The village was not large. There was a small kiosk near the county road, and that's where the convoy was stationed.
Obviously, it was unrealistic for a battalion of armed forces to carry rations, such as raw meat and vegetables, that would last them for 15 days. Moreover, it was too dangerous to cook in the wild. Once zombies were attracted, the losses would outweigh the gains. Therefore, most of their food was compressed biscuits, a small amount of jerky and vegetable powder.
As for sleeping, hundreds of people wanting to spend all their time in their cars was impossible. As a result, the military put down a lot of military tents. Due to the limited s.p.a.ce, the tents were densely packed and looked like a dense dark ma.s.s. The number of military tents was very limited, so three guys were a.s.signed to a tent.
Although they could stay in the villagers' houses, it would be hard to a.s.semble right away, under unexpected circ.u.mstances. The tents were easy to erect, but also easy to attack. Unfortunately, sleeping on the field, coupled with the humid southern air, made it hard to sleep. To make things worse, in the evening, the mosquitoes started driving people crazy.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi and Li Yuxin were a.s.signed with an older nurse to a tent. w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi was a little dumbfounded after seeing that tent. It was tiny, with rough bedding, and humid. How could they possibly sleep?
Initially, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi thought they could sleep in the ambulance. But she didn't expect that there would be so many wounded people after the fight! Not to mention herself, even if her brother couldn't sleep in the ambulance.
"Yuxin, how can we sleep?" w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi measured the size of the s.p.a.ce inside the tent, looking at that middle-aged nurse. She had a slightly plump body.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi had claustrophobia from an early age, and she felt she couldn't sleep at the tent. But outside the tent were countless terrible blood-sucking mosquitoes. She really did not expect that she would experience such a harsh environment in the military expedition.
"Do not complain." Li Yuxin glared at w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi. "There are still a lot of wounded people we need to treat tomorrow. We are lucky that we do not have to go to the battlefield. Look at those wounded people. They cannot fall asleep because of pain. Soldiers have to take turns to keep watch." Li Yuxin said to w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi, and then she saw Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s minibus was parked on the roadside. She pulled w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi and said: "We should thank Jiang Lius.h.i.+. He saved your brother and us."
"I…" w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi felt embarra.s.sed. She was prejudiced against Jiang Lius.h.i.+. Moreover, she was thick-skinned with strong self-esteem. She wanted to find an excuse, but Li Yuxin was already dragging her toward the minibus.
The minibus' door was open, so w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi saw Ying sitting in the driver's seat.
Ying's looked perfect in her black leather jacket. w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi couldn't believe what she was seeing.
[She is the driver...? A girl?] w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi couldn't believe it.
"Li Yuxin?" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ saw Li Yuxin, and he smiled, "Come in."
"Okay. I'd like to thank you for your invitation and saving all of us…" Li Yuxin was about to continue, but she froze.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi was staring at the interior of Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s minibus with wide eyes, and her mouth formed an O. Was that really Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s car?
How could the interior be so luxurious?
Thanks to the 18 mutant nuclei, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ rebuilt the minibus, and as a result, its interior had changed completely. The interior s.p.a.ce had expanded a lot, and he even added a king-sized bed, about 1.2 in width, which looked really comfortable.
At that time, Jiang Zhuying was like a lazy kitten sitting on the couch while watching anime on her tablet. And Ran Xiyu was in the kitchen… cooking!?
There were even a stove, rice cooker, and microwave working at the same time! An exquisite fragrance spread all over the minibus.
[Vegetables?] It was rather had for w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi to fathom what she was seeing. It was amazing!
At that moment, Ran Xiyu opened the rice cooker. w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi couldn't hide her envious expression after glancing at that crystal clear rice.
Most of the food supplied in the first district of Shenhai Island were potatoes. And they could only eat hybrid rice with a higher yield. It was apparent that Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s rice was delicious.
w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi touched her pocket filled with compressed biscuits. Compared with what Jiang Lius.h.i.+ ate, it was a vast difference. Thinking of the first time she met Jiang Lius.h.i.+, she even regarded him as a refugee.
Just as an old Chinese goes, "Men cannot be judged by their looks."
