Chapter 29: Arrangement

Chapter 29: Arrangement

Although no specific leader was elected, it was almost certain that Dong Junwei, Tang Jing, and Chen Mu would make major decisions for the nine-member team in Class 4 of Grade 12.

Regarding Zhao Xiaoyan's life and death situation, Chen Mu refrained from expressing opinions, leaving it naturally to the former two to decide.

However, it was evident that Dong Junwei and Tang Jing, who were well aware of Wei Dalei's relationship with Zhao Xiaoyan, just like Chen Mu, were not willing to make such a decision.

As a result, the final decision-making authority fell to Wei Dalei.

Wei Dalei held a somewhat special position within the team. Given his restless personality, he was naturally not involved in making significant decisions. However, being the team's foremost combat power, nobody would want to offend him, no matter who they were.

Clearly, Old Wei didn't expect that after going around in circles, the final decision would still rest with him.

Looking at Zhao Xiaoyan's pitiful appearance, Wei Dalei finally had to agree.

After nodding, he actually felt relieved, as Zhao Xiaoyan had said. About 90% of the team's combat power was concentrated between Chen Mu and himself, and perhaps it would be safer to follow them.

Since the departure was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, Chen Mu didn't participate in the construction of the base during these two days. He secluded himself to practice his abilities.

However, the rest of the team had plenty to do.

For instance, sticking posters on the walls of their plastic house.

After all, there were gender differences, and it had been uncomfortable not having them before. After a while, they finally made some improvements.

On the boys' side, they used the long knife Chen Mu crafted to cut towels into two small pieces and laid them in the room, giving it a somewhat tatami-like feel.

During these two days, Dong Junwei devoted herself to making bombs.

Following Chen Mu's advice, everyone collected a pile of pebble-sized stones (relative to the current human size).

Because they were now much smaller in stature, and with improved proficiency and mental power, Dong Junwei could now produce around ten of these smaller-sized bombs in a day.

...

Time passed in the blink of an eye.

Now, it has been a full five days since the apocalypse arrived, and everyone seems to have gradually accepted and adapted to their current life. However, they remain largely ignorant of the outside world.Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

After the last attack, Chen Mu became even more cautious. He and Wei Dalei took turns patrolling outside the door for a short while, though they dared not venture too far, as they vividly remembered what happened to Gu Ping.

After all, this time was different from the last water-fetching trip; the cafeteria area was much larger. If they couldn't find food easily, they might have to spend the night outside.

...

The three of them set off in a car.

Chen Mu's knowledge of the cafeteria was limited to the front hall, where they ate. But most of the food was undoubtedly concentrated in the back kitchen, a place that ordinary students like Chen Mu couldn't access.

Fortunately, Tang Jing had an uncle who worked in the cafeteria.

Tang Jing had explained the layout of the back kitchen in detail to Chen Mu, even drawing a floor plan on the ground and speculating about some possible places where food might be stored.

Their first target was the steaming room in the kitchen, not for rice but for flour.

Since they couldn't cook directly, using flour to make bread would be a better option than rice.

Most importantly, according to Tang Jing, the steaming room contained all the condiments needed in the cafeteria.

After several days without salt, their mouths were now completely devoid of any flavor.

Humans still needed to replenish salt, especially in the summer when sweating profusely. Drinking only water could lead to problems sooner or later.

With a clear objective in mind, Chen Mu followed the planned route.

After walking for a while, Wei Dalei started caring for Zhao Xiaoyan, asking if she was feeling hot or tired. Soon after, he let her sit on the flatbed cart and pushed her along the way.

With his crush seated on the cart, Wei Dalei was in high spirits. He tried to keep the cart steady as much as possible while humming popular songs out of tune.

It seemed a bit like Zhu Bajie carrying his wife.

Chen Mu walked behind them, looking at the two with a smile on his face.
