Chapter 568 Joy

Although there are various survivors wearing strange costumes on Lidai Island, most of them keep to themselves and live their own lives peacefully.

It’s okay to start a conflict if you don’t like someone, but not on Lidai Island. If you leave here, your life and death are at your own risk.

This is the only peaceful place where people can exchange and purchase supplies without worrying about their safety. No one wants to be blacklisted by the boss behind the scenes.

All the survivors can clearly tell that Lidai Island is Lidai Island and the outside world is the outside world. They will not naively think that everyone is like this in real life just because civilization has been restored on Lidai Island.

If you want to achieve this, you also need a strong organization to build a base that can reconstruct civilization, such as the Chuntai base.

The tall girl used her strong attitude to force away those who were secretly eager to try, until she saw Xia Yan sitting on the beach. She was stunned for a moment and nodded to her from a distance as a greeting.

Xia Yan felt somewhat familiar.

The tall girl led the team into the supermarket and hurried out just five minutes later. She looked at the place where she had just seen Xia Yan. Seeing that she was still there, she ran over quickly.

Hearing the movement behind him, Xia Yan turned around, and when she was close, he asked, "Is there something wrong?"

The tall girl looked around and saw that no one was looking at her. She took off her mask, revealing a pale face with rapid breathing.

"It's me."

Xia Yan finally recognized her and said in surprise: "Su Mei?! I haven't seen you for a long time. If I didn't know you were renewing your rent, I would have thought you..."

Su Mei sat down, smiled at the words, and said in a cheerful voice, "I rarely go to the main island. I'm always running around on weekdays. The occasional trip to the supermarket to buy supplies is usually in the middle of the night. It's normal that we don't meet."

Xia Yan looked at her skin, which was much whiter than before, and asked curiously: "When did you go out? Didn't you meet Chu Wanfu? And you are much whiter."

Su Mei took off her gloves and put the back of her hand close to Xia Yan's hand. In the sunlight, her hand appeared abnormally white, as if it had been soaked for a long time and had no blood color.

"As expected, my skin will turn pale if I don't see the sun," she said with a wry smile. "But I'm afraid of calcium deficiency. My bones will become brittle and break easily."

Xia Yan comforted him, "It's okay. Just let it get some sun for an hour or two every day and there won't be any such problems."

"I rarely see the sun." Su Mei looked at her seriously, "How about you buy some calcium tablets from the supermarket?"

"It's not much, you know. I don't sell medicine. You can go to the hospital to get it."

Su Mei sighed, supporting her wrists behind her back, and looking back at the hospital's large sign, she said, "I got the news that the hospital is moving back to the Chuntai base. If Boss Xia could sell you medicine—"

Xia Yan interrupted her, "Who did you hear that from, Chu Wanfu? Didn't you just say you had never met him?"

"How is that possible? General Chu is..." Su Mei suddenly stopped here, looked at Xia Yan with complicated eyes, and then moved to the sky.

"Putting everything else aside, I just want to ask why the supermarket only restocks once a day lately. Precious resources are also limited in quantity. If I hadn't come here in the middle of the night and couldn't get them, I wouldn't have wasted my time coming here during the day."

Xia Yan didn't say anything, and Su Mei didn't care, as long as she didn't continue to ask questions.

Su Mei secretly observed her expression, and seeing that she seemed to be lost in thought, she was startled and continued to talk about something else: "It's not just the problem of limited quantity, the delivery time is now random, and it seems that all the facilities on the island are no longer increasing.

"For example, I wanted to rent more storage space, but was told there were no vacancies. This never happened before..."

There are no extra houses, and there is only one commercial street. Why do I always feel that her business ends here and she has no plans to expand?

Xia Yan had a blank expression on her face, appearing mysterious. In fact, this was the first time she knew about this.

I am ashamed that as the owner of the island, I still need to be reminded by the tenants.

She knew that this was a subtle and silent change in the system.

Just as Su Mei was waiting for a response, a voice of "Captain" forced her to turn her head and look away.

"Why are you all out? Have you finished shopping for supplies?"

Xia Yan looked over and saw five or six girls standing behind Su Mei, all of similar height. In the middle stood a little girl with her eyes covered. The strange thing was that her ears were half the size of a normal person's, like a morning glory.

"This girl was rescued from those locals. Do you remember?" Su Mei noticed her gaze and pointed out the girl's identity.

Xia Yan recalled for a moment and suddenly remembered that she was the daughter of the mother who was held hostage by the birdman and risked her life to save her son!

It’s actually this big now.

"I remember that she seemed to have no problem with her eyes at first."

"Well, she's activated her special ability, which is related to her vision. It works better in water. To protect her eyes, we covered them up."

Su Mei spoke with a hint of pride, called the little girl over, and rubbed her head hard twice.

"We can go into the water thanks to her. Don't be fooled by her skinny and weak figure. This little sister is simply the king of the sea. She takes us with her like walking on flat ground!"

Hearing this, Xia Yan looked at her with strange eyes.

Xia Yan hadn't noticed it because she was far away and standing behind someone. It was only now that she saw that there were several layers of things similar to fish gills on the girl's lower jaw.

But the girl is breathing through her nose now.

His skin, bathed in sunlight, took on a faint, glassy hue, as if covered in the tiniest of scales.

But the girl moved with ease, bending her arms and legs without any problem, and her joints didn't swell, which looked extremely delicate.

"You just said that you can go into the water with her around? Is there a depth limit?" Xia Yan asked.

Su Mei scratched her head, unsure. "I've never measured it before. I really don't know how deep the ocean is. Do you think there's a limit?"

The girl knew the captain was asking her a question. After thinking for a few seconds, she slowly said, "Is it the water pressure? If so, I don't think so."

Su Mei turned to Xia Yan and concluded, "There is no limit. Our girl is amazing."

Su Mei was not worried about Xia Yan knowing this secret. In her opinion, the most magical thing in the world would be Boss Xia's restaurant where there was never a shortage of food.

Take whatever you want to eat, enjoy delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and live a comfortable life!

What is the purpose of life? Besides food and shelter, if you have these two things, you can just give up completely. Who would work so hard outside to fight for it?

Moreover, in the end times, these two things can be easily exchanged for any rights.

Having known her for so long, Su Mei had never seen her cooperate or trade power with any base commander. Apart from her own little piece of land, she had never expanded any territory.

Anyway, he is a strange person, as if he appeared just to watch the fun!

After Su Mei finished speaking, she stared at Xia Yan's eyes for a long time. Instead of seeing greed or possession, she saw...

joy?
