Chapter 129: Careful Budgeting
[Aye’s temper…]
How should I…?
Ye Xi's inner thoughts were intermittent.
Lu Ye frowned slightly and suppressed the restlessness in his heart.
You should block your mind reading of her first.
But this body is too weak, and it cannot shield itself until its telepathic ability is upgraded to level three.
"Han Chi!"
Ye Xi called the big guy over.
When the big guy heard this, he finished his instant noodles in a few bites, gulped down his energy drink, and walked towards her quickly.
"Han Chi, there are some things I really want to explain to you, even if you don't understand right now. I'm not your sister, you can treat me as your sister for now. But if you want to stay in our team, I can only treat you as my teammate."
Ye Xi looked at the dumbfounded Han Chi and spoke helplessly.
The big guy looked confused, "Sister..."
Ye Xi pointed at Ye Yan who was a few meters away and said, "She, Ye Yan, is my sister."
Finally, he pulled Lu Ye over and said in front of him: "This is Lu Ye, my brother."
The big guy nodded, not quite understanding, and glanced at Ye Yan, "Sister."
He glanced at Lu Ye again, "Brother."
"That's right."
Ye Xi suddenly felt a little relieved that Han Chi was not completely stupid. He could still recognize people and had some basic self-care abilities.
"Your basic responsibility in our team from now on is to protect my sister and my brother."
Hearing this, the big guy frowned slightly, his facial muscles twisted and twisted. He looked at Ye Xi and shook his head and said, "No. I have to protect you and my sister!"
Ye Xi's mouth twitched slightly, and he said in a gentle voice: "You have seen my strength. I don't need your protection for the time being. When I need it, I will call you. Do you understand?"
The big guy hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
It seems like he listened.
Ye Xisong breathed a sigh of relief, finally they could communicate again.
"Ano."
She turned to look at the young man behind her, "Han Chi will be responsible for your and my sister's safety from now on. You should follow him closely."
[Go as soon as possible...]
[Feelings, etc.]
[After dealing with the Level 4 zombies, I told Aye...]
“…”
Lu Ye looked at Ye Xi and hummed softly, "Thank you, Sister Xi. I'll remember that."
Seeing him so well-behaved and obedient.
Ye Xi was in a good mood and couldn't help but touch his fluffy hair.
【really……】
[You're so well behaved...]
【Ano looks really...】
What is she thinking?
Lu Ye felt more and more uncomfortable, as if every word in people's hearts was related to him.
What do you want to say to him?
How is he?
Before he could understand what was going on.
Ye Xi turned and left.
Looking at her back, Lu Ye only heard some ideas about how to fight the fourth-level zombies.
These thoughts were also disjointed and seemed less and less real the more I listened.
"younger brother?"
The big guy in front of him looked at him and uttered two words.
Lu Ye ignored him and saw Ye Xi walk up to Pei Hongqing, and the two were whispering to each other.
-
Ye Xi’s new plan for the level 4 zombies is to sit back and wait.
Pei Hongqing glanced at Han Chi and asked her, "With him joining us, what are our chances of defeating that level 4 zombie?"
"Ninety percent."
Ye Xi raised an eyebrow. "You've seen Han Chi's strength. Otherwise, why would Fang Han keep him here? Han Chi's ability should be able to suppress that level 4 zombie. Otherwise, how could Fang Han have the ability to imprison a level 4 zombie?"
She hadn't figured this out before.
It works now.
He values Han Chi's ability and uses Han Chi's sister to threaten him to get a level 4 zombie first, then continues to torture Han Chi, conceals the news of his sister's death, and finally controls Han Chi's mind.
It’s just that Fang Han overestimated his abilities.
I also underestimated Han Chi's obsession with his sister.
Pei Hongqing heard the hidden meaning in her words, "So you are determined to get this level 4 zombie crystal core?"
"yes."
"Is there no need for us to take action?"
"good."
"So what you mean now..."
"That level 4 zombie can't eat Fang Han's crystal core. It appears here. You can go to Fangjia Village and bring the crystal core back for Fu Ruoqing."
"What's your purpose?"
Pei Hongqing narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Ye Xi suspiciously.
He didn't think this was Ye Xi's kindness.
Ye Xi curled her lips and looked at him with a half-smile. "I said that helping Fu Ruoqing would offset half of the favor we owed for the Level 4 Mutant Beast Core. Han Chi is now on our team, and just pulling the cart for you offset half of that. So, we're even between our two teams."
“…”
Pei Hongqing's mouth twitched slightly, "You are really calculating."
"Thank you for the compliment. After all, we're not on the same team. Even brothers should settle accounts, right?"
Ye Xi doesn't want to be owed anything, nor does he want to owe others anything.
“…”
Pei Hongqing remained silent. How could he not understand what she meant?
The little vixen is very clever.
But this deal is still a good deal for them.
Before Ye Xi spoke, he and Shen Yingcheng had already discussed it.
Fang Han's crystal core is useful to Fu Ruoqing.
Especially after knowing that the third-level psychic system can control zombies and mutants.
The two were even more determined to retrieve the crystal core to upgrade Fu Ruoqing.
The problem is that they are not sure whether the crystal core has been eaten by the level 4 zombies.
Or what if I encounter a level 4 zombie when I go back?
Therefore, they originally planned to work together with Ye Xi to deal with the fourth-level mutant zombies first...
What Ye Xi meant now was that she and Han Chi would deal with the level 4 zombies, and they could take the opportunity to go back and look for the crystal core, and they would have nothing to do with each other.
"good……"
Pei Hongqing looked at Ye Xi and promised, "We won't take part in attacking this level 4 zombie. When it appears, Yan Ziming and I will go back to get the crystal core."
“OK!”
Ye Xi snapped his fingers and walked away with a smile.
Talking to smart people always makes people happy.
Pei Hongqing is indeed an old fox.
But after getting along for a long time, you will find that there is such a teammate.
It is a very lucky thing for the team.
Like Chen Yingcheng, the team captain on the surface.
In fact, many decisions have to be discussed and decided with Pei Hongqing.
To put it bluntly, this team will not collapse even if Shen Yingcheng or Pei Hongqing are missing.
Now, Pei Hongqing still plays a decisive role in their team.
This was also the main reason why she came to talk to Pei Hongqing instead of Shen Yingcheng.
Fu Ruoqing has now fully recovered and asked Shen Yingcheng: “Brother Shen, can you send Cao Chenglan and the others back to Caojia Village first?”
"no."
Before Shen Yingcheng could answer, Pei Hongqing refused first.
He looked at Fu Ruoqing and said, "You can ask Yan Ziming to go to two tents for them to use tonight. For the rest of the time, we have to wait here for the appearance of the fourth-level zombies."
"and……"
Pei Hongqing glanced at Cao Chenglan and the others, and said with a slight twitch of his lips, "If they stay here, the people from Caojia Village will naturally come back to look for them."
"Um?"
Fu Ruoqing was puzzled. "Brother Yingcheng, do you mean that they can contact the people in Cao Village?"
Shen Yingcheng, Yan Ziming and Yi Xiran were equally puzzled.
Pei Hongqing said calmly, "When we went to Fangjia Village, it was a man named Cao Dafeng who led the way for us. But when we were about to enter Fangjia Village, he ran away."
