Chapter 114: Choosing a Captain
Two tents were set up at the entrance of the warehouse area, a stove was set up, and a hot pot was cooked.
The smell of hot pot wafts everywhere.
Delicious hot pot dishes tumbling in the pot!
There is also a barbecue grill next to it, and large pieces of lamb chops and steaks are grilled with a sizzling sound!
Guozi took out some fresh and crisp vegetables from the space: "I picked these from the farm. A bit of foresight, right?"
After living in two farmhouses, Tian Yao collected as many crops as fruits in her space. She also took away various livestock and poultry raised in Gao Peng's farmhouse.
"You are the one with foresight!" Bai Nana smelled the fragrance and gave the fruit a thumbs up.
Yang Zhijiang said, "I finally know why Lao Lin and Xiao Boai went underground. You guys kept it a secret."
"You're totally wrong!" Lin He waved his hand. He had no idea that Guozi was picking vegetables. He went into the vegetable field to practice his supernatural powers. "I don't know when Guozi picked the vegetables. Guozi has only been here for a while, and we're not familiar with each other."
"I've never been in a vegetable garden with Guozi and Xiaobo. The three of us did keep watch together. Guozi isn't a young woman, so why would I go into a vegetable garden with him?"
"Let me be clear up front, I've never been to a vegetable farm with Old Lin. Before I was picked up by Tian Yao, I visited quite a few farmhouses. I didn't know you back then," Guozi reminisced. "It's a long story; it starts before I arrived in Lincheng. My car broke down on the road, and no one was willing to stop. I stumbled into a farmhouse by accident, picking and eating vegetables along the way until I finally arrived in Lincheng. Back then, I felt like the vegetable farm was the place closest to me in the world."
"Speaking of which, Yao, the hot pot is almost ready. Shouldn't we get down to business?"
Tian Yao smiled and said, "Speaking of the issue of guaranteeing the safety of the family, I have to say a few more words. Personal secrets do not harm the interests of the group. I think it is up to the individual to disclose them or not."
"It's like, on certain days every month, Bai Nana, Ye Xiaofang, and I might be the blood bags that attract zombies. This is originally an extremely private matter, but because it affects everyone, it's no longer a secret."
"Ah, Tian Yao, you caught me off guard with all your words," Ye Xiaofang said with a blushing face, "Go to hell!"
Bai Nana blushed as well, and stammered, "Let's choose the captain!"
"I support Tian Yao in choosing Hou Chao! He doesn't talk much, but he always hits the nail on the head. He's also impartial and fair."
Yang Zhijiang said, "I have no opinion on who becomes the captain. As long as it's fair, just, and transparent, that's fine. I'd add one more thing: don't just pick people up casually."
"Personally, I'd like Monkey to be the captain. He's a pretty good guy, and after spending so much time with him, I think everyone should understand him," Wang Qiancheng said. "We should follow the military's leadership style. A captain will be in charge of the overall direction and combat, and the deputy captain will decide on personnel and logistics."
Liu Xujiang said: "Tian Yao said to choose Monkey, I support Tian Yao and Monkey. Monkey suggested that Tian Yao be the vice-captain, so I will choose Tian Yao as the vice-captain!"
"I support Hou Chao as the captain." Lin He glanced at Tian Yao, thinking she must have her reasons for choosing Hou Chao. "Tian Yao's eye for talent is impeccable, but I can't say much about the others."
Tian Yao had no plans for the future to begin with, so saying she'd just go with the flow was already a compliment to her: "Okay, Lao Lin, you're both praising and belittling me, so just find a hole in the ground for me!"
"Bring out everyone's bowls and chopsticks, and talk while we eat!"
That being said, Hou Chao was the captain. Guozi, Li Zhen, and Duan Lei did not express any opinions. They believed in Tian Yao and supported her decision.
Guozi took out bowls and chopsticks and distributed them to everyone one by one: "Old Yang is right. Let's find some flower pots to plant some vegetable seedlings or something. Many vegetables can be eaten as soon as they start. Flower pots can be stored in space and can be placed in the car. It's like a portable vegetable garden."
"When we go dig out those basements later, let's find some flower pots, soil, fertilizer, and so on. What do you say, Captain?"
Hou Chao looked at Tian Yao, who obviously had not yet become the captain.
Liu Xujiang kicked Hou Chao and said, "Hey, Captain, why are you looking at the deputy captain? He's asking you something!"
Hearing this, Hou Chao retracted his gaze: "It depends on everyone's opinions. This is something that benefits everyone. I personally have no objection!"
"Ouch!" Guozi stood up and picked up a large shrimp from the pot: "Wow, it's so delicious!"
Bai Nana had almost never eaten hot pot, so she asked Guozi for a set of knife and fork and started cutting the steak.
Looking at Bai Nana eating steak, everyone else felt anxious for her!
Liu Xujiang picked up a bowl and scooped up all sorts of food. "It's so lively when we all eat hot pot together. The steak can be roasted slowly and then made into beef jerky that we can carry around with us!"
"Thank you!" Bai Nana thanked Liu Xujiang.
Liu Xujiang buried his head in the food and ate it: "Hurry up and eat! Wow, it smells so good, I want to swallow my tongue!"
From time to time, people came into the warehouse area to collect supplies. When they saw a group of people eating hot pot, no one stopped. Tian Yao was no longer very interested in other people's space ability users. Her current target was Guozi. When Guozi was upgraded to the second level space, she could copy the items in the fruit space. When the fruit space was upgraded to the third level, she could upgrade to the third level space.
"See? No one dared to come over and talk to me," Li Zhen teased Tian Yao, "See if you can shake hands with anyone and touch their children again!"
Tian Yao was in her YY space when she was interrupted by Li Zhen. She was a little unhappy: "I touched a lot of meat! I just touched it!"
"I'll help you!" Duan Lei stuffed a bowl into Tian Yao's hand. He had already scooped a bowl of hot pot dishes for her.
Li Zhen sighed, "Brother Xiaolei, you're helping the evil, you know? Tian Yao was scared away. How are we going to absorb new blood in the future?"
"It's not the number of people that counts, but the quality of them." Tian Yao knew her own limitations, so she wouldn't just pick up random people. "Besides, there aren't so many fruits, monkeys, and oranges for us to stumble across casually. People are connected by fate, except for bad karma!"
"In the apocalypse, everything is about survival. There are two types of people: either a helper or a burden. If we can't find help, we should try not to cause trouble for ourselves."
"For example, if we see someone in trouble and we can help, we will definitely do so, but anything beyond that is beyond our capabilities."
After listening to Tian Yao's words, Hou Chao nodded silently: "When it comes to personnel matters, the deputy captain is indeed experienced!"
Tian Yao was suddenly speechless!
Seeing Tian Yao's frustrated expression, Duan Lei couldn't help but laugh and comforted Tian Yao: "Don't worry, I will help you! I have a good eye for people too!"
People entered the warehouse area one after another, but they were only three or two people scattered around. They took things and left. Those who went to the cold storage did not forget to close the door of the cold storage. It was obvious that they treated the cold storage as a large refrigerator that could be used at any time.
Until someone appeared and caught Tian Yao's attention.
