When Lu Hui came over after cleaning up, he was holding some food in his hands. Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, he explained embarrassedly,"Since everyone is living and eating together, I naturally have to hand over my food so that we can share it together. That's right…there's only so much left. I hope you don't mind!”
Everyone understood. What was important was the thought. They didn't care about his food, even though the team didn't have enough food.
Yu Xiaowei had come together. He had suffered a blow from Lu Hui previously, and now was a good time to turn the tables. He pretended to be disgusted and said,"A few packets of biscuits and a few packets of instant noodles. Tsk, tsk. You can't even eat enough for yourself.”
This time, it was Lu Hui's turn to blush. This was not an unimportant topic. Food was the most sensitive thing in the apocalypse. It was as important as wages and property before the apocalypse. Even if he knew that Yu Xiaowei was joking, he couldn't interrupt him jokingly. He couldn't be vague about important matters, or else he would be looked down upon and his character would be questioned.
"He's right!" Lu Hui said seriously. I knew this, but I still shamelessly brought it up because I was already considered a member of the team. Although I was only a reserve, I still had to have the awareness of being a member of the team. Handing over the food was to show my attitude of sharing with everyone. I will work hard in the future and let everyone see my value!”
"Pa, pa, pa…"
"Well said. What we value is attitude! There will always be food." Li Xi clapped his hands in appreciation. Being able to grasp the key issue was one of the important qualities that the team valued.
Zheng Ji glanced at it and lowered his head to do his own thing. He was not completely indifferent. Li Xi and Zeng Zhiqiang were in charge of these matters. As long as it did not harm Li Xi and his team, he would not take action. As for the rest, he just needed to understand it in his heart…
The other people's reactions were similar to Li Xi's, but they were more restrained. They were still in the inspection period, so they had to keep their satisfaction in their hearts.
Yu Xiaowei was the most aggrieved. He didn't get any advantage. He glared at Lu Hui and muttered unwillingly,"You only know how to sweet-talk…Then don't fight with me when we're eating!”
“……”
Lu Hui was not close to his previous companions. His sudden departure did not attract too much attention from the others. At most, they were curious as to why another person was missing. However, there were also people who happened to see him interact with the Hope Squad. These people had no other entertainment when they were free. Their eyes and ears paid attention to the people and things around them from time to time. After a few days, it was very normal for them to have some understanding of these people who lived with them, not to mention a thorough understanding.
"This kid, he looks like he's not bored, but he's quite cunning when he's on the key!”Some people began to complain sourly. If he was envious, why didn't he try it himself? Ahem, hadn't he already tried to get close to her, but was rejected without leaving a trace?
In the evening, the rain and snow actually stopped!
"It's finally stopped. This unlucky weather is too frustrating!”Yu Xiaowei immediately opened the door and ran to the courtyard. He did not dare to shout loudly and could only jump a few times to express his excitement.
The people who stayed in the rooms of the various monks came out one after another to enjoy the good weather.
The good weather meant that he could make other plans and not be forced to stay indoors. Everyone was equally happy.
"It seems that God also thinks that joining the Hope Party was the right decision.”Lu Hui proudly showed off to his team members, especially when his gaze finally landed on Yu Xiaowei. He could roughly tell everyone's character. Yu Xiaowei was the most suitable to joke with him. Other than being able to control his temper when he was working, he usually liked to be lively. It would be too boring if no one played with him. He didn't really like the team that he had temporarily partnered up with before, so he could only play cool and deep.
Yu Xiaowei did not disappoint him."Tsk, are you a Narcissus?"
"Ah! The eyes of the masses were indeed sharp!”Lu Hui took sarcasm as praise, blinking his unique peach blossom eyes and throwing flirtatious glances.
"Ugh ~~~" Yu Xiaowei bent down and pretended to vomit.
The next morning, the long-lost sun smiled.
The courtyard was filled with clothes and bedding. Many people simply took their stools out to bask in the sun. If it wasn't for the lack of food, they would have made some snacks and tea. Everyone could have a tea party!
As the room was too small, even if there were previous visits, the number of times would not be many. Now that the venue was spacious, people who were familiar with each other took the opportunity to chat to their hearts 'content. The chatter, the courtyard filled with people and clothes, and the monk's residence was rarely filled with people.
It was estimated that there would not be any rain or snow for the next few days. He left a day to dry his clothes, pack his luggage, and prepare to leave early the next morning.
Although Lu Hui was narcissistic and liked to join in the fun, he was not a lazy or passive person who would come looking for him. Moreover, he was currently in the observation period, so he was actively looking for opportunities to display his specialties and abilities. As soon as he saw the cart, he knew that his chance had come.
Lu Hui also brought his own car repair tools. Of course, he only had one backpack and naturally did not have all the tools. When he received the toolbox that Zhao Ledan gave him, he almost burst into tears. Not only was he touched by the team's thoughtfulness, but he was also excited by his professional instincts. To be able to carry a heavy toolbox at any time in the apocalypse where food was the most precious, how could he not be surprised and pleasantly surprised!
The toolbox was given to Lu Hui for him to keep and use. Of course, it was still carried by the team's car. After touching and understanding each tool one by one as if he was admiring a beautiful woman, Lu Hui began to modify the trolley.
In fact, the modification of the trolley was too easy for Lu Hui. It was not even technically difficult. It was as simple as a child assembling a simple toy. He did not need the tools in the toolbox at all. The tools he brought with him were enough to solve the problem.
Lu Hui was very serious in his work. Even if it was a simple task like playing with a child's toy, he would still take it seriously. He skillfully operated it and finished it in less than ten minutes. He had only made some changes to the cart. It looked like nothing had changed on the surface, but when he pushed it, he realized that it was more than twice as effortless. If he had enough materials, he could have assembled it more perfectly. He knew that this car was only for temporary use and did not need to spend too much effort to make it perfect. Therefore, he only focused on making the greatest changes to save energy. As long as it was not practical, he did not care about other aspects.
Although it was just a small test, everyone was still satisfied with Lu Hui's performance. The most satisfying thing was that he did not need anyone to instruct him to take the initiative to modify the cart. Everyone liked hardworking people and hated lazy people.
After a day of preparation, many people planned to leave after breakfast the next day. The teams that had originally planned to go down the mountain saw that most of them were leaving today, so they hurriedly packed their luggage and wanted to leave together. There was strength in numbers. When there was no conflict of interest, humans still instinctively liked the power of numbers.
When the sun rose, the group of people set off. For safety reasons, everyone consciously tried to keep quiet. The people who decided to stay felt both reluctant and relaxed as they silently watched this group of passersby.
Everyone's spirit and physical strength were at their peak, and they were mentally prepared for the possible dangers of going down the mountain. In addition, there were many people and they were strong. The journey to the foot of the mountain was relatively smooth.
Not far away was another village. The situation was similar to the previous village. It was cold and desolate. All kinds of farm tools were thrown on the side of the road, and there were red and black blood stains on them. Some human and zombie limbs were mixed together, indicating that there had been a fierce battle here.
Thinking that they might be able to pick up some leftovers, many people began to walk around the streets. They really picked up some leftovers. Although it was not much, it was worth being happy to have unexpected gains.
The Hope Squad did not have much food left. Last time, because they had to pack weapons, clothes, and other necessities, the proportion of food they took away was much smaller. After a few more days of consumption, they would not last for more than a few days. However, Li Xi had a lot of spare food in his space earring. This time, she planned to find an opportunity to release a small portion for emergency use.
"Let's not follow the trend. The most important thing now is to find a car, search for food, and finally enter J-City's base. We'll have to stay there for a few more days. We'll help Ah Rui find his family while gathering information.”Li Xi saw that Yu Xiaowei and Zhao Leyan were also eager to pick up the leftovers, so he quickly stopped them. The team members were used to listening to her orders (when Zeng Zhiqiang was around, she would not overstep her boundaries unless it was necessary), and turned their attention to finding a means of transportation.
There were very few cars in this area. They had to be in good condition and could seat at least seven people. The range of choices was even smaller. They barely chose a small truck. It was time to show Lu Hui's value!
With the toolbox provided by the team, Lu Hui could fully display his specialty. In less than half an hour, the car that was about to be scrapped was repaired and could run normally.
When the other teams saw that some of them knew how to repair cars, they quickly went to pick a car and wanted to ask them for help. Among them were Lu Hui's original companions. They felt that he would definitely not reject their request, so they did not greet him first (in fact, it was useless to greet him) and only cared about choosing a car first. They didn't expect that before they could choose their car, their car and people had already disappeared. Everyone complained and cursed.
They were not far from J-City, and it would only take about an hour to drive on normal road conditions. Right now, they had to find a car and food. What was worse was that they did not have enough gas. It would be difficult to enter J-City's base today. However, if they entered the base without anything, they would definitely be treated badly. This was not the result they wanted.
However, this little difficulty was not in everyone's eyes. Moreover, hope was right in front of them, and they were full of motivation!
Along the way, they encountered a few gas stations, but unfortunately, they were almost out of gas. They barely managed to collect some before they had enough.
