Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Giving Warmth

"Don’t crowd here, let’s go to the fifteenth floor." Grandpa Chu said.

After finding out about Chu Miao and Ye Xuan’s mission, he had Chu Hao call the other new members of the team to clean up a place for the new members to stay.

Luckily, those moving from the lower floors seemed to be afraid of being near their family and hadn’t occupied the empty fifteenth floor. So, he had it tidied up.

However, looking at the huge number of people standing in the corridor, he wondered whether those two apartments would be enough.

If he wasn’t mistaken, each apartment only had three bedrooms, which were smaller than the ones in their own apartment.

However, they would have to do for now. Once the rain subsided, the news about a safe zone would be announced and he was sure that some people would vacate their houses.

All of them followed the stairs to the fifteenth floor and entered one of the apartments.

Even though these apartments were spacious, with over a hundred people standing inside, it looked more like a packed crusade.

They all had to stand at attention, first out of respect for the general, and second, because they didn’t want to dirty and ruin the furniture in the house.

Grandpa Chu sat down followed by Chu Miao, Ye Xuan, and Chu Hao. Then the other members they had taken in the day before followed suit and sat in the remaining seats.

"Welcome to the team soldiers." Grandpa Chu said as he finally looked at them well.

"Thank you, general." The unified voices of the soldiers traveled throughout the building.

It gave a sense of security to some people while others felt even more oppressed. It was already frightening living with that bunch of people from the upper four floors, and now there were more of them.

They wondered if these soldiers would behave as merciless as that family on the top floor or if they would be just as helpful as service men as before.

But they didn’t dare to provoke them. What if they were like Chu Miao who cleaved people into two at the smallest argument? It’s better to stay away from them.

While some people chose to steer clear of this new bunch of people, others were planning how to manipulate them into getting them supplies. After all, they were soldiers and their duty was to serve the people.

However, such people were destined to be disappointed.

"Do you have any extra clothes you can change into?" Grandpa Chu asked as he looked at the drenched soldiers with their clothes soaked to the innermost layer.

"Yes General, we have clothes but they have been soaked as well." It was Qi Long who stepped forward to explain. He was their leader after all.

"Bunny, go with your brother and get them some dry clothes to change into. Also, ask your mother and second grandpa to prepare some hot food for them to eat before we talk." Grandpa Chu instructed as he turned to smile at his granddaughter.

"Okay grandpa." Chu Miao replied immediately with a sweet smile and grabbed her brother from the next seat.

She looked at Ye Xuan and said, "I’ll be back in a minute."

Ye Xuan nodded with a gentle smile on his face, "mmm...go." He said to her,

The new soldiers had been astonished by the generosity of the general but they weren’t pretentious and didn’t refuse.

They assumed that the hot meal the general was talking about was porridge and to be honest, even that had been a luxury for them in the past month or so.

They had eaten dry rations so much that their throats were about to peel. So, a hot bowl of porridge was very welcome.

As soon as Ye Xuan finished speaking, the soldiers witnessed a sight that shocked everyone who saw it for the first time.

The two siblings disappeared on the spot. Loud gasps came from the soldiers standing around the room as they widened their eyes and concentrated on the spot Chu Miao and Chu Hao had been standing.

Where did they go? The group of five of Qi Long’s team together with Liu Chen were still surprised, but not as shocked as the others.

Now they understood how Chu Miao had appeared in front of them out of thin air when bullets were flying everywhere.

Seeing the shock on the faces of the soldiers, Yang Leo, Zhao Lu, and Chichi felt a balance return in their hearts.

They weren’t the only country bumpkins who had never seen the world and we’re shocked when they saw Chu Miao teleport for the first time.

Grandpa Chu felt exasperated by this scene. He had seen it so many times that he was starting to think that people acting like drowning fish when they saw his granddaughter teleport for the first time was normal.

"Don’t worry, she just teleported, she’ll be back soon." Chichi said in a way to comfort the soldiers. She understood the feeling very well. After all, she had experienced it just yesterday.

However, the soldiers just looked at her as if she was a lunatic. Did she really think that teleportation was something normal that she was comforting them so casually?

She was making it sound like teleporting was the most basic skill.

However, they didn’t dwell on it. After all, the apocalypse had brought too many shocking things to the world.

Before they could digest what had just happened, Chu Miao and Chu Hao appeared on the same spot they disappeared only two minutes ago.

How fast did they prepare the clothes? They were gone for such a short time.

However, they soon understood what competence was.

"Alright, you guys line up and get a pair of clothes and shoes. State your size and I’ll give it to you.

Unfortunately, they are not packed, so be careful not to get them wet. There are three bedrooms in this apartment and three in the next.

Go and take a hot shower before changing." Chu Hao instructed as he motioned for Yang Leo to lead some soldiers to the rooms in the apartment they were in and Zhao Lu to take the rest to the apartment next door once they had taken their supplies.

The soldiers were surprised that not only were they getting dry clothes, they were getting shoes too. Moreover, they could take a hot shower.

This was the lap of luxury for them who had not only not had a hot full meal for over a month, but also hadn’t taken a hot shower in ages.

Qi Long led the team and walked to Chu Hao and reported his size of clothes and shoes.

Without hesitation, a set of military uniform his size and a pair of military boots with socks appeared in Chu Hao’s hands. Moreover, there was also a warm jacket placed together with the uniform.

This was something that nobody had expected. They had thought that the clothes promised were just ordinary civilian clothes that could at least keep them dry, but this was like a dream.

Even the mostly usually composed Qi Long was stunned and just stood there without making a move to take them.

Seeing how dazed he was, Chu Hao had to call him twice before he came back to his senses and took the clothes and shoes.

"Thank you." Qi Long gave a heartfelt thank you at that moment. He was now completely sure that he had made the right decision contacting Ye Xuan and requesting to join them.

The rest were just as surprised as Qi Long but they soon composed themselves and followed behind him in a single file line to pick up their supplies.

After three people had taken theirs, Yang Leo led them to the bedrooms and showed them the bathrooms.

There were all types of toiletries and cleaning supplies in the bathroom so they didn’t have to worry.

"Take your time." Yang Leo said as he left to stand in the corridor and wait for those who followed.

Of course the soldiers wouldn’t really take too much time. They knew that their brothers also needed to take a shower and change out of their wet clothes, so they were out in only five minutes.

Fully dressed and warm. Warmth was something that had escaped them for a long time, and they finally felt it again.
