Chapter 74 Another New Character
Yang Luoliu felt uncomfortable when he heard Ye Yiyi asking questions as usual, and regretted why he didn't wake Ye Yiyi up to let her know what he had done.
Fortunately, Ye Yiyi didn't wake up and didn't know, because the interweaving of two emotions made Yang Luoliu's face show rare fatigue and sadness.
Ye Yiyi naturally noticed it because she was close to him. Just as she was about to ask Yang Luoliu what was wrong, she saw her forcedly curl her lips and smile.
"I'm a little tired from fighting zombies this morning. It's okay."
Ye Yiyi's eyes widened.
"Sister, aren't you kidding me? Can your body handle it?"
It was the first time someone cared about her body and Yang Luoliu's eyes trembled. No, it seemed that all her happy first times were brought by her.
Thinking of this, the sourness in Yang Luoliu's heart miraculously disappeared without a trace, and her fatigue also subsided a lot, because she didn't want to make Ye Yiyi worry.
Then he spoke with a smile.
"It's okay. I just upgraded and I'm full of energy. I can rest in the afternoon."
Ye Yiyi would never believe this, but there was nothing she could do if Yang Luoliu didn't tell the truth.
At this time, the food was ready. Ye Yiyi was really hungry, so she didn't think too much and pulled Yang Luoliu to sit down and eat.
After dinner, Yang Luoliu already had his own room, so he naturally didn't go to Ye Yiyi's room.
Just thinking of the things in his room, Yang Luoliu called Ye Yiyi.
He seemed to know that Ye Yiyi would not follow him to his room, so he simply asked Ye Yiyi to wait for him at the door.
But in a moment, a crystal core wrapped in a snake skin was placed in front of Ye Yiyi.
While Ye Yiyi was stunned, Yang Luoliu spoke.
"I collected this in an afternoon. I thought you might need a crystal core as well."
After hearing this, Ye Yiyi wondered how she knew that she was short of crystal cores, but she couldn't think of how the system had exposed itself.
Thinking that he was indeed short of crystal cores, he accepted the things without hesitation.
However, he didn't let Ye Yiyi take it. After all, the bag was quite heavy. Yang Luoliu helped Ye Yiyi put it in the room and then returned to his own room.
Looking at the crystal cores on the ground, Ye Yiyi felt uncomfortable. She had the illusion that she had been asked to charge into battle to help her collect the crystal cores and now she was being asked to return the favor.
Finally, Ye Yiyi shook her head and put this weird idea behind her. Thinking that the current system also had mysophobia, she simply took a nap in the morning and went to the bathroom to clean the crystal core that Yang Luoliu had taken.
I just didn't look carefully when I went out, and now when I look at it again, Ye Yiyi always feels that some of the furnishings in the bathroom seem different.
However, Ye Yiyi just thought she was overthinking it and simply cleaned the crystal core without any accidents.
Nothing happened in the afternoon. At most, Yan Nanyu wrote down what Chen Jingyu had done in the notice board, and if those psychics who died had family members, they could go and collect their belongings on their behalf.
The entire base was bustling with activity throughout the afternoon. Everyone was discussing this matter, except Ye Yiyi and her group, who were not interested at all.
After dinner in the evening, everyone went to rest and nothing happened.
For the next few days, Li Wanwan and Yang Luoliu were outside collecting crystal cores, but Ye Yiyi didn't know why they didn't call her.
But now she was too weak to rush over, but every time she came back, Yang Luoliu would give her the crystal core, leaving Ye Yiyi confused.
But thinking about it, the system accepted it without any resistance.
It wasn't until the third day that the system opened its eyes and met Ye Yiyi's surprised gaze that the system became reserved for a moment.
"Host, do you miss me?"
Ye Yiyi coughed and didn't say anything, but pointed to the crystal cores in the corner. The system was so happy to see the crystal cores piled up in the corner that it almost jumped up. It floated to Ye Yiyi's cheek and rubbed it before happily going to collect the crystal cores.
Yang Luoliu discovered it when he came back after the system woke up, but he didn't show it. When he went out to clean up the zombies the next day, he took Ye Yiyi with him.
Just kidding, if it weren't for Ye Yiyi's safety, Yang Luoliu would not be willing to leave Ye Yiyi for a moment.
Ye Yiyi didn't think there was anything wrong. She was just tired of staying at the base and was naturally happy to go out.
When everyone returned home after a busy day, they found Yan Nanyu standing at the door waiting for Yang Luoliu and his group.
"Miss Yang, you're back."
As soon as he got off the car, Yan Nanyu walked up to talk to Yang Luoliu.
"What's up?"
Yang Luoliu didn't have anything good to say to Yan Nanyu, so when she saw him coming over, she just asked directly.
Seeing Yang Luoliu being so cold, Yan Nanyu was not angry but felt happy instead.
"I think Miss Yang should know that I am not able to manage the entire base by myself. Miss Yang's ability and strength have been witnessed by everyone in recent times. I came here to sincerely invite Miss Yang to be the second-in-command of this base. I wonder if Miss Yang is willing."
After saying this, Yan Nanyu looked at Yang Luoliu with a cold face and then added more weight.
"Miss Yang, you don't have to refuse so quickly. You can go with me to see the base's warehouse first. Besides, the base is already complete, so you don't need to work too hard. You can consider it carefully."
It’s no wonder that Yan Nanyu rushed over to recruit Yang Luoliu. It’s true that F City does not only have this one safe base.
Yan Nanyu was really afraid that Yang Luoliu would become dissatisfied because of the past events and be recruited by another base, which would be a loss.
After all, in this dangerous apocalypse, only those with strong personal strength can stand firm, and this is true for people as well as for bases.
If it were someone else, they might have agreed without hesitation. After all, although the second-in-command of a base may still have to go out to fight zombies and face danger, it is much better than being alone. As long as there are people under his command, he doesn't need to do anything at all, and he doesn't have to worry about food and clothing.
But Yang Luoliu had no interest in these things at all. After all, Yang Luoliu had no worries about food and clothing now, and was about to refuse with a cold face.
Yan Nanyu seemed to see that Yang Luoliu was going to refuse, so he gritted his teeth and spoke quickly.
"As long as Miss Yang is willing, Yan is also willing to give up this position, and all his subordinates will obey Miss Yang's command."
Li Wanwan and the others were stunned when they heard Yan Nanyu's words. They really didn't expect anyone to give up their power so quickly. Instead, this made them feel a little uneasy.
After all, Yan Nanyu looked like he was throwing away a hot potato.
It’s no wonder that Li Wanwan and the others thought too much. They have become more cautious after experiencing what happened with Chen Jingyu.
So as to avoid being sold out in this last days and still helping others count money.
The reason why Yan Nanyu was so anxious to find someone with strong capabilities was mainly because of the blame left by Chen Jingyu.
The base lost most of its combat power because of Chen Jingyu. Especially for the base that now has the ability to operate independently, it is like a hot cake just out of the oven. If it does not have the strength, it will be swallowed up by other bases in a short time.
In the apocalypse, it is not uncommon to rob resources and people, especially in this small city of F, which has three large bases, not including those built by the government, not to mention four small bases.
So Yan Nanyu had to say this. Letting Yang Luoliu be the boss would not only stabilize the current situation of the base but also allow him to have a second-in-command.
But if Yang Luoliu doesn't agree, once other bases know about what's happening here, she might not even be able to be a member of the management team.
Yan Nanyu would naturally not be happy to see the base he had built with so much effort being taken away by others.
Yang Luoliu wanted to refuse, but after thinking about the interests involved, she decided not to refuse Yan Nanyu.
"I won't be in charge of the warehouse, and I don't want to be the boss. I just want power."
After all, he had been the third-in-command of the base in his previous life, so he naturally knew the pros and cons.
Yan Nanyu was not happy to see that Yang Luoliu agreed. After all, he was afraid that Yang Luoliu would say something excessive. But when he thought about how long it had been, although Yang Luoliu was a little arrogant, he was not a presumptuous person.
"Okay, you say it, I promise."
Seeing Yan Nanyu agreed to Yang Luoliu, he smiled faintly, but the smile disappeared in a flash and he returned to his original coldness.
"My right is to mobilize everyone in the base, including you. As for other things, I am not interested. As long as you transfer the personnel to me, that's all."
Yan Nanyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Yang Luoliu's words, thinking it was some big deal.
Seeing that Yan Nanyu did not refuse, the two of them reached a tacit agreement.
"In that case, when will Miss Yang move back?"
After all, the red house shows status.
But Yang Luoliu shook his head and refused.
"No, I'm fine living here. Besides, I'm talking about mobilizing all the people in the base. Living here also means I can get closer to them."
After hearing what Yang Luoliu said, Yan Nanyu had nothing to say. After all, this was Yang Luoliu's business, but he still spoke before leaving.
"Then from now on, you won't need to buy any meals with crystal cores. You can just pick them up in the cafeteria."
Yang Luoliu raised her eyebrows but did not reject Yan Nanyu's words. She nodded and was about to leave when someone called Yan Nanyu's name in the distance.
Seeing this situation, it was obviously not appropriate for everyone to stay where they were. Seeing people coming, Yang Luoliu and his group prepared to leave.
But the person who came called out to Yang Luoliu.
"Wait, wait, Miss Yang, Miss Li, this matter is for you."
The person who came was obviously an insider, because Yan Nanyu asked the real questions on behalf of Yang Luoliu and his group.
"What's the matter, Tang Lin?"
Seeing that everyone was there, Tang Lin finally spoke.
"Someone just came to the government base. He said he was Lin Haihua and wanted to meet the base leader and Miss Yang."
Tang Lin finished speaking in one breath, and everyone looked at each other in surprise.
But he didn't dare to let Lin Haihua wait any longer. After all, Yan Nanyu was used to being the boss, so he spoke quickly.
"Where is the person? Take me there quickly."
Tang Lin nodded quickly and spoke.
"I've been invited to the conference room. Let's go, boss."
Yan Nanyu nodded quickly and was about to leave, but not long after he started walking, he thought of Yang Luoliu behind him.
When Yang Luoliu saw him looking at her, she turned around and whispered something to Ye Yiyi before she followed Yan Nanyu away.
What she meant was that Ye Yiyi and the others should wait for her, and she would be back soon, and they should remember to leave some food for her.
In response, Ye Yiyi and Li Wanwan looked at each other, curled their lips, and went up, but they were not very curious.
After all, Yang Luoliu will definitely tell Ye Yiyi when he comes back. He is already tired after fighting zombies for a whole day, and he has been standing down there for so long. Now he wants to go back to take a shower and wait for dinner.
After everyone finished taking a shower, there was no rush to cook. After all, since Lin Haihua had already arrived, they thought Yang Luoliu would be back later.
But just as everyone had finished packing and sat down to rest, Yang Luoliu came back.
Seeing that there was no smell of food in the room, he figured out what was going on. Seeing that Ye Yiyi had already washed him clean, he spoke.
"Then I'll go wash up first."
After saying that, he left.
He waited until the meal was over before speaking slowly.
"The government later discovered a lot of supplies in the supermarket at the Baiyuan Resort. Since we discovered it first and eliminated most of the danger, the government feels we deserve a share. Tomorrow we'll go to the government-built safe base and retrieve the supplies."
As for why they didn't transport it here, Yang Luoliu didn't say anything and the others didn't ask. Obviously, they believed Yang Luoliu and thought that there must be other things that required them to go there in person.
When Yang Luoliu saw that everything had been explained and there was nothing else to do, he went downstairs. However, when he saw Ye Yiyi walking straight towards him, he couldn't help but forcefully move in several times.
But Yang Luoliu didn't dare, because after observing for the past few days, the squirrel on Ye Yiyi's head seemed to have very strong abilities and could take Ye Yiyi away from him in an instant.
Therefore, Yang Luoliu did not dare to act rashly. Even if he had some thoughts in his mind, he could only suppress them forcefully.
She kept reminding herself not to worry, that it was okay, that she had endured humiliation before, and that it was okay.
When I couldn't bear it any longer, I would cut myself with a knife to force myself to calm down.
In this way, the relationship between the two became that of normal friends, and Ye Yiyi was no longer as resistant to Yang Luoliu as she was at the beginning.
The next morning, everyone gathered in the open space of the base, ready to go to the base built by the government.
This group of ten people were the only remaining internal staff, and Ye Yiyi saw many familiar faces among them.
Not to mention Xuanyuan Aotian and the people living on the same floor, Ji Qing is also there.
Apparently, Yan Nanyu had already told them about Yang Luoliu's current identity yesterday. I wonder what Ji Qing was thinking.
But her expression was not very good when she saw Yang Luoliu and his group. She had no choice but to obey orders.
However, no one paid much attention to Ji Qing, and the group set off in a mighty manner.
There weren't many zombies blocking the road, perhaps because Lin Haihua had cleared them out when he came and left last night.
In a short while, the group saw the majestic gate of the base, standing there like an ancient wall.
When we got closer, we found that there was a four-meter-wide moat around the base, and there was only a suspension bridge made of steel bars in the middle for passage.
But even so, there was still a group of people queuing up to enter the base, and Yang Luoliu in the first car also saw Lin Haihua who had been waiting on the side.
In front of him stood a dignified and tall man in military uniform, who looked to be in his thirties or forties. There was no smile on his face, and he carried the full majesty of a superior.
