Chapter 167: Joining the Party

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The layout of the place was like a small city with complete facilities. There were many stone benches and tables that were usually seen in the park. Ye Xingchen had walked around before and did not know who came up with the design here. It was really a combination of Chinese and Western. It had a sense of chaotic beauty.

For example, there was actually an artificial pond, artificial rockery, and even an artificial stream in this place. There was even a pavilion built on top of it. Ye Xingchen reasonably suspected that Wang Mingcong’s father might have participated in the design of this safety fortress.

Everyone came back one after another.

Although it was said to be cleaning up the garbage, it was actually just moving out the scattered corpses in the central kitchen and other places and throwing them down the mountain. They were a little afraid at first and couldn’t bear to do so, but later they became numb. After all, there were too many corpses. It was really hard to imagine what had happened here before.

After entering the door, they quickly rubbed their hands through their gloves.

They were so tired just now that they didn’t want to take a deep breath. After all, the weather was too cold. If they took a deep breath, not to mention their noses, even their lungs would feel a faint pain.

Each of them found a seat and sat down. The people who came with Ye Xingchen had already taken out the bread in their arms and began to distribute it to those who had just returned.

After all, Ye Xingchen had just asked them to stop and have a meal together. Although they were not so hungry that they wanted to eat immediately, they did not want to go against Ye Xingchen’s wishes.

However, just as people started eating the bread, Ye Xingchen and Zhao Hao each carried a tray and walked towards them.

“What, what is that?”

They bit on the bread and even forgot to chew it. The air was filled with the overbearing scent of something Ye Xingchen and the others had brought.

Ye Xingchen thought for a moment. Zhao Hao’s friends were all from other provinces, and it seemed that they all ate spicy food. Since the weather was so cold, he might as well bring them a bowl of hot noodles each, along with plenty of chili peppers and meat, with some broth over it.

“Are these for us?”

They were still in disbelief when bowls of noodles were placed in front of them.

There was such a big bowl of noodles and so much meat on it. It would be enough for the whole family to eat for a few days.

At first, they thought that Ye Xingchen was actually so good to them, taking out such a big bowl of noodles for them to share. But slowly, they realized that the noodles were actually a bowl for each person.

“Eat, why are you waiting? It’s such a cold day. If you don’t eat, it’ll get cold.”

Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia were the last to walk out. Even Zhao Hao had a huge bowl of noodles in front of him.

In fact, Ye Xingchen had already thought about it and calculated it. They were doing physical work, so they had to eat more than ordinary people. Moreover, in such a harsh environment, they were already cold and hungry.

Moreover, to be honest, Ye Xingchen had countless such noodles in his space. Even if he gave them a big bowl of many noodles each, no matter how many years they spent, Ye Xingchen would probably still have a lot of noodles in his space left.

Not to mention the mountain-like piles of meat.

Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia didn’t eat these. They couldn’t eat this many noodles. When they came out, the open bowls in their hands were obviously much smaller than theirs. Their noodles were mixed with minced meat and spaghetti sauce. Ye Xingchen suddenly wanted to eat this kind of food. He wanted to eat something sweet and sour.

“Everyone, don’t just stand there. Let’s eat!”

Ye Xingchen shouted and took the lead to stuff a large mouthful of spaghetti into his mouth.

They saw Ye Xingchen and Lin Sijia’s bowls from afar. The meat in the minced meat spaghetti could not compare to the meat in their hot spicy noodles. All of a sudden, their eyes became moist.

They only felt that Ye Xingchen was the one who ate first and left the most meat for them so that everyone could be full. However, no one knew that Ye Xingchen wanted to change his food after eating too much.

The water was also boiled. There was electricity in the safety fortress, but Ye Xingchen had turned off the heating.

Large flasks of warm water were placed on their stone tables one after another. They buried their heads and ate. From time to time, someone would raise the back of their hand to wipe the tears that flowed from the corners of their eyes.

They only felt that the most correct thing they had done in their lives was to follow the right person and the right boss. Ye Xingchen was really just. Even if he could only eat a little bit of meat, he would let them eat big pieces of meat.

As they ate, they swore in their hearts that they would follow Ye Xingchen for the rest of their lives. They would listen to Ye Xingchen in everything.

Lin Pei was no exception, he was different from the others. Ye Xingchen pulled Lin Pei and Mo Qi to the side. Of course, there was also that invisible person, Qin Tianming.

Ye Xingchen remembered that Mo Qi asked for hamburgers. That was good. Qin Tianming also loved hamburgers.

He took out four hamburgers and a large piece of frozen raw meat from the space.

“Eat, don’t make too much noise.”

With Mo Qi around, Ye Xingchen wasn’t afraid that Lin Pei would suddenly explode. Moreover, Lin Pei’s hands were still handcuffed.

Looking at the large piece of raw meat in front of him, Lin Pei’s eyes felt inexplicably hot. He wanted to cry, but he could not.

Ye Xingchen was the first person to treat him so well other than his family. Lin Pei still remembered that he was just a migrant worker. He was often looked down upon in the big city.

At that time, he had only heard a passerby mention that Ye Xingchen was recruiting people when he was searching for resources. He had only come with the idea of trying his luck. In the end, he did not expect Ye Xingchen to actually accept him.

Later, Ye Xingchen handed him over to Zhao Hao, who treated him very well. Although they had never met before, Zhao Hao did not look down on him at all. He even treated him like a brother.

Even when he was besieged by those mutants, it was Ye Xingchen who came to save him.

Even though he knew that he had been infected and had become a mutant, Ye Xingchen did not kill him and kept him by his side.

Lin Pei turned his head and looked at Ye Xingchen’s back. He swore in his heart that as long as he was alive, he would protect Ye Xingchen. He would not allow anything to hurt Ye Xingchen, even if he died because of Ye Xingchen..
