His profile, illuminated by the passing lights, had sharp, steady lines, a straight and handsome nose.
Only a profile!
Xia Qing felt an inexplicable tension, tinged with expectation and a hint of excitement.
Both expectant and regretful, why only a profile?
She fully charged her phone, planning to put it back into her space after waking up tomorrow. She would deliver the milk in the morning and then buy another batch of supplies.
Life over there was simply too miserable, especially for the children. Su Yu said there were at least several dozen kids.
Most of them were orphans. Today, she went to the town’s vegetable market and directly ordered three pigs, already butchered and delivered to the warehouse.
Each pig weighed two hundred pounds, and she bought three directly. She also bought fifty bags each of rice and millet and put them all in the warehouse.
She was worried that she wouldn’t be able to buy too many supplies when she was in Shanghai.
She also bought hundreds of crates of ten-pound boxes of eggs.
This all cost nearly one hundred thousand yuan.
In the warehouse, the things she bought were being delivered one after another.
“Su Yu.”
A pleasant baritone voice came from her ear, “Mm,” a little deep.
“I’m here.”
He was waiting for her.
Knowing he was there, Xia Qing began to put things into her space.
To keep the milk fresh, Su Yu wasn’t in a hurry to take it out. One bucket a day was enough to distribute to those people.
The remaining several large buckets of milk and the eggs were put into the space for preservation.
Xia Qing looked at her empty warehouse and said, “I’m going to Shanghai tomorrow. Contact me anytime if anything comes up.”
“Okay!”
“I’ve also found a lot of books that girls like to read.”
Xia Qing thought of the several tragic romance novels she had read before, most of which were military marriages and romances.
“Okay! Put them all in the space!”
She had been absorbing crystal beads these past few days, and the space had grown considerably! After putting in several large buckets of milk and dozens of pounds of eggs, there was still room for other things.
Su Yu had specially placed a small cabinet in the space, where he stored the books he had found, and the jewelry was also placed inside, making it easy for Xia Qing to retrieve at any time.
If Xia Qing hadn’t asked him not to give her too much at once, he would have filled the entire space for her.
Xia Qing was also slowly digesting these things, completing the accumulation of original assets, not being too ostentatious, so as not to attract too much attention.
Li Yao and the others sleepily got up again, but this time they were all prepared.
“I’ve noticed, they always deliver food to us at night lately.”
“Then we should be thankful!”
Zhang Liang began to drool at the sight of the pork.
“So many pigs! We can stew meat and eat it!”
“Tomorrow, have a few reliable people from the Vanguard Team find a few trustworthy people to stew all this meat.”
Not only was there meat, but Xia Qing had even bought them seasoning packets for stewing meat. It had to be said that she was really super thoughtful.
“Also, arrange for someone to distribute milk to the women and children.”
Su Yu immediately arranged everything.
Zhang Liang thought of something and asked, “Brother Yu, there are only eight people on the Vanguard Team, and recently two more people want to join.”
“Li Yao and the others can assess their character. If two-thirds agree, they can join.”
“For now, ten people is enough. We’ll make plans after we move to the villa area in a few days.”
The others replied, “Okay.”
“In the morning, Li Yao and Zhang Liang, you two stay behind. Wang Qiang, come with me to the villa.”
“Okay!” Wang Qiang replied.
The villa area had its own generator, which needed to be repaired. They needed to search the surrounding zombies again and clean them up carefully.
“By the way, Brother Yu, about the two people who were bitten by zombies last time, I eliminated the zombie of one of them, and the other successfully became an Evolver. I’ve already let him join the Vanguard Team.”
That man was called Wang Shuai, and he was also a veteran!
At the time, both of them were bitten. One was afraid of dying, afraid of turning into a zombie, and kept struggling. Wang Shuai, on the other hand, waited quietly, with a very strong mental fortitude.
“Okay!”
The zombie antibodies in the Evolver’s body will enhance their physique and increase their antibodies. However, if they are relatively weak Evolvers, then when they are bitten by zombies again, or encounter more powerful zombies, the toxins will increase, and the Evolver may be infected again.
If an Evolver is infected again and becomes a zombie, then it will be a mutated zombie, with even greater strength.
At dawn, a long line formed at the entrance to receive food. Everyone was queuing up in an orderly manner.
Su Yu stood on top and said in a cold voice,
“Today is the last day to distribute food. In the future, you will need valuable things to exchange for food.”
“Anything valuable is fine, except for electronic products!”
Electronic products meant cell phones, pagers, and things like that.
“Today, we’re distributing steamed buns, plus half a pound of rice. Tomorrow, we’ll have stewed meat! Those who are capable can go out and collect valuable things, so that they can exchange them for a continuous supply of food.”
After Su Yu finished speaking, everyone was extremely excited!
“There’s meat today! Pork! I really want to eat it! But it’s a pity we need to exchange things for meat.” One person in line said eagerly.
Several people standing in the center of the line had joyous expressions on their faces because they had gone out yesterday and found a lot of things.
It was like going out on a treasure hunt. If they couldn’t find food, they could easily find valuable things, right? Who doesn’t have a few gold jewelry items hidden at home?
“We’ll be able to eat meat today! It’s been so long since I smelled meat!”
“Eating normal food lately, I feel like my body has a lot more strength!”
As long as they stopped eating those poisonous leaves, their bodies would slowly recover, but the residual damage to their bones would still be there.
Li Yao looked at those thin orphans, and some children were squeezed to the outside.
Li Yao said, “Children, come over here to get milk.”
“The elderly and children each get a portion. Bring a cup! Only one spoonful!”
“There’s milk! There’s milk!”
The people in line instantly stretched their necks and looked forward. Today there was meat, rice, and milk!
Their eyes were shining, and they felt like the whole world was beginning to have light.
Zombies weren’t the scariest thing, not being able to eat enough was the most despairing.
This food represented their hope for life.
“Can I exchange something valuable for some milk?” A man said excitedly.
“Only the elderly and children can receive it, because there isn’t much milk.” Li Yao frowned.
“My wife is pregnant, but she’s malnourished! Can you exchange some for me?” The man said in a pleading tone.
Su Yu looked at his back and saw a gaunt woman, but her stomach was bulging, like she was six or seven months pregnant, but in reality, she was about to give birth.
“Then have your wife come and receive it! Pregnant women are also considered a vulnerable group!”
“Thank you! Thank you!” The man was extremely grateful, and almost knelt down.
