Chapter 146 Makes You Want to Take a Bite and Taste It [12]
After finishing speaking, Chen Wang didn't even look at Li Lixue's increasingly unpleasant expression, turned around, walked around the front of the car, and got into the car.
He started the car and drove off.
When the two SUVs behind saw that Chen Wang had set off, they started their cars and followed.
Someone on the minibus impatiently urged Li Lixue, "Are you leaving or not?"
Li Lixue stomped her foot in anger and could only turn around and go back to the minibus.
Those who knew her and what she had just been planning couldn't help but let out a mocking sneer.
Li Lixue bit her lip, feeling extremely embarrassed.
That arrogant fool has absolutely no manners!
Lacking any manners, Chen Wang drove straight out of the service area.
His speed wasn't very fast, just enough for the cars behind to keep up.
As he glanced at the right rearview mirror, Chen Wang noticed that A Chu was looking at him.
He glanced at Achu and noticed that she had a knowing smile on her face, which was both playful and lively.
Shen Wang asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Achu blinked and replied, "Brother Chenwang, you just got confessed to!"
"That girl is quite pretty!"
Chen Wang: "Is it pretty? I don't think so."
Achu: "Huh? None of them are pretty. Brother Chenwang, are your standards that high?"
Shen Wang glanced at A Chu again, his gaze settling on her delicate and beautiful face, and hummed in agreement: "Your standards are quite high."
He has lived for at least twenty-six years and has never felt any attraction to any girl.
Oh no, there's one now.
Chen Wang silently added a sentence in his mind.
As the two were talking, the cars behind them caught up.
The pace of delusions gradually accelerated.
However, it is inevitable to encounter accident vehicles blocking the road along the way.
Some areas can still accommodate one car, while others are completely blocked.
In this situation, Chen Wang and his men need to get out of the car and clear a path.
The journey was stop-and-go, switching between high-speed and low-speed routes.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Wang and his group finally arrived at the Ping An Base.
A long line formed outside the gate of the Ping An Base, with people coming from all over the country.
Some people drove, some walked.
Some people even went door-to-door knocking on car windows begging for food and drink.
In the current situation, everyone is struggling to take care of themselves, so how can they possibly give away their most precious food and water?
Of course, there are also very kind and soft-hearted people who will give you a bag of cookies or something.
Some people also came to knock on Chen Wang's car.
He was a thin, haggard man, holding a child who was one or two years old in his arms.
"Please have mercy! Give my child something to eat!"
The child in her arms was crying loudly, his voice became hoarse, and he looked very pitiful.
Chen Wang showed absolutely no intention of lowering the car window.
He turned his head to look at Achu, worried that she might soften and open the window.
After all, in his opinion, the little girl was a bit too naive.
Chen Wang was still thinking that if A Chu had a soft heart, he would lock the car window and not let her open it.
Unexpectedly, Ah Chu glanced at the person knocking on the car window and turned her head towards him.
Shen Wang was somewhat surprised.
The person who knocked on the car window was initially pleading pitifully, but when he didn't get a response, his attitude immediately changed. He left cursing and went to knock on the next car.
Seeing Achu's relieved expression, Chen Wang said, "I thought you would want to give him some food."
Achu's eyes did show reluctance. She bit her lip and said, "I just saw him pinch that child."
What kind of good person is an adult who pinches a child just to make him cry?
Giving alms to such people will bring no good results whatsoever.
Shen Wang naturally saw that scene as well, but he didn't expect that A Chu would also notice this detail.
He seemed to understand the girl in front of him even better now.
Chen Wang mentally updated his description of A Chu: naive, somewhat gullible, timid, prone to crying, and not kind-hearted.
.
The line moved slowly forward, and by the time it was Chen Wang and his group's turn, it was almost six o'clock.
The staff member in charge of guarding the gate raised his hand to signal Chen Wang to stop the car.
Chen Wang rolled down the car window, took out an ID card and showed it: "I'm from the Beijing base, here in F City on a mission."
"We need to spend the night at the base, and there are some more people in the minibus who are going to the Ping An base."
The staff understood what Chen Wang meant and then checked his identification.
"Okay, please move the car to the side."
With their credentials, Chen Wang can bring his team to stay at the Peace Base for free for one night; this is one of their perks.
Others, if they are only staying for one night, will have to pay for some supplies, but not much.
However, if they want to settle down in the base, they need to pay one-third of their supplies, and the base will arrange a place for them to stay.
If you don't want to pay any fees, then go in and figure it out yourself.
Before arriving at the Ping An base, Chen Wang had Lin Xiangheng and the others divide up the supplies they had collected at the service area the day before.
Each of them had some supplies.
Those who chose to settle in the Peace Base basically contributed one-third of the supplies.
As for those going to the Beijing base, it depends on what kind of accommodation they want.
If you want a nicer place to stay, then it will be more expensive.
The cheaper ones are the average or even the less desirable ones.
Some people chose the average one, while others chose the less desirable one.
Anyway, we should save money wherever we can.
Before Achu could even make a choice, Chen Wang helped her deliver the supplies, and she was arranged to live with them.
It's a large suite with simple decor and four rooms.
Achu and Maiya shared a room.
Shen Wang and Lin Xiangheng shared a room.
Xu Da and Dr. Wang shared a room.
Zhang Jingzhu and Yue Tingsong shared a room.
There is water here, although it is limited, but it is enough for them to take a simple shower.
After two days of running around outside, it would be great to take a nice, relaxing shower, even if the water is cold.
It's okay, it's summer now, perfect for taking a cold shower!
Everyone quickly took turns taking a shower.
Lin Xiangheng was the first to take a shower, and after he finished, he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Yesterday, they were out and just ate some bread and compressed biscuits to tide them over.
Now that we're settled for the time being, of course we need to eat something hot.
Everyone else showers very quickly, usually finishing in about five minutes.
Ah Chu took a little longer to wash, about ten minutes.
However, she didn't use much of the cold water provided by the base; instead, she used the hot water stored in her space.
When she came out, Shen Wang was sitting on the wooden sofa in the living room.
He looked up when he heard the door open.
Ah Chu had a pink towel on her head, a white short-sleeved shirt, and gray sweatpants.
Her face was fair with a rosy glow, like a perfectly ripe peach, making you want to take a bite and taste it.
Chen Wang's Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes darkened slightly.
Achu seemed oblivious, and looked at Chenwang, calling out, "Brother Chenwang, I'm done washing, you should go wash up now!"
Shen Wang hummed in response, his voice low.
As Achu dried her hair, she walked into the room.
Her room happened to be located right next to Chen Wang.
A gentle breeze brushed against Chen Wang's cheek, carrying a faint fragrance.
The aroma wasn't strong or pungent; it was more like a refreshing fruity scent with a hint of sweetness.
