Chapter 145 I Won’t Lie to You
Qiao Lan gave two-thirds of the food in the granary to Ye Qi's base.
This was decided when she was harvesting grain.
If she had such good luck in her previous life, she would have covered the food well, hidden it tightly in a space, not letting anyone know, and would have eaten it quietly in a corner.
But now, it's different.
Different mindsets lead to different circumstances.
In her past life, she had endured too much hardship, witnessed too much betrayal and coldness, and now asking her to help others? She would definitely slap them in the face.
Although her life was full of crises, she was lucky enough to hold on. She had friends, companions and acquaintances around her. She changed the fate of many people and was also warmed and changed by everyone.
The food in her space was not enough for one person to eat, and Xiao Tang, Xiao Li and the others could not finish it either. Wouldn't it be a waste to have another granary? Ye Qi had a large base and was short of food, so why not divide it up?
The only difference was that she originally wanted to split it in half, but after they confirmed their relationship, she got a little more.
Ye Xiaoqi is her boyfriend now, their relationship is different, right? He works so hard managing the base, how can she just watch him suffer? Of course she will try her best to help.
When poor, one should take care of oneself; when rich, one should help the world. The base Ye Qi founded amidst the bloody sacrifices is the support and hope of many in the apocalypse, and it also allows Qiao Lan to see more possibilities for the future. The base's seedlings are still small, so she waters them with nutrient solution to see if they can grow into towering trees.
However, due to the limited space in the base and the poor storage environment for grain, which is prone to moisture, mold, and insect bites, Qiao Lan verbally promised two-thirds of the food. Currently, the actual food left in the base is only enough for everyone for half a month.
The others are temporarily stored in the space for preservation and will be released when the base is short of food.
"Blue."
Qiao Lan put the food in the secret food storage area of the base. Ye Qi looked at the room full of rice bags and felt excited.
He never showed his emotions on his face, so it didn't show on his face, but he reached out and embraced Qiao Lan.
Hug hard.
“I never know how to thank you.”
Qiao Lan hugged him back and patted him on the back: "You're welcome, just come out and fight with me."
"Lanlan, I owe you a lot."
"Well, it's even. I was the one who attracted those powerful enemies like King Kong and King Kong."
"If you don't lead them, one city won't be able to accommodate two bases with completely different styles. Sooner or later, there will be a war." Ye Qi was very clear about this. With limited areas and resources, if they couldn't be allies, they could only be mortal enemies.
He didn't blame Qiao Lan for attracting monsters, just as Qiao Lan was willing to deliver food. There seemed to be no need to say too much between them.
"Oh my, we are all in the same boat." Qiao Lan laughed.
The two of them left the grain storage warehouse together, holding hands, and only separated when they reached a place where there were people.
Captain Xiao and his men were waiting near the base gate.
All on the same rope.
They came to the Crimson Dawn base just to discuss how to eliminate the thugs. They hit it off immediately, and they had more information about the thugs in advance.
"I've already sent half of my men to the thugs' territory to clean up and finish off any loose ends. The rest are on their way to your base and will be there soon. We're going to go after the main culprit. You have to defend your base well and don't let anyone steal it."
Captain Xiao is nearly fifty years old, has a loud voice, and a dignified and cheerful demeanor.
In the early stages of mutation, most of the awakened people were young people. It was quite rare for someone of his age to awaken early.
Before the end of the world, he was one of the senior leaders of the city's fire protection system, commanding all the city's fire police. Now, he led more than 300 elite soldiers and police officers, and after solving his own food and drink problems, he began to maintain order in the city.
His first priority was to cooperate with the renowned Ye Qi Base to wipe out the main force of the thugs entrenched in the south of the city.
Ye Qi walked up to him and shook hands with him again.
"Thanks to your help today, Captain Xiao. Without further ado, I suggest that only we Awakened ones go out to pursue the main culprit. The others should stay behind and avoid making unnecessary sacrifices."
"Yes."
The two of them have the same idea.
"Captain Xiao's legs?"
"It's okay, I was just accidentally hit. It won't affect the battle. Captain Ye, are you in good spirits?"
"It's all right now."
Both men are tough guys with military backgrounds who don’t worry about injuries and are ready to fight as long as they can walk.
Two people stood out from the accompanying team behind Captain Xiao.
They look almost identical, they are a pair of twin boys.
"The three of us will join the battle." Captain Xiao said.
Qiao Lan and Ye Qi stood together: "The two of us."
Old Song chased out and assured Ye Qi: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect the base with everyone else."
His body was still wrapped in bandages and his burns hadn't fully healed, but the old investigator was in good spirits.
He winked at Ye Qi and leaned in close to whisper, "Brother, I'm not lying to you, am I?"
As he said this, he glanced at Qiao Lan.
Ye Qi gave him a grateful glance: "Thank you."
That night, he had a frustrated conversation with Qiao Lan. The next day, Lao Song noticed his depression and secretly taught him some of the 36 strategies for love.
The first thing is to be brave.
Too embarrassed to say I miss you? Still needing to make excuses after kissing you? That won't work.
If you can’t play the romantic game, then go for it directly, directly, face it head-on, and be bold!
Say I love you! Kiss bravely! Don't be afraid of getting slapped! Do you hear me?
Old Song's face-to-face instructions were like a demonic sound, sowing a bad seed in Ye Qi's heart. Intellectually, he scoffed at it, but emotionally...
Anyway, I couldn't help it when we were alone just now.
At once……
I actually fell in love!
I have to say that Lao Song is a bit magical.
"Let's go, be careful." Ye Qi didn't feel comfortable asking Old Song for advice at this time, as business was more important.
Old Song nodded solemnly: "You must be more careful!"
Watching Ye Qi and his group leave the base, the old investigator waved and shouted behind them, "Looking forward to your victorious return! Captain, I'll teach you the second plan when you come back!"
Qiao Lan asked Ye Qi: "What's the second plan?"
Ye Qi pretended not to hear clearly: "Did he say that he would give me the second injection after I come back?"
"He has to get two shots every day?"
"…It seems to be an anti-inflammatory drug."
"oh."
Gray pigeons flew ahead to lead the way.
The group of five quickly moved through the streets and alleys, chasing after an enemy they knew would be difficult to defeat.
The awakened ones have great speed and physical strength, so when they reached the east area of the city, only more than half an hour had passed.
The pigeon stopped in front of a street.
It followed the enemy from a distance, but as soon as it got close to here, the enemy disappeared.
Next, Ye Qi, Qiao Lan and others need to find it themselves.
Maybe the enemy is nearby, or maybe he has escaped to a farther place.
"Search separately?" Captain Xiao suggested that the five of them split up into five different directions.
Qiao Lan's nose smelled a smell that was very familiar and disgusting in her previous life.
"Hold on!"
She followed the smell, ran across two streets, and came to a big pit.
Before the disaster, the city's sunken square, shops, fountains, and leisure facilities had all been destroyed and were now in a mess.
What is surprising is not the ruins, but the strange-looking corpses hidden among the ruins.
The strange, pungent smell became very strong.
Qiao Lan stood at the edge of the pit, unable to help but tremble slightly.
The fear from her previous life was deeply rooted in her memory. Even after her rebirth, it still made her feel physically nauseous and broke out in cold sweats.
"What's this!"
Several people from Ye Qixiao's detachment rushed over immediately.
Everyone was shocked by the dense piles of corpses in the sunken square.
It was not the bodies of the stroke victims among the rubble, but a scene even more bloody and terrifying than that.
A vast square, a mess of ruins and bricks, hundreds of broken limbs and bodies...
"This is a body dump."
Qiao Lan's face turned pale.
Fear turned into anger, making her blood boil.
Holding the submachine gun tightly, she looked around.
Saint Yeshua's human body research laboratory must be nearby!
