Chapter 343 Returning Home
Hearing Nikita's words, Winnie, unusually, did not express her agreement.
Instead, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, then grabbed Nikita's arm and said...
"Nikki, although you are very efficient and ruthless in dealing with zombies and killing people, it doesn't mean you have a tough personality."
"Compared to your speed in taking action, your personality is far too cowardly. If I were you, I wouldn't just wait for the boss to come back and solve everything like you do!"
"You're the First Lady, my goodness! In other words, your position is practically the same as the First Lady's. You should have a lot of power, and you can use that power to do a lot of things!"
"You could clearly help the boss solve so many more problems, but you just don't like getting involved in camp affairs. It's such a waste, you know? It's an absolute waste!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Winnie squeezed Nikita's little hand with a look of exasperation.
After a moment of surprise, Nikita couldn't help but rub her stomach and laugh.
"I didn't expect you to be such a careerist, Winnie. But it's not that I don't want to do anything, I just—"
I just don't have the energy for it.
At this point, Nikita couldn't help but touch her tummy.
Her belly was starting to swell a little, but there was no sign of pregnancy yet; she just looked a bit heavier.
Moreover, it wasn't just her stomach that got fat; her arms and other areas also had a thin layer of fat.
Becoming a mother for the first time left Nikita overwhelmed with the experience; she wanted nothing more than to stroke her belly and giggle all day, not wanting to think about anything else.
The man built this safe camp, not so that she would spend her time and energy there with him and their child.
Before facing a life-or-death crisis at the camp, Nikita felt that all she needed to do was enjoy life and take care of herself and the baby in her belly.
Seeing Nikita rubbing her stomach, Winnie immediately understood what Nikita was thinking.
She said that even before she got pregnant, Nikita didn't make many decisions, but she still acted like the mistress of the house. Even if she didn't speak up often, she would at least care about the camp's affairs and give her opinion at crucial moments.
But now, Nikita is completely controlled by her child, to the point that she not only no longer participates in various meetings, but she is even too lazy to go out on fieldwork. She spends her days doing odd jobs around the estate or walking the dog to pass the time.
Thinking about this, Winnie became even more envious.
Nikita really does have everything she wants, ugh, I'm so jealous!
So Winnie couldn't help but stick her tongue out at Nikita.
Nikita, with a motherly expression on her youthful face, gently rubbed Winnie's head.
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the manor, in the room of Old Feng's family.
Upon receiving the message on the walkie-talkie, Lao Feng instinctively jumped out of bed and quickly began to dress.
On the bed, Xiao Cao was also woken up by the noise. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and instinctively complained.
"Weren't you on guard duty from zero to two last night? Why did you get up so early? You're only getting up now—"
Xiao Cao raised his wrist to look at his watch, then couldn't help but be surprised, and then said to Lao Feng more loudly.
"What the heck? It's only 6:30, I thought it was at least 7:30. Why are you up so early?"
"It's nothing, honey. Nikita and Winnie have left the manor. I'm not at ease unless I see them for myself."
""
Old Feng answered Xiao Cao and then continued putting on his clothes.
On the bed, after receiving the answer, Xiao Cao remained silent for a moment before slowly responding to Lao Feng.
"Oh, is that so? This is really... haha, I didn't see you taking care of me like this even when I was pregnant!"
"Stop it, honey. Nikita is different. The boss personally handed them over to me before he left. If anything happens to them, even if the boss doesn't blame me, I won't be able to stay in this camp!"
Old Feng answered quickly, then put on his pants and rushed to the bathroom to wash his face.
After putting his shirt back on, Lao Feng patted his face to shake off the last bit of fatigue, then strode out of the room.
Upon arriving at the sentry post on the west side of the manor, Lao Feng casually called over an office worker to accompany him to the pasture to stand guard.
While it was called a vigilance, it wasn't that rigid. Old Feng didn't want Nikita and Winnie to misunderstand his protection as surveillance or something like that.
So, after he figured out where Nikita and the other person were, he took the office staff to the cowshed and milked the cows with Sariel, who was used to getting up early.
Although there are more people in the camp, more milk is needed every day.
But Sariel never used the farm’s large milking machines.
As the number of people increased, Sariel's milking speed also increased.
Most importantly, he not only became a highly skilled milkman, but also lost a full forty pounds!
All right----
Forty pounds placed on Sariel, who weighs nearly five hundred and forty pounds, doesn't show any change at all, but Sariel herself is well aware of the changes in herself, and that's enough.
He believes he will lose weight sooner or later, just as his cheerfulness has inspired many others.
When Lao Feng came to his side to help him milk the cow, he couldn't help but chat with Sariel. After all, they were members of the elder faction. Even though Sariel didn't have a high profile and didn't have any special rights, they were still among the people with the best relationship in the camp.
While milking, Old Feng silently kept an eye on Nikita and Winnie's situation.
Nearly 175 kilometers away, on a farm near Brownwood.
Gavin also woke up from his sleep.
Last night, he dreamed of Nikita again, but this time it wasn't the extremely bloody Nikita, but rather a Nikita living happily with him and their child.
Although Gavin experienced brief, even severe, anxiety after learning he was pregnant.
But no matter what, Gavin is a resolute person at heart. He eventually overcame that anxiety and returned to normal.
He got up from the farmer's bedroom, didn't take a shower, got dressed and left the house.
When he arrived at the farm, to his surprise, all the guys who usually got up late were up today, which was unusual for them.
Eugene, who was lying on the farm terrace with a sniper rifle in his arms, greeted Gavin while smoking a cigarette.
Edward and Steve stood in front of the stew pot, cooking a large amount of potato-infused stew.
Martin and Jonathan have picked up six or seven more dogs in the past few days and are now sitting next to their car, feeding and training them.
When the guys went to New Mexico, they traveled very light, with no extra space to put any animals in. But when they came back, the convoy was much bigger and there was more space. So when Jonathan encountered some wild dogs, he immediately went back to his old ways and drove an Iveco van with Martin, showing off his new pack of dogs.
Besides them, even Adriana, who usually loves to sleep in, had already washed her hair.
Besides washing her hair, Adriana even put on a face mask and is now lying on the roof of the RV with the mask on, basking in the sun that hasn't fully risen yet.
When Gavin came out, the men who were busy with their own things briefly gathered together and greeted him.
Seeing how these lazy field workers were unusually up early, Gavin chuckled and lit a cigarette, puffing away.
Haha, these lazybones are homesick too!
Of course, only Gavin's field agents got up early enough.
As for the fraternity members—
They might have woken up, but even if they did, no one would suddenly leave the tent anytime soon.
Since the assassination attempt on Gavin a week ago, even though Gavin took the initiative to mend the relationship with the new members, the fraternity remains wary of Gavin and his group.
As for Gavin's camp—
That makes me even more worried.
After all, they had personally witnessed Gavin's men skin Kyle alive.
Therefore, to fully integrate these guys into the team, they must return to the farm. Only the farm environment, with its larger support staff, can effectively alleviate the psychological pressure on the newcomers.
As for the field staff led by Gavin...
As their experience grew, these field team members, even if they weren't exactly nasty, were certainly arrogant and domineering. Their appearance was not enough to put newcomers at ease.
Of course, the field staff also couldn't let their guard down around the newcomers.
Even now, at least half of the field crew are huddled at various machine gun posts, secretly keeping a close eye on the new recruits' movements.
After checking the status of the field crew, Gavin nodded in satisfaction and then went to the stew pot.
He added firewood to the stew pot as he gave Edward instructions.
"Edward, have some men wake up the whole crew. Breakfast looks like it'll be ready soon."
"Let's eat early today, and then set off immediately, trying to get back to camp before lunch!"
"Yesterday, Lao Feng from the family led a team to conduct a brief inspection of the zombie situation around Lake Richard. At least within their reconnaissance range, we won't encounter any more zombies."
"We only need to drive another 120 kilometers or so to reach the relatively safe areas around our home."
"Let's all hurry up and go home early so we can all get some rest!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gavin patted Edward's arm, and Edward nodded and left, leading his men to wake everyone up in a menacing manner.
And so, at just around 7:20, the convoy, having packed its things, set off completely.
The convoy, now consisting of over thirty vehicles, a procession comparable to a wedding car procession, swept through the streets and headed towards Gavin Farm.
After wandering around for ten days, everyone, including Gavin, was eager to go home!
As for the newlyweds' attitude?
Sorry, Gavin and his field team aren't in the mood to care about their attitude!
Until the sun rose, until the men got closer and closer to the manor.
At 11:20 a.m., Gavin finally turned on the walkie-talkie.
"Guys, this is Gavin. I'm near Fairfield and should be home in half an hour at the latest!"
The moment the message came through, the field crew who had been trekking with Gavin for ten days were the first to let out a wailing cry over the walkie-talkie.
As the guys cheered, just a few seconds later, the sound of celebration from the guys at Gavin Manor came through the walkie-talkie!
For a moment, laughter and shouts of longing filled the air, and these sounds were also transmitted through walkie-talkies to one vehicle after another in the convoy.
Inside one of the buses, three or five people were gathered in the back seats, stunned as they listened to the walkie-talkie in their hands.
Until the cheers finally stopped coming from the walkie-talkie.
Among these three or five people, a man with medium-length brown hair couldn't help but shake his head.
"Tsk tsk~"
He clipped the walkie-talkie to his waist and spoke to the men around him, whose expressions varied.
"Did you hear that? Gavin's camp is really lively. Although I haven't seen them in person yet, it's hard to fake their excitement."
"After all, this isn't the end of the world anymore, God, there aren't that many actors hiding in the crowd leading the riots now."
"In particular, I heard many women's voices on the walkie-talkie, and those voices were all very strong, which shows that the women at Camp Gavin are doing quite well."
"Believe me, in this damn apocalypse, any camp that can keep women alive and well, no matter how bad the atmosphere is, can't be too bad!"
"Of course, I'm not mocking the two women in our group, but you should all know that in the apocalypse, women are indeed a resource. This isn't my decision, but rather the prevailing atmosphere in many other camps during the apocalypse!"
At this point, the man with medium-length hair chuckled softly to the two women to his left.
After a brief silence, one of the women gave the middle finger to the man with medium-length hair, while the other muttered a curse at him.
"Justin, please don't bring up those chilling realities for us women who already know how terrible the apocalypse is, okay?"
"We were finally starting to forget some damn things, and you're still repeating them here?"
"So what exactly do you want? Are you unwilling to join Gavin's camp?"
"Do you also want to turn your camp into the kind where you can openly treat women as toys or even food?"
While questioning Justin, the woman standing close to him reached out and pinched the soft flesh around Justin's waist hard.
Justin was already used to this. He endured the brief pain without changing his expression, then slapped the woman's hand away and explained.
"I didn't mean that at all. I just wanted to say that my decision was right, and we should move to Camp Gavin!"
"If I hadn't decided to relocate, you wouldn't have the opportunity to live the life you have now."
"So, you should all thank me!"
"Of course, we also have to thank our luck, because we actually ran into Gavin's team on the way."
"This is much safer than going to Camp Gavin ourselves!"
