Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 193 Departure
The sun is setting in the west.

Jin Hao carried the newly distributed rations and stepped onto the scorching hot outdoor paving stones in the community.

I walked into the building and climbed all the way to the top floor.

Use the key to open the door.

"Mom, honey, I'm home."

Jin Hao placed the black bag in his hand on the shoe cabinet.

A faint smell of medicine filled the living room.

The walls and windows inside the house were covered with the double happiness symbol that hadn't been removed.

The windows of the living room balcony were wide open, and warm air blew from the balcony through the living room and then through the kitchen.

The room was clean and tidy. The sofa in the living room had been replaced with a bed. An elderly man with a wrinkled face sat on a small stool, fanning the woman lying on the bed with a palm leaf fan. The two were talking quietly.

Hearing the door open, the old man stopped what he was doing and peeked into the entryway.

"Oh my, our young master is back." Jin Yu put down her palm-leaf fan and quickly stepped forward to help carry the bag. She glanced inside and exclaimed, "Wow, there's even a chunk of meat! Your new boss is really generous."

"Not only that, there's also a small bag of salt." Jin Hao changed his shoes and walked to the bed in the living room. He sat on the edge of the bed and held his wife's hand on the hospital bed.

On the hospital bed, his wife's lips were pale and her face was weak.

She tilted her head to look at her husband, a sweet smile spreading across her face. "Honey, you've worked so hard."

Jin Hao's face hardened, and he said reproachfully, "If you think I'm suffering, then hurry up and get better."

"Hehe." The woman chuckled, took Jin Hao's hand, placed it next to her cheek, closed her eyes, and gently rubbed it.

Looking at his silly wife, Jin Hao felt a lump in his throat and gently touched her forehead with his other hand.

My wife contracted this disease sometime in the last century. By the time it was discovered, it had already progressed to a certain stage. We went to see a doctor, who diagnosed it as possibly being some kind of fungal arthritis, but couldn't determine which fungus it was.

I underwent treatment, but unfortunately, my condition worsened.

All they can do is wash and air out their bedding and clothes frequently, keep them dry and well-ventilated, clean and disinfect them regularly, eat more nutritious food to boost their immunity, and keep their joints warm to prevent them from getting cold.

"Don't worry, it'll be alright. I heard today that there's a card that can heal internal injuries, even the infectious diseases like the one we had before. Your little ailment will definitely be fine too." Jin Hao's eyes were gentle, a tenderness that seemed completely out of place with his two-meter height.

In the kitchen, Jin Yu glanced back at the living room and muttered, "That brat, he's forgotten his mother now that he has a wife."

"Let's have boiled pork belly tonight!" Jin Yu shouted.

Jin Hao smiled and said, "Okay."

At the dinner table, Jin Hao held his wife in his arms, held the bowl, and fed her.

Jin Yu asked casually, "Didn't you say you were going to be a blacksmith's apprentice? Why were you assigned to the hunting team?"

"The blacksmith apprenticeship area is full," Jin Hao shook his head.

Jin Yu frowned. "The hunting team is too dangerous. If anything happens to you, I, an old man, can't support two people. Why don't you go and talk to the leaders and ask them to arrange for you to be transferred to logistics and find a safe position?"

Jin Hao paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mom, it's okay. The hunting team is quite safe. Chairman Qin is different from the others. He didn't rush to put us on the front lines to hunt. Instead, he had us train in a large training ground every day."

"What's the use of just a few training moves? It's just fooling you young people," Jin Yu muttered. "It's actually quite useful, Mom. Don't always think the worst of people. I know whether others are good or bad," Jin Hao said, feeling that his progress in using the spear had been rapid these past two days.

"Whatever you want. You're all grown up now and have your own ideas." Jin Yu added a piece of pork belly to her plate.

Jin Hao lowered his eyes as he recalled the information he had gathered. He had heard that a family member of a core member of the Qin Alliance had contracted a serious infectious disease, and it was Chairman Qin who personally helped obtain a treatment card, which cured the illness.

Actually, he lied to his mother. He had already been assigned to the sword workshop, where the blacksmith touched his arm and said he was a good candidate for blacksmithing.

But he still asked Master Li to get him into the hunting team, because he asked Master Li if working with swords could earn him the chairman's favor.

Master Li shook his head, saying that only on the front lines could he have a better chance.

So he asked Master Li for help to transfer him to the hunting team. Only in the hunting team would he have more opportunities to perform and be more likely to gain the chairman's appreciation.

After finishing his meal, Jin Hao stood up. "Mom, the hunting team can continue their extra training at the training ground for free tonight. I'm going there to practice."

Jin Yu looked up at her son and said, "Go on, be careful."

After her son left, listening to the fading footsteps, Jin Yu hurriedly got up and went to the balcony, watching his back as he walked out of the apartment building and headed towards Building 8. In fact, she had already found out yesterday that Jin Hao had volunteered to join the hunting team.

She's his mother, so how could she not care about him?

"Our target this time is the oasis thirty-six kilometers to the east!"

On the training ground, Qin Ziwen stood on the arena, looking down at the five rows of square formations below, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.

After recruiting new personnel, he began training these young and strong men, believing that more sweat off the field would result in less bloodshed on the battlefield.

Fortunately, the training was quite efficient, even though these young men had never received military training before.

However, after more than a month of training in the wild, they have basically shed their original naivety.

It possesses a wildness unique to the wilderness.

Compared to when they first transmigrated, they are now more willing to face wild beasts and can execute orders effectively under normal circumstances.

This is a significant improvement.

He didn't expect that in just over a month, plus these few days of training, they could be trained into an elite force that was unafraid of death.

As long as they can follow orders, that's fine.

"The main purpose of this trip to the oasis is to obtain water resources! And at the same time, to complete the Hunting Ladder mission!"

"I believe you have all heard that if we fail to complete the mission, we will be left here forever. Although continuing to travel through time may not guarantee our return to our original world, if we stay here, we can see the end of our lives at a glance. So it's not just me; you are all fighting for yourselves."

"I already told you about the guild yesterday. Based on your performance during this expedition, I will select up to five people from among you to become new members of the guild," Qin Ziwen said to the crowd below.

Upon hearing these words, many people below showed excitement in their eyes.

Joining the guild will undoubtedly make you a new core member of the Qin Alliance, as there are only twenty spots available.

Qin Ziwen continued, "Of course, I said at most, maybe not even one person. It depends on your performance. All I want are elites!"

　I had an upset stomach this afternoon and I'm feeling a bit unwell.
