When Ye Ning received the call from Gao Feng, Xiao Jingchen had just finished a call with Uncle Yun.
"How are Uncle Yun and the others? Are they alright?" Ye Ning handed Xiao Jingchen a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.
Since they parted ways with Uncle Yun last time, they haven't received any news from him, and Ye Ning is quite worried.
"It's alright! They're fine. Six of my father's former subordinates are coming over!" Xiao Jingchen frowned, then picked up his orange juice and drank it all in one gulp.
"Your father's old subordinates, people from the Xiao family?" Ye Ning knew that matters concerning the Xiao family were always a taboo for Xiao Jingchen, and he was unwilling to have too much contact with the Xiao family. Why would the Xiao family suddenly send people over?
"Yes, the old master of the Xiao family has been in poor health these past few years, and the internal struggles within the Xiao family are very serious. They were afraid that I would be in danger, so they came all the way from the United States."
"Old Master Xiao?" This was the first time Ye Ning had heard Xiao Jingchen mention the current situation of the Xiao family. "Your grandfather?"
Xiao Jingchen nodded, his expression clearly becoming somewhat forlorn.
If Xiao Jingchen's grandfather hadn't been so domineering and stubborn, insisting on using others to force his son to submit, how could Xiao Jingchen have lost his parents at such a young age?
Ye Ning could hardly imagine what kind of cold-blooded and ruthless person would use such methods against his own son.
"Have they arrived in City A yet? Should we go and meet them?"
"No need, Uncle Yun and the others have already picked them up." Uncle Yun has taken care of everything for him with the Xiao family.
"So how should we arrange for these people?" To be honest, apart from her companions from her previous life, she didn't want to put the others in the shelter.
The ten years she spent struggling in the apocalypse in her previous life made her almost unable to trust strangers anymore.
"I haven't thought about the specifics yet. Let them stay with Uncle Yun and the others for now! We'll discuss the arrangements later!" Although Ye Ning didn't say it, Xiao Jingchen understood her thoughts.
Just then, Ye Ning's satellite phone rang, and Gao Feng called at the opportune moment.
"Hey! Uncle Gao, is there something you need when you call me?"
"Miss, how did you know?" Gao Feng asked in shock. Did the young lady already know about what was going on here?
"I guessed! Uncle Gao, what's going on over there? Tell me!" Gao Feng is a cautious person, and he definitely wouldn't call her unless there was something going on.
Next, Gao Feng described the situation on their side to Ye Ning in detail.
"So, a group of people looting supplies has appeared near your area," Ye Ning asked.
“It’s not just one group, it’s several groups, because they often fight each other. Moreover, this group commits all sorts of atrocities, including arson, murder, and looting. Many nearby residents and warehouses have already suffered,” Gao Feng reported with great concern.
"So, nothing has been discovered on your side yet?"
"Not yet, thanks to Ali for keeping calm, otherwise we would have been discovered long ago! There are many warehouses here, they shouldn't be able to find this place in a day or two, but that's not necessarily true." Gao Feng glanced gratefully at Sister Li beside him.
"Have you learned how to use the crossbows I put in the box before?" Ye Ning had anticipated that someone might try to steal the supplies, so she left some weapons for Gao Feng and the others.
"I can do it, but my aim isn't very good!" Gao Feng replied awkwardly.
Ye Ning pondered for a moment, "Uncle Gao, you should be on guard for the next two days. If there is any emergency, call me immediately."
There shouldn't be any danger on Gaofeng's side for the next day or two, but things might change if it goes on for longer.
It seems they'll have to make a trip to Gaofeng's area.
"Jingchen, what do you think about this?" Ye Ning hung up the phone and looked at Xiao Jingchen.
"Try to make a trip there in the next couple of days! Since Sister Li and her team have already started collecting supplies, it's only a matter of time before they find them."
Seeing Ye Ning lost in thought and silent, Xiao Jingchen flicked her nose.
"What kind of mischievous idea is going on in that little head of yours now!"
"Ugh!" Ye Ning said coquettishly, pushing away Xiao Jingchen's hand. "I was thinking, since they can loot supplies, so can we. Why should we let them loot all the supplies? There's no such thing as too little supplies."
Moreover, those people would become their potential enemies, so she wouldn't let the supplies fall into their hands!
“You’re right!” Xiao Jingchen nodded in agreement.
“Moreover…” Ye Ning had a flash of inspiration, “We can have the group of people from the Xiao family stay here at the warehouse. This way, they can both protect the supplies and have a place to stay.”
"Moreover, the warehouse isn't far from our shelter, which is killing three birds with one stone." Ye Ning was somewhat impressed with her own cleverness.
Those people actually tried to steal her supplies, so let them know what it means to steal from her in return.
"By the way, where are the people sent by the Xiao family now, and when will they be here?" Ye Ning is currently short-handed, so they can help out once they arrive.
"They are currently in the south of the city, there are six of them in total, it should take them about two days to get here."
Communication is currently interrupted, and Xiao Jingchen has not yet received detailed information about the group. He only knows that there are six people, including a couple who are doctors.
The other four people were all from the Xiao family and were responsible for carrying out the mission; each of them had their own strengths.
"I'll call Uncle Yun and tell them to head over here right now!" Xiao Jingchen dialed Uncle Yun's number and gave him the exact address of the warehouse.
"Uncle Yun and the others said they'll arrive in about three days." Xiao Jingchen hung up the phone.
After discussing for a while, the two came up with a plan. This time, Xiao Jingchen planned to go alone with Ye Ning, while Brother Long Fei would stay at the shelter. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous to leave Wang Ma and the others here. If someone were to invade, they would not be able to fight back much.
As for transportation, we'll continue using snowmobiles. The sled dogs we bought before are still too small to pull the sleds.
However, this time it was basically an open strategy, so we didn't have to set off after dark like last time.
Ye Ning didn't expect that she would have to leave again so soon after returning from her zero-yuan purchase. It seems that she won't be able to have any peace and quiet for the next few days.
