Chapter 421
After walking out of the tent, Qi Mingyu, Tao Zheng, Xiao Liu and others gathered briefly, talked about their farewell feelings for a while, and then left in a hurry.
He went to find Xiao Xiao and told her about this.
Xiao Xiao was surprised. After a moment's thought, she said, "Since he's your former mayor, his status is unquestionable. However, it's really too much pressure for our base to accommodate so many people at once. We don't even have enough housing."
Qi Mingyu also thought about it on the way back and told him General Zhao's request.
Xiao Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is of great importance. I need to hold a meeting before deciding."
Qi Mingyu understood very well.
When he returned home in the evening, the meal was already prepared and waiting for him.
Zhou Shuwan, who was always busy in the hospital, had returned and was serving food to the table.
When I saw him come back, I asked him to wash his hands first.
After sitting at the dinner table, Qi Mingyu met the family's curious gazes. He knew they all wanted to know about the more than 10,000 survivors outside the base. After a moment of silence, he recounted what had happened today, concluding with a hint of emotion: "I didn't expect that they would be my teachers and former teammates..."
The Zhou family and Grandma Pang were also very surprised.
Qi Mingyu then recounted in detail his reunion with General Zhao and the entire process of the fall of the capital base.
The Zhou family sighed deeply after hearing this. Grandma Pang lamented the impermanence of life. She tremblingly picked up a piece of cod and said slowly, "In this chaotic world, living a day is like walking on the edge of a knife. No one knows what will happen tomorrow..."
"Xiao Yu, what are you going to do?" Zhou Jianghai looked at Qi Mingyu.
The latter shook his head: "It all depends on the base's opinion. Xiao Xiao may not be able to make the decision."
"Yes, this is a big deal." Zhou Jianghai nodded.
When he returned to his bedroom, Zhou Shuwan looked at him with a scrutinizing look on his face.
Qi Mingyu held her gaze for a moment, then gently embraced her, sniffing the familiar, reassuring scent on her body. He whispered, "I've already asked around, and there are only three teammates left in our team: Tao Zheng, Xiao Liu, and Sang Zi. The others have all died, as well as the teacher."
He paused, his tone heavy with sorrow. "Actually, I've thought about this a long time ago. There are so many natural disasters after the apocalypse. They're not retired like me. They still shoulder the responsibility of rescue, so it's impossible for them to be unscathed..."
He still felt uncomfortable hearing that all of them had brothers who turned their backs to the enemy on the battlefield.
Zhou Shuwan patted him on the back and awkwardly consoled him, "Look at the bright side. Transportation is almost completely cut off now. You two would never have met in your lifetime, but you still managed to run into them. This is fate! Especially for the teachers who have been so kind to you."
Qi Mingyu nodded with a smile on his face: "You are right."
But when he thought about how the base would handle this matter, a hint of sadness still appeared between his brows.
Zhou Shuwan looked at Qi Mingyu, who had a heavy expression on his face. After a moment's thought, he said, "Tomorrow I'll go with you to see the teacher. He saved your life, and I'll go and recognize him. We'll also see if I can be of any help."
Qi Mingyu looked up at her, a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes, and he said "hmm" softly.
The next day happened to be the weekend, and Zhou Shuwan got everything ready early in the morning.
She took three cods that were more than an arm's length, a dozen sweet sun-dried fish she brought from the beach, two roosters, five pounds of eggs, five pounds of dried kelp, a dozen bundles of hydroponic vegetables, and five pounds of mutant potatoes, and piled them all on the cart.
After thinking about it, he took out five bottles of canned rat meat and five packets of hot pot ingredients.
Finally, add some clean, warm clothing.
Seeing her busy like a little bee, Qi Mingyu was amused at first, and then moved.
These things are extremely precious in this era of material scarcity.
It’s a long journey. Even if the technology of the capital base is more advanced than theirs, how can they have good food and drink?
Qi Mingyu had asked during the day, and found out that Tao Zheng and the others only ate compressed biscuits and dried meat. It took them nearly half a year to walk here from the capital, and everyone had severe symptoms of malnutrition.
So this time Zhou Shuwan brought some food and supplies to the teacher and Qi Mingyu's teammates, hoping to improve their living conditions.
