Chapter 46: Supplies, here I come
Gu Qingyue took a breath and asked, "Is there no one left in this village?"
"It's possible." Lin Yimu had a very good mentality and replied with a word at this time.
The two trucks in front had already driven away for a while, and hundreds of zombies suddenly rushed towards the van, pulling at the windows with their black nails and broken faces, and bumping into the windows from time to time. Seeing cracks appear on the window of the van, Gu Qingji's face became even uglier than when he saw Gu Qingyue almost being pecked.
By now he had realized that he was the one who cut the chicken's neck and attracted the zombies, and he immediately felt extremely guilty. Gu Qingyue patted his hand to comfort him, while looking around for an opportunity to break out.
There were too many zombies gathered in one place, and even with the small green branches, they could not make way. Lu Weiyi's ability was not at the level needed to launch a divergent attack. Gu Qingyue and Gu Qingji were already holding their weapons, staring at the window that might break first. The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.
Lu Weiyi glanced at a few windows, then aimed his sight at the driver's seat where there were relatively fewer zombies. He handed over a big rooster in his hand and said, "Brother Damu, throw it out."
Lin Yimu glanced in the rearview mirror and immediately understood what he meant. He pinched the rooster's neck with one hand, and the moment the driver's window opened, he tore the rooster's neck and threw it out, while quickly closing the window.
The rooster flapped its wings and flew around, blood splattering everywhere, instantly attracting the attention of some zombies. Lin Yimu's pressure suddenly dropped, and he looked for an opportunity to break out. Lu Weiyi in the back seat threw out the second rooster.
After leading away some zombies, the car finally rushed out. In an instant, everyone in the car breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
When they parked the car again, they had arrived at the express delivery transfer station. Li Zhuang and Antonio immediately cleared the zombies around them and blocked the door after they came in.
"Are you okay?" Li Zhuang glanced at the broken car window and looked at a few people.
Lin Yimu shook his head.
"I tried to control the flying knife to go over there, but the distance was too far. If I turned, it would directly block the road." Antonio explained to Lu Weiyi why he did not go to save people.
"Yeah, I know." Apart from his own supernatural powers, Lu Weiyi was most familiar with the metal-related supernatural powers. Naturally, he knew that it was already good enough for a flying knife of his level to circle around him for several meters.
"Thanks to Weiyi's cleverness in using the rooster to attract some of the zombies, we were able to escape." Gu Qingyue once again expressed his gratitude to Lu Weiyi, and at the same time said to everyone, "I'm so sorry..."
"I'm sorry," Gu Qingji, who had been silent all the way, bowed to several people, "It's my fault, I have implicated everyone."
"It's okay, just be more careful next time." It wasn't intentional, and it was already out, so there was no need to hold on to it. Lin Yimu patted his shoulder.
"Young Master..." Now that they were safe for the time being, Li Zhuang began to tease Lu Weiyi. However, Lu Weiyi was smart. Before he could say anything, he took a few quick steps and turned to Antonio to open the warehouse door with him.
Li Zhuang smiled as he watched his hurried figure pass by.
Lin Yimu's eyes inadvertently moved between the two of them, as if thinking about something.
The express delivery transfer station in the small urban area is not very big. The warehouse of several hundred square meters is filled with boxes of various sizes piled three people high, neatly arranged according to the cities they are destined for.
"If there was a girl here, she would be so happy." Gu Qingyue was a little worried about so many boxes.
"Why are girls going crazy?" Antonio didn't have a thorough understanding of some Chinese culture. It felt like he would be living here for a long time, so he kept asking questions about things he didn't understand.
"Because I like shopping," Li Zhuang replied, taking out two boxes of food from the van. "It's time to eat. It's better to work after eating."
"Hey, Dean brought us some self-heating rice and two boxes of canned fish."
"He wants me to eat better." Antonio has always been frank about his lover. After feeding a group of people a mouthful of dog food, he picked a box of curry beef first, "This is my favorite flavor."
"It can be seen that Dean cares about you very much," Gu Qingyue said, while Gu Qingji next to him took the rice for both of them and made the self-heating buns.
"Yes, we love each other very much." Antonio was obviously very happy that others affirmed his relationship with Dean, and he was in a good mood to say a few more words.
But Lu Weiyi almost vomited after hearing that. He didn't spend much time with Antonio before. Most of the time, he was on various missions with Zhuang Mingxu and the others, while Lu Weiyi and Dean had nothing to do at the base. Even though he knew that he was a "wife-doting maniac" once or twice, he never expected him to be so serious. It was obvious that he just kept saying all kinds of flattery, which was seriously inconsistent with his big guy.
"Don't be so self-indulgent. There are only six boxes of self-heating rice. There is no choice at all." Lu Weiyi ruthlessly exposed his self-admiration.
Antonio, who was thinking about describing in detail his relationship with Dean, was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect someone to be so direct.
"Puchi" Li Zhuang was the first to laugh, followed by Gu Qingji who also curled up the corners of his mouth. Gu Qingyue politely held back. Lin Yimu was just surprised that his young master would choke, and didn't pay attention to anything else at all.
Antonio was silent for a moment, then tried to save his dignity, "We love each other very much, you can't deny that."
Lu Weiyi really had nothing to say about this. It was rare for someone to be able to take someone away after the person was bitten by a zombie and had no idea what the future would hold. He was also worthy of Antonio's protection through life and death. Lu Weiyi pursed his lips and said nothing.
Li Zhuang was very happy to see Lu Weiyi being humiliated. He opened the can and asked Lu Weiyi to take a piece first. He said, "Don't be envious, little friend. We can be close to canned fish..."
The fish that had already been picked up by the chopsticks was pushed back into the box by Lu Weiyi, who said a little angrily, "I'm not envious."
"Okay, okay, I'm not envious. Brother, I was wrong. Eat quickly." Li Zhuang picked up the fish piece and gave it back to him.
"I just didn't have it," Lu Weiyi said righteously.
"Yes, yes, you didn't. It's me who's so jealous and envious."
This obviously perfunctory and coaxing tone made Lu Weiyi feel very uncomfortable. If he continued to be stubborn, it would make his intentions even more obvious. If he didn't continue, it would seem like he was admitting defeat. He paused for a moment, not knowing how to react. It was all Li Zhuang's fault. Lu Weiyi took a mouthful of rice viciously and chewed it mouthful by mouthful as if he wanted to bite him off.
Lin Yimu glanced at Lu Weiyi and breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since he didn't see Zhuang Mingxu last night, Lu Weiyi's mood has been affected to a certain extent. Even if he pretended to be nothing, he was still a child after all. After being teased by Li Zhuang, he should forget it for the time being.
A few people took a break during the meal time, and then started to open the parcels in pairs.
The messy things are scattered and involve all aspects of life. This is useful and that cannot be missing. Seeing that it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon and there were still several layers of things in the warehouse, they decided to just move them back and pick them out slowly.
The unpacked boxes were piled up in a circle around the truck, directly exceeding the height of the carriage. Several people secured them with sheets and ropes, and the remaining unpacked boxes were piled in the middle. In this way, there was still space left after loading two trucks, so they went to the vegetable market as planned.
People have been to both vegetable markets and have taken away almost all the edible fast food. What's left are some things that cannot be eaten directly, such as potatoes, radishes, rice, flour, grains, and oils.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, water and electricity were completely cut off, and most people did not have a strong sense of crisis. They simply gave up on many things that needed to be cooked. When fast food in the city became hard to find and they even wanted to stuff grass into their mouths, they would regret giving up now.
There was space in the carriage, so they didn't pick and choose. They put everything edible into the car. Gu Qingyue even encouraged them to pick out a few edible vegetables from the rotten ones, saying that they could cook some dishes when they got home in the evening.
After such a delay, it was already dark. When they got home, Dean and Little Green Hair had already thoughtfully prepared dinner - a pot of instant noodles.
They ate a few bites and it was almost ten o'clock when they finished moving the things. Gu Qingyue lay down on the sofa in Lu Weiyi's house and fell asleep. Gu Qingji borrowed a guest room and carried him in, but he didn't wake up.
Lu Weiyi was also very tired. His body was very delicate before the end of the world. After such an intense day, he could hardly open his eyes. Lin Yimu also asked him to go back to his room to rest.
The remaining few people were in good spirits and started to open the express packages under the light. As the only person who had taken care of the child "Lu Weiyi", Lin Yimu was quite good at cooking some of Lu Weiyi's favorite dishes, so the task of stewing the chicken was given to him.
"Chicken stewed with mushrooms." Antonio took a handful of mushrooms specially picked out at the vegetable market, reiterated his request, turned back and sat next to Dean, hugged him and kissed him, "Make something you like."
"Yeah," Dean nodded happily, tilting his head back and poking him on the mouth.
Lin Yimu turned his head speechlessly and looked at Li Zhuang and Gu Qingji.
Li Zhuang waved his hand and said, "I'm not picky, just give me more."
"If possible, could you trouble Brother Lin to make some soup for me?" Gu Qingji felt a little embarrassed, but Gu Qingyue also needed some nourishment.
"Okay," Lin Yimu said as he poured a pot of hot water on the chicken he brought back and began to pluck the feathers. "The blood will melt into the meat, and the taste will definitely be worse."
"It's not that particular. It's good enough as long as it's edible," Li Zhuang said, holding a cigarette in his mouth. "It's already past midnight after two big dishes. Let's just have lunch tomorrow before going out."
"Okay." Antonio remembered Dean's worried eyes when he came back late today, and felt that he should accompany him.
"Well, Brother Li, it's better for you to leave someone at home when you go out," said the little green-haired boy who had stayed behind to move things after dinner.
Li Zhuang knew it was interesting when he heard this, "What did you hear?"
"Don't I usually stand guard at the gate with them? Today when Brother Lu left, he asked me to ask if there is anyone selling jade ornaments in the community. I went out for a while at noon, and I heard them say that someone seemed to be jealous of your harvest and reported it to the boss, wanting you to pay some of it." He said to Fang Ke, the person in charge of the boss's base, "If you all go out during the day and someone really comes to the door, Dean will not be able to guard the house because he can't even understand what they say."
"Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant." Li Zhuang sneered.
Lin Yimu thought that they were leaving soon, and there was no need to make things too awkward in the last few days. After thinking about it, he said, "Why don't we take turns staying at home."
"No need, I'll go talk to him," Li Zhuangyang said casually, lying on the sofa.
Can just talking about it make people give up their desire for supplies? What does this have to do with anything?
Lin Yimu looked at Antonio who was standing aside. The man was whispering to Dean, looking as if he didn't care. Gu Qingji was busy looking through the sizes of the newly unpacked clothes and didn't know if he heard what they were saying. As for the little green-haired guy in the corner, people automatically turned silent and pretended to be invisible.
Lin Yimu thought about it and didn't ask any more questions. He went back to the kitchen and continued stewing the chicken.
