The teams for handing in points and handing in food were separate, so Bai Yanjun had no choice but to join the team handing in food.
On their way back, Bai Yanjun had already given his two leaves to Lin Daiyu. Now, there was only a leaf he found in the morning and a piece of茭白 he found in the afternoon in his backpack.
Shen Tangtang had no intention of exposing them. Bai Yanjun was actually in the same group as them, and other scavengers also did this. They would let their friends who paid points to take the bus carry most of the goods, and they would carry a small amount.
The mercenary team in charge of the mission didn't say much, because there were requirements for using points to take the bus. If the weight exceeded 100 kilograms, half a kilogram would be kept for every kilogram over the limit, so it was a profit anyway.
"Name and age?"
"Shen Tangtang, 17 years old."
"Okay, your name is on it. Weigh the bag. ...36 pounds...Okay, go ahead!"
The mercenary in charge of registration and weighing also put the bag of sugar in the bag and asked her to get in the car.
"Lin Daiyu, 17 years old."
Lin Daiyu was standing at the back and handed the bag over. The mercenary lifted it and smiled.
Place on the scale.
"110 jin, that's 10 jin more than the normal weight. We'll give you 5 jin. Okay, your name is on the list, so get on!"
The mercenary bared his teeth and put the leaves he had just cut onto the bracelet for testing.
[The test result shows that the radiation value is 38%, which means it is edible.]
The sound of detection rang out, attracting the attention of people around.
Shen Tangtang looked out of the car in confusion, only to see Lin Daiyu’s face looking very ugly.
Lin Daiyu now wanted to cut the mercenaries into pieces. He was violating the regulations. Although they needed to be retested, the sound had to be turned off to protect the safety of every scavenger.
Shen Tangtang and Lin Daiyu got on the bus quickly, and Bai Yanjun was behind the other team in line.
Because Lin Daiyu's food exceeded the weight, 5 kilograms of leaves were cut off.
Lin Daiyu and Bai Yanjun thought that they would not exceed it, so they did not ask Shen Tangtang to help. At this moment, Lin Daiyu’s face looked very ugly.
Because it was impossible to reduce these 5 kilograms from Bai Yanjun's two leaves, he marked them and did not mention any compensation.
Shen Tangtang finally realized why Bai Yanjun put his leaves at the bottom. It turned out that this was what he was trying to prevent.
As expected, the protagonist will do anything when he is at his lowest point. She remembered that the protagonist was a philanthropist in the middle and late stages, and the heroine was even a grain tycoon.
I felt a little sympathetic, but didn't know what to say, so I could only stand in the car holding my sack and turn to look at the excitement outside.
Every time the scavengers had to hand over one-third of their food, it felt like cutting their own flesh.
It would be fine if they didn’t get food, but after actually getting food, who would resign themselves to their fate and share the food they worked so hard for? This is simply taking their lives.
Now there was an old man outside the car who was throwing a tantrum and refusing to give food. The mercenary in charge of weighing raised his hand, and the two mercenaries next to him came forward and asked the old man to move aside, saying that time could not be wasted.
Shen Tangtang silently retracted her gaze and looked at Lin Daiyu who lowered her eyes. She took the initiative to move over and help her block the gazes of those around her.
"Thank you, Tangtang."
Lin Daiyu spoke in a low voice.
Her tone was a little hoarse, and it was obvious that she was very scared.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Shen Tangtang hugged her, put the bag of food in the middle so that no one else could see it, and then gently comforted her.
Lin Daiyu has some little thoughts of her own, but she is quite nice to herself. How could she really let her little sister be bullied?
Now she should have seen through Bai Yanjun's intentions, and she shouldn't be bullied as badly as in the novels anymore!
The bus was crowded and finally set off.
With the sound of excessive weight and creaking, the bus headed back towards the safe city.
Because the road conditions were not very good, people were pushing each other from time to time, making a lot of noise all the way.
An older sister who was taken advantage of was not at all cowardly. She slapped the man behind her in the face and said, "Fuck you! How dare you pinch my butt!"
"I didn't. How could you hit someone casually?"
The man was also very wronged. Anyone would be angry if they were slapped for no reason, let alone him, a man.
As he said that, the man also slapped her. He had no problem not hitting women. "Here I am, with your figure, I would be disgusted if I touched you."
"you……"
The woman who was slapped put down the bag in her hand and turned around to continue fighting.
"What's the arguing back there?"
The mercenary standing in front roared, and everyone fell silent instantly.
The woman glared at the man fiercely, picked up her bag, and squeezed her legs together.
An old lady with a dark complexion nearby gave him a pity look. She wanted to take advantage of the chaos to grab some food, but it seemed she had no chance.
Shen Tangtang watched this scene calmly. The elder sister’s butt was pinched by the old lady, and the man behind her was indeed wronged.
He and Lin Daiyu held the bag tightly in their hands, ignoring the vague gazes from the people around them.
The journey was smooth. They must be afraid of the mercenaries, so no one caused trouble anymore.
When I got off the bus, I saw several leaders of the concentration camp organizing people in front.
Seeing Shen Tangtang and Lin Daiyu coming with sacks on their shoulders, the person in charge, Wang Ma, almost had wrinkles on her face from laughing.
"Tangtang, Daiyu, it looks like you guys have a good harvest today."
"Hello, Aunt Wang. We didn't harvest anything, just a few leaves." Lin Daiyu greeted Aunt Wang excitedly. Now that he was back in the safe city, he was no longer afraid of the stares from people around him and felt a lot more relaxed.
Shen Tangtang ignored the scrutiny of Wang Ma, the person in charge, and lined up at the back carrying the sack and pulling Lin Daiyu.
It takes half an hour to get from here to the orphanage concentration camp. If the two of them go there alone, they might be robbed when passing through the shantytown. It is safer to follow the main group.
"It's good to get some leaves. Some of the kids didn't find anything and they just eat for free."
Mother Wang spat. If the higher-ups hadn't paid more attention to the orphanage for its future and provided annual support, the orphans the orphanage organized to go out and look for food alone wouldn't be able to feed the remaining children.
Shen Tangtang concealed her emotions, pulled Lin Daiyu who was about to say something, and quickly found a place to sit down.
The children who were secretly ridiculed by Wang Ma shrank back, as if this could help them avoid Wang Ma's disdain.
Another person in charge glanced at the child hiding in the corner and said to Wang Ma, "Alright, stop talking. Is it really that easy to find food?"
"I didn't say anything about you, why are you so excited?"
Mother Wang rolled her eyes and walked towards the newly stopped bus with her sturdy waist.
This is a car coming back from the south. Several new scavengers are covered in blood. It is obvious that they have encountered mutant beasts.
"What's going on? Oh, this is a serious injury. Can this person be saved?"
"It's horrible. He has no arms left."
