Chapter 462 Keep it a secret
“The apocalypse we experienced did not result in large-scale deaths, but that does not mean the apocalypse is friendly.
On the contrary, it was brutal.
Unconsciously, species screening was carried out, leaving only those organisms that were sufficiently alert and able to adjust themselves in time according to environmental changes.
This is even more true for humans." Shen Yanming said in his calm, almost cold voice.
Bi Qiaoan fell silent after hearing this.
She knew that the seemingly stable life now was actually full of murderous intent. This murderous intent came not only from nature, but also from humans themselves. It was just that the time had not come yet for it to explode.
The two did not continue talking about this issue, but quickened their pace, walked to the parking lot and drove the car.
Finally, they were covered up, and they both felt much better. The steaming car compartment didn't seem so unbearable anymore.
On the way, Shen Yanming deliberately took a long detour and stopped in a place in the suburbs where there was no obstruction and no cameras around.
Then he bent down and leaned back from the middle of the front seat, and placed two boxes of watermelons and peaches on the back seat.
This is specially prepared for Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong. The two guys are so busy at work that they don't have time to mess around with fruits.
What's more, not everyone can eat them.
After putting everything away, Shen Yanming thought about it, put out some more ingredients, and prepared to go back and prepare a meal for his buddy.
There was no choice, so he and Qiao An went to Su City for a month, and after coming back, they stayed in the guard team.
In normal life, it is difficult for them to take care of their two buddies, so this time when they go back, of course they have to do their best.
Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens, as long as the weekend morning training is not cancelled, they will most likely live in the Guard. Since Shen Yanming still has to work, Bi Qiaoan will also stay there after giving birth and recuperating.
So, if we miss this opportunity, we can’t say when we will get together next time.
Shen Yanming looked at the three boxes on the back seat with satisfaction, then called his two buddies.
After learning that they were all at home, he smiled and said, "Qiao An and I will be back in about half an hour. I'll call you then and ask you to pick me up downstairs. There will be gifts."
By the way, give Zhao Zhao a call, we haven’t been together for a long time.”
"Okay, we'll wait for you. Drive slowly on the road. Don't be in a hurry."
Shen Yanming hummed and hung up the phone.
Bi Qiaoan glanced at the extra things on the back seat and asked, "What gifts did you prepare?"
Because she was notified to return to Qingyu Community at the last minute, she had no idea what her husband Shen was planning from morning till now.
Shen Yanming smiled, "Two boxes contain watermelons and peaches, and the remaining one contains some vegetables and pickled meat. We haven't been there for a long time, so their living standards must have dropped a lot."
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "Well, I can imagine. But have you thought of an excuse?"
"Just say that we exchanged it with someone in the escort team. Anyway, we have a grain field test field here, and individuals are allowed to do so. They won't come to ask whether we have exchanged it or not."
Shen Yanming smiled and touched Bi Qiaoan's head, "Don't worry, we are not talkative people."
Bi Qiaoan certainly knew this. They had been together for several years, and the two of them would often slip some unusual food through their fingers, but no one had ever gotten to the bottom of it.
Occasionally, he would ask a few questions, but they were just slips of the tongue and he was not trying to find the answer at all.
I don't know if they are playing dumb or if they really don't care. But no matter what, this way of getting along makes everyone feel comfortable.
Bi Qiaoan laughed and teased, "Oh my, 80% of their supplies are still in our hands, how dare they talk nonsense."
Shen Yanming also smiled and shook his head. To be honest, if no one mentioned it, he would really forget about it.
It was because his friends never mentioned that batch of supplies again after they confirmed its safety with him.
What a fool they are! Aren’t they afraid that the food they store will expire?
But this is also good, it shows that everyone is down-to-earth and hardworking, and adapts well to the changes in the planet. By planting fields and raising livestock, they can still keep up with the pace of most people.
The two of them returned to Qingyu Community, talking and laughing.
At the access control station, Shen Yanming was stopped by Chen Shunwei again. Maybe this is fate, he always runs into him when he is on duty.
This time, the two didn't have a long chat. They just said hello and parted ways after learning that everything was normal in the community.
Of course, before leaving, Shen Yanming took a small watermelon from the back seat and gave it to him. He was so surprised that he hid it in the closet as if it were a treasure and quickly locked it.
Then he smiled innocently, "Well, I haven't seen this thing for two years. I was a little excited and lost my composure. Hey, hey, thank you."
Shen Yanming smiled and shook his head, making a gesture to keep quiet, "Keep it a secret!"
"Yeah, yeah, I know!" Chen Shunwei nodded hurriedly, then waved goodbye to the couple.
In the past few years, he has gained a lot of benefits from the two of them, and the words "keeping silent" have been deeply ingrained in his bones.
That's how it is. If you are obedient, people will treat you as their own and help you out. But if you don't know what's good for you and casually tell others' secrets, then you are an ungrateful person.
What's more, he could see that the couple were capable and low-key. As long as he didn't touch their sore spots, he could still get a lot of benefits by following them.
Shen Yanming left the security room and got back in the car. A few minutes later, he and Qiao An drove into the underground parking lot.
It was very different from the outside. Even without turning on the lights, the sunlight coming through the skylight made the parking lot very bright. Also, since most places were not directly exposed to the sun, the temperature was particularly cool.
Logically speaking, such a place with little direct sunlight should be somewhat dark and damp, but Bi Qiaoan didn't feel it at all after getting off the car. She guessed that it was probably because this summer was too hot, and the hot air dried up the moisture.
Perhaps it is this unique environment that makes the underground garage a popular place to cool off. They gather in groups of three or four, chatting or playing cards.
Shen Yanming was not in a hurry to go upstairs. He called Zhang Heping, but before the call was connected, he saw two people walking out of the elevator.
He waved and the two of them walked over with a smile.
After a few pleasantries, Chen Yanming opened the rear door and asked the two to carry the boxes down.
Zhang Heping took a look and saw a large cardboard box next to the car door. He didn't think it was heavy, so he bent down to move it without any preparation.
As a result, he realized that he was totally wrong. He was a grown man, but he couldn't even move it at all.
"Old Shen, what's in your box?" Zhang Heping wondered and prepared to open the box.
Shen Yanming hurriedly stopped him, “Nothing, just some books, quite substantial.”
