Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 252 - Chapter 252 Chapter 251 Taking You to Flirt with Girls (8)

Chapter 252: Chapter 251: Taking You to Flirt with Girls? (8) Chapter 252: Chapter 251: Taking You to Flirt with Girls? (8) After the Poisonous Mushroom Incident in C City, fewer and fewer people ventured deep into the mountains within the safe zone.

After more than ten days of hard work, the 208th Regiment finally settled the residents within the safe zone.

All the officers and soldiers were so exhausted that they collapsed and, after completing their mission, slept like logs in the barracks.

Qu Guo’an slept for a whole day and suddenly sat up in the middle of the night, his eyes black holes staring into the darkness.

Zelin had no idea what he was thinking, but his sudden wakefulness startled Tang Zelin from his deep sleep.

Tang Zelin asked him what was wrong.

Qu Guo’an replied, “I dreamed the mountain collapsed.”

After that, he turned his head to look straight at Tang Zelin, “Old Tang, do you think that’s possible?”

“You’re overthinking it, a perfectly fine mountain, how could it just collapse? You’re just tired lately. If you can’t sleep, drink some water to relax before trying again.”

Qu Guo’an obediently got up to drink some water, and after drinking, he couldn’t sleep anymore due to the nightmare, so he sat on the edge of the bed in his slippers, wanting to chat with Tang Zelin.

In the past few days, Tang Zelin was also so tired that he was exhausted. With Qu Guo’an unable to sleep, how could he?

“Old Tang, keep me company for a bit.”

“If you’re not sleepy, count sheep, and you’ll fall asleep soon.”

“We have to go to the city for a meeting early tomorrow. I have an idea; can you give me your thoughts on it?”

Tang Zelin yawned, “Middle of the night, and you want to strategize? Let’s talk about it when we get up in the morning.”

“We won’t have time in the morning; stop sleeping and get up to chat. If not, tomorrow morning, don’t go to Miss Su first. How can you forget your friends upon seeing a beauty, doesn’t it pain your conscience?”

“It doesn’t hurt at all!” Tang Zelin patted his chest, “My conscience is jumping around.”

Qu Guo’an: Frown!

Despite his words, Tang Zelin still rolled over, propped his head up, and lay on his side.

“Go on, say it.”

Qu Guo’an lit a small oil lamp, and the dormitory lit up a lot, at least he could see Old Tang’s face on the opposite side.

“Look, I’ve been pondering this matter for some days now, and I don’t know if it would be effective to bring it up to the higher-ups.”

“Well, spit it out.”

“Ever since the establishment of the safe zone, our troops’ rations have been inadequate. Old Geng, who manages logistics, comes to dump his grievances on me every day. With so little to work with, there’s no way to make a variety out of the same dish. If we keep eating the same thing today, tomorrow, and the next day, our warriors’ health will deteriorate with the heavy workload. I’m afraid that if this goes on for too long, there will be friction between the military and the civilians.”

“Hmm, I’ve noticed that problem too. At this rate, it’s not sustainable. The research institute has already issued the report on mushroom toxicity testing. Ever since the sun blacked out for a few days and then reappeared, there’s been something wrong with the stuff growing in the ground. Before the disaster, poisonous was poisonous, and non-poisonous was non-poisonous. Anyone with clear eyes could distinguish between mushroom species and knew which to pick. Now, that’s no longer feasible.”

Tang Zelin sat up and started fiddling with his fingers as he discussed the current predicament with Qu Guo’an.

“Don’t worry about the colors or whatever. Mushrooms of the same variety, growing in the same place can be unpredictable; some are poisonous, some are not. Even the normally edible fungi are inconsistent; some are toxic, and some are not. What do we do about this?” Tang Zelin sighed, “Just because everyone wanted a taste of something fresh, so many died in a flash. Now, the authorities don’t even know how to make a public announcement.”

Qu Guo’an said, “Now that the test results are out, aren’t they planning on releasing them?”

“How to release them?”

“We can’t just keep it secret, can we?”
