Chapter 171: Standardization

Chapter 171: Standardization

Among all the food, about half of it went into Yu Yuan's stomach. Although there hasn't been any precise research, for now, as long as they stay around this guy, they won't feel hungry.

"No wonder, the last time we ate, it was almost a whole day ago, yet I didn't feel hungry at all."

He Ying and Chen Mu split a potato in half, but holding it in their hands, they still didn't have much appetite.

Unlike Li Bosan's group, they didn't find tomatoes and roasted potatoes particularly tempting.

"In that case, it seems the dozens of boxes of eggplants and green peppers at home have found their destination," He Ying said with a smile.

"It's hard to say, let's wait until Tang Jing takes a look," Chen Mu nibbled on the potato in his hand. Although he didn't feel hungry either, his upbringing made him reluctant to waste food.

"What do you think of Xin Ping from before?"

He Ying held the potato in his hand for a long time without the desire to eat it. He happened to see Yu Yuan finish his own portion and greedily eyeing Li Bo Zhou Xuliang, so he gave his half to him.

The chubby boy expressed his thanks repeatedly, saying how beautiful his senior sister was.

Chen Mu swallowed the potato in his mouth and said, "With so many people in Qingbei, it's inevitable that there will be good and bad ones, so there's naturally someone like Song Yu and Xin Ping."

"Will he die?"

"I don't know. I'm not a doctor, but as long as the bleeding is stopped in time and there's no tetanus, he shouldn't die. However... I estimate his hand won't be preserved."

"Yeah, it looks like you messed it up pretty badly," He Ying's expression didn't change much. Since the apocalypse began, he had witnessed many even bloodier and more brutal scenes.

"The other hand will probably be worse off; it may become gangrenous first."

"So he will be crippled?"

"If his abilities require the use of both hands, it's likely to have an impact." Chen Mu nodded and then sighed, "I was afraid he would fight back desperately, so I went a bit too hard. As you saw, his abilities are terrifying. If I didn't disable his hand first, I wouldn't have the mindset to negotiate."

"Does this mean we are now fully at war with Qingbei?" He Ying felt somewhat uneasy.

"We can only prepare for the worst," Chen Mu also felt quite helpless.

"Speaking of which, that person named Liang Yan is also formidable."L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

"Now that I think about it, it's more likely that he was bluffing. Otherwise, he would have attacked us with energy bullets right from the start, which would have been much easier," Chen Mu said.

"I think the same."

Anyway, Tang Jing was interested in all ceremonial matters and loved creating regulations and procedures for everything.

The most absurd thing was that she even posted a guide to using the toilet on the restroom wall, clearly stipulating: the direction one should face when using the toilet; the correct way to use the squat toilet's handrails; the folding method of toilet paper, and the recommended number of sheets after each use, etc...

Although no one actually followed what she wrote, Tang Jing remained enthusiastic about it.

...

After returning to the house, Dong Junwei held a separate welcoming ceremony for Yu Yuan and the other two.

For newcomers, there were naturally corresponding regulations for the welcoming ceremony, and the specifications varied based on the number of people and their importance.

These rules were, of course, Tang Jing's doing.

Although they were initially criticized, after getting used to it, everyone found it more convenient. Especially for Dong Junwei, even though Qi Ming was small, it had all the necessities, and she had to make quite a lot of decisions every day. With various regulations in place, it saved her quite a bit of trouble.

Upon entering the storage room, Yu Yuan and the others' first reaction was how clean and tidy it was. This cleanliness wasn't the same as the emptiness they were used to. Instead, it gave them a sense of neatness and comfort.

After human shrinkage, objects that were previously within reach now became out of reach, creating a feeling of powerlessness when trying to reach for anything.

But when they looked at the environment in Qi Ming, it was as if every object in the room was within reach of humans now. So, even though it was their first time entering, they felt an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if they had returned to the feeling of walking into their own bedroom.

A hot meal and a warm cup of water were now the standard welcome package for newcomers, with the specific style depending on the available ingredients.

Today, Du Jiajia made stir-fried eggplants with green peppers on a hotplate, and with the sauce, the delicious taste made Chen Mu, who had been away for three days, somewhat nostalgic.

Yu Yuan and the other two were even moved to tears by the meal.

After the meal, the first thing the three newcomers had to do was take a shower.

The existing members of Qi Ming had long reached a point where they couldn't stand the feeling of not showering for a few days. The accumulated dirt and smell on Yu Yuan and the others, which had built up over two months, was suffocating for everyone. Chang Junyan, as their senior guiding them on using the bathroom, covered his nose with one hand while pushing them into the bathroom with the other, completely forgetting that he wasn't in much better shape before.
