Chapter 102 Leaving the Base

Fu Xiaxia and Fang Qingxun had already separated when they heard the noise. Upon hearing what the doctor said, Fu Xiaxia's face immediately turned red, and she awkwardly picked up the lunchbox next to her and said...

"I'll go wash the dishes."

Then, without daring to look at everyone's expressions, she blushed and went out.

The doctor came forward to examine the wound, said it was healing well and had not been infected, and then left.

Shi Yuan stepped forward and patted Fang Qingxun on the shoulder.

"What's wrong? You seem pretty pleased with yourself."

"That's right, I already have a boyfriend."

Fang Qingxun said smugly.

"You're still relying on us, otherwise you probably would never have figured it out."

Shi Yuan couldn't stand Fang Qingxun's smug look and said something.

"Hmph, I think you're just jealous that I have a boyfriend."

Fang Qingxun looked at Shi Yuan and said, revealing his shortcomings.

"you……"

"Ouch, it hurts so much."

Before Shi Yuan could say anything more, Fang Qingxun saw Fu Xiaxia return and pretended to be in pain, calling out.

When Fu Xiaxia heard Fang Qingxun cry out in pain, she rushed over to check on him and then said anxiously.

"What's wrong? Did you aggravate your wound? Should I go call the doctor?"

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore, I just need to rest for a bit."

Fang Qingxun replied.

"Are you really alright?"

Fu Xiaxia was still a little worried.

"It's really nothing, look, you're not bleeding again."

Fu Xiaxia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Fang Qingxun was really alright.

When Fu Xiaxia wasn't paying attention, Fang Qingxun gave Shi Yuan and Shi Lin a provocative smile.

Shi Lin and Shi Yuan.

I don't know why my fists feel itchy.

Jiang Li sighed, realizing that he had truly returned to the familiar Fang Qingxun.

In the following days, Fang Qingxun recovered quite well. Gu Jin and the others took turns taking care of him at the hospital. Jiang Li cooked food for Fang Qingxun at home and had them take it over. Sometimes she would also go to the hospital to visit Fang Qingxun.

However, every time Shi Lin went to take care of him, Fang Qingxun would always find something to do. Shi Lin didn't want to talk to this childish person, so he simply stopped going to avoid getting annoyed, since Fang Qingxun was almost fully recovered anyway.

Ten days later, Fang Qingxun was discharged from the hospital. After that, he only needed to change his dressings regularly. After returning, Fang Qingxun showed off his affection for his wife every day, which made Jiang Li unable to stand him.

They lived in the underground city for several months, until even Jiang Li felt he couldn't stand it anymore.

With so many people in the dungeon and limited ventilation, it's much stuffier than the base. While it's not so stuffy that you can't breathe, the smell does get quite unpleasant after a while.

Although the base has lights, they are always the same unchanging gray, which is very depressing. When the lights are turned off at the designated time, it is pitch black.

Just as Jiang Li and the others were deciding whether to leave the underground city, Gu Jin brought back a message: the base wanted to send people to other bases to exchange supplies. This time, they were going to the Xinghai Base in S City, and the trip was estimated to be in about half a month.

However, this time the base didn't plan to recruit from outside; they were all government personnel. Gu Jin knew this was largely thanks to his frequent participation in the base's defense upgrades. The more times he went, the more information he could gather.

Jiang Li and his friends had planned to go to City S before, but they never had the chance. However, they had been planning to leave the underground city these past few days, but they didn't know where to go. Now that they heard about City S, they remembered the seafood they had eaten in the cafeteria before. Jiang Li and the others couldn't forget the taste.

The group immediately decided to go to City S as well. They were going to the same place anyway, but they weren't going with the officials. They planned to go on their own, as it would be more inconvenient for them to go with the officials.

However, before leaving, Gu Jin and Shi Lin had to finish the work they had promised Captain Wang to do together in the base defense. They had already completed half of it and couldn't give up halfway, so the time was postponed for a while.

Finally, a month later, the group left the underground city. During this month, Jiang Li and the others were not idle. They prepared a lot of things, since it was pitch black outside and they could not see anything.

Jiang Li also went to see Captain Wang. She had a small apartment on the base, and she wanted to rent it to He Shan and the others after the base moved back up. She didn't know when they would be back, and even if they were, she wouldn't live there, so leaving it there would be a waste.

I still remember the shocked expression on Captain Wang's face when he asked him how many points it would take to rent a car.

"What? 10 points a month? Are you sure?"

"Okay, it's just 10 points. If they don't want to rent it, then Captain Wang, please leave it vacant for me."

"Why don't you just give them the accommodation for free?"

Captain Wang found it strange that 10 points a month could be used to stay in a small apartment, which was practically the same as living there for free.

"Free accommodation is a favor, 10 points is a transaction."

Jiang Li explained to Captain Wang.

Captain Wang was at a loss after hearing this. Although he felt the pinch, it was Jiang Li's own house. Jiang Li himself didn't care, so why was he worried? Captain Wang then asked a question that he was more concerned about.

"Are you really planning to leave the base? When will you be back?"

"Yeah, I'm planning to go out and have a look around, but I'm not sure when I'll be back."

Jiang Li replied to Captain Wang that there were too many unexpected events on the road, and she couldn't guarantee anything.

Captain Wang paused for a moment, then said nothing more. He didn't need to worry about them.

"Then remember to let me know when you leave, and I'll come to see you off."

"good."

The two chatted for a while before saying goodbye.

They also encountered He Shan and her son in the underground city, but Jiang Li rarely went out to meet them.

Jiang Li and his group left casually, choosing a route at random without telling anyone. They set off after the underground city experienced a power outage.

Upon arriving at the entrance to the dungeon, the group handed the exit permit to the gatekeeper. Since the group that sneaked out had released wild beasts, entry and exit to the dungeon had become much stricter.

After the gatekeeper saw that there were no problems, he let the group out. The next day, when Captain Wang found out, he sighed. He had actually had a feeling they would leave without saying goodbye.

When Jiang Li and his group came out that day, they did not leave the base immediately, but returned to their villa and stayed overnight before leaving. Although there is no distinction between day and night now, they have always rested according to the schedule.

The wild animals on the base have been mostly dealt with, but the repair of the perimeter wall is progressing slowly. To make it sturdy, the materials used need to be of high quality, otherwise there will still be security issues, but for now, all the materials have to be sourced from outside.

Moreover, it's currently polar night, and it's easier to manage in the underground city, so the move hasn't been made here yet.

The next morning, after resting, the group set off. When they arrived outside the base, the wild animals were gone, probably because no one had been around and they had gone to hunt elsewhere.

After confirming there was no danger, Jiang Li took out the car. Everyone was in one car, which made it easier to take care of each other during the polar night.

The car had been modified by Gu Jin and his friends. Headlights were installed on the body and roof, which could illuminate a long distance when turned on, so they wouldn't have to worry about suddenly hitting something while driving. Cameras were also installed around the car, so they could know clearly if there was any movement without getting out of the car.
