Chapter 60 A Waste of Time



Lin Anran and her group went down to the basement with the Wild Wolf Squad. This time they brought nothing but their eyes for watching the show and their hoes for putting on an act.

Following the original path all the way to the deepest part, the place where the human-faced centipede's corpse was originally was now filled with people.

Qi Lie roared, "Who is it?!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he was furious. This was a road they had painstakingly dug for a day and a night, and it had been stolen!

The supplies he was determined to obtain have now come to nothing.

Only a mutated centipede with its head ripped off remained on the ground; even its corpse was incomplete.

There were only a few scattered packets of bread left on the shelf behind the body, and they were expired.

Xie Bei's desire to perform was instantly ignited. He rushed to the shelf and shook it wildly, shouting, "Who is it? Who is it? Don't let me find out who it is, I'll make them pay!"

As he spoke, he turned back to ask another angry man, "Qi Lie! Do you know who he is?"

Qi Lie, who was originally furious, was startled by Xie Bei's sudden rush. He quickly shook his head and said, "No, I don't know."

"Hmph! Don't let me find him, or I'll crush him in a heartbeat!"

Lin Anran and the others tried hard to suppress their laughter. This was too funny! If it were before the apocalypse, he would definitely have won an Oscar, hahaha.

Qi Lie realized what was happening. He gritted his teeth. He had actually been intimidated by a mere kid. "Hmph! Retreat!"

"I will report the situation here to the base, and we will definitely find out who it is!"

The voice echoed faintly from the cave entrance. The people in the basement speculated about who it was, but no one could say for sure, and they all parted on bad terms.

The once lively basement was now empty except for Lin Anran's family and the Wild Wolf Squad.

Xie Bei burst out laughing, "Did you guys see that? That big guy's face after eating shit, it cracked me up! Hahahahahaha."

Lin Yu patted his sturdy back hard. "That's awesome, bro. I give you a thumbs up."

"Cough cough cough! Thank you, thank you! You're quite strong."

Everyone: "Hahahahahaha."

After a night of cooperation, Xie Nan's previous cold demeanor had softened. He spoke softly, "What are you planning to do? If we go back now, we'll definitely be inspected, and the entire truckload of goods will be exposed."

Lin Anran was also a little worried. If she put all the goods in the car into the storage space at once, someone with ulterior motives would definitely find out.

Seeing Lin Anran's hesitation, Xie Nan replied, "We found a cellar near the base before. If you don't mind, you can come with us and put your things there first."

Fearing that Lin Anran might disagree, he added, "Don't worry, the things won't be lost."

"Okay! It's decided then! Thanks, Captain."

Xie Nan gave a slight smile. "Just call me Xie Nan."

"Okay, thank you, Captain!"

Okay, he knew it; saying it was pointless.

After packing up everything, Lin's father drove his car and followed the SUV that was leading the way. When they were still five kilometers away from the base, the car stopped next to a grove of trees.

Lin Anran: "We need to hurry. If we get back late, they'll become suspicious."

"good!"

Guo Lin and his group worked with great enthusiasm, and after moving their own things, they also moved Lin Anran's family's goods.

Back at the base entrance, there was a long queue. This time, the check wasn't for the new survivors, but for those who had gone out on missions.

Xie Nan led the Wild Wolf Squad ahead, but they were stopped.

The man in camouflage raised his hand to signal the car to stop, then waited for everyone to get out before getting back in to conduct a search.

"Report: No!"

The man, with a forced smile, looked at Xie Nan and the others. "Thank you for your help, Captain Xie. We're just conducting a routine inspection. Please come in!"

Xie Bei nodded towards the van behind them, and they disappeared through the doorway.

Once the Wild Wolf Squad left, the man's expression returned to its cold indifference. "Get out of the car, routine check."

"Report! There are pots, pans, and a barbecue grill here!"

After listening to the report, the man's brow twitched slightly, and he stepped forward to investigate.

Lin Yu quickly explained, "Sir, this is our own."

"Yes, I know!" He was just a little curious about the various ingredients and pots that the group of people were talking about.

He really learned a lot this time.

"Alright, there's nothing here, you can come in."

Seeing the group enter the base unharmed, the limping woman hiding in the shadows had bloodshot eyes.

Why isn't that bitch dead yet!

It's all her fault. She ruined her reputation, got tied up for no reason, and even got beaten up for nothing.

Now her foot is broken, there is no medical care available, and she can't even walk.

"Rou Rou? What's wrong? Does your leg still hurt?"

Upon hearing the gruff voice, Shen Sirou immediately changed her expression, tears welling in her eyes, "Brother Lie, you're finally back! Did you get the things?"

"I'm sorry, Rou Rou, the things there were secretly moved away, and the medicine you wanted is gone too."

"What?! How can you be so useless!" Shen Sirou's sharp voice suddenly rose.

Qi Lie's face immediately turned ugly. Something that was almost in his hands suddenly disappeared. Anyone would be angry, especially when the woman he liked was supporting his head and scolding him.

Realizing she had lost her composure, Shen Sirou bit her lip, her eyes filled with tears. "I'm sorry, Brother Lie, I was just anxious. It's alright, with Brother Lie here, Sirou isn't afraid."

Qi Lie's face was still not good. "Well, Si Rou, don't worry, I'll go out and look for it these next two days. I'll definitely bring the medicine back."

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Lie."

————

Back at the villa, everyone yawned several times.

Dahei and Tuantuan ran to the door to greet them, "Dear Mommy, Grandma, we're hungry!"

Lin Anran chuckled softly, "So cute!"

She took out cat food, dog food, cat kibble, and dog food from her storage space. It's a treat today, which good baby wants some?

"Woof woof woof!" I...I...I...

Meow~

Watching her two well-behaved children finish their meal, Lin Anran could no longer hold back.

I'm so sleepy, I'll never stay up late again.

Lin's mother: "Everyone, take a nap first! We can talk about it when we get up."

"good!"

Working non-stop from morning till night, Lin Anran fell asleep almost as soon as her head hit the bed.

Jiang Qinian carefully lay down to the side, holding the soft little hand in one hand and playing the single-player game Plants vs. Zombies on the tablet with the other.

The man easily passed twenty levels, but then got stuck on the level with the Dancing Zombie.

Lin Anran suddenly felt her hand loosen, her brows furrowed, and her small hands groped haphazardly under the covers.

Only when I touched that familiar, firm flesh did I drift peacefully into sleep.

————

"Rumble—Rumble—"

Lightning and showers cascaded down like a waterfall.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Ranran! Ranran! Are you awake?"

Still asleep, Lin Anran replied with her eyes closed, "I'm awake, Mom! What's wrong?"

"It's raining so hard outside! Come down and take a look."
