Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tang Susu didn’t respond to everyone’s doubts to prove that she could lead them, or even make them trust her. She simply explained her ability, authority, and boundaries, which caught everyone off guard.
Although they had fewer expectations and trust in her, it had to be said that they could think more rationally now.
These people treated her as a god-like existence and unconsciously became dependent on her. Tang Susu admitted she didn’t have the power to do so. There would be disasters if she couldn’t meet their expectations, not to mention becoming the one to fix everything would also be very tiring.
At this moment, Liang Jun and Lu Yunxiang couldn’t help but sigh.
They had similar experiences. When a person holds a high position or was praised to a certain extent, even if they didn’t accept it or wanted to keep a low profile, they would eventually grow some arrogance and ambition. It was rare to see someone as clear-headed and self-aware as Tang Susu.
Perhaps she was not a general who charged into battle, but she was definitely a strategist who planned before making a move!
At this moment, Tang Susu curled her lips. “Alright, now you can decide if you want to go or not.”
“Those who are going, come over here and write your abilities and experience, including driving, repairing cars, and familiarity with the route. Anyone who is selected will receive a survival pack for their family.”
This time, it was no longer about whether everyone acknowledged her, but if she acknowledged them. Wei Chunhua found it funny and helpless at the same time.
Indeed, with the Tang family’s ability, bringing too many people would become a burden. However, what survival pack?
The group of people seemed to have caught on to it. “Survival pack? What survival pack?”
“You’re going to give us supplies? That’s great!”
Just as everyone’s anticipation and curiosity reached their peak, Tang Mingzhou brought a bag the size of a piece of hand luggage that they had prepared beforehand and placed it on the table in front of Tang Susu.
With a bang, a heavy sound hit their hearts, and they stared right at it.
The bulging bag made everyone’s heart skip a beat. Before they could open it, they couldn’t help but swallow their saliva.
They were even more surprised when Tang Mingzhou swiftly unzipped the zipper.
There were two large packets of instant noodles, five packets of instant noodles, and ten packets of instant noodles of different flavors. There were also two packets of whole-wheat toast. One piece a day was enough to last twenty days. The wholemeal grains could make them even more filling!
There was also a bottle of pickles, two bars of chocolate, two packets of compressed biscuits, and a handful of sweets (Tang Susu couldn’t finish all of them and gave them away) that could ease low blood sugar caused by hunger or overwork.
There were even three bottles of mineral water, three sweet potatoes, three potatoes, and three radishes!
Someone’s mind snapped, and he hurriedly said, “I’ll sign up! 1 know how to drive a heavy truck. I was a truck driver before the apocalypse!”
However, he hadn’t taken everything out of the bag. There was also a small first aid kit inside.
Besides alcohol, band-aids, gauze, anti-inflammatory medicine, and cold medicine, there were also antibiotics and anti-diarrhea medicine specially put in by the Tang family. It could help them cope for a period.
The entire meeting hall was so quiet that only the sound of gulping could be heard. Even Lu Yunxiang didn’t expect them to actually provide so many useful items.
Was the Tang family trying to earn an excellent reputation?
After all, those who would go would still go in the end even if they were not rewarded, and they didn’t need these people to join them.
Quickly, many people understood this. Those who were complaining about Tang Susu suddenly felt ashamed and nervous.
Despite her heartless words, her actions were like an angel.
In fact, those were just supplies that Tang Susu had especially collected for the survival packs. It wouldn’t affect them directly, so it didn’t pain her much in using them.
Mr. Tang was the happiest to be able to help others. At noon, he had already packed ten sets of survival packs on his own.
Even the metahumans who were not short of supplies were excited, especially the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and radishes. They were not as bitter as those in the fields outside!
A group of people rushed over to register, afraid that they couldn’t get the survival packs if they were a little slower.
“Line up, please line up!” Wei Chunhua tried to maintain order. He had selected these people, so he knew they were indeed capable in all ways. There wouldn’t be any false reports.
Tang Susu only wanted to take the opportunity to help those who didn’t have any resources.
Because the people in Chongzhou Shelter were not like the owners of Cuidi Lake Park, she was not afraid of being schemed against.
As for why they wanted to go to Province A, other than agreeing to Uncle Wei, the most important reason was that they had their own needs.
Tang Susu left the registration matters to her two brothers and walked to an empty corner with Uncle Wei.
“Uncle Wei, what kind of supplies do you want?”
“Food. Mainly staple food and canned food, especially those that are easy to preserve. We also need drinking water. I saw your spicy sauce today. If you can find some, that’ll be great as well, but it’s not a necessity. After all, it’s just seasoning. It’s fine as long as what you find can stop us from dying.”
“Also, there are a few important people in Changshi City. Perhaps you can help me find them.” At this point, Wei Chunhua revealed a solemn expression that he had never shown before.
“We can’t stay in this place for too long. 1 want to expand Chongzhou Shelter and build a larger and safer base to accommodate more people.”
“So, you must help me find that national senior engineers who specialize in building stationary defenses…”
