Chapter 246 I'm so regretful!

Hearing this, Ye Lichuan, who was sitting in his office handling base affairs, trembled in fright and burst into a tirade of curses.

"You little brat, didn't you say you were going to check out Dawn Base and would be back? Why aren't you coming back? Did you even see Dawn Base? You said you weren't coming back? You better get back here right now, or I'll break your legs."

Ye Lichuan felt that his daughter was like a caged bird. He dared not open the cage door for even a moment, because as soon as it was opened, she would seize the opportunity to fly away, and once she flew away, it would be difficult to catch her again.

Ye Sangyu said matter-of-factly, "I want to join the Dawn Squad. I'm doing this all for your sake. Do you know how hard it is to get crystal cores? If I join the Dawn Squad, the ability enhancement fluid will only cost two hundred crystal cores per bottle."

"You joined what kind of bullshit team? Get back here..." Ye Lichuan started cursing, then realized something was wrong. "What did you just say? Two hundred crystal cores for a single dose of ability enhancement fluid?"

Ye Sangyu said proudly, "That's right, at the Dawn Base's internal price, the ability enhancement fluid only costs two hundred crystal cores."

For a moment, Ye Lichuan felt a pang of pain in his teeth. "That Wu Ming is really ruthless. He sold us a thousand crystal cores per tube. How much profit did he make?"

Ye Sangyu chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, as long as I join the Dawn Base, we'll only need two hundred crystal cores per vial to buy ability enhancement fluid. Isn't that a great deal?"

Ye Lichuan thought it over and over, and decided that his daughter was still the most important. "What a load of rubbish! Get back here right now, or I'll have to send someone to bring you back. Our base has plenty of capabilities. Do you think we're short of a few crystal cores? Do you think we can trade you for them? At the very least, isn't Cong Lei at the Dawn Base? Can't she get an insider price?"

Speaking of Ye Conglei, Ye Sangyu realized that it was indeed true; her cousin was at the Dawn Base and could get insider pricing.

Her plan fell through, and she prepared to make a runaway. "I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you that I'm not talking to you anymore, bye-bye."

Seeing that the other end was about to roar again, Ye Sangyu quickly hung up the phone and shrank her neck.

Then Lin Jingsong's phone rang incessantly. He looked at Ye Sangyu with a look of despair, and answered the call to report the situation.

Unrest is destined to ensue inside this car.

With Meng Shiwan with us, nothing else happened along the way, and the journey went very smoothly.

We slowly drove onto the winding mountain road, slowing down and making sure the car moved steadily.

Looking at the mountain that appeared in front of her, Yang Wen, sitting in the passenger seat, was stunned. "It really was true. They said we'd live on the mountain. That makes me feel much better."

Losing the qualification to enhance one's abilities within the liquid, but giving hundreds of people a more stable life at Ye Sheng Base, is worth it, it's all worth it.

When the vehicle reached the top of the mountain, the surroundings were obscured by the rain, but we knew we were at the top and didn't see any caves.

While she was still wondering where Dawn Base was located and what she was doing on the mountaintop, she saw the car in front of her suddenly turn, and they followed suit.

Immediately afterwards, the view in front of me opened up, as if I had entered another world in an instant.

Yang Wen unconsciously stood up, pressed her head against the windshield, and looked at the scene outside.

There was no acid rain, the sky was clear and cloudless, the sun was warm, and on the dark brown and damp land, light green plant seedlings sprouted, covering the ground in large patches and creating a green carpet.

Further away, there are shimmering ponds with green plants floating on them, as well as boats of various sizes.

In the center stands a dignified castle, surrounded by residential buildings, some still under construction, sparking with clanging noise.

A peaceful scene, with flat ground, like a paradise on earth.

And that row at the farthest end, do they look like airplanes and missiles? They're just sitting there looking so clean and fresh?

"How is this possible? Does such a place still exist in the world today? Could it be an illusion? How could this be?"

She pressed her head against the window, looking and looking. "Why is there no acid rain here? Why is the sun so bright? Why is there such a large, flat, arable area on the mountaintop? Why? This doesn't make sense."

She racked her brains but still couldn't figure out what was going on.

The driver was so engrossed in watching that he almost drove the car into the field.

The scene before them was incredibly impactful.

Meng Shiwan originally intended to stop the car and let them stay on the edge, so that when Ye Sangyu and the others returned, she could take them with her.

But then she thought, since they've already come all this way, it would be a bit of a waste to let them leave without making the most of their labor.

So, Meng Shiwan's RV led the way, driving them to a road next to the residential area under construction and stopping there.

When Tao Yarong saw Meng Shiwan return, they all gathered around, chattering excitedly.

"Sister, you're back."

"Was the journey smooth?"

"Is this a survivor who was rescued?"

Meng Shiwan got out of the car. "No, those people are going to Ye Sheng's base. They're coming here first. The residential area is still under construction, isn't it? There are quite a few of them. Go ask them if they'll work and be fed."

Tao Yarong nodded, "Okay, sister, I'll go ask."

As Yang Wen stepped out of the car, she felt a sense of unreality as she walked on the damp and slightly soft soil.

She squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil, looked up and around. The mixed scent of soil and greenery wafted towards her, and inhaling it brought an indescribable sense of comfort.

The light steel houses on both sides are quite tall, probably six stories high. The scaffolding has just been erected, and the walls haven't been finished yet.

Up close, the castle appears even more magnificent and seems to cover a considerable area.

On a large concrete area in front of the castle, someone was winnowing wheat. The golden wheat was thrown up, the wind carried away the debris, leaving clean wheat on the ground.

Yang Wen's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Drying wheat? An endless field, is this still the apocalypse? What kind of illusion is this that's so real?"

"Hello."

A short-haired girl walked up to her, greeted her, and extended her hand.

"Hello, hello." Yang Wen quickly reached out and shook hands, and then saw the pigeon-egg-sized diamond ring on Tao Yarong's finger.

Yang Wen: ...

What's going on? Has she gone mad? Or has the world gone mad?

Tao Yarong smiled and said, "My name is Tao Yarong. I heard from the base commander that you are going to Ye Sheng's base and may have to stay here for two days for some reasons. Here's the thing, our base is under construction and we need manpower right now. We would like to ask your people to help with the construction. We will provide three meals a day. I wonder if you would be willing?"

"Yes, yes," Yang Wen replied.

Food is the most precious thing now. Some people in large bases may not even be able to eat three meals a day after a full day's work.

She'd rather eat what others provide than save on her own; if she had a job and meals were provided, she naturally wouldn't refuse.

She's heartbroken right now; how could she have missed out on such a great base?

Meng Shiwan previously said that her base was in the mountains, with few people, and that they were all farmers, but she didn't say that they were actually farming.

She had the chance to come to this paradise, but she missed it.

She was filled with regret; she was devastated.
