Wei Ge didn't plan to stay in the mountains forever; he also planned to join the guard team and return to a normal life.
However, Ji Kangyong's departure is an unstable factor.
He was afraid that he would find out his secret, and that he would tell the guards, thus ruining his future.
He was even more afraid that he would be held criminally liable.
After all, the normal person's thought would be to find a security team to settle down nearby. Therefore, it was inevitable that he would run into Ji Kangyong again.
Wei Ge looked at Lao Baihua with a sinister gaze, as if he were accusing her of providing false information.
Old Baihua was startled and quickly tried to cover it up: "Well, Brother Wei, I didn't know he would leave early. Could that young man have offended someone?"
Wei Ge's lips curled into a wicked smile. He hadn't initially thought of it that way, assuming it was just a coincidence. But now he felt that the man was guilty. He was afraid of retaliation, afraid of being stopped, which was why he'd slipped away before anyone could react.
Thinking about this, Wei Ge felt even worse. Looking at the two white flowers, he decided to have one last celebration before fleeing for his life.
Old Baihua had a bad feeling. She shrank back and retreated, but was stopped by Brother Wei's henchmen.
Not long after, two sharp female voices rang out. What followed was even more laughter, anger, and curses from the crowd.
Old Baihua was filled with regret; she should have left with Ji Kangyong. Little Baihua, on the other hand, was completely bewildered.
She never expected Wei Ge to treat her like this. There were so many people there, why!
Isn't she the person Wei Ge loves most? Didn't he promise to marry her? Didn't he say he would take her with him to the guard unit?
She...shed tears of despair.
Little White Flower never expected that Brother Wei was taking his anger out on her. She was just an insignificant person, not worth mentioning in Brother Wei's eyes.
The two white flowers didn't fare well, but Brother Wei and his underlings didn't fare much better.
Sometime in the future, their cannibalism will be discovered, and they will be beaten to death with sticks and their bodies left to rot in the wilderness.
In this world, there is a way of Heaven; those who do bad things will always be punished.
----------
In the following days, Shen Yanming tried hard to find a way out in the mountains, while Ji Kangyong also kept getting closer to Bi Qiaoan.
He never expected that the journey, which he thought would take two or three days, would be so difficult.
The road was not only muddy, but also had broken bridges, valleys, and collapses. He and Li Sikai took several detours before finally arriving at Bi Qiaoan's place.
During this time, Bi Qiaoan was also trying her best to subsidize everyone. She found a small supermarket in the ruins and reached inside to stock up on supplies. None of the items had manufacturer information or production dates, making it less likely for her to be discovered.
There was no other way; there were too few supplies and not enough food. She couldn't just stand by and watch people starve to death.
She's too soft-hearted; that's no good.
Bi Qiaoan did not tell anyone the news. She walked away expressionlessly and went to search in other places.
Everyone was disappointed that day because they hadn't found anything. Everyone clutched their empty stomachs, too hungry to sleep.
The turning point came the following afternoon when Huo Zhongli excitedly ran over to tell her, "Sister, we found a supermarket with lots of supplies! There's vacuum-packed rice, packaged pickles, and canned goods. There's also some oil, salt, and seasonings, but not much."
It's a pity the flour and other poorly packaged items are inedible. But it's already quite good; the supplies there are at least enough for us to live on for a week.
Bi Qiaoan nodded: "Congratulations!"
Hearing her say that, Huo Zhongli glared at her and said fiercely, "Why are you being so formal? We found it, so you found it too, right? We've been through thick and thin together, so naturally we should share the good times."
Bi Qiaoan shook her head and chuckled, ruffling Huo Zhongli's hair: "That's what you think, but they might not. Listen to your sister, don't get into conflicts with everyone. Let the people you find divide things however you want. Don't cause trouble!"
Huo Zhongli pouted unhappily: "But we're one."
"People are selfish. Resources are scarce here, and everyone has their own agenda. I just hope that you can all survive."
Although they had made mistakes, they weren't truly wicked, and could be given a chance to correct them. So, during one of her cooking sessions, Bi Qiaoan secretly slipped the antidote into their hands.
Those with baldness and boils mysteriously recovered. They all knelt down to thank God, leaving Bi Qiaoan both amused and exasperated.
Huo Zhongli went back and asked the others, and sure enough, not everyone agreed to an equal distribution. After all, contributions varied, and some people hadn't even participated. Those who hadn't contributed disagreed with sharing the supplies. After all, survival was the most important thing right now.
But those who were starving couldn't stand it anymore, their eyes gleaming with predatory intent as they looked at the canned food, as if they were about to rush forward and snatch it at any moment.
Seeing this, Bi Qiaoan whispered a few words to Huo Zhongli. Tell them to stop now, don't push them to the brink.
Huo Zhongli was quick-witted. After discussing it with everyone, they decided that the few who found the supplies would get the lion's share, one-third, and the rest would be divided equally among everyone.
Although many people are still unwilling, the other party has already given out so many supplies, and it would be a bit excessive to distribute them further.
Bi Qiaoan was quite satisfied with this division. It's okay for people to have wealth disparities, but the key is to ensure everyone can survive.
Everyone happily munched on the canned food, commenting, "What brand is this? It tastes pretty good!"
"Look at it, there's nothing on it. Could it be a counterfeit or substandard product?"
"So what if it's unregistered or has no production date? It's still edible. Besides, it's so delicious."
"This doesn't look like something produced after the apocalypse at all; it's way too heavy. Do you think it might be a product from before the apocalypse?"
"Who knows? Canned human food can be preserved for several years. I've heard that some military-grade food can be preserved for decades and is still edible."
"Are you kidding me? It's been decades, how could it not be broken?"
"Who's kidding you? Before the disaster, I loved watching documentaries. Many things had incredibly long shelf lives. Honey, for example, is said to be able to be preserved indefinitely. One country even unearthed a jar of honey from 5,000 years ago, and it hadn't expired."
Like rice, the longest storage time at low temperatures is thirty years. Human ingenuity is beyond your imagination.
"So, if we go to the guard post, there should be food there, right?"
"I think we should. Doesn't Qinghua always stockpile supplies?"
"That's good. I really never want to live this kind of precarious life again."
"Well, I don't want to either. I've calculated that our supplies should last for ten to fifteen days. Let's set off for the local guard in two days. With the guard's protection, we'll have no worries about life."
As Bi Qiaoan listened to them express their aspirations for the future, she smiled knowingly and happily munched on a can of food while holding An'an in her arms.
They're all sourced directly from the store, so the quality is guaranteed.
