Stocking up for the end of the world: Erha took me and my best friend to become well-off

Yang Qing pulled the two of them to Director Zhou and the others, "Do you mind if we meet a few friends, Director Zhou? But don't worry, I'll treat you to this meal!"

"No, no, we're all friends, let's come together!" Director Zhou said quickly.

"No, I'd better treat you. My friend and I have reunited after a long separation, so it's my turn to treat you." Yang Qing said.

"Then we won't be polite." Director Zhou did not refuse.

Leng Yi went to order more skewers, brought the grilled ones over, and ordered two bottles of drinks.

"Are you from the security team?" Director Zhou looked at the uniforms of Li Shengnan and others.

"Yes." Li Shengnan nodded.

"Let me introduce to you, this is Director Zhou of the research center, and this is my classmate Chen Rou, who also works in the research center." Yang Qing introduced the two of them.

"Hello!" Li Shengnan and Gao Yang greeted the two of them.

"When did you return to Xia Shi?" Yang Qing asked.

"We came not long after the new city was rebuilt," Li Shengnan said.

Yang Qing was surprised. It was much earlier than them. They came when the house was about to be topped out. Li Shengnan and the others were several months earlier.

Seeing that they were going to reminisce about old times, Director Zhou and Chen Rou ate in a hurry and left first.

"Yang Qing..." Li Shengnan and Gao Yang looked at each other with some hesitation in their eyes, but they still spoke, "We parted ways with Wang Min and the others."

"I know." Yang Qing nodded, "We met them a few days ago."

"Meet them? Are they also in Xia Shi?" Li Shengnan was surprised.

"Well, they are in the old city." Yang Qing nodded, "Wang Min is seriously ill. I just went to see her today..."

Li Shengnan opened his mouth in shock, but couldn't say what he wanted to say.

"I know everything about you. It's Jiang Hao's fault, and he regrets it very much." Yang Qing sighed, "After you separated, they had a bad life, that's why Wang Min became so ill."

Both Li Shengnan and Gao Yang fell silent, unable to express any accusations.

"Actually, we can't blame him entirely. When he wanted his fellow villagers to take the bus, if we had firmly opposed it, maybe what happened later would not have happened." Li Shengnan sighed.

"That's because we care about his face. Otherwise, how could we agree? Who knows..." Gao Yang retorted.

"This is because he was too imprudent. In these last days, you shouldn't trust anyone except good brothers who have experienced life and death together." Yang Qing said.

Gao Yang felt better when he heard that Yang Qing was obviously on his side.

Li Shengnan had a soft heart. Although he was angry at the time, he forgave them afterwards.

But he was angry and had been feeling depressed for so long.

But now I heard Yang Qing say that they had been having a hard time, Wang Min was seriously ill, and couldn't get angry anymore.

"Where did you go after you separated from Wang Min and the others?" Yang Qing asked, "In fact, we also went to the official base later, but we didn't find you. We were very surprised at the time and couldn't figure out why you didn't enter the base."

"I didn't expect this to happen."

Li Shengnan took a sip of his drink and said, "We separated at that time and still arrived near the base, but because we lost our points card, we couldn't get in. We looked for supplies nearby."

"Later I met a team of freelancers. They saw that we were both good at it and asked us to join them."

"But we can't enter the base, we can only stay outside, wait until they leave the base, and then go out with them to find supplies."

"But at that time they occupied the base so we couldn't enter it, and they gave us very little when distributing supplies. We were fooled a few times and no longer wanted to cooperate with them."

"We came back later, but you no longer lived in 701 at that time. I don't know where you went. We lived in 701 for a while and then left."

"I went to Mingcheng again, and I also worked as a security patrolman in Mingcheng. Although the salary is not high, there will be some gray income."

Yang Qing nodded. During the extreme cold, they worked as security patrols. When they encountered thieves or robbers, they would search for their supplies. If they caught a fat sheep, they might be able to pay for several months' salary.

"We have lived in Mingcheng for half a year, but we have never met you." Leng Yi said.

But at that time, they were just two points between the hospital and the government compound. They had never been to other places, so it would not be surprising if they didn't encounter them.

"Have you also lived in Mingcheng? Didn't you just say you entered the base?" Li Shengnan was surprised.

"Yeah, but we left less than a month after entering the base. If we had known you weren't there, we wouldn't have gone in, and wasted a few points cards." Yang Qing said.

He told what happened to Lu Lin after entering the base.

"I really didn't expect that she could find her biological parents, but her biological parents turned out to be like that." Li Shengnan sighed with emotion.

"Later she suffered a serious brain injury and her parents refused to save her, so we completely broke with them," Yang Qing said.

Then he told all the things that happened next.

Li Shengnan shook his head when he heard that Lu Lin's father was dead, "Then they deserve it. They deserve it."

"Who says it isn't?" Yang Qing smiled, "But the mother and daughter are not dead yet. They live with us in the villa area now. They are still alive and well."

"Didn't you meet Lu Lin again?" Li Shengnan was surprised.

"Yeah, but Linlin ignored them and didn't want to recognize them anymore." Yang Qing said.

"It's okay if the family doesn't recognize it." Gao Yang nodded.

"Where do you live now?" Yang Qing asked.

"We live in the dormitory building in the administrative center. Although it is better than the houses in the old city, we do not have our own separate rooms. It is inconvenient for seven or eight people to live in one room." Li Shengnan sighed.

"But we are saving points. When the second phase of the building is completed, we may be able to buy our own house." Gao Yang said.

Yang Qing nodded, happy for them. They were still much more capable than Jiang Hao and the others.

"Do you want to move to our place?" Yang Qing said, "Wang Min's place is not suitable. She has liver disease and it is contagious. It is not suitable for you to live together."

"No need, we are fine now." Li Shengnan shook his head, feeling very emotional knowing that Wang Min and the others had been living in a shantytown before.

"When you are free someday, let's go see Wang Min together?" Yang Qing asked.

Li Shengnan hesitated for a moment before nodding. After all, it wasn't a deep hatred. They had been through life and death together back then, so they didn't want to encounter something like that.

Leng Yi gave them his walkie-talkie, "Contact me if I have any questions."

"Thank you, Brother Yi!" Gao Yang took it.

Several people happily finished the barbecue. Yang Qing didn't have new city coins, so she paid for it with a few kilograms of grain.

We made an appointment to see Lu Lin, Wang Min and the others in a few days. It was better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. If there was any issue, we could discuss it and we would still be friends from now on.
