When Fang Qingdai returned to the shantytown, she was immediately surrounded by several familiar members.
"Where did you go, Qingdai? We couldn't find you after the battle yesterday, we thought you..."
It was Uncle Lu who spoke. He looked Fang Qingdai up and down several times, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she had no wounds.
Fang Qingdai is fine, but Uncle Lu injured his hand and is currently in a sling around his neck!
The other team members were also injured to varying degrees, which shows how intense the battle was yesterday.
"Thanks to you for drawing away about ten people, the pressure on us has been greatly reduced. We won! A resounding victory!"
The team members were all very happy. They had dealt a heavy blow to the enemy forces and seized a lot of weapons and equipment. Now everyone was beaming with joy.
"By the way, how's it going with those guys chasing after you? How did you shake them off?"
Fang Qingdai hesitated for a second before choosing to conceal the truth: "I hid in the sand to avoid it, and only dared to go back after dawn today."
As she spoke, she patted her chest with relief, looking as if she hadn't quite recovered from the shock.
The spatial water attracted the killer vines; everyone could see it, it couldn't be hidden.
No one doubts that plants have an innate tendency to move towards water.
But now that it can even attract mutated rats, Fang Qingdai guessed that it must be a unique ability of the spatial water, something that ordinary Grade A water sources probably couldn't do.
As a result, Fang Qingdai dared not mention the space water any further, for fear of arousing speculation among the crowd.
As for having used it once before...
Fang Qingdai sighed. Fortunately, she had thought it through from the beginning and attributed the water source to the internal channels.
There was still a man lying in her own space, so Fang Qingdai didn't dare to linger. After getting a general idea of what happened last night, she made an excuse to go home and see Qingluan first.
Back near their own shack, they saw Qingluan standing on tiptoe at the door, looking around, with Aunt Lu beside her.
Upon seeing Fang Qingdai, Qingluan immediately called out, "Sister!"
The little girl wasn't very tall, but she ran incredibly fast, rushing towards Fang Qingdai like a little cannonball.
Fang Qingdai pulled the person into her arms and noticed that Qingluan's dark eyes quickly filled with tears.
"Sister! Why didn't you come back last night? Were you in danger?"
The little person's voice was choked with sobs, and their body trembled slightly. The worry in their big eyes had not subsided, clearly indicating that they had been living in fear all night.
Aunt Lu followed over and said helplessly, "Qingluan barely slept last night. She was startled awake by the slightest noise. She was very worried about you!"
Fang Qingdai's heart skipped a beat, feeling somewhat annoyed at her behavior of not returning home last night.
Qingluan is too young and very dependent on me. She has also experienced the incident of almost being sent away, so her sense of security is already weak.
Yesterday, my actions shattered the little girl's hard-won sense of security!
Fang Qingdai felt guilty. After thanking Aunt Lu, she hurriedly took Qingluan home.
After calming Qingluan down and coaxing the little girl to sleep, Fang Qingdai couldn't wait to look at the man in the space.
The man remained lying quietly on the grass, his ropes and blindfold intact.
Fang Qingdai wasn't sure if he was awake or not.
After moving the man out of the space, Fang Qingdai could only place him on the ground, as Qingluan was already lying on the small bed.
As soon as I put the man on the ground, I heard him say, "Thank you."
Jing Yi had actually been awake for a while.
Upon waking up, he noticed the unusual nature of his surroundings.
That kind of clean air is something you can't find in the wasteland.
The sound of flowing water and the fresh scent of grass also amazed him.
He guessed that he was in his benefactor's space, and the feeling of being bound and restrained made him realize that his benefactor did not want him to see the scene inside the space.
So Jingyi lay quietly without moving, enjoying this rare comfort.
Fang Qingdai was stunned when she heard the voice, then reached out and pulled off the man's blindfold.
"Keep your voice down, my sister is sleeping."
After adjusting to the light, Jing Yi quickly surveyed his surroundings.
He heard a small sound from the bed and obediently lowered his voice, saying, "I know."
Jing Yi then took a closer look at Fang Qingdai and was quite surprised to see that the person who had saved him was a slender young girl with an exceptionally gentle and obedient appearance.
Fang Qingdai's appearance was so deceptive that Jing Yi couldn't understand how such a seemingly obedient girl could have the courage to venture into a high-radiation area.
Fang Qingdai lowered her voice: "Behave yourself, what are you looking at so suspiciously? Do you want to live?"
Fang Qingdai saw the man's eyes looking around, finally settling on her face, so she growled fiercely.
Saving him could bring immeasurable trouble.
If the man is still dishonest, then Fang Qingdai will have to reconsider whether she wants to get involved in this troublesome situation.
Jing Yi paused for a moment, then silently retracted his previous thought.
In the wasteland, one cannot judge a book by its cover; he was careless.
Fang Qingdai took out the empty bottle of Yunnan Baiyao, used her skill to replenish the medicine inside, and gave Jing Yi a quick cleaning of his wounds.
Thinking of the 10,000 points Jing Yi had promised, Fang Qingdai gave Jing Yi the C-grade potion she had bought from Uncle Lu last time.
Jing Yi silently watched Fang Qingdai grope his body. Although he knew she was treating his injuries, he couldn't help but feel a burning sensation on his cheeks.
"I can do it myself..."
Before he could finish speaking, a medicine was rather unkindly shoved into his mouth.
Jing Yi almost choked on the medicine, but he forced himself to suppress his cough for fear of waking the little girl in bed.
After swiftly treating Jing Yi's injuries, Fang Qingdai gazed into the shack, lost in thought.
Jing Yi's enemies are not simple. Fang Qingdai saved him, but she didn't want too many people to know, so she used her spatial ability to smuggle him directly into her home.
His injuries will likely take some time to heal, meaning he will inevitably have to stay in the shack, living and eating with the Fang Qingdai sisters.
The small shack was about five or six square meters. It contained a bed and some miscellaneous items such as jars. Now, Jingyi was lying on the ground.
The shack was so crowded that there was nowhere to stand!
Fang Qingdai had long been fed up with this dilapidated and cramped little house. Now that she had some points, Fang Qingdai immediately decided to expedite the construction of a new residence!
Building brick houses in the shantytown is obviously impractical, as the site does not allow the construction of immovable buildings.
Although the shack was fixed in the ground, it could be easily dismantled with a little force.
Fang Qingdai only planned to build a slightly larger shack, so that she and Qingluan could at least move around freely.
Having made up her mind, Fang Qingdai checked the ropes binding Jing Yi to make sure they were secure enough before turning around and going out to find someone.
When Fang Qingdai heard that she wanted to rebuild a shack, Zhang Chengjie looked puzzled: "Building one again and again will only result in a shack. Isn't it enough for you two sisters to live in? Why do you need to build a new one?"
Fang Qingdai knew that people in the wasteland didn't care much about quality of life, and it was hard to explain, so she simply said nonchalantly, "I like living in new houses!"
Zhang Chengjie was speechless, but since Fang Qingdai was paying for it herself, he didn't interfere much and nodded in agreement to her request to build a house.
