Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Plans to Join the Team

Back on the twelfth floor, Fang Yao went back home and found his father had cleaned every corner of the house and sprayed disinfectant everywhere.

He had also wiped the counter in the kitchen, tables, chairs, and every other spot that could be wiped with disinfectant.

Since they had run out of bottled water to drink, Mr. Fang had also boiled a huge pot of water and put it aside to cool for drinking.

They didn’t have enough food, and would probably starve soon unless he went outside to scavenge. However, they couldn’t lack water for drinking.

When Fang Yao walked in and found the clean environment, he felt as if he could breathe fresh air. It was not that the house was never clean, but something felt different.

He placed the hotpot he brought on the table and called his father to come and eat.

Mr. Fang was surprised when his son opened the hotpot and placed the layered bowls on the table.

Apart from the porridge made with rice, minced meat, and vegetables, there was also another bowl with steamed rice, beef, pork, and a variety of vegetables.

Looking at the rich food on the table and the bowl of soup as well, Mr. Fang felt his eyes sting with tears. His tears were different from Fang Yao’s, after all, he had also seen the world.

So, the appearance of the food after not seeing it for long didn’t matter too much to him. For him, even a bowl of plain porridge was okay.

However, the fact that someone was willing to give them so much food when others would turn into thieves to snatch even a packet of noodles was touching.

He hadn’t known what Chu Miao was going to do with his son when she took him. He was only convinced by his instincts that she wouldn’t hurt him.

But looking at his clean and energetic son who had obviously been fed showed that there were still good people in this world who valued humanity.

Moreover, they had also packed food for Fang Yao to bring home knowing that he might give it to his wife who had offended them several times.

Such good people were like a sign that the future would not be too dark. At least, life was still worth living even in such an environment.

The father was urged by his son to sit down and eat. Even though Fang Yao insisted that he had eaten, his father still forced him to drink a bowl of soup.

It was a good thing that he forced him because the soup was the leftovers of what Chu Miao’s mother had made earlier that day.

It was made using the spiritual water coming from the space ring. She had used this water to improve the health of the soldiers and their strength as well.

Since they couldn’t be given the water openly, using it to make soup did the job too. They would probably think that it was the ingredients used in the soup that gave them more energy.

With Fang Yao’s health having suffered from the effects of cholera, such soup would be very beneficial to him.

"Son, you must remember this kindness today. Don’t repay kindness with ingratitude. If they ever need your help, you have to help." Mr. Fang instructed his son.

"I know, dad. Don’t worry. I know who is genuine to me and who isn’t. So, I’ll help in the future if I can. In fact, I want to join their team, but I am a little ashamed to ask as I don’t have any benefits I could bring to them." Fang Yao replied to his father and also expressed his desire to join Chu Miao’s team.

He had seen how the soldiers were treated as equals and not subordinates. Looking at the clothes they were wearing. When he went to shower, Fu Nie had also taken him to his bedroom to change his clothes and saw the new and clean beddings inside.

Fu Nie had told him about how all those things were provided by the Chu family. Looking at the variety of food on the table that was left after the soldiers had had their fill, one could tell that they didn’t have to limit their consumption and weren’t afraid of running out of food.

He wasn’t interested in joining the team because of the food alone, but the atmosphere. They lived like one family even though it was obvious that there were superiors and subordinates.

"If you want to join their team, you don’t have to be around the bush. I can tell that the Chu family, and also that major general preferred straightforward people who state their motives outright instead of taking detours.so, the next time you see them, just state your intentions right away.

However, you also have to be capable of doing something for the team. You cannot expect them to accept you to be a burden to them.

But my son is so smart, you will definitely fit in well and be useful in your own way." Mr. Fang encouraged his son when he heard that he wanted to join the Chu family team.

In fact, he had some ulterior motives for encouraging his son. He didn’t think he had the ability to protect him, but if he joined a group of people who had similar values and treated each other like family, then they would definitely protect their own.

He could guarantee that his son would be protected. Even if something happened to him, he didn’t have to worry about his son not being able to survive.

Parents were selfish people and always wanted what was best for their children regardless of the price they had to pay.

Right now, if someone told Mr. Fang that his son would live a better life if he died, he would die without thinking twice.

The current life was not that much worth living for an old man like him anyway. But his son was different, his life was just beginning and seeing how some people can still live normal lives, he wanted the same for his son.

While the father and son were thinking about future plans while eating, Chu Miao also took Ye Xuan back to his apartment and left to go home.

She needed to talk to her grandfather about going to the spiritual energy pool in the soul ring.

Now that everyone had stabilized their cultivation, it wouldn’t be a problem if they advanced again.

Chu Miao was especially looking forward to seeing how much Ye Xuan could improve with his darkness element.

The family sat together in the living room to talk about it. It had been a long time since the family sat down to discuss matters.

They were either in seclusion, or others were doing their own research and couldn’t sit down together. Now that no one was in seclusion or doing research, they finally had the time to talk.

"Grandpa, when do you think is the best time to go to the spiritual energy pool big brother and I found in the cave?" Chu Miao asked as soon as the family members sat down with a cup of tea in hand.

"Why don’t we do it in two days? That way, the soldiers would have settled and gotten used to the environment here." Grandpa Chu suggested as he thought about the situation of the soldiers.

"Your grandfather is right. The soldiers just arrived today and maybe there are some things that they might need to consult us before they settle down. So, let’s give them two days to do that before we go into the soul ring to cultivate." Chu Mo added.

"You are right, we don’t know how long it will take for us to cultivate. Cultivating in that spiritual energy pool will definitely lead to seclusion because the spiritual energy is abundant.

Although time in the soul ring flows differently from outside, we still can’t predict how long it will take, so, it’s better to be prepared." Chu Miao agreed with her grandfather and father’s suggestion.

She had also thought of doing this as well, so it wasn’t a surprise.

"We don’t know how long we will be gone, so before that, let’s prepare enough food for the soldiers and also the other members in case they need it.

Since there is no electricity and the generators might not be enough to run freezers or refrigerators, then let’s choose vegetables that wouldn’t spoil easily." Mother Chu, as a mother and a woman, had her maternal instincts on high.

"Your mother is right. Let’s choose the food to give them. I am starting to worry about all the food in the warehouse and that growing in the farms inside the soul ring.

We keep harvesting and it keeps growing and reproducing. The animals are the same. Now, there are so many pigs in the farm that we could never eat them. Milk is almost overflowing, and eggs have filled a section of the warehouse.

It’s good that there are people who can eat all that food." Father Chu commented with frustration.

He always helped his wife with the farm work when idle, but the amount of food was shocking.
