Xu Bai waited until they had finished dinner before getting out of the car.
Their dinner consisted of meat buns, roasted sweet potatoes, and corn soup.
Such a dinner would have been commonplace before the end of the world, and many people wouldn't even eat it like this. But times have changed, and such a quantity is a feast for the people present, and they looked at it with envy.
I started to wonder if the rumors I heard recently were true?
Some people have secretly decided to go to Dawn City as soon as they return safely. No matter whether the rumors are true or not, they want to go just for what they are eating!
"I wonder if I'm dying, so I just had a quick meal?"
Someone in the crowd uttered harsh words.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked towards the person who spoke. The person who spoke was a girl in her twenties. She looked at Shi Qinghe and his group with red eyes, her hands on her waist and slightly bent.
It can be seen that she had been enduring hunger for a long time and finally couldn't bear it anymore.
The people present were all quite old and knew how to read people's expressions. Besides, if they had food to eat, they could eat it if they wanted to. It wouldn't bother them. If they couldn't stand the fragrance, they could just run away and not smell it. Why would they have any complaints about the mercenaries of Dawn City?
If they offended them, and they wanted to go to Dawn City later, this group of people would stop them at the base gate and not let them in, or tell other people in the base that they had offended these people. By then, everyone in the base would be united, and they would have a hard time if they went in. It would not be worth it.
After weighing the pros and cons, everyone murmured a few words.
"You are young and ignorant, what are you saying?"
"It's obvious that the people of Dawn City have a good life. Unlike us, our clothes are dirty and our hair is greasy. This meal might be no different from any other. You little girl only knows how to make sarcastic remarks."
"I heard that Dawn City has plenty of food and we can even buy from them. What do you mean by a full meal? They eat their fill every day."
“…”
Mingliang was lost in thought as he contemplated how many crystal cores he had at home and how much food they could be exchanged for. He was brought back to his senses by the chirping sounds. It took him a while to realize what was happening.
The girl who was speaking was from his team, her name was Huang Qi Qiu. Because she had healing abilities, she was acting as their team doctor on this mission. The girl was young and still in college, and with her awakened healing abilities, she could heal wounds instantly. She was well-loved in the base, and others were afraid of offending the healing abilities, fearing that if they got injured one day they wouldn't get treatment. Her personality was also praised as being more arrogant and spoiled, and she spoke without thinking. After all, she didn't need to consider other people's thoughts, and everyone was usually humble to her.
This tolerance will lead to illness.
Normally everyone would tolerate it in the base, but who would care who she is outside?
Mingliang didn't want to offend Shi Qinghe, so he immediately frowned and scolded Huang Qiqiu. However, Huang Qiqiu, who had always been flattered, would not listen. She stomped her feet with a red face and shouted.
"What did I say wrong? Everyone's starving here watching them eat, and they have the nerve to eat it? And they even put it out there to show off in front of us?"
"With such a big commotion, what if it attracts zombies?"
"Then aren't all our lives lost here?"
The more Huang Qiqiu spoke, the straighter his back became. "If you ask me, their food should be distributed to everyone. This is a mental subsidy for everyone who is risking their lives."
Every time she finished a sentence, Shi Qinghe felt that the food in her mouth tasted better and her mouth moved faster.
disregard.
When Huang Qiqiu realized she was being a clown, she looked around helplessly. Seeing that those who usually had a good relationship with her and pursued her had all turned their eyes away, avoiding her gaze, she was filled with anger and said harshly, "Don't look for me if you get hurt. It's best if nothing happens."
"You guys are so protective of others, have they given you anything to eat? This is hilarious."
Obviously, as long as there are a lot of people protecting her and arguing with them, they will be strong and someone will have to give in. Then not only can she get things now, but she can also share more things after collecting the materials.
Huang Qiqiu was testing him, but more out of jealousy.
They are girls of similar age, so why can that girl sit there with clean clothes and a clean face, waiting for others to bring her food and drinks?
Apart from her face, she couldn't see anything powerful about that person. Her face was a little pale, and she might need someone to protect her.
Huang Qiqiu sat in the car, hungry and sulking, her supernatural powers constantly brewing in her palms. Seeing the milky white supernatural power constantly swirling around in her palms to form a larger vortex, she felt a lot more at ease, and kept convincing herself in her heart that she was the most powerful girl and could heal people.
Huang Qiqiu didn't notice a peach petal floating in from the window.
After eating and drinking, Shi Qinghe showed everyone that Shuguang City had a water-based ability that provided free drinking water every day, and even used it to wash dishes and other operations.
Mingliang's mother-in-law is also a water element, but she can only release some water every day, enough for the three of them to eat and drink, and they can save some to take a bath. She is afraid that others will know that there is a person with water ability in his family, and the base will ask her mother-in-law to work, and eventually even the food, drink and water supply of her own family will be questioned. So Mingliang never takes a bath, and only wipes his body at most.
It was the first time for them to see so many water-type mutants, and Mingliang and others who were about to come forward to persuade them were stunned.
The words on the tip of my tongue were immediately changed to: "That's a little girl, spoiled by everyone, please don't mind, we apologize on her behalf."
"Yes, we apologize on her behalf."
Shi Qinghe withdrew her supernatural power and looked at Mingliang with a half-smile: "Our captain is only eighteen years old, so he is about twenty, right? Still young?"
Following Shi Qinghe's gaze, everyone saw Xu Bai getting up and returning to the car.
"Is that your captain? I thought the guy over there was your captain." Mingliang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and pointed carefully to Ji Heng's position. So, the girl who looked very strong was just a team member, so how strong did that girl have to be to be the captain of this group?
In the existing base, everyone’s captain is the person with the strongest ability, which is why most of the captains in many teams are men.
It's not discrimination against women, but men have more advantages in physical strength.
At the end of the story, Mingliang, who was usually talkative, could not continue under Shi Qinghe's teasing gaze and could only leave in shame. He said that he had not led the team well and promised Shi Qinghe to help reinforce one or two more cars.
Late at night.
A scream came from Mingliang's team's bus.
