Bai Jingkong pulled her behind him, separating her from the search team. "Alright, alright, she just got back. You'll have plenty of time to chat later. Yixin, let's go. There are some things I need to talk to you about alone." He spoke the last sentence in a very gentle tone.
Xia Yixin suppressed her nausea and played the role of a woman who "lost her memory and suddenly learned that all her teammates were dead".
The convoy set off again.
After passing through densely packed tenement buildings and multi-story residential areas, we entered Zone 1, which was originally a lakeside villa area with each household having its own yard and even a self-service supermarket. It was a completely different world from the outside.
Guo Miaomiao, standing on the central park platform of the base, was dressed in her finest attire.
She was dressed in a white dress, looking pitiful and innocent, until she saw the woman who had returned with Bai Jingkong, and the smile on her face vanished instantly.
Xia Yixin smiled slightly and walked over to her, saying, "Sister!"
"Don't come any closer!" Guo Miaomiao screamed in fright, completely forgetting that there was a fountain pool behind her. With a scream, she fell in.
Bai Jingkong cried out urgently, "Miao Miao!"
Seeing the chaotic scene, Xia Yixin felt somewhat bored; the female lead's mental fortitude was lacking.
It was late at night.
They arranged for Xia Yixin to stay in an empty villa next to theirs, absolved her of all responsibility for the destruction of the three teams, and finally told her that her parents had died a violent death.
"Yixin, no matter what, I should apologize to you. Brother Bai failed to protect you as promised. I rushed back immediately when I received the news a few days ago, but unfortunately... Don't worry, Yixin, Brother Bai will never leave you alone. From now on, I am your family, and K Base is our home."
Bai Jingkong reached out and stroked her head. To his surprise, Xia Yixin did not dodge away as she had before.
After the apocalypse, she became increasingly assertive, and Bai Jingkong almost forgot about the silly little girl who would secretly copy notes for him and bring him delicious food before the apocalypse.
But now, perhaps we can start over.
Just as he was about to pull her into his arms, she suddenly pushed him away. To his astonishment, she said earnestly, "Brother Bai, why did we break up? My memory is still stuck in the past. Before I left, you said you would propose to me when I came back. Everything was fine, so how did it turn out like this?"
"You were the one who broke up with me." The scumbag lied calmly. "After you came back, I don't know why, but you suddenly believed the rumors that Miao Miao and I had a special relationship. I explained, but you wouldn't listen. I swear, I really only saw Miao Miao as a little sister, but at that time... sigh."
Just as the scumbag was about to take the opportunity to ask for "reconciliation," the other party suddenly looked up and said with a tired expression.
“Brother Bai, I want to leave K Base. Actually, I’m not stupid. I can tell that you don’t have much romantic feeling for me. Besides, my parents are dead, and Team Three is gone... I don’t want to hold you back any longer.”
She's leaving!
Bai Jingkong said urgently, "Yixin, how could you think I have no feelings for you!?" How could he possibly let go of someone who might be the strongest fifth-tier ice-type on the entire continent, unless he was crazy!
In a flash, Bai Jingkong made a decision. He held her shoulders and said firmly, "We'll get married right away! Yixin, I want to prove my love for you in front of everyone. I will never abandon you."
Ten minutes later.
Bai Jingkong returned to her villa.
Guo Miaomiao was already waiting there. When she heard what he said after he entered, she gasped, "What did you say?! You're going to marry Xia Yixin? Are you crazy?!"
Bai Jingkong anticipated her reaction and said in a deep voice, "She is now at the fifth level, possibly the first fifth-level ice-type on the entire continent. Even the city lord of the largest base, P base, is only at the fourth level. I cannot let go of such a strong bargaining chip. Besides, you have been in the shadows for the past five years. All she has is the title of city lord's wife. The person I love is you."
"Bai Jingkong, are you stupid? Do you really believe she has amnesia? Fine, even if she has amnesia, what if she regains her memory someday? Have you thought about the consequences? She will definitely not let us off!" Guo Miaomiao became more and more terrified as she spoke. "No, we must kill her now!"
Bai Jingkong had always known Guo Miaomiao to be gentle and kind, but when had she ever seen her act like a shrew? She frowned and said, "Miaomiao, calm down."
Guo Miaomiao felt a fire burning in her chest. Pointing at Bai Jingkong's nose, she blurted out uncontrollably, "Calm down, I'm very calm! Bai Jingkong, let me tell you, it's either her or me! Don't think I don't know, you've been using me all along, just because of my healing water ability. You're just a pathetic wretch who uses women, a good-for-nothing phoenix man from the village... Ah!"
Snap!
In a fit of anger, Bai Jingkong slapped her.
Guo Miaomiao fell to the ground, half of her face swollen. In her excruciating pain, she looked at Bai Jingkong in disbelief.
Bai Jingkong was trembling all over because her words had touched his fragile self-esteem.
Just then, Xia Ru, who happened to have overheard the news and rushed over, saw this scene and hurriedly ran over to hug Guo Miaomiao, "Miaomiao!"
Seeing her daughter's swollen face, a surge of anger welled up inside her, and she roared at Bai Jingkong, "Bai Jingkong, are you insane? How dare you hit my daughter! If it weren't for my Miaomiao's healing water-based superpower, you'd be nothing! Let me tell you, this isn't over until you give us an explanation!"
Bai Jingkong was furious with the mother and daughter. He still remembered how they had flattered him before. Today, they had finally taken off their hypocritical masks, and he looked at them coldly.
At this moment, Guo Miaomiao realized something was wrong. She knew that although she thought the same thing, she wouldn't say it out loud no matter how angry she was. Why had she spoken so carelessly today? She tried to salvage the situation by pushing her mother away, attempting to revert to her original gentle and pitiful demeanor. However, she felt as if she were being controlled. She sneered, "Bai Jingkong, do you really think I don't know what kind of person you are? I won't be controlled by you forever. I've already contacted Su Feng! Let me tell you, if you don't want me, plenty of others will. I'm going to take...!!"
Before Guo Miaomiao could finish speaking, she was suddenly grabbed by the neck by the furious Bai Jingkong.
"You little bastard, let go! Let go!!" Xia Ru exclaimed, lunging forward to pry his hands off, but was instead kicked away by Bai Jingkong.
Xia Ru was originally a "activated" superhuman, and after being kicked away, she couldn't get up for a while.
Fortunately, the guards outside who heard the noise and thought something was wrong brought Bai Jingkong back to his senses, but he still felt like he was being cuckolded.
He released Guo Miaomiao, chased away the guards, and had them take away the shouting Xia Ru. He immediately searched Guo Miaomiao's wardrobe and personal belongings, and soon found a wireless communicator that did not belong to the K base, as well as a large number of crystal cores. These things were obviously not given to her by him.
Before the apocalypse, Su Feng, a rich second-generation, had always been by Guo Miaomiao's side. At that time, the person they looked down on the most was Bai Jingkong, who came from a rural background.
Now, with both old and new grudges surfacing, he even began to suspect that Guo Miaomiao might have been plotting against him with Su Feng from the very beginning.
In his rage, he grabbed Guo Miaomiao, who was coughing incessantly. "Miaomiao, I've been so good to you, and you dared to cheat on me! Today I'll show you what happens when you betray me!"
That night.
Guo Miaomiao's screams and cries echoed for a long time in Bai Jingkong's apartment.
On the other side.
Xia Yixin heard the system notification and knew that things had succeeded.
