Chapter 317: Chapter 157: Brother, I want_2
It took the three of them all morning to each find a small backpack’s worth of supplies, yet Fatty alone was able to find two Giant Serpent bags!
Indeed, people really shouldn’t be compared!
“Cough… Fatty, you’re amazing! To find so much on your own!”
Tian Peng rubbed his hands together.
“I really admire you, Fatty. Look at us, we searched all morning and only found this little bit…”
Yu Wei patted his somewhat shrunken backpack, his expression helpless.
Li Yi didn’t feel his looting was lacking, as he had enough for his own use.
He was their camp’s guardian deity!
Whether it was combat ability or scavenging ability, who could compare with Fatty?
It was only normal for them to fall short!
Li Yi was about to say, “Actually, we’re not that bad,” but before he could speak, Tian Peng suddenly said,
“How about it, Fatty, can you lend me some of your supplies? You know, I’m thin-skinned, and if I take this little back, I’m afraid I’ll be talked about…”
Upon hearing this, Li Yi’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Thin-skinned? Tian Peng harassed married women every night and never showed a thin skin!
And borrowing supplies? Was that even something you could borrow?
Just when Li Yi thought Fatty would refuse, Fatty just smiled and scratched his head.
“I can’t thank you enough, Fatty! You’re really like a brother to me!”
Tian Peng immediately praised him, then skillfully went through Fatty’s bags and quickly found where the food was stored. He grabbed the food and stuffed it into his pockets without any reservation.
Li Yi watched, dumbfounded. Was this really happening? Had Fatty actually agreed?
But what stunned him even more was when Yu Wei spoke up, his face filled with sorrow,
“Sigh, my wife has had a high fever lately, bedridden. I’ve looked all morning and haven’t found any fever medicine… I don’t know if she can make it…”
Li Yi’s eyes widened again.
Yu Wei’s wife had a high fever and was bedridden?
Then who was the woman who had sent him off that morning?
“Medicine? I, I think I have some…”
Fatty pointed to one of the Snake Skin Bags, somewhat bashfully.
Before he had even finished speaking, Yu Wei had rushed over and rummaged through Fatty’s organized supplies.
“Thanks so much! I was just worrying about not having medicine! Really grateful! If you ever need anything, Fatty, just say the word. I, Yu Wei, am at your beck and call!”
However, despite having said he was missing fever medicine, he took away both family medical kits, leaving only the last one for Fatty.
Fatty didn’t object, merely scratching his head and smiling goofily.
Li Yi was somewhat dumbstruck. Was the protector of their camp so easy to persuade? He had not been at the camp for long and was not very familiar with its ways, but this guardian deity was very different from what he had imagined…
For the shameless behavior of his two companions, the young man felt a strong sense of disdain. This was nothing less than taking advantage of an honest person! He was ashamed to associate with them!
At that moment, Tian Peng suddenly turned back to the young man and said,
“Little Li, didn’t you say you haven’t eaten even one meal today? You also mentioned you were extremely hungry. Fatty here has some ready-to-eat food. Would you like some?”
Li Yi was taken aback.
They had just eaten before seeking out Fatty! Moreover, he still had a white flatbread from last night’s meal in his backpack…
“Little Li, you, you eat.”
Fatty pointed to the food, speaking with a slight stutter.
Li Yi opened his mouth but found himself at a loss for words.
“What are you waiting for! Come here! You can’t let down Fatty’s kindness!”
Tian Peng waved frantically at Little Li.
Little Li wanted to refuse; after all, this was Fatty’s supply. There was no difference between using such excuses to trick Fatty out of his supplies and stealing.
However, unable to articulate a refusal, especially after seeing Fatty’s earnest gaze, Little Li subconsciously lowered his head and took a couple of steps forward, his face slightly red.
By the time he regained his senses, he was already by Tian Peng’s side.
“Take it, all this is Fatty’s kindness. Don’t be shy!”
Tian Peng immediately stuffed some bagged food into Li Yi’s hands.
Li Yi lowered his head and responded with a murmur.
Indeed, it was Fatty’s kind gesture, and refusing it would embarrass Fatty…
Watching the three pick through his belongings, Fatty showed no displeasure, only a silly grin.
A moment later, all three backpacks were bulging, and although Fatty’s supplies still seemed abundant, the valuable items had been picked clean, reducing the worth by at least half.
Li Yi’s cheeks were still red, and he found it hard to look directly at Fatty, but the middle-aged man and the camo-clad man were more at ease, standing beside Fatty and happily chatting.
But it was mostly them talking, with Fatty listening.
Around two in the afternoon, having rested sufficiently, the three prepared to return to the camp.
In this rainy weather, it was already getting dark outside, and any later might mean not being able to return at all.
Fatty led the way, with Yu Wei and the others following behind.
Before long, a few zombies stumbled through the rain towards them. But due to the noise of the rain, the zombies didn’t notice them.
Wielding a horned hammer, Fatty walked straight up to the zombies and struck them in the head.
