Shen Jing turned on the heater and released Vassi from the space.
She stood there for two seconds and decided to go to the bathroom to thaw out.
"Wasi, you can't look!" Shen Jing pushed away the dog's head that was blocking the door and closed the door.
Actually, Vassi was just hungry. It had been keeping a close watch on the pigs, cows, and sheep in the space and hadn't stolen any food!
"Woof!" They didn't even reward him with a chicken leg? That's ridiculous.
Ignoring Vassi's little schemes, Shen Jing took a quick shower and immediately went back to the sofa to snuggle up with the electric blanket.
Vassi followed behind her, tucking his tail under to keep warm and breathing out air as he waited to be fed.
"Knock knock knock"
A knock came at the door, which made Vassi deflate and slump back onto the sofa.
Shen Jing walked over and opened the door. "Huang Ling? What brings you here?"
She thought it was another robbery, but she didn't expect Huang Yue to be so efficient.
As soon as Huang Ling entered the door, she felt the long-lost warmth and shivered with emotion.
But she didn't ask any more questions. In fact, from the moment she entered the room, she just stared blankly at Shen Jing.
She seemed to bury even her extra curiosity deep in her heart.
Huang Ling took out a box of wafer biscuits from the inside of her clothes and said in a low voice, "My dad asked me to bring this over. He said he'll replace it with a better one when he distributes supplies later. Don't mind, okay?"
This disaster caught humanity completely off guard, and even wafer biscuits are now in short supply.
Moreover, after an avalanche occurs, any supplies are buried under the heavy snow.
Those who take chances treat avalanches like giant refrigerators.
The supplies provided by the snow are still inexhaustible.
But Shen Jing knew that a year later, the process might be even faster than in her previous life!
The unprecedented floods will take everything away, including the snow-covered supplies that humanity sees as a beacon of hope.
By that point, even if the authorities wanted to help the people, they would be powerless to do so!
Compared to the turmoil that will follow, what Shen Jing encountered a few days ago was nothing more than minor disturbances.
Shen Jing clearly remembers that even when she went to the shelter base, she couldn't get enough supplies to eat and stay warm.
Meanwhile, the teams responsible for searching for supplies had to dig them out of the snow while also guarding against attacks from behind.
The daily bleeding continued, and many disheartened members left the search team.
Those who persevered were mostly soldiers, firefighters, and medical workers filled with a sense of mission!
It's strange sometimes; once they take off their uniforms, they're just ordinary people.
"Ah Jing? Just accept it!" Huang Ling looked at Shen Jing with pleading eyes when she saw that Shen Jing was unwilling to take the wafers. "Once I can get used to collecting supplies on my own, my dad will agree to let me join the search team. Then I'll bring more than just wafers!"
Shen Jing snapped out of her daze. "Don't misunderstand, I just think this box of wafers is too expensive."
"Then you should accept it quickly," Huang Ling urged. "Let's arrange a time first, and I'll arrive at Building 10 early to wait for you, okay?"
"Okay, sure." Shen Jing took the box of cookies.
"Although I learned martial arts from my father, I only practiced it sporadically..." Huang Ling said shyly, revealing her purpose.
Huang Yue told her to learn from Shen Jing, as practical experience is the best way to improve.
But Huang Ling was really afraid of dragging Shen Jing down with her; she felt like she was just a useless teammate who was holding her back.
Shen Jing understood from her expression and teased, "How about I fight in front and you pick up the equipment in the back?"
Huang Ling was confused. How could she possibly do that? "Of course not! It's more like the other way around!"
"It's good that you're aware of this. Okay, don't overthink it."
"Okay! So when do we leave?"
"Three days later, at 4 a.m.
"Okay! No problem, wait for me! Remember to wait for me!"
Seeing that she had finally put her worries aside and was acting like an ordinary girl, Shen Jing leaned against the door and repeatedly emphasized that she should remember to wait for her.
At least on the surface, it's impossible to tell what Huang Ling had gone through before.
Shen Jing could accept having such a teammate temporarily join her team.
After Huang Ling finished speaking, she stopped bothering Shen Jing.
The warmth inside was so tempting that she patted herself, reluctant to leave.
She carefully closed the door, trying her best to prevent the warmth from leaking into the hallway.
"Take care on the road," Shen Jing said goodbye to Huang Ling.
Huang Ling didn't linger any longer. She closed the door for Shen Jing and ran home.
Since the agreement had already been made, Shen Jing would naturally keep her word. However, Huang Yue's request for Huang Ling to make the trip was also out of courtesy.
Thinking of Huang Ling's cautious demeanor earlier, Shen Jing wondered if Huang Ling was really that scary.
Lock the three security doors.
Looking at Vassi's mournful eyes, she couldn't help but pat its head.
"I clearly saved the pork chop for you," Shen Jing retorted to Vassi, sounding annoyed.
"Woof!" There's not even enough food to fill between their teeth!
Shen Jing pulled over a small table and took out garlic pork chops, sweet and sour pork, honey-glazed char siu, shredded pork with sweet bean sauce, braised lamb chops, and the last vegetable salad. The portions were all prepared by Sister Chen according to one person's appetite.
She offered the lamb chop to Vasily, saying, "There's more if that's not enough, you money-devouring beast."
Therefore, the supplies that you imagine you could never finish in a lifetime may actually be consumed more than expected for many reasons.
The most profound lesson Shen Jing learned in the apocalypse was to be prepared for danger even in times of peace, despite not having had many peaceful days in her previous life.
After finishing her meal, Shen Jing didn't even bother to rest.
She still needs to organize the layout of the space, since there are now more supplies stored by Gu Yan.
