"I—I don't want to be the Minister of Logistics, I want to fight."

Looking at Hu Tao's solemn expression, Gu Yu and I didn't speak, and my mother patted Hu Tao's arm and said that there would be a chance in the future.

Hu Tao nodded, obediently followed his mother to the kitchen, the two cooking rooms were half-open, the fragrance of the food was overflowing, although there was no oil, but the taste of stewed and cured meat with green vegetables still aroused people's appetite.

Even I, a zombie who has lost interest in food, want to serve a bowl and taste it, but I just think that there is not much food collected along the way, so naturally I can't do meaningless consumption.

This evening was our first dinner since the attack on the riverside, and more than 20 people were crammed into one room to eat, and I sat with Nini and Gu Yu in my arms.

Although Long Tao and Li Huaiqing have woken up, their physical strength has not fully recovered, they don't need to eat like me, they run down to have a good time.

Hu Tao and A Ying were responsible for distributing the meals to everyone, and sat down at the same table with Zheng Chao, Zhou Li, and Zhang Jianing.

Mom and Dad took the child rescued by Ah Ying to build a table with a bench, except for those of us who were just sitting and watching, everyone else had to find their own tables.

Cao Baoyang is still around my neck, he is not interested in human food, but he is very curious about Nini, and he talks to her from time to time.

I've already explained his changing abilities and background to everyone, but no one else has seen his true body yet, and he doesn't seem to want to be exposed to people, I think he needs time to adapt to the new environment, so I didn't say anything.

Everyone ate and chatted, and almost all of them imagined the future, which house was suitable for long-term living, which land would be planted in the future, and so on.

Listening to these trivial chatters, I couldn't help but gently lean on Gu Yu's shoulder, the pastoral life is desirable, hope is not extinguished, and there is always the possibility of realization.

The room was burning warm, and the window was covered with a layer of white mist, I was not sleepy, I just felt soft, and I didn't want to move when I leaned on Gu Yu.

Xiao Han sat in the wheelchair I picked up, he ate quickly, and no one else chatted, swallowed four compressed biscuits in a few bites, quickly drank the soup in the bowl, wiped his mouth and rolled the wheelchair next to me.

I could see that he had something to say, but I sat up slightly straighter and asked him first what was wrong?

"King—"

"Don't, you're not a zombie, don't call me that."

"Okay, Miss Sang, I have something I want to tell you."

I nodded, and I listened to him continue: "My friend also has an older brother, who is also an expert, he is a meteorite researcher, and he was in the capital when the disaster broke out, can you do me a favor and help me inquire about this person?" ”

"In a hurry?"

"No hurry, no hurry, I just want to ask him for one thing, of course, if the other person is no longer there... That can't be helped. ”

Judging from Xiao Han's expression, he was quite eager to find this person, or rather, he was very anxious to verify the matter, saying 'not in a hurry', but his eyes couldn't deceive people.

"He also studies source stones?"

"Yes, he is my senior, and the first mother stone was found by him, and the person who can be accepted by the mother stone is also found by him."

The source stone is of great significance to me, and now it seems that it also has an impact on Gu Yu, but Xiao Han's contact with the source stone research time is still short, and the information he told me is also from the seniors in the same group, and the person he is looking for should know the source stone better than him.

"Nacheng, I'll inquire for you when I have the chance, but I won't go to the capital in a short time, you have to wait."

"Thank you." After a pause, he added, "Thank you very much." ”

It may be that he has slept well and eaten enough, Xiao Han's face is a little less haggard and more energetic, these people in the house are all from the Pure Land, everyone has been in the same boat for so long, there is no mess, and everyone has taken care of Xiao Han very much in the past few days.

In fact, I know very well that a small number of people can do anything, and now these people are in the same boat, firstly because there is no shortage of food, and secondly, because there is no other group of survivors to join.

To put it bluntly, everyone is an acquaintance, and they were escorted by us all the way, so naturally there was no provocation to make trouble.

One monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink.

And if you want to stand on the troubled times, it is far from enough to rely on these people in front of you, not to mention the capital and security area, let's just say that the Song family, Qin Dong and those mysterious shoppers who enter and leave the Zhenyi Pavilion, the forces behind them are all urging me to strengthen the team and improve my strength.

I was spinning around and decided to vaccinate the group first, and when they were full of food and drink, I stood up.

"Listen to me." I raised my voice a little, and after attracting everyone's attention, I lowered the monotony again: "Now the high-level zombies and mutant animals are more powerful than before, and the battle between the various forces will become more and more intense, the last raid caused us to lose 13 people, 9 of them have just awakened their abilities, I think everyone knows the current situation." ”

I watched the faces of the crowd and made sure that no one showed any 'opposition' before saying, "For the sake of the camp and everyone's safety, we need to recruit more survivors, especially those who know how to do it." ”

What will happen without the protection of the supernatural, everyone knows in their hearts, not to mention dealing with mutated animals and zombies, just encountering robbers and bandits is enough for people, and if you don't keep it, it will become someone's rations.

Resource sharing is inevitable, and some people ask about the distribution of housing, food, and land, and there are many empty houses in small towns, but for the sake of better management in the future, they cannot be allowed to live casually.

It is too troublesome to count the meters according to the number of people, so in the end, it is calculated according to the room, one person occupies a room, and two people can get a set of two rooms and one kitchen when they live together.

Just if you want a house, you can't eat a big pot of rice, you can take the ingredients back to your own home, after all, there are many adults, and they are not children who need to be taken care of.

In the absence of external threats, it is most basic to be able to live independently, and people like Grandpa Han and Nini who need to be taken care of are temporarily living in hotels.

The child that Ah Ying picked up was called Wang Qi, who was not big but very sensible, and today Li Huaiqing was taken care of by him alone, and Li Huaiqing proposed to let the child live in the same room with him.

The rooms in the hotel are basically standard rooms, one room with two beds, Ah Ying and Zhang Jianing live in one, parents live in one, Long Tao and Hu Tao live in another, Grandpa Han and Xiao Han lived in one room when he first came, although I wanted to disassemble Long Tao and Hu Tao and let them take care of the elderly and the disabled respectively, but Grandpa Han said that he did not agree with anything, he said that he was a burden, if he was not allowed to do something, he would have no face to eat in the future.

Of course, we didn't think he was a burden, but we were afraid that he would have a burden in his heart, so he took care of Xiao Han.

There were a few other people, each teamed up to share a room, and only six people went out to live alone.

Gu Yu and I each occupy two double rooms, which are the only two 'luxury' rooms in the hotel, and the remaining two single rooms are as small as rat nests, and we can't live in them, so there is really no need to wronged ourselves.

There is naturally a reason for living in a big bed room, I threw Cao Baoyang to Gu Yu, I took Nini, and the two children can't live alone, so they can only be shared between me and Gu Yu.

Cao Baoyang was a little reluctant at first, but according to his age, he would definitely sleep in his own room before the end of the world, and I would never develop the habit of sleeping with his 'mother' at such an age.

"Go ahead, this is your dad, sooner or later you have to get acquainted." I pushed Cao Baoyang, who had changed back to the original, to Gu Yu.

“…… Dad, Dad? Cao Baoyang's expression was a little cramped, but the simple two words showed his anxiety.

"Hmm." Gu Yu answered, bent over and took Cao Baoyang's hand: "It's time to sleep." ”

Gu Yu is not good at coaxing children, but I can still hear that his tone is deliberately softened, as if Cao Baoyang, who looks like a ghost child, is just an ordinary child.

Cao Baoyang's hand was held, and he called his father a few more times, each time the emotions expressed in the voice were different, the first three times were doubts, temptations and uncertainties, and the last time was full of joy.

He can identify 'Mom' by his breath, why is it his turn to recognize his dad so hastily? I secretly wondered, but I heard him say excitedly: "I have a father, they said I didn't, so I did!" ”

I really didn't ask Cao Baoyang about his father when I met him, but now I know that he is a single parent, and Shirley is a single mother?!

He is at the age of longing for both parents, and in two years, I am afraid that my psychology will change, and I patted Nini in my arms, who was now able to speak whole sentences, and she was logical and articulate, and I suspected that this was the rhythm of becoming a refinement.

Even though the zombies didn't need to sleep, they had to rest, so I carried Nini back to my room, which was heated to keep out the cold outside the window.

The inn has an independent boiler, and the work of burning the boiler is undertaken by ordinary survivors on their own initiative, with a 12-hour shift and two shifts in turn.

The furnace is filled with coal, and before the next coal filling, you can move freely during this period, and you can sleep a little at night, which is easier than sorting out supplies.

But coal, a non-renewable resource, will not be available in the future, and if there is no heating in the winter in the north, it will not be able to live in people.

I put Nini on the bed, and lay on the edge of the bed myself, staring at the ceiling and thinking about the trivial things and the possibilities for the future.

Suddenly, I remembered something I had heard about in Xintaoyuan - the gas station that had not dried up after a few months!

Of course, Gu Yu and I both suspected that there might be a 'resource' type of ability who could create a steady stream of fuel, but Shangguan Mo later disrupted the plan and failed to confirm our suspicions.

Hope is better than no hope, maybe there are really resource-based abilities in the world, who can not only make oil, but also gas and coal......

Thinking so, Nini got out of the covers, grabbed my arm, and said she wanted to draw.

Every time she painted, it was a big deal, and I didn't dare to slack off, so I ran downstairs to the counter and took out the paper and pen, put the pen and paper on the table, and then breathed lightly, watching her draw little by little the 'future' that will soon come.
