Chapter 74: Long-lost hot noodle soup

~7 min read 1,383 words

The generator was installed next to the air conditioner behind the convenience store.

"It's a Japanese brand. I thought the quality would be good, but it broke down after only a year or so. Maybe it's because it wasn't used for a long time."

Tan Huajun moved the soundproof cover aside, sat on the ground, and began to disassemble the generator casing with ease.

"Technician Tan, I really didn't expect you to have this skill. You learned it before, right?"

Zhang Su was very surprised to see Tan Huajun's skilled technique.

Tan Huajun operated while referring to the maintenance manual. "My major in college was electrical engineering. I learned it half-heartedly and couldn't find a job, so I used connections to get into the gas station to retire. I didn't expect there would be a day when it would be useful..."

"Big sister, your major will have a lot of room for development in the future."

Wang Guangjun nodded and said.

Tan Huajun smiled embarrassedly, didn't say much, and focused on the work at hand.

After busy for more than ten minutes, Tan Huajun put on the casing and tightened the screws. She pulled the starter rope, and the generator made a sound like an old man coughing, and it really ran steadily.

There was still some noise, not as exaggerated as advertised in the manual.

Wang Guangjun nimbly put the soundproof cover on, and the sound immediately dropped a lot. Even if they stood to the side and chatted, there was no interference.

"Technician Tan, your level is quite awesome!"

Zhang Su clapped his hands and praised.

Wang Guangjun also didn't spare any words of praise.

"This is also because I was forced to have no choice. If it were before, I would definitely wait for after-sales service to repair it, hehe."

Tan Huajun organized the tools and looked at the running generator with some relief.

The three returned to the convenience store and Zhang Su saw Zheng Xinyu filling the kettle with water.

"We can eat hot noodle soup!"

Zheng Xinyu said happily when she saw Zhang Su return.

A simple sentence made everyone feel very warm in their hearts.

"This is all Technician Tan's credit. Let's thank Sister Tan!"

Zhang Su took the lead and clapped his hands softly.

"Sister Tan is great."

"Sister Tan is amazing!"

Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan were sincerely grateful. In the apocalypse, abilities that could improve the happiness index were very rare.

"Where, where, Brother Su and Brother Wang also contributed a lot, helping to solve the zombies. I just did a little bit of effort."

Tan Huajun habitually sent a flattery, and didn't dare to take credit at all.

"Haha, Technician Tan, this is a position that eats imperial grain, right? The level of flattery looks very professional."

Zhang Su teased.

Tan Huajun nodded embarrassedly and smiled. "Bad habit, let you laugh."

"Don't say so much, everyone choose what to eat, let's start!"

Zhang Su waved his hand and took the lead to walk toward the instant noodle display rack.

Everyone chose instant noodles. They hadn't eaten anything hot for several days.

The temperature outside had been maintained in the single digits. A bowl of hot water could make people feel happy, let alone steaming hot instant noodles!

Before long, the steaming bowl of noodles was ready. They opened a bottle of sesame oil sold in the specialty area and ate it with ham sausage. It was so fragrant that even if zombies came, they wouldn't want to stop eating.

The food reserves were very rich, and even if they filled the Highlander, they couldn't take it all away. Since they couldn't take it, they ate hard!

Everyone ate until they were full. Zhang Su and Wang Guangjun each had three bowls of instant noodles, and the women didn't lag behind. The chubby Tan Huajun was not inferior to men, and also ate three bowls. Zheng Xinyu and Zhong Xiaoshan each had two bowls.

Ham sausage skins were all over the floor, and even half a bottle of sesame oil was finished. The combat effectiveness of the five people was quite strong.

After eating, several people lay down on the spot comfortably, so comfortable that they didn't want to move their butts.

"Really damn cool."

Zhang Su sighed.

Zheng Xinyu sighed. "I don't remember when was the last time I was moved by eating instant noodles. Comfortable, comfortable to death."

"Brother Zhang, where do you plan to go next?"

Lying on his back, Wang Guangjun stared at the ceiling and asked.

"The clear goal is to go to Yileiwen Convenience Store, and then go to the countryside. Actually, my goal is the same as Qin Ya and the others, and I also plan to go to Qingxian, but the actual situation must be one step at a time!"

Zhang Su answered very honestly.

He had no idea of going to the so-called safe zone. First, he couldn't determine whether it was established by the official, and then there were many constraints in entering that kind of place, and it was very likely that he wouldn't be as comfortable as outside.

Qingxian had few people and many mountains. No matter what, it was a good choice. If it still didn't work, he would continue to go to the northwest where there were fewer people. There was always a place suitable for camping.

"Leave a phone number. In case there is a signal later, in case I am still alive, I will find you!"

Wang Guangjun sat up and said sincerely.

"Good, Old Wang, I hope you find us with your son by then, and let's live together in this terrible world!"

Zhang Su found paper and pen from the counter, wrote down the phone number, and handed it to Wang Guangjun.

"Why... Brother Wang, are you leaving?"

Tan Huajun looked at Wang Guangjun incredibly. Zombie monsters were rampant outside. Hearing this, Wang Guangjun actually wanted to set off alone, which made her feel incredible.

Wang Guangjun carefully folded the note and put it in his pocket, smiling. "Yes, my son is at Environmental University, I want to go save him!"

He didn't know whether his son was alive or dead, but he always thought in a good direction.

"My god, it's still three or four kilometers from here to Environmental University, can you do it?"

Tan Huajun was startled. Her home was in the residential complex next door, and she couldn't go back even if the straight-line distance was less than two hundred meters.

"If it works, it works, if it doesn't, it doesn't, haha."

Wang Guangjun smiled honestly. Of course, he had to go for his own flesh and blood.

"Right, Technician Tan, do you have any usable cars here? Get one for Old Wang."

Zhang Su said to Tan Huajun.

He couldn't share his two cars with Wang Guangjun. There were many cars on the road outside, but most of them crashed, and there were zombies wandering. It was not easy to find one that could be driven.

"No, no... I, actually I can't drive."

Wang Guangjun smiled awkwardly and waved his hand.

"Can't drive? Then driving without a license to deliver milk?"

Zhang Su asked in surprise.

"I use an electric tricycle to deliver milk, that is, the kind of car for express delivery, modified a slightly larger car bucket, no, no license needed."

Wang Guangjun explained.

"That's just right, Brother Wang, I have a small electric scooter!" Tan Huajun touched her body and took out two keys from the pocket of her innermost clothes.

"Haha, electric is good, electric is good, big sister, can this car really be given to me?"

Wang Guangjun was overjoyed. He had been worrying about transportation, thinking that if there was really no way, he would pry a shared bicycle. Now that there was a small electric scooter, it was too great.

Tan Huajun stuffed the keys into Wang Guangjun's hand and smiled. "It's useless for me now. It's great to be able to help you. I hope your son is safe!"

"Eh, eh, big sister, thank you, you are a good person, your daughter and father must be lucky."

Wang Guangjun was excited, and even said idioms.
