Su Tao slapped his leg:
"What? Not only is his intelligence fine, he's actually quite smart. It's just that he hasn't seen these things before. Are you okay? If you're okay, go back and get some sleep."
Shi Zijin looked at Lin Fangzhi again, and seeing that he really didn't understand, he didn't say anything.
He just asked, "Where will you arrange for him to sleep tonight? Or should I take him away?"
Lin Fangzhi understood and his face changed drastically. He wanted to shake his head but didn't dare.
Su Tao said, "Why are you so unpopular with children? Chenxi and Chenyang are so old, but they are afraid of you. He sleeps in his own space at night, so don't worry about him."
Lin Fangzhi didn't relax until Shi Zijin left.
Su Tao was also sleepy, so she returned the cleaned and dried quilt and pillow to him:
"You should go to bed early too. I've put a water cup on the table for you. If you get thirsty in the middle of the night, get some water yourself. If you need anything, knock on my door. Good night."
Lin Fangzhi hugged her and nodded obediently, watching her go into the bedroom and close the door, then he softly said good night in a voice that only he could hear.
Xue Dao sniffed him, then slowly walked into the pet room and fell asleep on his mattress.
It was late at night and the moonlight was everywhere.
Lin Fangzhi stared blankly at Su Tao's bedroom door for a long time. When he heard the regular breathing sounds coming from the room, he disappeared into his own space.
This was the first time he had slept in a bed since he was a child.
It turns out that the bed is so soft that you can sink into it when you lie on it, and the feeling of being wrapped in warmth is so comfortable.
But it was also the first time that he felt that it was too quiet here and he could not hear the breathing sounds that made him feel at ease.
Su Tao woke up yawning early in the morning and was shocked when she saw the situation in front of her as soon as she opened the door.
Lin Fangzhi was huddled at her door, wrapped in a ragged quilt.
The moment the door opened, the boy woke up immediately, his eyes widened, and he jumped up and hid in the corner.
Su Tao quickly comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, it's me, don't be afraid."
The fear in Lin Fangzhi's eyes slowly faded away.
"Why are you sleeping outside? Is the bed uncomfortable, or is it the sofa?"
Lin Fangzhi could only shake his head and could not give a clear explanation.
Su Tao sighed and said patiently:
"Sleeping on the floor is bad for your health. It's easy to catch a cold and your sleep quality is poor. Be good and sleep on the bed or sofa next time."
While chattering, he was checking for missing supplies before the trip. As soon as he got downstairs, he ran into Qian Rongrong who was out of breath.
"Sister Taozi, I finally made it. I was worried you'd already gone to Gate 3 to meet up with them. This is for you."
Su Tao took the bag from her and asked curiously, "What's that? Hey, your eyes are red, did you not sleep last night?"
Qian Rongrong touched her head and felt embarrassed.
Su Tao opened the bag and found it was a leather gun bag. She was surprised.
"Thank you. You did this? That's amazing."
Judging from its structure, it can be tied around the waist or thigh. The suede texture feels soft and strong.
Qian Rongrong blushed so much that she looked like she was about to be cooked:
"I learned it from someone before, not professionally, just as a hobby. A few days ago, I saw the photo of the holster you made for Grandma Cen and thought I could make it, so I gave it a try. I hope you can use it."
Su Tao not only found it useful, but also liked it very much, and put it on her waist and fastened it on the spot:
"It's both beautiful and practical. If this weren't the end of the world, my Rongrong would definitely be a famous craftsman."
Qian Rongrong was so overwhelmed by the praise that she pushed her away:
"Go quickly, Sister Taozi. I saw Major General Shi waiting at the door for quite a while."
When she arrived at the gate of Taoyang, Zhuang Wanmei and others, along with a large group of tenants, were waiting to see her off. They repeated their instructions over and over again, and only left one after another after they saw her get into the car and disappear.
"How disgusting." Guan Zining complained and continued driving.
The car was picked up from the repair shop last night, and the refrigerator was installed in the trunk and started working.
The old man also installed electric privacy curtains on the car windows, which can be pulled down by remote control when taking a break, so that you can look inside but not outside.
The back seat can be completely folded flat to become a 1.2-meter-long bed, and there is a sliding shelf above it for placing bedding and daily necessities.
It's a low-end version of a small RV.
Su Tao was quite satisfied anyway. With Fang Zhi's space, it was not a problem to meet her needs for a better quality of life.
She took out the crystal gun from her backpack and put it into the holster at her waist. It was just the right size and easy to put in and take out.
Rongrong is really a little angel, so useful and handsome.
There were still three of her precious crystal cores in her backpack. After thinking about it, she took them out and handed them to Lin Fangzhi:
"Please help me put it away."
If she put it in her bag and it got stolen or robbed, she would be heartbroken.
Lin Fangzhi nodded and took it from her hand and put it into the space.
When they arrived at the meeting point at Gate No. 3, the pioneer army's convoy was lined up in an orderly row, waiting on the spot.
This mission is of great importance, and there are eight vehicles accompanying us, four of which are large trucks used to load building materials and medical equipment that can be found later.
Two were loaded with marching supplies and one was carrying people.
The last one was the strangest. It was parked in the middle of the convoy. The entire body of the car was sealed, with no windows and a layer of metal mesh on the outside.
The one sealed inside should be the evolved zombie "Bone Wing" that has committed several bloody crimes.
Shi Zijin walked over, dressed in a neat military uniform, and pointed to the empty seat in front of the car:
"Drive the car over there."
Guan Zining did as he was told and said to Su Tao:
"I'm right, aren't I? Major General Shi will definitely let you walk in the middle of the convoy. In the past, the car in the middle always carried valuable supplies during missions, but now it's you and that little monster's turn."
Su Tao said: "Invite him during the afternoon tea."
The car arrived at the spot. Su Tao looked at the car with the ropes tied up behind it, and goose bumps appeared on her arms for no apparent reason.
I hope all the monsters inside fell asleep during this journey.
After all the cars were in place, Shi Zijin called all the accompanying personnel down to make the final mission mobilization.
As the slogans were being shouted loudly, Su Tao suddenly saw a strange yet familiar person in the logistics team - Jiang Jinwei.
Su Tao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that a long time seemed to have passed, and the scenes at the Su family seemed to gradually fade away in her memory.
She had almost forgotten about Jiang Jinwei, but now she remembered that without her to replace her, Jiang Jinwei had to join the army, so it was not surprising that she appeared in the accompanying team.
Amid the noise, Jiang Jinwei also saw her.
The teammates around her followed her gaze and saw Su Tao, then turned to ask Jiang Jinwei:
"Didn't you say she was your sister? Why didn't she come to see you? Why don't you talk to her and take the middle car? It'll be much safer, and you might even get some special food."
Jiang Jinwei knew that her teammates didn't really wish her well, but were deliberately teasing her to make fun of her.
Jiang Jinwei said with a fake smile: "I don't care. Whoever cares about her should go flatter her."
None of her teammates liked Jiang Jinwei very much, thinking she was pretentious, troublesome, and foul-mouthed.
Hearing this, they rolled their eyes and ignored her.
Su Tao pretended not to see it and looked away.
Just a familiar stranger, no need to pay too much attention.
Standing on the roof, Shi Zijin's mobilization speech was nearing its end. Everyone's spirits remained high. When the last sentence "I have no regrets in death" was uttered, Su Tao's blood began to boil.
However, just as the "departure" horn was about to sound, Xue Dao, who had been lying motionless, suddenly stood up, his body in a state of alert, and barked loudly in a certain direction.
Alarm bells rang in Su Tao's mind as she remembered Pei Dong's instructions. After training, her sense of smell had evolved and she was very familiar with Gu Mingchi's scent. She would bark if he approached within a hundred meters.
She subconsciously looked in the direction of Xue Dao's barking, and saw a man standing on the Dongyang city wall. Her face could not be seen clearly from a distance. He was dressed in black and stood motionless against the light of the departing sun.
Shi Zijin suddenly approached, covered her eyes, half-hugged her and pushed her into the car.
Xue Dao was still barking with his teeth bared, but he was also pulled over, packed up and put into the car.
The horn sounded, the dawn set in the east, and the morning sun peeked through the clouds, announcing the arrival of the scorching sun.
The huge convoy was heading towards the desolate and mysterious distance.
