Chapter 288



Many people have different feelings about it.

For example, Song Wenwen was sitting by a campfire with Xie Qingye, with a tent behind them.

Several campfires were lit. Originally, the intention was to make one big fire, but some people felt it would be better to burn them separately so that the fires closer to the tents could dispel some of the chill inside.

Song Wenwen gently rested her head on Xie Qingye's shoulder and said, "Captain Ye looks a bit inexplicably lonely."

Dressed in a dark robe, he sat quietly in a soft chair, one hand on the armrest and the other holding a cup of tea, sipping it slowly. His eyes would occasionally glance at the river in the distance, lost in thought.

Xie Qingye glanced at it and then looked away. He put his arm around Song Wenwen and said, "Captain Ye is probably thinking about some tasks for tomorrow."

He has a clear mind, knows how to make choices, and knows when to advance and retreat. At least in his heart, the most important thing right now is the girl in his arms. So even when Qingli talked to him, he was able to calmly express his thoughts without causing any resentment. This is also a testament to his intelligence.

Song Wenwen leaned against Xie Qingye's chest: "Tell me, where should we hold our wedding?"

Xie Qingye thought for a moment and said, "What do you think? Everything is up to you."

Whether it's the First Base or the Fifth Base, both places are their refuge.

Song Wenwen thought for a moment and said, "I think the Fifth Base is quite good. Anyway, the transportation hub will be fully opened in the future, and then we can bring your parents over."

Xie Qingye smiled gently: "Yes, it's really good."

After arranging everything, Han Yi sat down opposite Ye Shang, took out a bottle of fruit wine, poured himself a glass, and then poured Ye Shang a glass as well.

Ye Shang glanced at the fruit wine he had taken out and raised an eyebrow slightly: "A new variety?"

Whenever a new variety appears, Qingli usually brings some back for her to try, so she knows as soon as a new variety appears.

Han Yi laughed and said, "That's right, this is a flavor that I recently developed myself. I had the lab make a lot of it."

Ye Shang took a sip from his cup, savoring the taste: "Not bad, it leaves a lingering fragrance, and it's even a little intoxicating."

The taste has an indescribable quality, allowing her to savor a lingering aftertaste.

The flavor is subtle, but it allows you to savor the deepest, most delicate fragrance just as the flavor is about to dissipate.

Ye Shang found the taste a bit intoxicating, so he poured himself a whole glass and slowly drank it sip by sip.

Han Yi slowly sipped his drink. He had discovered this fruit by chance. However, there were no green trees there, only a bare branch with a few fruits on it. He wasn't sure if it was edible, so he took it back to the base to show the researchers.

Researchers extracted the genes from the fruit and found no harm to the human body. Later, they removed the seeds and kernels for cultivation.

It wasn't until he was able to produce in large quantities that he thought of trying to mix other fruits to see if he could make wine.

The base explicitly forbids the use of grains for brewing wine, but some fruits spoil after being stored for a long time, which allows people to use them to brew fruit wine.

The base also approved the plan. Fruits usually don't keep for long and are often made into other foods. Fruit wine, needless to say, is as popular as grains when it's freshly made.

Many people buy some to keep at home, or buy fruit and use simple recipes provided by the farm to make simple fruit wine.

If you want something better, you have to buy it. These complicated formulas are kept by the base and will not be leaked.

Of course, if someone develops a new recipe and it tastes really good, the base will give a generous reward to encourage people to be bold in their creativity.

Perhaps because it contained alcohol, although it wouldn't affect Ye Shang's current physical condition, she still seemed drunk, leaning back in the soft chair, swirling the wine glass in her hand.

Her eyes seemed to be shrouded in mist, making her appear somewhat unreal.

Ye Shang drank several bottles of this fruit wine, and Han Yi saw her propping her face up and looking at the river not far away.

"Captain Ye, the fruit wine is delicious, but you've gone too far and drunk up all my stock."

Han Yi looked at her with a bitter expression, his face contorted with pain.

Ye Shang thought for a moment and then transferred a large sum of points to him: "This should be enough to buy it."

She receives points almost every month. Even when she went into seclusion, the points in her account never decreased, and they were always deposited into her account on time every month.

Qingli said that she cultivated her strength in order to better protect the base. Moreover, her own contributions to the base were invaluable, not to mention these points.

Ye Shang never refused; it was indeed what she deserved. Although she didn't lack resources or anything, giving unconditionally was not a normal thing to do.

As darkness fell, the several superhumans who had gone out to investigate earlier flew back.

Two of them were soaked and shivering from the cold, but thankfully they were not injured.

The other person was not doing well; it seemed like there was still blood flowing from his leg.

Ye Shang narrowed his eyes, stood up, and walked to the group. "Are you injured?"

The person being helped up was the one whose leg was still bleeding.

Ye Shang called out, "Han Yi, go and call Ah Xiang over here."

Ah Xiang is the healing ability user we brought out this time.

Ye Shang first transferred some energy to him, then took out a plank bed from his spatial storage: "Help him lie down on it."

The two shivering men helped the injured man onto the wooden bed.

There were only five flying ability users in total. Wang Xin, who was injured earlier, was taken back to the camp by one of them. The other three followed Ye Shang and saw what the monster looked like. They then split into two groups to investigate.

The one who was injured was actually hurt while they were preparing to assemble.

Fortunately, the three reunited and managed to save the injured superhuman. However, their combat abilities were still too weak, the water monster they encountered was too ferocious, and they couldn't see very clearly in the dark.

Not only did he get soaked in the river, but he also injured his leg.

The temperature dropped sharply at night, which caused both of them to shiver from the cold.

Ye Shang took out two thick towels. "You guys go wash up first. I'll watch over things here. We'll talk about the rest later."

The two men took the towels and nodded, "Thank you, Captain Ye."

Boiling water is quick; with the help of fire-type and water-type ability users, a large tub of hot water can be ready in just a few seconds.
