Chapter 166 Take it back
Captain Zhao Lei was loading the truck, and Bai Tang and his team also put some boxes into the trunk.
Then they also put some in the back seat of the car, since each of their cars only has one person sitting in the back seat anyway.
As long as the boxes are secured, it won't affect their normal use.
Both places were filled to the brim, and there were still some boxes left.
Bai Tang and his companions could only place the boxes on the roof of the vehicle and secure them with ropes.
Bai Jiyang first went up to the top of the SUV, and then had Lin Feng and the others pass the boxes up.
Soon, all the boxes that Captain Zhao Lei had left for them were put up there.
Then Bai Tang took out a sturdy rope from the passenger seat.
Throw it to Bai Jiyang on the roof of the car and have him secure the box.
Bai Tang said to Bai Jiyang, "You'd better tie it tight, it wouldn't be good if it fell off halfway."
Bai Jiyang said, "Sister, please trust me, there will be absolutely no problem."
After taking care of everything, Bai Tang looked towards Captain Zhao Lei.
They also stuffed it in the trunk and then tied it to the roof.
Most of the vehicles at the base are SUVs; it was a very forward-thinking decision to use SUVs.
Otherwise, ordinary vehicles wouldn't be able to get through some harsh outdoor environments.
Bai Tang and his team prepared top-of-the-line vehicles with the best features inside.
So even after so long, their car's performance is still excellent.
Other vehicles belonging to other people at the base experienced various problems.
If it's a minor problem, the repair shop at the base can fix it.
However, if it's a hard problem, then the car is essentially totaled, because even a repair shop can't fix it.
The base doesn't have that much hardware for replacing vehicles.
Therefore, everyone cherishes their cars.
Captain Zhao Lei and his team had packed most of the boxes.
But there were still a few boxes that couldn't be packed any more. At that moment, Bai Tangcame over and said:
"Put it in our car, there's still room if we squeeze in."
Then she asked Lin Zhou and the others to move the boxes into their car and put them in the passenger seat first.
Bai Tang took advantage of the fact that they were still moving things and no one was paying attention to her.
Bai Tang then stored those boxes in his spatial storage for the time being.
Then he said to Captain Zhao Lei, "Great, we can finally let it go."
Bai Tang dared to pack her things in the car because Mu Mu kept watch for her in the space.
Bai Tang dared to do this because no one was paying attention to them.
They finally breathed a sigh of relief after loading everything onto the car.
There's nothing left in the warehouse downstairs now.
Captain Zhao Lei said, "Let's start a fire and cook a meal now."
After we finished eating, we rested for a while on the side.
Then someone brought over a lighter and some food, and Bai Tang and the others also took some prepared food from the car.
Bai Tang and his group brought food and ate with Captain Zhao Lei and his group.
Gu Yanxu handed over some food for the six of them, with some left over.
They took a cured rabbit and some canned food.
Captain Zhao Lei and his team quickly finished processing the items.
Although it's a mixed stew, it smells delicious.
It was also because they had been busy all day that everything tasted delicious.
They took their own bowls and went to get their food.
Bai Tang and the others quickly found a place to eat, each carrying their own bowl.
When people are out and about, they usually carry stainless steel bowls and chopsticks.
Because there aren't many porcelain bowls left now.
Only the wealthy families in the base use porcelain bowls, to show off their wealth.
But Bai Tang felt it was completely unnecessary. At this point, just use whatever is convenient to use.
She used to eat with her bare hands, and now she doesn't care at all about the quality of the bowls and chopsticks she uses.
While eating, Bai Tang asked Gu Yanxu, "Have you ever eaten with your hands before?"
Before Gu Yanxu could answer, Lin Fan, with his sharp ears, heard him and said:
"Sister-in-law, we've been to Huizhou before. Their specialty is hand-grabbed rice."
We and the eldest brother both ate with our hands; we figured we'd just go with the flow and do as the locals do.
His words successfully made Bai Tang laugh.
Gu Yanxu glanced at Lin Fan before speaking toBai Tang:
"I've eaten it, but that's all in the past."
Only Bai Tang understood what the two of them were talking about. Bai Tang said:
"Yes, it's all in the past. We'll be better off in the future."
Then they lowered their heads and ate their meal. After finishing, they quickly cleaned up their dishes and put them back into their backpacks.
These are also their tools for making a living. When they are out and about, there isn't much water available, so everyone can only do simple cleaning.
Bai Tang put the backpack back in the car; in fact, she had put the bag into her storage space.
Then, in your mind, say, "Ahem, Mu Mu, could you please wash the dishes?"
Mu Mu said, "No problem, I've got your hands on it, it's no trouble at all~"
Captain Zhao Lei had also eaten. He walked towards Bai Tang and the others and said:
"White Team, we plan to rest on the ground."
Bai Tang replied, "Okay, we don't plan to go into the underground warehouse either."
Although it's nighttime, it's still daylight outside.
So they weren't worried about anything sneaking up on them.
They can react immediately to any situation nearby.
The outside temperature wasn't very low, so they could rest by leaning against each other on the ground or in the car.
Then Captain Zhao Lei arranged for several people to keep watch at night, and Bai Tang also arranged for Lin Fan and Bai Jiyang to take turns keeping watch at night.
Gu Yanxu told Bai Tang to go back to the car to rest, while he and Lin Fan sat down next to the car and rested against it.
Captain Zhao Lei and his teammates also rested in this way.
Nothing happened that night, but neither of them slept very well.
Because it was still bright outside, but not getting a good night's rest didn't affect their energy and spirit.
Bai Tang rested in the passenger seat of the car for the night.
She could have gone back to her space to rest, but she was worried about what might happen outside.
The next morning, Bai Tang got out of the car, stretched, and said:
"My arms, legs and back are so sore. I guess I've become a bit spoiled."
Gu Yanxu also woke up early and came over torub Bai Tang's lower back.
"My wife is meant to be pampered, and she has the right to be pampered."
Bai Tang patted him on the shoulder: "Hey, why bring up being pampered now? We're all just roughnecks."
Then everyone gradually woke up.
They didn't light a fire to cook breakfast.
Because everything was packed up last night.
So they simply ate some dry food and canned food.
After having dinner and resting briefly, Captain Zhao Lei said:
"Is everyone packed up? We're getting ready to head back to base."
Then, at Captain Zhao Lei's command, they all got into the car and set off.
On the way back, Bai Tang looked at the scenery outside from the passenger seat.
She suddenly felt that the land in the suburbs seemed a bit arid.
