Chapter 24 Ready
It was nearly six o'clock when Ling Xue woke up, but there was still a commotion outside. She wondered if everyone hadn't gotten a night's rest. It seemed everyone was impatient for the day's first collection. Ling Xue quickly washed up and got ready.
Outside the window, men, women, young and old were hurrying about everywhere. Quite a few were gathered in small groups, presumably forming small teams. Seeing them all as if participating in some interstellar event, Ling Xue had a feeling that the competition for this collection was quite fierce.
Ling Xue found that her current state was also caused by everyone. In this tense atmosphere, she could no longer remain calm.
We must take it seriously, otherwise she and Xiao Luo, two sickly people, will never be able to compete with others.
Ling Xue was holding a bottle of nutritious milk in her hand, drinking it as she walked. As soon as she got off the hovercraft, she met Xiao Luo who was folding up his tent and walking towards the hovercraft.
"Xiaoxue, good morning. Are you ready?" Xiao Luo looked a little serious, and it was unclear whether he was affected by the tense atmosphere among everyone.
"Good morning, everything is ready. How about you?" Ling Xue's little face was also very happy as she greeted Xiao Luo.
"Everything is ready, we can set off at any time!" Xiao Luo's voice sounded a little excited.
Both of them noticed the difference in their relationship, and were affected. They sat in silence, then chuckled at each other.
What's wrong with them? Why are they so easily influenced?
Uncle Yong had already explained clearly the purpose of their trip this time. The first thing was to ensure their personal safety, and then on this basis, to collect as many nutritious ingredients as possible. Nothing else was required!
Thinking of this, the two gradually relaxed.
Passersby couldn't help but sneer at the sight of the two laughing. These two young people really don't know what's important. In such a tense time, they still have the time to laugh and play. I wonder if they can survive this cold winter?
A stout woman hurried past them, accompanied by five or six children, each clutching tools. Seeing their relaxed demeanor, she angrily said, "It's already this late, and you're still chatting away! The army is already fifty miles away!"
Ling Xue was surprised: "So fast?"
If the army advances 50 miles, it means there is basically no danger within this 50 miles. Then they can search for nutritious food everywhere!
The children behind the fat lady also rushed forward with her. It seemed that they planned to go outside to collect good things in advance. However, they said it was a collective action, but at this time, who would listen to the orders from above?
Anyway, there is no danger outside, and I don’t have the energy to engage in these formalities.
"Ding ding--" the optical brain pushed a message from the administrator.
Ling Xue and Xiao Luo opened their light computers at the same time, and a message appeared in front of them:
"It's safe within 50 miles. Everyone, collect food, minerals, and other useful supplies on your own. Please don't fight over them. Be safe!"
It can be seen that this message was also sent out in a hurry by the administrator.
Sure enough, the managers couldn't wait to rush to the front to collect the goodies, and they should have already set off. Some of the smarter ones must have already set off in groups.
The two smiled at each other, and Ling Xue said, "We can't fall too far behind, let's go!"
"Set off!"
A little boy of about six or seven, the last in the group of fat ladies not far ahead, turned around and shouted to Xiao Luo and Ling Xue, "Brothers and sisters, hurry up, or they'll grab all the good stuff!"
Ling Xue blushed. Were she and Xiao Luo being taught a lesson by a little kid?
This is really speechless!
