Chapter 431 Nanjing, Nanjing
Xie Tu booked the best room.
After paying the 50-point fee, I took Yun Zhao upstairs.
Yun Zhao showed no reaction throughout.
It's not safe to be away from home, so he said he'd just stay in one room.
The room is on the third floor.
The two arrived at the door of the room and saw two sentries hurriedly mopping the floor and wiping the table inside.
People are coming up.
The sentry said somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, it'll be ready soon!"
The convoys outside are all poor.
Nobody would want to spend fifty points to stay in such a nice room.
So this room has never actually been occupied.
They clean regularly, just to avoid dust accumulation; the bed has never been made, and all their belongings have been put away.
Yun Zhao expressed his understanding, "It's alright."
Chen Feng then carried his things upstairs. In one hand he was holding a brand-new four-piece bedding set, and in the other he was holding a basin containing toiletries and two clean water cups.
"I'm sorry, the conditions outside are like this, please bear with me."
Xie Tu took the things. "Just clean it up. I'll make the bed myself."
Chen Feng didn't stand on ceremony with him and handed him the things.
That makes sense.
They were all roughnecks, and this man had his partner with him, so he probably didn't want them to touch anything on the bed.
The two sentries quickly wiped the room clean and then left.
Yun Zhao turned around and closed the door, then looked around at the room's layout.
The room was quite large, the furniture was a bit old, and it was equipped with an electric fan and a separate bathroom.
It's so hot outside, she's been wanting to take a bath for a while now.
If you miss this opportunity, who knows how many days you'll have to wait for the next one.
While Xie Tu was making the bed, Yun Zhao took out a change of clothes from his backpack, told him, and took the little bluebird into the bathroom.
The interior is also somewhat rudimentary.
The pool was paved with white tiles, and the faucet was rusty.
The little bluebird was so disgusted that it couldn't find a place to land, so it simply returned to the spiritual realm.
Yun Zhao didn't look at her too much. She took off her combat uniform, turned on the shower, and the slightly cold water poured down, taking a long time to warm up.
As the slightly warm water poured over his body, Yun Zhao sighed contentedly.
The combat suit, made of a special material, is airtight and makes wearing it extremely uncomfortable in the summer.
She planned to wear her own clothes for the rest of the journey.
However, just in case, the combat uniforms still need to be washed and packed in a bag in case it is necessary to enter the contaminated area.
After taking a shower, Yun Zhao changed into a light green short-sleeved shirt and light blue sweatpants.
She stood in front of the old washbasin, trying to wash her underwear and combat uniform herself.
However, she couldn't find the laundry detergent.
"Captain, do you have laundry detergent?" Yun Zhao asked towards the door.
The footsteps drew closer. Xie Tu stood outside the door. "You're going to wash yourself?"
Yun Zhao hummed in agreement.
Xie Tu turned around, grabbed the laundry detergent, and knocked on the bathroom door.
The door opened, and without looking much, he simply said, "I'm going to take a shower first. You can soak your clothes there, and I'll wash them later."
Yun Zhao pressed down on the small clothes in the basin with both hands and quickly shook her head, "No, no, no, I'll wash them myself."
Xie Tu seemed to understand her embarrassment and said, "I'll wash the combat uniform; I have to wash mine anyway."
Yun Zhao hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
"Wait for me a moment, I'll be done washing right away."
"good."

After all that fuss, it was already dawn.
Yun Zhao slept for several hours in the car, but she wasn't sleepy.
But Xie Tu never rested.
It's only been a day since he left the contaminated area, and his tense nerves haven't had a chance to relax. We need to make sure he gets enough rest.
There was only one bed in the room.
Yun Zhao climbed onto the bed, leaving the right side for him, and then leaned against the bed to start browsing the forum.
Xie Tu deliberately avoided looking at the small clothes drying in the bathroom. After washing their combat uniforms, he came out of the bathroom and went over to draw the heavy curtains.
The room was plunged into darkness.
Only Yun Zhao's communicator screen emitted a faint blue light.
He didn't turn on the light, lifted the covers and got into bed, pointing at her communicator, "I can't sleep with the light on."
Sentinels have keen senses.
Yun Zhao knew this, of course, so he quickly turned off the screen and lay down on the bed.
Xie Tu pulled her into his arms and kissed her forehead. "Go to sleep."
Yun Zhao didn't dare to move. She wasn't sleepy at first, but being held like this by him made her drift off to sleep.

The two woke up at noon.
Xie Tu borrowed the sentries' kitchen and made her favorite claypot rice with preserved meat.
The smell made the sentries incredibly hungry.
The sentries stood around the kitchen doorway.
One of the young sentries couldn't resist moving closer, sniffing the air, and exclaimed, "This smell...it's so delicious! You even brought out preserved meat, how extravagant!"
“We won’t be able to go back to our posts until next month. There are too many mutants around here. We can’t even see any mutated animals. We can’t even get meat once a month,” another sentry sighed.
Chen Feng came over and pulled these shameful guys aside.
He coughed lightly, "Did you bring a lot of meat? Could you sell us some? We can treat the brothers to a meal."
The sentries were somewhat excited upon hearing this.
The boss is still the most reliable!
Xie Tu turned the fire down and glanced at him. "One hundred and fifty per catty."
Chen Feng: "..." The room rate is only fifty yuan per night.
Chen Feng gritted his teeth, "Give me two jin!"
Xie Tu returned to the car and cut two jin of cured meat for them.
The sentries opened fire with great joy, discussing how to eat and cook such a small piece of meat.
Xie Tu observed this and, while waiting for the food to cook, inquired about the situation at the nearby refugee camps.
Having established a friendship based on two pounds of cured meat, the sentries were open and honest with each other.
According to them.
There were two refuge camps within Nanjing.
One place was larger, with several thousand people, while the other was smaller, with only four hundred or so.
"The larger one is called Qinhuai Camp, and the smaller one is called Qixia Camp. The two refuge camps are not too far apart. People from the base had previously conducted investigations and found that they were descendants of people who escaped from the occupied shelters."
Chen Feng paused for a moment, then continued, "The fallen Shelter No. 5 is also there, now less than 100 kilometers away. Our base's assessment team has given it a five-star danger level."
The shelter he referred to was not the contaminated area number, but rather the number of the large shelters established by the state back then.
Nanjing ranked fifth.
The fall occurred a century later, and the birthplace was not located within the shelter.
According to those who lived there, the contaminated area was very close to the shelter at the time, and the shelter organized the evacuation of its staff.
But too many people don't want to leave their homeland, much less migrate to other places in the danger of darkness, where they might lose their lives along the way.
Therefore, some people did not leave Nanjing.
Instead, they chose to stay away from the polluted area and seek refuge in water sources and sturdy buildings.
Over the course of a century, they migrated several times before finally settling back in the city, settling in Qinhuai Camp.
As for the smaller one, it was passed down by the local people themselves, and also by some descendants who fled there to seek refuge.
"The location there wasn't ideal either; they only discovered that there were contaminated areas on three sides after the sun reappeared."
Chen Feng said, "Our base once organized people to eliminate a contaminated area. It was Fu who led the team, which gave them some breathing room."
