317: There is no if in the world

You Chengyu looked at Jiang Fei with anticipation, hoping to know his sister's whereabouts.

Jiang Fei, however, lied: "I saw someone who looked a lot like You Yuxi outside the city before. I'm not sure if it was her."

"I'll go look for her tonight after I close my stall."

"If that person is You Yuxi, I'll send her to the Black Night Gang to find you."

You Yuxi was currently living in the Old Alley District.

That was where the women who sold themselves lived, and You Chengyu couldn't be told.

What if You Chengyu was stimulated?

Besides, You Yuxi wouldn't want You Chengyu to know what she was doing.

"Thank you, Jiang Fei!" You Chengyu tried hard to control his excitement, but his body still trembled uncontrollably.

"This is great... I finally have news of my sister. I haven't disappointed Mom and Dad..."

Jiang Fei's heart sank, and she couldn't help but look at Mo Yanan beside her.

Guessing what Jiang Fei wanted to ask, Mo Yanan whispered: "Uncle You died in the tsunami, and Aunt You couldn't bear the blow. She also hit her head and became mentally unstable."

"The first day You Chengyu came to Mos City, he found Aunt You, which was a blessing in disguise. Both of them are now living in the Black Night Gang."

"Aunt You can't work and is supported by You Chengyu."

As soon as they met, You Chengyu told Mo Yanan everything.

The sworn enemies who used to despise each other had now become friends due to the impermanence of fate.

With some dead and some mad, Jiang Fei felt a bitter taste in her heart.

If the apocalypse hadn't come, it would have been better.

However, there are no 'ifs' in this world.

Mo Yanan and the others still had to work, so they set a time to have dinner with Jiang Fei tomorrow at noon, then left.

After asking the neighboring stall owner for the exact location of the Old Alley District, Jiang Fei closed her stall early and drove to the south of the city.

She casually put the wild vegetables from the back seat into the Supermarket warehouse.

The Old Alley District was the slum of Mos City.

The seawater had destroyed most of the houses, and the few existing brick houses were built later by people from various gangs.

Those female survivors found shelter there.

The streets here were much cleaner than in other places, obviously having been swept.

To prevent people with ill intentions from coming over, women guarded all four sides of the brick houses.

When they saw a car driving towards them, the women nervously raised their rusty sickles.

When they saw that the person getting out of the car was a girl, they relaxed.

One of the one-eyed red-haired women asked in English: "Are you here to join us?"

Jiang Fei: "No, I'm here to find someone. Her name is You Yuxi, and she's Chinese."

"I'm her friend."

"You're too late," the red-haired woman said regretfully.

"You Yuxi started having a fever this morning. We don't have medicine, so we only wiped her body with alcohol. She hasn't woken up yet and might not make it."

Saying that, the red-haired woman led Jiang Fei to see You Yuxi.

To prevent You Yuxi's cold from infecting themselves, they placed her on a wooden board behind a brick house.

Afraid that You Yuxi would be exposed to the sun, an old parasol was stuck next to her.

You Yuxi, lying on the wooden board, had her eyes tightly closed, her cheeks a an abnormal red, and her body unconsciously trembling slightly.

The red-haired woman and her companions dared not get too close, fearing they would catch a cold and fall ill.

There were no pharmacies or Hospitals in Mos City; if one fell ill, they could only endure it.

Whether they lived or died depended entirely on fate.

As Jiang Fei was about to go over, she was suddenly stopped by the red-haired woman.

"Don't get close; catching a cold would be troublesome."

"It's fine." Jiang Fei walked towards You Yuxi and picked her up.

She had carried You Yuxi once before.

Even then, the little girl was very light; now she was so thin that her bones could be felt.

Jiang Fei carried You Yuxi to the back seat of the Jetta.

She closed the car door, took out some supplies from the trunk, and placed them on the ground.

"Payment for the alcohol."

Watching the Jetta drive away, the red-haired woman walked forward and picked up the supplies on the ground.

There was food, drinking water, a handgun, bullets, and a box of anti-inflammatory medicine.

The women felt as if a pie had fallen from the sky.

"Medicine is so precious, why did she give it to us?"

"I haven't seen such clean water in a long time."

"No, we didn't do anything, just used a little alcohol on You Yuxi. We can't take these things."

"Let's go find her and give her back the things."

The red-haired woman smiled: "No need, she hopes we'll keep them."

That girl and You Yuxi were both gentle people.

Returning to Room 301 of the Tube Building, Jiang Fei carried the unconscious You Yuxi into the Supermarket and placed her on the bed in the log cabin.

Noticing You Yuxi's abnormality, Xiao Chuxia immediately went to the Supermarket warehouse to get a first-aid kit and took her temperature.

39°C.

"Miss, how long has You Yuxi had a fever?"

Jiang Fei: "From this morning until now. I'm not sure exactly when it started."

"I gave her a fever reducer on the way back."

Xiao Chuxia: "She needs to bring the fever down, otherwise it will be life-threatening."

With that, Xiao Chuxia ran to the Supermarket warehouse again.

She retrieved the necessary saline solution, ice, etc., then took off You Yuxi's clothes to help her cool down and administer an IV.

Jiang Fei couldn't help, so she closed the door and went out.

She found Lu Yu, Ling Zhaorui, and Su Liuyuan, who were planting rice, and told them about meeting Han Yang and the others.

Su Liuyuan: "Captain, we might not be able to make it to dinner tomorrow."

"We need to settle the score for Lu Yu's injury with those scavenging teams, otherwise they'll keep bothering us when we go out scavenging in the future."

"If we can come back early, we'll go to the Black Night Gang for dinner."

"Okay." Jiang Fei instructed: "Be careful tomorrow. Feel free to use the weapons in the Supermarket warehouse. If you can shoot, don't use your hands."

The three nodded in agreement.

Ling Zhaorui: "Sister Jiang, we built a kitchen next to your and Chu Xia's log cabin. Did you see it?"

Jiang Fei shook her head.

She had been too preoccupied with You Yuxi just now.

Curious about the kitchen the four had built, Jiang Fei returned to the living area.

Only then did she discover a small log cabin had appeared in the open space.

Pushing the door open, to the left was a countertop made of red bricks, with a marble slab on top.

Induction cookers, rice cookers, frying pans, air fryers, plates, and other kitchenware and tableware were neatly arranged on the countertop.

To the right were an oven, a dishwasher, and a sink.

The wires were all connected to the generator.

The faucet above the sink was connected to a huge water storage barrel outside.

Below the sink was an empty bucket for dirty water.

Once full, it could be carried out to water flowers or the ground, which was very convenient.

Jiang Fei happily touched the countertop.

Finally, the Supermarket had a decent kitchen!

Besides the kitchen, the four had also planted new crops in the orchard, plantation, and wheat field.

Poultry, livestock, and aquatic products had all been fed.

The teammates really did a lot.

To reward everyone, Jiang Fei went to the Supermarket to get ingredients for dinner.

There was pineapple sweet and sour pork, which Xiao Hua Lao loved, stir-fried shredded potatoes, which Lu Yu liked, steamed pork ribs with rice flour for Su Liuyuan, and Coca-Cola chicken wings for Ling Zhaorui.

Jiang Fei also added two seafood dishes, typhoon shelter crab and oyster omelet.

The main course was white rice.

After cooking, Jiang Fei called Lu Yu and the other two to carry the dishes to the outdoor pavilion, while she went to call Xiao Chuxia for dinner.

After washing her hands, Xiao Chuxia came over.

"You Yuxi's fever has gone down. She should wake up in three or four hours."

"Miss, are you going to tell her about the Supermarket?"

Jiang Fei: "I'll take her out when she's about to wake up."

The reason for bringing You Yuxi into the Supermarket was that it was cooler here than outside, and it was easier to take care of her.

As Xiao Chuxia said, three hours later, You Yuxi showed signs of waking up.

Jiang Fei took You Yuxi, Lu Yu, and the others out of the Supermarket.

You Yuxi might get a fever again, so someone needed to take care of her.

The scavenging trio still had to go out tomorrow.

Everyone simply chose to sleep outside to save Jiang Fei the trouble of going back and forth.

Room 301 was small, so Jiang Fei put all the furniture into the Supermarket warehouse to barely fit a small single bed.

There was no room to move around in the house.

You Yuxi woke up once in the middle of the night, drank a cup of fountain water, and fell asleep again.

Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia lay on the bed, but they couldn't sleep.

With a high temperature of 48℃, the room only had open windows, which couldn't ventilate, making it as stuffy as being thrown into a boiling pot.

She had expected to be sleepless due to the heat tonight, but unexpectedly, the temperature gradually dropped.
