Chapter 20 : C20
The survivor who was with Professor Lin at Base 36 was called Zhang Bin.
Both he and Professor Lin survived from No. 36. Gu Chi thought that they should have a lot to talk about, so he asked Chi Ying to go to Lin Xun’s car and stay with Mu Yu and Song Shi.
Sitting in the unfamiliar co-pilot, Chi Ying still couldn’t forget her great cause of making crosses, and worked hard to make them one by one.
The corner of Lin Xun’s mouth twitched while driving.
Although he was not very familiar with the new girl, he had also experienced her strange behavior. But even so, he would inevitably feel speechless in the face of that kind of behavior.
On the contrary, Mu Yu had become accustomed to it, and asked without any surprise, “Hey, how many do you need?”
She kindly persuaded her, “Those zombies are no longer human beings, they only have human shells.”
Hearing so, Chi Ying shook her head.
She clasped her hands together and raised them to her chin, extremely reverent.
Seeing so, Mu Yu sighed slightly.
Forget it, it was better to let her be.

They didn’t always find a suitable place to spend the night. That night, for example, they were in a very awkward position, in a remote driveway, with no signs of human habitation in sight except trees.
Fortunately, that kind of situation happened from time to time, and they were not completely unprepared.
Mu Yu took out a portable shed from the space. Lin Xun and Lu Yunfei worked together to set up two sheds, barely enough to keep out the wind and rain.
The division of labor in the team was not fixed, and the task of cooking was basically to be done by whoever was idle. That time it was Gu Chi who came to make dinner.
Knowing that she was just eating and drinking, Chi Ying consciously helped prepare dinner.
Cooking outside was troublesome, let alone the wilderness. For convenience, Gu Chi simply stewed the rice with other instant food, and added some salt for taste.
After the rice was cooked, Chi Ying handed Gu Chi an empty bowl, waiting for him to scoop it up and hand it to her before getting up to serve it to everyone.
Accustomed to eating refined rice and fine grains in the laboratory, Professor Lin was a little incapable of accepting that kind of food. Fortunately, he had to eat it with the team those days, and he got used to it a little. But seeing the messy pot, he was still a little anxious.
That looked…
Professor Lin froze, and the gaze he looked at Gu Chi was somewhat indescribable.
Commander, why don’t you stop cooking?
With shaking hands, he took a spoonful and put it into his mouth.
Huh? It was surprisingly good…
Professor Lin’s face was a little weird for a moment.
Had he been distracted by the recent meals. It was pretty good…
Chi Ying handed out the rice bowls to everyone one by one.
When she reached the last person, her fingers were slightly sluggish as she passed the bowl.
She raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Bin who took the bowl with a smile.
That man’s fingers were so cold.
However, on such a summer day, even at night, the body temperature shouldn’t drop to such an extent, right?
Chi Ying thought with some doubts.
She suppressed the strange emotions that flashed through her heart, and went back to take her own bowl to eat.

At the same time, in the safe zone.
After they left, everyone there stared closely at the supplies Gu Chi left there. Although they knew that those things would definitely not fall into their hands in the end…
Leopard and the others walked to the bags of rice naturally, and the two strode back to the place where they usually stored supplies.
Someone in the safe zone said weakly, “…Are you in charge?”
Hearing that, Leopard said loudly, “What? We manage the materials for everyone, and we take so much effort, but it’s not enough?”
“However, your distribution is not even at all… We have twelve adults and two children, and the daily distribution is less than one-tenth of the supplies… We have been hungry for several days.”
“Hmph, how much food can women eat? We are all tall and strong, and we are also responsible for managing order. Of course, we should be allocated more,” another tattooed man said.
“…”
“If you are dissatisfied with the distribution, come and bring us down if you have the ability. Otherwise, even if you die, you have to endure it!”
“You!” A younger woman stood up, full of anger, when she was suddenly stopped by a hand in front of her.
The curly-haired woman looked at her, shook her head, and motioned for her to sit down.
“Sister Li…” The young woman bit her lip and sat back in her seat unwillingly.
“Let me tell you, this supplies, whoever has the ability to grab it first can keep it. If you have the ability, you can grab it from us.”
“Oh! If that’s the case, you shouldn’t take away the supplies we have, right?” The curly-haired woman called “Sister Li” looked at him coldly.
“Hahaha!” The man with the tattoo laughed twice.
Everyone knew that all the supplies from the alliance were managed by them, and people in the West District had no chance to get those materials.
So he was very relaxed and said, “Of course, as long as you have it, hahaha!”
