Chapter 408 No Need
"Wait."
He squatted down, his loose clothes hiding his movements.
When he stood up again, a hole more than one meter deep appeared where he had just been.
"Put your things down, but don't put them on the bed."
Xia Yan was shocked. Could this be their residence?
I couldn't believe it when he said there was a bed inside.
The bed has to be at least 1.67 meters long, right? It looks like the hole is only about this deep and half a meter wide at most. How could it possibly fit a bed that could sleep someone?
She bent down and looked inside in disbelief. At the bottom of the pit, besides the chipped pottery jar and wooden chopsticks, she actually saw a horizontal hole.
The tail of the bed was exposed at the entrance of the cave. It was a simple bed woven from vines and covered with large, fluffy leaves.
"this..."
It’s so cramped, can you turn over while sleeping in it?
The publicity team that came over changed their expressions instantly after seeing this, their eyes became more complicated, revealing their full distress.
There are always people who live a life that is harder than you can imagine.
The stimulated propaganda team was like being injected with chicken blood. They ran into the crowd and tried their best to persuade them to join the base.
Xia Yan silently sent down a small portion of food and expressed his appreciation for Chu Wanfu's decision.
There are still people who care about the survivors.
The man in black stood silently looking in the direction of the team, and Xia Yan couldn't tell what emotion he was feeling.
On the other side, no matter how passionate the propaganda team's tone was or how favorable the conditions they offered were, the people covered by the clothes remained silent.
The black, loose clothes are like a hard shell, and the thick, twisted stitches are a unique spell blessing. Combined together, they can block any outside exploration. No one can know what they are thinking except themselves.
"Where should we put the rest?" she said, breaking the silence.
The man in black turned sharply towards her, and only moved his legs after his scattered thoughts came back to him.
This time he was almost at the northern end of the stele.
After moving the stone with great effort, he hunched over and gasped for breath. Xia Yan saw that the black cloth outlined the irregular curves of his waist and back, as if there were many bulges hidden under his clothes.
The man in black keenly sensed that her gaze had lingered on him for too long, and immediately straightened his back.
Xia Yan shifted his gaze to the new pit. This residence had steps leading down, and it should be larger inside.
He paused in stretching his legs and said hesitantly, "Should you get your people to come in and help?"
Xia Yan looked at him and smiled after a while.
"Can."
She called over the propaganda team that was surrounding the people and trying to persuade them earnestly, "Go down and help me with the work."
The propaganda team was stunned for a moment, then nodded and went down.
They are not fools. After trying to persuade them for a long time without any response, Boss Xia suddenly asked them to help. It was obvious that the leader disagreed and was politely refusing.
I think they are just too anxious. How could someone who has survived safely until now leave his original residence because of the persuasion of a stranger?
No matter how harsh the conditions here are, what is real is that they survived.
Xia Yan was the last one to go down.
Looking at the dark cave entrance, she planned to go down and light a birthday candle for illumination - the flashlight was too bright, and if it attracted some light-loving plants, she could run away, but what about these indigenous people?
Her feet moved back and forth, groping for the steps in the darkness.
But in the blink of an eye, a dim, shimmering white light stretched out beneath her feet, barely illuminating the next step.
It was a man in black holding a strangely shaped fruit to light her way.
"Thanks."
Xia Yan took advantage of the situation and went down quickly. Only when he stepped on solid ground did he take the time to look at what was in his hand.
This thing is very similar to the one I just saw on the vine.
She looked around and found that the space here was indeed much larger. There were several such fruits placed in the corner, and the light they emitted was dimmer than the other.
But it is very ugly, extremely ugly, probably because it cannot see the sun, and it grows very randomly - growing in clumps here and there, like a deformed tumor.
The man in black placed the fruit on the only table in the room, raised his hand and made a small point under his clothes, "Put the rest of the things there."
Xia Yan placed the remaining supplies in the direction of his finger, and handed him the order form, asking him to check the goods.
He was obviously stunned. He raised and put down his hand covered by the black clothes, and finally picked it up and held it without moving.
The propaganda team had been standing nearby, and after looking at the bottom of the cave, they vaguely knew the purpose of the men in black - they were living well and would not leave.
The room not only has a spacious stone bed, but also simple carved furniture.
With the dim light, I could see a few wicker cages beside the bed, each filled with half a frame of similar fruits. Although they were not delicacies from land and sea, they were good things as long as they could fill my stomach.
"I see you didn't buy any bedding this time. Next time you come to my place, just find a staff member and have him take you through the resort gate to the main store. I also have a clothing store and hardware store over there, so I think you might be able to use them."
Xia Yan touched the hard surface of the stone bed. It felt like a thousand-year-old piece of ice. Anyone who slept on it would definitely get sick.
There is no sunlight here, and the air is not circulating. It is cold and damp. It is normal to get rheumatism when sleeping on this kind of bed.
Thinking of this, she looked up at him and said, "By the way, you can go to the hospital on base to get medicine for treatment. You can go see Doctor Sang. She's an orthopedic specialist and her medical treatment is first-class. My own employees also get medicine from her."
Upon hearing this, the propaganda team responded, "Yes, I forgot to tell you that the hospital in the base is free. As long as you join the base, not only will you be provided with accommodation, but you can also receive relief food to get through the early stages of life.
"Brother, think about it. How can people live in this place? If you get sick, you'll just die. Why don't you live in a different environment?"
The dim light obscured the trembling smock of the man in black.
He took a deep breath silently, trying to suppress the emotions that were about to burst out, and said stiffly: "No, we are in good health and not as pretentious as you."
Everyone was stunned, not understanding why he would refuse.
The man in black walked over to the supplies and threw the fallen packaging bag on top. His voice, choked by smoke, sounded cold as he said, "After you deliver the supplies, you can leave. We don't need to live anywhere else. Don't come here again. Go and live your own lives."
"Hey, you—" The younger guy in the publicity team couldn't stand it any longer and raised his voice, "We all mean well and want to help you, why are you talking like that?!"
Upon hearing this, the man in black threw the package heavily to the ground and growled angrily, "What does my words have to do with you? You only gave me things because I paid for the crystal cores!"
As soon as you get here, you act so condescending and pity others. Do we need your pity? Who allowed us to join the base? Where were you when the disaster happened? Now you all pop up as saviors?
No need! We can survive on our own! ! ”
