Sun Cheng followed Shao Jie into a tent, feeling puzzled. Nevertheless, he followed Shao Jie inside.
When he saw the people inside the tent, his mouth dropped open, but he quickly cheered up.
"Vice Captain, Xiaoxiao, you're here too! It's so nice to see you."
Cheng Shaolin looked at him with a smile, while Li Xiao smiled and pointed to the stool on the ground, urging him to sit down quickly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you too. How are you?" Li Xiao asked Sun Cheng with a smile.
"It's pretty good, not bad at all."
"That's good."
Because I had something to do, I didn't say much more.
"Sun Cheng, why aren't you at the base working? Why are you out so early?" Yu Yanbin was very surprised to see Sun Cheng. When he heard Li Xiao say that Shao Jie had brought someone over, he was wondering who it could be.
When they thought it might be Sun Cheng, they had the same thought as Shao Jie, and they thought something big had happened.
Sun Cheng's smile faded, and he said to them, "It's like this. I was getting ready to go to work this morning, and I was thinking of trying my luck by going to scout things out first."
"Who knew I'd be so lucky today? I just arrived and heard that the base is going north, to a large industrial zone with many industrial parks. The base is going to collect supplies, and many of the base's special ability teams are going too."
At this point, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yes, just like you think, that team is going too."
"Great, that would be perfect." Shao Jie clenched his fist and pounded it against the palm of his other hand, looking very excited.
"In that case, do you know which day it is?"
Sun Cheng licked his lips and nodded, "I know, it's tomorrow, we'll leave at 5 a.m.
"Okay!" It would be best if both Cheng Shaolin and I could relax.
"Thank you so much, Sun Cheng. It's so kind of you to come all this way so early in the morning."
"Hey, it's no big deal. I was just worried you'd run into the base asking around, and you'd be unfamiliar faces. Everyone in the base is very active because of this, just in case you get noticed."
"I didn't expect you to be so meticulous. You did a great job," Cheng Shaolin praised.
Sun Cheng felt a little embarrassed after being praised by Cheng Shaolin.
"No, I just want to get everything sorted out so you don't have to make another trip. I want to get everything done in one go, instead of having to make two trips."
Cheng Shaolin smiled, revealing his pearly white teeth. "You're right."
"Sun Cheng, are you still going to work at the base?" Shao Jie asked.
Sun Cheng quickly sat up straight. "Oh, right, I still have work to do. This matter came out very suddenly and has caused a great stir. Time is tight, so I came to tell you as soon as possible."
As she was saying this, she prepared to get up and leave, but Yu Yanbin stopped her.
Yu Yanbin glanced at Li Xiao, who was quick-witted and immediately called out to Sun Cheng.
He took out two packets of instant noodles and two bottles of mineral water from the bag next to him...
Upon seeing this, Sun Cheng quickly waved his hands in refusal. "I don't want it, I don't want it."
Yu Yanbin called out to him, "Take it. I've wasted so much of your time. You still have to make a living."
Shao Jie chimed in, "That's right, take it. If you don't, it means you don't consider us friends."
Sun Cheng was very conflicted, frowning and remaining silent.
Li Xiao then pulled him back, saying, "Don't pull me like that, it wouldn't be good if someone saw or heard us."
Sun Cheng was startled and wanted to go out to see what was going on. If his loud voice attracted attention, that would be his fault.
Shao Jie quickly pressed down on his shoulder, "It's okay, I'm watching, there's no one here. If you keep pushing it back and forth, then it's not up to anyone to decide who gets here."
Sun Cheng was both amused and exasperated. Others were afraid to take things out, but they were afraid of not being able to stuff things out.
Li Xiao continued, "I'm giving you these things so I can feel your presence. And also,"
Sun Cheng noticed that Li Xiao stopped halfway through her sentence, and he became very curious, staring at her and waiting for her to say what she was going to say next.
Li Xiao smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, keep the food here, there's not much of it. Also, when you go out to gather information, having some things on hand can make things much easier."
Sun Cheng looked at Li Xiao's meaningful gaze, his eyelids drooping as he looked at the bag in her hand.
"this?"
Li Xiao stuffed the bag into Sun Cheng's hand, then turned around and took out two packs of cigarettes, a pack of White Rabbit candy, and two packs of brown sugar from the bag.
Sun Cheng was truly stunned at this moment, this...
Sun Cheng stared wide-eyed at Li Xiao, what he saw before him was unbelievable.
"No, no, I can't take these."
Yu Yanbin spoke up, "Sun Cheng, take these. They'll make things easier. How you use them, or whether you use them at all, is up to you."
Sun Cheng looked up at Yu Yanbin blankly. These things were too precious. Especially the bag of White Rabbit candy and the two bags of brown sugar.
"Take it, why are you being so polite with us? I haven't even thanked you yet." Li Xiao stuffed the things into Sun Cheng's hands.
Sun Cheng's eyes welled up with tears. He had finally encountered a group of truly compassionate and genuine people. In this filthy, apocalyptic world, he was fortunate.
"Hmm." Sun Cheng's voice was muffled, but a fire was burning inside him.
"Keep your things safe and don't let anyone see them. You know the consequences," Li Xiao warned.
Having lived at the base for so long, Sun Cheng has seen and heard far more than Li Xiao and the others.
Living at the bottom of the base, their experiences are far clearer and more realistic than they ever knew.
"I know. I'll be careful."
Li Xiao had more to say, reminding him once again, "You also need to be careful of those women from before."
Sun Cheng looked at Li Xiao in surprise, "You mean Zhou Lingyu and the others?"
Li Xiao nodded, "They know you're close to us, and if they knew you had these good things, they'd inevitably have some doubts. That woman is quite clever, she just didn't use her intelligence in the right way."
The three men present all thought to themselves, "Sun Cheng, Xiaoxiao isn't entirely wrong. You have to be careful, that woman is ruthless."
Shao Jie was also worried about Sun Cheng. After Li Xiao said that, he felt that if Sun Cheng lived here and met that woman, who knows what might happen.
Yu Yanbin also frowned deeply. "Sun Cheng, why don't you consider leaving here?"
Sun Cheng reiterated his previous stance, refusing to agree.
"Brother Cheng, how about this? We'll take you to the base in the next city, one of those big bases, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Before anyone could persuade him, Sun Cheng shook his head.
"No need, I'm doing fine here. Never mind, I won't bother. I appreciate your kindness, but I still don't need it."
Since Sun Chengdu had said so, they couldn't offer any further advice. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, and they couldn't force him.
