Chapter 1140 - 1128

Chapter 1140: Chapter 1128

Chaotic in the wind! Zhao Lina truly understands the meaning of this phrase now.

Listening to the words from the man’s mouth and looking at the red string he handed over, Zhao Lina only felt a sharp pain deep in her chest like needles piercing.

When she hurt you, was this the kind of pain you felt?

Watching Wang Qiang’s departing figure, Zhao Lina couldn’t help but feel a little sad.

But she was always an optimistic person, unlike Wei Yang who was reserved and shy in dealing with emotions.

Zhao Lina is someone who dares to love and hate, actively pursuing the person she likes.

So it didn’t take long before she encouraged herself, saying: "Come on! Come on! He’s just not out of that gloom yet, come on Nana! You will defeat Yang Xue and help Wang Qiang move on!"

A woman is beautiful because of her confidence, and Zhao Lina is precisely such a woman.

Perhaps her appearance isn’t that striking, but her inner strength doesn’t lose to anyone.

"Old Xu, this time has surely been tough on you!"

Lin Junfu, Zhao Yunhai naturally walked over to Xu Renjie.

As the core trio of the team, they’ve built a deep revolutionary friendship during their daily work tasks.

This time, Old Xu was trapped, making Old Lin and Old Zhao sleepless at night.

Now that the opposite side has been rescued smoothly, the overwhelming emotions naturally flooded from their hearts like a storm.

Of course, Old Xu knew Old Lin was asking out of true concern, but causing such trouble to the team made Old Xu feel rather ashamed, and facing Old Lin’s concern made him feel even more guilty.

He immediately waved his right hand with a bitter smile: "Oh no, nothing tough for me, staying in the building with food and drink, look at me, I’ve gained a circle of weight."

Answering Old Lin’s question with self-deprecation, after all, anyone could see Old Xu obviously looked thinner.

It’s no wonder, in such a situation besieged by zombies and unable to move, not to mention surviving a month, just hearing the zombies scratching and crashing outside every day is enough to drive a person mad.

Not to mention, Old Xu and Lei Tong also had to count their days on fingers, worrying about their brothers’ situation outside.

Just these two points, if one could gain weight, that would be truly miraculous.

"But you guys, must have worried quite a bit for saving me."

Hearing Xu Renjie’s words, Old Lin grinned: "How about that, Old Zhao, didn’t I say? Wasn’t it word for word?"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhao nodded knowingly: "Indeed, it was."

Looking at Lin and Zhao’s expressions, Xu Renjie was full of confusion: "What are you two talking about?"

"Haha, on the way here, Old Lin made a bet with me, saying he knows exactly what you’d say in response to a question just like the one before, and he guessed right."

"He guessed correctly?"

"Yes, not only right but word for word. Isn’t this guy like a worm in your belly?"

Hahaha! Old Xu was amused by Lin Junfu’s slightly childish act.

Seeing Xu Renjie laughing, Lin Junfu was satisfied and patted Old Xu’s shoulder: "That’s right, laugh, today we’re reunited, it’s a joyous day, you say if you keep a stiff face everyone might think you met some trouble out there."

A warm current flowed through his heart, finally understanding that the joke between Lin and Zhao was specially set up to cheer him.

To avoid Old Xu feeling awkward, Old Zhao clapped his hands in greeting: "OK! In this cold weather, everyone head back inside. Zhongyu, Baochun, park the cars, except those on duty, head to the village chief’s house."

"Okay!" Wen Quanxin responded first.

Then everyone busied themselves, Wang Zhongyu and Luo Baochun walked over to the cars.

Shen Lian, Bi Dahu, and others continued their duty at the entrance.

Back inside, Demmi and Derek served prepared hot tea and water.

Recently, squad members rarely had the chance to use hot water for bathing.

After a simple wash, Wei Yang proceeded to leave first; the abrupt return of the rescue squad forced her to reschedule her dinner plans.

Luckily, she had plenty of help now, besides the initial Acheng, she had the assistance of Demmi and Zhao Lina.

Thus, preparing a whole family meal was significantly easier than before.

"Come, come! Everyone, sit, sit!" Old Lin pulled over a few stools, gesturing for everyone to sit down.

Once seated, before Old Lin could speak, Wen Quanxin, impatiently, asked: "Quick, quick! Brother Hu, tell us about the rescue mission process this time, how was it? Was it incredibly thrilling?"

Due to accompanying Luo Baochun on resource escort, Wen Quanxin’s wish to follow the team into the ruined city to execute the task ultimately fell through, leaving him with some regret.

Looking at Wen Quanxin’s anxious expression, Hu Xiaodong shook his head with a smile and then replied playfully: "Thrilling? More than thrilling, it was incredibly thrilling! But I haven’t asked you, how about the task I assigned you earlier? Didn’t botch it, did you?"

"Oh come on! Brother Hu, look at how you said that, you can’t trust my work? Tag team escorted both cars back, parked outside so neatly, no problems at all. When Wen does things, just rest assured and digest peace." Patting his chest, Wen Quanxin raised his head high.

Hu Xiaodong knew Wen Quanxin would complete a given task well, he asked only to tease the young man.

No way around it, his current good mood made his behavior become childlike.

Simply narrating the entire action to everyone, this was a habit of the Survivor Squad.

Regardless of mission success or size, they would gather and recount the task from start to finish, like Go masters replaying a game.

Why? It’s one reason humanity still thrives today.

There’s a saying, without summarizing one’s life won’t progress, to grow, one must learn to summarize.

Just like the current Survivor Squad, Hu Xiaodong and others participated in this action, and through oral presentation, they could convey what they felt and learned to those who didn’t participate.

The greatest benefit of this approach lies in heritage, as a team wants to develop for long, relying on a few strong team members isn’t enough.

Because no one can predict what the apocalypse will bring, if strong team members encounter danger during a task, other members can at least rely on the experienced summaries to pass survival will down the line.

No doubt that it’s vitally important.

After listening to Hu Xiaodong’s narrative, everyone remained silent for a long time, and the previously joyful atmosphere gradually became heavy.

Even though Hu Xiaodong didn’t unduly emphasize wartime atmosphere, everyone present had struggled during the apocalypse, they could imagine the complex and dangerous situation of the time through his description.
