Chapter 372 Living Off a Woman

She greeted him gently, as if she had just seen Ling Ran: "Sir, Mr. Pei, you're here at the market too?"

As she spoke, she noticed Ling Ran's newly done nails. They were beautifully done and decorated with small rhinestones.

"Um."

Pei Yi responded but didn't say anything more.

Suppressing her discomfort, she continued the conversation: "Where are you planning to go next, sir? If it's on the way, we can go together."

"You don't plan to stay at Nirvana Base?"

"Probably not."

Ling Ran and his group saw the predicament of Nirvana Base, as did Qing Qing and her group. Staying in such a weak base that could be swallowed up at any time meant that their safety could not be guaranteed.

Pei Yi continued, "So, which base are you planning to go to?"

"The closest base to Nirvana Base is Phoenix Base. I heard that Phoenix Base is a large base with 30,000 people. It is strictly managed and has great strength."

At this point, her voice trailed off: "I heard that Phoenix Base wanted Nirvana Base to join Phoenix Base, but because Phoenix Base stipulated that each ability user could only bring two survivors, Manager Peng refused."

There are only a little over 500 superhumans at Nirvana Base. Each superhuman can only take two survivors. That means Phoenix Base only accepts a little over 1,500 people from Nirvana Base. What about the remaining 6,000 survivors?

Should we just let them die?

Peng Hui couldn't do it.

Although he wasn't a particularly kind person, and his moral compass had sank even lower after the apocalypse, making him even more selfish, he still couldn't bring himself to abandon the lives of over six thousand people without batting an eye, and always wanted to try one more time.

Ling Ran's arrival gave him hope.

Thirty thousand people? That many?

This is more than the number of people at Hope Base.

It is indeed a large base.

"Hmm." She nodded gently. "So we plan to stay here for a few days and then go to Phoenix Base. Would you like to come along, sir?"

Pei Yi replied, "It depends; it's not certain yet."

"Okay, then you can call us if you're going."

"Um."

Pei Yi nodded slightly to her, then left with Ling Ran. The smile that had been on Qingqing's face finally disappeared.

Throughout the entire ordeal, that person remained aloof and never uttered a single word to her.

"Qingqing, are you alright?"

"It's nothing." She said that, but her eyes welled up with tears: "Do you think that adult looked down on me?"

"That's probably how she always was."

Seeing that Xiaopang didn't agree, Qingqing became even more upset: "I don't think so. I can feel it. She doesn't like me. She talks to other people, but she ignores me when I talk. It's obvious that she's targeting me."

"Now that you mention it, it does seem a bit true." The chubby boy frowned and thought, "I think she's jealous of you. After all, you're prettier than her, and someone as arrogant as her definitely can't stand it."

Qingqing was secretly delighted: "Really? Am I prettier than her? I think I'm so ugly. She's much prettier than me, and look at all the men around her, they don't even glance at me."

"That woman is so powerful that all the men around her depend on her for their livelihood. They're all gigolos, so they definitely wouldn't dare offend her. They might even like Qingqing, but they have to put on a cold face to survive."

Little Fatty was trying to comfort her, but Qingqing's eyes lit up as she realized she had found the truth.

That's right, what man could resist such a beautiful woman offering herself up? It must be because they are all her admirers, and she wouldn't allow them to cheat on her, that's why she did this.

Thinking about it this way, Qingqing's mood instantly improved.
