The car creaked as it drove through the snow. Many people along the way were clearing the ice from the streets, but the effect was not ideal. Although City Z had a barrier to block the falling snow, it did not stop the invasion of the cold wind. The air was still very cold, causing a lot of trouble for the thawing project.
Xihe opened the window a little, and the temperature inside the car instantly dropped several degrees. Everyone shivered: "Sister-in-law, it's cold."
She closed the window with a smile. "You guys go with the army to collect supplies. Is it okay to take me with you?"
Zhou Yan: "It's okay, this isn't a secret mission. We just need to ensure our own safety." He turned to look at her and said, "Stay warm. When we get there, stay with me. Don't get lost."
Xihe nodded and looked ahead. At the end of his sight, there was a bustling crowd, and many people had already arrived at the meeting place.
Some drove themselves, some chose to ride in military vehicles. Most of them were young and middle-aged men, the pillars of their families. They were all wrapped tightly, exhaled hot air when they opened their mouths, and kept walking around to warm up their bodies.
Zhou Yan has participated in this kind of supply collection activity with the army three or four times and is considered an acquaintance.
As soon as he got off the car, several acquaintances came up to him. Zhou Yan greeted them and walked towards the military side. He started chatting with a baby-faced young man in military uniform, and he seemed very familiar with him.
Others also got off the bus and looked around or talked to others.
Xihe sat in the car with his eyes closed to rest, when suddenly an idea came to his mind and he subconsciously looked towards the city.
A mysterious feeling rose from her heart, as if someone was secretly watching her... Soon the feeling disappeared, and she frowned: "Did you feel it?"
Gouzi: "Someone tried to enter the system space, but I stopped him."
Xihe: ???
Gouzi: "Xihe, it seems there is another person who has done the task in this world. Let me see who it is... Uh, I can't find him. He disappeared."
Xihe used her spiritual sense to investigate, but the world was too suppressed and she could only see about ten meters around her. In other words, the other party was in the dark and they were in the light. They had no idea whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, or what they wanted to do.
"Don't worry about it. If the other party really wants to do something, they will come to you sooner or later."
She was suppressed, and there was no reason for the opponent not to be affected. Under the same circumstances, she would not necessarily lose to the opponent.
After hearing what she said, the dog didn't care anymore and jumped out of the car. It ran around happily in the snow, barking very actively.
At the same time, on Guan Xinxin's side, the system's mechanical voice sounded: "The exploration results are unknown. Please explore on your own."
Guan Xinxin raised an eyebrow. "I'm actually blocked." Her eyes lit up with amusement, but her vigilance also grew. Her mission was to slap the scumbag in the face and ensure her family's survival in the apocalypse. Anyone who stood in her way must be eliminated!
Zhou Yan did not appear in the original owner's memory, but his actions so far have shown that he is a talented person.
And this kind of talent is very worth winning over for the Guan family now.
After all, social order collapsed later, and only by collecting more supplies, gathering all kinds of talents, and building an absolutely safe shelter can they survive the cold winter that lasted for more than ten years... The Guan family had too many political enemies, and it was even more difficult to survive.
What she needs to consider now is, Zhou Yan... Is it worth her taking the unknown risks to win him over?
Xihe didn’t know what Guan Xinxin was thinking, and she didn’t even know such a person existed.
But she was not too worried. When the time comes, she will know what to do.
The team gathered, everyone got on the bus and headed out of the city.
Outside the barrier, the wind and snow were raging, and the temperature was extremely low. The car could not be turned off, otherwise it would be frozen... The long convoy drove according to the direction of the compass and map, and arrived in City Y after four or five hours.
The sky was gray and the city was covered in snow. The car entered the city and everyone got off and started looking for supplies.
After finding a supermarket and a warehouse, everyone started to thaw. Xihe followed Zhou Yan to help. There were more and more people in City Z, but the supplies in the city were limited. They had to collect enough supplies before the freezing got worse.
Others had the same idea and followed the army, working enthusiastically and actively.
Pang He and Liu Yu worked very hard and followed their brother Yan closely.
After the warehouse was thawed, the grain was quickly loaded onto the truck.
Xihe noticed that Zhou Yan moved the things into the military vehicle, while the others moved the things into their own cars.
Noticing her gaze, Zhou Yan walked over and shook her hand: "Trust me."
Xihe looked at Pang He and Liu Yu, who were unaware of anything, and nodded: "Yeah."
From morning until after ten o'clock in the evening, when it was completely dark and the air became increasingly cold, the convoy began its return journey. Each vehicle was fully loaded with supplies, including food, cotton-padded jackets, etc.
The journey back was a bit difficult. There was too much snow on the road and I almost took the wrong road several times.
Seeing this, Xihe asked Gou Zi to lead the way. This time the road was finally flat and everything went smoothly.
At seven o'clock the next morning, the car passed through the barrier and stopped at the outskirts of City Z. Many family members were already waiting there. Their uneasy expressions turned into smiles when they saw the car pass through the barrier.
Zhou Yan and the others got off the car, and the soldiers came over: "We have to thank your Dahei this time, he is a great hero!"
Upon hearing this, the dog immediately jumped up happily and barked proudly.
Zhou Yan patted the dog's head and said with a smile, "Dahei is smarter."
The soldier smiled, turned around to look at his captain, and said, "Zhou Yan, our captain wants to talk to you. Please come with me."
Zhou Yan nodded, said something to Xihe and the others, and then followed the soldiers.
Xihe and the other two were waiting bored. After the people around them recorded the supplies, they left one after another with the joy of a good harvest on their faces.
About ten minutes later, Zhou Yan returned. Pang He and Liu Yu stared at him eagerly.
A smile flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes: "Okay, we will follow the army to collect supplies. If there is a recruitment in the future, please give us priority."
Pang He and Liu Yu immediately cheered: "Let's see if Guan Xinxin dares to be so arrogant again after we join the army!"
Liu Yu also snorted coldly: "That's right, you're always blocking Brother Yan everywhere, what's wrong with you? Don't you know that Brother Yan has a sister-in-law..." When he saw Xihe, he was suddenly stuck.
Xihe was puzzled: "Guan Xinxin?"
On the way, Zhou Yan had already told Guan Xinxin about donating supplies, but who is this?
Pang He and Liu Yu looked around with guilty expressions. Zhou Yan shook his head helplessly and told the story again.
A light bulb went off in Xihe's head, and he and Gouzi said in unison: It's her!
