There was silence for a while before Han Ya spoke again.
“Just now, we met someone at the trading market who was exchanging special items. They were from your military, right?”
Bai Yang nodded and smiled. “Yes, they’re from our division. It was requested by our commander. The situation is pretty clear now, and our leaders are turning a blind eye to it. If they want us to work hard without complaints, they should at least give us some benefits, right?!”
Han Ya also laughed. These soldiers were not completely foolish on the basis of their integrity.
“What do you lack?” Han Ya asked.
“Do you have anything?” Bai Yang was taken aback.
Han Ya and Wen Le were also surprised, but they couldn’t help but have a better impression of Bai Yun in their hearts.
There was no way they hadn’t had the chance to talk about the space after spending so much time with their father. Not mentioning it meant that she had intentionally concealed it. No matter whether they were afraid of exposing the space or not, Wen Le was touched that she had kept their secret even in front of her loved ones.
“We have some supplies left outside. After all, we don’t know the situation here, so it’s safer to keep them outside.” Since Bai Yun didn’t mention it, Han Ya and the others wouldn’t bring it up.
“Very smart!” Bai Yang praised, feeling even more pleased. If they had brought everything with them, the government would have taken advantage of it long ago. How could they still have their own things?! “We lack medicine and clothing the most at the moment.”
Clothing?
Han Ya was taken aback.
Wen Le understood that they didn’t face many zombies directly on their way, so the others didn’t understand the importance of clothing. In a real fight with zombies, it was impossible to rely solely on firearms, as bullets would eventually run out, and at close range, clothing was easily damaged.
“We can provide some medicine, but not much clothing,” Wen Le said, taking over the conversation. He had indeed collected quite a bit of clothing, but he had to consider the future. Although he respected the soldiers who risked their lives to fight against the end of the world, he was no longer the naive child who easily softened his heart without considering the situation.
Bai Yang nodded in understanding. Who would think about packing clothes at the edge of life and death? It was good enough to think about collecting medicine.
“Then when we go out on our mission tomorrow, you can follow us and put the clothes directly into our weapon box. The government won’t investigate us too closely,” Bai Yang suggested.
“Okay, then contact the vendor later and make the trade tomorrow. We had scheduled it for 1 pm today,” Han Ya said as he stood up.
“Good. By the way, you should register as a rescue team. It will be much more
“Alright.” Bai Yang nodded. “By the way, it’s best if you all register for the rescue team. It will make it much easier to enter and exit the rescue station. Plus, in a few days, new regulations will be issued. Only those who regularly submit a certain amount of special items each month can continue to live in the dormitory. After all, more and more survivors will arrive here after the snow melts.”
“We already have someone who went to the rescue team registration office to check it out. They should be back soon. We’ll go up and talk to the others.” Han Ya stood up and said.
“If you need anything, come find me anytime.”
After Han Ya agreed, he left with Wen Le.
When they returned to the dormitory, Wen Le noticed that Han Yifeng was sitting stiffly on the bed, and Qi Rui and Zhao Xiaogang couldn’t stop laughing by his side.
“Alright, you have to face it sooner or later. You’ll die sooner or later, and then you’ll be reborn. Go ahead, being proactive might even get you a suspended sentence!” Wen Le joked as he went over to rub Han Yi Feng’s head.
Han Yifeng looked at him with a mournful expression.
When Grandpa Bai first went to the registration office, he had his eye on him for holding Bai Yun’s arm. His eyes were like daggers, and he almost had him executed. Earlier, when Bai Yun came up, he conveyed Grandpa Bai’s words, and now he just wanted to jump off a building.
“If you have the guts to seduce someone’s precious daughter, you have to bear the consequences. Go ahead, don’t dilly-dally.” Li Yunsheng joked rarely.
Han Yifeng burst into tears.
Don’t be so gleeful about other people’s misfortunes!
In the end, Bai Yun gave Han Yifeng a cold look and he obediently followed her, ready to face the judgment of Bai Lao Dad.
As soon as they closed the door, a burst of laughter erupted from inside. Han Yifeng’s face turned dark, and he identified Qi Rui and Zhao Xiaogang as the primary targets of his “hospitality” due to their obvious laughter.
After the two of them went downstairs, the laughter in the room gradually subsided.
“How did it go?” Zhou Quan put away his laughter and asked seriously.
“It’s about what we expected. We’ll discuss it in detail when the boss comes back.” Han Ya replied.
As long as there were no unexpected surprises, everyone else felt relieved.
After a brief chat about the trading market, Xiao Wen and his two companions returned.
Li Yunsheng asked Qi Rui and Zhao Xiaogang to help him back to his room to rest. He didn’t want to worry about things with these young people. Mo Gang also smiled and took Huang Yao and Li Yan’s hands back to their room to rest.
“What about over there?” Han Ya asked Xiao Wen after he finished his drink.
“The system over there is clearly incomplete, with only basic requirements for forming a rescue team and rules for submitting items.”
After listening to Xiao Wen’s words, Han Ya repeated what he had talked about with Bai Yang downstairs.
“He wants us to form a rescue team?” Xiao Wen thought for a moment.
“Indeed, according to the regulations, those who are not members of a rescue team are not allowed to leave the rescue station. If they want to go out, they can only form a rescue team. The conditions for forming a rescue team are that the number of people must reach five, and they must have their own vehicles, gasoline, and weapons. They can also exchange items and gasoline for supplies at the rescue station. We have met the requirements and can form one or two rescue teams separately. After establishment, a quarter of the collected items must be submitted, and the rest belongs to the team. Items that are not submitted can be exchanged for supplies at the rescue station or exchanged privately without any mandatory requirements.”
“Then let’s apply for a team this afternoon. There is no need to separate into two teams. We can establish one team and act separately after going out,” Han Ya thought for a moment and looked at Xiao Wen.
Xiao Wen nodded.
“What should we name the team?” Chen Ye asked.
“Dawn? Future? New Life?” Huang Tao suggested.
“Dragon Slayer, Blood Fang, Grim Reaper! These sound more badass!” Yin Chengyang objected.
Qi Rui and Zhao Xiaogang, who helped Li Yunsheng up, turned back and heard Huang Tao’s suggestion. When they saw Yin Chengyang’s objection, they began to argue.
“It sounds badass, but it has no meaning. Let’s call it the Savior Team!” Zhao Xiaogang suggested.
“That’s too tacky! Savior? Why not call it Virgin Mary!” Qi Rui was the first to reject Zhao Xiaogang’s “savior” argument.
“Hmph! Who cares if it’s tacky? The world is dark now, and we need saviors like us! You don’t understand anything!” Zhao Xiaogang retorted.
“Forget it, if you’re tacky, just be tacky on your own. Don’t think everyone is like you!” Qi Rui replied.
Wen Le frowned and coughed, interrupting the chatter in his ears.
“Let’s just call it the Apocalypse Team.”
The people who were still arguing saw Wen Le’s slightly blackened face and quickly nodded their heads like sycophants.
“Yes, let’s call it the Apocalypse Team,” Zhao Xiaogang said.
“Yes, in the end of the world, it should be called the Apocalypse Team. Wen Shao is so wise!” Qi Rui added.
“Ha!”
“Hahaha!”
The others couldn’t help but burst out laughing. These two kids are really funny!
“Okay, let’s count the personnel.” Han Ya reminded with a smile.
Wen Le took out the notebook that Han Ya had been writing and drawing in, and handed it over.
Han Ya picked up a pen and started writing while talking.
“Professor Li, Uncle Mo, Li Yan, Zhou Quan, and Huang Yao will stay behind. The remaining eleven people will be divided into three groups, with three people staying behind to protect and eight people sitting in one car. The other car will be left downstairs for emergency use. Chen Ye, when Han Yifeng comes back, tell him that you and he will take turns staying behind each time, and the key to the car downstairs will be kept by the person who stays behind. If the situation is not right, just take the car and leave. I will report all the personnel later, so there won’t be any trouble when we leave.”
No one had any objections to Han Ya’s arrangement.
After the decision was made, everyone went back to rest. Today was considered a day of rest. Those who wanted to go out had to go in pairs, and there had to be someone with abilities accompanying them.
Before leaving, Qi Rui asked Wen Le for a few decks of cards. It was too cold outside and there was no one around, so no one wanted to go out for a walk. They might as well stay inside and play cards with hot water bottles.
There were only Xiao Wen, Wen Le, Mo Yan, and Han Ya left in the room. Yin Chengyang, with his tall stature, was completely ignored by Han Ya.
“Bai Yang hopes that we can take Bai Yun with us when we leave.” Han Ya deliberately left out this part when he conveyed his conversation with Bai Yang earlier. It was not that he didn’t want others to know, but he felt that there was no need to make everyone worry about it.
“The situation here is very bad,” Xiao Wen said, caressing Wen Le’s slender and smooth fingers as he silently pondered.
“Perhaps we can discuss cooperation,” Han Ya suggested.
Xiao Wen had the same idea, but it wasn’t easy to implement.
“First of all, we are still wandering around without any foundation. Only by displaying Wen Le’s resources can we have a chance to talk about cooperation on equal terms. Secondly, although the military and the government are currently at odds, they haven’t been forced to the brink of life and death yet. It’s hard to say whether they will abandon their long-standing belief in protecting the country. Finally, even if cooperation is established and they lead us out together, how will they choose when the country calls them back again?”
“We can’t reveal Wen Le’s trump card. Even if people find out about his space ability, we can say it only awakened during the apocalypse, which means all the resources inside the space were collected after he gained the ability. As for cooperation, we can try to talk and set a bait. From the current situation, the military’s future is not optimistic. The real military leaders are in the capital, and we don’t even know if they are alive or dead. Even if they are alive, distance won’t save them. What about the capital? Can the military and government be harmonious? If these people want to survive in the future, they can’t always be trapped under the government’s control. Either they will launch an expedition to the capital, assuming the military leadership there can protect them, or they will start anew. But both options may not be good choices in the future,” analyzed Han Ya.
Wen Le listened with confusion, realizing once again that this kind of major decision was not something he could help with. He could only listen honestly.
Xiao Wen pinched Wen Le’s gloomy face and really wanted to take a bite.
“Let’s start with Bai Yang, take it as it comes, and it doesn’t matter if we can’t come to an agreement. We can always leave in the car,” Xiao Wen ultimately decided.
Thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the update! ^^)❤
