Chapter 481 Settlement
Ye Li put down his chopsticks and explained the whole process to Jiang Mei in detail.
"Are astronauts really that powerful?" Jiang Mei asked in surprise, "Even the people in the Holy City can't get rid of them?" After Jiang Mei said this, she glanced at Xiao Xun.
"Yes." Xiao Xun said, "Even we can't defeat them. In front of them, we are like ants."
"Oh my God!" Jiang Mei said in disbelief. "We were just like ants in front of your Holy City. If we were considered as ants in the eyes of astronauts, we would not even be insects."
Ye Li smiled bitterly. "Now, where's the distinction between the Holy City and refugees? Now there's only the distinction between astronauts and Earthlings. They will never let us survive and threaten them."
"Ah? Then aren't we in danger now?"
"Don't worry, the magnetic field here is amazing." Ye Li said, "Electronic equipment will be disturbed. The zombies you saw today were dropped by the helicopter. Of course, even if the helicopter hadn't crashed, they would have left the zombies here to eliminate us."
"Tsk tsk." Jiang Mei sighed, "Those people down the mountain are really getting what they deserve. They insisted on living in that forest so they could rob people who came. Now they've been wiped out by those mutant zombies."
Xiao Xun asked, "Besides your place, are there other people living on the mountain?"
"Yes." Jiang Mei nodded. "They are just scattered groups. The mountain is not big, so it can only be like this. Any group that can avoid the bandits at the foot of the mountain and live in the mountain must be quite capable. Like us, we took your weapons and equipment and marched straight in, choosing this mountain to live. They never dared to mess with us."
After finishing their meal, Ye Li and his group went back to their rooms to rest.
After the intense escape, everyone was now relaxed and extremely tired.
Besides, it is winter now, and there is nothing to do in the fields. Jiang Mei's men all gather together to play games such as chess and cards to pass the time.
Xiaomu and Xixi were so sleepy that they went to bed early to sleep.
Ye Li was just about to close the curtains and take a nap.
"Knock knock!" There were two knocks on the door of their room.
Xiao Xun, who was sitting on the bed, immediately stood up, walked towards the door and opened it.
"Is Ye Li here? I'm looking for her." The person outside the door was Qi Chen, who looked very anxious and uneasy.
"What's wrong?" Ye Li walked over.
Qi Chen squeezed in from the crack of the door. He stared at Ye Li and asked, "When are we leaving for the Holy City?"
"Let's talk outside." Ye Li was afraid of waking up the sleeping Xiaomu and Xixi, so he asked to talk to Qi Chen outside.
Qi Chen immediately turned around and walked out the door, Ye Li followed. The two talked on the balcony. Xiao Xun stood by the door watching, waiting for Ye Li to come back.
"I've thought about it." Ye Li said to Qi Chen, "Our current situation isn't suitable for us to go to the Holy City right away. I've decided to stay and settle down for a while, and then make plans based on the situation."
"Settle down for a while?" Qi Chen said anxiously, "How long is that? It can't be as long as a lifetime, right? You should at least give me a definite date."
"Don't worry," Ye Li said soothingly. "The situation down there is so chaotic, we can't get out. Besides, it's cold, and without enough food and equipment, going out would be tantamount to committing suicide."
"I can't stay here forever. Because of you, I missed the opportunity to go home. You must be responsible for this!" Qi Chen said, "I asked Lin Jia, and he said that as long as you agree, we will set off for the Holy City immediately."
"Can we wait until this winter is over before we leave?" Ye Li pleaded, "I have two children, so I'm not alone."
"Okay, then wait until this winter is over, and you have to keep your word."
"It's a deal."
After much persuasion, Qi Chen was finally sent away.
Ye Li entered the room and fell onto the bed exhausted. "I want to sleep until I wake up naturally."
"Go to sleep." Xiao Xun said beside him, "I will never let anyone disturb you again."
"Yeah." Ye Li responded softly and soon fell into a deep sleep.
