"Wow, it's dried fruit." Xu Xing exclaimed.

In the rear, a group of people are watching with eager eyes.

Red Scorpion felt that he should say something at this moment. After thinking about it, he came up with an idea and praised with a smile, "It's so dark, but you can see so clearly, that's great!" He also gave him a thumbs up.

Xu Xing chuckled, "I do have a little talent for eating."

"There's really nothing we can do about talent." Red Scorpion nodded sincerely, then turned his head to glance at Ning Weiqian.

Head, you should look at me with new eyes after three seconds of separation. Even my little scorpion can’t defeat you even if he bleeds profusely!

Ning Weiqian: "... Come back and eat quickly, the pot is almost dry."

Then, the three people, whose friendship was restored by the two bags of dried fruits, sat back in their seats and divided the remaining dumpling soup in the pot with everyone else.

In the apocalypse, food is indeed hard currency, far more valuable than a thousand words.

Chu Wei thought about it, took the bowl with a spoonful of dumpling soup, and started eating with everyone.

After meal.

Shanshan and Pudding wanted to wash the dishes as usual, but after receiving the eye hint from Ning Chengxun, they immediately passed the blame to Red Scorpion.

Red Scorpion was still counting the few fruit snacks left in his bag. He looked at the pot in front of him and raised his head blankly.

"This is the captain's punishment for you for disrupting the team's order." Pudding gave the right to interpret to Ning Weiqian.

"Boss?" Then the Red Scorpion looked at his beloved captain.

This was a gang crime and Ning Weiqian could not escape the blame, so he had to join.

"Yes, you will be responsible for boiling water for everyone tonight." Ning Weiqian gave the order.

Red Scorpion was not a stingy person after all. He picked up the pot and stood up. "Well, since you, the captain, have said so, I will take responsibility for my own actions."

Shanshan and Pudding, who had successfully passed the buck, smiled.

"No! You're not alone!"

As soon as the two sat down, Xu Xing pulled Nie Qing up as well.

The two people's rebuttal made everyone's attention tense again.

While Red Scorpion's mind was full of questions, Chu Wei also looked over. Are these two cowards going to cause trouble?

"You still have us!"

Xu Xing and Nie Qing also took a pot each and walked over to Red Scorpion. "We'll go with you. We can bring back some more water so that everyone can have a bath and sleep comfortably tonight."

"...Don't breathe so heavily next time when you speak." The Red Scorpion, who was almost expelled from the human race, let out a long breath.

Xu Xing: “Hehe.”

The misunderstanding was resolved, and the three of them carried the pot and walked towards the river not far away.

If you need to boil three pots of water in a short while, the branches left over from cooking will obviously not be enough.

Pudding and Shanshan looked at each other, stood up immediately, and volunteered to collect firewood.

Ning Chengxun had no choice but to take over his brother's job after the two female comrades took over his job. "I'll go pick up some rocks and build a stove."

The crowd dispersed in an instant, leaving only Chu Wei and Ning Weiqian by the fire.

Chu Wei's hands were tired from eating and he didn't want to talk, and Ning Weiqian wasn't a talkative person either, so the two of them remained silent without disturbing each other.

The dry branches in the stone stove were burning with crackling sounds and sparks were emitted from time to time.

After adding two more pieces of firewood, Ning Weiqian spoke.

"Is your hand uncomfortable?"

Chu Wei immediately put his hands, which were still on his legs, into his short-sleeved shirt pockets, "No."

"…Then I may have seen it wrong, sorry." Ning Weiqian apologized silently.

Although he started off badly, the opportunity was rare. After thinking it over carefully, Ning Weiqian still tried his best to find topics related to Chu Wei.

After a while, he thought of something. "Are you going south because there's somewhere you want to go?"

Chu Wei: “No.”

Ning Weiqian: “…Oh.”

Three times the limit, he thought he still had one chance, "Then why did you..."

"You and your brother are twins. You look no different." Chu Wei interrupted him.

Ning Weiqian didn't understand why the topic suddenly jumped to him and Ning Chengxun, but he still answered according to what the other party said: "We are identical twins, and we do look similar."

"Correct."

Chu Wei raised his eyes to look at the man opposite him, and said calmly without any emotion: "So I don't like him, and I won't like you either."

The fire burned with warm light, making Ning Weiqian's face red.

"I didn't!" Ning Weiqian stiffened his neck, put his hands on his knees, and tried his best to lower his voice and repeat, "I didn't, I didn't!"

Although the explanation is pale, it is... of no use.

Chu Wei: “…”

Dashaqian, what are you going to do?

No wonder this person has been so taciturn since we first met, it turns out that if he talks too much his cool and elegant personality will collapse, exposing his bad nature.

"Ah, I believe it, I believe it." Chu Wei held his forehead with one hand, feeling a little headache.

Ning Weiqian wanted to explain more to himself, but when he saw Ning Chengxun, who was picking up stones, walking back to the flower bed, he had no choice but to shut up.

"Brother, do you think these stones are enough?"

Ning Chengxun walked into the flower bed and put the pile of stones he was holding on the ground.

After wiping his cheek with the back of his hand, Ning Weiqian squatted on the ground and fiddled with the stones he had picked up. "It's almost done. Let's try to put it together first."

After the two stoves were set up, the people who had collected branches and fetched water came back.

Three pots of water were boiled over high heat, then allowed to cool slightly. Each person present filled a kettle, and the rest was poured evenly into everyone's basins.

But the current water temperature is still too high for washing and bathing.

So a few people sat by the fire, waiting for the water in the basin to cool down slowly.

Thinking that he would have to brush his teeth soon, Red Scorpion took out a large bag of sausages and wafer biscuits that he had confiscated in the afternoon and gave two bags to each person.

Have some snacks before going to bed so that you won’t have hungry dreams at night OvO - Nicholas Scorpion.

Among the few people, Xu Xing ate the happiestly. He swallowed the sausage in one bite and the wafer biscuits in two bites. He licked his lips with satisfaction.

"Here you go." Nie Qing also put the untouched sausage into her boyfriend's hand.

Xu Xing was not hungry at all, he was just greedy, so he quickly returned the sausage and said, "You can eat it."

Chu Wei, who was standing by, watched the two of them pushing each other, then raised his hand and threw his share of biscuits and sausages over.

Xu Xing felt a little embarrassed after receiving the food. "Aren't you going to eat it?"

"I just ate a lot, so I'm not hungry yet. You eat." Chu Wei picked up the water cup on the folding wooden table and took a sip.

Seeing her boyfriend accept the gift, Nie Qing returned the favor and said, "It's tiring for everyone to carry heavy loads on the road, and it's not convenient for you, Xiao Chu, to walk for a long time, so maybe we can use some assistive tools?"

Chu Wei screwed on the kettle lid and looked up.

"What auxiliary tools?" asked Pudding, one of the group.

Nie Qing didn't keep the secret and said directly: "There is a bicycle shop that has many small tricycles with cargo boxes. Although the tires are rotten, there are new inner and outer tubes in the warehouse. You can just replace them and ride them."
