue B alone.
Standing at the door were Luo Feng, four team members, and three modified heavy transport vehicles.
Ye Xuan trotted over and called out, "Brother Feng."
Then he greeted the remaining four team members.
Luo Feng agreed to Ye Xuan, and from time to time he opened his bracelet to check the time: "That brat Tong Wei wouldn't have overslept, it's almost time and he still hasn't come."
After he finished speaking, a figure came running over from afar, waving his hand, "Brother Feng, here I come!"
He ran to the front of the crowd panting and took a deep breath: "I'm so tired. I'm almost late."
Luo Feng looked at him sternly: "If you are afraid of being late, set a few more alarms. If you are really late, I will handle it in a fair and just manner and punish you to write a 10,000-word self-criticism."
"10,000 words!" Ye Xuan had never heard a man make a dolphin sound in his life, and now he heard it from Tong Wei's mouth, "Brother Feng, don't worry, I will definitely be there on time."
Luo Feng coughed twice and shouted, "Let's take the roll call next."
"Tong Wei."
"arrive."
"Ye Xuan."
"arrive."
“…”
After the roll call, Luo Feng ordered: "Everyone put on explosion-proof helmets and turn left."
Ye Xuan put on the helmet tucked between his arms, turned left, and breathed softly.
He was really going on a mission, and he never thought that one day the burden of protecting the people would fall on him.
The feeling was wonderful, the surging sense of pride mixed with nervousness made him tremble slightly.
"This is our first mission, Ye Xuan, you and I will be on the same team."
Ye Xuan saluted to express that he knew and being with Brother Feng made him feel at ease.
"The rest of you should form teams of two, be on guard, and protect yourself and the transporter as soon as possible when you encounter danger."
"yes."
Ready to go.
The four team members got on the two cars at the back in pairs, and Ye Xuan and Luo Feng got on the front car.
Everything is ready and the transport vehicle starts.
Ye Xuan looked at the scene outside the window that was constantly receding and couldn't stop feeling excited. He was about to leave the base and go back to the outside world.
But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.
The world outside has undergone tremendous changes. There is no human presence and it is completely silent. Only weeds and moss are growing wildly in the cracks.
He saw Baihe's iconic building - the neon twin towers. At night, the neon lights of the twin towers changed, looking like two people dancing, hugging, and parting.
Looking out from the connecting corridor of the twin towers, you can see the entire Baihe River. The sparkling river divides the land into two, coming from the north and going to the south.
The education Ye Xuan received since childhood made him understand a common sense: river water will not flow backwards if it has not been changed.
But this common sense no longer applies today.
The long river of human civilization is flowing backwards and is regressing.
How many people are left in this world? Are their efforts worth it? When will this war without gunpowder end?
There are many questions without answers.
Ye Xuan felt a dull pain in his head.
"If you can't figure it out, just close your eyes. The onboard radar will automatically detect danger. Don't worry." Luo Feng said to Ye Xuan, "Many newcomers are like you. They get on the car with great enthusiasm, but become disappointed and confused after seeing the scene outside."
"You will feel powerless, which is normal. This happens when your ability and ideals don't match. Don't think about what the future will be like, just do the things in front of you well. When you do a lot of things in the present, you will find that you have reached a future that you dare not imagine."
Ye Xuan turned his head and saw Luo Feng with his eyes closed under the helmet, then turned back and closed his own eyes.
So just live in the present and move forward one step at a time.
The car was shaking violently. Ye Xuan, who had just closed his eyes, was frightened and opened his eyes. He held the short blade and asked nervously: "What happened? Is it a zombie attack?"
The transporter in the front row said, "In order to avoid zombies, we usually take the small path, so the road is quite steep."
It was a false alarm.
"Sorry, I'm not very clear on this first mission."
The transporter smiled and looked at Ye Xuan through the rearview mirror inside the car. "It's okay. All of us were newcomers once. We just need to get used to it."
Luo Feng patted Ye Xuan on the shoulder and said to him, "You are too nervous, relax."
"yes."
Ye Xuan leaned back in his chair.
It was hard for him not to be nervous. He had fought his way out of a pile of zombies. He knew very well how scary and disgusting those things were. The strong fishy smell seemed to still linger in his nose.
Now that he has to face it again, and the zombies he faces are not virtual zombies, he will still be nervous.
Luo Feng glanced at Ye Xuan, said nothing, and closed his eyes in his seat.
After driving all the way, the transport truck arrived at the mining site safely, and Ye Xuan's anxious heart gradually settled down.
