Chapter 206 All Beings

Chapter 206 All Beings

Meanwhile, at Gavin Estate...

Watching the twelve-person field team walk up the stairs to the roof and then disappear from sight.

Old Feng composed himself and quietly took his lover Xiao Cao's hand.

Noticing her husband holding her hand, Xiao Cao, who was clearing the table, sat up in surprise.

She first glanced at the child crawling around the dining table, occasionally standing up and jogging a few steps.

After instinctively confirming that the child was safe, Xiao Cao whispered to Lao Feng.

"Old Feng, you look a bit nervous. What happened?"

"It's nothing, I'm just worried about the boss and the others."

Old Feng shook his head in response.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cao narrowed his eyes suspiciously, then asked with a smile.

"You've started calling him 'boss' too. Gavin is really charismatic, haha~"

"Yeah, I used to call him 'boss,' even though it's the same word in English. But now, that guy is really pretty good."

Old Feng nodded in response, and then continued speaking on his own without Xiao Cao having to ask.

"I'm a little worried about them, honey. If there's really no danger, then Boss Gavin doesn't need to bring so many people."

"A large team of twelve people, larger than the team Eugene and Martin led to the Indian prison to establish a reserve base."

"I've heard the boss talk about Shepard Military Base. Although there are many people there, the location that the boss and Sean chose for their operation is excellent, so theoretically there shouldn't be any problems."

"So, I guess the boss isn't worried about the zombies at Shepard Military Base, but rather—the living people at Ranch 6666!"

At this point, Lao Feng licked his lips.

Live!

When he mentioned the word, for some reason, the sense of threat it evoked was even stronger than that from the word "zombie."

"Yes, they are alive, and it's a team of nearly twenty people."

Hearing Lao Feng's words, Xiao Cao took a deep breath and then pondered before speaking.

"Old Feng, although the boss claims to be familiar with the person in charge of Ranch 6666, that's only before the apocalypse. Who knows what will happen to those people after the apocalypse lasts for more than half a month!"

"Just like Edward's group of guys, Jennifer, who came in yesterday, didn't say anything, but Jim, who had an injured calf, told us everything in the operating room."

"Edward's only been gone a few days, and their otherwise decent team almost had a rapist emerge from among them. Tsk tsk, the living are definitely more dangerous than the dead!"

Just as Xiao Cao was speaking, Winnie happened to pass by the dining table. At the same time, two-year-old Feng, who was running around, stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Winnie instinctively raised her hand and grabbed both of Xiao Feng Yicheng's arms, thus stabilizing him.

Seeing this, Xiao Cao quickly took two steps to Xiao Feng and Winnie's side and caught her child.

Seeing Xiao Cao rush to her side, Winnie, who had been startled by Xiao Feng's stumble, quickly said to Xiao Cao.

"Auntie, your child almost fell!"

"Well----"

Xiao Cao didn't understand, but vaguely felt that a few words were familiar, so he turned to look at Lao Feng.

Old Feng then walked over to the group with a smile and spoke to Winnie.

"It's alright, Winnie. My little devil is tough. I was a country kid too. I used to go fishing in the river and climbing trees to catch birds. I even fell from several meters high and never got hurt."

"Children running, jumping, and bumping into things are the first things they learn when they come into contact with the world."

"Anyway, thank you for your help. Is there any toy you want? I'm going to repair the fence at the farm later, and if I pass through the farm town, I can bring it back for you~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Feng patted Winnie's head gratefully.

Winnie, after a slight pause, immediately said happily to Old Feng.

"Really, sir? You're going to the farm town today too? Could you bring me back a litter box beforehand?"

"There were so many people applying for litter boxes last night, everyone was queuing up on the task board. Without a litter box, I can't keep my cat in the bedroom!"

"So, could you please bring it back for me? I'm really, really anxious, I really want to cuddle with my cat and sleep~"

"Haha, no problem!"

Old Feng readily agreed to Winnie's request; it was just a litter box, nothing special.

Thinking about it, it's true. Without a litter box, it would be impossible to keep a cat in the bedroom.

The cats and dogs in the manor all know to go to the botanical garden to relieve themselves.

Although Thomas has made some changes to the botanical garden, it still retains an area comparable to a small park and a large amount of soil. Thomas has also preserved some relatively rare plants, and the cats and dogs in the camp can also use it to relieve themselves.

However, there is no litter box in each member's bedroom.

As for Winnie wanting to cut in line, that's a piece of cake; Old Feng doesn't mind at all.

Seeing that Lao Feng had agreed to her request, Winnie happily ran out and went back to her room to playfully cuddle the cat.

Watching Winnie's retreating figure, Old Feng grinned and then spoke to his lover.

"Tsk tsk, wife, living people are indeed in danger, but those are uncontrollable living people."

"Look, living people who are bound and controlled by rules are not only not dangerous, but their kindness is also a pleasant surprise!"

"Yes, Winnie is too good, and too beautiful. I wish our son could meet a white girl like her when he grows up. Don't people say mixed-race people are smart?"

While responding to Lao Feng's words, Xiao Cao casually patted the child's bottom.

Since joining the camp and ensuring their children's safety from zombies, Xiao Cao and Lao Feng have gradually returned to being typical young Chinese parents and started playing with their kids again.

However, remembering Winnie's request, Xiao Cao finally raised his head and couldn't help but speak.

"Old Feng, speaking of which, since most people in the camp have adopted pets, why don't we adopt one for our son too?"

"Really? Are you sure you want to raise it?"

Upon hearing this, Old Feng looked at Xiao Cao in surprise and asked.

"You used to really dislike cats and dogs, didn't you? You didn't like their shedding, did you?"

"Hehe, the past is the past, and the present is the present. Before, I was working, looking after the shop, and thinking about how to make money. I didn't have the mood to take care of my children and cats and dogs at the same time."

Xiao Cao replied with a melancholy expression.

"But now, all I need to do every day is chores and learn English. But as soon as you leave the manor, I can't put my mind at ease. I might as well raise some small animals to distract myself."

"Besides, our little Yicheng especially loves fluffy little guys, so let's adopt one too."

"this----"

Seeing his wife's resolute attitude, Lao Feng couldn't help but frown.

"Adoption is possible, but all the cats and dogs from yesterday were snapped up!"

"What's the big deal? When you're looking for a litter box for that good girl Winnie, just get one for our child too. Once someone brings back the next batch of animals, we'll apply for one for our child."

As Xiao Cao spoke, he patted Lao Feng's hand.

Old Feng nodded and smiled.

"No problem, you take care of the child. I'll leave now and bring the things back by the afternoon at the latest."

"A few days ago, I was exploring the farm town and I saw a few households with cat litter and cat food. I remember those places, so I can just go there."

After saying goodbye to his wife and children, Lao Feng turned around and went downstairs to the lobby.

When he arrived in the lobby, most of the remaining field and office staff were packing up their equipment. Upon seeing Lao Feng arrive, the office staff immediately greeted him.

Responding to the greetings, Old Feng took out a pack of cigarettes and handed out about half of it to everyone.

Then, he looked at William curiously and asked.

"William, you've prepared quite a lot of gear today. What, your legs feel much better now? Planning to officially join the operation?"

"certainly!"

When asked by Lao Feng, William took the tobacco, lit it, and smiled as he lifted his foot.

"It's been over half a month, I'm almost fully recovered now. Staying in the manor all day, I'm practically numb. I need to go out and broaden my horizons!"

"Ha, you're so lucky, Mazefuck, you're better in just half a month. I'm not like you, old Bert said my leg would take at least two months to heal, fuck!"

Old Mai reluctantly picked up on William's words, while glancing enviously at William's legs.

William patted Old Mac's arm gently and smiled.

"Madison, I'm not as big as you. Your weight means your sprained ankle will be much worse than mine."

"But don't rush, just take a rest. With you at home, I feel more at ease going out."

"Of course, with me at home, you can rest assured. No one can cause trouble in front of me, except for the boss~"

Madison immediately bumped fists with William, and after the two bumped fists, Madison couldn't help but look at the cigarette in William's mouth and continue to speak with emotion.

"And, haha, you look much better now. When we first met, the way you looked sometimes made me want to punch someone!"

"Ha, people always change. Disasters are our best teachers, and a good leader can teach us even more!"

William responded to Old Mac with a smile, flicking off his cigarette ash.

While the two of them were chatting, Old Feng, holding a cigarette, looked at the crowd and calmly said, "Let's end the small talk here, guys. It's time for us in the back office to get moving."

"William, since this is your first time officially participating in an operation, let's go together. Let's head towards the fence on the north side of the camp."

"Kelvin, Adele, you two go to the south side of the camp, towards the fence near the forest. The rest of you stay near home, protect the logistical farmland, and take care of our cattle and horses."

"No problem, Feng!" William nodded. "Okay, Captain!" Kelvin nodded.

"Received, Captain Feng~" Adele smiled.

Fishing enthusiast Kelvin had long wanted to explore the area south of the camp, where there were more rivers and a more developed water system, making it an ideal place for fishing. Moreover, Gavin and Steve had even caught a big fish there!

Seeing that no one had any objections to his assignment, Lao Feng pursed his lips, then turned to the field team members beside him and tentatively began to speak.

"As for you field staff, Father Hogan, your job this morning should be dealing with the bodies that were retrieved from the water yesterday afternoon, right?"

"I estimate it will take you at least a morning to pile up those bodies and burn them, so you shouldn't need to use the yacht this morning."

"In that case, this afternoon I'll take you on a yacht to retrieve any more floating corpses, and while I'm at it, I'll try to teach you how to operate the yacht!"

"That's great, Feng, thank you for your help!"

Hearing Old Feng's words, Father Hogan smiled and then pointed to the men around him, saying...

"Barn, Tara, let's work in groups of three. Like Feng said, let's clear away the bodies that piled up yesterday afternoon this morning, and burn and bury them as much as possible."

"I'm not going to worry about the rest of them, Madison. You take care of them. We're leaving."

As soon as he finished speaking, Father Hogan swiftly and decisively took Scarface Barn and Aunt Tara away.

As Barn left, Adele, in the office staff, breathed a worried sigh and then whispered to her lover, Barn.

"Barn, be careful, I'm waiting for you to come home~"

"Okay, darling, please take care of yourself too, for the sake of human civilization!"

Barn smiled and waved to Adele, then followed Father Hogan, leaving the manor, getting into the car, and speeding towards the resort with gasoline.

Watching their figures grow ever more distant, Adele took a deep breath, then mounted her horse and followed the fisherman Kelvin further and further away.

Seeing this, Lao Feng put down his cigarette butt and then slung the HK416 over his back.

"Let's go, William, it's time we got moving!"

"No problem, but there's something I want to ask you. You really are a special forces soldier, right? I trust Edward's judgment!"

"Haha, you mean that? Stop kidding me. I'm just a cook, and I can also shoot a gun and fight a little bit."

Old Feng responded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, William laughed as well. He walked to the front of the stable, mounted his horse in the stirrups, and continued speaking.

"Oh yeah, right, besides shooting and fighting, you can also fly helicopters and yachts, right? Haha~"

Amidst laughter, William maneuvered his horse and left the stable with Old Feng.

As the two passed by, the large Sariel raised his right hand to them and greeted them.

"May you be at peace, my friends!"

"For the continuation of civilization!"

Old Feng responded solemnly to Sariel, then steered his horse further away.

Sariel stood watching the two figures walk away for a long time before smiling and walking towards the cattle pen.

As Sariel approached the cattle pen, old Bert, pushing his wheelchair, grinned and spoke to Sariel.

"Sariel, you seem quite envious of them. What, do you also want to be a field or office worker?"

"Stop joking, sir. Do you think someone in my physique has any chance of being a field worker? I don't want to cause trouble for others."

Sariel responded helplessly, and after he did, Manus, the energetic young man who was busy not far from old Bert, couldn't help but look up at Sariel's enormous size.

After one glance —

"Pfft!"

Manus couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hearing his laughter, old Bert paused for a moment, then snatched the short stick from his hand and smacked Manus on the buttocks.

Snapped!

"what!"

"What the hell are you laughing at, you little bastard? I'm being nice by not laughing at you, you think? You're some underground boxer who couldn't even withstand a punch from Gavin?!"

"Uncle Bert, don't say that about Brother Manus. Brother Manus has already tried his best. He's very good at blacksmithing; you even praised him yesterday!"

Old Bert had barely finished speaking when, before Manus could even complain,

Susan, the manipulative woman who had been clinging to Manus, then spoke up to explain for him.

Upon hearing Susan's explanation, old Bert immediately chuckled and then turned to Susan and said...

"You have the nerve to defend him? What nonsense are you spouting? You lazy bum, didn't you take any work today either?!"

"No, Uncle Bert, I'm going to the radio room to sing for two hours this afternoon. Who said I haven't been working!"

Susan immediately retorted to old Bert.

Upon hearing this, old Bert couldn't help but shake his head, scoffing as he continued.

"Oh right, right, you only sing for two hours a day, right? That's how old Mrs. Daniel is! Besides radio, she helps cut potato molds every day. And look at you, Mazefak, you've never even gotten your fingernails dirty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, old Bert patted his wheelchair unhappily.

Susan, however, not only ignored old Bert's reprimand, but also moved closer to him, pinching his shoulder and saying something.

"I just wanted to show you more respect. You are Manus's teacher, and I am your junior. I can take care of you by staying here."

"Ha, Mazefak, you actually have a point, haha, alright, you pass~"

Old Bert eventually couldn't resist the girl's flattery and, after pretending to be angry for a while, he couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing old Bert's laughter, Saliye Manus and the others chuckled along, and their reaction was observed by several people in the manor.

On the third floor of the manor, in the study room.

Teacher Hela pointed to the scenery outside the window, which was a group of people busy at work, and spoke to the two children, one in black and one in white.

"See that, kids? Those are the logistics team!"

"Don't think that logistics is inferior to field and office staff. In reality, everyone is equal. Without the hard work of logistics, the pressure on field and office staff would be even greater!"

"Therefore, we must always remember how busy everyone is. Everything we do is for the restoration of our civilization and the resurgence of human civilization!"

"And you, you are our future, children!"
