The waste is going to strike back

Chapter 24: Thinking about the way out

Mu Xin was meditating and practicing his internal skills in an open space on the first floor when he heard the door of the old house being opened forcefully.

Then Ming Xiche and others walked in.

"Boss, I told you, the place we went to today is not a good one. We couldn't find any good supplies." Wang Jia, who was following behind Ming Xiche, chattered loudly with a slightly resentful expression. He seemed to be blaming Ming Xiche's decision to go to that supermarket.

Yue Le and Zhang Ting came in carrying a few boxes of water, and Jia Renzhong and Xia Houshuo came in last. They closed the door very hard, as if this door had a grudge against Jia Renzhong. These people also had a look of dejection on their faces, like dogs that had lost their homes.

"Enough!" Ming Xiche was already annoyed. Wang Jia kept chattering in his ear, which made his head explode!

"Is it useful to complain no matter how much? It is better to think about where to find supplies next time!" Ming Xiche said coldly.

After all, Ming Xiche had been the captain for such a long time and he still had some prestige, so as soon as he spoke with a low-pressure tone, almost everyone in the team was no longer silent.

As a bystander, Mu Xin watched for a long time and felt that it was boring, so he wiped the sweat off his face with the towel hanging around his neck, then stood up and prepared to go back to the second floor.

Mu Xin had no intention of hiding himself, so Ming Xiche and the others naturally noticed him.

Ming Xiche looked at Mu Xin's slender waist wrapped in a tight black top, and a light flashed in his eyes.

He rolled his eyes, then stepped forward to stop Mu Xin who was about to go upstairs.

"Mu Xin, I want to tell you something. I know you are very strong now, so can we take you with us next time we go out to look for supplies?" Ming Xi Che asked in a soft voice.

Mu Xin didn't answer him, but just glanced at him calmly, then turned around and went upstairs quickly.

Ming Xiche's face flashed with embarrassment. Xiahou Shuo just looked at Mu Xin's back with a dark look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Wang Jia was not happy about this and shouted angrily, "Hey, Mu, our boss asked you in a nice way, but you just turned around and walked away without saying a word! What do you mean? Do you think you are great just because you know some crappy martial arts? No matter how powerful you are, are you as powerful as a gun?"

Mu Xin paused on his way up the stairs, turned around and looked down at the few people with an extremely cold expression, as if he was looking at a group of ants.

"The guns in your hands are powerful, but no matter how powerful they are, the ammunition will run out one day. You use this as a capital to show off. Should I say you are ignorant? Or should I say you are stupid?" Mu Xin sneered and said sarcastically.

"You!" Wang Jia was angry and was about to curse, but was stopped by Jia Renzhong who was standing beside him.

Mu Xin glanced at Jia Renzhong, a dark light flashed in his eyes, then he sneered at Ming Xiche and went upstairs without saying anything.

Xiahou Shuo stood beside Ming Xiche with his arms crossed without saying a word, sneering, "Letting him go is to give him face. If it weren't for Yan Shaohui, I would have shot him dead long ago!"

He just couldn't stand Mu Xin's aloof appearance, which made him feel uncomfortable.

He is just a descendant of an ancient martial arts family that has fallen on hard times. Does he think he is invincible just because he knows a few mediocre kung fu skills? How ridiculous!

"Xiao Shuo!" Ming Xiche felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Xiahou Shuo say that. He frowned and stopped Xiahou Shuo from continuing, then asked the team to pack up and prepare for the next search for supplies.

Mu Xin went upstairs and saw Yan Shaohui sitting on the single sofa, staring at a photo in a daze.

He walked over quietly and stood behind Yan Shaohui, but there was no reaction from him.

Mu Xin reached out and patted Yan Shaohui on the shoulder. "What are you looking at? Why are you so absent-minded?"

Yan Shaohui was staring at the photos taken when he was in the army, but was brought back to reality by a slap from Mu Xin.

"Hmm? Nothing, just looking at old photos." Yan Shaohui did not put the photos away, but handed them to Mu Xin.

Although Mu Xin was a little surprised, he didn't think much about it and just thought that Yan Shaohui didn't treat him as an outsider.

He picked it up and examined it carefully. The photo looked quite old, with frayed edges at the corners. Although it was not yellowed, it was obvious that the owner took it out to look at it often.

"Is this a photo of you when you were in the army?" Mu Xin looked at the photo of several young men standing side by side. They were all wearing army green uniforms, and their upright postures looked like the little poplars on the side of the road.

"Well, now that I think about it, I was the happiest when I was in the army." A nostalgic smile appeared on Yan Shaohui's face.

I was only fifteen years old when I joined the army. I entered the barracks with several disciples from aristocratic families and other children of the Yan family. Life was really hard at that time. The sweat I shed every day could fill a small bucket. Because of the training, my body felt like it was being broken down and put together again by others every day, and it was very sore.

But that was indeed the happiest time. The most sincere smiles on my comrades’ faces and the friendship like a raging fire made me feel warm.

I also met some of my best friends at that time.

When he was eighteen years old, he was taken to the front line by the army. After experiencing the baptism of war, Yan Shaohui understood more clearly what the country really is and what the real meaning of his existence as a soldier is.

He also understood why his grandfather sent him and other descendants of the Yan family to the army for training.

It is not only to make ourselves stronger, but also to let them understand how important unity and partnership are.

Many members of the Yan family are of military origin, and there are even many descendants of the Yan family who are still serving in the country. The Yan family is a family that is absolutely obedient to the country, so the fact that the Yan family has stood firm for many years is not unrelated to the support of the country behind the scenes.

The country needs a family like the Yan family, and the Yan family also needs the country to be its strongest support.

Mu Xin fumbled with the photo and saw a young man who looked very similar to Yan Shaohui laughing brightly, exuding the innocence and cheerfulness of his youth. His eyes and eyebrows were still handsome, but compared to his facial features that had not fully grown back then, they were now more mature and manly.

"Your appearance hasn't changed much over the years."

Yan Shaohui chuckled, "I don't think I'm old now, I'm only 27 years old."

Mu Xin returned the photo to Yan Shaohui and asked, "Do you miss them when you look at the photo?"

"Well, now that the end of the world has come, I don't know how they are doing now, and there is no way to contact them." Yan Shaohui nodded, then put the photo back into his shirt pocket and kept it close to his body.

Mu Xin rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and replied, "Actually, I have been thinking about one thing recently."

"what?"

"I'm thinking, we can't stay in the old house or City A forever. Although we have a lot of supplies, they will run out sooner or later. City A is not a big city, so there won't be a lot of supplies. In addition, City A is now an abandoned city, so we need to find another place to settle down."

Yan Shaohui nodded, "Well, this is indeed a problem."
