While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp

Chapter 55: Should you drag others down with you just because you're suffering?

"Miss Luo, I have already contacted the higher-ups, and they have ordered us to obtain the oil and natural gas here at all costs."

If Miss Luo is willing to help, the base will owe you a favor in the future.

As long as you don't do anything that betrays your country or humanity, the authorities will always endorse you.

Luo Ning took a sip of coffee and glanced at Fu Xing.

I took out a chair that I had collected from the gas station cafeteria.

"sit."

Fu Xing and the others sat down opposite her. Although they knew from spending the past few days together that Miss Luo was not a difficult person to get along with.

But it's rare to see her so serious.

"How can I believe what you say?"

"Commander Fu and I can vouch for you, and we can sign a contract."

Fu Xing sat up straight. The situation here was more serious than he had imagined, especially if it was just the five of them.

He wasn't confident he could safely enter the gas plant and deal with the people inside.

But with Miss Luo around, it should be much easier.

Although he rarely saw Miss Luo make a move along the way, and never witnessed her true strength, he still had an inexplicable trust in her.

Perhaps it's because she always appears calm and composed, as if she has everything under control.

It seems that no difficulty is a problem in her eyes, and she will not show any surprise when she encounters even the most powerful zombie mutated animals.

He had to admit that it was because she was there that his mental pressure was greatly reduced.

Even if she does nothing, she is like a pillar of support; seeing her makes one feel at ease.

Thinking about this, Fu Xing couldn't help but think that she was really suitable to be the team leader.

"Okay, but I have one more request."

Although Luo Ning didn't want to join any base this time, the strength of the official forces should not be underestimated; the official forces are the mainstream in the apocalypse.

Many research talents and important resources are in the hands of the government. She is confident that she can survive in the apocalypse on her own, but she does not want to go too far with the government.

"What?" Fu Xing was a little nervous. Was Miss Luo going to ask for an exorbitant amount?

He'd learned something else about her these past few days: she was a shrew, collecting even a lot of humus from the mountains along the way.

I wonder how unreasonable the requests she might make would be if she took the initiative to ask them.

"I want a copy of the best official resources from now on."

Fu Xingxin was heartbroken. He swallowed hard. "What do you mean?"

"I want a share of all the most advanced supplies, potions, and weapons provided by the government, and I also want a spot for some weapon upgrades."

"You're not doing any work but still want benefits!" Cheng Rang couldn't help but say.

He also knew some inside information: the higher-ups were currently researching some ability-enhancing fluids and that storage bracelet.

They are the first to be supplied to the strongest combat teams that frequently go on missions. She doesn't go on missions and isn't an official, but she still wants to get the best resources.

"Yes! Do you have a problem with that?"

Luo Ning spoke up, "What do you mean by not doing any work? Didn't she do ten years of work in her previous life?"

Although Red Maple Base is a private base, it is also subject to official intervention. The authorities also took away most of the supplies she handed in during her missions.

So what if she doesn't want to do it anymore in this life?

"I won't take it for free; I'll just buy it later, okay?"

"You don't have any points, how can you buy it?" Cheng Rang asked.

Fu Xing stopped him, saying that Miss Luo had so many supplies, and he was sure that many people would be willing to exchange them with her using their points.

Miss Luo doesn't lack those points.

"I'll report this to my superiors."

The bank doesn't have the authority to directly agree to her request. Those resources are very valuable, but if Miss Luo is willing to use points or exchange goods to purchase them, the higher-ups should agree.

Luo Ning nodded, and Fu Xing stood aside to send a message to his grandfather.

Xiao Jie stood quietly to the side, listening to her finish speaking. Then he took out the passion fruit candied apples he had prepared in advance, picked up a piece of apple, and brought it to her mouth.

"It's been marinating for quite a while now, let's see if it tastes good."

Luo Ning opened her mouth and ate it, her eyes squinting happily. If Xiao Jie posed no threat, then keeping him would be her best choice.

She is incredibly good at serving people; whether it's cooking or handling affairs, everything is perfectly to her liking.

Cheng Rang took an apple from the plate in front of her and took a bite. "Tsk tsk, this is what you call living! What kind of life are we living?"

This guy came on a mission with people serving him so comfortably. If it were him, he would never have a single complaint when going on a mission.

Seeing that they had stopped talking, Liang Xiao and Shen Yi chuckled and picked out a fruit they liked from the fruit plate in front of Luo Ning.

"Brother Cheng, don't even dream about living like that with the boss lady. Let's focus on our missions and try to retire as soon as possible."

Liang Xiao took a bite of the peach. "You still dare to think about retiring? My biggest dream is to live a good life and try to come back alive from every mission."

Shen Yi paused for a moment and then nodded. "That's true. I don't want to think about retirement. I just hope to be safe and sound on every mission."

"What does it mean to strive for is that we must ensure that every mission goes smoothly and safely."

Cheng Rang patted Shen Yi on the head. Shen Yi grew up in the same compound as them and was the younger brother that Cheng Rang and Fu Xing had watched grow up.

They will definitely protect him. He's only 19, still very young, and has a family. If he encounters danger, let him, who has no relatives or friends, go first.

Zhou Jibai sat to one side, listening to their conversation.

In the end times, sometimes living is more painful than dying.

Luo Ning thought of her past life, where she, like them, prayed to return alive from every mission.

Although she was all alone, she still wanted to live a good life.

However, she won't have to worry like that anymore. She has resources, strength, and 123, so she will definitely be many times happier than in her previous life.

"Ms. Luo, the higher-ups have agreed, but we'll have to wait a bit before the contract is drafted."

Fu Xing sat down and took a piece of his favorite fruit to eat.

These past few days have been the most comfortable time for him on missions. He doesn't need to make any plans in advance, and he doesn't have to worry about any dangers that may arise along the way.

Following behind Miss Luo, there were all sorts of delicious things to eat, it really felt like a road trip.

He never had such leisurely time before the apocalypse.

Looking at Zhou Jibai sitting to the side, she tossed him an apple.

Hmm? It's not that leisurely. Miss Luo never cares about the team members' mental health; that's something he still needs to worry about.

But it's much better than before.

"Miss Luo, are you really not going to consider joining us? Why don't you join our team and I'll give you the captain's position?"

Fu Xing, unwilling to give up, spoke up.

Luo Ning sneered, "If you're going to suffer, you're going to drag me down with you."

Fu Xing gave an awkward smile, "Actually, it wasn't that bad."

"No? How old are you this year?"

"Twenty-six." Fu Xing was puzzled as to why she suddenly asked his age.

"It looks like there are thirty-six of them."

Fu Xing's heart shattered instantly.

Liang Xiao, Shen Yi, and Cheng Rang immediately chuckled, and even Zhou Jibai's lips curled up slightly.
