Gu Chengyuan and the soldiers enjoyed a hot meal in the canteen.
Due to the relatively small number of survivors, there was no division of labor; this meal was prepared by all the remaining survivors together.
Those who could cook handled the pots and ladles, while those who couldn't washed vegetables and prepared ingredients. Although the dishes weren't lavish, they worked well together.
The meal consisted of simple home-cooked dishes like sour shredded potatoes and stir-fried beef with green peppers, but the taste was quite good, leaving the soldiers with greasy lips.
Of course, there were unexpected situations, such as Cai Anxin and his team not anticipating the sudden increase in people.
However, the previous survivors welcomed the newcomers, as people tend to band together in times of danger.
Moreover, the addition of an entire squad of soldiers greatly enhanced their sense of security.
After the meal, Gu Chengyuan entrusted Cai Anxin with the task of settling the survivors, freeing himself from these trivial matters.
Gu Chengyuan's idea was to focus on military affairs and outsource daily life tasks to conserve his energy.
In the apocalyptic environment, there was no such thing as a power struggle; as long as he held military power, authority was at his fingertips.
Upon returning, he revised the watch list in his room, removing Cai Anxin and the other two, and adding the new squad.
Thus, the defense work was completely taken over by his troops, making it more professional and easier to manage.
After freshening up, Gu Chengyuan lay on his bed, pondering development plans, and thinking of his parents and brother, before drifting off to sleep.
The next morning, when he got up, he smelled the aroma of buns and millet porridge in the hallway.
At first, he thought it was an illusion until Pu Guangqiang entered with a tray.
"Commander, time to get up for breakfast!"
"President Cai just brought breakfast, big meat buns with cabbage and pork filling, and beef filling. I got you two of each, a bowl of millet porridge, and a box of milk!" This chapter was taken from novelping.com without permission.
Hearing this, Gu Chengyuan's appetite was piqued, and he casually asked, "Did they make these?"
"Yes, among the survivors rescued yesterday, two are chefs. After dinner, they approached President Cai to take over the canteen."
"Not bad, it seems some people have the right mindset!"
"Let the soldiers start eating; we'll set off in half an hour!"
"Understood!"
Half an hour later, Gu Chengyuan and his team boarded the vehicle and returned to the settlement area.
The survivors, who had been eagerly waiting in their rooms, were delighted to see the familiar armored vehicle arrive again, welcoming them warmly.
The two squads continued with the combat team formations from the previous day and quickly engaged in battle.
This time, Gu Chengyuan didn't join them. After the afternoon's cleanup yesterday, Squad 2 had gained enough experience and no longer needed his hands-on guidance.
Whether he was there or not made no difference, so he preferred to rest and take it easy, enjoying the air conditioning in the armored vehicle.
However, even while lying down, Gu Chengyuan didn't completely ignore the two squads. The walkie-talkie occasionally reported the progress of the cleanup.
Through these reports, Gu Chengyuan could clearly feel that Squad 2 had made significant progress compared to yesterday, with their cleanup speed almost matching that of Squad 1.
But it was understandable; opening cans with a gun wasn't highly technical. Once the steps were laid out, it was like following a formula in solving problems.
By around 1 PM, when Cai Anxin brought lunch, the two squads had cleared out Building 5.
At this point, Gu Chengyuan's credits had reached 1314, and he estimated that by the afternoon, he could gather enough for a third squad. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
Cai Anxin organized the survivors to remove the back seats of the SUV from yesterday, converting it into a food delivery vehicle. The increased capacity made lunch much more plentiful.
The meal included potato stew with beef, dry-fried green beans, seaweed pork rib soup, rice, and steamed buns, along with ten boxes of mineral water and five boxes of Red Bull.
The support was more than adequate, making Gu Chengyuan increasingly satisfied with Cai Anxin.

Originally, the plan was to scavenge for some food in the building to fill their stomachs, but unexpectedly, lunch was proactively delivered.
After eating to their fill, Cai Anxin and his team collected the tableware, and the six combat teams resumed their cleanup.
By 4 PM, Gu Chengyuan had exchanged for the third squad.
Expecting another ten people, Gu Chengyuan was surprised when the vehicle door opened to reveal eleven people and a military dog.
Why call it a "dog"? Because if Gu Chengyuan hadn't repeatedly checked the information on this creature through the system, he might have mistaken it for some large beast.
This military dog's appearance and color closely resembled a Chinese Wolfdog, but its size was vastly different, as robust as a small calf, with its head almost reaching Gu Chengyuan's chin when standing.
It was armed to the teeth, wearing a stab-proof vest and an exoskeleton-like auxiliary device, greatly enhancing its resistance to blows and providing strength augmentation.
Its four paws were equipped with dark steel claws, glinting faintly in the sunlight.
Sitting in the lineup, it held its head high, chest out, with a spirited look in its eyes, resembling not a military dog, but a proud lion.
However, if a grassland lion encountered this fully armed, steel-clawed military dog, it might not win.
Though the military dog remained seated in the lineup out of discipline, its eyes were full of affection and a desire to approach Gu Chengyuan.
Additionally, there was a signaler, who, along with Gu Chengyuan, formed the command group. With three infantry squads, they constituted a complete infantry platoon!
