Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy!-Chapter 206: The strong smell of Green Tea

No wonder she had found one of the voices familiar. It turned out one of them was the guard!

As soon as this thought passed through her mind, she and Nanzhi ran into three more people, each with bruised and battered faces, just like the guard.

These three men froze in fear and fled the moment they saw her, as though a monster were chasing them.

Zhao Lin, who had seen Nanzhi and Lin Weihao boarding the car, walked over and properly thanked them for last night.

Cho Jin and Helen Wu noticed her and followed, catching up.

Zhao Lin pulled out a small package wrapped in a plastic bag from her bag and placed them in Nanzhi's lap. Nanzhi could feel that it contained biscuits, a packet of noodles, and a bottle of water.

She had seen Zhao Lin's teammate's dinner, which consisted only of two packets of biscuits and one packet of noodles. This girl might have skipped her dinner last night to save these for them.

"This is all I have. Once we reach the base, I promise I'll repay you more!" Zhao Lin said with a warm smile.

Zhao Lin had always been straightforward. After handing over the supplies, she turned around and returned to her team without looking back.

Nanzhi's hands froze mid-air. The woman sprinted off before she could even return it. But judging from her observation last night, Zhao Lin would probably not take it back. She can return it with something else later.

Just as Nanzhi was about to close the door, two more figures appeared in her peripheral vision.

It was Cho Jin and Helen Wu.

Cho Jin approached them, with Helen Wu walking beside him, her arm wrapped around his.

Helen Wu was smiling brightly as she walked toward them. It was early morning, and there was still a slight chill in the air, yet she was wearing a dress that barely reached her thighs. As the breeze blew, the hem of her short skirt rustled, folding up to reveal more of her skin.

The men stationed at the entrance of the base couldn't help but whistle.

Cho Jin scratched his ears awkwardly before expressing his gratitude. "I've heard from Sister Zhao that you saved her from bad people last night. I'm here to thank you. If trouble ever comes your way, I, Cho Jin, will not hesitate to help."

Zhao Lin hadn't intended on sharing what had happened last night. She was the kind of person who liked to keep things to herself. After what had happened to her friend Tang Xue, her attitude toward Cho Jin had grown lukewarm. But since Cho Jin was so persistent, she had only vaguely told him what had happened.

As a result, Cho Jin's gratitude was aimed more at Lin Weihao than at Nanzhi. He assumed that it was Lin Weihao who had done all the work. Nanzhi, who had beaten up the molesters, never even crossed his mind.

As Cho Jin spoke, Helen Wu's eyes involuntarily strayed to the clean interior of the car, the comfortable seats, the cool air that brushed her face, and the faint floral and fruity scent that filled the space.

In comparison, their own car was hot, damp, and smelled faintly unpleasant. This car felt like a paradise.

Her expression faltered, and a trace of longing crept onto her face. Nanzhi didn't miss this.

Helen Wu only snapped back to her senses when Lin Weihao spoke.

"It was my wife who helped your team member. You should thank her, not me." He spoke without even the chance to lift a finger.

My wife?

Cho Jin blinked in surprise and looked at Nanzhi. Her hands and wrists, delicate and soft, seemed to belong to someone who had never experienced the hardships of the apocalypse.

The virtual crops not only enhanced physical strength but also improved skin quality. Over the months, Nanzhi's appearance had gradually transformed—from slightly weathered skin to flawless, fair skin.

It was clear that Cho Jin didn't believe what Lin Weihao had said. He thought Lin Weihao was just saying those words to please the woman beside him.

Cho Jin didn't pursue the matter further but still turned to thank Nanzhi.

"We're planning to head to the Longmen Base. We've heard from others that it's safe, and the management is offering special privileges for awakeners. The base is also abundant in supplies. How about you?"

Nanzhi raised an eyebrow. "Likewise. We're looking for someone."

She was searching for Lu Meiying and Lu Chenyu, and the best chance of finding them lay at Longmen Base.

(A/N: Longmen – Dragon Gate)

Unlike Cho Jin's tame expression, Helen Wu's expression faltered the moment she heard Lin Weihao say the woman beside him was his wife.

But Helen Wu's status as the Media Queen wasn't for nothing. She quickly adjusted her expression, realizing she had let her mask slip.

She flashed a sweet smile and said, "Oh, you two are together? That's wonderful! It must be very reassuring to have someone by your side in times like this. I mean, not everyone is strong enough to survive alone, right? I'm thankful to Brother Cho, too! Without him, I'd probably be worse off. Haha, sorry, I didn't mean anything by that! Wishing you both happiness!"

Her words, though seemingly innocent, carried an underlying implication. If replayed in one's mind, it was clear she was subtly insinuating that Nanzhi was merely relying on Lin Weihao and wouldn't survive without him.

Yu Baoyin, sitting in the backseat, frowned. Was it just her imagination, or did Helen Wu just refer to Sister Nan as a weakling?
