Chapter 268: A Doer
Xia Yan certainly wouldn't argue with this old lady who said one thing and meant another.
She ordered a bowl of plain noodles and ate it slowly.
Suddenly she remembered something and took out a pen and paper, "Didn't you say you were going to write a missing person notice? Write it now. I'll post a few more in the branch and base when I get back."
Lin seemed to be struck by lightning, her body shook heavily, and she stood there in a daze.
After a long time without waiting for her to take over, Xia Yan raised her head in confusion, only to see Lin's eyes red and at a loss, her palms shaking as she rubbed them on her clothes again and again.
In the blink of an eye, Xia Yan seemed to hear a crisp sound of something breaking, and then it scattered all over the floor.
"...I..."
Lin's voice was embarrassed and hoarse. She turned to the window abruptly, grabbed her sleeves with the back of her hands and rubbed them back and forth on her eyes. The long-worn cuffs were hard and rough, leaving tiny red marks.
Lin took the pen and paper from her hand and said stiffly, "Thank you."
Xia Yan didn't say anything, picked up the bowl of noodles and drank a mouthful of soup, and continued to eat noodles as if nothing had happened.
Lin's tense shoulders slowly relaxed, and her eyes moved down inch by inch, falling on the white paper that was folded because she used too much force.
From the moment Boss Xia agreed, she was overwhelmed by the suffocating surprise.
Along the way, she had been thinking about how to write a missing person notice.
Should I write "Dear, are you doing well now?"
Or should I write "She is still alive, don't worry?"
Neither is appropriate.
The tide of surprise faded, and uneasiness, anxiety, expectation, and fear followed one after another. Each emotion was a powerful hurricane that swept through her brain, making her dizzy and nauseous!
What if that person is no longer in the world? The belief that has always supported her to live will be overthrown.
But what if she is still alive...
Lin lowered her head in pain and grabbed her hair tightly.
What will she become... How did she escape... How to face it...
"You don't have to think so much." Xia Yan, who was driving beside him, said lightly, "It's just that one base, the population is not large, and it is not certain that we can find her."
Lin, who was trapped in the devil's barrier, was stunned.
Yes, it's just to help post a missing person notice, the possibility of finding her is too small.
No need to waste time.
Lin stood up again, put her hands on her thighs, stared stiffly ahead, and sorted out her thoughts.
The last ray of sunset outside the car window was slowly dissipating in the sky, the half-human-high weeds were motionless, and the small mutant beasts hiding in them quickly passed by, and the sound of biting could be heard faintly.
Xia Yan turned on the car lights, and the bright high beams shone in a fan shape, breaking a way home in the dark.
...
When we finally got back to the hotel, it was almost half past nine. Most of the customers in the building had turned off the lights and rested early. Only a few young people couldn't sleep and lay on the floor of the safe zone looking at the ink-like sky.
It was pitch black and I didn't know what I was looking at.
Lin hurried upstairs. Boss Xia's words: Don't worry, give it to her when you finish writing, let her take a long breath.
Xia Yan parked the car behind the hotel and took out dozens of cars that she had harvested today one by one. She placed the RV in the middle like a star among the stars. It was not enough to mark it with the system. She called the meticulous Zhikang and handed him a bottle of spray paint, asking him to spray the words "resort hotel" in the most conspicuous place.
Going back to the front, she took out all the boxes that were put away in the supermarket. There were three boxes in total, forty boxes in length, and five boxes in width, like a thick collapsed wall, which was very spectacular.
The young people lying on the ground were frightened and stared with their eyes wide open.
Xia Yan clapped her hands in satisfaction, took out two paper cutters, and called Xiongxiong to experience the joy of opening blind boxes together.
This scene happened to be seen by Chu Wanfu who came from Lidai Island.
He came back to see if the other wave of soldiers had returned safely, not to rush and hurt his heart.
Why is my heart throbbing with pain? I have to go back and get the defibrillator from the hospital...
Looking at the boxes that were obviously more than twice as many as his own, Chu Wanfu was so envious that his back teeth were almost broken.
"Boss Xia, you have gained a lot."
"Working hard" Xia·Hard-working·Yan raised his head and smiled beautifully.
"There are still cars in the back. When you are waiting to rent them, you are welcome to pick them up, General Chu."
Chu Wanfu:? ? ?
Thinking about it, the soldiers should have returned a long time ago. I just finished my meal and my stomach is a little full, so I took a walk.
I turned the corner to the back of the hotel. My eyebrows couldn't help but jump, and sour bubbles appeared in my heart.
Knight 15, Mercedes, Snapdragon...
She really knows how to choose, all luxury cars! Can I afford the gas...
At this time, an armored vehicle next door rushed in with a roar, and stopped gracefully with a dragon swinging its tail, which can be called a textbook standard.
The car door opened, and the soldiers who got out were the ones he had arranged to guard outside the hospital and return to the team if they couldn't wait for them.
Chu Wanfu swept back and forth on the "mounts" of both sides, and suddenly felt that he had to open up the situation.
Shouldn't he enjoy the luxury car he had never driven before while he was still alive?
Which man's dream "lover" doesn't have a handsome Snapdragon, Predator, Hummer and Raptor?
The soldiers finally noticed him - and a row of cars, trotting over to report the battle situation.
Chu Wanfu listened quietly and pointed to the rows of hotel "war vehicles", and his quiet voice was slightly raised.
"Your goals tomorrow are, one, get a car, two, pump gasoline, and three, search for pharmacies along the way."
The goal is a car? !
The soldiers looked at the car opposite with envy, their eyes brightened, their heads held high, "Yes!"
After hearing this magnificent call, Xia Yan in front looked back, not knowing what they were doing.
"Boss, this plunger?"
"It will be distributed tomorrow, one for each room."
Xia Yan retracted her gaze and waved, marked the word "balloon" on the box with a marker, and moved it aside.
After Chu Wanfu separated from his men, he was not in a hurry to go back to the villa to rest, but stood aside to watch her unpack.
"General Chu, don't look at it, there are so many boxes of ceramic tableware, you don't need it."
Xia Yan wrote down "Tableware Fifteen" and asked Zhi Cang to move it to a small trailer and send it to the detoxification store for disinfection. Seeing him towing an empty trailer back, Xia Yan knew that this was also one of the "raw materials" for high-end restaurants.
Saving points again, so motivated.
Although she got a lot of things, 1/3 of them were tableware.
It was indeed a piece of chicken ribs for Chu Wanfu, but when she offered the compressed biscuits, the moment the two looked at each other, Chu Wanfu suddenly felt that maybe he shouldn't be here?
Damn it.
This feeling of "forced buying and selling" made him unable to stop.
"How about," he tried to say: "Exchange?"
Tableware for compressed biscuits, both are what the other party needs.
Xia Yan lowered her eyelashes and glanced at the suggested retail price.
One 28, one 7.
"Okay, exchange."
She agreed too readily.
Chu Wanfu instantly felt depressed that the price was too high.
Or, re-quote?
Before he could speak, Xiongxiong led a person to "save the situation".
"Boss, something's wrong!"
