Chapter 159 Familiar Feeling

Ye Zixu squatted in an open space, looking down at the ashes of the mutant plants that had been burned to ashes.

Yun Shuhuai walked over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Ye Zixu pointed at the ashes on the ground and said, "This is delicious."

"Huh?" Yun Shuhuai was confused by this. Can plant ashes be eaten? How could she not know.

Ye Zixu said again, "Xiao Huang said this is delicious."

Xiao Huang is the name of dodder. Yun Shuhuai knew that wood-type mutants have a unique way of communicating with their partner plants. Maybe this pile of ashes is a great supplement for Xiao Huang?

She sensed it, but there was nothing in these ashes. It was almost like soil. It might be good to use it to grow flowers, but dodder is not cultivated in soil.

"Xiao Xu, do you mean that Xiao Huang wants to eat this mutant plant?"

Ye Zixu looked at her and nodded, "In the morning, I was playing with Ye Ren's brothers. They showed me the part of the mutant plant that they were going to take back to submit the task, and Xiao Huang was a little excited to eat it."

"Is that so? Maybe he encountered a supplement that can improve himself, but there is nothing we can do. Your brother Xi killed it without leaving a trace. If the remaining part is eaten, there will be no way to report. If the part of the plant is still there after we go back, I will let your Xiao Huang eat it. How about that?"

Ye Zixu was very happy to hear this, "Thank you, Sister Yun!"

There was nothing to see here. They only stayed for a few minutes and drove away again.

Two hours later, they finally arrived at their destination.

Yun Shuhuai had never been to this small city. The cities she had visited before were all on the route between City T and City H, but this city was not on that route.

Yun Shuhuai parked the car on the road at the edge of the city and did not go in. It was getting late, and they didn't know what the situation in the city was like. It was not safe to go out at night, so they should wait until the next day.

However, while it was still light, they went to several factories around the city, killed some zombies, and collected a lot of things.

When night fell, the four of them camped in a building, and Yun Shuhuai released a large RV, which was just big enough for four people to live in.

Now that they had come to an unfamiliar new city, they had to be cautious.

It is already autumn, and the temperature at night is a bit low.

After a sumptuous dinner, Yun Shuhuai turned on the air conditioner in the RV to heat up the room so that it would be more comfortable to sleep.

At night, Yun Shuhuai and Xi Qing took turns to keep watch as usual. Ye Zixu and Ye Zilao were too young, so Yun Shuhuai did not use child labor. However, Ye Zixu still spread his dodder everywhere. Although the energy sensing accuracy was not as high as Yun Shuhuai's, it was also an added layer of insurance.

Yun Shuhuai kept watch for the first half of the night. She sat on the roof of the car, scrolling through the screen boredly.

She wrote down everything Xi Ling told her during the day. This was her habit. She recorded strategies or clues when playing games for easy reference later.

Speaking of which, after meeting Xi Ling in the morning, they actually talked so much that they talked until noon without realizing it.

Xi Qing also complained about how talkative she was, and Yun Shuhuai suddenly felt that she seemed to talk a little too much to Xi Ling every time she met him.

The main reason was that it felt very comfortable to chat with this person, so he talked more unconsciously.

Xi Ling was not as cold as she remembered in her previous life. He was kind to others, and he never made trouble despite his strong strength. He was very straightforward in transactions. Yun Shuhuai liked this the most. Compared with Lu Jingyu and Qin Ye, Xi Ling was simply too good.

Although it might be because he was so kind to her because she saved his life, Yun Shuhuai didn't care no matter what the reason was. Having one more big friend in the base would mean more security.

However, Yun Shuhuai always felt that chatting with Xi Ling seemed familiar. She could talk to him about any topic, and he would not interrupt her. He would joke along with her, respect her, care about her, and trust her. This feeling was like... like Lu Jingyu in her previous life?

No, that's not right. Yun Shuhuai shook her head violently and rubbed the goose bumps on her arms. Why did she think of him? It was too different.

She liked Lu Jingyu in her previous life and she really liked this feeling, but Lu Jingyu obviously treated her like that with a purpose. When he learned of her betrayal, he abandoned her without even checking. Ha, it was too different from Xi Ling.

This is obviously more like... Ling Ye.

Is it him? Yun Shuhuai suddenly became uncertain. The last time she contacted Ling Ye was a year ago. She just said a few words to him and deleted him after giving him a reminder. They didn't chat much. The real daily contact with him was before the end of the previous life. It has been four years in this life and past life. She has experienced so many things in the meantime. She is not sure what the feeling was like.

She hated Lu Jingyu's kindness to her in the laboratory before her death in her previous life. It seemed that all the care, trust and respect were his pretense.

But after living a new life, Yun Shuhuai found that she still fell for it, but the object became Xi Ling.

Since she became stronger, she could more and more compare the gap between the two people. The biggest difference was that she and Xi Ling were on equal footing, and the two were communicating on the same level. In her previous life, she could only be a weak person in front of Lu Jingyu, passively accepting his kindness. Now that their positions were reversed, she realized that Lu Jingyu was not worthy of being compared with Xi Ling.

In any case, Xi Ling was indeed a friend worth making. This was the second time she had this feeling.

Yun Shuhuai looked up at the starry sky and thought, she didn't know if Ling Ye had survived after listening to her hint. Even if he didn't take those outrageous words to heart, he would at least keep an eye on him. If he was still alive, would he be in the base?

There were many faces in the base that he had never seen in this life. Maybe he was in there too. Did

Yun Shuhuai ever think about looking for him? She didn't know. She didn't even know if that person was alive.

So let it be. She hadn't thought about him for three years in her previous life. Now, she suddenly remembered this person because she felt his shadow from Xi Ling. In the four years since the end of the world, any kind of feelings can be worn away. The throbbing she once had had had long gone with the wind. Now she doesn't want to think about anything. She just wants to kill monsters and level up and live a good life.

Yun Shuhuai rocked on the recliner and looked at the new things written on the tablet.

She suddenly realized in surprise that Xi Ling and Ling Ye not only have similar personalities, but also similar names. If Xi Ling and Ye Ren each take one character, wouldn't it be Ling Ye?

Yun Shuhuai sat up suddenly and wrote these words on the tablet.

By the way, is this the character "Ling" in Xi Ling?

She widened her eyes and looked at the circled characters on the screen in shock and confusion.

No way, how can it be such a coincidence?
