“Okay, then you can go.” Jiang Qiaomei agreed; she had been walking all day and was indeed exhausted.
"Keep an eye on that warehouse, there might be corpses inside." Lin Hu pointed to the warehouse he had first gone to, which might contain not only corpses, but also things like feces.
It's likely that one of the warehouse workers was inside, surviving for a while on these supplies before freezing to death in the extreme cold. This explains why Lin Hu only smelled the odor after prying open the lock; the body was probably decomposing more slowly due to the cold air.
However, he didn't say any of this, fearing he wouldn't be able to eat later.
As for which of the rest of them searched the warehouse, we'll see how strong their mental fortitude is when we eat later.
Around ten o'clock, the group finished collecting the supplies and the chicken soup was ready. Wen Mofei even asked Lin Hu to set up a new pot and cook a few bowls of noodles, which were served with chicken soup and some chili oil that Lin Hu had prepared earlier. It was absolutely delicious.

When his wife saw it, Duan Bohai returned the smile with a smile.
"I won't let you down."
He said this when he proposed to her, and he hasn't disappointed her since.
Several young people overheard the two elders' sweet talk, and aside from envy, they didn't think much of it. It was truly enviable that the two had maintained their youthful affection for so many years, going from friends and classmates to lovers and then to family.
