Chapter 682 Ancestral Hall
Cheng Jiayi had always thought that she could be ahead of others in the world to the greatest extent possible, relying on the advantage of rebirth, even as a special type of superpower.
But after meeting Chi Ye and his group, she realized how naive her thoughts were.
There is no shortage of people working hard to survive in this world, and Chi Ye and his group just happened to be together.
Cheng Jiayi was silent for a while, then said, "Then I wish you all the best out there."
"Thank you, we will."
Then Cheng Jiayi hurriedly asked her, "Will you come back? We'll see each other again in the future, right?"
Yun Shuhuai said, "Yes, when we get tired of staying out, maybe one day we'll think about coming back to take a look. But the premise is that you can defend this base."
"Really?!" Cheng Jiayi's face lit up, "Then we have to work harder to develop it. We can't let you come back to see only ruins, hehe."
Yun Shuhuai smiled helplessly, "It's not that exaggerated. After all, we've experienced two corpse tides, and the base has developed so fast during this period of time. I believe it will be safe in the future."
"Hehe, that's also for your good wishes."
Maybe because they were about to part, Cheng Jiayi kept talking to Yun Shuhuai for a long time, and Yun Shuhuai didn't show any impatience, nor did he sneak away while Cheng Jiayi was asleep.
The two of them just leaned on each other and fell asleep like ordinary good friends.
At about eight o'clock the next morning, Yun Shuhuai was still woken up by Cheng Jiayi.
She woke up from the wide bed yawning, and Cheng Jiayi lay on the bed and looked at her with a smile.
"I didn't expect you didn't run away." Cheng Jiayi said.
Yun Shuhuai smiled and said, "Why? Do you want me to run away?"
"No." Cheng Jiayi pouted and didn't mention it again, but said, "Shall we have breakfast together?"
"Yes."
Cheng Jiayi's breakfast was very rich, because she had the space, so she could always eat normal food before the end of the world.
But just when they were eating, there was a commotion at the door. It turned out that Xi Ling broke in.
Cheng Jiayi held the spoon in his mouth and said speechlessly, "Oh, he really is worried about you."
The people at the door got the leader's signal and did not stop him. Xi Ling walked straight over, glanced at Cheng Jiayi without saying a word, and then sat next to Yun Shuhuai.
"Have you eaten?" Yun Shuhuai asked him.
Xi Ling said, "We've eaten, and everyone is ready. We can leave at any time."
Yun Shuhuai nodded, ate a fried egg in a few bites, and drank the lean meat porridge. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked at Cheng Jiayi and said, "Do you need to check the house?"
Cheng Jiayi waved his hand, "No, I'm still confident in you. Are you leaving now? I'll ask my brother to see you off." "
Okay." Yun Shuhuai did not refuse. They would come anyway.
Before noon, Chi Ye packed up all his things and was about to leave.
Not only Cheng Jiayi and his sister came to see them off, but General Cheng also came.
"Captain Xi, Miss Yun, I wish you a safe journey."
Xi Ling said, "I'm grateful for your good wishes. I also hope that your base can continue to develop for a long time."
Cheng Jiayi stepped forward and hugged Yun Shuhuai. When they were about to say goodbye, her tears still flowed uncontrollably.
"You said you would come back later, right? Don't lie to me."
"I won't lie to you, I will come back." Yun Shuhuai patted Cheng Jiayi on the back soothingly and
said, "I look forward to seeing you next time." Cheng Jiayi sniffed and said, "Don't worry, we will stick with you until the day you come back."
Yun Shuhuai laughed and said, "Haha, why do you make it sound like we're parting forever? We still have a satellite phone. Just call me if you miss me."
Cheng Xiuyi also stepped forward and said, "Ms. Yun, thank you very much for your help to the base during this time. We haven't given you anything in return yet. We didn't expect you to leave."
There was regret between his words.
Yun Shuhuai said: "As for rewards, then no need. While helping you, we also get corresponding rewards. We do these things for ourselves, and we are also happy to provide assistance to the survivors. Oh, by the way, we will also observe this world outside, and if there are any noteworthy discoveries, we will also contact you."
"Thank you very much, and have a safe trip."
The 19 people of Chiye took a total of three cars and drove out of the gate.
On the top of the city wall, everyone leaned over to look at the distant Chiye, and Cheng Jiayi couldn't help crying again.
Shao Qi remembered what Yun Shuhuai said last night, and he mustered up the courage to hug Cheng Jiayi.
Cheng Jiayi leaned on him and burst into tears. He tightened his arms and gently patted his lover's back.
Chi Ye's vehicle left the base, drove onto the dilapidated road, and headed further south.
Their first destination was Xi Qing's hometown.
Although Xi Qing's hometown was a small place before the end of the world, it was prosperous enough. Two years after the end of the world, that place actually disappeared in the jungle.
Huge vines and trees are all over this once bustling town, and broken walls are interspersed among the branches.
Everyone followed Xi Qing up and down in the woods, and with her careful identification, they finally found the location of the troupe.
Xi Qing dug out the plaque with the three big characters "Wenjinyuan" from a pile of debris.
"It's here." She said.
Everyone looked, but they didn't see any troupe. The main body of the building had been destroyed by thick vines, and only four pillars were still standing there.
But even though this place had become a pile of rubble, Xi Qing was still very familiar with everything here.
She walked to the residence of her former brothers and sisters with ease, dug in the ruins, and found many familiar things.
Each one brought back endless memories for her.
As she was digging, a person came over to her side. It was Du Hao. He came over and accompanied Xi Qing to dig.
Xi Qing stopped, dropped what she was holding and said, "No need to dig, there's no need to dig, I was just moved by the scene, you're all fine, that makes me look hypocritical. Let's go after we put the tablets, help me find my family's ancestral hall."
The ancestral hall was blocked by a bunch of plants. Of course, after Ye Zixu helped to clear those plants, what was revealed was also a pile of ruins.
Xi Qing picked and chose inside and found the tablets of her ancestor and master.
The climate here is very humid, and they have been corroded beyond recognition.
Fortunately, Xi Qing had already prepared a new tablet.
She turned around and said, "Can you help me build a small house on the spot? I want to put these tablets in it."
Yun Shuhuai was surprised and said, "You spent so much time making the tablets yourself, don't you plan to take them with you?"
"No, life has to go on, right? I can't always be immersed in the past."
Yun Shuhuai walked over and patted Xi Qing on the shoulder and said with relief, "I'm glad you can let it go. Leave the construction of the ancestral hall to me."
After that, Yun Shuhuai used her new spatial ability to put a brand new Chinese-style ancestral hall on the spot.
Green tiles and white walls are the common architectural style here.
"Wow! Has your ability evolved to this point now? It's too buggy." Xi Qing exclaimed as she looked at the brand new building.
She had thought that she could simply build a small square house on the spot using her earth-related abilities, but she didn't expect Yun Shuhuai to directly build her an authentic ancestral hall.
The others were also stunned at the building that appeared out of thin air.
Yun Shuhuai nodded, "This building is made of solid materials and can be preserved for a long time."
Then she placed the box of tablets prepared by Xi Qing in the ancestral hall.
Xi Qing stepped forward and said gratefully, "Shuhuai, thank you."
"You're welcome, it's a piece of cake. Go and place the tablets. Aren't you going to introduce Du Hao to your master and others?"
Xi Qing blushed, and then quickly pulled Du Hao inside.
It was not easy for the others to disturb them, so they stayed outside and prepared to tidy up the surroundings.
Although Xi Qing said that she might not come back after placing the tablets, this place is still her hometown after all. If the newly built ancestral hall is destroyed by mutant plants soon, it will be a loss.
So everyone cleaned up the surrounding plants and hardened the ground.
Ye Zixu weaved branches and vines into a dense net to prevent them from growing wildly.
Ye Ziwan was a little closer and buried some toxins against plants in the ground, so that no plants would grow for a long time.
