151: Jiang Fei: I have never thought about falling in love

“I'm dirty, I'll walk myself.”

Not wanting to tire Jiang Fei, Lu Yu pulled his arm back, but she grabbed it.

“You are weak right now and need to conserve your strength.”

Jiang Fei forcefully supported Lu Yu.

Her gaze swept over him.

Lu Yu, who had originally intended to say something, instinctively shut his mouth.

His obedient appearance was exactly like Dàhuáng when Lu Yu scolded him.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out.

“Miss!”

Xiao Chuxia ran through the crowd, frantically checking Jiang Fei's body: “Where are you injured?”

“My colleague said they saw you come to pay, and bought a brace. Didn't you tell me over the walkie-talkie that you were fine? How could you lie to me…”

Xiao Chuxia suddenly stopped speaking.

She saw Lu Yu's right arm, which was wearing a brace.

It seemed she had mistaken the person?

Jiang Fei: “I'm not injured, Lu Yu is. He has a minor bone fracture in his arm.”

Xiao Chuxia immediately relaxed: “Bone fractures can only heal with rest. Brother Lu, you must rest well when you go home and don't use your right hand.”

“Oh, and Miss, remember to rinse your nasal passages when you go back. The air pollution outside is severe now, and wearing a mask can't completely guarantee you won't inhale dust.”

Taking out six 10ml vials of saline solution from her pocket, Xiao Chuxia tucked them into Jiang Fei's hand.

They were distributed by the Hospital to medical staff.

She couldn't bear to use them and had planned to give them to Miss when she had time.

“I lack nothing; you keep them for yourself.” Jiang Fei put the saline solution back into Xiao Chuxia's pocket:

“Taking good care of yourself is the best supply you can give me.”

Knowing that Jiang Fei was worried she wasn't doing well at the Hospital, Xiao Chuxia's face broke into a brilliant smile: “Okay!”

“I still have to go back to work, so I won't see you off.”

Xiao Chuxia hurried away.

Jiang Fei helped Lu Yu downstairs.

The number of injured in the Hospital's first-floor lobby had increased.

There weren't enough flat beds, so some injured lay on the ground, waiting for treatment.

Those who couldn't wait breathed their last here.

The heart-wrenching cries of family members intertwined with the painful wails of patients, creating a suffocating atmosphere.

This was the apocalypse.

Heaven was claiming lives in batches.

Jiang Fei drove Lu Yu back home.

She called Su Liuyuan to take care of him, and then went to check on 302.

The windows hadn't been damaged by the sandstorm, the three chicks and one gosling on the balcony were sleeping carefree, and Dàhuáng was trembling under the bed in the bedroom.

“You're not even as brave as the boss and them,” Jiang Fei teased, picking up Dàhuáng.

After feeding him a can of food and telling him to go to 301 to accompany Lu Yu, she changed into a new set of protective gear and went to assist the Rescue Team.

When she returned, it was already ten in the evening.

Her hair and body were covered in dust and sweat, so Jiang Fei went into the Supermarket to take a hot shower.

After putting on dry loungewear, she exited the Supermarket and contacted Su Liuyuan on the walkie-talkie.

“Have you eaten yet?”

Su Liuyuan: “Not yet. I'll make instant noodles for Brother Lu once the water boils.”

“Patients can't eat things without nutrition.”

Remembering that Su Liuyuan couldn't cook, Jiang Fei rubbed her temples: “I've made dinner. You and Lu Yu come eat in 10 minutes. Also, call Jiang Zhengkang and the others.”

“They live in 203 on the second floor.”

Turning off the walkie-talkie, Jiang Fei took out the pre-prepared meals from the Supermarket warehouse.

Three meat, two vegetable dishes, and five boxes of rice.

Jiang Fei cooked a separate bowl of easily digestible tomato and egg noodles for Lu Yu.

Soon, Lu Yu and the others arrived.

Noticing that Jiang Zhengkang and the other two were still dusty, Jiang Fei asked: “Why haven't you washed up or showered?”

She remembered there were three large buckets of water in the 203 bathroom.

Jiang Xiaoshi honestly replied: “Dad Jiang said we couldn't use anything in 203 without Big Sister's permission.”

Jiang Zhengkang: “We'll wait for the water supply time to get some water, and just wipe ourselves down.”

“You can use the water and food in 203. If you feel a psychological burden, consider it an advance payment for your work.”

“Sit down and eat.”

Jiang Fei distributed chopsticks to them.

Looking at the hot food on the table, Jiang Zhengkang and the other two felt a sense of relief after surviving a disaster.

Han Yang's eyes gradually reddened: “Yesterday, when the sandstorm suddenly hit, I thought I was going to die…”

Su Liuyuan had stayed home and hadn't gone out, but having heard about the terrible situation outside from Lu Yu, he comforted them:

“Eat and drink as you please. As long as you're alive, there's nothing to be afraid of.”

“But I didn't expect you, Lu Yu, to save a child.” Su Liuyuan teased him:

“I remember you used to only kill people, not save them.”

“Let alone children, you killed everyone on the list.”

“A position comes with its responsibilities.” Lu Yu looked up and glared at Su Liuyuan, warning him not to speak carelessly.

Su Liuyuan wisely changed the topic: “Captain, there's something I forgot to tell you.”

“A few days ago, Chen Fengping came to Ping An Supermarket and lied, saying you agreed to give him supplies and told him to pick them up at the store. I beat him up and threw him into the Common sleeping area.”

“At that time, you and the Rescue Team were removing insulation panels, busy all day, so I forgot.”

“Well done.” Jiang Fei put a chicken leg on Su Liuyuan's plate, not caring about her scum father's life or death.

Such a scumbag was not worth pitying his death.

After eating their fill, Su Liuyuan helped Jiang Fei wash the dishes before leaving.

The others also returned home.

Jiang Zhengkang lingered until the end, deliberated for a while, and then spoke.

“Fei Fei, what did Xiao Yu do before?”

Jiang Fei didn't hide it: “He was a mercenary.”

Jiang Zhengkang carefully chose his words: “Don't blame your uncle for being nosy, but from what Liu Yuan said at the dinner table, Xiao Yu seems to have killed many people and is quite dangerous.”

“When your mother was alive, she talked to me about hoping you'd find a man to protect you, but we can't find someone with enemies. What if it implicates you?”

He still remembered what Liu Yuan said about 'CP'.

Jiang Fei listened for a long time and finally understood Jiang Zhengkang's meaning: he had misunderstood her relationship with Lu Yu and was worried that he would bring her danger.

“Lu Yu and I are teammates, friends, and partners. It's not the kind of relationship you're thinking of.”

“Besides, I haven't thought about falling in love.”

She only wanted to earn gold now, unlock all areas of the Supermarket, have enough supplies, and take her friends to a safe place to live a carefree life.

Most importantly, with the Supermarket fully unlocked, she might be able to find out why her mother had the Gold Swallowing Supermarket system.

Seeing Jiang Fei's serious expression, Jiang Zhengkang felt relieved and went downstairs home.

Due to this sudden sandstorm, the Safety Shelter suffered countless casualties.

The Hospital and official Rescue Team and Patrol Team were so busy they had no time to rest.

Lu Yu rested for a few days and wanted to return to join the rescue, but his leader ordered him to stay home and recover from his injuries.

Respiratory infection and bone fracture were not minor issues; if not properly healed, they could easily leave sequelae.

As a temporary worker, Jiang Fei followed the team members on rescue missions every day.

The dusty weather continued.

Strong winds carried sand and dust, swirling across the sky, as if the world was enveloped in a yellow mist.

If one went out without proper protection, either their clothes and shoes would be full of sand, or they would suffer from respiratory infections.

The only relief was that the temperature had dropped to 45℃.

The community's water supply time also increased, changing to 16:00 to 17:00 daily.

Jiang Fei was busy for a whole week and finally got some rest, planning to visit the Planting Base.

She wanted to check on Ling Zhaorui and then rent agricultural machinery from Kang Ansheng to harvest wheat, paying the rent for this period.

Wearing her protective gear, Jiang Fei had just left the unit door when Feng Chenlu, who had run over, grabbed her hand.

“Quick! Go save Grandma Xu!”
