Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse
Chapter 160: Braised Noodles“`
When Lu Hao and his team arrived home, Su Jin and the others had already returned.
The staff outside the villa let out a sigh of relief when they saw that all three cars had finally returned. That morning, three cars had set off together, but only two had come back. They feared that some of the bosses might have encountered danger, but now, seeing all three cars back, they felt at ease.
They hoped that such powerful bosses would always remain safe and sound.
Inside the house, a group of people surrounded a one-meter-tall square machine, emitting sounds of admiration.
They saw that the food-filled vacuum bags, after being vacuum-sealed by the machine, looked just like the product packaging sold in stores. Although they felt stiff to the touch, they seemed well-preserved.
“It’s a success!” Huang Yunxiang said joyfully, holding up a vacuum bag containing four ears of corn.
“You guys are back?”
Su Jin looked at Lu Hao and the others with a smile.
Lu Hao smiled and nodded, then ruffled Su Jin’s hair. It seemed like they had had a smooth day as well.“Little brother, let me tell you, my shop can open very soon!” Guo Yang excitedly shared the content of their discussions that day with everyone.
“Pick anything we want? Isn’t that too good?”
Mrs. Su, Lin Tianhui, said in surprise. It really made a difference knowing someone in charge; indeed, having connections was essential for getting things done anywhere.
However, she also understood that having connections mattered only if the other party respected you. If not for Xiao Jin and Xiao Hao helping them, perhaps the others wouldn’t have agreed so readily. Su Jin was right—increasing their strength was paramount.
“So are we picking out the shop tomorrow?” Liao Yifan asked.
“Tomorrow, I want to take Guo Yang with me to check out that supermarket we discovered today,” Su Jin said.
On their way home, they had seen a chain supermarket, but because there were many zombies around and it was almost dark, they didn’t dare to linger. She wanted to set out early the next day to take a look. If they could gather more supplies, that would be great. Moreover, with Guo Yang’s shop about to open, it was the perfect opportunity to stock up more goods for him to sell.
“Little sister, you’re really the best!” Guo Yang was overwhelmed with gratitude. A chain supermarket, oh! He had never collected from such a place before; the last time in H City, he had only looted the household goods section.
Nie Qing said he wanted to go too. He had visited supermarkets a few times before the Apocalypse and always liked the feeling of shopping there. Now, hearing that they could take anything they wanted from the supermarket, he wished they could all go together right away.
Liao Yifan looked enviously at everyone; she really wanted to go out too, but she was resigned to staying at home for the next few days.
Mao Qiqi saw Liao Yifan’s dejected look and began to tell her about the day’s events.
“There were zombie rats as well?”
Liao Yifan asked in surprise, knowing without thinking that they must have been disgusting, as girls seemed to have a natural aversion to such creatures.
“So many dangers today?”
Xue Wanyi hadn’t expected that Su Jin and her group had encountered so many perilous situations that day.
Seeing Lu Hao’s frown starting to crease again, Su Jin quickly said, “Everyone must be hungry by now, right? Let’s get ready for dinner?”
Upon returning, she had already slipped into the space upstairs to select food for dinner. Her grandfather had already prepared various delicacies and stored them on shelves, telling her to choose whatever she wanted when she came in. Ṛα₦ÖβĘʂ
Feeling like they had been indulging in rich meals these past few days, she chose a dinner that was easier to digest and not so greasy: green beans braised with noodles. The braised noodles were a rich brown color, covered with green beans and fragrant stir-fried pork. Paired with a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup, it was a deeply nostalgic way to eat.
“`
Moreover, within their team, there were many who loved to eat noodles, and after all, these were hand-pulled noodles personally made by Grandpa.
Sure enough, when everyone saw Su Jin bring out a large pot of stewed noodles, they all gathered around.
“I haven’t eaten stewed noodles in so long, I’m so happy!” Xue Wanyi said as he filled a bowl and ate, the stewed noodles tasted just like childhood.
“Yeah, the last time I had them was in H City,” Yin Chengtian started, wanting to say it was at Lin Zhi’s house in H City, but he was afraid of stirring up bad memories for everyone, so he omitted the rest.
Shi Jin also paused for a moment, glanced at Captain Lu, and continued eating, the bowl of stewed noodles filled with nostalgia.
Liao Yifan told everyone about the sight of those workers helping them clean and wipe the fences outside their house today, and everyone was taken aback, realizing that given their respectful and polite behavior these past days, they seemed to have been somewhat arrogant and aloof.
Su Jin sighed and planned to make a slight gesture tomorrow as well, to tell them they really didn’t need to give them special treatment.
That night, Lu Hao held Su Jin in his arms and told her about today’s events.
“He wants you to help manage the base?” Su Jin asked in surprise, but that wasn’t strange, considering Lu Hao’s strength was apparent.
“Yes, I declined.”
“They’ll ask you again.”
Su Jin guessed that having Lu Hao take up a post at the base wasn’t out of the question.
The S City base was different from the others; she remembered that the administrative staff working there had very good welfare and treatment in all respects, so it could be considered a good option.
“Yeah.”
Lu Hao seemed to be listening intently to Su Jin’s explanations, but in reality, his hands had already become restless, Su Jin, fresh from the shower, smelled wonderful.
Su Jin: …
Nie Qing, who lived on the top floor, seemed to have gone into his room to rest, but in fact, had entered the Space to binge-watch a drama. He had actually found the palace drama “Empresses in the Palace” to watch on his own, and he never knew there were so many affairs in the ancient emperor’s harem, nor did he know that there was so much strife between women.
Nevertheless, he watched with great interest; after all, it was a story about the growth of the female lead, and he was quite curious about her ending.
Lu Guanhai also felt that maybe he couldn’t sleep because he was getting older, so he went into the Space to look at the lush green vegetables and fruits he had grown.
It was such a feeling of achievement to watch the plants he had sown grow visibly larger each day, and then to be able to eat what he had grown himself; this sense of accomplishment made him look forward to each day.
Meanwhile, in the vice-residence, Guo Yang and Yin Chengtian were still practicing their Special Abilities.
“Swoosh!”
An Iron Needle suddenly appeared on the curtain but seemed to have no killing power and disappeared again.
Was there an effect?
Guo Yang looked at the Iron Needle in his hand with surprise, wanting to try again, but unfortunately couldn’t replicate the effect he had achieved before.
Guo Yang had been practicing this move in private all this time, and today was the first success. He never thought his whimsical idea could actually become a reality. It seemed that he would have to practice diligently from now on.
