As they were talking, He Qing had already walked up to the vehicle.
It was clear that he looked rather dejected, lacking the gentle and upright demeanor he had when they first met.
Shen Jing openly handed him the backpack, saying, "It contains ice crystals."
“…What is that?” He Qing’s eyes widened slightly.
“It would be best to find an ice-type ability user to raise. The greater the ability of the ability user, the larger the area it can cover.” Shen Jing continued, “The abnormal movements in the crater are all related to the nurturing of ice seeds. The zombie nurturing the ice seeds is an eighth-order zombie.”
In other words, you need to find a superhuman of level eight or above.
This way, the entire base can be protected, and the surrounding area will become cool.
But He Qing is no longer the He Qing of the past.
After being betrayed, he simply smiled as he picked up his backpack, saying, "Only you still think of me."
He Qing carefully held the backpack in his arms.
His smile was tinged with sadness, a mixture of crying and laughing, and his eyes no longer held their usual bright and clear spirit.
He didn't say who he would find to be the new owner of the ice-type jade.
Shen Jing didn't ask any more questions.
Furthermore, there was no mention of the earth-based crystal nuclei found in the volcano.
"Base Commander, don't let the Huang family turn the Western Base into a mess." Shen Jing initially intended to use the He family, after all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. But after understanding the He family's actions over this period, it would be a lie to say she didn't admire them.
Even now.
She brought up the name of "ice jade" just to "stir up trouble".
However, Shen Jing secretly wanted the He family to take over the western base again.
As Shen Jing spoke, she waved to He Qing, walked around the front of the car, and returned to the passenger seat.
Gu Yan rested his hand on the car window, looking coldly at He Qing: "Who are you trying to fool with your act of despair?"
He Qing's pupils trembled slightly, and she gripped the backpack in her arms tightly with both hands. "...If zombies are mixed in with the crowd, you will harm A-Jing."
"Ah, even if I were a zombie, she would never leave me."
"I won't let A-Jing get hurt, from now on..."
But before she could finish speaking, Shen Jing opened the car door.
She looked at the two of them, puzzled. "A friendly exchange?"
He Qing didn't say what would happen in the future.
He watched silently as Gu Yan stepped on the gas and drove Shen Jing away right in front of him.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Shen Jing turned to hand the dried meat to Vasily, only to see He Qing still standing there. After his figure finally became a tiny black dot, Shen Jing thoughtfully looked away.
"He's playing the victim in front of you."
Hearing Gu Yan's cold words, Shen Jing just smiled and said, "He is indeed in a pretty bad situation right now."
Everyone at the base denied his contributions.
Even his most trusted comrade-in-arms ran to the enemy camp.
Gu Yan snorted in a bad mood, but his fair and jade-like face showed no anger. "He's not as incompetent as he appears. At least just now he was just putting on an act, trying to gain your sympathy."
"However, your excessive sympathy has wasted his performance."
Shen Jing turned to look at him, "Your filter for me is level ten, isn't it?"
She is not like Yang Muyi from her previous life, who could awaken bewitching powers and charm all living beings.
How can one be loved by everyone and carried by every car?
And she really wasn't as selfless and loving as Gu Yan said...
Finally, I could only add helplessly, "You're overthinking it. A balance of power is in our favor. Going it alone will only lead to being outmaneuvered by Su Huan sooner or later."
Gu Yan asked calmly, "Didn't the spatial panel say anything more?"
"No, they just told us to go back to base and wait for the 'wish' to be made."
"Feeling sad for them?"
Shen Jing placed her hands on the seat, folding them behind her head. "I don't know either, I just feel like I'm destined to cooperate with them."
Gu Yan's eyes suddenly turned cold as he was driving.
But Shen Jing did not notice his brief silence.
"I always seem to appear at the perfect moment to save them, and I always get blocked when I try to kill Liang Jingyan. Ha, it always feels like I'm just a tool to help them achieve their goals..." Shen Jing felt more and more uneasy as she spoke.
She looked at the silent Gu Yan and said with difficulty, "Really?"
Shen Jing looked at him with a shocked expression.
Gu Yan offered no words of comfort.
He drove back in his SUV as usual.
However, Shen Jing discovered that she seemed to have inadvertently uncovered the truth.
Recalling everything that happened during the snowy season only intensified her sense of unease. It was just like in real life, when you realize that everything around you is deliberately arranged, and then suddenly wake up or become aware of it—that's just another part of the process.
No matter how clear-headed or struggling you are.
They are all just insignificant ants in the vast universe.
Shen Jing felt a chill run down her spine and stared blankly ahead.
But she felt like something was off...
This time, Gu Yan did not take her home, but instead went to the Huang family in Area A. The SUV drove straight in and no one dared to stop it.
Gu Yan stopped the car.
He then pulled Shen Jing and walked into the Huang family's house, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.
Whether it was because they had brought back a lot of supplies or because the Huang family had recently dealt a heavy blow to the He family, everyone in the Huang family wore a smug smile today, and their smiles were even more meaningful when they saw Shen Jing.
At least, in Shen Jing's view, their gazes were very strange.
But none of them tried to stop Gu Yan and Shen Jing.
Shen Jing used her special ability to scan the area and found Li Chu and Liang Jingyan making work arrangements. Liang Jingyan seemed to sense something and walked over, but Li Chu pulled his arm away.
Gu Yan did not linger.
