Chapter 73: Fight for What You Should Fight For
Before Pang Zhenggong arrived in the wasteland, he was doing search and rescue excavation work.
It is a non-profit organization, and the salary mainly comes from donations from cooperation with celebrity charities.
There are no natural or man-made disasters, such as earthquakes and shipwrecks.
Celebrity charities will hire them to promote the stars' selfless dedication and help the authorities with excavation and search and rescue operations.
But they are a professional excavation team.
Therefore, in the wasteland, he and his teammates were able to rely on their professional digging skills to repeatedly find more food than others.
At the beginning, they were united and worked together with Captain Qiao to save many people during the apocalyptic disaster.
Everyone was excited and fought together against the apocalyptic disaster.
When did the nature begin to change?
Pang Zhenggong herself didn't know.
It probably started from the time that every time their team dug up food, it was snatched up immediately, leaving nothing for them.
Or perhaps, the survivors they dug out were clearly still breathing, but no family members claimed them and took them home for treatment.
In the wasteland, there are too many reasons to abandon faith.
The members of Pang Zhenggong's excavation team have always been the treasures that various teams are vying for.
If Pang Zhenggong doesn't go along, the value of the team will be greatly reduced.
Of course, the excavation team had a lot of opinions about Pang Zhenggong.
But Pang Zhenggong had no choice, he didn't want to leave.
Without the Qiaoxia team, his wife and children would be in danger.
But if he doesn't leave, he will have to stand on his own in the future.
There will be no teammates from the excavation team to fight alongside him anymore.
The difficulty for him to go out and dig for supplies will be many times greater than before.
At least he didn't have those professional digging tools.
In the yard of the Shi family.
Pang Zhenggong watched Shi Yaoyao and Pang Ziyuan unpack the mushrooms grown by dozens of children and place them one by one in the shade in the corner of the yard.
The two children held two bottles of water in their hands and watered the mushroom boxes one by one.
There was an innocent look on Pang Ziyuan's skinny face.
"Yaoyao, we'll be able to eat mushrooms in a few days."
Shi Yaoyao nodded happily.
"Well, eat mushrooms, eat mushrooms."
She clapped her hands, stood up and spun around in circles, spinning and spinning.
Shi Yuebai frowned, raised the long stick in his hand, and tapped Shi Yaoyao's waist.
“Don’t go around in circles.”
It has been two months since Shi Xiangrui arrived.
Shi Yaoyao undergoes subtle, invisible changes every day.
It was very difficult for him to express himself in words at the beginning, but now he can speak long sentences clearly.
Her previous constant shaking of her head became much less frequent and developed into spinning in circles.
Shi Yuebai had never studied medicine, so he didn't know what Shi Yaoyao's bad habit was.
But as soon as she saw Shi Yaoyao shaking her head and turning around, she would raise her hand to stop her.
Otherwise, Yaoyao would get dizzy from spinning around.
Pang Zhenggong looked at the supplies in the yard and the peaceful and satisfied expressions on the faces of the Shi and Pang families.
The worries in his heart were also swept away.
I am more determined to stay here.
Yes, he did nothing wrong.
Return to the walls of our home with Ah Hong.
The wall here has been erected. Ah Hong acted quickly and within a few days, she had surrounded the Pang family with a wall.
"Yuebairen is quite nice. Although she seems fierce on weekdays, she is very generous."
Ah Hong kept mumbling while sorting the food in the tent.
"I couldn't find suitable stones for a while, so I asked Yuebai to borrow a few red bricks. She agreed without hesitation."
The red bricks that Shi Yuebai used to build the wall were all exchanged for food from the Shi family.
After the pile of red bricks blocked the Shi family's house, there was still a small pile left.
Shi Yuebai usually didn't even bother to take a look at them. When Ah Hong asked Shi Yuebai to borrow them, she asked Ah Hong to take them all out.
So that there can be a piece of land in the Shi family's yard.
Shi Yuebai's generosity towards his own people is heartwarming.
Pang Zhenggong helped Ah Hong clean up the food in the tent.
"It's so much better for you to be with the Shi family than with any other team."
At least now the Pang family has a wall and a lot of food that they can't finish eating.
That’s right, Pang Zhenggong is quite good at scavenging. Ah Hong brings back four potatoes and two bottles of water every day.
Pang Ziyuan was also at Shi's house, eating his fill every day.
The three members of the Pang family lived like this. Not only was there enough food to eat, but there was also a lot of it piled up.
Looking at the mountain of potatoes in the tent, and the boxes of instant noodles, crisp noodles, mineral water, and vacuum-packed spicy noodles that Pang Zhenggong had scavenged in the corner,
An unprecedented sense of security filled Pang Zhenggong's heart.
He said to Ah Hong with a firm look,
"I plan to split up with Acheng and the others and share all the search and rescue excavation tools."
Professional search and rescue excavation tools are of great help to scavengers.
Ah Hong paused, turned her clean face around and looked at Pang Zhenggong.
After a while, she said,
“That’s fine, they’re fine too.”
Ah Hong actually knows every member of Pang Zhenggong's search and rescue excavation team.
Before the wasteland, everyone was a very nice person and would greet her with a smile and call her "sister-in-law".
Things changed afterwards. In an environment of lack of food and scarcity of supplies, the selfishness and evil that were stripped out of people's hearts could be infinitely magnified.
I don’t know when it started, but Pang Zhenggong’s teammates looked at Ah Hong and Pang Ziyuan in a different way.
Full of disgust and boredom.
They seemed to be looking at two burdens who were wondering why they didn't just die.
In fact, Ah Hong also thought about whether to tell Pang Zhenggong’s teammates about the current situation.
It's nice here, there's water, potatoes, and even mushrooms.
As long as we are together and unite, things will gradually get better.
Just like the Pang family.
The Pang family now has enough food to last for several months.
But she didn't dare to gamble.
After all, the Pang family had an experience where someone borrowed all their food and almost starved Pang Ziyuan to death.
What's more, when Pang Zhenggong's teammates persuaded Pang Zhenggong to leave the Qiaoxia team.
Nor have I considered it from Ah Hong and Pang Ziyuan's perspective.
Separation is the best situation now.
"Don't tell them about the Shi family."
Ah Hong instructed Pang Zhenggong.
She looked at Pang Zhenggong with a pair of worried eyes.
"I know you're all brothers and you used to have a good relationship, but don't test people's hearts."
"Also, we must fight for what we should fight for. Yuebai values loyalty and values very much."
She was telling Pang Zhenggong that she should either remain loyal to Shi Yuebai, absolutely loyal.
Treat Shi Yuebai as loyal as faith.
Either show your own value and prove that you are useful.
Pang Zhenggong must get a good, practical digging tool.
Pang Zhenggong nodded, "I understand. I want to get the Snake Eyes detector from the team."
The search and rescue excavation tools in their team now fall into five categories: detection, demolition, lighting, communication, and protection.
They are all public property of the team.
If we go our separate ways, we'll take these tools with us.
This morning, my stomach started to cramp. I was speechless. Why would the fat on my stomach cramp?
