Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 711: Can’t Explain to Tang Zelin

When she realized this transfer was definitely not simple, she left nothing to chance in ensuring the entire family passed the inspection flawlessly.

No matter what happened in the future, they had to get through this particular challenge.

She handed the cup to the children, "Drink some hot water, warm yourselves up."

She wasn’t quite sure why the well water turned warm after she forcefully extracted it from "space," a mystery she planned to investigate later.

The three children didn’t think too much into it and each drank a few sips.

If it worked once, it could work twice.

The Luo Family up ahead were being inspected; it was too late to give them water.

However, the elderly couple from the Ge Family standing in front of them still had time.

"Mr. Ge, you and your spouse should drink some warm water; it’s a bit cold today."

Fu Shiyin turned around, smiling gratefully at her and handed the cup to her partner.

Ge Tingzhi said, "You drink first."

"No, you first."

"Please, you go ahead."

The couple deferred to each other back and forth, and Su Shu watching nearby felt a warmth in her eyes.

In the winter, amidst such conditions, with the uncertainty of the future and the cold scrutiny surrounding them, it was easy to develop a sense of pessimistic emotion akin to impending loss and separation.

She could tell the Ge couple were a bit downhearted.

Perhaps they feared they might be eliminated due to their old age or, maybe, at such an age, they felt exhausted by the relentless turmoil.

After everyone had finished their hot water, Su Shu put the cups away.

It was the Ge Family’s turn now.

The Luo Family had successfully passed the inspection, thankfully.

Luo Gang held his wife, Li Xiaoxia, and waited with their children on the side.

In truth, no one knew where each family would end up, so cherishing the moments they could still be together became even more precious.

Perhaps because they had just had some hot water in the cold weather, making their stomachs more comfortable, the Ge couple appeared less tense.

Qian Li led his team members in inspecting each one individually.

At any moment, someone could be found to be disqualified.

And he wouldn’t offer any explanation at this time.

He only shared one thing with Tang Zelin, that none of the individuals screened were wrongfully accused; they would remain there until the transfer process was complete, by which time he would naturally find out why they did not qualify.

To this, Tang Zelin simply snorted indifferently.

"I’m just a soldier, following orders is all that’s necessary."

If they were being mysterious, he felt no need to inquire further. He would do everything within his duty; as for what was beyond his scope, his understanding was limited.

Qian Li heaved a deep internal sigh.

He had already gone to the extent of inviting influential leaders to speak to Tang Zelin.

Yet, the cooperation between the two remained low.

Without knowing the reasons, Tang Zelin had to watch, powerlessly, as so many people in his jurisdiction were left to fend for themselves.

He understood Tang Zelin’s discomfort.

But he too had his responsibilities.

And now he couldn’t explain them to him.

Once Tang Zelin became informed, he thought all the subsequent tasks for their scientific expedition would no longer be under their control.

Soldiers handled potential dangers differently compared to how scientists approached risks.

And these small differences could cost him the research opportunity.

The Ge couple also successfully passed.

It was Su Shu’s family’s turn.

To prevent the children from being frightened, Su Shu went first for the test.
