Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Chapter 215 Dinner together

When Yan Qian came out of Fu Guoliang's place and brought his men over, he saw a dozen people squatting together eating sunflower seeds.

"..."

It seems the need for rescue isn't as urgent as we thought.

As Yan Qian pondered this, he silently approached, but the group, engrossed in their conversation and conversation, failed to notice that he had already walked behind them.

After standing there for a while without anyone paying attention to him, Yan Qian had no choice but to clear his throat and say:

"Are sunflower seeds tasty?"

"This is so sweet..."

Upon hearing the question, Lu Xingye subconsciously answered, but when he realized that the voice was not theirs, he froze.

Zhou Yang and the others also heard this and turned to look behind them.

A handsome man in a crisp military uniform stood behind them, his face bearing a faint smile that still exuded an aura of unapproachability.

Upon seeing that it was Yan Qian, everyone awkwardly put away their melon seeds, clapped their hands, and stood up.

Lu Xingye, who was the first to shout "Great job!", blushed and touched his nose, saying, "Ahem, big brother, you've arrived!"

Yan Qian nodded: "Yes, how has Ono been lately?"

Lu Xingye nodded obediently like a primary school student: "Mmm, it's good!"

Seeing that Lu Xingye seemed a little afraid of Yan Qian, Yan Fei pulled him behind him and solemnly called out, "Big Brother."

"Ah."

Hearing Yan Fei call him, Yan Qian turned his gaze to his younger brother and gave a faint "hmm".

"How's your ability improvement going lately?"

"It's now at level 5 late game."

"Hmm." Yan Qian was quite satisfied to hear that his younger brother was already at the late stage of level 5, but he still encouraged him, "Keep working hard and strive to reach level 6 as soon as possible."

Yan Fei nodded: "Understood."

Listening to the two brothers' awkward conversation, the others felt even more embarrassed and wanted to dig out a three-bedroom apartment.

Fortunately, Zhou Xian stepped forward and greeted Yan Qian in time, which eased the awkwardness.

"Major General Yan, greetings! I am Zhou Xian, the team leader from Baijishan Base, and this is Deputy Captain Song Lian. I have long admired Major General Yan!"

"You flatter me, Captain Zhou, you're too kind." Yan Qian grasped Zhou Xian's outstretched hand, then nodded to Song Lian behind Zhou Xian.

Although Song Lian was not greeted directly, he was thrilled when Yan Qian nodded at him, and looked at Yan Qian with the eyes of a little fanboy.

"You are our idol! The youngest major general in China! We've always wanted to meet you, and today we finally have!"

"You flatter me, you are all excellent too." Yan Qian smiled and said modestly, then added, "We just came to see you. We'll go settle the brothers in first. Please make yourselves at home."

After saying that, he led the people from the capital base behind him towards the villa complex on the other side.

However, he stopped after taking only a few steps and looked at Yan Fei and the others, saying, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Come and have a meal with us later."

Zhou Yang and the others didn't dare to object at all, nodded in unison, and then watched Yan Qian and his men leave.

After everyone had walked past, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Wow, the eldest brother of the Yan family has an aura that is in no way weaker than Chief Yan's. Just saying these few words makes me feel immense pressure.

Compared to Zhou Yang and the others who were trembling with fear, Chi Feng was much more relaxed standing at the back.

He also recognized a few familiar faces in the capital's team, including this team leader. However, compared to his previous life, this person's demeanor was much milder now. He vividly remembered that in his previous life, this person barely uttered a word, and his entire demeanor was cold and menacing.

Since they had agreed to have dinner at Yan Qian's place, it seemed unlikely that they would be able to enjoy their big meal that night.

However, Chi Feng and Yu Hui were not suitable to go with them, and Chi Feng himself was also unwilling, so Zhou Yang went back and left two meals for the two of them before going to the villa complex where they were staying at the capital base with Shen Zechuan and the others.

As for the pea, Zhou Yang originally wanted to put it in his space temporarily, but it refused, so he could only turn it into a puppy and let it follow behind him.

When Zhou Yang and his group arrived, most of the people at the capital base were still packing their bags, but the army had already started cooking, which was probably similar to the situation of Bai Jishan's team.

Looking around the crowd, Zhou Yang saw many familiar faces, including the four members of the superpowered team they had saved before.

The four people also saw them and even waved excitedly at them.

They were initially hesitant about whether to go over and say hello, but Yan Qian's deputy noticed them and came over directly, leading them to see Yan Qian.

Zhou Yang skipped the greeting, gestured to the others, and then followed Shen Zechuan and the others into the villa.

Similar to Baijishan's, the living room was also filled with makeshift beds, leaving only a passageway in the middle.

The group followed the deputy to a small room at the very back of the first floor. After bringing the person there, the deputy immediately went about his business.

Zhou Yang and the others had no choice but to go in on their own.

Upon entering, all I saw was a single cot, a folding table, and a folding chair; that was all.

Yan Qian was sitting in the only folding chair, reviewing the documents piled up along the way. He only dared to look up when he heard the commotion of the group entering.

"You're here? Find a seat first, dinner won't be for a while."

After saying that, he continued wielding his pen, completely ignoring the fact that there was nowhere to sit in his small room.

Zhou Yang and the others looked around and found that there was nowhere else to sit except for the single cot, and there wasn't enough room for all of them. So Zhou Yang had to take out a small folding chair for each of them from his spatial storage.

The group lined up and sat against the wall, waiting quietly for Yan Qian to finish his business.

When Yan Qian finally finished reviewing the documents and looked up again, he saw the group sitting like well-behaved kindergarten children, and he immediately burst out laughing.

"What are you doing? Are you going to get scolded?"

Yan Fei coughed lightly: "I just didn't want to disturb your work. Why do you have so many things to do after coming out like this?"

Yan Qian glanced at the stack of papers on the table and smiled, "Not many, just the requests for supplies from each group that have piled up along the way. Are you all hungry yet? I'll have someone go check if the food outside is ready." He then called a soldier in and asked him a few questions.

Fortunately, the soldiers who were in charge of cooking outside were quick enough that they brought over several meals for several people shortly after they arrived.

Looking at the several large bowls of stew on the folding table, Zhou Yang fell silent for a moment.

One vegetable stew, another vegetable stew, plus some seaweed and pickled mustard greens soaked in water, and a bowl of whole-grain steamed buns...

Hmm, is this vegetarian food?

Zhou Yang wasn't the only one who fell silent; the others did too.
