#530 - Chapter 530 I'm Home
High above, between Mentang Town and Shenzhen City.
A massive airship was flying rapidly.
It was Airship No. 1, sent by Green Origin headquarters to pick up Chief Hongyun!
Sister Hong sat in the cabin, staring blankly at the dark earth and the faintly twinkling stars outside the window, her eyes unfocused and lost.
Inside the cabin were the grains, water, meals, and medicines Qin Jin had gifted her.
These were all the things Qin Jin had promised in the sub-base dormitory.
He had really prepared everything.
Sister Hong recalled the scene that had occurred not long ago, and her beautiful face couldn't help but flush red again.
Too embarrassing!
She didn't even know why she had acted that way.
After that President Qin finished speaking, she seemed to be bewitched, throwing herself at him and kissing him on the face!!
Yan Hong, Yan Hong!
Where is your dignity!?
Where is the aura of a base leader!?
Why did you lose control like a little girl chasing after a star!?
Have you no shame!?
"Aiya, aiya, aiya—!"
She covered her face and shook her head, casting all distracting thoughts out of her mind.
I don't want to think about it!
When I return to the Red Cloud Base, I'll still be the heroic, mighty, and domineering Chief Yan!
Aside from President Qin and myself, no one else can know about what happened tonight!
...Right?
Never mind.
Anyway, she shouldn't be seeing President Qin often since she's far away in Shenzhen, so let all the awkwardness disappear!
She looked back at the food packed from the Green Origin base, which she hadn't eaten yet.
Although President Qin had told her to eat her fill on the airship, the thought of her mother and her familiar companions in the base made her forget about her hunger.
In a little while, she would share it with the people in the base!
Tonight, the Red Cloud Base would also enjoy Green Origin's blessings, because they were also part of Green Origin!
******
Mentang Town.
The victory celebration tonight was coming to an end.
The people in the small residential area and the large residential area had already returned to their respective places to rest after eating.
Most of them hadn't really finished all the dinner that had been distributed.
They only ate until they were no longer hungry or satisfied, and then stopped immediately.
The rest would be saved for later consumption.
This was an instinct engraved in the bodies of all survivors after experiencing the suffering and hunger of the apocalypse.
Not yet free from hunger, they would save food in their own way to survive the unknown tomorrow. They had not yet reached the point where they could eat their fill without restraint.
Life still required effort.
But they saw the hope of being full in the future here.
As long as they continued to work hard in Green Origin and gradually improve their levels, they would one day be able to eat their fill every meal and no longer have to endure hunger!
Keep going!
******
At the sub-base.
The personnel who had finished dinner had also returned to their respective dormitories to rest.
Many people were moaning and groaning today.
For example, in a certain dormitory.
"Ouch—"
"My stomach feels so uncomfortable!"
"Is this what it feels like to be too full? How is it different from what I imagined? I don't want to be a ghost who died from being full. I just want to be an ordinary person. If I had a chance to do it again, I would choose to eat two fewer bowls of rice."
"No!"
"At least one fewer bowl!"
Xiao Cong lay on the bed, moaning in pain.
He wasn't sick.
He was just too full...
"I told you not to stuff yourself to death. Now you're uncomfortable, right!? Haha, Xiao Cong, why are you always so unlucky? Don't become the first person in our base to die from being too full. You'll be remembered for life!"
His companion couldn't help but tease him.
Who wasn't full?
It's just that some people were full within an acceptable range, and some people overdid it.
People who had experienced hunger could not refuse the temptation to eat another bowl of rice when faced with unlimited rice.
"Who said I was unlucky? Even if I die from being too full today, it's a glorious death! In the future, when people talk about the first person in Green Origin Base to die from eating too much, they will immediately think of me, Wang Xiaocong!"
"Isn't that a complete honor!"
Uh...
The other male team members in the dormitory actually felt that Xiao Cong had a point...
Compared to those survivors who starved to death, isn't dying from eating too much what they dreamed of?
Okay, he has a point...
The dormitory was filled with laughter. Xiao Cong wouldn't die tonight. With his powerful stomach, it would only take some time to digest.
The fan rotating on the ceiling was like the gears of fate, constantly turning.
Their story continued.
******
Main Base.
The banquet here had just ended, and the transportation team members who had come to enjoy the rewards had also returned to their respective places to rest.
They left with satisfaction.
Many people even had tears in their eyes as they left.
They were truly and wholeheartedly devoted to the base.
If one day someone stood in front of them and spat on Green Origin, what awaited these people might be the thunderous fury of these transportation team members.
Before leaving, many people still said the same thing:
"The best decision I made this year after the apocalypse was to join Green Origin!"
"No exceptions!"
Qin Jin smiled after hearing this.
The meal tonight was worth it.
After Qin Jin saw Sister Hong off, he returned to the banquet hall to continue drinking with the team members.
He naturally wouldn't mention what happened at the sub-base to anyone.
Although he felt the amazing figure of Chief Yan and the kiss she gave him when she hugged him, he didn't think she had fallen in love with him because of it.
Perhaps it was gratitude.
That must be it.
When the banquet ended, he felt a bit dizzy from drinking a lot of alcohol.
After confirming with the base cadres that the banquet covering the entire base was a complete success and that security work had not been neglected, he greeted the captains and returned to his small home to sleep.
He slept exceptionally comfortably and sweetly.
The base's development had reached a new level, with numerous weapons, food, equipment, more than two thousand people, and layers of Green Origin life belts surrounding it.
It could temporarily be said to have the capital to sleep soundly.
Good night.
******
Shenzhen City.
Red Cloud Base.
The personnel on night watch on the wall yawned boredly.
The weather had been explosively hot recently, even reaching over forty degrees at night. The lurking zombies rarely came out to wander around at night, which was truly touching.
Just as the personnel on night watch on the wall were dozing off, the walkie-talkie they were carrying suddenly rang.
One of the personnel jolted awake and answered, but an unexpected voice came from inside!
"I am Yan Hong!"
"Wake up everyone in the base immediately!"
"Tell them, I'm bringing food and dinner home!"
