Chapter 131 Love Brain, Close Yet Distant
Anyway, this was the old man and Qing Wentao's own reasonable idea. Even if he only brought back 20%, it wouldn't matter. At worst, he would just get a few words of criticism.
As someone with a "love-obsessed" mindset, Qingli would never admit that he was bewitched by Ye Shang.
Ye Shang then took 20% for himself, Qing Li took 20%, and the remaining 60% was left to the other five bases.
Seeing that she only took the extra 30% calculated by the First Base, Qingli asked, "Ah Shang, aren't you going to take more?"
After all, these were the things they found. Even if they moved them all, what difference would it make? Besides, these things were originally ownerless. They belonged to the Flower Kingdom before, and now they naturally belong to the base.
Ye Shang shook his head. "There's no need. If we put some in each base as a deterrent, I suspect we'll face even more disasters later."
Forgive others when you can; this is a change in the whole world and a development of the whole civilization. She doesn't believe that there are normal countries on the other side of the sea.
When ordinary people in the world gain power, their first priority is to check if others have it, and after settling their own affairs, they begin to expand and invade.
This is something that cannot be avoided at any time. She is not powerful enough to destroy a country. Even if she cultivates to the level of a great power later, the karmic consequences of destroying a country would be enormous.
For cultivators, the most taboo thing is cause and effect. Why did she agree to Qingli in the first place? Because she always had a feeling that the relationship between the two of them was very complicated in the dark.
It felt like a first meeting, yet also like a second; this feeling made it impossible for her to look away from him from the moment he appeared.
Each time she looked closely, she tried to find something, as if if she persisted, she could really find the answer.
Unfortunately, there wasn't anything unusual about Qingli, nor did she see anything unusual about her.
This was something she regretted. She lowered her eyes, wondering if her senior brother's words back then would become a fatal trigger for her.
"Ah Shang, Ah Shang".
Qingli's voice broke her thoughts.
Ye Shang looked at his face as he leaned closer and asked, "Shall we wait here, or go out first?"
Seeing that she had come back to her senses, Qingli suggested, "Shall we go for a walk?"
He had notified the people at the First Base to go back and not come back, since he had already finished collecting everything. However, the message he received said that they were blocked by zombies and could neither go back nor get through, and were currently fighting the zombies.
Ye Shang also sent a message to the people at the Fifth Base, and showed them photos of the armory, telling them to go back first.
The moment Song Wenwen and her companion received the message, they ran back, saying as they ran, "Did Captain Ye complete the mission so easily?"
An Lu maintained her steady pace, her small eyes looking helpless: "It seems like we haven't done anything useful coming out this time."
Team Leader Ye is amazing! She completed the mission all by herself. We were only supposed to gather information today, but she finished it all.
Uh, so this means we have to return to base earlier than planned?
But today is another day of survival, how wonderful! Anlu squinted her small eyes and thought happily, every day I live is a blessing.
Of the five people at the First Base, Lin Ze said to the other four, "Let's go back to the base first. It seems the captain has been found."
His flight speed and agility were second only to the captain's, so upon receiving the information, he naturally responded immediately.
But we still need to deal with the zombies blocking our way first.
The Seventh Base.
After Wang Shuli caused another large-scale explosion, he directed Jiang Mingyun to leave immediately.
The two practically walked and hid, while also checking the route map.
The same applies to the remaining bases.
Every now and then, a wind-type ability user would appear in the air to check the way and then return to the ground to report to everyone.
And so, no one came looking for them until the middle of the night.
Ye Shang and his companion left the cave and went to the house outside, where they took out two sofas and sat down.
Qingli then propped up the door she had smashed, melted it down, and welded it back together, barely managing to make it a door.
After closing the door, the cold wind stopped blowing in, and Qingli pulled her coat tighter.
They burned a pile of firewood that the two of them had just collected in the back mountain in the room.
Seeing that there were two sofas, Qingli consciously went to the other sofa.
Seeing that he was aware of the situation, Ye Shang smiled and took out a thick blanket from his spatial storage and handed it to him.
Just as Qingli was about to take out the blanket, she saw that she had already handed it to her, and she took it with a smile.
It's already late at night, and it's getting colder. The moonlight has faded, and it's almost pitch black outside.
In a daze, Qingli asked a question that had been lingering in his heart for some time, her voice soft and somewhat indistinct: "A-Shang, why do you always give me a feeling of being neither close nor distant?"
Sometimes he felt as if she wasn't truly with him, as if her promise that day was just a casual one.
Ye Shang sat cross-legged on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest and regulate his internal energy. In the already quiet night, even though he only said two indistinct words, she could still hear them clearly.
She paused for a few seconds, then said, "Don't worry, you won't regret it."
This is the biggest promise she can make.
Hearing her answer, Qingli finally smiled with relief and fell peacefully asleep.
Ye Shang remained seated, eyes closed, adjusting his breathing. Generally, after undergoing tribulation, one needs to go into seclusion again to consolidate their realm for a period of time.
But ever since I saw the Xuan Tian Continent during my last seclusion, I haven't thought about going into seclusion again.
Now is the perfect time to take advantage of the night to regulate my breathing and consolidate my cultivation.
The round, glowing golden core spun continuously. All the surging energy that had impacted the golden core was completely absorbed, and even the remaining energy was absorbed by the golden core.
