Lu Bai didn’t chat with Wu Ya for too long before he saw Ke Jiangni and Tian Wang walking towards this tent with food trays in hand.
“Lu student! I didn’t expect you to be here too.”
After seeing Lu Bai, Tian Wang also appeared quite excited.
Even without considering Lu Bai’s combat power that was reliably off the charts, just running into soone familiar in an unfamiliar place was enough to bring joy to one’s heart.
Tian Wang handed the food tray in his right hand to Wu Ya, slapped his forehead, and said, “Lu student probably hasn’t eaten yet, right? I should’ve gotten an extra tray.”
Lu Bai waved his hand to indicate it wasn’t necessary. Although they didn’t have a deep friendship, he had spent so ti with Ke Jianghao and the others after all.
He looked over the three with all their arms and legs intact, feeling a bit emotional: “So it’s just you three left.”
Hearing this, Tian Wang let out a long sigh, a bit of dejection appearing on his round face.
“If only I’d been a bit braver back then.”
Lu Bai reached out and patted Tian Wang’s shoulders twice.
During this, he noticed that Ke Jiangni kept her head lowered the whole ti, but he didn’t say anything more.
After all, family and students carry different weight.
Forcing words of comfort would just sound like speaking from an ivory tower.
As if sensing the sowhat sorrowful atmosphere among them, a broadcast voice ca from the loudspeaker overhead.
“Notice: Passage prohibited in ten minutes. This is a reminder to all citizens regarding precautions during prohibited passage ti. This prohibited passage period will last one hour, during which facilities and tents will be inspected and disinfected… Please try not to move around during prohibited passage ti. Repeating…”
One week after the zombie virus outbreak, people’s understanding of the zombie virus was still limited, so they could only choose the most reliable conventional ans for prevention.
As for disinfection and such, no one really knew how much effect it had.
However, the surviving citizens had no objections to it. Mainly, seeing dical staff in protective clothing coming and going every day helped them relax psychologically.
“Then I’ll head out first.”
Lu Bai smiled kindly and added, “If there’s anything, you can co find
in District 7.”
……
The entire temporary shelter, converted from a military base, was currently housing tens of thousands of surviving refugees.
For ease of managent, forty areas were set up as settlents for citizens. Even so, each district had over a thousand citizens, basically reaching the shelter’s capacity limit.
Precisely because of this, the managers of each district couldn’t possibly rember which people belonged to their own district.
Lu Bai understood this.
He slipped past the strict soldiers in the sa way and smoothly returned to District 7 from District 21.
Holding the temporary identity badge issued by the staff, he found the tent assigned to him.
Of course, in this situation, a single room was out of the question.
Lu Bai entered the tent and glanced at the interior situation.
The tent’s interior was about ten square ters, yet there were six sets of bedding laid out on the ground.
Plus an unfolded small square table, he almost couldn’t find a place to stand.
A skinny young man was sitting cautiously at the small square table, eating the food on his food tray.
anwhile, three thuggish n with bare upper bodies were gathered around the skinny young man, as if supervising him eat.
So new type of bullying?
Lu Bai couldn’t figure it out, so he first casually found an unused bedding and sat cross-legged at the edge.
At that mont, the man with an over-the-shoulder dragon tattoo, clearly the boss, discontentedly slapped the table: “Can’t you eat faster?”
The skinny young man shuddered in fright and hurriedly sped up his eating.
Seeing this, the over-the-shoulder dragon twisted his neck, and monts later, he flipped over the food tray in front of the skinny young man: “Answer when soone talks to you.”
The other two chuckled, grinning as they watched the skinny young man’s reaction.
“O-Okay… okay, I… I understand.”
“Sigh~”
The over-the-shoulder dragon pressed his shoulder with his hand, then grabbed a handful of rice that had fallen on the table and quickly sared it on the skinny young man’s face: “Don’t waste it. Can’t you show so basic respect for grain?”
After doing this, the over-the-shoulder dragon stood up and brushed the rice grains off his palm.
As if just noticing Lu Bai, he turned around in surprise: “Yo, a newcor.”
“The acting is a bit overdone.” Lu Bai gave his evaluation with a smile on his face.
The over-the-shoulder dragon didn’t mind, slowly walking over to squat in front of Lu Bai, pointing at the skinny young man without looking back: “That kid has no eyesight. He only got one portion when getting food. Can’t be that selfish.”
Lu Bai still wore his harmless smile, looking straight at the tattooed man in front of him.
His attitude was a bit odd, leaving the over-the-shoulder dragon silent for a mont: “Little brother, you haven’t eaten yet either, right? Go get us a few more portions.”
During this ti, the other two thuggish n had also co over.
Hearing the over-the-shoulder dragon’s words, one of the n familiarly placed his hand on Lu Bai’s shoulder.
“Get moving already.”
“Isn’t it prohibited passage ti now?”
Lu Bai scratched his head. During this, the smile on his face didn’t change at all.
As if wearing a fixed-expression human skin mask, paired with his calm tone, it was anomalously creepy.
The over-the-shoulder dragon suddenly raised his hand. Just from the action, it was hard to tell if he was just intimidating or really planning to strike.
Suddenly, the over-the-shoulder dragon caught sight of a team in protective clothing outside the tent from the corner of his eye and naturally lowered his hand.
“Haha, you can go get food later too.”
Two dical staff in protective clothing entered the tent, ignoring what had happened inside and starting their disinfection work on their own.
Following them, a man dressed as staff entered the tent.
The man glanced at the situation in the tent, frowned, walked over, and helped the skinny young man up.
He turned and scolded the over-the-shoulder dragon: “Gao Pangzi, trying to stir up trouble again?”
“How could that be, Brother Zhou? I’m a law-abiding citizen.”
The over-the-shoulder dragon grinned: “I was just joking with that kid.”
Zhou Zongming kept a stern face: “You better behave! Cui Qing, if you’re bullied again, co find .”
The last sentence was directed at the skinny young man.
Faced with Zhou Zongming’s promise, Cui Qing just trembled and nodded.
Lu Bai propped his cheek with one hand, watching the drama with great interest, without speaking to draw attention.
The tent gradually filled with the unpleasant sll of disinfectant.
The dical staff were already skilled with the disinfection process. In less than a minute, the two headed to the next tent with their equipnt.
Zhou Zongming comforted Cui Qing a bit and soon left as well.
He managed over a thousand people in District 7 under him, with many trivial matters, so he couldn’t spend ti on just one person.
After seeing them off, Gao Pangzi, also known as the over-the-shoulder dragon, sat smiling next to Lu Bai.
“Little brother, let’s continue our chat.”
