After Xu Cheng and Lin Yang left, Yu Xiaowei shouted happily,"Aiya, that's great! I finally don't have to worry about supplies. It's better for girls to do this!”
"Don't be happy too early. You don't have to worry about this. Other things are waiting for you!”Zeng Zhiqiang deliberately poured cold water on Yu Xiaowei.
"Hehe, I'm the kind of person who slacks off! I just feel that girls are more meticulous and suitable for managing supplies. Captain Zeng, if you have any missions, just tell me. For the team, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!”Yu Xiaowei first smiled at Zeng Zhiqiang obsequiously, then made an exaggerated gesture of loyalty.
"Don't be silly. We need to find a repair shop to fix the car first!”Li Xi interrupted Yu Xiaowei's joke and suggested what he needed to do urgently.
Zheng Ji would drive first, and then the few of them would take turns.
On the way, they first distributed weapons and equipment to Zhao Ledan. Then, Guo Rui explained to her in detail the rules and regulations of the team, the specific strengths of each member of the team, the internal information of the team, and other matters that every new member must know. In the future, this task of explaining to the new members would be taken over by Guo Rui.
"This is the information book for our team. The content I explained earlier is all in it. You can slowly digest and absorb it when you have time.”Guo Rui handed the iPad to Zhao Ledan. Ever since Guo Rui confirmed his position as the military advisor in the team, he had been keeping the iPad.
At the beginning of the formation of the Hope Party, they had only set a general direction. As the number of members increased, some problems gradually became more detailed. Each member also clearly defined their position in the party and their main responsibilities. The content that Zeng Zhiqiang had explained to Xu Cheng was also something that they had decided on during a team meeting. It was just a vague concept before, but after confirming it, everyone had a clearer idea of their future development direction. However, the team was not a company. The team members did not ignore everything except their main responsibilities. When needed, everyone would do their best as long as they could. The company was just a place for him to earn money, but the team was his home and the hope of his future survival.
Since Zhao Ledan had officially become a member of the Hope Party, she took the initiative to fill in the information that she had not introduced before so that everyone could understand her more deeply.
"Sigh, now we're the same. We're both alone!”Yu Xiaowei felt that they were in the same boat.
"I'm not alone. You're all my family now!”After Zhao Ledan was accepted by everyone, the cheerful and optimistic side of her nature gradually revealed itself, and she began to joke with Yu Xiaowei easily.
"Zhao Ledan is right. We're family from now on!”Zeng Zhiqiang was infected by the atmosphere and also moved.
"Since we're a family now, shouldn't we change the way we address each other? It's not friendly to call each other by their names!”Yu Xiaowei suggested.
"Mm, that makes sense. I'm the oldest here, 35 years old, Guo Rui is the second, 32 years old, and I'm the youngest. Zheng Ji 30, Yu Xiaowei 29, Zhao Ledan 28; Li Xi, 25." Zeng Zhiqiang nodded in agreement and reported everyone's age according to their age.
"If you don't call me Captain, the others can call me by age!”Guo Rui suggested.
"No! I'm the youngest, but I still have to call you guys brothers and sisters. I'm at a disadvantage!”Li Xi turned his head in the passenger seat and pouted. He threw a little temper and acted like a child.
" Haha..." It was rare for everyone to see this side of Li Xi, and they all laughed out loud. Even Zheng Ji's mouth was curled up high, and Li Xi's face was red from laughing. It was unknown whether it was because of anger or embarrassment, but he turned his head and ignored them, causing everyone to laugh even louder.
"Um, I'm Wei. Why don't we all call me Xiao or something like that?”Yu Xiaowei laughed until tears flowed out. He was afraid that he would annoy Li Xi if he continued to laugh, so he quickly thought of a way to divert everyone's attention.
"No way. It's fine if your name is Xiao Wei, but I'm already so old and still called Xiao Rui.”Guo Rui imagined how it would feel if everyone called him that. He shook his head and felt awkward." It's okay for elders to call him that, but it's not good for peers to call him that. Outsiders call me Little Guo or call me by my full name.”
"My friends and colleagues call me Dandan.”Zhao Ledan raised her hand.
"When I was in the army, everyone called me by my position. Later on, it was the same in the local company. My family calls me Zhiqiang." Zeng Zhiqiang also joined in the fun when he saw them talking.
Li Xi didn't go up to add in the conversation. If she said that her family called her "Xixi", her teammates would probably follow suit. Just like Guo Rui said, it was awkward to call her that among peers. In fact, it was normal for people of the same generation to call him that. It was just that those who were called were usually cute and lively people. People like Li Xi, who had a cold personality, did not like to be called that by his peers.
Zheng Ji was even more speechless. He couldn't possibly say that his superiors and colleagues all called him by his code name.
They didn't expect a simple question to become a difficult one here. Everyone pondered hard.
"Southerners like to add 'Ah' before their names, such as 'Ah Ming',' Ah Qiang', etc. Northerners liked to add 'Xiao' before their surnames, such as 'Xiao Zhang' or 'Xiao Wang'.”Guo Rui had been to many places when he ran the news, so he had some understanding of the customs of various places. He could use it as a reference.
"Ah Xi is fine too." Li Xi was a southerner. From what she knew, his colleagues called him " Little Zhang " and " Little Wang." His teammates were like friends and family. He should address them more intimately and quickly pick an acceptable one, lest they come up with some strange name later.
Zheng Ji followed closely behind Li Xi and said,"Ah Ji."”
"You guys can call me 'Ah Rui' too.”Guo Rui habitually pushed up his glasses with his middle finger and smiled.
The question of how to address them was decided after a discussion among the group of people who were usually very childish.
"By the way, when we passed by the base, I saw the group of people at the gas station again. However, the bearded man didn't seem to have seen it. They also seemed to have lost a few people. Do you think they're over?”Yu Xiaowei thought of something else and quickly shared the news he saw with everyone.
"It's very possible! That bearded man was obviously a troublemaker!”Zhao Ledan's interest in gossip was ignited, and she began to chat with Yu Xiaowei.
Time passed quickly as they chatted and laughed along the way.
When they arrived at a car repair shop, Li Xi, Zheng Ji, and Zeng Zhiqiang were still in charge of reinforcing the car. Yu Xiaowei helped Zhao Leyan organize the supplies (they were just piled together before); Guo Rui was in charge of providing emergency assistance and seeing which side needed help.
" The fence around the roof rack needs to be raised. Now that we have more people, we can't increase the space. We can only put some large and light materials on the roof rack and cover them with waterproof canvas.”Li Xi initially proposed to merge one car for the safety of the entire team. In the future, there would be danger at any time. Two cars would increase the danger, but one car did not have enough space to store the supplies, so they could only think of other ways.
"The storage space of the supplies is indeed a problem. This is the only way. If we change to a big car, we're afraid that it won't be flexible enough and will also consume fuel.”Zeng Zhiqiang was also quite troubled. Some problems that did not exist before the apocalypse had to be carefully considered after the apocalypse.
The seats in the last row of the car were originally all pulled up. Now that Zhao Ledan was here, they had to put down a chair. The space seemed small again. Fortunately, Zhao Ledan was experienced in organizing things. She packed the blankets and clothes in a compression bag and compressed them. She placed the infrequently used ones on the roof rack and the commonly used ones in the car. Li Xi and the other two had installed some shelves in the car to facilitate the storage and taking of supplies. The water was placed at the back of the car and secured with an iron frame to prevent the car from bumping and causing the gasoline to spill. In this way, the materials were placed reasonably according to their size, weight, frequency of use, etc., so that the limited space could be filled with as many materials as possible.
Everyone was satisfied.
"Do we need to replenish our ammunition?”Zeng Zhiqiang had been thinking about this too. He was no longer against stealing weapons and ammunition. The environment of the apocalypse could change a person's thoughts too much. The thoughts that had been ingrained in his bones for decades were forced to change under the harsh environment of the apocalypse. It was a kind of helplessness, but also a strong call for survival.
"Of course, weapons and ammunition are not only useful for zombies and mutated animals, but also for living people!”Li Xi said in a more serious tone," The government and the military will quickly adjust after the initial loss of control. It's fine if they are united against the enemy for the sake of mankind, but if someone is fighting for personal gain and pointing their weapons at their own kind, we will need weapons to protect ourselves and not become their victims. Captain Zeng, I know that you used to be an upright soldier. Now, I believe that you have also realized that we should not abandon our country, nor should we completely trust our country. Who knows who the future rulers will be working for?!”
"I understand what you mean. Don't worry, in my heart, our Hope Squad is the most important, even more important than the country!”Zeng Zhiqiang promised the other team members and himself.
"Us too!" Everyone expressed their stance.
"Alright, in the future, we hope that all members of the team will share honor and disgrace together!”Li Xi stretched out his hands and placed them one by one to witness this oath!
