Yuan Chongming's mission had been completed, and he had no intention of staying here. Because he did not find any trace of Lianyi and Zhao Jia among those who were captured, he knew that the two must have escaped, so he went straight to find the captain.
"My mission is complete, so I'll go back first. My friends must be worried about me, and I have a little nephew who needs to be taken care of."
"The temperature is dropping now. It might not be safe for you to go back alone."
The captain was very responsible. After all, he really found food for them, which is life-saving.
"It's okay. With you guys coming all the way here, no one dares to run into the muzzle of a gun now."
Yuan Chongming was really not afraid. He also had weapons in his hands. With such a big commotion here, everyone knew that a conflict had occurred. It would be safe for him to go back now.
"In that case, why don't you take some food back?"
"No, if I carry the food by myself, it will be easy for people to target me. I will go and get it myself later."
Yuan Chongming was no fool and he immediately rejected the other party's proposal.
“Okay, I didn’t think it through, you leave first, and we’ll come find you if we need you.
We will stay here for one night, and then transport the people and food back tomorrow. You can always come to me if you have any questions."
The captain promised.
"OK."
After Yuan Chongming said goodbye to the other party, he was eager to return home. His snowboard left a shadow and he rushed home with a headlamp on.
When Lianyi and Zhao Jia returned to Shanshui Huating, they were spied on again. However, most people stopped watching because only one of them was carrying a backpack and both of them were from Building 4. However, there were some people who didn't believe in it and secretly pulled a rope, hoping to trip the two and snatch their backpacks.
It was pitch black all around, but Lianyi and Zhao Jia's headlamps were on, and Lianyi had good ears, so she caught the vibration when the rope was instantly tightened. She spun around and jumped over the rope. After landing, she grabbed the rope with one hand and pulled it hard, pulling out two people.
Two people screamed in the darkness, still holding on to the rope desperately, and Lianyi was not going to let them go. He swung the rope with skillful force, and after swinging it twice, the rope flew out of his hand and hit the ice surface in the distance. The sounds of "plop", "ah" and "ouch" were heard by the two people one after another.
Zhao Jia also sensed the ambush, slid sideways and stopped beside Lian Yi, snorted coldly and said:
"Or just kill him!"
Her voice was not loud, but it was extremely creepy in the silent and pitch-dark night, and the sound suddenly died down not far away.
"We are kind-hearted fairies and we won't do such cruel things. They didn't attack us directly. If you want to kill them, you have to have a reasonable reason. Otherwise, it will be bad for us to bear the sin. I want to go to heaven in the future."
Lianyi talked nonsense in a serious manner.
"All right!"
Zhao Jia shrugged, and the two of them ran straight to their own building. The black shadow crawling on the ground crawled away from its original place like a maggot, not daring to make any sound, for fear that the two people would come back.
After this little episode, the two finally returned to the 15th floor safely. Li Qian and Sun Weifeng had been waiting anxiously, and they were relieved to see the two return safely.
"Are you two okay? Are you hurt?"
"It's okay, I'm not hurt. It was a great day today. I did a great job."
Zhao Jia said in a very good mood.
"It's too late. Can we divide the things tomorrow?"
Ripple patted his backpack and said.
"Okay, don't worry, Mingzi hasn't come back yet!"
"He should be with the support personnel, and he is safe."
Ripple said affirmatively.
"You guys take a rest first, Brother Li and I will wait and see."
The two knew Yuan Chongming's temper and estimated that he would come back after finishing his task.
Lianyi nodded, followed Xuanfeng who was already waiting impatiently, and returned to her room. Little Jiayao had already fallen asleep.
After returning to her house and starting a fire, Lianyi opened her backpack and took out cat food, cat strips, cat cans, some small toys and scratching boards, and even cat litter and a litter box, all of which she found in the warehouse.
What she took out were the ones that were visible, and the rest were all put into her space. There were also people who kept cats in the wealthy area, so a lot of cat food was stockpiled. Now it was a bargain for her. She was the cat's master, so if she went hunting, she would naturally have to get something.
Tornado was obviously enjoying it. He looked at the bunch of delicious and fun things and meowed non-stop in a sweet voice. Ripple felt very happy about it.
"This is all your master's harvest today. I'll build you a nest tomorrow so you don't have to use the toilet in the flowerpot anymore."
Since she didn't have the conditions before, she built two simple toilets. Mainly because Tornado is smart enough, after being taught twice, he knows how to solve personal problems. He is a clean little cat.
Lianyi drank a bowl of red date millet porridge and felt alive again. She fell asleep hugging the warm whirlwind. She was exhausted after the whole day.
In the second half of the night, Yuan Chongming finally came back. Now that everyone was there, everyone felt relieved. As a result, everyone got up late the next day. Lianyi slept until she woke up naturally, ate and drank her fill, then carried Xuanfeng and her backpack to the house opposite.
"I picked up some of the important things. After all, time is limited. I took the cat food, and you can share the rest."
Ripple said generously.
Sun Weifeng rubbed his hands and said:
"Hey! Then we won't be polite. Let's see what treasures Lianyi brought back."
Weifeng unzipped his backpack and took out items one by one. First, there were boxes of medicines, which were exactly the supplies they needed. Then there were high-end cigarettes and alcohol, which were suitable for drinking in winter to warm the body. At the bottom were gold bars, which were hard currency.
"These things are so valuable, and you brought them all here. You only took cat food, which doesn't match your contribution. Why don't you take something else?"
Li Qian said directly after reading it.
"No, I have stockpiled some of those things, and I won't hesitate to give them to you if I need them."
Lianyi refused directly.
The four of them looked at each other and decided to accept Lianyi's kindness.
Yuan Chongming said:
"I haven't received my share of the reward for leading the way yet. If you want to exchange it for something, just tell me."
After all, this is not his own credit. If we really want to talk about the majority, it still belongs to Lianyi. It's just that others don't care about these things. However, even if they don't care, they know clearly in their hearts that they can't take advantage of others. This is not in line with their principles in dealing with people.
"Ask if there is an official trading market, we can exchange the gold bars for some food."
Ripple suggested.
"I'll ask Captain Song and the others. They will escort the food they found at Mid-Levels Bay back to their temporary base today."
Yuan Chongming thought for a moment and said.
"Well, we'll go and have a look in batches then."
The house cannot be abandoned, someone must be left to guard it.
After finalizing the next steps, everyone dispersed.
Lianyi continued to live a simple life of petting cats, reading books and taking care of children.
A week later, Yuan Chongming and Li Qian went to the temporary station and received their reward, 200 kilograms of rice, and brought back news about the trading market. (End of this chapter)
