Chapter 267 A stroke of luck amidst misfortune



Yang Muyi then began to recount the names of those individuals and the weapons they typically used.

Yes, almost everyone in the base carries a knife with them.

Some people can even get their hands on a gun, and even if their abilities are limited, they'll still carry a stick.

There's plenty of everything on the mountain, especially trees.

"I'm hungry, where can I get some hot water?"

“There’s some in the kitchen, I just boiled it.” Yang Muyi immediately added, “You can boil some more using the water you brought…”

"Mmm, I'm so hungry." Shen Jing lazily turned her back, intending to go to the kitchen to make some instant noodles.

"that……"

Yang Muyi's anxious voice came from behind.

Shen Jing turned slightly to the side and looked at her: "Hmm?"

"Do you still want to rent that room?" she asked hesitantly, looking at Shen Jing.

"Renting is fine, it's a good idea."

Shen Jing took two steps forward and continued, "All those cameras need to be removed."

"Of course! I'm not a female pervert!"

Yang Muyi finally felt relieved.

She didn't seem to be in a hurry to deal with the two bodies.

Instead, she took Shen Jing to the kitchen, where she carefully took out the bag of rice and began to cook porridge.

Shen Jing glanced at her, poured the water from her backpack into the kettle, and started boiling water.

"The base still has electricity."

"That's because the base commander was farsighted. I heard he salvaged as many supplies as possible and even installed a power supply system in advance." Yang Muyi had heard this from others, so she continued the conversation along with Shen Jing's words: "It's staggered power usage. There will be two hours for cooking at noon, but no power in the evening."

"What about the water?"

"As for water sources, there are lakes within the base."

Yang Muyi didn't use a rice cooker; instead, she cooked the porridge over a wood fire.

Seeing the questioning look in Shen Jing's eyes, she explained, "Electricity is obtained through points, and the current electricity is probably not enough to cook porridge. In addition, the lake is managed by people sent by the base chief, and all of these can be obtained by exchanging points."

Shen Jing said she understood.

It seems the base commander manages the base very well.

Yang Muyi watched as the rich aroma of instant noodles soon filled the air. She swallowed hard and had no choice but to focus her attention on the rice grains popping open.

"Can I pay the rent with instant noodles?" Shen Jing handed over two packs of instant noodles. "I plan to rent for six months."

"...Half a year...?" Yang Muyi stared blankly at Shen Jing. At first, she only thought Shen Jing was overly aloof and lazy, always seeming indifferent to everything. But now, to Yang Muyi, she was practically a living Bodhisattva!

She trembled, looking at Shen Jing in disbelief: "Are you sure?"

Shen Jing assumed she was concerned about the room rate, "Well, instant noodles or other rice or noodles are fine."

"Sure! No problem! I couldn't be happier!"

"Ah, okay." Shen Jing was a little embarrassed by her excited expression, and pointed to her porridge, saying, "Don't let it burn."

"oh oh."

Yang Muyi then turned around and lowered her head to wipe away her tears.

She wiped her face haphazardly with the back of her hand and continued, "The child hasn't eaten staple food in a long time, so I want to cook it as thick as possible."

"A child? I thought..."

"?"

Yang Muyi immediately realized what was going on. Seeing Shen Jing's embarrassed expression, she chuckled, "They're fine. I just make sure they're asleep when I go out..."

She didn't blame Shen Jing for thinking the children were dead.

Instead, he gave a bitter smile.

Then she changed the subject, saying, "So you were just feeling sorry for me? Haha, the rent can't be refunded."

Shen Jing touched her nose, feeling a little uncomfortable with the other person's overly familiar manner. "I didn't ask you to return it."

After saying that, he slung his backpack over his shoulder and went back to the room he had just been in.

Having done many part-time jobs during her studies, dismantling security cameras was no challenge for her.

She also discovered that the bathroom mirror was problematic; it was a two-way mirror.

It seems that those scumbags did every single one of the despicable things before.

After removing the mirror and camera, Shen Jing began cleaning and disinfecting. She could gradually replace the bed sheets and curtains, since she could stay in the space temporarily.

It just requires maintaining information parity with the outside world.

Otherwise, if you stay where you are during an earthquake, you will be crushed to death!

Seeing that the room was fully furnished, Shen Jing had no intention of moving anything from her spatial dimension; she could just tidy it up later.

Moreover, Shen Jing has even stayed under overpasses, so she's quite satisfied with the room's condition.

Stepping out of the room, Shen Jing went to sit on the swing in the yard.

She looked at the ravaged flowers in the yard, a fruit tree next to the kitchen, and further away, what looked like an enclosure for raising chickens and ducks. But now everything had been cleared out. Fortunately, the fruit tree was saved, providing some shade from the sun.

The sunlight at the base was not as glaring as outside.

To be honest, entering the base felt like entering a paradise.

No wonder even such a villain would rather stay and work at the base.

A two-story building with a small courtyard like this is indeed a great place to live for a long time, and Shen Jing does not regret her decision.

Actually, helping Yang Muyi and liking this place were among the reasons.

Another issue is that she's unsure if she's Yang Mutong's sister.

Before, when she was in the dormitory, Shen Jing wasn't particularly close to her roommates, but they always chatted and laughed together. They were among the few people who understood and tolerated her, and even when she seemed aloof and withdrawn, they would often take care of her.

So after inheriting the estate, she bought each of their families a year's worth of grain as a gift.

I received WeChat messages from them, some crying and some laughing, while the building was still unfinished.
