Chapter 25 - 25

The supplies obtained in Chapter 25"Are you hungry? I had someone make some chicken soup; a little will make you feel better."After saying that, Su Xiaoyu went back to the living room and carried the thermos back into the house.Seeing Gu Lingxiao trying to sit up, I quickly put down the thermos and helped him sit up. He looked at the furrowed brows, indicating that he had probably strained his wound. I glanced at the wound and there was no blood seeping out."Does it hurt a lot?""It's okay, I can bear it." Gu Lingxiao felt that this pain was nothing compared to death.Having lived for 30 years, this little guy in front of him is the only one he can't forget. In the moment before he was about to die, he suddenly thought, what will happen if he has no food or water?After having this idea, Jin Jun was assigned to protect him, at least to give him the ability to defend himself...Su Xiaoyu had already served the chicken soup, which contained several medicinal herbs. Its golden color looked quite appetizing.Feeling embarrassed to be fed chicken soup, Gu Lingxiao reached out and took the bowl from him."I never expected to get to drink chicken soup.""It's from my family's stock." Su Xiaoyu then served herself a bowl as well, and seeing that the person was awake, she felt relieved.The chicken soup has a sweet taste and a warm feeling after drinking it, unlike any other chicken soup I've ever had.He drank the whole bowl of chicken soup in one go and ate all the chicken meat in it.Seeing that he could drink, Su Xiaoyu served him another bowl. They drank all the chicken soup in the thermos and couldn't find any tissues to wipe their mouths, so she took out a handkerchief from her pocket to wipe her mouth and then turned it over to wipe the man's mouth as well.Gu Lingxiao looked around. "Where are they?"Su Xiaoyu said, "We're out looking for supplies. We have enough rice, flour, and oil at home, but we're lacking other daily necessities. Especially power banks and ice makers, and we need clean water. I don't know if they can find any."Gu Lingxiao noticed the ice block in the corner and asked, "Did you bring this ice block here?""Of course, where else would it come from? It's all thanks to these ice cubes, otherwise your wound would have gotten infected in this hot weather." Su Xiaoyu snatched the bowl from the man's hand and then took the thermos to the kitchen to wash the dishes.His eyes were too sharp; it felt like nothing could be hidden from him, so it was better to change the subject.Gu Lingxiao gently pulled off the gauze to look at her wound, and thankfully the silver bullet had been removed.He was in a daze at the time, but he felt like he was fed something and drank something, and then he felt very comfortable. The excruciating pain never came again.A red light flashed in his eyes, then returned to its normal color.When Su Xiaoyu came back and sat down, she brought a glass of water."Drink more water; it will help your wound heal."Gu Lingxiao slowly drank a glass of water and felt much better. If it weren't for the bandage wrapped around his chest, he would have thought he was perfectly healthy.Su Xiaoyu was a little confused about what had happened to the wound, so she asked,"How did you get such a serious injury?""It must be something I've done recently that's gotten in other people's way and made some of them unhappy."There were too many of them, and they were in the shadows. Gu Lingxiao already had suspects in mind. Those people must have known about his Supernatural Ability, otherwise they wouldn't have shot him with silver bullets.Su Xiaoyu nodded. "So what do we do next? They won't track us down here, will they?"Gu Lingxiao: "Not for now. They should have done some cleanup work when they left."Su Xiaoyu: "I think they are very skilled."Gu Lingxiao said, "They are all mercenaries. You can have them do whatever needs to be done."Su Xiaoyu nodded, "Okay, I'm relieved to hear that."It's very hot outside.They didn't return until midnight, bringing back a considerable amount of supplies. They brought back 10 brand-new solar panels and 4 portable power banks; if the solar panels are functioning properly, these 4 power banks should be able to solve many problems.I brought back 10 large 5-liter bottles of mineral water.The most eye-catching item was a bag of bok choy, along with 10 tomatoes and 4 live chickens.Seeing their disheveled appearance, Su Xiaoyuasked, "How did you manage that?"Jin Jun said, "This little thing is no problem for us. If the supermarket is closed, we can only buy from people."Of course, they used some methods, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to bring back so many things.Su Xiaoyu gave them a thumbs up. They were indeed mercenaries; their methods were impressive. Since there was power, they also gave them several tablets filled with downloaded TV dramas and variety shows—perfect for keeping everyone entertained.Jin Jun thought that none of the men in the group were very good at cooking, while the girl on the 18th floor seemed to be a great cook and easy to talk to. However, she and the boy in front of her seemed to be a couple."Brother, I want to talk to you about something.""What do you want to discuss?" Su Xiaoyuthought the four live chickens were good; they could be used to make soup for four days.Gu Lingxiao's injuries were almost completely healed."I see your girlfriend is a great cook. I mean, could we hire her to cook for us? You can name a price for her, I promise you won't skimp on it." Jin Jun finished speaking in one breath, then suddenly felt a chill and looked at himself.Only then did I notice that my head was sitting in a wheelchair. It must have been helped down by everyone. It took quite a bit of effort to get this wheelchair.Gu Lingxiao looked at Su Xiaoyu and asked, "Does your girlfriend live with you?""Hmm." Su Xiaoyu didn't think too much about it; in her subconscious, female classmates were equivalent to girlfriends."She's a really nice person, and her cooking skills are top-notch. The chicken soup you just had was made by her," Su Xiaoyu said with a smile.It just feels a bit cold around me, even though the temperature is still so high.Gu Lingxiao felt a lump in his throat when he thought about how the chicken soup he drank was made by Su Xiaoyu's girlfriend.Isn't it normal for young people to date?Unlike this group of people, who usually prefer training or carrying out missions.Lin Xiuxiu was welcomed by everyone when she brought the food.Gu Lingxiao saw a pretty young girl with delicate features and a lovely smile. Feeling unhappy, she turned her wheelchair and went back inside.Su Xiaoyu couldn't make the decision for her, so she pulled the person aside and briefly explained their thoughts.Lin Xiuxiu was surprised that they all enjoyed the food she cooked. It felt so comforting that she nodded in agreement without a second thought.Then I thought of a practical problem: even if you have money, you can't buy anything now. Although we have stockpiled a lot of supplies at home, there will always be a day when we run out of them.Since these people were so capable, they said to them, "I can cook for you, I don't need your money, but if we have enough supplies, can we eat with you?"Jin Jun didn't expect the little girl to make such a request. They couldn't ignore the relationship between the boss and Xiao Su!"Sure, of course!"And so the matter of cooking was settled.
