"W-what...elopement?!"
Ruan Tian was stunned; she almost bit her tongue as she spoke.
Bai Chulan's expression remained unchanged as he quietly turned to look at Ruan Tian, indicating that he had already made up his mind.
"Let's escape from this cage together."
To outsiders, the C City survivor base, which everyone envies, is actually rife with corruption.
If Bai Chulan continued to live here for another day, the disgust in his heart would make him feel utterly nauseous.
Ruan Tian stroked her chin: "We do need to escape, but aren't you afraid of Madam?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Chulan smiled coldly, raised her hand to hook the dog collar around her neck, her voice revealing no emotion:
"It's not fear, it's forbearance."
Before being driven mad, Bi Wan was a good mother for several years, giving Bai Chulan a lot of care and love.
The real trigger that caused the relationship between the two to deteriorate was that Bi Wan forced Bai Chulan to kill that precious object.
Bai Chulan also went mad; he was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would kill his wife with his own hands.
She did make mistakes, but she was forced into a political marriage.
In terms of blood relation, Bi Wan and Bai Chulan share the same blood.
Even though Bai Chulan hated Bi Wan, that hatred was mixed with some complex emotions.
Most importantly, the lady wants to take advantage of the next Red Moon Tide to use the crystal core to improve her ability level.
Once mental abilities are enhanced and developed, they can become extremely terrifying.
Moreover, Bai Chulan also knows the secret that the lady is hiding.
If he doesn't leave now, he'll never have another chance to escape.
"Alright, let's run away together!"
Ruan Tian readily agreed, smiling as she grasped Bai Chulan's wrist, revealing her adorable little tiger tooth.
[Congratulations, host Ruan Tian, for gaining 20 points of gratitude from Bai Chulan and 20 hours of survival time.]
Upon hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar system notification, Ruan Tian almost burst into tears.
finally!
This was the first time she had received gratitude points from Bai Chulan since she met him.
Ruan Tian's eyes were filled with tears, and she tightened her grip. If it weren't for the iron bars, she would definitely have clung tightly to Bai Chulan's leg!
Is this the legendary "rarely open for business, but when you do, you live off it for half a year"?
Bai Chulan didn't expect Ruan Tian to be so emotional, but she was already used to Ruan Tian's nonsensical behavior.
"Brother! You are my own brother! From now on, I will go through fire and water for you, even if it means climbing mountains of knives!"
Bai Chulan: "...Actually, it didn't have to come to this."
Ruan Tian had already knelt down on one knee before Bai Chulan, clenched her fist, placed it over her heart, and said firmly:
"Young Master Bai! This old servant is willing to offer his heart to you. Please grant my request! I am willing to follow you to the death!"
She was in high spirits, and not content with just that, she enthusiastically added:
"From now on, young master will eat the strawberry tips, and I'll eat the strawberry leaves; young master will eat the watermelon flesh, and I'll eat the watermelon rind; young master will eat the chicken meat, and I'll eat the chicken butt!"
Bai Chulan sighed and rubbed his forehead, knowing that Ruan Tian was addicted to acting.
"Alright, get up. I'll tell you about the next steps in the plan."
As soon as Ruan Tian heard that they were getting down to business, she immediately sat up straight and listened carefully to the details of the plan.
"The base has two entrances. Entrance A is used to defend against zombies, and entrance B is the logistics organization used to treat the wounded. Our goal is to escape through entrance B."
But... how do we escape?
I need a means of transportation.
"There are cars in the base, but it's almost impossible to take one freely."
Bai Chulan racked his brains for a solution, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find the optimal one.
Unless you can conjure a vehicle out of thin air...
Just thinking about it made Bai Chulan chuckle, a hint of mockery in her voice:
"How could there be such a coincidence?"
"Wait! I have a plan!"
Ruan Tian suddenly realized that her stroller hadn't been upgraded yet.
In front of Bai Chulan, she immediately summoned the small cart and said to the system in her mind:
Upgrade immediately!
System: [Yes, host.]
A layer of white smoke appeared on the old cart, accompanied by a "clattering" sound.
The sound was a bit eerie. Bai Chulan pressed his hand against the iron fence, ready to break it down immediately if there was any danger and protect Ruan Tian.
One minute later, the smoke gradually dissipated.
Ruan Tian rubbed her hands together, her eyes sparkling, her whole being filled with anticipation!
What will the little cart eventually look like?
She's had enough of the backbreaking labor of pedaling a bicycle. Now she's undergone a second transformation, becoming a super luxury car with four wheels!
Ruan Tian was so excited that her body trembled as she envisioned a wonderful future.
When the smoke completely cleared, she was shocked to see the car's true appearance after it had been modified, and her emotions became extremely complicated.
"Well..."
That's an upgrade, I guess.
This time, the system gave Ruan Tian another small stool, this time yellow, with the same ugly rabbit face.
Ruan Tian subconsciously reached out and wiped the rabbit's face. Good, that half of the face remained on Ruan Tian's index finger.
She immediately grabbed a cloth and wiped it clean, unable to resist complaining to the system:
"System, you clearly have strange tastes! You always insist on giving me this cheap little stool!"
Moreover, it seems that he intends to collect all seven colors of the rainbow for Ruan Tian.
System: [Host, don't you like it? I thought you'd be happy.]
Ruan Tian: "Can you see clearly? Is there even a hint of happiness on my face?"
The system paused for two seconds: [I caught the host's lips curving upwards by 5 degrees just now.]
Ruan Tian quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense, you're ruining my reputation!"
The system confidently concluded: [Host, you're feeling guilty.]
Ruan Tian: "I don't understand what you're saying."
She unilaterally severed her connection with the system and began to wander around the newly upgraded cart.
The little cart has been given a makeover; it finally has electric wheels!
However, instead of four wheels, it became... a small tricycle.
The paint on the exterior of the tricycle is a clean white.
The design was quite unique, but Ruan Tian wasn't satisfied.
Bai Chulan also got a clear look at the electric tricycle. His lips twitched. He never expected that an electric tricycle would actually fall from the sky.
The system seemed to sense Ruan Tian's dissatisfaction and reappeared, explaining to her:
[Host, this is an electric tricycle custom-made for you, named "Snow White".]
Upon hearing this, Ruan Tian choked on her own saliva and asked in disbelief:
"Ahem, an electric tricycle named Snow White?"
The system didn't find it funny:
With such snow-white skin, beautiful eyes, and a virtuous temperament, how could she not be Snow White? Such fair skin and beauty—it's just that you, host, don't know how to appreciate aesthetics.
The "beautiful eyes" the system was referring to were the two enormous headlights on the front of the electric tricycle.
Now it was Ruan Tian's turn to have her lips twitch, and she muttered a complaint under her breath:
"You can actually eat this? System, you must be really hungry!"
