Stealing the medicine was not difficult.
Once you've found the right canary, just wait patiently.
For her first operation, Li Yue chose the nearest Cape Base.
Li Yue will personally go to identify it, and Li Qiusheng will cooperate with her to ambush near the Canary. Shan Hua will keep an eye on the Five Star Company, and Zhu Guanshan will be outside the base to provide support at any time.
The only difficulty in this matter lies in Li Yue's identity.
Li Qiusheng's supernatural ability allows her to go anywhere without hindrance. Shan Hua, backed by the Xintian Gang, naturally has multiple false identities to use.
Only Li Yue needs to be checked before entering the city. If she enters the city using her real identity, Guan Wuji will probably notice immediately, and she will have no way to escape.
To solve this problem, Li Yue first needs to change her identity. She bought a fake identity through a forum, but she has to wait a while before she can receive the watch that includes the fake identity.
Having finalized the plan, Xia Chuhe temporarily put aside Li Yue's matter and instead considered the future development of the food and amusement park.
The original plan was for the food court to feature an amusement park-themed dungeon, with animal husbandry as its economic pillar.
However, building a legion now is an extremely expensive undertaking. While animal husbandry is profitable, it involves competition with the trading market and Dream City. Having a unique industry would undoubtedly yield higher profits.
Xia Chuhe set his sights on those few acres of land on the farm.
Running dungeons and upgrading your farm to double your land area are reliable ways to accumulate wealth.
But her offering of so much land all at once was too conspicuous; she needed to find a way to mitigate the impact.
Another point is the city's name. Because it's next to a food and amusement park, it wasn't a big deal that it was originally called Food City.
But now that we have a proper legion, can we still call it the Food Army?
In the future, we'll be composing military songs. Are we going to have them like the French army's "Onion Song," where soldiers march in formation and shout:
I like fried onions, I like delicious onions.
Xia Chuhe shook her head. No, no. She came up with a few names in her mind, thinking she would finalize them at the meeting tomorrow.
Thinking about the name, Xia Chuhe dragged 02 to find 123 to see if they could make a mechanical body for Xiao Ai to use.
Xia Chuhe had already told everyone what happened in the instance, and 02 and 123 also knew about Xiao Ai's existence.
02 shook his head with difficulty: "The wasteland once had a glorious mechanical age, but due to some reasons that did not survive, many technologies were lost. The existing technology can only assist human actions. It is very difficult to create a perfect mechanical body."
Xia Chuhe had a headache. If he had known this would happen, he should have brought Mingxiang's body parts with him in the romance scenario. Maybe if they could be restored, they could be used by Xiao Ai.
123, however, had a different opinion: "Although we don't have this technology, the higher-ups might, and there's also Xiao Ai... I can read the chip first and see if any key technologies are recorded in it."
Both 02 and 123 are highly loyal, and Xia Chuhe completely trusts them, so he temporarily entrusts the chip to 123 for safekeeping.
123 grabbed a reader at random and inserted Xiao Ai's chip into it. Just two seconds after connecting it to the processor, the reader started smoking.
“The data is huge, I’ll switch to a different reader.” 123 didn’t take it seriously.
However, the next three consecutive burning readers proved 123 wrong.
There was no solution in the short term, so Xia Chuhe had no choice but to give up for the time being.
Undeterred, 123 kept Xiao Ai's chip, vowing to read Xiao Ai's information.
Things kept going wrong, which made Xia Chuhe feel frustrated, and he couldn't even muster the energy to eat dinner.
Just when Xia Chuhe thought things couldn't get any worse, she was met with today... no, not just today, she was met with the biggest blow she had ever suffered since she transmigrated.
Lu Danggui expressed his intention to leave.
The night was deep, and a ring of fires was lit outside the camp.
Lu Danggui pointed to a place a little further away, trying to avoid talking to Xia Chuhe.
Just as they were about to leave the ring of fire, Xia Chuhe pulled Lu Danggui's hand, telling her to stop immediately, while he went ahead to scout the way.
After confirming there was no danger, he lit a small spark on his fingertip and waited for Lu Dangui to come over.
"Sit down," said Lu Dangui.
Xia Chuhe sat down as instructed, recalling the task he had taken on from Five Star Company a few months ago: hunting mutated plants and encountering the blue grass.
In that moment of emptiness, she almost blurted out about time travel.
Lu Dangui rarely initiated conversations with her, which made Xia Chuhe subconsciously uneasy.
So she spoke first: "I saw you die in the dungeon. I asked you if you had any wishes... What would you have said?"
"I...I hope everything is well for you, and that everything goes smoothly for you."
In the darkness, Xia Chuhe gave a somewhat bitter smile. Lu Dangui's answer was so similar to the one in the dungeon.
Now, Xia Chuhe finally has the chance to ask that question: "And what about you? What about yourself?"
“Me? My wish…” Lu Dangui’s voice was very soft, soft enough for Xia Chuhe to hear her breathing.
After a long while, Lu Dangui finally said, "I hope you will stop advancing, stop building legions, stop fighting against the higher-ups, stop here, and become an ordinary small city lord."
Xia Chuhe's heart sank.
She had long noticed something was off about Lu Dangui, whether it was Lu Dangui's background or his choice to follow her all the time, yet her name wasn't in the follower's handbook...
But Lu Dangui was the first person she met when she arrived in the wasteland, the person who saved her life several times, and the person who risked his life for her time and again.
To some extent, Lu Danggui was Xia Chuhe's spiritual pillar.
It was precisely because of Lu Danggui's existence that Xia Chuhe was able to quickly adapt to life in the wasteland, to continue on his path with determination, and to have the courage and confidence to enter the dungeon time and time again.
Now, Lu Dangui wants to stop what Xia Chuhe is going to do.
Xia Chuhe forced a smile and asked, "Are you worried about me?"
“Yes, I was worried about you.” Lu Dangui admitted without hesitation, “I am grateful for the Hell of No Love. If you hadn’t been interrupted and had chosen to continue toward the Temple of the Heavenly Saint, everyone would have died there. Except me.”
Xia Chuhe still clung to a sliver of hope: "How could that be? Even if we die, we'll die together, won't we?"
Xia Chuhe brought up the events of the loveless hell again. Before, she was just stating the facts, but in front of Lu Dangui, she began to express her own feelings.
"It's a good thing you didn't die. When I saw you die in the dungeon, I wished I were the one who died. You have no idea how happy I was to come out and see you still alive..."
Lu Dangui interrupted her: "You can rest assured, I won't die. I lied to you. My special ability has never been purification; that's just a tool I use. My special ability is creating clones."
“Even if this version of me dies, another version of me will live on, and she will remember you, remember everything we went through,” Lu Dangui said.
