Chapter 44 -44: The Trouble with Having Too Much Stuff
“Mianmian, what if nobody really needs this thing?”
“Uh, this cup looks nice, even though it’s second-hand.
If the person isn’t a clean freak, they could just wash it and use it.”
Kaiyang had just come out and heard the two talking, thoughtlessly interjecting.
“We’re almost starving to death, who would want your cup? Hurry up and look for supplies!”
Ye Mianmian also realized and the excitement she had just felt vanished.
“Kaiyang does have a point, the important thing now are the supplies, if you have something you particularly like, you can keep some for yourself…”
“Sister Yuan, I understand, sorry, I was wrong earlier.”
The girl didn’t get upset but immediately understood and her attitude was very good.
She knew that, being with everyone, if she didn’t contribute to the team, why should she get to share the supplies equally with others?
“We’ve about finished up here, let’s go and move stuff together.”
“Let’s go!”
There wasn’t much left; after about two trips, there was nothing else left.
“With all this stuff, Brother Song, we’ve struck it big this time…”
Seeing the hall packed full of supplies, Kaiyang showed his signature smile, with a flash of bright white teeth, radiantly.
“Yeah, with all this stuff, it will last us a while.”
Jhiang Yuan was also happy, but then became worried, which Song Yi noticed.
“What’s the matter?”
“I’m thinking about how to get all this stuff back. The kayak probably won’t make it in one go. If we add the one from last time, it might just be able to hold everything.
But with so much stuff, it’s inevitable that others will be envious, especially after you saw that person during the day.
People are already getting killed over food, and I’m worried…”
The previously good atmosphere was ruined, and everyone felt an uneasy concern, because Jhiang Yuan was speaking the truth.
It was a reality, and one they were about to face.
Plans were made, worries were evident on their faces.
“Yeah, with so much stuff, conflicts might arise, let alone in the current situation.
Brother Song, what should we do?”
Now, Kaiyang was treating Song Yi as the leader, seeking his opinion on everything.
“Talking about it won’t help, first we should sort things out, organize the supplies, get rid of the unnecessary and useless to reduce volume!”
“Yeah, that’s all we can do for now, but it’s like a drop in the bucket. We still need to think ahead about what to do.”
The goods, even if they were repacked, wouldn’t change much.
And for those in boxes, the boxes must be kept, as they would be easier to manage.
It meant removing the packaging bags, desiccants, some goods had foam, all these items were to be removed.
Then fill any gaps inside the boxes, that’s all they could do.
“What if we go back at night? Later at night, when most people are sleeping, it might be better.”
Ye Mianmian’s suggestion was agreed upon by everyone.
However, this was not a permanent solution.
Visibility was lower at night, and their distance was quite far, which was a problem too.
“This way, let’s separate the supplies first, then pack them up, each person organizes their own.
Lastly, mark them with a marker pen, that way, it’ll be easier when we get back to the residential area.”
Kaiyang nodded, agreeing that she was right.
Brother Song also concurred: “Listen to Jhiang Yuan, let’s separate them first, then organize, and pull them back together.”
“Let’s wait a little longer before heading here; I remember there’s an unfinished building. It’s quite dangerous, so usually, no one is around.”
“This way, the distance back will be a bit shorter, and it will be safer to get to the residential complex.”
Jhiang Yuan opened the map, pointing here and there, analyzing everything clearly.
“Alright, that’s the plan. Let’s eat first and then divide the supplies.”
Ye Mianmian felt conflicted again; she couldn’t help it, the shadow left by that person before was too deep.
“What if someone comes to rob us again? Last time we got back so late and still ran into people.”
“We must keep a tight hold on our stuff. If we encounter danger this time, we’ll have to use special measures.”
Song Yi’s eyes were cold, and he was not joking.
He swept his gaze across the three people in front of him, issuing a stern command.
“This is a matter of life and death; we are a team. If someone tries to rob us of our supplies, they are essentially trying to take our lives!”
Zhang Kaiyang, a bit agitated, looked at Song Yi, “Brother Song, if I accidentally hurt someone badly this time, would that count as self-defense?”
“Yes, so don’t hesitate, and don’t hold back your hand.
If roles were reversed, they wouldn’t show us any mercy either, you know?”
Jhiang Yuan understood what Song Yi meant and naturally agreed with him.
“Alright, I have no problem. How about you, Mianmian?”
“I, I can do it too. Don’t worry, I grew up in a village since I was young. Though skinny, I’m quite strong…”
“Haha, I knew it. Such a pretty girl like you, and yet not so delicate.”
Jhiang Yuan had always wondered about this, but never had the chance to ask.
“That’s right, I only have a grandmother, and if I don’t want to be bullied, I must stand up for myself. Trust me, I can do it!”
The atmosphere relaxed, and Zhang Kaiyang started joking, “That guy this morning really scared you though.”
“That was just an accident. Trust me, I’m prepared now!”
She was very determined. Song Yi nodded without saying anything.
Everyone wanted to prove that they were useful to the team.
Ye Mianmian, who was at a visible disadvantage, was also eager to let everyone know that she truly could handle it.
They pulled out quite a few self-heating hotpots and self-heating rice meals from the snacks, which could be considered a luxurious feast.
Additionally, Zhang Kaiyang found quite a few spicy strips.
Jhiang Yuan found some beef jerky and dried tofu, and Ye Mianmian brought out milk tea packets; she had brought a thermos and made drinks for everyone.
“Wow, so sweet…”
Zhang Kaiyang squinted his eyes. He used to dislike milk tea, but now he just felt sweetness in his heart, a blissful feeling.
“Brother Song, have a sip too…”
She used a disposable cup, very clean.
“No need, I don’t like sweet things…”
Saying this, he picked up a bottle of water from beside him.
Seeing the girl look a bit embarrassed and hurt, Jhiang Yuan quickly spoke up, “It’s really tasty, if he doesn’t want it, give it to me, Mianmian, I want more.”
“Alright, here you go, Sister Yuan…”
After this incident, Ye Mianmian sat next to Jhiang Yuan, no longer paying much attention to Song Yi.
“Come and eat, it smells so good…”

Zhang Kaiyang happily called everyone to eat, and Ye Mianmian also helped to tidy up, serving everyone at an office desk where they all heartily enjoyed the meal.
“Ever since the weather turned weird, it’s been a long time since I’ve had such tasty food. It’s been tough!
But if we have time later, let’s go explore other floors. I really love the thrill of unboxing like this!”
