Chapter 31
Wen Bei looked at Huang Qian and curved his eyes, a smile appearing on his face: "I am Miss Huang's friend."
Bai You looked at the young man with black hair and black eyes in front of him and couldn't help but be distracted.
She is so stunning in appearance. She is so clean and harmless that even criticizing her seems cruel.
For some reason, the words that Bai You was about to use to argue with Huang Qian came to his lips but he couldn't say them.
Wen Bei looked at him with such innocent eyes, and he suddenly felt that he had been too extreme. Anyway, whether Huang Qian and the others were lying or not would be known as soon as the people they sent to investigate came back.
When the time comes, he will definitely file a lawsuit in court and make those who spread rumors pay the price.
Brother Ji is such a good person, but they still fabricate things out of thin air after his death...
Anger appeared in Bai You's eyes. He stopped talking to Huang Qian, glared at her angrily, and ran away.
Huang Qian walked into Wen Bei, apologetically saying, "He's the youngest member of the White Eagle Guild. He was recruited into their guild just this year after becoming an adult. His abilities are quite useful, but he's a bit immature."
Wen Bei blinked: "It doesn't matter, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, you wouldn't believe my hotel."
Huang Qian's expression became complicated. She was very grateful to Wen Bei and his hotel, but she also felt a little panicked by his presence. "Boss, why are you here at the base?"
Could it be that there have been too many people visiting the hotel recently and the hotel’s supplies have run out?
This is also what Huang Qian is most worried about.
She wasn't sure if the magical hotel could continue to provide relief to the polluters.
Wen Bei saw what she was thinking and shook his head, saying, "Don't worry, the hotel is still operating normally. It has Rabbit Butler and Ji Mingyuan watching over it. The purpose of my visit this time is to discuss cooperation with the base."
Huang Qian was delighted: "Will the hotel remain open?"
Wenbei gave an affirmative answer.
Huang Qian couldn't hide her smile anymore. She patted her chest and said, "If you need help, you can come to me without any worries."
She didn't think that she and Wen Bei were just ordinary customers and bosses, but regarded Wen Bei as her savior.
If there had been no hotel at that time, she and the team she led would have died there.
Wen Bei thought for a moment and said, "I really do have a favor to ask of you."
Huang Qian: "What?"
Wen Bei: "Can you be my bodyguard for a few days?"
Huang Qian was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect this to be the request.
Wen Bei: "I will pay you."
Huang Qian quickly shook her head: "No, it's okay without compensation."
Wen Bei still insisted. His smile was gentle, but what he said was hard to refuse: "I can give you a reservation voucher. When the hotel's hot springs are developed, you will be one of the first guests."
Huang Qian's eyes widened a little. She had seen the magic of the hotel. Although she didn't know what the hot spring was used for, her intuition deep in her heart told her that this must be a good thing that everyone would flock to.
So she stopped refusing and nodded decisively: "Okay, then I'll follow you for the next few days."
Wen Bei: “Thank you.”
...
With Huang Qian by his side, Wen Bei clearly felt that there were fewer malicious glances when he walked in the base, but the prying did not decrease.
As one of the well-known polluters in the base, Huang Qian has no shortage of men around her, but she has never had any relationship with an ordinary person.
Wen Bei stood next to her, looking more like a brother and sister than a dating relationship.
The two parties ignored these curious looks, and soon Wen Bei found Captain Lan who had agreed to help yesterday.
He was processing the next batch of travelers with documents and looked very busy.
When she saw Wen Bei coming, she signaled him to wait a moment with her eyes.
Wen Bei: "Who is the traveler?"
Huang Qian: "They are the dying people who are about to be sent out of the base."
The term "travelers" sounds nice, but when the army goes out to collect supplies and information, they just abandon these people as garbage and burdens.
But those who did not have any weapons were thrown directly outside the base, and their final outcome was death. After the army was sure that they were dead, they would bring back the supplies collected on the way to the base, killing two birds with one stone.
Wenbei: “Does this include death row prisoners and excessive polluters?”
Huang Qian: "Yes, but it seems that there are no polluters with a pollution level of 95 among the recent batch of travelers."
Huang Qian paused again before speaking: "If Ji Mingyuan had not chosen to leave the base on his own, his name would also appear on this list."
Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future, and this refers to him.
My luck is so good that it makes me a little jealous.
Chengjie is probably also on this list.
He killed so many innocent people that there was no way he would live to see the next list of Far Travelers.
Wenbei didn't feel sorry for him.
During the conversation, Captain Lan finally finished his work and came over. He looked at Huang Qian beside Wen Bei. As high-level polluters, the two knew each other. After greeting each other, he began to lead the way.
I wasn't too curious about why Huang Qian was following Wen Bei.
Wen Bei followed him all the way to the northern area of the base, which was completely different from the large factories in the southern area. It was also known as the soul of the base.
It is an area dedicated to supplying food raw materials for the base.
It is difficult for ordinary people to come in.
With the help of Captain Lan, Wen Bei successfully arrived at the largest breeding farm in the base.
Huang Qian didn't understand why he was interested in the breeding farm at the base, so she followed him and watched without saying a word.
Wen Bei was curious at first and then gradually became shocked.
Human power should never be underestimated. The equipment here is so complete that it has its own feeding system.
The farm divides the contaminated and mutated edible animals into several areas.
Among them is a kind of black pig, each of which can grow to two meters tall. Humans look petite when standing in front of them, so they can only be enclosed with high fences. The living space for a black pig is probably just enough for it to turn around, and in front of it are feeding troughs and water troughs. The sticky food inside is made of something that is impossible to tell.
Due to contamination, each black pig has dozens of large tumors on its body, and those tumors look very familiar to Wen Bei.
Captain Lan smiled and said, "You are not mistaken. These tumors are the raw materials for the Snowflake Factory."
The person in charge of feeding the pigs explained: "Although these tumors may look disgusting, they are still edible. The meat of black pigs is relatively low in contamination. However, if we cut off the tumors every day, they will grow back overnight. For the sake of sustainable development, we usually only cut off these tumors."
Just like an old hen that lays eggs, you are reluctant to slaughter it.
Wen Bei pointed at the feeding trough and asked, "What are they eating?"
"It's insect feed. Almost all the animals on the farm are raised on this feed. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Wen Bei nodded, and then was taken to the place where insect feed was made.
He didn't expect that this so-called insect feed really meant what it said.
Large, fat white worms lay on the ground, and workers had to painstakingly collect the sticky substance they secreted.
These fat worms are the source of feed and are an indispensable part of the farm.
The breeder was somewhat helpless: "Don't think these bugs are disgusting. Without them, we simply can't afford to feed so many mutant animals."
These bugs can survive by simply eating the garbage produced by the base.
Next to the bugs is a group of strange-looking creatures, which are suspected to be geese from before the apocalypse, but each of them can spit fire. The keepers dare not get close and can only throw food in through the thick concrete wall.
From time to time, the smell of something burning could be smelled, which was the smell of them fighting with each other and burning each other into roast geese.
The meat is just sour, and doesn’t smell very pleasant when burnt.
The bodies of the burned people would be picked up and used along with some worthless food to make cheap multi-grain cakes.
Base officials have been stockpiling multi-grain cakes in case of an emergency.
Wen Bei: "Besides these animals, do you raise any other plants?"
After seeing these animals, he suddenly gave up the idea of raising edible animals in the hotel.
In the apocalypse, even edible animals have become unstable due to pollution. Without a stable system, it is difficult to carry out group breeding.
The breeder scratched his head: "Yes, but I can't go there."
Captain Lan: "Just follow me."
Wen Bei followed him, and after passing through a greenhouse aisle, he finally saw the planting area of the base.
All of them are ears of wheat taller than people, and these ears of wheat are not golden, but lush green.
Wen Bei had eaten the rice from the base and knew the texture of the wheat. It was hard and not soft at all.
It's drier and harder than leftover rice.
His focus was not on the wheat, but on the vegetable and fruit area to the left of the wheat.
There were vines clumped together everywhere, and colorful fruits were hanging on the green vines. Each one looked juicy and as big as an apple.
Wen Bei: "What kind of fruit is this mutation?"
Huang Qian: "It's grapes."
Wen Bei tilted his head slightly in curiosity: "It's actually grapes."
Huang Qian: "The price of one plum is almost the same as a whole meal, and it's also very sour, even sourer than a plum without any other ingredients."
As soon as Huang Qian saw these grapes, her mouth started watering.
The memories of being completely devastated by the sourness came flooding back to me, and I couldn't help but sigh quietly, "If only I could have the chance to eat normal fruit for once."
Wen Bei glanced at her and smiled without saying anything.
After hearing her say this, Captain Lan's originally elegant smile deepened slightly. "Miss Huang, didn't you say there's a hotel outside the base where we can eat normal food?"
Huang Qian narrowed her eyes slightly: "It seems that this news has spread to the point where even the authorities have been alarmed?"
Captain Lan smiled slightly and said, "The leader is very interested. If possible, I would also like to see which immortal opened the shop."
Wen Bei, who was observing how others grew grapes, was suddenly called out. He turned around with a puzzled look on his face, and his black and white cat's eyes revealed innocence.
Wen Bei said sincerely, "Yeah, I'm also curious about who is so capable of opening a hotel like this."
He boasts without blushing or getting nervous.
Huang Qian: “…”
