Chapter 87: Even people with special abilities cannot be treated specially
"Who is Brother Ye?" a woman asked.
"It's Captain Ye Qi!" Another girl winked at her with a meaningful teasing look.
Everyone smiled knowingly.
"What are you thinking about!" Fu Xingyuan's face turned slightly red and he scolded with a stern face.
"We didn't think anything and didn't say anything." Someone continued to joke.
Fu Xingyuan was annoyed. "If you keep doing this, I won't give you any burgers!"
"No, no, we were wrong..."
The people who made the joke apologized quickly and drooled at the sight of the burgers.
"Sister Fu, are you really going to give it to us?"
"Yes, Miss Xingyuan, this thing is very hard to find, it's too precious."
"We don't deserve anything without doing anything, so how can we eat your food for free..."
Having said that, everyone's eyes were fixed on the hamburgers, eager for them.
We are all survivors of the Tsui Wah Hotel and have not had a full meal these days. The meal of pork ribs stewed with beans and rice to celebrate the establishment of the base was the only proper meal we had recently. Almost everyone cried while eating.
But it was only that one meal. After that, the quality of the food dropped rapidly and the portions were not much. In the morning, there was rice soup with half a steamed bun, at noon, there was half a bowl of rice with pickled mustard greens, and in the evening, there was porridge.
Those who join the escort team, logistics team, etc. will get an extra portion, but it is just that the steamed bun is reduced from half to one, and the taste is bland.
There are about ten women in this room, of different ages. Only three of them are part of the logistics team. The others are mostly slightly injured and temporarily unable to work. They have no hope for food and cannot eat enough every day.
So even though the hamburger that Fu Xingyuan brought back looked dirty and deformed, it was filled with meat patties, vegetables, and cheese, and it looked so delicious.
Under everyone's eager gaze, Fu Xingyuan broke the hamburger into two halves, kept half for himself, and broke the other half into small pieces according to the number of people in the room, giving one piece to each person.
Just a small bite per person.
Some people swallowed the food as soon as it was handed to them, just like Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit. They ate it too hastily and didn't taste anything. They watched others chewing slowly and enjoying the delicious food, regretting it so much that their intestines turned green.
But if you chew slowly, you can finish a small piece quickly.
Everyone looked at Fu Xingyuan greedily as she ate her half, swallowing their saliva silently.
I dare not ask for it again.
"Thank you, Miss Xingyuan. It's really delicious."
"Yes, Sister Fu, you are such a good person."
"You are the most beautiful and the strongest among us, and you have such a kind heart. Before I met you, I didn't know there was such a perfect person in the world."
These thanks are half sincere and half flattery. I hope that next time Fu Xingyuan finds something delicious, she can share some with them.
So when the person delivering food from the base's logistics department entered the door, he saw a group of people surrounding Fu Xingyuan and giving him compliments.
Fu Xingyuan finished the last bite of the hamburger and took the lunch bucket from the delivery man.
It’s still the amount of half a bowl of rice and a few pickled mustard greens per person.
"This again?"
The delivery man said, "It's different. Last time the pickled mustard greens were from Yuquan, this time they're from Fuling."
Fu Xingyuan chuckled. After the delivery man left, she distributed the food to everyone and said, "Just make do with it for now. Brother Ye said today that we'll soon start dividing everyone into groups to go out and look for supplies. When the time comes, I'll shoulder the responsibility of an Awakener and find more and better food for everyone."
Everyone cheered and applauded.
This one said: "I want to be in a group with Sister Fu when the time comes, so it will definitely be safe when we go out!"
That person said, "Captain Ye even told Miss Xingyuan about the base construction in advance, which shows that he values Miss Xingyuan very much."
Fu Xingyuan smiled gently and said nothing amid everyone's compliments.
Just when someone joked, "Not only are they good at what they do, but Captain Ye and Sister Fu look a good match together," she embarrassedly rebuked, "Don't talk nonsense! Brother Ye is the head of the base, please respect him and don't make fun of him."
The girls in the dormitory chatted and laughed for a long time because of a hamburger.
During the nap time after dinner, Fu Xingyuan was lying on the narrow single bed, and was a little annoyed by the noise of the two snoring roommates.
A thought suddenly flashed through my mind——
As someone who has also awakened superpowers, Da Qi is undoubtedly in the seriously injured patient room. As for the others, she should have the same status as the fat man surnamed Qiao and the man surnamed Tang. In fact, she is from within the base and should have a higher status.
But Qiao and Tang both had their own private rooms, but she had to squeeze in with other women.
When Ye Qi comes back, should she ask to live alone? Living alone will help with her ability training, so Ye Qi should agree.
Or maybe she'd wait until Qiao Tang and the others left and then move into their room? When would they leave? I'd heard it would take a few days, but how many days exactly?
I fell asleep in a daze, lost in thought, and just as I was falling asleep, I was awakened by a knock on the door.
"Fu Xingyuan, Captain Ye is back and asked you to go downstairs to see him immediately." The visitor announced and left.
"There must be an important task for you." Someone in the same room who was woken up said enviously.
Fu Xingyuan quickly got out of bed, hurriedly tidied up the clothes that were wrinkled while sleeping, straightened her ponytail, and walked out quickly.
The hamburger in my pocket has been warmed by my body temperature.
"I wonder why Ye Qi is so busy meeting me?" she wondered. "Is it because of an important mission, as her roommate suggested? After all, she's one of the few psychics in the base." Or perhaps the gatekeepers had filed a complaint in advance, trying to discredit her?
Feeling a little nervous and excited, she went downstairs with the hamburger in her pocket, but she didn't see Ye Qi in the hall or the yard.
"Where is Captain Ye?" She stopped a logistics staff member who was in a hurry.
"Captain Ye? It seems...it seems like he went that way just now."
Fu Xingyuan followed the direction the other party pointed and entered the corridor next to the living room on the first floor.
There are guest rooms on both sides, which have become places for patients and wounded to recuperate. The door of each room is half open, and the air is filled with a strong smell of medicine and disinfectant.
She looked into every room but couldn't find Ye Qi.
Until we reached the innermost room.
The door of the room was closed, but a strong smell emanated from it. It wasn't the smell of medicine, but...
Fu Xingyuan had only eaten half a small hamburger and half a bowl of rice for lunch, and his stomach suddenly rumbled with hunger reflexively.
Rich aroma.
It is clearly the aroma of boiled meat.
This is the room of the fat boy named Qiao. Fu Xingyuan frowned immediately.
Everyone in the base is eating simple rice and pickled mustard greens, so why are some people here having a special meal and getting special treatment?
Knock knock.
She raised her hand and knocked on the door: "Excuse me, is Captain Ye in the room?"
The next moment the door opened by itself.
Ye Qi walked out, glanced at her, said "wait a moment", then turned to Qiao Lan in the room and said, "Thank you for your advice. I will improve the management system immediately."
"It's a small matter, you're welcome." Qiao Lan waved and said to the angel in vain.
Fu Xingyuan, who was standing outside the door, saw the leftovers on the table in the house that had not been cleared away.
Then a big bowl of red oil soup exudes a strong aroma.
Silently swallowing the saliva that automatically secreted from his mouth, Fu Xingyuan continued Ye Qi's words.
"Captain Ye, the management system really needs to be improved. People with special abilities shouldn't be treated specially." Her face was cold as she stared at the large bowl of red oil on the table. "If they don't eat the same food as everyone else and get extra meals, how can that be considered 'fair distribution of supplies'?"
