Jiang Yanxin supported the dazed girl and fed her antipyretic medicine. Several people were waiting by the side. Jiang Wanning and the others had already prepared the meal in the RV. Yiyi opened the door and asked Chen Wan and the others to go eat first. Chen Wan saw that the girl had not woken up yet, so he thought about eating first and bringing some hot rice to Wei Siyu and the others. After all, there was too much meat in the octopus, and the quality of the meat would deteriorate if it was kept in the freezer.
As soon as Chen Wan entered the RV, he smelled the delicious aroma of octopus. Jiang Wanning was the chef today. She made octopus fried rice, with octopus meat mixed with rice. The sweet aroma of fish meat accompanied by the taste of carbohydrates made people want to eat a few more bowls.
Before dinner, Chen Wan steamed another pot of rice and explained, "This is for Wei Siyu and that girl. I'll get them some octopus meat after they finish eating."
Jiang Yanxin nodded and said, "If it's really like what Wei Siyu said, that place called 'tomorrow' shouldn't exist at all."
"Yeah, those are all high school students. How could those beasts do such a thing to them?" Chen Wan thought and felt bad.
"I'm going too." Shen Mingyan interrupted.
Chen Wan turned his head and glanced at Shen Mingyan, understanding what she meant. "Okay, but that girl has to stay here and rest. We'll see if Wei Siyu and the others want to go with us. I can tell that all four of them are psychics."
"Yeah." Shen Mingyan nodded.
After the group had finished their meal, Chen Wan braved the rain and took a lot of octopus meat from a large refrigerated truck. The rice was almost ready, but the vegetables they had grown were not ready yet, so they could only use pickled mustard greens as a side dish, stir-fry them with the octopus in a frying pan, and finally pour in the rice. Chen Wan filled five large bowls of fried rice, found a plastic bag he had picked up from the supermarket and covered the bowls with it, and they carried them to the convenience store together.
The girl's fluid was almost finished. Chen Wan handed the bowl to Wei Siyu, "You two should eat something first. This is the mutant octopus meat we caught last night. It tastes good."
Wei Siyu and her friends came from other provinces, and they only had two packs of compressed biscuits left, which they had just fed the girl. When Chen Wan and the others went back to eat, none of them mentioned being hungry, but in fact, they had not eaten much since the day before yesterday. As for this convenience store, all the edible things had been cleared out long ago.
"How can I do this? I'm already very grateful for your help in treating this girl. In the apocalypse, supplies are precious, so you should keep them for yourselves." Wei Siyu was hungry, but she felt it was too embarrassing to ask for other people's things since they had only just met by chance.
This bowl of rice can often save a life.
"You're welcome. We know this child, and I wanted to save her myself. Let's eat quickly. Maybe we need to go to stock up together later." Chen Wan said with a smile.
"Delivering goods?" Wei Siyu asked doubtfully.
"Yes, this place called 'Tomorrow' shouldn't exist. When the child wakes up later, we'll ask him about the details. We're going to 'Tomorrow' to take a look." Chen Wan said calmly, as if going to the "Tomorrow" shelter was the same as going for a walk.
"You're going to tomorrow? But there are only a few of you?" Wei Siyu was also shocked by Chen Wan's idea. The four of them were all people with superpowers, but they didn't dare to go to "tomorrow" like this.
"If we go, we should go together as five people." Chen Wan remained calm. This time, what they were going to do was dangerous, and Chen Wan still didn't plan to take Jiang Wanning with him. After all, that 'tomorrow' sounded like a den of wolves. Jiang Wanning hadn't awakened her special abilities yet, so it was too dangerous to follow them.
Wei Siyu gritted her teeth as if she was thinking about something, and after a moment she said, "Okay, the three of us will go together, and Lili will stay to take care of the girl."
"Okay, let's eat quickly. I'll go take out the needle." Chen Wan looked up and saw that the bag of glucose was almost empty. She pulled out the needle for the girl and pressed the back of her hand.
After the girl drank the medicine and received an IV drip, her body gradually regained strength and she opened her eyes slightly, but her face was still a little pale.
She noticed that the woman next to her was not wearing the same clothes as the woman who had saved her before. She shook her head and refocused her gaze on Chen Wan. When she saw Chen Wan's face clearly, the girl's pale face finally showed a little joy, and even her eyes turned red.
"Sister? You are the sister who helped us at the highway service area." The girl started crying as she spoke.
Chen Wan hurried to comfort him: "It's me. I didn't expect to see you again. What happened to you two? And what about this 'tomorrow' you mentioned?"
Jiang Yanxin and Shen Mingyan also hurried over to comfort the girl. When the girl saw that Jiang Yanxin was an Omega, she leaned on Jiang Yanxin's arms and cried.
For a moment, the only sound in the convenience store was the girl's sobbing, but Chen Wan and the others completely understood. After all, children of this age were still in school before the apocalypse. They were basically carefree children and there was no way they would encounter so many bad things.
The girl Chen Wan and the others met was Qiao Shirui. She cried for a while, then recalled what happened to her in "Tomorrow" before speaking through gritted teeth: "The five of us
Not long after we arrived at the gymnasium, the military began transferring people in batches to the largest base in Bunan City, claiming it would facilitate unified management. Since there were so many students, we were all assigned to the same area of the base. Although the base was chaotic, at least there were soldiers guarding the student accommodations, so we had a few days of peace and quiet. Although we didn't have enough to eat, we were still safe.
Qiao Shirui paused briefly, tears already streaming down her face. She took a deep breath and continued, "Then the base was attacked and lost by zombies. The senior military officers abandoned the base. A few of us, along with two seniors from our school, found two cars and fled Bunan City. We heard that Jing City had the largest survivor base in the country, so we drove south."
Seeing that she was having difficulty speaking and her lips were cracked and bleeding, Chen Wan unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and handed it to her, motioning her to drink a few sips before continuing.
Qiao Shirui was so weak that she couldn't even hold the water bottle. Jiang Yanxin took the bottle for Qiao Shirui and helped her pick it up. He fed her a few sips, and Qiao Shirui felt a little better before continuing, "We arrived in Jeolla City and met other refugees. We learned that there's a civilian survivor shelter called 'Tomorrow'. Everyone yearns to go there, saying that everyone is equal there, and everyone is fighting to re-establish order. We happened to be out of food at the time, so we followed many people into 'Tomorrow'. But as soon as we entered, we realized something was wrong. Almost everyone inside had a heavy look on their faces. Without supplies and crystal cores to exchange for food, they would have to do a lot of heavy work every day. There were also almost no young Omegas on the streets. It was a kind-hearted old lady who told us that Omegas should hide quickly to avoid unnecessary trouble."
The more Qiao Shirui spoke, the more solemn her tone became. By the time she finished speaking, her whole body was shaking. "The squad leader, Li Yue, and Fatty, the three alphas, were doing the hardest labor at 'Tomorrow' to barely keep us fed. At first, the two seniors also suffered with us. One day, a lot of outsiders suddenly came to where we lived. Those people were armed with guns and came in to take me and Zhao Jingjing away. Behind those people, I saw Gong Yu and Wang Mingxuan, the two seniors who were with us. They were the ones who revealed our location in exchange for not having to do hard labor anymore and staying with Mingfeng and Mingjue as thugs. Fatty didn't let them take us away, and Mingfeng shot him twice, breaking his kneecap. They also asked Gong Yu and Wang Mingxuan to chop Fatty with knives, and those two beasts did the same..."
At the end of the story, Qiao Shirui almost fainted. Her companions turned against her and killed the fat man, while she and Zhao Jingjing were taken away and insulted. Mingfeng
The two brothers, He Mingjue, were not human beings at all. After they had abused her and Zhao Jingjing, they had no interest in them anymore, so they took them to the "Tomorrow" nightclub to accompany customers, beating and scolding them at every turn. Li Yue and the squad leader went to ask for them back several times, but were beaten up every time. Qiao Shirui didn't know how they were doing now.
As for herself, she fainted from exhaustion while entertaining a customer. The people in that nightclub thought she would not live long because it was too unlucky. She and several other Omegas who had been insulted to death were dragged to the garbage station outside by a trailer. She struggled to crawl out of the garbage station to seek help. If her companions were not still suffering inside, Qiao Shirui would not have wanted to live after encountering these things. It was her friends who kept her going until now.
Qiao Shirui gritted her teeth and slowly opened her wound to everyone. She finally stopped crying. With red eyes, she looked at Chen Wan and Qin Ke, "Sister Chen Wan, I know you are both very capable people. I saw you dealing with so many zombies at the service area that day. I beg you, can you help me save Jingjing and the others? I will do anything you ask me to do. Seriously."
Qiao Shirui's face turned even paler because she had said so much, and she was sobbing so hard that she almost had no strength left.
Chen Wanguang was already furious just by listening to this, and consoled him, "Just take good care of yourself, and we'll go get all your friends out."
"Sisters, thank you. I am so lucky to have met you." Qiao Shirui burst into tears.
Chen Wan sighed and continued, "Does the base have any requirements for those who enter? For example, weapons or something. Also, do you know where the laboratory is?"
"You have to hand in your weapons when you enter 'Tomorrow', but you can bring in food and other things. As for the laboratory, it is in the building where Mingfeng and Mingjue live. They have a power generation device, and the building is full of cameras." Qiao Shirui heard this when she was accompanying guests in a nightclub. At that time, the only thing she thought about was to listen to more information so that she could get out alive and avenge the fat man.
"Okay, then you should get some rest and we'll get ready to go."
"Lili will stay and take care of you. Don't worry, nothing will happen to you." Wei Siyu also came to comfort her.
Back in the RV, Chen Wan, Ye Lan, and Jiang Zhaoyuan gave some instructions. They, along with Jiang Wanning, would stay behind to take care of the pups. Now that they had four more mutant dogs, Chen Wan wasn't worried about their safety in the RV.
