"That's true! If we go, even if it's confiscated, we can still get something out of it."
"Stop talking, let's go too. The fewer people who know about this, the better. Let's go and make some money to save up for ourselves."
"Walk!"
Several people came out of the toilet and slipped away quickly.
"Brother! We've taken care of it as you said. If you ever need anything in the future, just come to us brothers!"
"Um!"
Niu Ben handed the supplies in his hand to a few people, then turned and disappeared into the corridor.
Xu Hu emerged from the toilet clutching his stomach, but the person had vanished.
"That bastard made breakfast, it hurt so much!"
He limped back to the villa. If the toilet hadn't been clogged and he hadn't been unable to find anyone, he wouldn't have had to suffer in a public toilet.
"Brother Xu! You're back~"
The woman had just clung to him when Xu Hu pushed her away, saying, "Get lost! Can't you see I'm uncomfortable?!"
"Yes! I'm sorry, Brother Xu!"
"Go and get me the medicine!"
Xu Hu lay on the sofa, thinking about what he had overheard in the bathroom.
Armory? If I get there, I can at least get a couple of guns to play with.
He endured the pain in his stomach, put on his coat, and went outside.
"Brother Xu! The medicine is here!"
The woman returned to the living room, but the man was gone. She angrily slammed the medicine on the table and snorted coldly.
"Stop pretending! If I didn't need something from you, who would want to serve a nobody like you! Bah!"
Niu Ben, who came to deliver the goods, saw this scene and his eyes turned cold.
"Are you tired of living? How dare you slander the boss like this behind his back!"
The woman trembled. "I...I didn't, I didn't say anything! You, you're talking nonsense!"
Under Niu Ben's watchful gaze, the woman fled in panic.
His eyes were fixed on the top floor; everything was there!
Niu Ben used the warehouse key to open the bedroom door. "In the bedside table drawer...found it!"
He looked at the bunch of keys and couldn't help but frown. Xu Hu was so cautious about everything, including people.
Given his style, only one of these keys is genuine.
Niu Ben held the keys, trying them one by one, beads of sweat slowly trickling down his forehead. He was terrified that Xu Hu would suddenly come in through the front door.
"Snap!"
The door opened, and Niu Ben rushed into the warehouse. He was stunned by what he saw and stood there dumbfounded.
The room was filled with a dazzling array of items, including various foods and drinks, as well as other supplies and the crystal cores he had delivered a couple of days ago.
Xu Hu complained about his predicament to him every day, but it turned out to be all an act.
They had been following Xu Hu since the apocalypse; if not brothers who had risked their lives together, they were certainly friends who had kept each other company.
The incident involving Yang Xue had already deeply disheartened them; Xu Hu was only thinking of himself and was far too selfish!
Niu Ben's initial feelings of guilt vanished in an instant; he was unworthy to be their captain.
He searched through the warehouse with great effort, but found nothing of the kind of medicine.
Where exactly is it?
Niu Ben grew increasingly anxious; time was running out, and he was about to return!
Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to the metal box beside him. Why was there a broken box there?
Driven by curiosity, he opened the tin box. "It's a potion!"
Great, he finally found it!
Now his captaincy is practically his for the taking!
"Clang!"
Someone's back! Niu Ben rushed out of the warehouse, not even having time to lock it, and threw the key on the ground.
Why are you still here?
It turned out that the woman from earlier had returned. He was a little indignant that Niu Ben, an ordinary team member, dared to give her attitude.
She's the captain's woman, after all; she absolutely can't lose face.
Upon seeing who it was, Niu Ben felt relieved. Thankfully, it wasn't Xu Hu, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to escape this time.
"I... I left my things here, and you, why are you back?"
A hint of embarrassment crossed the woman's face. "Mind your own business! I'll wait for Brother Xu here!"
Niu Ben snorted coldly, "You should know your current situation. I advise you to leave as soon as possible."
"Mind your own business! If we go out now, there'll be no food or water, and I'll definitely starve to death. I'd rather stay here with him!"
"I'm not like you. You're superhumans, you have abilities to protect yourselves, but I'm just an ordinary person. I have no abilities, so I can only protect myself!"
The woman screamed hysterically; she didn't want to submit to someone else, but she was forced by circumstances.
Niu Ben, who had never been in a relationship, stood there stunned. He had never thought about others and had no idea how many people had sacrificed other things for their own lives.
"I'm sorry, I...I didn't know. Please bear with it for two more days, and I will definitely rescue you!"
"No need! This is my life, and I don't want to drag you down with it."
Tears streamed down the woman's face. She no longer knew what pain felt like. Everyone thought she was living a glamorous life with Xu Hu, but in reality, she was the one who suffered the most.
Seeing the woman cry, Xu Hu became even more at a loss. He quickly took out the tissues from his pocket and stuffed them into her face.
"Don't cry, I'm telling the truth. I will definitely be able to rescue you, but it may take two days. Only the two of us know about this."
The woman's heart, which had never fluttered before, suddenly began to beat slowly. "Okay! I'll wait for you!"
Thinking of the keys left on the floor upstairs, Niu Ben coaxed the woman away and then went upstairs alone.
He quickly put the key back in its original place, turned around and left the villa.
Everything happened so fast that even he himself did not expect things to be completed so smoothly.
All that's left is to hand this over to the base commander.
Niu Ben had only taken two steps when he was directly confronted by Xu Hu, who had rushed back.
"Boss, where have you been? I was just looking for you!"
Xu Hu's eyes darted around slightly. "I have something to do! Is it any of your business?"
"No, no need. I was just about to deliver some supplies to you and went to your villa, but there was no one there and the gate was wide open, so I came out to look for you."
"Huh? Nobody's here?"
Xu Hu thought back to when he left, there were clearly still people at home, so how could there be no one there?
He ignored the shouts of the oxen behind him; he had a premonition, a feeling that something was quietly happening.
He pressed the two small pistols in his pocket, but this trip had yielded some results.
"Gurgle~"
Oh no! Xu Hu quickly squeezed his legs together; he needed to use the restroom again!
"Who made me breakfast? I'll kill him!"
Liu Ben watched the fleeing figure and chuckled softly.
It seems the medicine was quite effective; it's a good lesson for him!
