95 Work Together to Bring Everyone Back

These women's supplies had been robbed. They could have just killed him directly to avoid future trouble, or they could just swallow their anger. It would never be too late for revenge. However, they did not do any of that. They kept cursing and swearing as if they wanted to vent their anger, but, in fact, they were secretly bringing trouble to themselves and their companions.

Du Yue did not hate cold and emotionless people, nor did she hate those who did things ruthlessly. After all, it was not easy for anyone to survive in an apocalyptic world. So, as long as they did not hurt others, they could make any choice they wanted. But what she hated the most was people without brains.

This was especially true for those who were not capable but were still self-righteous.

Du Yue shifted her gaze away from the few of them and no longer cared about their argument. She shifted her gaze to He Xing's face subconsciously. The group of people had been making a lot of noise, but He Xing had not moved at all. His breathing was calm, and he was obviously still in a deep sleep.

Du Yue did not know if she should praise him for his sleep quality or for his easygoing attitude. After the second half of the night, there were no more accidents. They were safe and sound until the next morning.

The sky had just brightened outside, and there was already a commotion in the reception hall. The survivors were urging Zuo Mingdong to make them breakfast. Zuo Mingdong did not waste any time. He immediately asked his men to take out the food and began to cook.

Unlike the survivors, who were all staring at each other and waiting for their meal, the people who came from the base all walked out of the door and toward their cars. He Xing and Du Yue did the same. The two of them returned to the car and washed up. The temperature outside was too low. If they washed their face outside, the water might freeze to ice as soon as it touched their faces. Even if they were in the car, they had to dry the water droplets on their faces as soon as possible after washing up.

Du Yue usually liked to have some soup in the morning. A warm bowl of soup could warm one up from the inside out. In order to be able to have hot congee out here, Du Yue had specially cooked a large pot of congee in advance before coming. After cooking the congee, she placed it on the window sill in the living room.

At that temperature, the steaming porridge would be frozen solid in less than an hour. If she wanted to have it now, she only needed to heat it up.

However, the gas stove that Du Yue had brought could not be used in the car. She looked at the cars around her and felt a little troubled. He Xing looked out of the window as well and saw a half-collapsed house not too far away. He pointed in that direction and asked Du Yue, Shall we go there for our meal?

Du Yue looked in the direction he was pointing at. She felt that it was alright, so she nodded and agreed. He Xing carried a gas stove and a pot in his arms, while Du Yue carried a huge backpack. The two of them found a corner, put the gas stove on the ground, started the fire, and began to heat up the congee. The congee in the lunch box was frozen solid and could not be taken out at all. Fortunately, the lunch box that Du Yue had packed it in could be directly heated, so she simply put it on the stove.

In addition to the congee, Du Yue also brought beef patties. The beef patties were heated directly on top of the lunch box, and it did not take long for them to defrost. He Xing took out a can from his pocket. It's a can of fish. It'll go great with the congee. Even though Du Yue liked meat as well, she was not like He Xing, who had to eat meat for every meal. She could not help but laugh when she saw that He Xing had to eat a bowl of congee with a can of fish.

The canned fish was made with five-spice, and it was indeed fragrant. Whether it was eaten with congee or patties, it was very delicious. Although this breakfast was relatively simple, the two of them were very satisfied.

There were quite a lot of people like Du Yue who started their own fires to cook. A gust of wind blew, and Du Yue could smell the fragrance of food.

After breakfast, Du Yue and He Xing packed their things and placed them in the car before returning to the reception hall. The lighting in the hall was still very dim. Du Yue and He Xing had just stepped into the hall when they saw many people looking at them.

Being stared at by so many people, Du Yue did not feel uncomfortable at all. She walked straight to a corner and sat down. The others who had gone out to eat also returned to the hall in twos and threes. After almost half an hour, Zuo Mingdong stood in the middle of the hall and clapped his hands. Is everyone here? Then I'll assign tasks to everyone. I've already asked around. In addition to the holiday resort we're in, there are many survivors in the nearby villages and towns. Your mission today is to search for survivors and bring them back. We only have two days. We'll return on time the day after tomorrow. Everyone has to work hard. We're short on time, but the number of survivors that need to be found and rescued is high. It's cold outside, so the search and rescue mission will be very difficult. I hope that we can all find the strength and motivation to carry out the mission well! Let's work together to bring them back!
