"I'm so scared." Round tears fell onto Zonghan's collarbone. Zonghan felt a chill on his collarbone, and his heart ached even more.
Only a woman as delicate as her deserves his protection.
"It's alright, it's alright, don't be afraid." Princess Zonghan picked up Yang Meili and took her away amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.
Jiang Wen gritted her teeth as she watched this scene, her hatred for Yang Meili growing even stronger.
The crew-cut man's eagle eyes were icy cold.
Yan Zhi and Wang Wan were standing in the shade, having witnessed the entire farce.
"It's outrageous, it's utterly inhumane," Wang Wan lamented.
"Do you know that woman from earlier?" Yan Zhi asked, guessing, based on Wang Wan's previous behavior.
Wang Wan nodded: "Like the eldest brother, he lives in Qingyuan. I've only met him once. He must have just moved there. His house is still under renovation."
Speaking of Jiang Zhi, Wang Wan couldn't help but say, "I wonder how our eldest sister is doing now. I miss her a lot."
"I don't know if you've heard, but there's a rumor that the base is planning to recruit that Boss Jiang from the base, and they've sent Chen Jun and Li Heng. You should know that these two are Zong Han's confidants."
"Imperial pardon?"
"Didn't we send Hua over last time?"
"Hua You, that guy has probably been killed. I heard he was arrogant and rude and offended Boss Jiang."
"Serves you right! Ugh!"
"That's why I sent these two trusted confidants over there. They said that no matter the cost, we must poach Boss Jiang and not let the Shuofang base succeed."
"Oh~"
The two superhumans walked and talked, and although they lowered their voices, Wang Wan and Yan Zhi still heard them clearly.
Boss Jiang? Qingyuan?
Could it be the boss?
Has the eldest brother returned to Qingyuan?
Wang Wan and Yan Zhi exchanged a glance.
"The most urgent thing is to find your parents. Guangming Base is the largest one between Wancheng and Jiangcheng." Yan Zhidao said.
Although she also wanted to see Jiang Zhi, she decided to deal with the immediate issues first.
If Wang Wan's parents were to survive, they would most likely come to the Bright Base. The reason is simple: Wang Wan is in Jiangcheng, and they would definitely come looking for their son.
But there is another unfortunate possibility: Wang Wan's parents are no longer alive.
Their last conversation was before the signal was cut off. Wang Wan said his parents would come to Jiangcheng and told him to find a refuge with his relatives.
"How do we know that Sister Yan is right?" Wang Wan wholeheartedly agreed with Yan Zhi's words.
He had considered the worst-case scenario countless times, but he still held onto hope and didn't want to give up.
The Bright Base is a base ruled by people with superpowers, and its order is completely different from that of the Shuofang Base.
It could be said that under the rule of superhumans here, superhumans speak with strength, while ordinary people are nothing more than slaves. The Shuofang Base is controlled by the political and military circles, yet it still retains a degree of humanity.
Wang Wan couldn't imagine how heartbroken he would be if his parents had survived but didn't have any special abilities.
Yan Zhi then said, "I've been wandering around this base for three days and still haven't found any trace of your parents. This morning when you were cooking, I found out that the Bright Base is backed by a coal mountain and there used to be an illegal coal mine there. Many ordinary people were forced to mine coal there. We need to go and take a look at that place."
The two rented a plot of land from a superhuman in charge at the Bright Base, only to find that it had been built into a tin shack.
Although the two were of different genders, they didn't care about that now.
After digging a latrine, they conveniently covered it with sheet metal, thus ensuring some privacy.
The base's water supply is controlled by a few people. To get water, you either have to exchange it for supplies or buy it with crystals.
It's not as convenient as the Shuofang base at all.
Although the Shuofang base also controls the groundwater, it does not restrict the disaster victims from finding water on their own, nor does it divide its territory or allow anyone other than itself to set foot there.
They ended up exchanging a red crystal for two large buckets of water, enough to last about a week. To prevent the water from evaporating due to the hot weather, the two dug a hole and buried the buckets underground, using bottles to lift them up when needed.
This also helps prevent theft.
Their luggage was also buried underground, in pits that Wang Wan had painstakingly dug.
His mental abilities have evolved to the point where he can unleash a mental attack, but this attack is currently only effective against mutated beasts and has little effect on humans.
However, he has transformed from a useless player into a mature jungler who can help Yanzhi.
After a period of rest, Yan Zhi and Wang Wan found jobs in Meishan and quickly started working.
Li Heng and Chen Jun also arrived at Qingyuan with a large quantity of metal, which was only about a mile away from Jiang Zhi's shop.
In the evening, Jiang Zhi opened for business. Recently, due to the increasingly hot weather, more and more people have been coming to buy grain, and they are also ordering more.
Most of them are exchanged by combining crystals with metals, which allows you to exchange for more food.
Jiang Zhi spent almost the entire night accelerating the ripening of the grain.
Some people also brought sweet potatoes.
However, although this thing is produced in large quantities, it is extremely heavy.
Ten pounds of sweet potatoes are not as good as ten pounds of rice, except that the remaining vines of sweet potatoes are a rare green vegetable, and the person who exchanges them is quite happy to be able to eat the green leaves.
However, this guy immediately started selling green vegetables at high prices. Seeing the green leaves and thinking about the bare world seen during the day, this touch of green is undoubtedly a refreshing touch of ice and snow in the hot summer.
Someone immediately offered two blue crystals to buy it.
Because of the large quantity, they sold it separately and made a fortune.
Jiang Zhi was both amused and exasperated. She was just a grain seller, and now she actually had a downstream industry.
