"Because Manman is still waiting for me!" Zhang Zhuo's eyes were slightly red, and the beautiful figure reappeared in his mind. He resented himself and regretted that he had not spent more time with his wife.
"The situation outside is much worse than you can see. I'm a police officer. To be exact, I'm a special police officer. From the day when the mutation began, I have tried to contact my superiors and all my comrades in arms. None of them can be reached." Zhang Zhuo said solemnly, "do you know what this means?"
Ji Wenwen looked at Zhang Zhuo in a daze and shook his head in a daze.
"In the future, we will all rely on ourselves," Zhang said. "The country may be more difficult than we are now."
"Will the country abandon us?" Ji Wenwen's heart sank to the valley. Zhang Zhuo's words finally made her realize how bad the situation as a civilian is now.
"No, I promise you with my personality." Zhang Zhuo said unequivocally: "the motherland has been working hard for our stable life. It was and will be. You must live well and live to the day when we witness the reconstruction of civilization."
"And you?" Ji Wenwen's heart kindled hope.
"I will try my best to live," Zhang Zhuo said. "If I die one day, I will die closer to Manman."
The black SUV appeared in Cao Shengli's vision. He trotted toward the east gate and removed the obstacles blocking the revolving door before the car arrived.
"Why, there's another car?" When Cao Shengli saw a black SUV followed by a camouflage Chevrolet, he was somewhat surprised: "it's amazing. Last time we went out, we brought two people back. This time you even brought a car back."
"Come on, old Huan!" Cao Shengli greeted Lao Huan and called him over.
Qiao Xingyu parked the car in the east gate and got off with Chen Bin. He saw Cao Shengli and Lao Huan waiting at the gate, and greeted them happily.
Zhang Zhuo and Ji Wenwen and Cheng Zixuan also got off the bus, and all the things on the bus were taken down by them. The three men followed Chen Bin and passed through the revolving door.
"There are three more people, hehe." Seeing that the team has grown after going out every time, Cao Shengli felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
Lao Huan took things from the people who came back and helped them share some of the burden.
Zhang Zhuo looked at everyone he met here, and he looked very carefully. Ji Wenwen smiled at Cao Shengli and Lao Huan and said hello. Cheng Zixuan said "Hello, uncle".
After everyone came in, Cao Shengli blocked the East Gate with obstacles, and the party walked toward the elevator. On both sides were walls made of large trucks, flour bags and other sundries. Zhang Zhuo observed the situation nearby, while assessing the defensive value of these fortifications in his mind.
When the elevator reached the second floor, everyone came out. Ji Wenwen saw several girls of the same age standing outside. They were looking at themselves in surprise.
"Guangcheng, we have three new partners again. That's great." Luo Jia ran forward, hugged Zhao Guangcheng's neck, and kissed him on the face as a reward for his actions.
Zhao Guangcheng's face was a little hot after he was suddenly hit by this. There were Zhang Zhuo and other newcomers beside his heart. Luo Jia doesn't mind much. She has always been so straightforward.
"Xiaoji, Uncle Joe brought you a little brother back," Zou Qiqi shouted to the inside.
"My name is Zhang Zhuo, and I'm a policeman. I'll be bothering you for a while," Zhang Zhuo introduced himself to others.
"Uncle Zhang is a special police officer. He is a very powerful police officer." Cheng Zixuan stood out and said proudly.
"Eh," Cai Ji heard Zou Qiqi's voice and ran over. At a glance, he saw Cheng Zixuan standing in front of him.
Cheng Zixuan suddenly sees Cai Ji emerging from nowhere and hides behind Ji Wenwen somewhat shyly.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
"My name is Ji Wenwen. I am a nurse of Zhangjiang community health service center. His name is Cheng Zixuan. He is... My nephew." Ji Wenwen said, pulling out Cheng Zixuan behind him.
"I'm Cai Ji, Cai Ji's CAI, Cai Ji's Ji. My name sounds good," said Cai Ji. When she saw the new kid, she was determined to make a big splash in front of him.
"Chen Bin, Wen wubin."
"Gao Tengfei, just call me Da Fei."
"Hou Ruigang, call me monkey."
"Qiao Xingyu, we're quite familiar. Hehe."
"Zhao Guangcheng, that's my daughter-in-law, Luo Jia. Next to him is Qiao Xingyu and his wife, Zou Qiqi. This is Chen Bin and he..."
"Cough, cough", ah Cai coughed twice, interrupted Zhao Guangcheng's half joking and half serious words, and said: "Hello, I'm Xu Yuxin. Everyone calls me ah CAI. Welcome to come."
"Cao Shengli, just call Lao Cao. This is my brother, Lao Huan," Cao Shengli said. While introducing himself, Cao Shengli brought Lao Huan over and introduced them to Zhang Zhuo.
"Where's aunt Luo?" Chen Bin asked.
"Aunt Luo is preparing hot food, and she happens to have a new friend. We have a hot meal at noon." Ah Cai said, and led them in to settle down.
From the cooked food area, there was a gust of aroma, mixed with the sound of dishes boiling in the oil pan, which made people's fingers move.
Cheng Zixuan swallowed his saliva. The lunch made him look forward to it.
"Just leave your things here. I'll arrange your bed after lunch." Like a housekeeper, a CAI led Zhang Zhuo and them to a place and arranged them to put things first.
Zhang Zhuo put down several backpacks on his back and put the short blade aside. Ji Wenwen and Cheng Zixuan put their things next to Zhang Zhuo's bag. The three men followed ah CAI to several shelves lying on the ground. Ah Cai asked Cao Shengli and Lao Huan to put the boards beside them on the shelves. Zhang Zhuo also went over and put his hands together.
After the board was set up, Cao Shengli and Lao Huan brought a pile of water buckets. The two men turned the buckets upside down on the ground, and the bottom of the bucket was turned up as a chair. A simple dining area was completed.
Luo Jia and Zou Qiqi bring Cai Ji to bring the prepared dishes. The three people put the dishes on the table. The meat in these dishes are all vacuum packed ingredients in the supermarket, such as bacon, ham and sausage. The fresh raw meat has long been gone, so we use these pickled products instead. After soaking in water, some bagged dried mushrooms return to their original size. They are diced by Luo Qiongfen and stir fried with small pieces of bacon. The fragrance is very attractive.
Cheng Zixuan was ready to move, but because Cai Ji was also there, he was somewhat reserved. His contradictory expression changed back and forth on his small face, causing the adults around to laugh.
"Yummy ghost," Cai Ji muttered in her heart, but her face was smiling like adults.
There were a lot of people. Everyone helped to bring all the dishes. Luo Qiongfen took off her apron and washed her hands in the pool. Just now she knew from other people that there were new survivors in Jiafu supermarket. She was very happy to hear this news, so she cooked more dishes.
In terms of staple food, we mainly focus on frozen dumplings and instant noodles, and we choose our own tastes.
There are also several bottles of beer on the table. Cai Ji and Cheng Zixuan have canned milk in front of them. Chen Bin doesn't drink, so he brings a bottle of Oolong tea.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became lively. Everyone chatted with each other while eating delicious food. Cai Ji and Cheng Zixuan also followed the example of adults. After Luo Qiongfen and Ji Wenwen talked about their family life, they learned that her family also lived in phase 4. The relationship between them was much closer. Ji Wenwen wants to ask Luo Qiongfen about her parents, but it's not appropriate to say this at the dinner table. She can only put down some questions she wants to ask first, and plans to ask again later.
Chen Bin and others were surprised when they heard that Zhang Zhuo was looking for someone in Songhu city. They reported some tourist attractions they knew to Zhang Zhuo for reference. Zhang Zhuo's heart was warm. He came all the way from Nanjing. Only he knew how lonely he was on the way. This kind of atmosphere used to be in the army, but after the day of mutation, he never felt it again.
Under the influence of alcohol and atmosphere, everyone's vigilance and precautions were put down. Zhang Xie told Chen Bin and them about what happened in the health service center, but he kept Cheng Zixuan and his mother's affairs hidden. When the news was introduced, Cheng Zixuan was said to be her nephew, which was a good identity.
The monkey buried his head to eat, and occasionally looked at Zhang Zhuo secretly. This man gave him a very unusual feeling. The shrewd temperament and sharp eyes revealed by Zhang Zhuo made the monkey feel uncomfortable. The monkey recalled the rare experience of being caught by the police when driving a small black car and stealing. He has no doubt about Zhang Zhuo's identity, but he is naturally afraid of the police.
Zhang Zhuo also noticed some small movements of the young man beside him, but he didn't pay much attention to them. He thought that it might be because he was not familiar with them. Some people might be introverted because of their personality.
Cheng Zixuan's mouth is full of oil. Ji Wenwen took some paper to wipe his mouth. Cheng Zixuan took the paper and wiped it again.
Cai Ji is more than one year older than Cheng Zixuan, and a little taller than him. The little girl now looks like a big sister and even takes the initiative to help Cheng Zixuan with dishes that he can't.
"Cai Ji," Cheng Zixuan lifted the milk to his face, "I'll give you a toast."
"I want to call Cai Ji's sister, fool." Cai Ji purposely scowled and said, "if you don't call me sister, I won't drink."
"Well, sister Cai Ji, I respect you," said Cheng Zixuan. The children are familiar with each other, and many of them can go crazy to play together.
"Cheers." Cai Ji stretched out the milk in his hand and touched the milk in Cheng Zixuan's hand. They each drank a big mouthful and then continued to eat.
