Chapter 34 No, is she sick?
The base was built very solidly, with walls made entirely of various steel and metal materials.
The gate that humans entered through faced away from the sea; the gate that faced the sea was less a gate and more a battlefield.
The base was built on high ground, a design originally intended to withstand the ocean, but unexpectedly, it has now been hit by floods, which is exactly what happened.
Once inside the base, the lifeboats were no longer needed. Ling Ran, wearing high heels and a beautiful white dress, would have been perfectly normal in the pre-apocalyptic world.
But now, with her all clean and tidy, and a 'servant' holding an umbrella beside her, she looked like a young lady on an outing, attracting a lot of attention.
There were many people at the entrance of the base, and Ling Ran immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Not far away, a boy in his early twenties had just finished exchanging things when he looked up and saw Ling Ran wearing sky-high heels.
No, is she sick?
The boy muttered something under his breath, but there was an undisguised envy in his eyes.
After all, those who dare to dress like this either have enough power or enough background; others might want to dress like this, but they wouldn't dare.
Of course, this still couldn't stop him from complaining.
The boy quickly returned to his residence and saw a boy cooking seafood porridge in the small kitchen, looking bitter and resentful.
"Brother Xiu."
The boy walked into the kitchen: "Guess what I saw when I went to change something?"
Upon hearing the boy's words, Pei Xiu immediately turned his gaze to his hands: "Instant noodles, you actually got instant noodles! You can have this porridge, I'll eat the instant noodles."
"That won't do, Brother Xiu, let's split it in half." The boy immediately refused.
After a long struggle, Pei Xiu, as the eldest, received seven-tenths of the pancakes, while the remaining three-tenths went to the younger brother.
After cooking the noodles, Pei Xiu asked, "Zhou Hang, what did you say you saw?"
"Brother Xiu, I saw a woman at the base entrance. You'd never guess what she looked like!"
"What can she be like? Two eyes and one mouth, that's all. What? Does she have an extra eye and become Erlang Shen?" Pei Xiu replied casually, his eyes fixed on the noodles in the pot.
"...Can you guess properly?" Before Pei Xiu could guess any further, Zhou Hang couldn't help but speak first: "The woman was wearing a beautiful white dress and a pair of high heels. There was an older woman holding an umbrella for her. She was very clean and tidy, like a young lady on an outing."
"No way, is she crazy? A dress is one thing, but wearing high heels? She's practically asking for trouble!"
Pei Xiu had seen many women in the base. No matter how delicate or powerful a woman was, she was at most a little clean. Even if she did wear a skirt, it was always a very conservative one.
In the post-apocalyptic world, women without power easily become playthings for men. The base is full of women who deliberately pretend to be old or ugly.
"Who says otherwise? I think so too. I saw she was with a military unit, so she must be the daughter of some leader at the base."
Pei Xiu said enviously, "Alas, I used to think I was born into a good family, but now I realize I was too hasty. Those who were born into good families now are the ones who are truly fortunate."
As he spoke, Pei Xiu couldn't help but think of his half-sister.
She's socially anxious and so petite; she probably won't survive. Even if she does, I'm afraid...
Ling Ran, who was on Pei Xiu's mind, was currently registering for an access pass in the hall where identity verification was being processed.
It's simple; they gave me a digital watch, which I swiped when I entered. The base has water, electricity, and internet, but you need to pay a certain amount of crystal cores to use them.
