Chapter 71: Chapter 066: The Poor of the Tap Water Factory, I’m Coming

Noon.

Room 804.

The aroma of the dishes wafted through the room, provoking a great appetite.

Yan Nini had never imagined that a simple meal of a few dishes could be so delicious and tempting, continuously stimulating her taste buds.

Looking at the food in front of her.

She could hardly resist the urge to start eating, but seeing that no one else had begun, she definitely couldn’t either. She had to avoid being too eager, to be polite, especially with four seniors present. She had to embody the manners of a stylish young woman.

Lin Fan introduced with a smile, "Miss Yan, let me introduce you, this is Li Mei, who has excellent cooking skills, and this is her daughter Feifei."

Li Mei, who was still cooking the last dish in the kitchen, waved to Yan Nini with a friendly smile, knowing how the hardships of the post-apocalyptic world could push a person to the brink of insanity.

If it weren’t for Lin Fan’s arrival and help, she and her daughter might have already died in the dreadful apocalypse.

And regarding the girl before her, she genuinely felt happy because she had met a good person like Lin Fan. Even though Lin Fan’s ways were a bit odd, almost out of place in the apocalypse, such behavior would have been perfectly normal in peaceful times.

She understood that it was not Lin Fan who had a problem, but themselves.

Therefore.

She had been working hard to revert to the behavior of the peaceful days.

Feifei said sweetly, "Hello, Sister Yan, my name is Feifei. You’re really pretty; Uncle Lin must like you a lot."

She took a sneaky glance at Yan Nini.

Little girls have a sense of beauty too.

And she thought Sister Yan was incredibly beautiful.

Yan Nini smiled, finding the little girl quite clever and witty. As for what she’d just said, Yan Nini didn’t take it to heart. Children speak their mind, and besides, being a multi-talented dance and appearance streamer, she naturally wouldn’t blush over a mere comment.

"Feifei is also very cute."

Lin Fan continued the introductions, "This is Chen He, and this is her daughter Tingting. Brother Chen is a networking repair expert—a very skilled one."

"Hello, Brother Chen, hello Tingting," responded Yan Nini amiably.

Chen He and his daughter smiled back at Yan Nini warmly.

For Chen He though, Lin Fan had talked him up a bit too much. He was just a broadband installer, whom Lin Fan trusted and whom the old master had entrusted with a significant task, thus turning him into a so-called networking repair expert overnight.

Unfortunately, he was still a novice.

He had no one to express this to.

All he could do was bury himself in thick books daily, taxing countless neurons to learn, all the while thinking, if only he had this kind of learning drive when he was younger... Well, it was better just to focus on studying now.

"Here comes the soup, vegetable soup," said Li Mei, carrying a bowl of soup over.

Lin Fan chuckled, "Join us for food, Li Sister."

"Okay."

Li Sister took off her apron, sat next to her daughter, stroking her head with a full smile. Although life had changed a lot compared to before, she was already very content.

"Let’s eat."

The moment she heard they could start, Yan Nini could barely contain herself.

She was truly hungry.

During the time she stayed home, instant noodles and bread caused her distress. She could never have imagined she would get to eat hot food again.

"Wow, Li Sister, your cooking is amazing," praised Yan Nini.

Li Mei laughed, "If you like it, eat more. In the apocalypse, many things are hard to find, but the food we are eating now is pretty good, considering the circumstances."

Yan Nini nodded furiously in agreement. Indeed, she felt very fortunate and could relax completely, setting aside all those messy thoughts. She realized that she had been too cautious and suspicious of others before.

Her gratitude toward Lin Fan was truly from the depths of her heart.

Perhaps it was divine providence that brought Lin Fan to where she lived.

Old Master Wang asked, "How do you deal with water resources where you live?"

He had been researching this issue recently.

As an old soldier, a retired officer, water and food are most important in harsh environments.

Yan Nini replied, "Old Master, the tap water is drinkable. I had no water at home and was extremely thirsty. I was afraid that zombies might have fallen into the water plant and contaminated the water supply. But after preparing myself for the worst and drinking tap water, I discovered there were no problems."

Lin Fan listened quietly.

He didn’t understand the situation.

Of course, not understanding didn’t prevent him from listening.

Chen He said, "That means the tap water has remained clean, but there could be two reasons: either no zombies have fallen in and the source hasn’t been contaminated, or they have fallen in but can’t contaminate it. If it’s the latter, it’s indeed good news for us survivors."

Old Master Wang pondered for a moment and said, "The issue I’m considering isn’t just that. As far as I know, water plants draw water from rivers and it goes through various processes before it’s fit to be piped into our homes. Otherwise, the water that comes out of the faucets would be murky and polluted. Look at the tap water now; it’s still clean."

"I suspect there are survivors at the water plant who have been managing the water and ensuring it remains clean."

Upon hearing this,

Old Master Zhou said, "It seems there really are survivors at the water plant providing us with clean water. Such a person shouldn’t just be left there; maybe one day, when their food runs out, they’ll die there."

While digging into his rice, which tasted quite good, Lin Fan said, "I’ll go take a look this afternoon. I know where the water plant is."

Old Master Wang asked, "Lin Fan, won’t that be dangerous?"

"Dangerous?" Lin Fan paused slightly, then shook his head, "That’s not an issue. Even if it is dangerous, I’ll still go take a look. I don’t understand the operational mode there, but water is very important to us. If the survivor has been able to maintain the water supply under dangerous conditions, that’s quite impressive. Such a person shouldn’t always have to stay in danger, hmm... at least we can offer them the chance to enjoy some delicious steamed rice."

He had another idea.

Maybe the other party had no place to live.

It would be good to go and take a look, maybe to pitch a house for sale, and making a little extra money would be a nice option too.

Old Master Wang and the others nodded and continued eating their meal.

Yan Nini looked at Lin Fan curiously.

She knew he was very capable,

but she couldn’t comprehend why he was so powerful.

Could he possibly be the legendary superhero?

After lunch was over,

Lin Fan, knowing that Yan Nini’s living place still lacked essential daily supplies, asked her if she needed to buy anything. He could pick them up on the way back from the water plant. The errand fee was still one hundred yuan, which is a fair return for one’s effort.

After he left,

Yan Nini asked, "Old Master, is he a Super Soldier?"

Faced with such a question,

Old Master Wang smiled without a word,

as if to say...

Little girl, you have to figure out this kind of question on your own.
