Chapter 369: Chapter 368 Tang Fox, Good Stamina 2 Chapter 369: Chapter 368 Tang Fox, Good Stamina 2 And in life, the most important issue of food supply, in this season just before the onset of winter, was cascading down like snowflakes, flying into the capital from all over the country.
After receiving the fifth inquiry feedback, Qu Guoâan got the answer: The last batch of supplies could no longer be issued on time.
In other words, the first winter had not officially arrived yet.
And there was already a shortage of food.
Tang Zelin and Qu Guoâan, along with other leaders of the safety zones, had been meeting constantly with the leaders of all departments in City C, discussing how to proceed with the work that followed.
For three consecutive days, Tang Zelin did not return home to sleep, and Su Shu had a bad premonition.
Could it be that there was a problem with the food?
Previously, Su Shu had received her travel permit. It happened to coincide with a time when Tang Zelin was not too busy, so he drove her and a few others to her home near Linjiang to retrieve her âstockpiled food supplies.â
It had indeed surprised Tang Zelin that day.
He had originally thought that when she said there were some things at home, it was just the ordinary stuff that any household stored, which couldnât amount to much even in a householdâs excessive pre-apocalypse preparation.
Besides, when they arrived, the main door of Su Shuâs home had already been forced open. In fact, it was hard to find a house in the entire neighborhood that hadnât been broken into and searched.
Tang Zelin thought it was fortunate he had come along; otherwise, it would have been dangerous for her to come by herself.
Inside the house, there were signs of searching, but it seemed that no food or other items were scattered on the floor. Tang Zelin and the little warriors from the 208th Group were curious about what they had come to move.
However, what followed shocked everyone⊠When Su Shu lifted the movable bed board and revealed neatly stacked cans underneath, everyone was stunned.
The group captainâs wife is so awesome!
How could she have hidden so many cans under the bed?!
Amidst his surprise, Tang Zelin stepped forward to inspect the bed board, examining the spring mechanism up and down, âThe people who came searching probably never thought youâd hide things under the bed, huh?â
Standing calmly to one side, Su Shu lied without batting an eye, âYeah, they were careless.â
Careless my ass. Those were cans she had just taken out from the space a moment ago when touching the bed board.
Tang Zelin had always thought his wife was quite odd, and seeing the six large storage compartments under the bed stuffed with cans, he found her even more peculiar. What normal person stockpiles this much at home for no reason?
Su Shu explained, âRemember the Peng Mountain earthquake?â
âYeah.â
âI bought them after coming back from Peng Mountain.â She wasnât lying; a large part of the supplies in her space were indeed purchased in a frenzy after returning from Peng Mountain.
The little warriors from the 208th Group were ecstatic, whispering excitedly to each other. Su Shu smiled, stepped forward, and opened a few cans to hand to them.
âEat first. We can continue work after youâre done.â
âThank you, sis-in-law!â âSister-in-law, youâre the best!â âMy goodness, Iâm going to die of happiness!â âIt was a good call to come out with the group captain!â âOur ancestorsâ graves must be smoking with luck; how did I get so fortunate?ââŠ
If one wasnât enough, then sheâd just open another. After all, there was no one else here, just the dozen or so of them. Su Shu was generous and unreserved.
Having found so much beneath the bed had somewhat prepared everyone for the special habits of their group captainâs wife, so when Su Shu started pulling out various âsuppliesâ from the most unexpected corners, everyone gradually became accustomed to the odd sight.
