I finally got to eat a hot meal at home made by Aunt Chen, and then someone knocked on the door again.
Aunt Chen was about to open the door but was stopped by Ye Jin.
"You guys eat, I'll go take a look!"
Ye Jin stood up angrily, knife in hand. If anyone came to cause trouble again, she would beat them up. Even if the base forbade killing, she would still cripple them.
Opening the door and seeing Fu Yihao at the door, Ye Jin frowned and sneered: "What? Are you here to cause trouble for me on behalf of Yu Ruanruan?"
Yu Zhenguo had just left when Fu Yihao came to the door. She knew that Yu Runrun was hiding behind him.
No wonder Yu Ruanruan didn’t have an attack before, it turned out that she was looking for someone to help.
"I'm telling you, put away those little thoughts and don't let Yu Zhenguo cause me any more trouble!"
Fu Yihao was also stunned when he heard the tone of Ye Jin's voice. He had been running around outside these days, and when he heard that Ye Jin was also at the base, he rushed over immediately.
"Xiao Jin, why do you miss me so much?"
He explained, "Yu Ruanruan and I have nothing to do with each other. She asked me to help bring her to you because she is your sister. I..."
"I don't care whether you have a relationship or not!"
Fu Yihao called out in a deep voice: "Ye Jin!"
He didn't understand why Ye Jin was so unfamiliar with him.
Fu Yihao's eyes dimmed a little: "Xiao Jin, stop making trouble. I don't know what misunderstanding there is between us. We can talk about it later. I'm leaving soon. It's very dangerous everywhere in the end times. I want to take you to Kyoto."
He took a step forward and wanted to pull Ye Jin's hand, but Ye Jin dodged him directly. Fu Yihao's palm, which was suspended in the air, paused at the fingertips.
Ye Jin took two steps back: "I won't go with you, my friends and family are all here!"
Fu Yihao said anxiously, "Xiao Jin! Don't be willful. Do you know how dangerous this is?" But his tone gradually softened, "Your family and friends can come with me. I will take good care of them, okay?"
As Fu Yihao spoke, his eyes were full of pleading.
It was the first time that Ye Jin saw Fu Yihao like this. She always thought he was heartless.
If it were before, she would definitely be overjoyed, but she is no longer the Ye Jin of her previous life.
Even if he is not with Yu Ruanruan now, there will always be such a day in the future. Her previous life is the best example. She will never make the same mistake twice.
"No matter how many times you ask, it's the same. I won't go with you!"
After saying that, he turned around and closed the door decisively, remaining unmoved no matter how Fu Yihao shouted outside.
"Ye Jin!"
Fu Yihao stepped forward and slammed the door: "Xiao Jin! Let me in and have a good chat with you!"
There was no response from inside.
Uncle Chen, who had been waiting beside Fu Yihao for a long time, could no longer bear it and stepped forward to persuade him, "Master! We have to leave quickly! Besides, Miss Ye is very safe at the base. We are going to the capital for a long time and may not be able to provide her with better protection."
Yes! How could he promise to guarantee her family when he was in such a mess right now?
Fu Yihao looked haggard and gloomy. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "Let's go."
Zhang Yiyi and the others inside also heard the conversation outside.
During the meal, Zhang Yiyi looked at Ye Jin and asked, "Ye Jin, the base is very safe now. If you..."
"It has nothing to do with you! Kyoto is a long way away, and there are dangers everywhere right now. Whether we can even make it is another matter."
Ye Jin added more emphasis, "And I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore."
After hearing what Ye Jin said, Zhang Yiyi felt relieved. She was afraid that Ye Jin rejected Fu Yihao because he was concerned about their safety.
They were in the same school before, and she knew that Fu Yihao's family had many connections in Kyoto.
"Alright! Don't overthink it. I've been away for a while, and I think you've all been neglecting your practice! Let's start tomorrow and continue!"
"Ah~ Devil~"
Zhang Yiyi cried out in pain. Ye Jin was away for the past few days and no one took care of her, so she became lazy and played around.
"Only Sister Yiyi is lazy. Brother Xia Li and I practice every day!" Yu Zichen took credit for it to Ye Jin.
"Hmph! I've only not practiced for two days, and you're already complaining!" Zhang Yiyi snorted.
"How dare you say that? Xiaochen is younger than you and works harder than you!"
Aunt Chen picked up some vegetables with chopsticks and gave them to Zhang Yiyi: "Look at how fat you are. Be careful that zombies will chase you and you won't be able to run away."
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed, even Xia Li laughed.
Zhang Yiyi glared at Xia Li: "My mom is scolding me, what are you laughing at? You're such a taciturn person!"
Xia Li was glared at, but he said nothing and lowered his head to eat.
"puff!"
Ye Jin chuckled. Zhang Yiyi and Xia Li had completely opposite personalities. One was lively and active, while the other was silent.
"Ye Jin! Why are you laughing at me too!" Zhang Yiyi looked at Ye Jin angrily.
She quickly interrupted, "Eat! Eat!"
After dinner, Ye Jin could finally carefully study the wood-type core crystal of the redwood tree.
She took it out and looked at it carefully. It was no different from the wood-attribute nuclear crystal she had seen in her previous life.
Ye Jin placed it in the palm of his hand and absorbed it as he had done in his previous life. After a while, the core crystal turned into powder.
She stretched out her hand and released her wood ability. The small sapling in her palm was still bare with two leaves on top.
No way? Ye Jin sighed. After absorbing a three-series nuclear crystal, all he got was an extra leaf?
Now her water and lightning abilities have both been upgraded to the second level, but why is it that her wood ability seems to have shrunk and hasn't improved at all?
In her previous life, her wood ability was the strongest. Could it be that because she no longer has a fever, the wood ability has not yet fully awakened?
It seems that I can only find more nuclear crystals to feed them later.
…
It has been snowing for more than a month now, and the base is taking the opportunity to collect supplies. Xu Tian is recruiting a large number of people with special abilities. As soon as he heard that a dual-system person with special abilities appeared in the base, he immediately asked his confidants to negotiate terms.
As soon as Zhu Yuan arrived at Ye Jin's villa, he saw military vehicles at the door.
The troops arrived so quickly?
Just as I was about to go in, I saw Su Heng coming out.
"Hey! Captain Zhu is such a busy man, how come he's still here?"
"It's none of your military's business how we handle things!" Zhu Yuan said and hurried in.
He saw Ye Jin sitting leisurely on the coffee table in the living room drinking tea, and the teacup opposite her had not been collected yet.
Did this just end?
Zhu Yuan carefully observed the villa. Both its safety and the interior layout gave him a warm feeling before the end of the world. There were all kinds of biscuits and candies in the glass bowls on the table, and you could even drink tea.
Now many people in the base cannot even afford to eat and can only rely on the porridge subsidies distributed by the base. However, their family lives the same as before the apocalypse and seems to be living quite well. It's a pity that this dual-system mutant is a woman, what a waste.
Although he still looked down on her in his heart, when he walked in front of Ye Jin, Zhu Yuan still greeted her politely and said, "Hello, Miss Ye!"
Ye Jin raised an eyebrow. This attitude was completely different from the last time at the entrance of the small hospital.
"Captain Zhu, what can I do for you?"
He asked perfunctorily without inviting him to sit down and talk.
Zhu Yuan probably understood Ye Jin's attitude, so he spoke directly: "Ms. Ye, our Secretary Xu admires you very much and would like to invite you to join our special ability team."
Ye Jin didn't reply.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuan continued, "Our Secretary Xu is very appreciative of people with special abilities. I heard that Miss Ye even possesses a rare dual-element special ability!"
After praising her for a bit, he continued to tempt her: "As long as Miss Ye is willing to come, the captaincy of our base's special ability team will definitely be yours. You can set any conditions you want."
Although they have never seen Ye Jin's strength, the only dual-system psychic in the base is on their side. Even if his ability is not good enough, the title of dual-system psychic alone can increase Secretary Xu's power.
"It sounds great, but you just saw it. You're a step too late!"
Zhu Yuan frowned. He had indeed finished the discussion with Su Heng. He never expected that the army would get there first.
"Survival of the fittest, these are not a problem. We can promise you three times what the military can offer you!"
Ye Jin looked up at Zhu Yuan and said, "Captain Zhu, I'm really moved by what you said. However, I don't like to break my promise. I just agreed. If I go back on my word, I'm afraid I'll lose all my credibility in the base."
Zhu Yuan frowned. What was going on? Didn't this woman understand what he was saying? It was triple the conditions! What credibility did a woman like her have?!
"Ms. Ye, we can provide the best conditions for your family. We can provide you with 50 kilograms of rice every month. As far as I know, the psychics in the military can only receive 5 kilograms of rice per month..."
These conditions are indeed much better than those in the army, but Ye Jin will not agree to them because Xu Tian is above him.
She looked up at the clock and interrupted Zhu Yuan: "Captain Zhu! I just promised someone to go to the cotton mill, and I don't have enough time."
Su Heng, who was waiting outside, came in at the right time and said, "Ms. Ye, everything is ready!"
Ye Jin replied to the outside: "Okay! Let's go now!"
Are they trying to drive him away? Zhu Yuan had always been by Xu Tian's side, managing most of the base's psychics. This was the first time he had been treated like this, and his face flushed with anger.
As expected, he knew that women were not capable of this. Anyone with a discerning eye would know who to choose to gain the upper hand. The people in the military were all broke, but she didn't even have that much foresight. Even if she was a dual-system psychic, what was the use? She wouldn't be able to accomplish anything great.
In this case, there was no need for him to be nice and polite: "Miss Ye is so ungrateful, I hope you won't regret your choice today!"
Zhu Yuan snorted coldly, turned around and left without staying any longer.
Is this a case of turning hostile? As expected of Xu Tian's men, they are all the same, appearing respectful on the surface, but their eyes are filled with contempt. Unfortunately, what Ye Jin fears least is threats!
She is not stupid, she will not choose any side. She has no shortage of food. What she is most anxious about now is to meet Xu Jiaguo and contact the Ye family.
No one with special abilities can stay out of trouble in the base. Instead of being targeted by both sides, it is better to make your own choice. At least the army can negotiate the terms of whether to help or not. It is up to her to decide whether to help or not. No matter how strong Xu Tian is, you are just a submachine gun to him.
