Chapter 152: Digesting the Fullness
Hua Yang raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "He doesn't look too old, and he's quite handsome."
"That's right. I said I don't look that old." Situ Mao breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt like he missed something.
"Just not very smart." Hua Yang didn't say this out loud, but thought to herself. However, Situ Mao brought them out of the quarantine area and treated them to a hearty breakfast. This level of breakfast is nothing in modern times. But in the end times, no matter how much money you have, you can't beg for it.
Staple foods such as flour and millet can be stored for a relatively long time. Many places where rice and grain are stored have good dehumidification and insect prevention measures. Even though it has been more than a month since the end of the world, if you go out to search, you can still find a lot of rice and flour food resources.
But this egg is very precious. Not everyone has a space like hers, where everything can stay fresh and won't spoil.
Eggs are fragile and have a shelf life. They can be stored longer in winter, but the climate in Haicheng is still very hot now, so these eggs may be supplied in real time.
At this time, Xiaobai's satisfied thoughts were transmitted through the mental link.
"So many crystal cores, so many crystal cores, I'll eat them, I'll eat them!"
Hua Yang, with sweat all over her forehead, communicated with Xiao Bai through the mental link: "You foodie, leave some for me! Otherwise, I, your master, will be thrown out soon!"
At this time, Situ Mao seemed to have thought of something to say, and suddenly asked: "Hua Yang, although you are new here, I will not hide it from you. There is another reason why I called you here."
"Don't you just want us to join your team?"
Hua Yang didn't like beating around the bush. Her simplicity and clarity made Situ Mao happy. He looked at Hua Yang with shining eyes and said, "You mean, you agree?"
Uncle Lin Zhengying was performing a magic spell to subdue demons on the screen. Hua Yang sat up straight and looked at Situ Mao seriously.
"I can't join your team."
Situ Mao's face darkened, and he frowned and said, "You have to know that you have offended the other two major forces in the base when you first arrived. If it weren't for my protection, they might come back to trouble you at any time."
Hua Yang looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of trouble?"
Situ Mao suddenly laughed at himself. "In Haicheng, I have never seen a thunder-type. You have a little white tiger with thunder-type abilities, so you really have the capital to not be afraid of anyone. It was me who was reckless."
Faced with Situ Mao's frank response, Hua Yang suddenly grinned, revealing two small dimples.
"Although I cannot join your team, I believe that intrigue and backstabbing are everywhere in this base. I am not afraid of them, but I am afraid of trouble."
Hua Yang's words made Situ Mao's glasses light up immediately.
"So that's you?"
"Let's cooperate. Even if I don't join you today, those two teams will still treat me as yours, so cooperation is a win-win situation."
At this moment, Situ Mao was certain from the bottom of his heart that the woman in front of him was not as soft as she looked. She had the weak and ignorant appearance of a little girl and a beautiful and sweet face, but she had a heart that was smarter than anyone else. Moreover, she was thick-skinned and a little shameless.
"Cooperation? You're not going to cooperate with me by coming to my place every day to eat and drink for free and keep a pet, right?"
Hua Yang smiled awkwardly and said, "How can that be possible? Besides, it was you who proposed to treat us to breakfast, and I was being kind and didn't refuse you to save your face."
"Well, actually we can cooperate. Lend me your little white tiger." Situ Mao was actually half joking, but he didn't expect Hua Yang to agree immediately. He said this just to reject Hua Yang's proposal for cooperation.
People like Hua Yang always feel that if they cannot belong to him or cooperate with him, there will be too many uncertainties. He likes the feeling of having everything in his hands. If there is such an uncertain factor, it is easy for some of the things he has prepared to get out of control.
At this time, Situ Mao regretted inviting Hua Yang and his group back. In the eyes of the other two forces, Hua Yang was already under his command. If there was any trouble, Chou Yuan would not go directly to Hua Yang and his group for trouble.
Instead, they would secretly send people to disrupt and pressure him, causing him all kinds of trouble.
It was a bad idea.
But there was a voice in his heart telling him that choosing to get along with Hua Yang would be beneficial to him and would not cause any harm.
Listening to Hua Yang's clear voice speaking to him, he seemed to have lost all reason to refuse the cooperation. Sometimes, beauty is really a sword hanging over a hero's head. Knowing that it is uncertain, but still wanting to give it a try. Just like him now.
"Okay! It's settled, let's cooperate and I'll lend Xiaobai to you."
"Ah?" Situ Mao suddenly felt that he had dug a hole for himself. Although he didn't know why he had this feeling, it was the first time he felt so strongly! "Xiao Bai, are you really going to lend it to me?"
"Yes!" Hua Yang nodded without hesitation. Xiaobai has an inseparable connection with her space. If she lends it to others, it is just lending it to others, and it will never belong to others.
A few minutes later, Li Qing suddenly ran over, sweating profusely, and said helplessly with tears in his eyes: "Chief, the little tiger and the big white goose entered the warehouse and refused to come out."
"What?" Situ Mao suddenly stood up excitedly and immediately looked at Hua Yang.
"What's in that warehouse?" Hua Yang asked curiously. What could be so stubborn that the two little guys wouldn't leave?
"The warehouse where the crystal cores are stored." Situ Mao was speechless, but he had to say it. If he went over and threw the two out of the warehouse at this moment, there might be a big fight. But if there was no fight, he could only ask Hua Yang to get the two ancestors out.
Hua Yang finally understood why Xiao Bai was so excited in the mental link. It turned out that he had crashed into the crystal core warehouse.
The need for crystal nuclei of evolved organisms is a natural physiological need, just like humans need to eat when they are hungry and sleep when they are tired.
"Come on, lead the way, I'll catch them back!" Hua Yang glanced at Xiao Ming and asked Xiao Ming to follow obediently.
When they arrived at the warehouse, they saw a tiger and a goose lying on their bellies facing up, motionless, on top of two piles of crystal cores.
Hua Yang and Xiao Ming hurried back to investigate.
Situ Mao and Li Qing were also shocked when they saw a tiger and a goose lying motionless on the crystal core.
"Don't eat yourself to death, okay?" Situ Mao felt a little nervous at this moment.
He had a lot of crystal cores in reserve, so he could eat them all. But if she died from the eating, he was afraid that the little woman in front of him would not let it go.
Moreover, he had a hunch that this Hua Yang was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
Hua Yang checked Xiao Bai and found that Xiao Bai was surrounded by energy. The energy centered in the abdomen was compressing and slowly penetrating into its bones.
"It's okay. I'm just digesting the food I ate."
"Sister, Dabai is fine, but..." Xiao Ming hesitated, his face full of worry. He was very afraid that Dabai would advance again and then get out of his control again.
Hua Yang naturally knew what Xiao Ming was worried about, and patted his head to let him rest assured. Then he turned to Situ Mao and said, "I'm so sorry, my two little pets ate so many of your crystal cores. How about this, you see how much you are missing, and I'll give you the supplement."
Situ Mao quickly waved his hands and said, "Forget it, forget it, as long as they are fine. But, are you sure they are fine like this?"
Hua Yang nodded, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
After being disturbed by Xiaobai and Dabai, Hua Yang felt embarrassed to stay in someone else's villa any longer. Instead, Situ Mao kindly asked them where they lived and wanted to send someone to take them back.
Hua Yang didn't know this as she had just come out of the isolation room. Hua Jianming said, "It's on the fourth floor of Dongming Street in the small high-rise area. If Chief Situ is free, you are welcome to come and play anytime."
"Of course!"
After watching Hua Yang and his group leave the villa area, Situ Mao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He never knew that he could be so exhausted just to win over a group of people.
