After hearing Lin Yu's words, Gu Chen stopped being coy and opened the bag without caring about his image, stuffing handfuls of food into his mouth.
He hadn't eaten anything for a very long time, and these days he had been struggling to survive on a small bottle of water that he could exchange for the fifteen points he earned at work.
"Eat slowly! Eat slowly! Chenchen, come and drink some water." Lin's mother helped him unscrew the bottle cap.
Lin Yu pouted to the side: He doesn't even get this kind of treatment!
After Gu Chen finished eating and drinking, he let out a loud burp and realized that he had lost his composure, his face turning bright red.
"I...I thank you!"
Lin Yu pushed his backpack forward. "When you go down later, take this with you. It should be enough for you to eat for a week."
Gu Chen quickly waved his hand, "No need, no need, thank you, but I haven't agreed to join you yet, so..."
Lin Anran: "It's okay, we'll give you time to think it over. This food is enough for you to live here for a week. I'll come back to find you after a week. If you agree, pack your things and I'll come pick you up then."
"Okay." Gu Chen nodded solemnly a few times. In fact, he was already willing, but there were still things to take care of here, so he couldn't leave now.
After seeing Lin Anran and the others off, Gu Chen carried his heavy backpack into the house.
Before I even reached the door, my backpack was pulled back by a strong force.
"Stop right there! Gu Chen! Who are those guys to you? What do they want with you? What's in your backpack? Take it out and let us see!"
The man arrogantly twisted his neck, his grip on the backpack tight, and tried to snatch it, but Gu Chen flung him away.
"Hey! You dare dump me? Do you want to die?"
Gu Chen sneered, "You shouldn't touch my things!"
Having just eaten, Gu Chen was full of energy and had no fear of the people in front of him.
"You want to die? Gu Chen, you've got some nerve!"
The man's eyes blazed with fury as he clenched his fist and slammed it towards Gu Chen.
Once, twice, three times... the man who missed became even more agitated.
"Alright! Xiao Xing, come back!" The man who had been standing at the back spoke, his voice icy.
Xing Li, whose eyes were bloodshot from being stopped, glared at the nonchalant Gu Chen, his hands trembling with anger. "Brother Yong, we can't let him get away with this! He's too arrogant!"
Lu Yongqiang's smile was twisted. He put on what he thought was a very amiable smile and said politely, "How can you treat Xiao Chen like this? We're all brothers, let's not always be fighting and killing each other."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Chen again, "Right, Xiao Chen? Your brother Xing also has a bad temper. Don't misunderstand. I was just afraid that you would be deceived by those people. I wanted to see what was in the bag because I was worried about you."
"Hmph! Is that so? Brother Yong, you're the boss of our F district, why didn't you come to help when they arrived?" Gu Chen sneered.
Lu Yongqiang hadn't expected Gu Chen to show him no respect whatsoever, and his originally amiable smile almost crumbled.
"How dare you talk to Brother Yong like that! Do you want a beating?"
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now!"
Ignoring the gloomy looks from the others, Gu Chen stepped into the house.
Xing Meng wanted to chase after them, but Lu Yongqiang stopped him, saying, "Don't go. First, find out who those people are!"
"Yes, Brother Yong."
......
Lin Anran and the others didn't rush back to the villa. Their enthusiasm for shopping yesterday had been ruined by those two idiots, so they decided to do some shopping again today.
Before he knew it, Lin's father had driven to the points redemption center.
Having come this far, the group got out of the car.
Unlike the long queue when they first arrived, it was unusually quiet today, with only a few people scattered around the hall doing their own things.
"Why are there so few people today? Did we miss something?" Lin Yu looked at the empty hall in surprise.
"I don't know, let's go in and take a look!" Lin Anran was also puzzled, as this had never happened in her previous life!
Upon arriving in front of the large screen, the group immediately understood the new task that had been released that morning.
A secret basement was discovered 5 kilometers away, containing a large amount of food. Anyone who brings out useful information from there will have all the supplies.
Lin Anran frowned slightly. A secret basement?
Why didn't you discover this in your past life?
Moreover, the base only wants information from there, not supplies. Could it be that there is something very important there?
"Shall we go take a look too?"
The group exclaimed in unison, "Great!"
I've been at the base for a few days now, and it's been too comfortable. It's not interesting at all. I'd rather go out and kill some zombies!
After skillfully filling out the exit form, Lin's father drove the group on the road.
Following the map provided at the base, it took me two hours to get there. Seeing vehicles everywhere proved how sought-after this mission was.
They didn't park the car too close. After parking, the group walked to the entrance of the secret basement.
"Is it you guys?" Xie Nan's striking red hair made him exclaim in surprise.
Lin Anran and her friends didn't expect to run into them. They hadn't seen them since the last time they visited their home.
Xie Bei greeted them softly, and Lin Anran nodded slightly. She looked behind the two of them and saw four other people, each with a look on their face that said, "Don't mess with us, strangers stay away."
Xie Nan eased the awkwardness by saying, "They are from our team: Bo Cheng, Guo Lin, He Luoyang, and Mo Yu."
The two nodded to each other.
Lin Yu casually put his hand on Xie Nan's shoulder. "Brother Nan, are you here to do a mission too?"
