"Brother, come quick." Li Xiao grabbed Cheng Shaolin's arm and walked towards Tian Tian and the others.
"How are you?" Cheng Shaolin noticed that the two women didn't look well and assumed they were injured.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired," Qiu Fengyu said.
"No, they are injured, but thankfully not seriously, just external injuries."
"Oh, then let's call it 'get some rest'."
"Yeah, I'm just tired. The injury isn't serious, just a couple of scratches," Tian Tian interjected.
Cheng Shaolin nodded, "It's good that you're alright. Go back and get some rest. Rest for a while now, they should be heading back once they've finished cleaning up."
"Um."
They talked and rested. Around them were other superhumans, all slumped over and looking completely out of place.
They were all extremely tired, so they didn't care about the location; they were just grateful to have a place to rest.
They lay down to rest; they were exhausted after a long night. Some were even snoring; they were really tired.
Gradually, the sound faded away; apart from some snoring, no one spoke anymore.
Li Xiao and the others were also resting with their eyes closed. Cheng Shaolin pulled Li Xiao into his arms and let her rest against his chest.
He also kept an eye on Tian Tian and Qiu Fengyu beside him. They were both women, and it was best to be careful when things got chaotic.
When Yu Yanbin came in, he saw these people who had no regard for their appearance; they were either lying down, slouching, or leaning against something.
He lowered his eyelids, found his group's spot, and sat down next to Cheng Shaolin and the others.
Those who followed found places to sit and rest in turn, without saying a word.
They rested until noon. After discussing among the team leaders, they realized that so many zombies had killed them that all the nearby zombies had been attracted. Now there were no zombies around, so they could safely collect a batch.
If we wait until later, I wonder if any more zombies will wander over here.
It's better to take everything that can be taken away now. If we miss this opportunity, who knows when we'll have to wait again.
And so, without taking a break at noon, all the vehicles started moving, following the route back, and searching for anything useful along the way.
Without any supplies, the superhumans, who had been exhausted all night, sped up their work, eager to finish and return as quickly as possible.
Nothing excites them more than going home.
Without a word, the third brigade took the lead this time, traveling and stopping along the way. And you know what? They actually collected quite a few good things.
I found quite a few useful items in clothing stores, hidden mini-supermarkets, and small shops that went unnoticed.
This time, thanks to the absence of zombies, we collected quite a lot. With the attitude of finishing as soon as possible and going home, we were busy and having a great time.
It was past 3 p.m. when the long convoy finally started its journey back to the base.
Inside the base, the crowd who had been eagerly waiting at the entrance finally saw a car approaching.
The soldiers patrolling the city wall were the first to spot it and quickly sent word inside, urging someone to report it immediately.
The message spread like wildfire into the base, specifically into the high-rise buildings.
Base Commander Ji Weihao finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news.
His deputy, Han Zheng, was also overjoyed. "Base Commander, now that they're all back, you can rest assured."
Ji Weihai nodded slowly and said, "Yes, so many people were worried when he didn't come home all night. Now that he's gone, we can finally relax."
Han Zheng: "Yeah, I don't know what the situation is like."
"Go and see, and tell Yan Bin to come see me."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
By the time Han Zheng arrived at the base gate, the convoy had just returned.
Han Zheng watched the long convoy return and walked forward with a smile on his face.
The first to arrive was Lu Mingzhou. When he saw that it was Han Zheng, he went up to greet him.
Then other teams' cars came in, and the people got off one after another, driving directly to the parking lot.
The entrance was crowded with people, many of whom were looking for their own teams, while others were there just to join in the fun.
His absence for one night attracted a lot of attention.
Han Zheng immediately called Yan Bin, Xiang Yuping, and Lu Mingzhou to the base office building. The other teams didn't have anything to do for the time being, so they all dispersed.
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to see, the others also left.
The situation remains unclear, and those remaining at the base are unaware of any specific details; the situation is still a blank slate.
The base was still peaceful for the time being, but little did people know that a deep, massive boulder lay hidden beneath.
The Chaoyang Squad didn't care about any of that. They had finally returned to the base, so why weren't they taking a proper rest?
It's only been a day, it feels like a long time has passed.
The nine of them were lounging around without any regard for their image. Only when they got home did they realize that this was the best safe haven.
Li Xiao wasted no time and immediately took things out of the space.
Steamed buns, rice, pickled vegetables, cucumber salad, braised fish, stir-fried greens, stewed dried vegetables, and the mung bean soup I made earlier—the table was laden with food.
The people, who were already starving, couldn't contain their drooling and rumbling stomachs when they saw the food. With a loud yelp, they pounced on the table.
Li Xiao went into the kitchen and took out the bowls and chopsticks. Tian Tian quickly washed them with her superpower, and Cheng Shaolin dried them with his superpower.
What are we waiting for? Grab our chopsticks and get cooking!
There was no sound of speaking, only constant chewing and swallowing.
The nine people, whose chests were pressed against their backs, finally recovered.
They never had a chance to eat, so they went hungry.
There was no other way; nobody else had anything to eat, so how could they dare to take something to eat? That would only invite hatred.
It swept away everything like a whirlwind, leaving nothing behind.
The plates, basins, and bowls are spotless and don't need washing.
Each of them, with their bellies sticking out, slumped in their chairs, not wanting to utter a sound for a long time.
"Go to sleep, everyone. There might be things to do tomorrow. Get some rest." Yu Yanbin said, and everyone agreed and went to wash up and go to bed.
I finally made up for it with a good night's sleep.
I didn't wake up very early today; I didn't open my eyes until 6 a.m.
Li Xiao stretched, but still felt exhausted and had little energy.
Well, at least I survived.
He rolled over twice before lazily getting up.
This is probably the latest everyone is getting up. There's still no sound outside.
Li Xiao sat on the sofa, leaning back with her eyes closed, trying to rest. A short while later, she heard a very soft knock on the door.
Who is it?
"It's me, Xiao Peng."
Li Xiao got up and opened the door, letting Xiao Peng in. Looking back, she exclaimed, "Oh, everyone's here!"
Everyone found seats, and at that moment, Tian Tian and the others also got up.
Xiao Peng went into the kitchen as soon as he entered, and Li Xiao followed him in, put the things away, and then came out.
The morning is simple, there's not much to do. Actually, all you have to do is tidy up your things before you can eat.
Now that the power is out, it's not convenient to cook inside, so we can only make do with what we have.
The people living across the street sometimes peek at me, so to avoid trouble, I'd better keep a low profile.
That's all we can do for now.
