Chapter 320: The Little Deer with a Tea-like Demeanor
Wen Qing said softly, "My family all say that my eyebrows and eyes look like my mother's, but my nose and mouth look more like my father's."
“Okay, then let’s look for it based on these characteristics.” As Lu Nange spoke, she used her backpack as cover to take out a bunch of snacks and drinks from her storage space and place them on the corner of the table.
He Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he immediately leaned over: "Sister, I want a bottle of Coke!"
Lu Nan reached into her backpack, took out a bottle of iced cola, and handed it to him.
He Zhu grinned: "Thank you, little sister!"
The group spent more than five hours poring over the photos, sifting through them one by one, but still found nothing.
Although he found several people whose eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Wen Qing's, Wen Qing shook his head after recognizing them.
Lu Xici stretched: "If it's not in Yanxin, it's probably in another base."
Lu Nange stood up and rubbed her sore neck: "Then let's go and search them one by one—perfect, let's start with the Mu family's base."
Ji Xian: "Nan Nan..."
Lu Nange: "Brother Ji Xian, stop!"
He Zhuo: "Whatever my little sister says goes. You're not much smarter than me, so if we just listen to her, we can't go wrong."
Ji Xian nodded slightly: "You're right, listening to Nan Nan is definitely the right thing to do!"
Lu Nange: "Let's call it a day then... We still have to set up our stall tomorrow, so we need to go back and get a good night's sleep."
He Zhuo: "Little sister, what are you planning to sell?"
Lu Nange: "Let's sell some that can fit in backpacks first."
Chi Yanzhou: "At most three days, we'll be able to leave."
Lu Nange nodded: "Yes, the stall is only rented for three days. After three days, we'll go out to 'stock up' some more goods."
He Zhuo was a little confused: "Why three days? Not one day, not five days, and not seven days?"
Gu Qi: "Didn't you just say you'd listen and do as I say?"
He Zhuo: "I'm just curious, that doesn't stop me from doing as I'm told."
Gu Qi: "Three days is enough for us to find out everything about the base, gain the right to speak, and then we can discuss going to the Mu family's base to cause trouble."
He Zhuo: "Does this mean we'll continue to show our skills tomorrow?"
Gu Qi nodded: "That's what I mean!"
He Zhuo: "So, what did you mean by 'stocking up' just now, little sister?"
Lu Nange: "The combined capacity of our backpacks can only last for three days at most."
He Zhuo suddenly slapped his forehead: "That's right! There are too many people and too many eyes at the base. If we take out too many things, you'll be exposed, Mei Bao. Let's drive around outside the base, and then we can take the things out openly."
Gu Wan: "Fortunately, my brain hasn't completely rusted away."
Chi Yanzhou: "It's too late, let's go back first."
The door opened, and a group of people came out one after another. Old Li immediately stood up upon hearing the noise, his face beaming with a smile: "Young Master Chi, Young Master Shi, are you leaving already?"
Shi Xu replied, "Okay, thank you for your help tonight."
Old Li quickly waved his hand: "What are you saying? It's all I should do! I won't see you off any further. Please come over anytime if you need anything!"
He Zhuoyu said jokingly, "Uncle Li, I never expected you to be like this, Old Li. Your change of expression is... a bit too fast."
Old Li wasn't embarrassed at all, and replied with a smile, "I'm just completely convinced by the strength of the strong!"
He Zhuo: "Old Li, you're pretty good at this!"
Gu Qi: "Let's go back!"
Old Li smiled and bowed, "Then I won't see you off any further. Take care, everyone."
As soon as the door closed, the staff who had been sitting upright immediately relaxed, and someone asked in a low voice, "Are they gone?"
Old Li let out a long sigh of relief: "Hmm... we've gone far enough, everyone get up and stretch."
In an instant, everyone on the floor stood up, stretching their arms and legs, rubbing their shoulders and twisting their waists, and the oppressive atmosphere relaxed instantly.
"Before the apocalypse, we were treated like cattle and horses; after the apocalypse, we're still cattle and horses... except that after the apocalypse, even cattle and horses have to worry about getting beaten up."
"Uncle Li, these bastards... they won't come every day, will they?"
"Pah, pah, pah, hurry up and knock on the wood..." Old Li reached out and tapped the wooden table next to him: "That shouldn't be possible, right?"
"I think Young Master Chi and his group were only trying to establish their authority on the first day, and since many people were not convinced, they had to 'win people over with virtue'... They probably won't do that again in the future, right?"
Old Li: "That makes some sense!"
The Flameheart Base was electrified, and the night was illuminated by the streetlights, casting a dim, bright yellow glow.
Lu Nange and her group walked towards the villa area under the cover of night.
Shi Xu said seriously, "I want to use the information Nan Nan gave me to build a research institute at our base."
He Zhuo turned his head, his face full of shock: "What? Old Shi, you're going to raise zombies too?! And the kind where you use living people for experiments?"
Shi Xu raised his foot and kicked him, saying irritably, "You donkey, you haven't done anything useful all day but kick your head, have you? Can't we study mutated plants? Can't we analyze crystal core energy? -- Of course, we really need to figure out the source and transmission mechanism of the zombie virus."
He Zhuo clutched his buttocks, grimacing and muttering, "See? In the end... we still have to raise zombies!"
Shi Xu was too lazy to argue with him anymore. She rolled her eyes and turned to the others: "I can't explain it to you... What does everyone think?"
Chi Yanzhou: "Okay."
Besides He Zhuo, Lu Nange and the others also expressed their support.
Shi Xu nodded, his tone resolute: "Then I'll start preparing for the research institute after I return from the Mu family?"
Lu Nange: "Yes, I put all those experimental instruments into my spatial storage back then, so they're ready to use right away..."
Shi Xu: "It still has to be our Nan Nan."
Lu Nange shrugged: "We've already gone, it wouldn't be good to come back empty-handed!"
After saying goodbye several times at the crossroads, only Chi Yanzhou, the three Lu siblings, Wen Qing, and Luo Xingyou remained on their way to the Chi family villa.
From a distance, they saw a person standing outside the Chi family villa. As they got closer, they recognized him as Chi Yi.
Lu Xici: "Brother Chi, are you done with your work?"
Chi Yi: "Yeah, I met up with Chi Si and the others. The old master said that starting tomorrow, I'll still be by the young master's side."
Luo Xingyou: "Brother Chi, you left with Chi Qi and the others as soon as you got back yesterday. Where are you staying now?"
Chi Yi: "Miss Xingyou, we have a unified dormitory arrangement."
Lu Nange and the others exchanged silent glances, their thoughts almost simultaneously flashing through their minds: [Young Master, Miss... why are those damned titles back again?]
Lu Beiye looked up and asked, "Brother Chi Yi, are you... not going to live with us anymore?"
Chi Yi: "Young Master Ono, I will still stay by your side during the day, but I will stay in the same dormitory at night."
Lu Beiye: "You don't call me Xiaoye anymore..."
Lu Nange glanced at her younger brother: [This kid, why does he seem so pedantic?]
Chi paused for a moment, then said, "Young Master Ono, once we return to the base, I belong to the Chi family..."
Chi Yanzhou: "There are rooms at home, just come and stay."
Lu Nange: "Brother Chi, let's go home first."
Chi Yi: "Okay... let's go home."
