Apocalypse Shuttle Journey

After a while, the team in front became noisy, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Li Xuan stood on tiptoe, exerting force on the muscles in his legs and face, and raised his head high, trying to look over there.

All you can see at a glance is heads, densely packed with people.

Lu Wei, who was standing aside, was taller than Li Xuan, so Lu Wei did not have to work as hard as Li Xuan.

But even so, when Lu Wei looked over, he could only see the crowd.

As the people at the front of the team walked out, the people at the back of the team felt the push.

I also found out what happened. It turned out that the food exchange device disappeared.

After hearing the news, Li Xuan and Lu Wei's faces looked unhappy.

They originally came here for the food exchange device, but they didn't expect that now they couldn't even see the shadow of the food exchange device.

Someone immediately wailed, "How come the food exchange device... disappeared so quickly this time! My child is still hungry at home, waiting for me to bring food back!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone began to complain.

Some people complained that the food exchange device was suddenly moved to a new location, because in the past, food exchange devices were always found in schools.

Today, the food exchange device appeared outside the school, catching everyone off guard.

Some people complained that there were too many people coming to the school, making it difficult for those who had been staying here to get close to the food exchange device and exchange food.

There are also complaints about the food exchange device, saying that it appears for too short a time and why it doesn't appear here all the time.

Although there were a few people who remained rational and expressed opposing opinions, because there were too many people complaining, their words were naturally ignored.

Li Xuan just watched as people carrying large and small bags walked out of the team with dejected faces.

Looking at the heavy backpack, Li Xuan naturally knew what was in the backpack through his understanding over this period of time.

Things like jade and gold can be exchanged for points, which can be used to exchange for food and medicine.

But now the disappearance of the food exchange device has made those people who have jade and gold very disappointed.

In fact, everyone knows that they are too dependent on the food exchange device.

For example, now that the food exchange device has disappeared, the gold, silver and jewelry in your hands have all become waste and a burden, as these things can neither be eaten nor drunk.

Nowadays, most of our energy in a day is spent on collecting these things outside.

And how many gold shops and jade shops can there be in a county?

Even if these things exist in residential areas, they are too difficult to find. Those ruins cannot be cleared up solely by manpower, so sooner or later the gold, silver and jewelry will all be collected.

When they run out of gold, silver and jewelry, they can exchange them for food and water.

So what else can they do?

These are all problems, and there is also this damn earthquake that has been threatening them. No one knows when this earthquake will disappear or when it will come again.

Li Xuan and Lu Wei had no choice but to go back when the food exchange device disappeared.

Since the food exchange device has disappeared, there is no need to continue or stay.

Just as Li Xuan was walking outside with a dejected look on his face.

But halfway through the journey, he saw Jiang Meng's back. Li Xuan's spirits immediately became somewhat excited, and he hurriedly chased after Jiang Meng.

Said to Jiang Meng: "Are you here to exchange food as well?"

After hearing Li Xuan's voice, Jiang Meng turned around and saw Li Xuan and Lu Wei behind him.

It’s just that Lu Wei is a little further away from him, while Li Xuan is only one step away from him.

Jiang Meng was not used to being so close to others, so she took a step back and said to Li Xuan: "Yeah, you are here to exchange food too?"

After Li Xuan got Jiang Meng's answer, he immediately nodded to Jiang Meng and said with some frustration: "But the food exchange device disappeared, we didn't exchange anything, what about you?"

While Li Xuan and Jiang Meng were talking, Lu Wei walked up to Li Xuan and greeted Jiang Meng politely.

Jiang Meng responded kindly, and then said to Li Xuan: "I didn't have time to exchange it either."

Li Xuan saw that Jiang Meng encountered the same thing as her, so she naturally felt the same way.

So he complained to Jiang Meng, "I heard from others that this food exchange device is the shortest one in history."

Jiang Meng said calmly: "Perhaps everyone discovered the food exchange device too late."

Li Xuan was a little surprised and looked at Jiang Meng and said, "Ah?"

After seeing Li Xuan's expression, Jiang Meng shook her head and said, "Nothing."

Jiang Meng then said to Li Xuan, "You didn't exchange any food today. What are you going to eat today? Do you have any food left?"

Li Xuan didn't have time to speak to Jiang Meng yet.

Lu Wei, who was standing by, immediately said to Jiang Meng, "The food in our house is only enough for Xiao Jiang and Xiao Hui.

By the way, you didn’t redeem any food either, would you like to come to my house for dinner?”

Li Xuan was interrupted by Lu Wei, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he looked at Jiang Meng with a welcoming expression.

Although she was somewhat puzzled by Lu Wei's words that the food at home was only enough for Lu Jiang and Lu Hui.

But according to what Lu Wei said, if the food at home was only given to Lu Jiang and Lu Hui, they would be hungry and would not be able to eat that little food for long.

What is more important to them is the water source!

Thinking of the water source, Li Xuan pursed his dry and chapped lips.

Fortunately, Jiang Meng gave them a bottle of water when they came that day, which allowed them to hold on until now.

Otherwise, they would have died of thirst long ago. However, they did not dare to waste even that little bit of water, but used it carefully.

At first, they drank in small sips, but later on, they only dared to use water to moisten their dry lips and tried to reduce the number of times they spoke.

After all, I don’t know when I’ll get water next time, and the sky has been very clear, with no sign of rain at all.

After Lu Wei said this, he just glanced at Jiang Meng and lowered his head again.

Jiang Meng gave him a meaningful look, then said quietly: "Since you don't have enough food for yourselves, then there's no need to call me over."

As soon as Jiang Meng finished speaking, Lu Wei's figure suddenly froze.

Lu Wei was not surprised that Jiang Meng could understand the hidden meaning in his words. Jiang Meng was a smart man.

Li Xuan watched Jiang Meng walk away, then looked at Lu Wei in disbelief and said, "So, you don't want Jiang Meng to come to your house for dinner at all?"

After Lu Wei sighed, he said to Li Xuan: "Wife, you need to take a look at our family situation."

How could Li Xuan not know the situation at home?

After shaking his head slightly, Li Xuan said in a hoarse voice: "But the place where we live now was arranged by Jiang Meng."

After Lu Wei nodded, he said to Li Xuan: "I am very grateful to her for this.

But if we have plenty of food at home, there is no problem in letting Jiang Meng come to our house for dinner."

After hearing what Lu Wei said, Li Xuan suddenly said angrily: "Then why did you say that?"

Lu Wei lowered his head and said to Li Xuan, "Jiang Meng asked me that, so I had no choice but to say that. I can't just pretend to be rich, right?"

Li Xuan was still a little confused. Why did Lu Wei say that?

But after Lu Wei said this, Li Xuan finally remembered.

It turned out that when Jiang Meng asked about their family's food just now, Lu Wei thought that Jiang Meng wanted to know how much food they had.

This is the only way to enjoy their food. That’s why Lu Wei was so impatient to interrupt and speak out.

After figuring this out, Li Xuan said feebly, "I don't think Jiang Meng has that intention. You know Jiang Meng's status and position here. How could she covet our food?"

After hearing what Li Xuan said, Lu Wei realized that he was a little too worried, but considering the situation of his family, he couldn't help but worry.

So Lu Wei, after taking a deep breath, said to Li Xuan: "Jiang Meng's status is very high, but Jiang Meng is not like the captains of other teams.

Those captains put most of the resources on themselves.

Jiang Meng doesn't do that. She doesn't really care about things, so Jiang Meng is so popular. "

So Lu Wei guessed that Jiang Meng didn't have much food left. Everyone came from Shuidu Village, so everyone knew each other. A quick calculation would reveal the truth.

Li Xuan didn't know that Lu Wei had actually made so many guesses in private.

Suddenly, a feeling of powerlessness lingered in Li Xuan's heart, but things had come to this point, what else could he do?

Thinking of what Jiang Meng said before she left and her expression before she left, Li Xuan looked tired.

Looking at Lu Wei, who felt that he had done nothing wrong and had a calm face, Li Xuan said expressionlessly: "Let's go back early. Our parents and children are still waiting for us at home."

Lu Wei and Li Xuan walked home, one after the other.

Lu Wei looked at Li Xuan's somewhat ugly expression and comforted himself in his heart that given the situation at home, Li Xuan would figure it out one day.

It's not that he doesn't want Jiang Meng to come to his house for dinner, but this is the situation at home now. Once their family has recovered, he will definitely treat Jiang Meng well.

At this moment, Jiang Meng forgot about Li Xuan and Lu Wei.

Jiang Meng, who was alone in the tent, was happily eating a rice ball that didn't taste very good.

It is my favorite cheese flavor. When I take a bite, the cheese in the rice ball is all stringy.

Take another sip of Fatty’s Happy Water, it feels really refreshing!

For Jiang Meng, everyone, including Li Xuan and Lu Wei, are just passers-by in her life, a small episode in her life, and there is really no need to take it to heart.

Just help when you can. You are not a saint and you don't need to give up everything to help others.

What's more, Jiang Meng knows that with her own abilities, she cannot take care of everyone.

After all, before traveling through time, Jiang Meng was just an ordinary person with average IQ, average abilities, and a hard time even maintaining enough food and clothing for himself.

After eating two rice balls, Jiang Meng drank all the fat otaku happy water in the bottle in one breath, and thought about the complaints he heard outside the school today.

The long queue seemed like a food exchange device. For the people in the school, there was indeed not enough food.

Jiang Meng will naturally listen to good advice and consider whether to do it. Jiang Meng is not the kind of person who cannot tolerate unpleasant honest advice.

So Jiang Meng decided to add another food exchange device tomorrow, and keep everything else unchanged, for example, the location and time of appearance will be random.

The people who had nothing in their hands and had not exchanged for food or water returned home with dejected looks on their faces.

I saw my children and family members looking at me with expectant expressions, eyes full of hope and longing.

And after seeing his empty hands, I even rubbed my eyes and looked carefully several times, but I didn't see what I expected.

The expression on his face suddenly became disappointed, his eyes became lonely, and his stomach began to growl.

Obviously, he was very hungry.

I had no idea that such a big surprise would be waiting for me the next day.

The trading market on the other side is as hot as ever.

Unlike the food exchange device where there is only one, there are many merchants here selling food, medicine, and various other things.

Not only that, they also have to thank the fact that the food exchange device appeared today in such a short time that their business is even better.

When Li Xuan and Lu Wei returned home, the emotions they expressed were obviously not good to the naked eye.

You can't see the youthful vigor in them, considering they are both probably in their thirties.

Now, the two of them looked like they were far from forty years old, and old men like Han Qin and Lu Qiu looked even worse.

The old man, who is actually in his sixties, now looks like he is eighty years old.

Lu Qiu and his companions looked at Lu Wei and Li Xuan, and saw that they were no different from before they left. Since they had nothing else, they could guess that this trip might not be smooth.

Therefore, Lu Qiu and others, out of consideration for Lu Wei and Li Xuan's emotions, did not ask any more questions.

Lu Jiang and Lu Hui on the side also felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and too silent, which made them not want to stay any longer.

So Lu Jiang and Lu Hui looked at each other and ran out.

While running, Lu Hui shouted without looking back: "My sister and I are going to go out and play for a while and will be back later."

Because Lu Jiang and Lu Hui's actions were too sudden, Li Xuan and Lu Wei had no time to stop them.

Li Xuan had no choice but to shout to Lu Jiang and Lu Hui in the direction they were leaving: "Be careful!"

Lu Hui and Lu Jiang's voices came from afar: "I understand."
