Zhou Fang told everyone that the first floor of the dormitory had been converted into a canteen and dining room, and the courtyard could be used to park the RVs and trucks they had brought.
Their dormitories are on the second, third, and fourth floors.
If Qiao An'an and the others are willing to come and stay, the fifth floor can be reserved for them to live in separately, and the top and sixth floors can be converted into rooms for Dr. Qin to store medical equipment and medicines. Freezers and the like are readily available. These days, they have collected a lot of solar panels from various supermarkets and installed them on the windows of each dormitory room. The electricity is enough to support the operation of freezers and small household appliances.
Now everyone thinks this place is great.
As they prepared to vote, Shen Zhou finally couldn't help but ask, "If we stay, won't it implicate these students?"
Chen Zhou's words reminded everyone.
The main reason they wanted to go to the mountains behind the residential area was because Qin Chengguo and his group said that the capital had sent drones to the prison to monitor them in advance.
The drones in the capital city didn't spot them in the prison, so they'll definitely be searching for them.
No matter how well they hide, they will be found.
They chose the mountains and forests behind the residential area because it was full of tall trees and forests, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack even if their traces were discovered in the capital.
Most importantly, this is a feud between them and the capital city, and there's no need to involve these innocent college students.
Even though everyone was satisfied with the place, they still decided to leave in the end. When Qiao An'an told Zhou Fang the result, Zhou Fang jumped up from her seat despite her leg injury: "Why?"
Qiao An'an and the others didn't plan to tell Zhou Fang and the others about the children, since it was all just speculation. They simply said it wasn't convenient for them to stay: "This place isn't suitable for us..."
They simply underestimated the enthusiasm of the college students.
After hearing that Qiao An'an and her group didn't want to stay and insisted on leaving, all these people came to demand an explanation: "Tell us what's wrong with this place for you, and we'll change it!!!"
Regardless of what Qiao An'an and the others say.
These college students wouldn't let them leave.
Left with no other choice, Qiao An'an and her friends had to voice their concerns. They said that although they had no evidence, the hundred children rescued in the capital were definitely suspicious. Now, the capital had sent drones to monitor them, and they were worried that staying would threaten the safety of their classmates: "You are doing very well here, but if we really stay, we will implicate you."
In Zhou Fang's mind, the status of the Imperial Capital Safe Zone was far lower than that of Qiao An'an and her group.
If it weren't for Qiao An'an and the others helping to clear the zombies from the campus, lending them their car to find seeds and farming tools, and teaching them how to hunt, dig wild taro, and pick wild fruits in the back mountain, they would have starved to death long ago.
What's more, Qiao An'an and her group later risked their lives to destroy the underwater laboratory.
In their eyes, Qiao An'an and the others are heroes.
Young people are not as mercenary as adults.
They were straightforward and only concerned with right and wrong, and were furious at the shameless behavior of the capital city. They declared that they were not afraid of being implicated and that Qiao An'an and the others had to stay: "If you don't stay, we will follow you wherever you go!"
Zhou Fang and the others spoke very sincerely.
Grandpa Gu also thought it was worth staying: "I think it's not a bad idea for us to stay. If the children we rescued in the capital really are Dr. Yu and his team with brain transplants, then they will not only be targeting us, but all the survivors. These children look young and strong, but they may not be able to fight. It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. If we stay, we can help them become stronger."
Qiao An'an felt that Grandpa Gu wanted to stay, so his words were less self-serving, but they weren't entirely unreasonable.
If that day really comes.
Learning some martial arts skills for self-defense would be good: "It's not entirely out of the question..."
At first, Shen Zhou was only worried that it would implicate the children, but now that the children had said so, he couldn't say anything more.
Seeing that Chen Zhou and the others agreed to stay, Zhou Fang and the others were very happy. While busy tidying up the rooms for Qiao An'an and the others, they also prepared a sumptuous dinner to welcome them: "Xiao Xue's spicy rabbit head and cumin lamb are amazing. You'll have a feast tonight."
The "Xiaoxue" Zhou Fang mentioned is actually named Han Xue. She's a student at the neighboring agricultural college. To be honest, her face is incredibly fair, and her gentle demeanor gives off an air of refined elegance. She also has two dimples when she smiles, making her very beautiful.
She's not only beautiful, but her cooking is also really delicious.
Everyone couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "This is the best spicy rabbit head I've ever eaten!"
In addition to spicy rabbit heads and cumin lamb, Zhou Fang and his team also prepared lamb spine hot pot, with the side dishes being fresh vegetables and mushrooms picked from the rooftop garden, and even handmade fish balls.
Ya Ya was very interested in the fish balls and ate two in a row, saying, "Delicious!"
Seeing that the atmosphere had reached this point, Li Jianguo took out his treasured liquor. While pouring the wine, he specifically asked Zhou Fang and the others, "Are you all adults now?"
Zhou Fang and the others said, "We're all college students. Have you ever seen a college student who is a minor?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jianguo said with great pride, "How could I not have seen it? My little Yu got into the university's gifted youth program before she even reached adulthood!"
The words "our little fish" made Chi Xiaoyu, who was engrossed in her meal, pause for a moment. It was as if she was telling her mother in the afterlife that she was now a child loved by her family, and that she had more than one family member who loved her.
The group ate, drank, and chatted in the cafeteria on the first floor of the dormitory.
In the end, all the children were so sleepy that Qiao An'an took Ya Ya and Chi Xiaoyu upstairs to sleep, Fang Yuyang carried Nian Qiao back to her room, and the elderly Grandpa Gu led Gu Bei and Ye Jing to rest early. Only Yan Ling, Qin Chengguo, Chen Zhou, Li Jianguo and their classmates were left in the restaurant, and the conversation turned into Li Jianguo bragging.
The students listened with great interest as Li Jianguo recounted their experiences.
Yan Ling couldn't bear to watch Li Jianguo brag anymore, so he urged Chen Zhou to drag him back.
Shen Zhou also felt that Li Jianguo had drunk a bit too much, so he reached out to pull Li Jianguo away.
Li Jianguo had already been dragged up the stairs between the first and second floors, but he struggled to run back. He saw a car downstairs and a lot of food and water in the building. He knew that these were things they had risked going out to find. He couldn't understand why these people, who dared to risk going out to find supplies, didn't go home and reunite with their families.
I couldn't help but ask, "You all must have parents and relatives, right? Why don't you go home?"
Zhou Fang sighed before saying, "After the communication was restored, we all tried to contact our families. Only three classmates were able to reach their families. Those of us who stayed behind have either lost contact with our families or already know about their family members' deaths..."
