Chapter 270 Seeking Help (First Update)
The crisp sound of "click" instantly brought back to their senses those big guys who were almost losing their composure. They quickly glanced at Bai Ye, whose face was dark blue, and the white jade wine glass in his hand. Frightened by his appearance, they quickly retracted their gazes, not daring to look at him again.
A drop of cold sweat slid down Guan Rong's forehead, and he quickly said, "Someone! Bring me a wine glass!"
Bai Ye suddenly stood up and said, "No need, my companion is drunk. Thank you for your hospitality, Captain Guan. We'll take our leave now."
After he finished speaking, he bent down slightly, took Fang Yuxin's hand, and whispered in her ear: "You are drunk, let's leave here first."
Fang Yuxin was naturally not drunk. Before the end of the world, although her alcohol tolerance was not very good, she was not drunk with just one glass of wine. Later, she became a pure wood spirit body and embarked on the path of cultivating immortals, so she was even less likely to get drunk.
She glanced at Bai Ye, and saw a dark storm brewing in his eyes. Although she and Bai Ye had not known each other for long, she knew that he was angry, and very angry.
Fang Yuxin frowned slightly. She actually felt a little hungry. The food here was good, so she would eat it. But Bai Ye was obviously angry. She hesitated for a moment, then decided to follow Bai Ye's instructions and nodded.
Li Qingyun had no time to eat, and only drank a glass of wine. She had been busy all day, and only ate a little in the morning and at noon, so she was very hungry now, but she didn't say anything. When she saw Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin were leaving, she stood up without hesitation.
Guan Rong saw that it was not good, but he also saw that Bai Ye was jealous. He could not ask them to stay, so he said, "Wait a minute! You haven't had time to eat yet, how about I ask someone to prepare some food for you to eat on the way?"
Bai Ye did not refuse this time. It was obvious that Guan Rong was trying to please him and test his attitude. If he refused, these people would probably think too much. It would be better for him to just agree to it. He would not suffer any loss anyway.
Now in the end times, it is not like peacetime, food is very precious, not to mention that he will not be polite to Guan Rong, even if those big guys present can take it away, they will definitely not be polite! There is no question of whether it will be embarrassing or not.
Anyone who tries to pretend to be strong is an idiot!
Guan Rong was relieved when he saw Bai Ye nodded, and so were the other big guys. Guan Rong quickly gave the order, and soon someone came out with a large food box.
The food box was quite large and of a classic shape, probably something from a specialty restaurant. Bai Ye took it with one hand, nodded to Guan Rong and the other big guys, and then took Fang Yuxin away. Li Qingyun followed them expressionlessly, and only after leaving the villa did she let out a long breath.
The three of them got in the car, left the community, and then stopped at a secluded roadside. They placed the food boxes layer by layer on the tables and chairs, took clean bowls and chopsticks and started eating.
After all, the three of them were all supernatural beings, and they were still in the safe zone, so they ate the meal very quickly. Before long, the three of them had finished all the food in the lunch boxes.
Fang Yuxin thought the lunch box was pretty and couldn't bear to throw it away, so she put it in the back seat of the car. She looked at the time and found that it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and her brows furrowed.
Li Qingyun sighed and said, "It's already so late...Xinxin, the gate to the safe zone won't be open at this time. Let's find a place to rest first and leave tomorrow morning."
This was not what Fang Yuxin had expected at the beginning. She had thought that after finding the person, if Li Qingyun refused to leave, she would say goodbye to Bai Ye directly, and if she wanted to leave, he would take her away. Unfortunately, she really didn't expect to meet Guan Ren, that idiot, and have a dispute with the Honor Mercenary Group. Although the matter was resolved later and the two sides shook hands and made peace, time was wasted.
Bai Ye patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "Let's do it this way. It's so late now. Even if you go out, there must be a lot of zombies outside."
Zombies at night were much more active than during the day, and would approach the safe zone. If they went out at this time, even if they could force someone to open the door, they would still have to face a huge number of zombies, which was really not worth it.
Fang Yuxin heard this and knew that now was not a good time to leave, so he could only sigh helplessly and said to Li Qingyun: "In that case, take us to the hotel here."
Li Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "Not far from here, there is a Liyun community. The houses there are in good condition, and many people with special abilities choose to rent houses there. The houses there are all rented by the day, and the rent is not too high. Let's go there."
After all, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye were not impressed by this place, so after hearing her say that, they nodded in agreement.
They drove and soon arrived at the Liyun Community mentioned by Li Qingyun. Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye took a look and could not see anything from the outside, so they did not know what the situation was like inside.
There are also guards at the gate of this community, three times more than the community where Li Qingyun lives, and the entrance fee is also higher. If there is no ID card, each person needs to pay three primary crystal cores, which adds up to nine.
Fang Yuxin handed over the crystal core, asked the guard where to rent the house, and went straight in. The rented house was not far from the door, in the first building after entering the gate, and the sign was hung on the balcony on the first floor, probably for the convenience of people passing by to see it.
When the three of them passed by, a faint orange-yellow light was emanating from the balcony. It didn't look like an electric light, but more like a candle.
"Excuse me, is anyone here? We want to rent a house." Li Qingyun called out, and soon the three heard someone yawning. Then, with a "swish", the curtains were drawn open, and a woman stood inside. She glanced at them through the guardrail and asked lazily, "What kind of house do you want to rent?"
Li Qingyun glanced at Fang Yuxin, and Fang Yuxin said, "It's a three-bedroom room, just clean."
The woman yawned again, then said, "I know. It's in this building, 7th floor, room 702. Thirty primary crystal cores a night. If you want them, I'll give you the key after you hand over the crystal cores."
Thirty crystal cores are not much for them, but at this price, ordinary psychics probably can't afford it. Fang Yuxin didn't say anything, counted out thirty primary crystal cores, spread them out in his hand to show the woman, and asked, "Where's the key?"
The woman was surprised to see them being so straightforward, and couldn't help but look at them. However, she was very quick, and while looking at them, she didn't forget to take out the key.
The two parties handed over the crystal core and the key respectively. Fang Yuxin took the key, nodded at her, and turned to go to the corridor with Bai Ye and Li Qingyun.
This house is an elevator apartment, but unfortunately the electricity is tight now, so it is impossible to take the elevator. They can only climb the stairs. It is already very late, and the corridor is quiet, without any sound. The three of them went all the way to the 7th floor, walked to the door of Room 702, took the key to open the door, Fang Yuxin took out a wolf eye flashlight from her bag and turned it on, and found that the house was decorated in Mediterranean style, which was both warm and romantic.
The house didn't seem to have been renovated for long, probably within a year. Few people had lived here since the end of the world, so it looked very clean, but it had been vacant for a while, and the smell in the house was not very pleasant.
Fang Yuxin used a dust-clearing technique, and Li Qingyun and Bai Ye only noticed a sudden gust of wind in the room, and then the unpleasant smell disappeared, and the air became fresh.
They didn't open the window. After carefully locking the door, Fang Yuxin set up formations on the doors and windows, then went into the bathroom, took out a large bucket of water from the space, took a simple shower, changed into clean clothes, and took two more large buckets of water. After leaving, he said to Bai Ye and Li Qingyun, "I have prepared two buckets of clean water in the bathroom. Go take a shower."
After she finished speaking, she went straight into the master bedroom.
All three rooms in this house have beds, and although they are of different designs, they are the same size. The master bedroom is just better decorated than the second bedroom, but there is no difference other than that.
The three of them had already divided the rooms, with the master bedroom for Fang Yuxin, and the two secondary bedrooms for Bai Ye and Li Qingyun. After Fang Yuxin entered the room, he remade the bed, took out his pillow and put it on, and couldn't help but let out a long breath the moment he fell down.
Although she didn't need to sleep now, since she couldn't go out for the time being, instead of practicing miserably in the car, she might as well find a place to have a good sleep.
Her practice has reached the peak of the late stage of Qi Refining, and she is not yet able to build a foundation. There is no point in rushing to practice. It is better to lie down and take a nap calmly. Perhaps a blessing will come to her and she will succeed in building a foundation.
Fang Yuxin smiled at his own naive thoughts, pulled the thin quilt over himself, smelled the long-lost faint tea fragrance on the pillow, Fang Yuxin sighed with contentment and closed his eyes.
Bai Ye waited until Li Qingyun finished showering before entering the bathroom. Due to limited conditions, he could only use cold water to wash, and there was no shower gel or other things that would waste water, so there was naturally no mist or shower gel fragrance in the bathroom. Bai Ye hurriedly finished his shower, and when he came out, he couldn't help but glance at the master bedroom. Thinking of Fang Yuxin sleeping in it, he suddenly felt a little dry in the mouth.
The next moment, he was stunned by the image in his mind. His face flushed, he cursed himself, walked quickly into his room, closed the door, and fell on the bed. There was a cool mat on the bed, and the slight coolness calmed his restless body.
Bai Ye scratched his wet hair in venting anger. For the first time in his life, he felt that he was so dirty.
The night was cool and quiet, with not even the sound of insects, as if the entire community had fallen into a deep sleep. However, in a corner of the shantytown in the safety zone, a person was standing in front of a house, banging on the door hurriedly, shouting, "Sister Zhao! Sister Zhao! Come out quickly! Please save us! Sister Zhao! Please!"
