Chapter 113: Two Days of Hunger, Five Hundred Contribution Points
"Professor Wang, you should eat something. Not only for yourself, but also for the child. The child is still young..."
A guard scooped some cooked noodles from the pot into an iron bowl and tried to persuade them earnestly.
The middle-aged man looked at the child who was sleeping in the car, picked up the bowl and started eating.
He quickly finished a bowl of plain noodles with just a little salt.
After a while the child was also awakened, but after waking up he kept crying and shouting for his mother, and even reached out his hands and feet to hit the man.
"Why don't you save mom? Why don't you save mom? You killed mom. You are not my father anymore..."
The little boy pushed the middle-aged man and kicked his calves. The middle-aged man's face was full of self-blame, and he felt very guilty.
But the situation was urgent at the time, and the guards could only ensure his safety first. After all, their mission was to bring Professor Wang back safely.
A guard handed the cooked noodles to the little boy, but the little boy was so angry at the moment that there was no way he could eat.
He hated the guards more than he hated his father. He hated them for not fighting the bad guys to the death when they had guns in their hands.
If they had been more powerful, their mother would not have died.
"I don't want to eat it, take it away..." He pushed the guard angrily, but he couldn't stop his hand and slapped it directly on the bowl of noodles.
The clanging sound of the iron bowl falling to the ground startled several people who were resting around, and for a moment everyone's eyes fell on the bowl of noodles.
In this age when people can no longer get enough food, everyone knows how precious food is.
Especially the survivors who came with us to complete the mission, some of them had just entered the shelter.
With the same purpose as Xiang Yu, he came out to earn some contribution points, and then went back to exchange them for some food to fill his stomach.
Along the way, everyone ate some compressed biscuits and bread mixed with mud and sand, and they drank very little water.
At this time, several people in the team looked at the noodles on the ground and swallowed their saliva.
The little boy knew he had done something wrong and stood there in a daze for a moment, while the guard just squatted down.
Pick up the noodles that have fallen to the ground little by little, mix the noodles with some sand in water, and then you can still eat them.
“Dad… Dad, I didn’t mean it…” The little boy looked at the middle-aged man for help.
At this time, the guards' attitude towards the two people was no longer as friendly as at the beginning, and they looked completely official.
Xiang Yu looked at the child nestled in Professor Wang's arms with an indifferent expression.
Professor Wang is a scientific researcher and rarely shows up in the shelter, but she has seen this child several times in her previous life.
Relying on his father being a scientific researcher, he bullied many people in the shelter.
The child had just lost his mother, and Professor Wang did not blame him too much for his previous behavior. Instead, he asked for some more noodles.
I cooked another bowl for him, which made the survivors nearby envious.
Although the little boy resisted, he still ate the bowl of noodles.
Everyone was in a hurry when they came here, and they traveled almost without any rest along the way.
But after picking up the people, they were no longer in such a hurry. They would stop to rest at mealtime, but Xiang Yu and his companions' mission was to continue exploring the way.
They are the first to wade through danger and step into sand pits.
Professor Wang's family must be well-off. Even in the end times, their family probably didn't have a hard time.
The pickup truck was bumpy all the way, and as an adult, Professor Wang could still tolerate it, but the little boy was much more noisy along the way.
Because there were both father and son in the car, a sunshade tent was set up on the pickup truck. However, after only two hours of driving under the scorching sun, the little boy kept complaining of being hot and wanted to find a place to rest.
Professor Wang had to keep calming him down. If the team didn't stop to rest, he would start crying and calling for his mother.
Professor Wang felt distressed and talked to the captain of the rescue team to ask if they could take a rest before leaving.
In this way, the journey that was originally supposed to take only three days was delayed by a full five days.
As long as Professor Wang returns to the shelter, he will no longer be an ordinary survivor.
The captain of the rescue team would not reject his request. He only ordered the team to speed up when he saw the oil running out day by day.
It was past one o'clock in the morning on the sixth day when they arrived at the shelter. Xiang Yu felt lucky that they had not encountered any danger on the way back.
Since a lot of time was wasted on the road, when calculating the rewards for this mission, the original 300 contribution points were lost.
It increased to 500 contribution points.
After all, the rescue team members had enough food to fill their stomachs in the last two days.
However, the survivors who followed them on this mission only brought five days of food.
Even though everyone was already eating frugally, the task exceeded their original expectations and there was not enough food, so they had to go hungry for two days.
After going hungry for two days and getting 500 contribution points, everyone's complaints disappeared.
