Chapter 595 Topic Shift
After burying the ashes, Luo Yan did not stay any longer. He spoke to Xi Qing under the peach tree to comfort her for a while, and then he said goodbye to her and left after brushing his favor.
He said that there was something important going on in the Conferred Gods recently, and as the deputy leader, he could not be absent. He had finally squeezed out some time to come here to bury He Yuanqiu, and now that the matter was over, he would hurry back.
Xi Qing asked him to take care of himself, and then reluctantly watched him leave.
In fact, Luo Yan was not there because of something, he was hiding from Yun Shuhuai.
He thought about it carefully these two days, and always felt that Yun Shuhuai was really a little weird that day.
Because of her words, he became so passive that he told several lies in a row to avoid revealing his true colors in front of Xi Qing.
If he continued to stay with Yun Shuhuai, he was really afraid that she would ask something else.
Therefore, it is best to stay away from her now, and wait for a while until things calm down a little before talking about it.
Yun Shuhuai sat on a chair and looked at Luo Yan's back as if he was fleeing in panic, with a sneer on his face.
After Xi Qing sent Luo Yan away, she stood quietly under the peach tree.
Yun Shuhuai asked the other two to leave first, letting Xi Qing calm down under the tree, and he asked them to return to the villa.
In the villa, all the boys of Chiye are gone. They either went to the store or went out to kill zombies nearby, leaving no time for themselves.
This is because they are supported by Yun Shuhuai, and they have good food and drink every day. They feel bad about it, so they want to find something to do whenever they have free time.
Moreover, Yun Shuhuai is always there every time they go out. Without her assistance, they would not be able to get so many crystal cores, and even upgrade all the people of Chiye to the seventh level.
It can be said that most of this is Yun Shuhuai's credit. As the leader's wife, she can do such hard work. Others are really embarrassed to lie down.
Besides, Yun Shuhuai was going to break through to the ninth level, so everyone worked very hard, trying to earn as many crystal cores as possible to contribute to the great cause of the leader's wife.
Yun Shuhuai also told them not to be so anxious, but no one listened. They just had to do what they had to do and bring her a lot of crystal cores every day.
But recently, there have been fewer and fewer of them. I think this group of seventh-level psychics are harvesting zombies outside the base like plowing the land. The zombies nearby are almost killed by them.
Yun Shuhuai's energy gems have also been depleted very quickly recently. Several members who know stones even went to a faraway place to dig a large piece of agate for Yun Shuhuai, but they were severely criticized by Yun Shuhuai.
Because they left without permission, one member was seriously injured. His arm was broken, with only a little skin left. Others were also injured to varying degrees.
After returning to the base, Yun Shuhuai treated them and scolded them at the same time.
Fortunately, they were only flesh wounds. If they were injured by zombies, they would not have survived to come back.
Later, she warned everyone again that if they encountered something large and inconvenient for them to carry, they should remember its location and come back to tell her. She
also reprimanded them, saying that providing crystal core upgrades was not for them to play with their own lives.
In order to punish those people, they were forced to stay in the store to watch the store these days, which made them almost bored to death.
There were no men in the villa today, so it seemed particularly quiet.
Yun Shuhuai set up a table by the window with the best view in the living room, just in time to enjoy the beautiful weather with the girls from Chiye.
But after a while, Cheng Jiayi came over.
She walked in with Xi Qing, saw them drinking tea, and pulled a chair over to sit down without any hesitation.
Shao Qi saw that the room was full of girls, so he sat outside and waited.
"Hey, Chief Cheng, how come you have time to come here today?
I thought you were very busy these days." Cheng Jiayi took a sip of the scented tea and let out a breath, "I just came back from my work. I saw that you guys are in a leisurely mood and are even scattering flower petals in the yard. If someone doesn't know, they would think someone is getting married... What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
After Cheng Jiayi finished speaking, she noticed someone winking at her.
Yun Shuhuai said dimly, "It's not because someone is getting married, but Xi Qing is burying the ashes of her deceased junior sister."
Cheng Jiayi's face froze for a moment, "Uh... sorry."
Xi Qing smiled gently and said, "It's okay, I've let it go, the junior sister is also buried, she loved peach blossoms the most when she was alive, and she would be happy to see others appreciate peach blossoms."
"That's good." Cheng Jiayi patted her chest, thinking that she had offended someone, and then she thought of something and asked again, "By the way, this junior sister you are talking about, could it be He Yuanqiu, isn't she..."
"Cough cough cough!!!"
Before Cheng Jiayi finished speaking, Yun Shuhuai pretended to cough and interrupted her, and winked at her vigorously.
Cheng Jiayi was not a fool, and combined with the things Yun Shuhuai asked her to investigate, she immediately understood what she meant.
"Chief Cheng also knows my little sister?"
When Xi Qing asked, Cheng Jiayi changed his words and said, "No, I just heard of her. She was once a person close to the deputy leader of the Conferred Gods, so we also paid some attention to her. We only know that she and Luo Yan were childhood sweethearts, and later died of illness."
"Is that so..."
Xi Qing was a little disappointed. She thought she could find out something about the little sister's past.
After Cheng Jiayi finished speaking, he glanced at Yun Shuhuai to make sure that he had not said anything wrong.
Although he didn't know why, it seemed that Yun Shuhuai was deliberately hiding this girl.
In order to avoid talking about this matter again, Yun Shuhuai changed the subject. She looked at Cheng Jiayi and said, "How is the progress with your father recently?"
"Thanks to you, everything is fine."
At this point, Cheng Jiayi smiled proudly, "The recent cooperation with the H City base has been very fruitful. They provided us with the formula of the enhanced agent, and we are also speeding up the research and development. Due to the problem of raw materials, only a little has been produced so far, which can only arm a small number of members. I have been very busy recently because I went outside with them to find materials. However, before the next corpse tide comes, it should be able to be provided to all the combat members of the base."
"So fast." Yun Shuhuai exclaimed.
"Of course, we have retained quite a few scientists here. After the end of the world, they were unemployed and could only make a living by doing some work like ordinary people. Now their skills can finally be put to use. How can they not be happy? They work day and night."
