Su Ling hummed and looked at Gu Shangse, "We need to arrange for night duty."
Gu Shangse's eyes curved with a smile, "Mm, that's right. But before night duty, we need to sort out our dinner."
"Then let's get out of the car," Su Ling said, unbuckling her seatbelt and opening the car door to get out.
When Su Ling got out, Sister Na and the others were already out, opening the car doors. Everyone cooperated in carrying lanterns and wires, moving tables and chairs.
What Su Ling and Gu Shangse thought of, Sister Na and the others had also thought of.
Preparing dinner outdoors, in such a quiet, deserted place, was the first time since the apocalypse.
But it definitely wouldn't be the last; there would be many more such occasions.
Soon, with everyone's cooperation, the area around the RV was brightly lit.
Su Ling and the others sat at the table, enjoying a rare moment of leisure with coffee.
With Bai Yuling and Lin Enxin present, ice was available whenever needed.
Rice was already cooking on the stove, ribs and carrots were simmering in a pot, and chicken and mushrooms were slowly releasing their aroma.
Preserved eggs, onions, eggs, and fresh vegetables were arranged on the dining table, waiting for Su Ling and the others to cook them. And overhead, Su Ling could see the mobile fortress that others couldn't, just by looking up.
It was hers alone, her private possession.
Jiang Jiang, drinking coffee with ice, pulled his chair closer to Su Ling and Gu Shangse, then whispered, "Sister, Brother Gu, have you noticed that ever since we appeared, there have been many eyes watching us from the shadows?"
As a half-human, half-zombie, Jiang Jiang's senses were extremely keen.
Furthermore, he also possessed the ability to control mental powers, so what Su Ling and Gu Shangse sensed, he naturally sensed as well.
Su Ling hummed, her voice calm, "Drink your coffee, and let's observe the situation."
"Got it." Once he confirmed that Su Ling and the others had also sensed it, Jiang Jiang was no longer worried. He looked at Bai Yuling and pushed his coffee cup towards him, "Can you add more ice for me?"
Bai Yuling looked at Jiang Jiang and nodded.
After Su Ling's guidance and strengthened practice, Bai Yuling was becoming increasingly proficient in using his abilities.
"Thank you," Jiang Jiang said, looking at the ice-filled cup. He happily held his coffee and drank it with great satisfaction.
After the leisurely coffee time, Skinny and Fatty got up to stir-fry.
Su Ling and the others, meanwhile, began to trim vegetables, peel garlic, chop scallions, and peel onions. Everyone had clear divisions of labor and their own tasks.
And those hidden eyes were watching Su Ling and the others' every move.
Seeing their harmonious atmosphere, their laughter and chatter, their abundant provisions that made them envious, their restless hearts yearned to rush out and attack Su Ling and the others right away.
But after experiencing multiple robberies, they had long accumulated experience.
At least now was not the best time to strike; they had to wait until the dead of night, when everyone was asleep, defenses were weakest, and it was the best time for them to make their move.
At that time, the men would be killed, and the women would be taken back to the base as playthings.
As for the luxurious RV and the supplies inside, they would all belong to them.
Looking at Su Ling and the others' dinner of meat, vegetables, and soup, made them who could only eat bread, instant noodles, and factory-processed bagged chicken legs, truly envy Su Ling and the others' ability to eat hot meals.
Their lives after the apocalypse were not without their flavors, but that torrential rain that lasted for several days destroyed the vegetables in the fields, as well as the inventory in the supermarkets.
The entire Lu Cheng city had been plundered of everything they could find.
What remained that they could not plunder were the commercial streets and night markets guarded by zombie hordes, which had not been destroyed by the heavy rain.
