"Dr. Lin! Don't worry about me, we need your help now!"
Li Lei was so anxious that blisters appeared on the corners of his mouth. He grabbed Lin Ge with one hand and carried her out.
"Ouch! My back! Take it easy. What's wrong? Has someone been infected?"
Only after arriving at the building prepared by Chen Chao did Li Lei put down Lin Ge, who was almost collapsing.
"Dr. Lin! Something terrible has happened! We need a lot of medicine now."
Lin Ge's eyes widened. "You need a lot of medicine? Tell me, has something terrible happened?"
"Yes! Half of the soldiers have turned into zombies, we must save them!"
Over the next ten minutes, Li Lei highlighted the key points in a concise and easy-to-understand manner.
Lin Ge gritted her teeth as she listened, then looked worried, "But I don't have that many potions, I need time!"
"It's alright! Just go ahead and do it, we can wait!"
Lin Ge nodded seriously, "Okay! I will go into seclusion from now on. Don't let anyone disturb me. I will come out when I'm finished!"
"good!"
The next morning, Lin Anran placed the long table in the center of the tent.
Countless steamed buns, fried dough sticks, hand-pulled pancakes, scallion pancakes, and millet porridge were laid out on the table.
The soldier, who was still asleep, was startled awake.
"Ugh, I'm so hungry, I can actually smell steamed buns."
"You can tell! I can smell it too! They must be starving!"
Wait! The group exchanged glances, put on their shoes, and came out of the tent—it was full of food!
They rubbed their eyes hard. Could they be seeing things?! There really was so much food!
Lin Anran set out the last pair of chopsticks and called to the soldiers who were standing there, stunned and motionless.
"Brothers! Aren't you hungry? Come and eat!"
Lin's mother grabbed them and forced them onto the stools, saying, "Eat up! Look how thin the children have become from hunger!"
The other soldiers reacted quickly and began wolfing down their food.
These buns can be eaten in one bite; they haven't had them in ages!
Even if that group of people hadn't come, they would still have been eating compressed biscuits. This is just too dreamy!
Jiang Junke spoke with authority, "After we finish eating, we'll set off again. We expect to arrive this afternoon, so everyone be prepared!"
"receive!"
Originally intending to lose weight, Lin's mother chose to eat while watching this delicious-smelling food broadcast.
I'm suddenly so hungry!
This time, there was no rest stop along the way; we drove directly to the Southern Security Base.
Chen Chao and his men, who had been guarding the city gate since morning, saw the car in the distance and hurriedly called for the gate to be opened.
The roadside was crowded with survivors, who were cheering.
Yesterday's gossip got more and more outlandish, with some saying they had all been infected and turned into zombies, and others saying that something had happened to the two protagonists of the marriage proposal.
Chen Chao couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he told everyone the story of the soldiers, but he concealed the fact that there were zombie soldiers among them.
Today, everyone spontaneously welcomed their hero.
Jeeps drove into the base one after another, and the soldiers inside were moved to tears by the enthusiastic welcome.
Suddenly, what they did took on meaning; as long as their hometown was peaceful and the people were safe, that was the meaning of their struggle.
"Oh dear! Look at these children, they're so thin they're unrecognizable! Quick, quick, Auntie's made some hot sesame seed cakes, have some!"
"They're so thin! My son is about the same age as them, it's so pitiful. I'd be heartbroken if their parents knew!"
"Young man, these are pancakes made by Grandma. Don't be picky, have some..."
"......"
The soldiers were surrounded and unable to move, and they tearfully refused the food offered by the people.
"Thank you, Grandma. You can keep these things for yourselves. We have food to eat!"
"Yes, Auntie, we have rules against accepting your things. Please keep them and eat them slowly. The apocalypse isn't over yet, so everyone needs to take care of their own safety!"
Chen Chao coughed twice. "Everyone, don't stand here anymore. The base has arranged a big feast today. Let's all gather in the square to eat!"
During the meal, the soldiers once again felt the warmth of family; they felt very comforted.
Lin Anran and Jiang Qinian finally felt relieved after hearing Li Lei's report.
Those soldiers shouldn't have left like that; they should have been alive and well.
Returning to the home I've lived in for several years, nothing has changed except for the furniture; it's even still clean.
Although they left, Chen Chao still arranged for someone to clean the room regularly and did not arrange for anyone else to move in, keeping a home for them at all times.
Lin Anran put the furniture out again, restoring it to its previous state.
"Ah! This feels so good, it's just like the familiar place!"
Lin Yu was so exhausted that he collapsed on the sofa as if he had no bones.
Gu Chen gave him a disdainful punch, then sat down to the side with a smile, saying, "Even if it's tiring this time, it's worth it!"
"Yes! It seems that even in the apocalypse, the country has never abandoned us; they are just carrying the burden forward."
Jiang Junke reported the entire situation here to the state.
They expressed their gratitude for the hard work in completing the mission and said they would be rewarded after the apocalypse ended.
