Chapter 187 Old Rules, Half for Each Person
After saying that, he jumped off the roof.
“…” Qiao Lan’s brows twitched.
Did this guy do something wrong? Otherwise, why would he call me sister as soon as we met?
According to her brief love experience, whenever Ye Qi wanted to make her happy, or did something he felt guilty about, he would call her sister very well.
"What's going on, Uncle Guo?"
Seeing that several other awakeners followed Ye Qi and jumped down one after another, only Lao Guo and another auxiliary system were left there. Qiao Lan did not rush to jump down to join the battle, but asked Lao Guo about the situation first.
As one of the awakened people in the base, Lao Guo also participated in the actual combat training this time.
The excitement after being treated by Yin Wanying had not yet subsided. He spoke very fast, chattering like a machine gun, explaining the whole cause and effect to Qiao Lan.
It turned out that a supply team from the base was searching for supplies in this area. They hadn't been able to return in time the previous day, and since traveling at night was too dangerous, they had temporarily camped here for the night. Unexpectedly, in the early hours of the morning, they were woken by the sounds of fierce fighting not far away.
This group of people took a secret look and were surprised to see that the fight was really fierce.
There were several psychics on both sides of the battle, and their levels were not low. They fought fiercely, and the energy fluctuations even shocked the team members who were peeping here.
They didn't dare show up or say a word, and secretly contacted the base.
From the shouts and conversations of the two fighting parties, we learned that the attacking party came from the Mother Goddess base in the north of the city, while the defending party had been living in the underground space under the ruins. It was an underground warehouse with a lot of meat stored there!
The fighting lasted for two hours, on and off, with heavy casualties on both sides.
"I went over to check. Under the rubble across the street, there's a basement warehouse filled with frozen pork. My rough estimate is the equivalent of at least two hundred pigs. There are still two people alive in there, both seriously injured. They probably won't last much longer."
Lao Guo's ability to hide his breath is very useful for covert reconnaissance.
Avoiding detection from both sides of the battle, he sneaked into the warehouse to verify the supplies, and then approached the attacking Mother Goddess team to spy on them.
"They'll rest for a few minutes before launching a new attack. The leader said they'll fight to the death and must take it this time. Furthermore, they didn't request follow-up support, as if they were afraid their accomplices would steal the credit. It seems there's some real intrigue going on inside that Mother God base."
"Uncle Guo, good job." Qiao Lan praised.
This news is so useful.
As long as the Mother Goddess Base does not come to support us, and there is no threat of strange things like bone monsters or mechanical birds, we can just rob our enemies without any worries.
After we destroy the Godmother team guarding the warehouse, we'll destroy the Godmother team here and take away all the frozen pork, hehe...
Qiao Lan is ready to go.
Huh? No!
Qiao Lan looked out from the roof and saw that Ye Qi and his men had already run all the way to the back of the Mother Goddess team.
"Uncle Guo, does Ye Qi want to fight now?"
Lao Guo nodded. "Captain Ye said we can't let the Mother Goddess base run rampant and bully the survivors at will."
Is he going to be the world's policeman? Qiao Lan was furious.
In this apocalyptic environment, why should we maintain justice and peace? Just let the gangs rob the gangs, why should we save the people in the warehouse?
If we save them, will they be grateful? Will they give the pork to the base for free? Definitely not.
Before she finished her anger, Ye Qi had already started an attack from behind and attacked the Mother Goddess team.
The sound of fighting could be heard.
Qiao Lan cursed inwardly, "Fool!" and finally understood why he called her "sister" the moment they met. He was afraid she wouldn't agree with his approach, so he tried to coax her into complying.
After asking Lao Guo about the entrance to the pork warehouse, Qiao Lan went downstairs angrily and approached stealthily.
No matter how angry you are, you still have to collect the supplies.
While Ye Shazi was meddling in other people's business, she quickly got the pork.
"Who is attacking us? We are the people under the care of the Goddess of Mercy in the north of the city. Don't make enemies with us, ignorant wanderers. Blasphemers must die!"
The group of Goddess Mothers were stunned by Ye Qi and his men. They hurriedly looked for cover, fighting back while shouting out their identities.
In the city now, if the name of the Mother Goddess Base is announced, many survivors will automatically retreat and dare not confront it head-on.
But Ye Qi and his group were coming for them, so of course they wouldn't retreat and fought even harder. The two remaining men in the pork warehouse, despite being seriously injured, saw an opportunity and immediately rushed out to join the fight, attacking Ye Qi from both sides.
Amidst the frequent explosions and screams of supernatural powers, Qiao Lan, alone, covered with a linen-gray bed sheet that was similar in color to the bricks and stones of the ruins, sneaked under the ruins and approached the half-open metal door.
While the two people in the warehouse were busy fighting in front, she put her hand on the door, and with a thought, she put the things inside into the space.
Then he quickly slipped away.
In less than ten minutes, the battle was over and she returned to the rooftop without anyone noticing.
The Mother Goddess team was wiped out, all of them dead. And one more person died in the warehouse, leaving only one person, dragging his seriously injured body, looking warily at Ye Qi and his group.
"Are you here to steal supplies too?" He was covered in blood and couldn't even stand steadily.
"How much supplies do you have that's worth us stealing? Have you heard of Xingchen Park in the east? We have plenty of supplies there." Ye Qi, wearing a mask and a hat, and baggy overalls, sneered and said, "We only have a grudge against those people who believe in the Mother God. We want to destroy them on sight."
Then he took his men to dig up the crystal cores of the awakened ones from the Mother Goddess team and walked away along the road.
The man stood there, stunned for a while.
He looked down at the bodies of his companions scattered all over the ground and was even more stunned.
I returned to the warehouse in a daze, and this time I was stunned for a while longer.
Where's the meat... Where's the meat that filled half the warehouse?! Why is there only one bag left?
He vomited blood and fainted.
He woke up more than half an hour later.
He got up and staggered out, where waiting for him was another team of Godmothers that had just arrived.
There were only three people, and only one was awakened, but he was not someone he could deal with at the moment as he was seriously injured.
"You killed our people?" the other party asked coldly and mercilessly.
"No, it's not me, it's someone from Xingchen Park. I don't have that ability." The man quickly denied it.
"I'm afraid you don't have the ability, but you must be a participant in the battle." The other party sneered, "Those who blaspheme must die."
The opponent raised his hand to release his supernatural power, but a bullet shot from a distance pierced his palm.
“Who is it?”
The three members of the Mother Goddess team hurriedly sought cover to hide, but the continuous barrage of bullets quickly killed two of them, leaving only one injured, who hurriedly fled away.
The seriously injured survivor lay on the ground pretending to be dead for a long time before he dared to stand up, carefully returned to the warehouse, carried the only remaining bag of pork on his back, and slipped away, leaving this dangerous place.
"Where will he go and how long will he live?"
In the distance, Qiao Lan put away his gun.
Ye Qi sat next to her and replied, "I don't know. I saved his life twice. What happens next depends on his luck. It's not something I can control."
Qiao Lan smiled, "I didn't take everything. There's a bag of meat left, about 30 kilograms, enough for him to eat for more than a month. I didn't leave any more. He couldn't take more away, and it would bring him trouble. I hope he can survive on this little bit of meat for the next month and find a new safe place to live."
It has always been her habit to leave a line when taking supplies.
She is relieved now and no longer angry.
I originally thought that Ye Qi would go up to save people like a fool, but unexpectedly, although he saved people, he did not reveal his identity. Instead, he covered his face, wore clothes different from usual, and reported a false identity.
It turned out that the word "sister" was a way of coaxing her into going and getting the meat, as he was worried that she wouldn't cooperate.
The people were rescued, the Mother God team was destroyed, and the supplies were taken.
He is finally no longer the stupid fake policeman who risked his life to save people in the Tsui Wah Hotel.
He knows how to play tricks and how to steal supplies.
Only such a base leader can feel safe.
"The same old rules, half each." Ye Qi said.
Qiao Lan said without hesitation: "Okay, half and half."
This was something the two of them had agreed on long ago, and had practiced many times before. Anything obtained through collaboration would be split equally between the base and Qiao Lan. For example, when they robbed the granary that the gang led by the thug "Wang" had set their sights on, Ye Qi helped fight, and Qiao Lan gave him half of the granary with a simple gesture.
You can't just say that just because two people are in a romantic relationship, there's no need to distinguish between you and me, right? What needs to be distinguished still needs to be distinguished, and close lovers should settle accounts clearly.
The two of them sat on the roof for a while, waiting for the other members to finish their combat training nearby, and then returned to the base together.
After returning, in order to conceal Qiao Lan's special ability, Ye Qi did not announce to everyone that he had obtained a batch of pork. He only secretly took Qiao Lan to the secret material warehouse at the base and released a small portion of the pork. The rest was still in Qiao Lan's space, and he could take it whenever he wanted to eat it.
The harvest was not small, with meat from about 200 pigs, or more than 20 tons. If the base gets half of it, there will be more than 10 tons, and the quality of food will be improved immediately.
The next day, the whole base had a meal of pork bone soup, which made everyone very happy.
"Where's the pork?"
"I heard that a small supermarket warehouse was discovered. This morning I saw Captain Ye and his men driving over to get it."
"I also heard that the warehouse was occupied by a group of mutant wasps, and it was Captain Ye who killed all of them by himself."
"Amazing! Captain Ye is awesome!"
There is a legend about the origin of pork circulating in the base.
Those who went out with Ye Qi to fight that day were all trusted awakened ones. The Supply Group 68, which first discovered the fierce battle, was also given a strict gag order, so no one knew the true source of this batch of meat.
Qiao Lan found it funny when he heard the rumor.
It happened that she met Ye Qi at the training ground early that morning. She whispered, "Is it necessary to make up such a big lie?"
She was very careful when she took the pork. Even Lao Guo didn't know she took the pork. The other participants in the battle certainly didn't know the inside story either. There was no need to cover it up...
Ye Qi said, "It's not just for you. According to the news from the front, Xingchen Park is currently engaged in a fierce battle with the people from the Mother Goddess Base."
Qiao Lan was surprised: "Just because of the pork warehouse?"
"Well, I succeeded in framing her."
Ye Qi said that not only did he report a false identity and claim that he was a powerful party of Xingchen Park, but also afterwards he sent people to get a few small off-road motorcycles modified into transport vehicles, drove them several times from the pork warehouse to Xingchen Park, and finally parked the vehicles near Xingchen Park.
Pretend that Xingchen Park is sending a car to pick up pork.
Qiao Lan: “…”
This is too hurtful.
If the people at the Mother Goddess Base were to investigate, they would definitely put the blame for the murder and the pork robbery on Xingchen Park. It would be strange if a fight didn't break out!
The Xingchen Park faction was one of the few smaller factions in the city, aside from the Crimson Dawn base. They were known for their frequent acts of murder and arson, and had clashed with the Crimson Dawn base several times. While not hostile, they were more likely to dislike each other.
"Why are you trying to trick them now? Can't you take action against them after you've dealt with the Mother Goddess base? Can they handle it?" Qiao Lan was just a little worried.
Ye Qi said: "It is precisely to deal with the Goddess that we are taking action now."
"oh?"
