Chapter 228 Two Bowls of Beef Noodles
She looked at her son and asked in confusion, "Really? Why is this happening?"
Bai Muran frowned and said, "Of course it's true!"
"I don't know if you have heard that there are people whose condition is more serious, who also suffer from headaches and cannot sleep day and night. This is our captain, Liu Mingfei. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."
Liu Mingfei nodded and asked concernedly, "Is there something wrong with the old man's health? There is a hospital at the A701 base that can treat you."
Ma Liang spoke first: "My mother is in good health, and Captain Lao Liu is thinking about her. As for the A701 base, we can't afford the entrance fee, so we won't go."
Liu Mingfei was rejected quite a bit, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Bai Muran understood that if things were not explained clearly, it would be difficult for them to find out the truth about this mother and son.
So, Bai Muran said seriously: "There is another very important reason why we are worried about the old man's health."
He looked at Ma Liang sharply: "This is a long story..."
Then Bai Muran told the story of his trip to the Mid-Mountain Base, where he caught a spirit fox, and the abnormal conditions that occurred after he drank the spirit fox's blood.
Finally, he analyzed the current situation for him, then stared at Ma Liang and said, "You were also a college student before the end of the world. You should know the seriousness of this matter. It's up to you whether you want to cooperate with us or not."
After a pause, he continued, "If you are willing to cooperate, I can take care of the base and bring you back to the base. I can't say anything else, but at least your safety and food and shelter will not be a problem."
Ma Liang was silent.
It is true that his mother developed intermittent mental disorders after drinking the fox spirit blood. He once suspected whether the fox spirit blood was poisonous, but he never considered that his mother was controlled by someone else!
He doesn't like the A701 base, but that doesn't mean he doesn't like Bai Muran.
This man gave up the largest base and went to the Mid-Mountain Base in City A. He must have had his reasons, and at the moment, he doesn't seem to be lying.
He thought for a moment: "I want to meet your lord."
There is no problem with this.
As long as he can bring Ma Liang to Ye Xin's side, he will have completed most of the mission. If that doesn't work, there is still room for Ye Xin!
If these two people really don't cooperate, they will be handed over to Ye Xin for training.
Bai Muran suggested: "Take your mother with you! It's not safe for her to be alone at home."
Ma Liang did not object.
Just like that, Bai Muran carried the old man on his back and took Ma Liang towards where Ye Xinan was camping.
This ordeal lasted until most of the night. Ye Xin had just fallen asleep when she heard Bai Muran knocking on the door.
When I saw him carrying an old man on his back and a man in his thirties following behind him, I suddenly lost my sleepiness.
The old man had a very sensitive nose. He could smell meat as soon as he entered the house and his stomach immediately started to rumble.
She whispered to her son, "The benefactor was not lying. There is a smell of meat here. They even had meat for dinner!"
Ye Xin did not hide her vest, and directly took out two large bowls of beef noodles from the space, pushed them in front of the two people, and said with a smile: "The old man seems hungry, eat first, and talk after you are full."
Ma Liang and his mother were stunned as they watched the young woman take out two bowls of noodles like a magic trick, with large chunks of beef on top emitting an irresistible aroma.
"This... this is not good, right?" He said this but couldn't help swallowing.
Ye Xin introduced herself with a smile: "I am the lord of the Banshan Base, Ye Xin. Since you trust my men, I will certainly not treat you badly. Eat until you are full."
Both of them had their stomachs full of grass and were not hungry at all. How could they resist seeing these two bowls of noodles?
He picked up the bowl and started to eat voraciously.
After eating more than half of the meal, he gradually slowed down his eating speed and began to chew slowly, as if he was savoring the flavor of each noodle. Ye Xin couldn't help feeling a little sad.
This is the life of ordinary people in the end times. Even if a person has awakened psychic powers, without food, there is still no food!
It took the mother and son a long time to finish the bowl of noodles, even drinking up all the soup. Then they wiped their mouths and said, "We are willing to cooperate, Lord Ye, we are willing to follow you and join the Mid-mountain Base!"
Ye Xin had seen it a long time ago. Not long after they started eating noodles, a little red heart appeared on their heads. It was a sign of surrender, there was no mistake about it!
Ye Xin smiled and stretched out her hands: "Welcome!"
"But we still need you to provide information to deal with our common enemy."
Liu Mingfei stood aside without saying a word, hoping that Ye Xin would succeed.
Ma Liang glanced at Liu Mingfei and began to tell the story slowly, with the old lady filling in the blanks.
Ma Liang told us that this old man, like Ye's mother, fell into a coma after drinking the fox spirit blood and was unconscious for several days before waking up.
Although her head no longer hurt, she could still hear someone talking in her head from time to time, ordering her to do this and that, and she had no choice but to obey.
Ten miles west of Maying is Gangtai Mountain. Whenever his mother was controlled by someone, she could climb up Gangtai Mountain alone. He found his mother on Gangtai Mountain several times.
"Old man, after you finish the task assigned by that person, can you still remember what you did after you wake up?"
The old man shook his head: "I don't remember it at all! I don't even know how I got to Hong Kong-Taiwan Mountain!"
Ye Xin was silent.
Even though Gu Sinan was controlled, he knew what he was doing and was able to resist. Judging from what Ye's mother and the old man said, they seemed to have no ability to resist at all.
There may be two reasons:
First, this place is too close to Hong Kong Taishan, which is convenient for that person to control. Fengcheng is too far away, so Gu Sinan can still struggle ideologically.
Second, the servants that person directly selected are different from those who were indirectly controlled by drinking the fox blood! They are almost like zombies, and when they are controlled, they are completely like walking corpses.
Ye Xin arranged for the two people to rest in the west compartment and discussed this idea with Liu Mingfei and others.
Liu Mingfei nodded: "No matter what the situation is, the blood of the spirit fox can no longer be circulated! Stopping that auction is the key!"
"Xiao Liu, send a message to the base immediately and have them report to the higher-ups. I'm afraid our two bases alone can't handle this. We need more forces to get involved."
He turned around and looked at Ye Xin: "Ye Xin, if we need help, can your Mid-Levels Base help us eliminate that person?"
"Perhaps," Liu Mingfei pondered, "Perhaps only when that person is completely destroyed can the footsteps of the end of the world stop, and those who are controlled by him can be completely freed."
It coincides with Ye Xin's idea.
Just like her space, there is only one way for the citizens of the space to completely get rid of Ye Xin's control, that is: Ye Xin dies and the space disappears.
Maybe, that person is the same!
Ye Xin nodded: "This is a matter related to the fate of the entire human race, so I, Ye Xin, will naturally not refuse. However, let's first think about how to stop the auction from taking place."
"We still have two days to prepare. Captain Liu can go back and prepare first. You are welcome to come to the Mid-Levels Base when the time comes. My place is not far from the auction."
A dark shadow disappeared from the yard. Ye Xin looked over intentionally or unintentionally, with a slight smile on her lips.
