Wang Qiang turned his head in surprise, his face full of confusion. He just opened his mouth to ask what the other party meant, but Tang Xiaoquan... walked away, and then followed Hu Xiaodong's instructions and started to pick up the scraps of paper on the ground one by one.

"Brother Quan! Let me help you!" Seeing Tang Xiaoquan's actions, Acheng immediately joined in without even thinking about it.

But with the two of them leading the way, the rest of Wang Qiang and others had no nerve to continue to stand there dumbly, and they all rolled up their sleeves and started to work.

Hu Xiaodong completely saw the transformation of several people. He and the old man glanced at each other, and then both nodded with satisfaction.

As the leader of this labor revolution, Tang Xiaoquan naturally left a very good impression on the two of them.

So is Tang Xiaoquan really that hardworking? Obviously not.

Years of living as an otaku have long separated him from the word "clean", and "submissiveness" is his true portrayal now.

But if that's the case, why is he so proactive?

There is no other reason than the word "life".

First of all, the existence of these garbage will undoubtedly attract small insects such as mosquitoes and flies. Although there is no evidence that mosquitoes and flies have the ability to spread zombie viruses, in the end of the world, even minor illnesses such as colds and colds are enough to kill people.

Little life.

Secondly, there are many plastic bags scattered among the things scattered on the ground, and wine bottles are mixed among them. When walking, if you are not careful, you will make a "clattering, pinging" sound.

These noises may not seem like much at ordinary times, but in times of crisis, they can become a fatal death knell.

Finally, and the most emphasized point in Article 18 of the Survival Rules, in the end of the world, never ignore any detail, no matter how insignificant it seems, but remember, details are the key to success or failure!

Everyone cleaned up for a while, but soon they were exhausted by the harsh sunlight, and their sweat flowed down like a tap water pipe that had been opened.

Wang Qiang raised his hand and looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but cursed secretly: "Damn it, why didn't Hou Yi leak your love back then?"

"Puch~" Wenquan Xin couldn't hold back his laughter. He was amused by Wang Qiang's words and chuckled: "Haha, brother, if it is shot down, we will never have the chance to enjoy this free sunbathing!"

It still didn't matter, but it was Wang and Wen's mindless dialogue that made everyone's hearts burn out a lot of the anger that was gradually rising due to boredom.

"Uncle Lin, it's almost time to cook!" Hu Xiaodong rolled up his sleeves and glanced at the Casio mountaineering watch attached to it. The huge dial showed that the time was already 11:30 noon.

Uncle Lin nodded, then turned around and walked out, but he stomped back before taking two steps, with a depressed look on his face, as if he was hiding something unspeakable.

He calmly and quietly pulled Hu Xiaodong away from the crowd, and then whispered in an old voice: "Xiao Hu, we didn't bring much rice back from the store last time. Look at today's rice...

…”

The old man originally wanted to say whether he should do less, but then he thought about it and couldn't bear it.

After all, it was Xiao Hu and his gang of young people who were working hard outside every day, and he, an old man who was about to go to the grave, had not done any shit, and still deducted their little food from them. Unreasonably, he

They all thought it was unjustifiable.

so……

Seeing the old man's hesitant expression, Hu Xiaodong immediately understood his concerns and immediately replied: "Uncle Lin, there are a few packets of instant noodles we collected in Wu's bag today. If you don't have enough rice over there, just give them some

Let's cook them. Besides, you don't have to worry about food, I will find a way to solve it."

With a warm smile, Hu Xiaodong patted the old man's shoulder comfortingly, and then watched him slowly leave.

"Alas~" With a silent sigh, Hu Xiaodong walked to a corner of the roof alone, then took out a cigarette and lit it, then stroked his cheek and looked into the distance.

"Why, Hu Ge is sitting here smoking a cigarette alone? Is there anything bothering him?"

Slightly startled, Hu Xiaodong turned his head inexplicably, only to see a fair and sculpted face looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Ah, it's Xiao Tang, why did you come here? Why don't you go with them?"

Spreading his hands, Tang Xiaoquan put on a bored expression and replied: "Nothing's wrong, I just saw you frowning just now, so I came over to see if there is anything I can do to help."

Tang Xiaoquan looked quite casual, as if he was really here to relieve his worries.

However, in fact, he never stopped observing Hu Xiaodong from the moment he climbed to the top of the building.

Because in his opinion, this man should be the leader of the team in front of him, so as long as he grasps his dynamics, it means that he grasps the dynamics of the opponent's entire team.

Hu Xiaodong spat out his eyes meaningfully, then handed over the cigarette pack in his pocket and asked lightly: "Would you like one?"

Tang Xiaoquan shook his head and declined: "No, thank you."

"Well, there is no harm in smoking less for young people!" Hu Xiaodong said absently, put the cigarette pack into his bag again, and then continued to spit.

"Brother Hu, our joining has caused you a lot of trouble!" Seeing that the topic was about to reach a deadlock, Tang Xiaoquan simply went straight to the topic and said: "If it is a food problem, we can help solve it."

Tang Xiaoquan naturally thought these words carefully.

First of all, they have to collect food regardless of whether they meet Hu Xiaodong or his gang. But now that they have met each other, there is no reason not to take advantage of it.

Secondly, judging from the current contacts, Hu Xiaodong and his gang are not too bad overall. We can basically rule out the possibility that they will snatch the food or eat it all after collecting it.

Finally, whether you want it or not, Hu Xiaodong will still mention material matters, so instead of waiting for others to speak, it is better to bring it up first. This will not only show that you know the basics, but also contribute to winning the favor of the other party.

To sum up, Tang Xiaoquan seems to have no reason not to do such a cheap deal that kills two birds with one stone.

When he finished speaking, Hu Xiaodong took a long puff of cigarette, then spit it out, saying: "That's right, your addition has made our food supply even tighter. If nothing else, we will run out of food tomorrow."

Hu Xiaodong's words were very soft, but anyone could hear the solemnity in them.

Regarding such a result, Tang Xiaoquan did not show any surprise. On the contrary, having had the same experience, he could understand the other party's hesitation.
