A group of people boarded the bus, which had been empty when it departed, now returned fully loaded, just like during rush hour.
Chen Pingtou also took the opportunity to bring Thursday and Friday, as well as his daughter, into the car, and took out the chocolates he had taken with him when they ate hot pot and gave them to his daughter.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, sweetie. From now on, we'll stay with this older sister. She's a good person. Remember, even if Daddy disappears, you'll still have to stay with her, okay?"
Chen Pingtou's daughter nodded obediently upon hearing this, and then looked at the older sister.
My sister is so beautiful! She's the most beautiful sister I've ever seen, even more beautiful than those celebrities on TV! Although my sister was fierce just now, she was fighting a big villain, that bad guy!
My older sister is like a great hero in an animated film who slays demons and monsters, saving her father and her!
When no one else in the warehouse was willing to get on the bus, Su Luo raised her hand, and the driver understood, closed the door, and returned to the warehouse where the freezers had been stored.
The group sat in the car, relieved to have escaped the devil Tai Ge, but also afraid that this woman, who was even more ferocious than Tai Ge, was an even more terrifying figure. Apart from Jiang Yingxue, who had followed Su Luo earlier, and Chen Pingtou and a few others, almost everyone else remained silent.
Just then, a figure moved closer to Su Luo, smiling and extending his hand. "Hello, let me introduce myself. I am Liu Lizhi, the accountant of this warehouse. I also worked in the warehouse receiving and shipping for a period of time before."
At this point, Liu Lizhi paused, glanced at Jiang Yingxue next to Su Luo, and continued, "She is also a good friend of President Jiang."
Hearing this, Su Luo turned to look at Jiang Yingxue, then at Liu Lizhi, who seemed to be offering his services rather than his own. Sure enough, people make friends with people of similar character, and Liu Lizhi clearly saw through this earlier than the others.
"Your friend?"
"Hmm...I guess so." Jiang Yingxue nodded. "She's definitely very capable in her field, but as for her as a person, well..."
That's what she said, but Su Luo sensed a lot of unspoken meaning in Jiang Yingxue's words.
Is Jiang Yingxue and Liu Lizhi... not getting along?
They seem like friends, but not really friends. There's a competitive spirit where the other can't be better than you. More like... frenemy friends?
However, accounting professionals are indeed necessary for Su Luo.
Although Xiao Yi can handle the accounts, Su Luo doesn't want everything to be done through Xiao Yi. The village should have its own business and its own accountant.
If Xiao Yi interferes in everything, how can the people below him develop? A healthy city shouldn't be like that.
Upon arrival, Su Luo got out of the car first, followed by Jiang Yingxue who glanced at Liu Lizhi and then got out as well.
Upon seeing this, Liu Lizhi followed without saying a word. Soon after, Chen Pingtou also led his daughter and younger brother out, acting as if they were very familiar with the place and had been there before.
The remaining people looked at each other, and after a few seconds of silence, they all stood up and hurriedly walked out of the bus!
This is a two-star mystery dungeon, who knows if there are traps? Now that woman and her people have gone down, are they going to wait to die in the car if they don't go down?
The unknown is the most terrifying thing. Without knowing the details, people who have just been liberated to the post-apocalyptic environment would never be willing to stay in a strange instance without protection.
However, this panic gradually turned into terror and uncertainty after getting off the bus.
I'm staying overnight at the warehouse tonight, that plan hasn't changed. The pots and pans haven't been cleaned yet, so I can have an extra meal now that I'm back.
The aroma of spicy hot pot wafted out of the warehouse. Upon hearing the commotion outside, Zhou Yi and Tuesday stood up and pulled out a burning wooden stick from under the pot. They headed towards the warehouse's main entrance, but before they could take more than a few steps, they were stopped by a tree covered in brain-like growths...
In the center of the enormous brain flower tree was a gigantic brain flower, roughly the size of eighty or ninety people's brains combined. Surrounding it grew layers of smaller brain flowers, some no bigger than quail eggs. At that moment, it was entangled with them, unable to communicate, and shyly shook its head.
Monday and Tuesday: ...
Good heavens, are they hallucinating from eating hot pot? We didn't cook any pig brains, so it's unlikely that the pig brains have come to haunt them!
Around the same time that Brother Brain was staring at her on Monday and Tuesday, Su Luo walked in from outside the warehouse. Seeing that it was Sister Su, Monday and Tuesday felt a little relieved and put the things in their hands back.
"Sister Su, it's Boss Chen!"
On Monday and Tuesday, they rushed over in alarm, only to find on Wednesday that he was carrying Qianqian, covered in blood, with Chen Tou'er following behind. They had made a makeshift swaddle out of their clothes and were holding a small, thin child.
"Boss Chen? What's going on?"
Seeing Wednesday's reaction, Monday and Tuesday didn't dare to ask directly. Instead, they looked at Chen Pingtou, only to see Chen Pingtou give them a wink, walk to the side, and briefly tell Monday and Tuesday what they had just seen and what had happened. Monday and Tuesday were furious!
"Is he even human? How could he do something like this!"
"Pah, serves him right. Luckily, Sister Su was there this time, otherwise who knows how bad things would have been!" Zhou Er exclaimed, then expressed his utmost admiration for Sister Su.
People who came in one after another discovered that there were other people in the warehouse, who were probably Sister Su's former teammates. Not only that, there was a pot in the warehouse, containing food from before the apocalypse. There were also air mattresses, outdoor tents, sleeping bags, and small chairs arranged nearby!
This isn't a refugee camp; you'd think they were on a picnic!
Su Luo glanced at the contents of the pot, then poured all the remaining vegetables into it. At the same time, she asked Ye Rong and the others to get more plates to distribute to everyone.
"Since you're here, consider yourselves citizens of my base city. Eat whatever you like tonight, and go home tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing the words "eat whatever you want," everyone stared at the hot pot and swallowed hard. But then, something occurred to them, and they hesitated.
After all, what I just saw in Brother Tai's warehouse was pretty much the same as what I'm seeing now... except for the food and the aroma.
Su Luo knew this, but she wasn't kind enough to make a new dinner for this group of people because of this. Take it or leave it.
As soon as Su Luo finished speaking, the thugs who followed Brother Tai exchanged glances and immediately stepped forward to occupy an excellent position.
In fact, this is much better than working for Brother Tai. With hot pot to eat, why would I need to worry about anything else?
Then, Liu Lizhi also stood up, took his bowl and chopsticks, and sat down on the other side, starting to put chopped green onions and minced garlic on his plate.
The previous scene was terrifying, but the hunger was equally terrifying. Who could resist the sight of such a large pot of hot pot after not having eaten a full meal for so long?
No one can stand it!
However, the later someone makes up their mind, the harder it is to secure a good position; they can only pick up scraps from others.
After just one meal, many of the people who were still skeptical have now almost all begun to trust Su Luo and are thinking about their future.
As for Qianqian...
