365: Defeat him first.

Zhou Wanqing said blankly, "Lu Yu just said to shower together to save water, so you and Fei Fei..."

"No! Team Leader Jiang and I have never showered together! And it's not possible in the future!"

Seeing that Zhou Wanqing had misunderstood, Su Liuyuan told her about Jiang Fei and Lu Yu dating.

Zhou Wanqing felt her heart shatter.

Her perfect and outstanding Benefactor had actually become a stinky man's... The reality was too cruel, Zhou Wanqing's eyes were hollow, unwilling to believe it.

So much so that when Jiang Fei and Lu Yu came out of the bathroom after showering, Zhou Wanqing was still sitting on the sofa, spacing out.

Jiang Fei: "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Zhou Wanqing suddenly snapped back to attention: "Sleep!"

She got up and followed Jiang Fei into the bedroom.

After lying on the bed, Zhou Wanqing became happy again.

She was sleeping on the same bed as her Benefactor!

No one noticed that Lu Yu had quietly gone out for a while.

He didn't return until midnight, going up to the RV's attic.

Woken by the noise, Su Liuyuan groggily opened his eyes: "Where did you go without sleeping?"

"I helped Yan Tianjie loosen his muscles and bones."

Didn't he want to challenge Fei Fei to a one-on-one fight?

Then he should win against him first.

Guessing that Lu Yu had gone to beat someone up, Su Liuyuan showed an auntie-like smile, and a little bit of longing.

It would be great if Zhao Rui were here.

He could gossip with his brother!

---

At six o'clock the next morning, Jiang Fei was woken by the alarm clock beside the bed.

The spot beside her was already empty.

She got up and went out.

Zhou Wanqing was sitting at the kitchen counter, slicing apples.

On a nearby table sat a pot of steaming white porridge and three plates of golden corn pancakes.

Lu Yu and Su Liuyuan had woken up earlier than Jiang Fei.

After washing up, they sat on the sofa, waiting for her to eat.

"Fei Fei, I made breakfast and prepared fruit for after the meal."

"What do you want for lunch? I'll prepare the ingredients in advance."

"No need, you have an injury on your foot, you should rest more. I can do the cooking."

Afraid Zhou Wanqing would overthink, Jiang Fei added:

"Just rest in the car and recover, don't feel any burden."

"I have nothing to do anyway, cooking can pass the time."

"Besides, if I prop my leg on a chair, my foot won't bear any weight."

As she spoke, Zhou Wanqing placed the sliced apples on the table and, feigning casualness, asked Lu Yu:

"Brother Lu, you get up so early, have you ever made breakfast for Fei Fei?"

"Oh, I forgot, Brother Lu only eats, he doesn't cook, unlike me, who can handle the kitchen."

Lu Yu ignored her, tilted his head, and kissed Jiang Fei's cheek.

"Good morning kiss."

Jiang Fei: "?"

Zhou Wanqing: "..."

Su Liuyuan had a look of someone watching a show.

Zhou Wanqing, having been showered with affection, obediently shut her mouth.

She shouldn't have spoken just now!

Zhou Wanqing made a lot of corn pancakes; the four of them couldn't finish them, so Jiang Fei packed two bags and sent them to Xu Qianyao and Zhu Xiaowu.

Spotting Yan Tianjie standing not far away, bruised and swollen with dark circles under his eyes, Jiang Fei was momentarily stunned.

"Who hit him?"

Xu Qianyao, biting into a corn pancake, mumbled, "I don't know."

"I asked Tian Jie, and he said he accidentally tripped over a chair while on night watch last night."

"The injuries on his face are clearly from being beaten. He's trying to save face by not telling the truth, and I don't want to pry."

"It wasn't you who hit him, was it?"

Jiang Fei shook her head: "I didn't come out last night."

Just then, Lu Yu got out of the RV to refuel.

Yan Tianjie suddenly remembered what happened last night.

He was held down and brutally beaten by Lu Yu.

After the beating, the other party even used sign language to humiliate him,

"You can't even beat me; you're not qualified to challenge my Team Leader."

It was simply too arrogant!

However, the other person's strength was undeniable. Yan Tianjie didn't want to recall last night's ordeal, so he lowered his head and quickly got into his own car.

Zhu Xiaowu chased after him: "Tian Jie, aren't you going to eat breakfast?"

"Team Leader Jiang's corn pancakes are delicious."

Yan Tianjie: "I'm not eating!"

Even if he starved to death one day, he wouldn't eat Jiang Fei's food!

Zhu Xiaowu, standing there, ate one corn pancake after another.

Hehe, they're all mine now!

---

After breakfast, Jiang Fei and the others set off for the next city.

The drought in Min Province was even more severe than in Qingcheng.

The land had already turned to sand, forming multiple wind-eroded pits.

Due to the loose soil texture, the RV's tires would occasionally get stuck, causing bumps.

Jiang Fei's super awesome RV was unaffected, remaining steady, but Xu Qianyao and the others' two RVs bounced around like bumper cars.

For safety, Jiang Fei used the walkie-talkie to remind everyone to slow down.

Su Liuyuan, sitting on the back sofa, looked at the dry land outside the window, feeling a bit distressed:

"Six or seven years ago, I came here for tourism. There were beautiful lakes, and mountains covered with flowers and green plants. Now it has become a desert. I don't know when it will recover."

Jiang Fei: "If someone manages it, it would take at least a year."

"Provided the apocalypse ends and no new disasters strike."

Su Liuyuan sighed: "Now there are natural disasters everywhere. I think this apocalypse has no end."

"Not necessarily." Zhou Wanqing comforted him: "Perhaps one day we'll wake up, and the apocalypse will be over."

"Let's hope so."

While chatting, the team drove into Rongquan City.

Following the map, they found the logistics warehouse in the ruins.

Jiang Fei got out of the car alone and went to open the main gate.

A strong, pungent odor wafted out.

It seemed something had rotted and spoiled.

Taking out a mask and putting it on, Jiang Fei followed the source of the smell deeper inside.

Five large breeding cages had been set up in the warehouse.

The animals in the cages, such as lions, tigers, and peacocks, were all dead.

The ground was piled with hardened excrement.

One could see many empty feeding troughs and water troughs along the edges of the cages.

Even with enough feed and water, it was impossible to sustain the animals' lives.

Too much time had passed.

Not counting the time the warehouse was built, nearly a year had passed since the tsunami alone.

With no one to replenish food and water, these animals could only wait to starve to death.

Just as Jiang Fei was about to collect supplies.

"Woof--"

A faint whimper caught her attention.

It only made one sound, then fell silent.

Unsure which cage it came from, Jiang Fei took out a slender wooden stick.

She poked through the gaps in the cage bars, prodding the corpses inside.

In the third cage, she finally found a dirty grey wolf.

It was skin and bones, curled up inside a skeleton.

Its cage had the fewest corpses, mostly just bones.

It likely survived by eating the corpses of other animals.

The grey wolf's eyes were full of greed as it looked at Jiang Fei.

It shakily stood up, wanting to attack her.

Thud!

Jiang Fei struck the grey wolf on the head with the stick.

The already weak grey wolf fell back to the ground, letting out an angry growl, and its head was hit again.

"Woof!"

The next second, a piece of fresh beef was thrown in.

"If you want to eat, shut up."

The grey wolf immediately stopped howling and eagerly gnawed on the fresh beef.

After feeding it three pieces, the grey wolf was full, rolled over, exposed its belly, and lay down.

Confirming it had no intention of attacking, Jiang Fei took out a basin of fountain water and placed it on the ground, then opened the cage door.

"Come out if you want to drink water."

The cage was too dirty; she didn't want to go in.

As if understanding Jiang Fei's words, the grey wolf got up again and walked out, quickly lapping at the water in the basin.

Jiang Fei took the opportunity to check its body.

There were no apparent wounds, but the fur on its tail was stained with watery excrement, emitting a strong foul odor.

There was also a clear mix of fresh blood.

Its body temperature was also a bit high.

Suspecting symptoms of Campylobacter infection, Jiang Fei distanced herself from the grey wolf.

Campylobacter is an enteric pathogen.

These bacteria can cause zoonotic diseases.

It can lead to acute gastroenteritis, sepsis, and other conditions.

Unable to bring the grey wolf into the Supermarket, Jiang Fei took out a set of disposable protective gear and put it on.

She also took out a new special medicine to treat Campylobacter.

Grabbing the grey wolf by the scruff of its neck with one hand, she fed it the medicine.

"Don't move around, I'm going to clean the filth off your body."

"If you bite me, I'll smash your wolf head."
