Chapter 94 - 94

Chapter 94 The Fog 2Tang Xin remembered a passage in the book that said a thick fog lasted for a whole month, making it impossible for people to go out to find supplies, and many people died.The base has limited resources, so if people want to get enough to eat, they have to go out and find food. There are terrifying spider webs in the thick fog, and anyone who gets caught in them will die.As for the male and female protagonists, they escaped this calamity because they became the base's leaders; the ones who died were all insignificant people.Why is it that when it's her turn, the male lead can't do it?Qi Tianyu noticed that the woman was lost in thought again and hadn't prepared any food for him, so he could only kick her shin with his foot."Hurry up and get me some food. Although we don't have many supplies, it can last us for a while. Make me something simple to eat.""We don't usually eat in the cafeteria, I'm afraid I won't cook well, so why don't you cook this meal today!" Tang Xin is actually a very lazy person. She relies on the male lead to live a life of luxury, wanting to be respected by thousands, like Dongfang Bubai!In the end, I got nothing and have to serve people every day. I've had enough of this life.Qi Tianyu frowned, "If I can cook, what would I need you for!"Seeing that the man wasn't angry, but just looked troubled, Tang Xin quickly pleaded, "You've tried my cooking before, and it's really not good. Isn't it a waste to give these things to me?"Qi Tianyu thought about the meals he had eaten those past few days, some of which were still undercooked, so he went to the kitchen and searched carefully. He found two packets of instant noodles, boiled water, and soaked them in the noodles.Tang Xin felt that men still had their merits; at least they would go eat instant noodles after saying a few words.But when she saw the man bring out a bowl of noodles and sit alone on the sofa eating them, without calling her over...So she went to the kitchen and found that both bags of flour had been opened and the packaging was in the trash can. Only then did she angrily return to the living room.Sure enough, there were two packets of noodles soaking in his bowl." Qi Tianyu, why did you only make noodles for yourself? Where are my noodles?!"Qi Tianyu: "I'm working myself to the bone outside, and you don't even cook for me. Can't I just make myself some instant noodles?!"Tang Xin was angry. The man in front of her was a good-for-nothing, and she now felt like she had read a fake book before.Looking out at the thick fog and imagining the terrifying spiderwebs inside, I dared not go out again. I went to the kitchen alone and cooked a meal for myself. No matter what, I had to eat my fill first.A few days later.Gu Lingxiao received a voice message from Li Haitao, informing her that there were fibrous objects inside the fog. Some people would be poisoned and die after being hit, while others had managed to walk through without any problems.More than 30 people have died at the base so far, and there is widespread panic. If the situation cannot be controlled, even more people may die.We want to form several small teams to drive into the dense fog and see what's inside.Ask him if he'd like to go.Gu Lingxiao did not reply at the time, but after everyone had finished lunch, she gathered everyone together and repeated what Li Haitaohad said."That's how it is. I'd like to hear everyone's opinions."Jin Jun: "What could be inside this thick fog? Is it alive?"Liu Hai: "Wouldn't it be easier to find out if they're alive or not just by going to see?"Xiao Tengyue: "Do we really have to go?"Gu Lingxiao said, " Li Haitao didn't mean to force us to go; he just wanted to ask for our opinions. If we help, the mortality rate will be lower, but we will also have to take risks. The base doesn't have many protective suits right now; we can barely gather enough for three small teams, which is 30 people."Su Xiaoyu: "Are there any benefits?"Gu Lingxiao nodded, "If Xu Nuo figures out what's going on, he can contribute some points to us.""How much will you give me!" Su Xiaoyu figured if she couldn't avoid it, she might as well go for it and grab some benefits along the way.Gu Lingxiao: "He didn't say that, he only said that he could give us anything we wanted."Su Xiaoyu: "That old fox, he always speaks in a vague and ambiguous way."Gu Lingxiao: "That's quite right. That's just the kind of person he is, but he's not a bad person. Now it's up to everyone's opinion. After all, this is quite risky, and we don't know what's inside the thick fog."Su Xiaoyu waited for them to speak, and only spoke after they remained silent."Otherwise, let's wait and see. We're all experiencing life for the first time, why should we be the ones rushing to the front!"The main problem is that it's unreliable to work with others. If they really have to go, it would be better for them to form a small team. Otherwise, they might end up being the ones to take the fall for others, which would be too unfair.Jiang Yan: "You're right, it's our first time being human, why should we take the risk!"The two men's suggestion was agreed upon by everyone, but they didn't know what was inside and didn't want to take the risk.Although it may seem selfish, who isn't selfish in the face of natural disasters?Li Haitao wasn't too surprised after receiving the reply. She looked at the 30 people standing in front of her, all wearing protective suits and masks."Once inside, we must figure out exactly what's inside the thick fog."Thirty people, fully prepared, walked out the gate and entered the thick fog.Everything was fine at the beginning, but just as they were about to reach the gate, something attacked them, tearing their protective suits, followed by several screams.Five of the 30 people collapsed immediately. The others reacted quickly, helped their teammates up, and returned along the same route.Several more people were injured along the way, and they made it back to the entrance with great difficulty.He looked extremely disheveled.When Li Haitao learned that they had returned, he rushed downstairs and saw a group of people lying on the floor of the hall, all of them bruised and bleeding profusely.The squad leader lay on the ground groaning in pain, spitting out blood." Base Commander, there's a monster in the thick fog. It's not very big, but its claws are extremely sharp. Don't send anyone out again; it's too dangerous!"Li Haitao wanted to hear more, but then he saw that the squad leader had already breathed his last, and his heart had stopped beating.Of the 30 people who went, 11 died, three were seriously injured, and five were slightly injured. The rest were terrified and would definitely not go again.Unable to determine what was inside the dense fog, Li Haitao could only send a message in the group chat, telling everyone to stay indoors if they had food, and to face the consequences of going out, as the base could not enter to rescue them.When this message was posted in the group, it immediately caused an uproar."Didn't the base say that as long as we come here, they can guarantee our livelihood?""That's right! If we couldn't guarantee our livelihood, why would we have come here!""The base must take responsibility for us!""I'm running out of rice and flour, and we don't have much oil left. What am I going to do if I can't go out?""Who can take care of us? If this continues, we'll starve to death at home! Are they trying to kill us?!"
