After making up her mind, Xia Chuhe notified the others in the group to buy weapons, while she took Bao'er to buy clothes and customized various daily necessities that Wang Yan had not thought of.
Even the nameless people felt a pang of sadness at Bao'er's departure, and 02 hugged Bao'er again and again.
Xia Chuhe said helplessly, "Aren't you going to come to the courtyard later? It's not like we won't see each other again."
"You lazy older sister don't understand, Bao'er is so well-behaved and smart." 02 stroked Bao'er's neatly dressed clothes again and again, "When I go to the courtyard, I'll bring you some nice things, Bao'er, you must remember to miss your older sister!"
Bao'er nodded emphatically: "I will, and I will miss Teacher, 03, and 123 too!"
Despite her reluctance, Bao'er still insisted on going with Xia Chuhe.
After purchasing the necessary items, you must undergo a check by the guards before leaving the base.
Xia Chuhe looked at the base gate from afar and gave Bao'er one last "scare": "Are you really sure? Once you register your identity and leave the Caishi Base, it won't be so easy for you to come back."
Bao'er patiently assured him once again that she wouldn't regret it.
Xia Chuhe patted her shoulder, thinking to himself that Bao'er had a really good temper, unlike him.
If Xia Qingxue were to repeat the same thing over and over again, Xia Chuhe would have already sprawled on the sofa, covered his head with a cushion, and said, "I'm not listening!"
...
The two slowly walked towards the base gate.
Because Xia Chuhe frequently visited the Caishi Base, and on several occasions was accompanied by her steward, many of the guards had a deep impression of her.
Seeing that she had a child with her, one of the guards suddenly remembered: "Have you found your sister?"
Xia Chuhe nodded without saying anything more.
The guard reminded her, "She's quite young and still needs to go to school."
"Yes, we just found her recently. I'll take her out to stay for a few days first, and then send her to school when we get back to the base," Xia Chuhe said.
After dealing with the guards, the two successfully left the base.
Where Xia Chuhe couldn't see, Xia Bao'er turned her head and flicked her eyelids at the guard. It was a grimacing gesture she'd seen in a book, meant to be sarcastic.
The guard was puzzled: "What's wrong with her?"
His companion blinked hard: "Who knows? Maybe my eyes are uncomfortable."
...
Over the next two days, Xia Chuhe conducted simple tests on Bao'er's literacy and physical abilities.
Bao'er does well in her academic subjects, knowing more idioms than the average wastelander. However, she's not very good at science; she can only do basic math calculations, and she's only learned a few common concepts in physics and chemistry.
To Xia Chuhe's surprise, although Bao'er was small in strength, she was very agile and had an exceptionally fast reaction speed. Lu Dangui specially made some mud balls to "attack" Bao'er, but she managed to dodge most of them.
Xia Chuhe finally believed that Bao'er really meant it when she said she wouldn't hold anyone back.
Before setting off, Xia Chuhe called 02 to the courtyard to repair the car, the top-of-the-line luxury car that he had seized from Jin Zhong, which was even sturdier than Boss Xin's car.
02 brought Bao'er a gift: a suit suitable for combat and a combat pack with a space-folding function.
"Keep it safe. Your teacher has asked me for it many times, but I couldn't bear to give it to him." 02 hadn't said more than a few words to Bao'er when her gaze was drawn to the luxury car.
Xia Chuhe looked at the gift she brought for Bao'er. The combat kit was the same as the one that Five Star Company had given out before. The clothes were hard to describe, mainly because the number 05 was printed on the back.
02. Muttering to themselves around the luxury car: "This is a great thing. If this car is replaced, I won't have any parts to replace it for you."
02 pounded his fist angrily: "Why is all the good stuff yours! Why is all the good stuff yours!"
Xia Chuhe joked with her, "You can leave your shop behind and come with me. I'll give you a luxury car to drive."
02. Place your hands on the car and feel the charm of the machinery: "Trying to trick me into being your free driver? No way!"
02 She used her supernatural abilities to inspect the car, and her smile slowly faded. She crawled under the car, fiddled around for a bit, and pulled out something about the size of her palm.
02 Chong Xia Chuhe made a shushing gesture, took out a small black box from his combat pack, put the item into the box, and then said, "A bugging device with a signal transmitter, capable of transmitting the eavesdropped sounds in real time. Judging from the location, the previous driver probably didn't know this thing existed."
Xia Chuhe closed his eyes, thinking about the chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and cows on the farm that never stopped... He had a headache.
If it wasn't Jin Zhong who released it, then who was it?
Does the research institute distrust Jin Zhong? Or does Jin Zhong have another enemy?
Regardless of who it was, this was not good news for Xia Chuhe. The owner of the bugging device could identify the animals Xia Chuhe owned from the sounds, and... knew that Xia Chuhe had a space where he could keep animals.
But no one has bothered her until now. Xia Chuhe is inclined to believe that the research institute put it there, as they should have known long ago that her space could be used to keep animals.
Xia Chuhe's only secrets are the ever-increasing land and the magical seeds.
"Are there any other problems with the car?" Xia Chuhe asked.
“No, it’s a good car.” 02 took out something that looked a lot like a bugging device. “This is for you, a signal transceiver. With it, you can communicate with the base from outside using your wristwatch.”
It's a good product, but you can't buy it without connections.
Xia Chuhe replied, "You've been fixing my car and giving me gifts; I don't have a chance to repay your kindness."
02 waved his hand: "What are you talking about? You saved 123's life. We'll all remember that forever. And those little guys and soccer machines, they all love them."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, 02 said, "Don't you still have farm machinery? Bring it out so I can take a look."
