Chapter 31 Preparing to Leave
After breakfast, Tong Zhuo quickly cleaned up the dishes and put them in the kitchen to wash, and Du Luoqing came out with a rag to wipe the table.
Ji Yuan sat at the dining table and skillfully made a cup of black tea for everyone. The tea set was a brand new one she found during the last time she collected supplies. At that time, she also collected a lot of different kinds of tea. Of course, they were not kept here by Ji Yuan. Those were all placed in Lin Xiyue's Pisces space. She only had black tea here. This was a rare moment of leisure for them since the end of the world.
The water was still the Lingxi water in Lin Xiyue's Pisces space. Ji Yu'an took out a set of tea sets, cleaned it briefly, put in an appropriate amount of black tea leaves, poured the boiled Lingxi water into the teapot to wash the tea leaves, and then poured in Lingxi water. After the tea leaves were soaked, he poured red tea into ten small brown cups.
Ji Yuan first pushed a glass to Gu Qinghan and said jokingly, "Boss Gu, you drink first. Thank you for accepting Xiyue, and thank you for giving me a wife."
"You're welcome." Gu Qinghan's mouth twitched unnaturally and he said through gritted teeth.
Du Luoqing, who was sitting nearby, stepped hard on Ji Yuan and threatened, "There are children here! Do you know your limits? If you keep talking nonsense, you'll sleep in the villa next door tonight."
Ji Yuan grimaced in pain and had no choice but to stop serving tea. Lin Xiyue continued to help her push the water to the other teammates, "It's a rare moment of leisure, you guys drink!"
Tong Zhuo finished the cup of black tea in one gulp and placed it on the table. "Sister Xiyue, what should we do next? Lu Ling said the truth behind the apocalypse might be man-made. Should we continue investigating?"
Lin Xiyue remembered that in her previous life, she stole the R virus potion from the Ark base. Wherever there was the potion, there must be all the information about the end of the world, including the forces behind the conspiracy of the end of the world.
At first, she just took out the potion and did not carefully check the other information in the laboratory. It seems that they have to go to the Ark Base.
Lin Xiyue put down his teacup and thought seriously. "I think we need to investigate further. Since it could be man-made, there might be a huge conspiracy behind it."
Gu Qinghan nodded in agreement. "That's right, Xixi. We can't just sit there and wait for death. And if we can find the mastermind behind the apocalypse, there might be a way to end it."
Du Luoqing also expressed his support, "Then where should we start next?"
Ji Yuan stroked his chin, "Did Lu Ling mention any useful clues before? Let's discuss it first."
Lu Ling tried to recall, "I remember that Xia Country currently has five official bases: the island base near Yucheng, the Nan'an base, the northern boat base in Xinjiang, the capital base, and the Tibet base. These places must be related to scientific research bases and seem to have relevant information, but they are also very dangerous. There may be many high-level zombies there."
Lin Xiyue's eyes were firm. "We have to go even if it's dangerous. In order for everyone to return to normal life, we have to go this time."
Liu Feifei operated the tablet in front of her, checking the zombie data surrounding the major bases and the safe routes. Her fingers slid back and forth on the tablet nimbly, and she said in a very serious tone, "The closest base to us is the island base in Yucheng, 100 kilometers away. The base there is built on an island, and we need to take a boat to get there. And if the boat is on the sea, we don't know what we will encounter."
Hearing this, Lin Xiyue nodded, "Well, I have the boat. Go prepare your personal belongings now. Remember to bring your own weapons. We will set off in 15 minutes."
"Also, after you've packed up everything, I'll try to take the Star Base away with me. After this is done, we'll find a place deep in the mountains and forests to hide."
After listening to Lin Xiyue, everyone went back to their rooms to pack their things. In addition to two sets of clothes, the rest of the military backpacks were filled with dry food, bread, compressed biscuits, canned beef, some simple bandages, hemostatic patches, alcohol, cephalosporin, amoxicillin... and most importantly, weapons.
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Xiyue stood at the entrance of the Star Base. Behind her stood nine teammates who were wearing the same military green uniforms as her, carrying military green backpacks and holding weapons. Gu Qinghan, holding a Tang sword, stepped forward and said in a worried tone:
"Xixi, they are all here. Try to see if you can fit them into the Pisces space. If not, just take a few houses inside."
Lin Xiyue nodded, "Yes, I understand, wife."
At this moment, Tong Zhuo couldn't help but scream in her heart, "Ah...it turns out that the couple she's supporting is real. Sister Xiyue actually calls Sister Qinghan his wife."
Don't be fooled by Tong Zhuo's stern face like an old cadre. Before the apocalypse, she was a fan of yuri novels. Lin Xiyue and Gu Qinghan are both super beauties, and they fit the dual female protagonists in all the yuri novels she has read.
Oh, there is another good couple, Ji Yuan and Du Luoqing. What kind of team did she join? She ships two pairs of CPs every day. It feels so happy!
Liu Feifei looked at Tong Zhuo, who looked like he was infatuated, and felt helpless: "That's enough, Tong Zhuo, if you can't close your mouth, your saliva will start to flow out! The character you promised is going to collapse."
Qin Baobao chuckled and said, "Hey! Feifei, don't talk about the dormitory leader. She only likes this kind of thing. In fact, I also think that beautiful women are pleasing to the eyes when they are with beautiful women. Just looking at them will unconsciously make you feel better. Sister Xiyue, Sister Qinghan, Sister Xiaoyu, and Sister Xiaoluo are so beautiful. They are really paired with stinky men. It's like putting flowers in cow dung."
"Okay, stop arguing, you're disturbing Sister Xiyue!" Wenjun persuaded.
Just as the thought flashed through Lin Xiyue's mind, her left hand, like a nimble butterfly, gently caressed the closed door of the Star Base. Instantly, a miracle occurred—the Pisces tattoo on the back of her left hand suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light, like a rising sun, instantly enveloping the entire mountaintop in a brilliant glow.
The light was like a vast net, encircling the mountain from top to bottom with lightning speed, leaving no gaps. In the blink of an eye, the three towering peaks, the rippling lake, and the several houses of the Star Base all vanished without a trace, as if under a spell, under the illumination of this light, leaving only a vast expanse of empty plain.
Seeing this, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but feel a surge of worry. She was worried that the mountain she had placed in the Pisces space was too large and would crush the objects inside. After all, everything happened so quickly that she didn't even have time to observe carefully. So, she turned to her teammates and said, "I'm going to go in and see what's going on inside to see if anything has been crushed. You wait here for a while."
Gu Qinghan felt a little disappointed after hearing what Lin Xiyue said. She actually wanted to enter that mysterious space with Lin Xiyue. After all, they had had countless intimate encounters. Could it be that Lin Xiyue still didn't believe in her love for her?
She could sense the slightest emotion in someone who cared about her. For example, when Lin Xiyue knew that Gu Qinghan was feeling down, she took two steps back, took Gu Qinghan's hand, interlocked their fingers, and felt the slightly cool temperature in her hand. She said gently, "I'll see if I can take you to the Pisces space, okay, honey."
"Well, okay, okay." Gu Qinghan said with a choked voice.
Gu Qinghan was happy not because she really wanted to go to her Pisces space, but because Lin Xiyue had her in her heart and cared about her feelings at this moment, which was much more important than anything else.
"Thank you, Xixi." Gu Qinghan smiled slightly.
