#531 - Chapter 531 A Belated Banquet
Inside a room at the Red Cloud base.
Half-asleep and somewhat irritable, Xiong Sen slapped his ear.
With the recent hot weather, as the deputy leader here, he naturally worked late every day before getting the chance to go home and sleep.
Moreover, falling asleep was difficult; the indoor temperature of over forty degrees Celsius offered no comfort whatsoever, requiring a long period of adjustment before he could勉强 barely drift off.
What's going on?
Why is it so noisy outside?
He rubbed his eyes, feeling annoyed at being woken up after only sleeping for less than two hours.
But it seemed there was a situation at the base, and he needed to go out and see what was happening regardless.
"Everyone, wake up! Leader Yan is back!"
What!?
Xiong Sen jolted upright!
Leader Yan is back!?
Without time to listen to what the others were saying, he rushed out of the room to confirm if it was true!
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw a large group of team members looking up at the sky. Following their gaze, he saw a huge airship hovering there!
Under the base's lights, some traces of repair and reinforcement were faintly visible on the hull, and with this design, it was undoubtedly the same airship that Green Origin had used before!
Leader Yan is really back!
————————————
Once the airship was stable, Sister Hong stepped out of the cabin, her heart surging with emotion. Seeing those familiar faces, even the usually composed her couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she walked to the front of the crowd, saw the excited Xiong Sen, and a group of the base's most respected managers, and said in a deep voice:
"I'm back."
These words expressed her myriad feelings.
A little over a week ago, she couldn't have imagined that so many things would happen during this time.
Fortunately.
It's all over.
"Don't just stand there! Hurry up and help move things!"
Looking at her companions, whose eyes were faintly glistening, she smiled from the bottom of her heart and shouted at them.
"We've completed the mission we promised Green Origin! From now on, we are part of Green Origin!"
"Boss Qin from the new company asked me to bring back some food tonight for their celebration banquet! We're going to have one here too! Everyone, hurry up and move things and get everything set up!"
Completed it!?
The Red Cloud executives naturally knew what mission Leader Yan was talking about; their leader had used this news to persuade Green Origin to help solve the New Sheep City base's problem before.
Leader Yan had been "invited" over by them a few days ago, and in their expectations, it would be at least ten days to half a month before she had any hope of returning.
After all, the granary where that batch of grain was located was over a thousand kilometers away in Xiang Province!
They had calculated that even with sufficient fuel, a large convoy, and a smooth journey, it would take at least ten days to bring the grain back!
But Green Origin had managed to do it in just four or five days...
After a moment of surprise, they stopped dwelling on it.
The difference in strength between the two bases was obvious to all. Now that they had attached themselves to the big tree of Green Origin, they would have backing from now on!
"Go, go, go! Wake everyone up! Clean up the area, we're having a celebration banquet too! Let everyone have a full meal tonight!"
Xiong Sen was the quickest to react, already directing the stunned team members to move the cargo from the airship. The Green Origin team members on the airship still needed to go back soon.
Soon, the Red Cloud personnel, like ants moving house, continuously carried various supplies out of the airship.
"Holy crap! Is this all grain!? We're rich, we're rich!"
"I have a bucket here! Someone come help me! It's a bit heavy!"
"They even have water!? Then the drought won't be a problem!"
"Don't just stand there! Hurry up and make way, I have cooked food here! It's covered and packaged well, but I can still smell the fragrance! Hurry up and help me move it to the cafeteria!"
As the Red Cloud personnel moved things, they discovered that the supplies their leader brought back were basically treasures!
It was either grain, water, or some medicine! All things they desperately needed!
Xiong Sen and some of the base's executives were also stunned.
Wasn't it said that they would only get 1 ton of grain for completing the mission?
How come it looks like there's more than that now?
Seeming to see the confusion of these executives, Sister Hong chuckled and then explained to them:
"Boss Qin said that we are on the same boat, so he gave us an extra 2 tons of grain and 5 tons of clean water, as well as some related medicines to help us get through this drought."
!!
That skinflint Green Origin leader would be so kind!?
Doesn't seem like it!
That day when they went to ask for help at the conference room, they were almost hacked into a daze by that man's blade, and almost had to lean against the wall to walk out of the Green Origin gate.
It was Xiong Sen who was sharp-eyed and familiar with Sister Hong, he carefully looked at this once familiar leader.
She's different from usual!
He couldn't see the kind of inconspicuous dirt on her body as before, her hair and delicate face were extremely neat, although she didn't use any cosmetics, the image of a great beauty jumped out!
When Sister Hong approached just now, the faint scent, whether it was shower gel or body fragrance, made people feel extremely pleasant.
And the faint blush on her face when she mentioned that Boss Qin.
If Xiong Sen didn't have a family at the base, he might have been attracted.
There's something going on!
Hiss——
Could it be!?
Leader Yan is already with that Green Origin leader......
Leader Yan!
Your sacrifice is too great!
But thinking about it from another angle, there really isn't a man in the entire Red Cloud who is worthy of Leader Yan, if it were that Green Origin leader, it seems......
......it's not so unacceptable.
That existence is intelligent and resourceful, and his internal and external conditions can be said to be the top configuration in this apocalypse.
Taking advantage of the gap between other people watching the moving of supplies, Xiong Sen approached Sister Hong, with an expression of gratitude and blessing on his face, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Leader Yan! You've worked hard! Your sacrifice for our base this time is really too great! I will keep the secret for you in the future!"
???
A large string of question marks popped up on Sister Hong's head, unable to figure out what her deputy leader was talking about.
Before she could ask, Xiong Sen had already slipped away to help move items and set up their banquet.
Tilting her head, looking at this scene in a daze, she didn't think much about it.
Because.
The banquet belonging to the Red Cloud base is about to begin!
Midnight cannot stop their passion at this moment!
Becoming a member of Green Origin, having a backer, having supplies to fight the drought, and having the hope of surviving in the future!
It's right to celebrate!
————————————
This night.
Faint laughter of true joy was heard from the Red Cloud base in Shenzhen, and the scattered zombies that heard it outside could not stop their happiness.
They may not have really eaten their fill, for the sake of the future they only tasted a little, leaving the food and drinks for later consumption, but the laughter today was extremely sincere.
They saw the hope of surviving in the future!
