Chapter 344: Angry?
When Captain Sang galloped back to the base, the moon in the sky was big and round, and there was silence all around.
"Stop! Who is it?!"
The soldier on guard in the watchtower shouted at them to stop and shone his flashlight on them from head to toe.
"Show me your ID card."
The soldiers illuminated the cards in their hands, confirmed them again and again, and ordered the door to be opened.
A patrol team and a doctor in a white coat walked out from behind the door.
"get off."
Sang Zhengyi and his group jumped out of the car one after another, opened their hands to indicate that there was nothing.
The patrol team still searched everyone carefully, and after confirming that they were safe, the doctor walking at the back took out test strips from the medicine box and distributed them.
Sang Zhengyi and his team are already very familiar with this process. They go through it every time they go out and come back to prevent infected people from sneaking into the base.
Although the test strips are not 100% accurate, they are better than nothing.
About ten seconds later, the doctor came over to check.
"No problem, no infection."
"Go inside. Come back earlier next time. You won't be allowed on the base if you've already passed curfew."
The captain of the soldiers waved his hand and told them to leave quickly.
Sang Zhengyi smiled and said, "I see. Thank you for your hard work. These are freshly picked walnuts today. They haven't had time to remove the poison yet. Take them and have them as a snack later."
The captain looked into his open pocket and laughed too.
"Captain Sang, we've harvested a lot today! Hurry up and pack it up and go inside. It's not safe after dark. We have a rule that we can't take a single grain of rice or a single thread from you. Let's go."
Sang Zhengyi didn't force it, but simply added, "Has General Chu rested yet? We discovered a park with abundant resources today. The fruit trees there are not aggressive towards those who pick their fruit. We'd better hurry and pick some."
Lin, who was hiding in the shadows behind him, was stunned.
The captain of the soldiers laughed even more heartily, "Then hurry in, General Chu should still be reviewing the documents."
Who doesn’t want more and more food in the granary?
Sang Zhengyi uttered two "ohs" and told his teammates to get in the car and prepare to enter the base.
The patrol team followed the car, looked around vigilantly, and then closed the door again.
Every household in the base had its doors and windows closed, there was no light at all, and everyone was sleeping soundly.
Only two places were still lit: one was Chu Wanfu's office, which was shining with a milky white light.
The second is in the lobby of the resort hotel in the center, which is still lit with warm goose yellow light.
They could also see Manager Zhicang and Store Manager Xiongxiong lying on rocking chairs, looking up at the bright moon.
The wheels of the car rolled over the concrete floor, making quite a noise.
Zhigang and Xiongxiong raised their heads at the same time, sat up simultaneously, and stood up to direct them to reverse into the garage.
The car belongs to Boss Xia and he has to return it every day.
After the car stopped, everyone jumped out and moved the supplies.
There were dozens of green sacks in the truck bed. Qi Hua bent down and another person helped move them to his back. He held them tightly with his left hand and pushed hard with his right hand, and then he stood up straight.
He shook the sack upwards to make it more comfortable to carry.
The fruits in the bag rubbed against each other, making a crackling sound, and the juice that seeped out from the bottom after the skin was squeezed out fell to the ground with a plop.
"Captain, where should I put it?"
Sang Zhengyi: "Move directly to Lidai Island. Everyone, please work hard tonight and try to finish the decontamination overnight. Leave a few people to finish it tomorrow."
Everyone became more motivated when they thought that they could pick fruits freely in the park without any danger.
Didn’t you hear Captain Sang say just now that he would go to General Chu to report about the park?
Everyone knew that Lin had joined the team and had harvested so much supplies today. In this almost transparent base, such a big thing could not be hidden. It would be better to report it proactively and get a good deal from General Chu...
Everyone who works has to carry the sacks, regardless of gender or age, as long as they still have the strength.
If they couldn't lift the heavy things, they would lift the light ones. If that didn't work, they would help support the bottom from behind and take some of the weight. No one was trying to cheat or slack off.
At this time, Qi Hua's parents and other parents came hurriedly across the hall. Seeing their children rushing to move things, they glanced at their faces. After making sure that they were not injured, they rolled up their sleeves and started carrying the sacks.
Although they would not be given any supplies, they could not bear to see food wasted. In the past, in the countryside, if a family was drying their grain and it rained and they did not have time to harvest it, almost the entire village would go over to help.
Are you hoping that the owner will give you some food later?
No, I just can't bear to see half a year's hard work go to waste and the food be wasted.
Only those who have been hungry know how important food is.
Zhigang pushed the cart over and said, "Take it and use it."
Qi Hua was shocked: "That, that's not good..."
Zhigang: "It's okay. You can carry it as long as you want. Pushing the cart is faster and saves energy. You still have to leave early tomorrow, right?"
Qi Hua: "Yes, that's right."
Zhigang thrust the cart into his hands without allowing him to refuse. "Don't be afraid to use the things. Finish the work quickly and rest soon."
Qi Hua took out a cloth bag and put a handful of walnuts, chestnuts and other fruits into it. He handed them to Zhigang without allowing him to refuse, and said only four words:
“It’s a give and take.”
Lin wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at the towering hotel in front of her. She felt very anxious, but she knew that Boss Xia was resting at this moment.
She kept thinking about that sentence on the way back, becoming more and more certain that her daughter had been found.
Is she still sulking?
Are you still angry because you weren't allowed to leave to find her father?
Lin thought about it and there were only two possibilities for her daughter not wanting to see her:
1. The man changed his ways and treated his daughter sincerely, so his daughter was angry and didn't want to come back.
2. ...something terrible happened, and she was afraid to come back...
Even though the first possibility was so small that it almost didn't exist, Lin prayed sincerely that it must be the first one!
She can treat how that man treated her as a thing of the past and not care about it at all, as long as he is good to her daughter!
Lying on the bed, Lin looked at the dark ceiling, pulled out the man locked in the deepest part of her mind, and looked carefully at the face that once made her feel nauseous and vomit. She carefully looked from the hair to the chin, trying to piece together what her daughter looked like now.
If he didn't have that fierce expression, he would look quite kind.
His eyebrows are thick and pointed upwards. His daughter inherited his thick eyebrows and his own willow-shaped eyebrows, which makes her look particularly gentle and lovely.
Looking closely, there is also a bit of beautiful purple, which is a very pure color and also my daughter's favorite color. When my daughter comes back, she will find Boss Xia and buy all the beautiful purples.
As long as her daughter likes it, she will buy anything!
Lin suddenly turned over and sat up, picked up her clothes and shook them down, only throwing out one or two crystal cores.
She looked annoyed.
There are too few crystal cores, she has to work hard to earn them, she can't let her precious daughter suffer...
