Feng Yun raised his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the large military truck disappeared instantly. He blinked and didn't feel any discomfort.
So, he continued storing the military trucks in his space. In less than five minutes, there were six military trucks full of supplies inside his space.
When Qin Luzi saw this, he nodded and patted his shoulder with satisfaction. This time, his gaze when he saw his disciple was warmer than before.
"Well done. Now you can go back to your sleep," he said.
Feng Yun was confused by his strange request and asked, "Brother Qin, why did you ask me to keep the trucks?"
"Our armored vehicles are enough for all of us. There is no need to use the trucks. What's more, you can store supplies in your space—why waste the gas by using the trucks to carry the supplies?" Qin Luzi said with a smile.
Although his words made sense, Feng Yun felt that there must be another reason. But since his mentor didn't want to tell him, he didn't insist and returned to his sleeping bag.
The moment he walked back with Qin Luzi, he finally understood the reason. Looking at the large group of survivors, he glanced at his mentor thoughtfully.
Without the military trucks, there was no way for these people to follow them. He understood that they were unwilling to bring these burdens with them.
But how did his mentor know that there would be a large group of survivors coming?
While he was still trying to understand, he saw Jin Xuyan talking to the survivors.
"We still have a mission to do, and we can't bring all of you with us. Tomorrow afternoon at the latest, another group of soldiers will come, and you can go with them," he said.
When they heard his words, everyone panicked, and one of them said, "You are soldiers! It's your duty to protect us, citizens."
"We are hungry and thirsty! You must give us something to eat!" another demanded.
Standing not far from them, Jiao Lizhi watched those women demanding things from Jin Xuyan as if he owed them. Feeling unhappy, she walked over.
When she saw a woman trying to pull at Jin Xuyan's arm, she narrowed her eyes and waved her hand.
Splash!
Suddenly, a ball of water hit the woman's face, drenching her head and upper body. Caught off guard, the woman fall to the ground and let out a yelp.
"Ah! Who is it?" she shouted angrily.
Jin Xuyan was also taken aback and turned his head, only to see his Ah Zhi glaring at him. Instead of feeling unhappy, his heart beat faster with joy.
'Is Ah Zhi jealous?' he thought inwardly.
He grinned like a fool while the woman fumed.
"Who the hell did it?!"
Jiao Lizhi pulled Jin Xuyan's hand so he moved further from the group of women and stood in front of him. With her hands in her pockets, she said, "It's me."
After wiping the water from her face, the woman stood up and asked, "Who are you? Why did you attack me?"
Hearing this, Jiao Lizhi sneered and replied, "Why can't I hit you? Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"
When the soldiers heard her spouting nonsense without blushing, they finally understood why their captain had fallen for her. Birds of a feather flock together. That's a fact.
Standing behind her, Jin Xuyan grinned and nodded as he said, "Ah Zhi is right. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. I have a fiancée, and I can't let any random woman touch me."
Jiao Lizhi glared at him and thought, 'It's not about that! Can't you see that their hands are dirty? Who knows what they touched before? Aren't you afraid you will get a strange disease from them?'
Unfortunately, Jin Xuyan couldn't read her mind and only thought she was jealous and throwing a tantrum.
The group of women was suddenly fed a bowl of dog food so abruptly that they were left speechless. Seeing that the handsome soldier already had a girlfriend, they realized it wasn't wise to go against the petite girl.
One of the older women noticed the tense situation and tried to mediate, "Comrade, we know you have a mission to do, and it's inconvenient for us to follow you. But we are really hungry and thirsty. Can you at least let us stay here and give us something to eat? We will leave tomorrow."
Hearing her words, the other women had no objections. After all, they just wanted to find a safe place. Following this group or another tomorrow made no difference to them—as long as they could eat first. They had almost starved to death.
Jin Xuyan didn't mind giving them some food and water since they had plenty. So, he waved his hand and said, "Yusheng, Xiao Qi, come here."
Hearing their names, both men came over and said, "Captain."
"Yusheng, check the supplies and see if we can get some food for them. If you need help, ask the others," Jin Xuyan said.
As part of the logistics team, Yin Yusheng and Xiao Qi were responsible for their supplies. After receiving their orders, they went to prepare the food.
Noticing that some of the women were injured, Jin Xuyan said, "Gao Bohai, Old Qin, check their wounds."
The moment they heard his words, the women protested instantly.
"How can you let them check our bodies?" a young woman asked while glaring at him as if he was a beast.
Jin Xuyan ignored her gaze and explained, "Anyone with wounds must be monitored for two hours in case they mutate. If you don't want to be checked by the soldiers, you can wait behind the steel gate. After two hours, you can come over."
Hearing his words, the women chose to wait. They used the roadblocks as a perimeter while the soldiers watched over them from the other side of the steel gate.
