Chapter 71 Departure to West City Base
Cheng Hao at the door felt like he had eaten a big piece of news. It turned out that his wise and powerful boss had been pursuing her for so long but was still rejected?
Seeing Li Mo following behind him, Ye Jin quickly agreed: "Okay, I promise you, I will give you an answer when I return from the North City Base!"
Gu Jingzheng frowned. Although this was not the answer he wanted, he knew Ye Jin's personality and did not force her any further.
"Okay, I'll wait for you!"
After saying that, he let go of Ye Jin's slender arms, stood up and straightened his clothes.
"I'm going out first. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."
Ye Jin's heart: "..."
Boss, do you know that you are more likely to make others think the wrong thing when you do this?
Gu Jingzheng walked to the door and glanced at Cheng Hao. Cheng Hao followed him silently, his eyes full of excitement as he was eager to ask questions.
Ye Jin looked at his brother who was still in a daze at the door, lowered his head and ran upstairs, closing the door tightly.
She rolled over on the bed twice. Oh my god! She felt like she couldn't face her brother anymore. Their posture just now really made people think of something wrong, right? Xiaochen didn't think she wanted to do something with that bastard on the sofa, did he?!
Cheng Hao followed Gu Jingzheng back to their own villa. After entering the house, he saw Li Mo on the sofa. He winked at Li Mo and mouthed gossip, but Li Mo ignored him at all.
Cheng Hao felt that Li Mo was really boring, so he had to rely on himself if he wanted to ask. He asked, "Boss, what's going on between you and Miss Ye?"
Gu Jingzheng gave him a cold look: "Why did you go to Ye Jin's house just now? Wasn't there something going on? Why are you back again?"
"Oh, it's nothing serious. I just wanted to send some food to Aunt Chen. Haven't we been eating at their house every day these days..." Of course, the sending of food was fake. In fact, he just wanted to eavesdrop. Aunt Chen didn't hear it, so he ate it in front of her.
"Didn't you just deliver it this morning?"
Cheng Hao: "..."
Gu Jingzheng snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know your little thoughts."
Cheng Hao laughed dryly: "Haha... I'm just concerned about... your emotional problems, Boss~"
"You might as well spend more time improving your abilities!"
"..." Boss, can you please speak properly?
When Li Mo saw Cheng Hao being scolded, he didn't even raise his head to look at him. He was still staring at the information and just shook his head silently. He was really stubborn.
…
After Ye Jin calmed down, she carefully analyzed and confirmed her feelings for Gu Jingzheng. It was undeniable that she was indeed attracted to him. It was not just their tacit understanding, but the whole person of Gu Jingzheng made her heart beat faster.
She is not afraid of anything, but she is still afraid of getting hurt, especially after experiencing her past life, she is still reserved about feelings.
She did like Fu Yihao, and she did not deny it. It was not shameful to like the wrong person, but she could not blame others for the emotional hurt Fu Yihao brought her. It would be unfair to Gu Jingzheng.
Ye Jin was timid when dealing with relationships that were not within her plan because she did not want to repeat the same mistakes, but she was never a cowardly person. She knew very well how Gu Jingzheng treated her.
At this time, Ye Jin already had the answer in her heart, she just needed a cooling-off period.
Before leaving, Ye Jin informed Xiao Wu and Su Heng in advance that Yu Runruan must not be allowed to leave from any exit of the southern base. Now that Yu Runruan's system prevented him from hurting her, he decided to trap her in the base for now.
After Yu Runrun disappeared from the spot last time, she also appeared in her own home. Anyway, she has been at the base all the time and has been circling around Yang Shuhuai.
Ye Jin had observed before that Xu Shuai had slapped Yu Runruan on the way to find Xu Jiaguo last time, but nothing happened. However, he tried twice but couldn't hurt Yu Runruan.
She had thought about it a few times, and it seemed unlikely that men could hurt the heroine but women couldn't. It was possible that the system would not care if the heroine's life was not threatened. Another possibility was that the heroine's target could hurt her.
Since she was away for a while, she had to find something for Yu Runrun to do. She had even gone to monitor Yang Shuhuai in person yesterday.
She found that Yang Shuhuai's attitude towards Yu Runruan had changed a lot recently. Based on her understanding of Yang Shuhuai, he must be harboring evil intentions in his heart if he became so friendly to Yu Runruan for no reason.
At least a madman with an abnormal brain like him would definitely be curious about Yu Ruanruan's sudden supernatural powers, and that's enough.
…
Ye Jin had communicated with Zhang Zhang and the others. Zhang Yiyi wanted to stay to take care of Xia Li, and Ye Jin also asked Aunt Chen to stay, but Yueyue insisted on going with them, so this time there were only her, Xiaochen, Zhang Zhang and Yueyue going to Xicheng.
Before leaving, she left a lot of supplies, enough for the store to operate. Wang Juan can manage the store now, and Zhang Yiyi only needs to go there occasionally. She is not worried because Gu Jingzheng is at the base, and Su Heng and his military personnel will also help look after it.
Although the road to the end of the world is difficult, Ye Jin will not treat himself badly.
The temperature outside was scorching, but the temperature inside the RV was just right. Ye Jin lay comfortably on the small sofa, with her legs crossed and chewing an apple.
If there weren't zombies running behind the car, others would have thought they were on a trip.
Ye Jin stretched himself. He had been bored in the base for a few days, so it was good to change places. Xiao Yueyue was very happy.
"Zhang Zhang, if you get tired of driving, let me take your turn."
The person driving the most on the road these days is Zhang Zhang.
"No need, boss. Just take a rest."
Zhang Zhang looked at the road ahead with sharp eyes and drove carefully.
I don’t know when Zhang Zhang started to like calling Ye Jin “Boss”.
Zhang Zhang took the map of the route to the West City base that Gu Jingzheng had Li Mo draw on the computer, looked at it for a long time, and said to Ye Jin, "Boss, many places on this map drawn by Li Mo are inaccurate."
"There's nothing we can do. This map is from before the apocalypse. It's been almost a year now, and many roads are damaged and untravelable. In some places, the geology has even changed."
She added, "Let's follow the general location on the map first. If we can't find the place, we can get out of here first."
There are almost no living people on the highway they are on now. There is not even a single building around. The road is bumpy and people are dizzy from the shaking these days.
I slept in the wild for another night, and finally saw the end of the highway the next afternoon. After crossing this road, I could quickly enter Province C.
A few buildings can be vaguely seen on the roadside. Although there are no people, there are quite a few zombies following behind.
"Boss, we're about to get off the highway."
"Sister, there's someone blocking the road ahead."
Yu Zichen sensed a roadblock a hundred meters ahead. He said, "There's a metal fence blocking the intersection ahead. There are also many steel nails on the ground. There are also people hiding in the dark."
Ye Jin didn't even raise her eyelids. She had anticipated this situation. This road was the only way to the West City Base, and people passing by could loot a lot of supplies.
"It's okay. They just want to collect some tolls. Let Zhang Zhang go down and negotiate with them. Give them some supplies and don't delay our journey."
Zhang Zhang nodded: "Okay, I'll ask first."
Zhou Hao, lying on the ground, looked at the RV parked on the road with greed in his eyes.
He said into the intercom: "Brother, here comes the fat sheep."
Song Yi, who was on the intercom, observed the vehicle remotely through a telescope and said, "Be careful. It's not easy to drive such a nice car on the road in the end times."
"Got it. I'll first check to see how many people are in their car. Have Qiangzi and the others set up their guns."
Ye Jin was in the car, watching several red dots shining on the window glass.
"Zhang Zhang, there's a sniper. Don't get out of the car yet."
Zhang Zhang rolled down the driver's window halfway and shouted, "Someone, come out and remove the roadblock. You can exchange it for supplies if you want to pass through."
Zhou Hao held the intercom and said, "Brother, a man opened the window and said he wanted to exchange supplies for them.
