Chapter 182: A New Journey
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Fu Shinan chose to silently accompany them and in her heart, she mourned silently for the researchers and soldiers who had sacrificed their lives.
For a while, the three of them remained silent, and then there came the sound of hurried footsteps from outside. It was Ji Zan and the others returning!
Fu Shinan quickly stood up to greet her teammates.
Man Yu, with her lively personality, was the first to rush in. “Ah, Fu Shinan, you’re awake? How was your rest?”
Seeing Man Yu’s excited expression, Fu Shinan was a bit puzzled. “You look so happy, your front teeth are almost showing. Did you find something good?”
“It has to be you who guessed it right! Ta-da! Look at what this is!” Man Yu exclaimed and directly opened her backpack, taking out a dusty-looking notebook that appeared to have been burnt.
Fu Shinan took it, thinking it was just an ordinary notebook, and Man Yu’s excitement must be because she found a place to write her novels. However, she was surprised to find that it contained content—a novel about the apocalypse, seemingly written by someone themselves. This surprised her. Didn’t the people from the Changkong Clan know about the apocalypse? Why would someone handwrite a novel with an apocalyptic theme?
Man Yu happily said, “I asked He Zhu, and he said he didn’t know who among our tribe wrote this. It’s probably something they picked up while gathering supplies. I noticed that it has a lot of survival skills written inside. Maybe we can learn something from it.”
Fu Shinan considered it for a moment and, not wanting to dampen Man Yu’s enthusiasm, agreed, “Indeed, it’s a good find. Maybe we can make use of it.”
“Right!” Man Yu beamed with joy upon getting Fu Shinan’s approval and carefully stowed the notebook away.
Shui Ling’er and Wei Xinyi also came to present their findings to Fu Shinan. They had found some pickled vegetables and instant noodles, which were quite valuable, especially for those who had been drinking plain rice gruel for a while. It was almost like a gourmet feast for them.
“You did well,” Fu Shinan praised them generously. Then she saw Ji Zan striding in, and she said, “You haven’t slept much either last night. Haven’t taken a break?”
Fu Shinan’s concern made Ji Zan’s lips curl slightly. He spoke gently, “I did sleep. You look quite energetic, and your rest was good.”
Man Yu, standing nearby, teased, “Is it so hard to rest in peace and quiet? Mr. Ji, afraid that we might disturb you, has sent everyone, including the elderly and children, even the dogs, out to scavenge for supplies! After the Changkong Clan was burnt to ashes, there’s no need for so many people to go searching, right? If you haven’t fully recovered, it would be unfair to all of us!”
Ji Zan remained silent but touched his nose, which was an acknowledgment.
Fu Shinan’s face blushed instantly, and she grabbed Man Yu’s arm, complaining, “That’s right! This time you’ve redeemed yourself! I slept exceptionally well.”
As they spoke, MO Cheng and He Zhu, among others, also returned.
MO Cheng held a small bag and waved it in front of Professor Feng. He revealed a bright smile and said, “Professor Feng, take a look at this!”
Professor Feng received it with a smile and took a quick glance. When he opened it, he exclaimed with excitement, “Are these seeds? This is fantastic!” The few seeds he had seen were more precious to him than his own life. He was waiting for things to settle down so he could cultivate these seeds. They couldn’t rely on scavenging forever. If they could successfully grow the seeds, it would be a rav of hope. Now, seeing MO Chenz bringing more, tears of iov
filled his eyes.
During dinner, Shui Ling’er cooked instant noodles for the two children, while the adults ate pickled vegetables and drank white porridge. Although they might not have paid much attention to these items in the past, they had now become rare delicacies.
Finally, after tasting something different, everyone had a good night’s sleep, and the next day, they set off energetically.
Molly had been following Ji Zan the whole time, bombarding him with questions without a break. Even when Ji Zan didn’t respond, Molly remained undeterred. She was like a little sun, radiating warmth and enthusiasm as she circled around Ji Zan. However, her view of herself as a sun around Ji Zan wasn’t shared by others! Man Yu found her incredibly irritating, thinking she was useless, and failing to see that Ji Zan had no interest in engaging with her. Did Ji Zan have to kill her to find some peace? Man Yu was so frustrated that she clenched her teeth. No one could disrupt her sister’s happiness! She quickly pulled Fu Shinan aside and urged her towards Ji Zan. “Hey, Fu Shinan is tired and can’t walk any farther.. Can you carry her?”
