Chapter 012 Chapter 12: Notorious
Although Geng Nannan didn't know how the base made instant noodles, the base had not cultivated any edible ingredients for so many years.
Of course, the opening of a restaurant in the base proves that edible ingredients have been cultivated in the base.
But even if it is cultivated, the yield will definitely not be high, which means that food is limited.
Moreover, even if edible food is cultivated, it does not mean that it will be stable. What if it disappears one day?
When Geng Nannan thought of this, she felt a little worried.
After eating instant noodles, she really didn’t want to eat the nutrient solution anymore. She had no appetite just by looking at it. What if there were no instant noodles in the future?
Forget it, don’t think too much about it for now. It’s better to eat more while there is still some.
Wang Xue looked at Geng Nannan suspiciously, feeling that she was weird.
However, since she had already asked, she continued to ask, "By the way, what was that smell when you came over this morning? It smelled quite nice."
Geng Nannan froze, pretending to be crazy and stupid, "Huh? What's that smell? Why don't I smell it?"
"It's such a fragrant smell. You have such a strong smell on your body, don't say you don't know." Seeing the two of them talking here, another colleague couldn't help but come over.
"Yes, I don't know what the smell is, but it smells really good." A person came over, seemed to recall the smell, and swallowed his saliva.
Geng Nannan was surrounded by her colleagues, and those pairs of eyes and every gaze made her feel like a thorn in her back.
She originally wanted to hide it, but the more she avoided the question, the more obvious the suspicious looks from her colleagues became.
From childhood to adulthood, Geng Nannan had never been surrounded by so many people. The gazes were too scorching, and she really couldn't bear it anymore, so she finally told the truth.
"Alright, alright, stop surrounding me like that. Isn't that enough for me to say?" Geng Nannan said, looking a little overwhelmed. "There's a restaurant over at Building 13. I ate instant noodles there this morning and got the smell."
In fact, when she came here, she felt that there was no smell on her body, but she was still smelled by this group of people.
"hotel?"
"instant noodles?"
"You mean the kind from before the apocalypse? How could such a thing exist now? Have you become stupid from reading too many novels?"
Geng Nannan rolled her eyes and said, "Anyway, I've told you, believe it or not."
It’s best not to believe it. The restaurant is not big and there are not many seats inside. It would be terrible if there are too many people and she can’t get a meal.
"Wait, when I passed by Building 13 this morning, I saw a Happy Restaurant. I didn't see it when I went back yesterday. Is that the one you're talking about?"
"Ah, I saw it this morning too. It looked like it was made overnight. I thought it was some new entertainment activity."
"So it's true? There really is instant noodles in the base?"
For a moment, everyone was so excited that they didn't notice the noise getting louder.
In an instant, the baby in the neonatal ward was awakened and started crying.
The newborns who were born one after another in the past few days have not been taken away from the neonatal ward yet, so they started crying one after another.
Geng Nannan and others hurried over to comfort the baby, and looked at the person who had just spoken loudly with accusing eyes.
After a lot of hassle, we finally managed to calm all the babies down. Everyone was exhausted. Some sat on the sofa, while others leaned against the wall to rest.
When the reminder sounded for the end of get off work, Geng Nannan instantly became energetic and stood up happily to leave work.
She was happy, but Wang Xue, who had to be on duty today, had a bitter face. Seeing her colleagues who did not have to be on duty speeding up to leave work, it was obvious that they were much more anxious than usual.
Wang Xue quickly grabbed Geng Nannan's hand.
Geng Nannan was pulled back and looked back at her, "What are you doing? I'm off work, let me go."
Wang Xue looked at her pitifully and said, "Please, bring me some instant noodles too, please, please!"
Geng Nannan was being dragged so far that she couldn't move at all. She could only nod and agree, "I'll ask later. If I can, I'll bring you the baby, but it's not certain. If not, you'd better drink the nutrient solution and eat it after get off work this afternoon."
Wang Xue sighed sadly and let go of Geng Nannan.
As a result, several other staff members on duty stopped Geng Nannan again and said, "Geng Nannan, you can't be partial. If you can bring it back, bring it back to us. Please."
Geng Nannan: “…”
Geng Nannan had no choice but to agree to everything, feeling extremely regretful. It was all her fault for speaking too quickly, which resulted in everyone else leaving and leaving her stranded here.
After the colleagues on duty made way, Geng Nannan immediately rushed out like the wind. When she went outside to change clothes, the other colleagues had already changed clothes and left, and their figures could no longer be seen.
Geng Nannan was so anxious that she quickly changed her clothes and rushed to Building 13.
12:07 pm.
A group of neonatal incubation center staff rushed into the hotel.
The rumbling sound of the footsteps of more than ten people was quite loud, which startled An Qing, who was sitting at the bar and feeling a little bored. She looked over and saw a group of people rushing in.
"Is there any instant noodles here? Give me a bowl!"
"I want two bowls!"
“Give me three bowls!!”
An Qing: "..."
The group of people who rushed in saw An Qing sitting at the bar and rushed over quickly. Their posture of rushing over looked like zombies in a doomsday movie.
An Qing subconsciously leaned back to avoid the group of people rushing towards her.
However, Tang Ming stopped the dozen or so people who had just rushed to the bar before they could pounce.
An Qing was a little frightened by the noise just now. Now, she understood why the boss arranged the Fire Team to come. Only a dozen people could make such a noise. It was hard to imagine what the situation would be like if there were more people.
"Quiet." Tang Ming stopped the group of people. His gentle voice suddenly turned cold, and the cold aura emanated from his body, which scared the staff of the training center.
My brain, which had just heated up, suddenly calmed down.
Everyone's eyes fell on Tang Ming. The flame badge on his chest represented his identity.
For a moment, everyone was a little scared. Under Tang Ming's cold gaze, they even had the urge to turn around and run away.
What's going on?
Why are there people from the Fire Team here?
Didn’t Geng Nannan say that there are instant noodles here before the end of the world?
The group of people, whose faces turned slightly pale due to fear, stepped back subconsciously.
An Qing's eyelids twitched. She noticed that the group seemed to want to leave, so she quickly stood up and said, "Excuse me, everyone, please take a seat. We currently have braised beef noodles, sour soup beef noodles, and pickled pepper beef noodles..."
With a smile on her face, she introduced three flavors of instant noodles.
As she spoke, An Qing took out a pen and paper and asked, "What flavors would you like, guests?"
The group of people who were really planning to leave hesitated for a moment, looked at An Qing who was smiling very amiably, and then looked at Tang Ming who was standing next to her like a door god.
After struggling for a while between staying and leaving, he recalled the fragrance on Geng Nannan's body, and finally he mustered up the courage to stay.
However, under Tang Ming's gaze, everyone was very honest.
The person in the front swallowed and said cautiously, "One portion, braised beef noodles."
An Qing wrote it down and said with a smile, "Okay, please wait a moment, where are the guests behind?"
Afterwards, more than a dozen people told each other the flavors they wanted. After An Qing wrote them down, they obediently found a seat and sat down.
However, everyone sat at the place farthest away from Tang Ming.
An Qing took the list into the kitchen and started making instant noodles.
She looked through the transparent glass of the kitchen and saw a group of people sitting quietly in the corner like quails, and she almost laughed out loud.
She knew that these teams with special names were notorious, but she never expected that the captain of the Fiery Team alone could scare them so much.
However, An Qing glanced at Tang Ming who followed and stood at the kitchen door.
At this time, Tang Ming no longer had the fierce aura he had before, and there was still a faint smile on his face. He looked gentle and handsome, completely different from the one who had stopped the group of people before.
An Qing was soaking instant noodles while thinking about something.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that this person was inexplicably familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.
But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't figure out where this sense of familiarity came from.
Maybe the original owner once knew him?
But she also didn't dig out Tang Ming's figure from the original owner's memory.
Geng Nannan rushed into the restaurant and shouted, "Boss, give me a bowl of all three flavors!"
There was an eerie silence in the hotel.
Geng Nannan subconsciously stopped in her tracks. Something was wrong. Why was there no one in the store? Didn't her colleagues come over? This couldn't be possible!
She glanced around the store and saw a group of people huddled in a corner.
"You guys..." Geng Nannan was a little confused. She didn't understand why there were so many seats in the restaurant, but more than ten of them were squeezed around the two tables in the corner.
The tables in the store are rectangular tables that can seat six people.
Now, seventeen people were squeezed into the two tables in the corner, which looked very funny.
When everyone saw Geng Nannan, they made faces at her and kept giving her glances.
Geng Nannan realized it later and followed their gaze towards the kitchen door, where she met a pair of deep black eyes.
Members of a team with a special name like the Fiery Squad have all undergone special training. In addition to various intensive trainings on their physical and mental strength, which make them very different from ordinary people, they also have a murderous aura developed from years of experiencing various unimaginable dangers in the dense forest.
So much so that even without looking at the badge on their chests, one can feel that they are definitely not an ordinary outing team.
Geng Nannan felt a chill running up her spine, and her whole body shivered for no reason. She immediately wanted to rush into the team of her colleagues and huddle together and shiver.
An Qing heard Geng Nannan's voice, looked up, and quickly responded, "Okay, please wait."
Seventeen bowls of instant noodles were ready. She was holding the tray and was about to serve them out when her hand felt light.
"I'll do it." Tang Ming took the tray from her.
An Qing: "..."
She subconsciously glanced at the guest in the corner and her lips twitched, but before she could refuse, Tang Ming had already walked out with the tray.
