Rebirth: The Doomsday Solitary Favorite Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Kerry's acquaintances

There are advantages to having fewer people, and there are advantages to having more people. Although they decided to spend the night here, they still parked the car in a place farther away from the service area, keeping a subtle distance from the crowd.

Six people, three tents, lined up along the travel van.

Because the situation was special this time, Han Yi did not take out too eye-catching food from the space. They simply cooked some instant noodles for dinner. When Han Jiaojiao was cooking noodles, Yan Xiao deliberately teased her again.

"Jiaojiao, give me an egg."

These two days, everyone knew that Han Jiaojiao had a few eggs in her bag. She treasured them so much that she was reluctant to take them out to show them.

Han Jiaojiao felt that Yan Xiao was just a mouthful person. He would feel itchy all over if he didn't find someone to fight with every day.

She pretended not to understand and said, "I don't have any eggs."

"Just the ones in your bag." Yan Xiao winked and glanced at the backpack behind her.

This small backpack was also recently found by Han Yi from the space. It was made of lambskin, soft and breathable, and was specially used by Han Jiaojiao to carry eggs. Han Jiaojiao had baby fat on her face, which made her look young. Carrying a small schoolbag made her look even younger.

Han Jiaojiao was not angry after hearing this. Instead, she shook the small backpack behind her with great pride and said, "Did you forget? This was picked up in the Gobi Desert. Who knows what kind of eggs it is? Oh, do you think it could be a scorpion or lizard egg? I don't know what it will look like after the eggshell is cracked open? Will it be soft, wet, sticky, with legs and tails..."

Yan Xiao couldn't help but imagine what she said, made a retching motion, and ran away in shame.

Han Jiaojiao smiled at his back, turned around and took some bags of braised eggs and ham sausages from the box, peeled them and threw them into the pot. There were really no fresh eggs, but braised eggs could still be added.

Someone else came over from behind. Han Jiaojiao turned around and saw that it was Bai Kairui. She smiled and said, "The noodles are cooked, but they are still hot. You can eat them later."

Bai Kairui looked a little strange. Unlike his usual carefree and cheerful appearance, he seemed a little embarrassed at the moment and his face looked ugly.

"Jiaojiao..."

Han Jiaojiao thought he looked a little strange and asked, "What happened?"

Bai Kairui shook his head, reached out and scratched his golden hair, then took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to say to Han Jiaojiao: "...Can you give me some...food, um...and water..."

"Sure." Han Jiaojiao was even more puzzled, "They are all in the car, take them yourself. Aren't you used to eat instant noodles?"

"No." Bai Kairui lowered his head, a little ashamed, "I met my old friends, they...are not very well, and have no food."

Seeing that Han Jiaojiao looked a little confused, he added, "They came here for a self-driving tour with me."

Han Jiaojiao nodded, looking very understanding, "Since they are your friends, it is only right for you to give them some help, it's nothing, you don't have to do this."

After listening, Bai Kairui just smiled twice, turned around and went to the car to get some instant noodles and a large bucket of purified water.

Han Jiaojiao saw it and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it too little?" If there were three or five people, they would finish this amount in one day. Han Jiaojiao wondered if Bai Kairui was embarrassed. She approached him and lowered her voice and said, "Why don't you let my brother get some rice and flour from the space? It's both durable and can be stored for a long time. There are also many canned foods... You don't have to be so polite. We have a lot of food, so it's not a problem to take care of your friends."

Although the food after the end of the world is very precious, Bai Kairui has been on several missions with them, and they can be regarded as a life-and-death friendship. Han Jiaojiao felt that Bai Kairui really didn't need to be too polite for such a small matter.

As a result, Bai Kairui's face became more and more ugly after hearing Han Jiaojiao's words. He forced a smile and said, "...No need. In fact, we are not really friends." He paused and said in a very low and weak voice, "And these are indeed enough. When they go to the base, they can work to get food."

After he finished speaking, he carried the things away.

Han Jiaojiao stood there and watched him. When he walked a distance, there were indeed a few foreigners who came to take things. There were two men and one woman. They seemed to have something to say to Bai Kairui and pushed him into the tent.

Han Jiaojiao no longer cared about him and returned to her tent with the noodles.

"Brother, let's eat noodles."

Han Yi sat on the warming pad, not knowing what he was thinking. When he saw Han Jiaojiao coming in, he smiled and said softly, "Otherwise, don't eat it yet. Wait until those people fall asleep and I'll give you something else to eat."

"No, this is good. Many people want to eat but haven't had any yet..." Han Jiaojiao sat down next to him, took a bite herself, and then picked up some with chopsticks and fed it to Han Yi, "Is it delicious? I put braised eggs and ham in it."

Han Yi before the end of the world would never touch instant noodles, but since it was fed by his sister...

"Yeah, it's delicious."

Han Jiaojiao gave him a sweet smile.

The two of them ate a big bowl of noodles, one bite at a time.

Han Jiaojiao smiled and said, "I'll go wash the dishes." Then she happily got out of the tent.

When she came out, she saw Yan Xiao, Xiao Jian, Lu Changyuan and the other two eating noodles around the fire. Yan Xiao saw Han Jiaojiao and asked her, "Have you seen Kairui?"

Han Jiaojiao was about to answer when she saw Bai Kairui coming back angrily. Bai Kairui was careless about many things, but he was very particular about some details. For example, he came back with an angry face at this moment. When he got closer, he probably felt that his face was not good, so he stood there and took several deep breaths to suppress the anger for a while, then pulled out an ugly smile, slowly walked to the side of everyone and sat down, and ate his own bowl of noodles without saying a word.

He didn't have the habit of venting his anger casually. Even Yan Xiao couldn't help but feel bad for him. He approached carefully and asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Your smile is uglier than crying."

"Nothing, I'm fine." Bai Kairui ate his noodles in silence.

Anyone with eyes could see that he was worried. However, since he didn't want to talk, no one forced him.

Just when everyone thought Bai Kairui would continue to remain silent, perhaps because he couldn't help but talk, or because he couldn't bear it anymore, Bai Kairui suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "They wanted to join us, but I refused!"

Everyone looked up at him, confused.

Bai Kairui frowned, his face full of depression, "They are self-driving enthusiasts like me. We agreed to travel here together, but we didn't expect to encounter aliens... It happened too suddenly, one of them was bitten to death by the alien, and Tom and I fell behind when we escaped. I didn't know what happened. After returning to the hotel, Tom began to become abnormal, and I happened to start to have a fever. The remaining few people knew about the virus infection and left Tom and me... My car and luggage were taken away by them."

Han Jiaojiao was very surprised, thinking, what kind of friend is this? Isn't this an enemy?

Bai Kairui continued, "Not long after they left, Tom turned into an alien and was shot dead by the nearby armed police, and I... was also reported by the owner of the hotel... I was taken to the isolation area in a daze. After my body recovered, I found an opportunity to run out, and then I met you..."

After Bai Kairui said this, he seemed to feel much better, picked up the bowl and continued to eat.

No one spoke, Xiao Jian patted his shoulder very hard.

Han Jiaojiao vaguely saw tears in Bai Kairui's eyes... Maybe it was just the mist from the noodle soup...
