"Are we going to walk instead of drive?" one of them frowned and said, "Our supplies are all in the vehicles. If we walk, we'll definitely have to give up a lot of supplies. These were all painstakingly found by the people at the base."
Just by listening, you can tell that this person is reluctant to part with it.
Not only him, but everyone else was the same.
It's been a year since the apocalypse began, and supplies are becoming increasingly hard to find. Losing these vehicles and supplies for nothing is infuriating.
Some of the impatient ones got angry: "Are those three squads out of their minds? Just a while ago, the base issued a notice telling us not to go far, not to go far, to prepare for winter. Those three squads acted like they were deaf, harming themselves and others!"
His words drew discontent from many in the crowd. Many echoed his sentiments, and even those who remained silent displayed impatience.
"Now is not the time to talk about these things."
Han Junche said, "Besides, their intentions were good. There was no weather forecast, and this snow came unexpectedly. Not everyone could have predicted it. Since we came out to rescue people, we shouldn't have such resentful thoughts."
Han Junche held immense prestige in the base; the moment he spoke, the complainers immediately fell silent.
After a moment of silence, someone broke the deadlock: "Captain Han, what do we do now?"
Han Junche had anticipated this scenario before setting off. He said, "The snow is quite loose now, so we can just use wind-based abilities to disperse it. All the cars must remain running, and everyone in each car should be prepared to take turns driving."
"There is enough food and water. Every two hours, we will give everyone a break to take care of personal matters. We will start timing now. In half an hour, we will continue our journey."
Chi Xia felt a little embarrassed. In order to take care of the female colleagues, Han Junche did not include any women when he was selecting people.
She was the only woman in the entire team.
Humans eat grains and other foods, so there must be intake and output. When a group of grown men walk together and go a little further, one of them will turn his back and start relieving himself.
They didn't care, but Chi Xia was a woman all alone, with nothing around her to shield her from the embarrassment. She felt so awkward she wanted to pick her toes.
Chi Xia's bladder was starting to give out.
Her face flushed red. She looked down at her feet, waiting for the men to return so she could find a secluded spot to relieve herself.
Han Junche turned to look at her: "Do you want to go and handle this? I'll cover for you?"
Hearing this, Chi Xia blushed even more: "No, no need, I'll go when they come back."
“I’m afraid that won’t work.” Han Junche said calmly, “Look around, it’s all open space, there’s not even a tree to shelter you. Besides, time is precious. If we wait for you, it will take up a lot of time, and the road will be even more difficult to travel then.”
He looked very serious, and what he said was reasonable and well-founded.
Chi Xia looked around and saw that it was indeed boundless.
She is someone who doesn't want to cause trouble for others, and even less willing to delay the team's progress because of her.
After hesitating for a moment, Chi Xia blushed and nodded in agreement.
Han Junche led Chi Xia in a direction no one went, and after walking a long way, they stopped in a low-lying area.
Chi Xia used fire to dig a hole in the snow. Han Junche gentlemanly walked a meter forward, turning his back to her to block the view from outside: "I'll block it from here."
Chi Xia blushed, responded, walked into the circle, looked into the distance, then looked at Han Junche's back before taking off her pants and squatting down.
