Du Jia raised his hand to interrupt, saying, "I already know everything that happened, you don't need to repeat it. How about this, you apologize to Miss Banxia and that's it!"
These words were not only spoken to the man, but also to Banxia, hoping that she would spare his life for the time being, considering the man's apology.
After all, he glanced at Banxia furtively; she was a ruthless person who knew how to take action.
Despite his arrogant demeanor, the man was actually a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong. He didn't dare to resist Du Jia at all and stammered an apology: "I'm sorry!"
Banxia and the others didn't say whether they forgave or not, but filled a basin with water to wash the dishes.
Du Jia didn't leave, but stood aside and chatted: "Nanxing, Banxia, Su Yao... It's been a long time. Thank you all just now."
Nanxing shook his head: "It's nothing, no need to thank me."
Even if he didn't open the window, Du Jia could find other empty rooms nearby, so it wasn't a problem at all.
Du Jia smiled wryly: "My brother and I have been out all day and we're exhausted. If you don't open the window and let us in, we'll have to find another house, and we might run into zombies, or maybe..."
There were eight people in the team when they set off, but now there are only six left. The two soldiers were exhausted and were caught by zombies and died during the rescue.
But death is a common occurrence in the apocalypse, so he quickly composed himself and asked with concern, "I heard there was a landslide on Miaomiao Mountain. If you have nowhere to go, would you like to join the base?"
“I’m sorry,” Nanxing refused without even thinking, “we’re used to a free and easy life.”
With the addition of Nanxing and the others, the pressure on the base guards will definitely be much less.
Du Jia was unwilling to give up such a great opportunity and continued to persuade, "Our base offers exceptional benefits to those with superpowers. Not only do we provide free two-bedroom apartments, but we also offer food, water, and clothing at half price. If you're willing to go on missions to kill zombies and mutated animals, you'll even have the opportunity to officially join the army..."
“Brother,” Su Yao interrupted him, putting his arm around him, “I know your base has good benefits, but to be shameless, we were already successful before the apocalypse and have enjoyed everything we could. We have no desire for power or status. Instead, we care more about whether we have time to spend with our families.”
Some people may think that what they are doing is unambitious, that they are not willing to reach out and pick up the huge fortune right in front of them, but who knows if they have the life to fight for it or the life to enjoy it.
"The base's doors are always open to you," Du Jia said, afraid that further advice might offend you. "Don't hesitate to ask for help if anything happens!"
"He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him." As long as a few people need something from the base, the rest will fall into place naturally.
After saying that, he realized he hadn't told the others about the new location of the base, so he quickly added, "By the way, because the subway tunnel was flooded due to the rain, the base has been moved to the commercial center."
"Okay, we'll definitely go to the base for help if anything happens. We're all exhausted today, so let's go back and rest!"
Su Yao readily agreed, but both sides knew perfectly well that unless they were desperate, they would never risk their lives for the base.
Du Jia was anxious, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only turn around and continue searching for usable wood. It was so cold; if they didn't light a campfire to keep warm tonight, they probably wouldn't be able to get up in the morning!
Banxia and the others put the cleaned tableware into their space and led the furry creatures home.
Banxia asked, "How do we keep watch at night?"
Although there were soldiers present, those men didn't seem like the type to behave themselves, so to prevent any accidents, it was natural to arrange for someone to keep watch at night.
Before Su Yao and the others could speak, Yinzi raised its head and meowed: "Sister, look at me!"
It heard from Big Orange and Pear Blossom that their home was buried by stones and mud, and that its older brother and sister were exhausted from running for their lives and would definitely get sick if they didn't get a good rest at night.
The little kitten fears neither the sky nor man-eating monsters, but it's afraid of its sister getting sick.
Jinzi, Tuanzi, and Heizi also volunteered to help Banxia: Sister, I'll be on night duty!
Banxia hugged the shrunken version of Yinzi with emotion and took a deep breath: "Thank you, Yinzi!" She then hugged Jinzi, Tuanzi, and Heizi in turn, treating them all equally.
Su Yao hugged the orange cat with a look of envy and said affectionately, "Big Orange~"
The orange cat gave him a haughty look: Useless human, when it really matters, it's still me, the cat, who can be relied on!
Su Yao knew this meant he agreed, so he hugged Da Ju and tried to kiss her.
I helped my pet owner take night duty, and the pet owner repaid kindness with enmity!
Daju angrily slapped Su Yao on the head and fled into the house as fast as it could.
The composed Pear Blossom watched her friends flee in disarray, shook her head helplessly, and lightly jumped into Zhao Xuan's arms, meowing.
Get some rest, human. I'm on night duty tonight!
Zhao Xuan gently stroked Lihua's ear: "Thank you, Lihua."
Mao Rongrong volunteered to do the work, and Banxia and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were indeed a bit tired after running away in tension and getting soaked in the rain.
Banxia carefully checked the windows, then took out a tent and set it up: "Jinzi, Yinzi, Tuanzi, Heizi, you can rest in the tent tonight. Shout loudly if anything happens."
After the few fluffy creatures obediently responded, they pulled Nanxing into the space to wash up and go to sleep.
Nothing was said that night, and the next day, all three families woke up half an hour later than planned.
Banxia put the furry creatures into her space to eat and take care of their bodily needs, while she and Nanxing took the ingredients and went out to prepare breakfast.
Su Yao and Cai Yuan also came out of the room with their things, greeted each other, and silently started cooking.
Because there were outsiders present, the group didn't make a big show of it like yesterday, but simply made a vegetable and shredded pork noodle dish.
