348: love at first sight
Ling Zhaorui said with lingering fear, "Just now, seven houses suddenly appeared outside the Supermarket. If I hadn't moved away in advance, I would have been crushed under them."
"Sister Jiang, did you draw those houses?"
"I synthesized them."
Jiang Fei told Su Liuyuan and the other two about the duck badge family and the items she won from the big turntable.
Curious about what the houses looked like, Jiang Fei and Lu Yu walked out of the Supermarket.
On the open ground on the other side of the small garden, there were seven movable space capsule houses, all uniformly pure white in appearance.
Each house had a large floor-to-ceiling window covering an entire wall.
Jiang Fei walked into the space capsule house closest to her.
The house was about forty square meters, with one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom.
The living room had a curved solid wood sofa and a side table of the same material.
The bedroom had a large double bed.
To the left of the bed was a nightstand, and to the right was a large wardrobe.
The bathroom not only had a single bathtub, a shower, and an integrated mirror cabinet, but also a small window for ventilation and light.
The entire house used solid wood furniture, making the overall feel very cozy.
Jiang Fei went to see the other six space capsule houses.
They all had the same layout and furniture from the Supermarket.
The exquisite space capsule houses formed a stark contrast with the crude wooden houses opposite them.
The only drawback was the lack of a sewer system.
They could only use the old methods for going to the toilet or washing up.
The system said that the safety factor of the space capsule houses could rival super awesome RVs.
This meant they were bulletproof, radiation-proof, earthquake-proof, tsunami-proof, fire-proof, and explosion-proof.
In the future, bringing the space capsule houses out of the Supermarket would mean they wouldn't fear encountering danger.
Thinking this, Jiang Fei took the four wooden plaques from the wooden house door and hung them on the anti-theft doors of the space capsules.
She and Lu Yu still used the plaque for Room 1.
Room 2 was for Xiao Chuxia, Room 3 for Ling Zhaorui, and Room 4 for Su Liuyuan.
Xiao Chuxia asked, "Miss, what should we do with the old wooden houses?"
"Let's figure it out after we wake up."
After a night of work, they were already physically exhausted, sustained only by the fountain water until now.
Jiang Fei led the four people out of the Supermarket.
Everyone returned to their respective rooms to wash up and rest.
After sleeping until the afternoon, Jiang Fei took out five sets of protective gear again and distributed them to Lu Yu and the others.
After gearing up, they went to the yacht's deck.
Xu Qianyao had just returned and was on the deck, verifying the supply list with the Commander.
Anlier was also there, standing next to the Commander, leaning on a crutch.
The Rescue Team members had already returned to the cruise ship.
On the sea not far from the yacht, a large cruise ship flying the Huaxia flag had appeared.
Since the Huaxia cruise ship and yacht couldn't carry so many supplies, Xu Qianyao took a cruise ship from the Joint Base.
Seeing Jiang Fei and the others approach, Anlier's handsome face beneath his transparent mask immediately broke into a brilliant smile:
"Father, Miss Jiang Fei and her team are here."
He spoke to the Commander, but his eyes were on Xiao Chuxia.
He had heard about Miss Jiang Fei's team's events last night.
Miss Xiao Chuxia was cute, knowledgeable in medicine, and capable; she was truly amazing and outstanding.
The admiration and affection in Anlier's eyes were undisguised, turning into starry eyes.
Unaware of his silly son's unusual behavior, the Commander smiled and asked Jiang Fei in Chinese:
"Miss Jiang Fei, how was your rest?"
Jiang Fei: "Very good."
The Commander: "Captain Xu and I have finished checking the list. I will return to the E-country Base to deliver supplies in an hour, and I would like to invite you all to be our guests."
"That's up to Captain Xu."
Xu Qianyao declined the Commander's invitation: "I apologize, Commander, but we came out this time to bring our compatriots home. We need to return to Huaxia Base as soon as possible, otherwise, our families will worry."
"Alright then, we'll see each other again if there's an opportunity."
The Commander was about to leave in a rubber dinghy when.
"Wait, Father."
Anlier called out to the Commander, then walked to Xiao Chuxia with his crutch, his cheeks slightly flushed as he said:
"I never believed in love at first sight until I met you yesterday."
"The way you carefully treated my wound, the way you got angry and cursed—it made my heart beat uncontrollably faster."
"Miss Xiao Chuxia, I like you. Will you come back to E-country with me?"
Xiao Chuxia: "?!"
Jiang Fei, Lu Yu, Xu Qianyao, and the Commander were stunned.
Su Liuyuan and Ling Zhaorui's eyes became gossipy.
Suddenly being confessed to, Xiao Chuxia seemed a bit flustered.
She had only helped treat a wound, so how did she end up with a suitor???
"Uh, Mr. Anlier, I'm sorry, I don't have any feelings for you."
The light in Anlier's eyes gradually dimmed, and he forced a smile: "It's alright, Miss Xiao Chuxia. My liking you is my business; you don't need to apologize."
"I hope Miss Xiao Chuxia returns home safely."
"And please don't forget me."
After speaking, Anlier and the Commander boarded the rubber dinghy.
There was no entanglement or pleading, as straightforward as his confession.
Xiao Chuxia remained in a daze where she stood.
Xu Qianyao sighed, "Actually, Mr. Anlier is quite handsome, young, and holds a respectable position in E-country. It's a pity Chu Xia doesn't have feelings for him."
Su Liuyuan shrugged, "No choice, you can't force feelings. If there's no feeling, there's just no feeling."
"You guys go down and rest. I just ate in my room, so I'll patrol during the day today."
"Okay, I'll take over your shift tonight." Xu Qianyao went to the cockpit to notify the crew to set sail, then he and Jiang Fei's team of four returned to the second floor of the yacht.
He went back to his room to catch up on sleep, while Jiang Fei took Lu Yu, Ling Zhaorui, and Xiao Chuxia into the Supermarket.
Xiao Chuxia put the confession incident out of her mind and went to the infirmary to test the medicine she had made earlier on three small white mice.
Jiang Fei, Lu Yu, and Ling Zhaorui went to the living area to organize the space capsule houses.
Lu Yu was responsible for installing air conditioners, air purifiers, and water purifiers.
Jiang Fei and Ling Zhaorui were responsible for installing sunshade curtains, moving refrigerators, and placing bedding, pillows, daily necessities, generators, diesel, snacks, drinking water, beverages, and other supplies inside.
After finishing their work, the three were about to go to the wooden houses opposite to renovate them when they heard a scream.
"Ah ah ah, baka!!!"
The infirmary had windows.
Jiang Fei and the other two curiously looked inside through the windows.
A Japanese person lay on the ground, convulsing in pain, foaming at the mouth, and frantically scratching his own skin with both hands.
Another Japanese person and an American people were tied up and thrown in the corner, trembling.
Xiao Chuxia stood by, holding a notebook and recording the Japanese person's reactions.
Catching sight of Jiang Fei and the others out of the corner of her eye, Xiao Chuxia felt a little embarrassed:
"Did I disturb you?"
After glancing at the gruesome Japanese person on the ground, the three shook their heads in unison.
"You do your thing, we'll go back to work."
Closing the window, Jiang Fei went to the adjacent wooden house.
Excluding Xiao Chuxia's infirmary and her small kitchen, there were now four empty wooden houses.
Jiang Fei planned to convert one into Su Liuyuan's studio, one into a cultivation room for Ling Zhaorui, and one for Big Yellow and Little Black to live in.
While cat villas and dog kennels were comfortable, their activity space was too small compared to a wooden house.
As for the last wooden house, Jiang Fei made it into a snack house.
Anyone who wanted to eat could come directly and take things, so they wouldn't have to run to the Supermarket and warehouse over there.
After renovating all the wooden houses, Jiang Fei hung the corresponding wooden plaques on the doors.
The infirmary's plaque was also changed to "Research Lab."
Lu Yu brought Big Yellow and Little Black to the pet room he had renovated for them.
As soon as he entered, Little Black rushed towards the scattered toys on the floor.
"Woof woof woof!"
Fat cat, look! Toys!
Big Yellow gave it a sidelong glance and walked with a feline gait towards the automatic feeder.
Silly dog, when you enter, of course, you eat first!
