Chapter 271 The Former Female Protagonist of the Apocalypse Who Became Cannon Fodder (The End) Liu Yiyi…
Liu Yiyi took two bottles of spiritual spring water and exchanged a branch and a leaf with the little peach tree and cactus, then handed them to Lin You.
"Sister, I don't think you need anything else. You can grow peach trees and cacti like this, so maybe they'll be useful to you." She had planned to give all the spiritual spring water she had saved to Lin You, but Lin You refused.
"I'll take these two, but I don't need the spiritual spring; I don't need that." Lin You accepted the peach branch and the cactus leaf and put them into her space.
While Lin You wasn't paying attention, the space quietly changed; the space, which was originally somewhere between reality and illusion, secretly froze a little bit.
Xiao Tiandao looked at the things Liu Yiyi gave to Lin You and his heart ached. "You spendthrift girl! Do you even know what those things are before you give them away?!"
In the beginning, this world was just a low-level plane without spirits. Later, it was infected by a dark energy, and humans would turn into zombies and perish. Until Xiaotiandao accidentally obtained a high-energy energy and distributed the energy throughout the world.
Because of its adaptability, this energy is more suitable for plants. There are almost no mutated animals, and only humans, under the deliberate favor of the heavens, have produced some superhumans.
Among them, the peach tree and the cactus, which will become dominant in the future, are two of the plants that receive the most energy.
Little Heavenly Dao specially arranged a cheat system for his beloved daughter. The energy of these plants, after being transformed by the spiritual spring of the cheat system, can be absorbed and enhanced by superhumans, which is the foundation for the entire world to advance to the intermediate plane.
It doesn't matter if these energies are used in this world; whoever obtains them will ultimately receive the original energy of this world.
But the spendthrift daughter gave it all to Lin You directly. She had promised to give Lin You some source power after he helped her, but this was far too much.
Moreover, what Liu Yiyi gave was a private transaction between them, which was not within the scope of the original promise. In other words, Xiao Tiandao still had to give Lin You another salary.
He accepted the salary willingly. Although Lin You did not do much, he activated the rescue mode as soon as he arrived in this world and successfully maintained the basic order of the world.
Afterwards, she taught it to her own daughter. It was a beast-taming technique that was practically tailor-made for this world, and it also allowed mutated plants and humans to have a friendly way of getting along.
In fact, given this person's talisman-drawing skills, if he wanted to complete the mission, he only needed to give Liu Yiyi more talismans, which would basically guarantee her survival in the apocalypse.
But what Lin You did far exceeded the scope of her mission, which is perhaps why she was able to gain the gratitude of Heaven.
Liu Yiyi wrote on the message board Lin You gave her again, and just like the previous group of people, she refused to let Lin You read the previous content, but she revealed a little bit of information: the previous comments were all five-star reviews.
Lin You secretly rolled her eyes at her; it was no different from saying nothing at all.
"Sister Tong, you must come back to see me when you have the chance in the future." Liu Yiyi hugged her arm again and acted coquettishly. "I will definitely cook a table full of delicious food for you then."
As for now, let it go. She's still at the level of terrible cooking. She can always learn more from the food system in the future.
"Don't stay in the shop all the time. Take the kids out for some fresh air every other day. With them around, no one can do anything to you," Lin You advised with some concern.
"Also, when looking for a partner, never choose someone who likes to take advantage of others, has a family to support, and is shameless. They are obviously not the kind of person you can build a life with."
Although the two were not speaking loudly, they did not try to hide from others. Long Yu, who had come to practice his verbal skills with the cactus, happened to hear them. He froze for a while before hurriedly ending the argument and slipping away.
It can't be my imagination, can it? I have a feeling that every word this big shot says is loaded with meaning, just like the anonymous official megaphone back then.
Many people didn't take seriously the woman who stayed in the corner of the "Since We're Here" shop all day, rarely speaking and doing any work. Some even whispered that Lin You was a poor relative of Boss Liu, who stayed in the shop to keep idle people around.
But as one of the earliest superhumans to join the official organization, he had witnessed Lin You's abilities and heard some of the official legends.
This person is very likely a reclusive cultivator, sent from the cultivation world to save it. Judging from Boss Liu's reluctant departure, this big shot has probably already achieved his goal and is about to ascend back to heaven!
But why is it that when the big boss was about to ascend to immortality, his last words before leaving were to tell Boss Liu not to date someone like him?!
Long Yu lowered his head somewhat self-consciously. Was he really not suited to have a girlfriend? Then why was Xiao Sa Ying, a person with precognitive abilities, so persistent in pursuing him?
The phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Long Yu glanced at it and answered casually, "Old Cheng, what's up? You didn't run out of contribution points to buy cigarettes again, did you? You should smoke less, you're not getting any younger."
Despite saying this, Long Yu quickly transferred 100 contribution points to him. Cheng Xiao was always generous; once he had money in his pocket, he couldn't help but spend it on the team.
Especially with the recent internet access and easier communication, several members of their team have even found children who were separated from them during the apocalypse.
The older children were teenagers, and the youngest was only six years old. They were at the age where they were making a ruckus and running around. Cheng Xiao couldn't save any money. He spent all his money on snacks and toys, which amused the children so much that they liked to hug his legs and call him godfather.
Cheng Xiao ignored Long Yu's teasing, his voice unusually serious: "Brother Long, do you remember where we originally planned to go when Xiao Saying made her second prophecy?"
So much time has passed, Long Yu doesn't remember very clearly, only vaguely recalling some things, "It's a shopping mall not far from where we live now, right? What's wrong?"
Cheng Xiao's voice became more serious and slightly lowered, "That day was the day Boss Lin saved Boss Liu. The address was the east gate of the mall we were going to. Luo Yang just saw the two of them there, and Boss Liu was feeling quite emotional."
Long Yu frowned, also noticing something was wrong, when he heard Cheng Xiao continue, "Moreover, Shen Junhao also said that he saw Xiao Saying go to the corner where Boss Liu was rescued for a while, as if she was looking for something but couldn't find it, and her face was particularly dark when she came out."
"You mean, if Xiao Saying hadn't appeared, we might have saved Boss Liu, and then, with her abilities, improved the combat power of all the superhumans in our team."
Could this be the reason why Xiao Sa Ying keeps saying I should dominate the world?
Long Yu was racking his brains, but he didn't make things difficult for himself. He went directly to Zhao Feng and explained his speculations one by one.
After finishing speaking, he concluded, "It's probably because of her interference that the original cause and effect were disrupted, leading to Boss Liu's accident, which is why the cultivators had to come to the rescue."
Zhao Feng had no idea that his guess was very close to reality. He reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Captain Long has quite the imagination. If the apocalypse ends, you can even write fantasy novels."
Although he said that, Zhao Feng didn't take it lightly and soon went over to chat with Xiao Saying.
This time, he also specially prepared a bottle of fine wine and a table of snacks to go with it. Xiao Saying was always self-disciplined when she was an assassin in her world, and she never touched anything that would affect her actions.
But after she arrived in the apocalypse and ate compressed biscuits and canned food for several months before returning to a normal diet, Xiao Saying became less particular about her food.
After all, if we don't eat now, we might not be able to eat it again someday. Compared to delicious food, those killer rules are nothing.
Zhao Feng's reason for drinking was quite valid: it was the first anniversary of the apocalypse. He had managed to govern the apocalypse to its current state within a year, which was indeed worth celebrating.
"It's much safer now. We'll apply to the higher-ups to improve Comrade Xiao's benefits. Although he's one of our most important core personnel, he can't stay here all the time. He needs to go out and stretch his legs."
Zhao Feng's persuasion was so sincere, as if Xiao Saying didn't go out because she was lazy and unwilling to go out.
There aren't many twists and turns in the assassin's circle. Xiao Saying felt that something was off about what he said, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Before she could think about it further, Zhao Feng's action of pouring wine interrupted her train of thought.
"This wine is a treasured possession of our old leader. I specially went to the wine cellar to pick it out while he was away. It's just that Comrade Xiao and I hit it off immediately. I really admire your ability. How about we have a few drinks together today?"
Zhao Feng brought it over, and it wasn't exactly a strong liquor. It only had a clean, refreshing aroma, and the alcohol content on the bottle wasn't high either. Xiao Saying didn't refuse; she took the glass and took a small sip.
The wine was smooth and slightly mellow in her mouth, with a hint of rich aroma. Soon, a warm feeling spread throughout her body. Xiao Saying narrowed her eyes slightly and gently rubbed her fingers on the wine glass. This feeling was not unpleasant.
Zhao Feng wasn't in a hurry to force-feed him alcohol. Instead, he advised, "This is your first time drinking. Don't rush it. Eat a couple of bites of food first to calm down. We're not here to have a drinking contest."
Xiao Saying sipped her wine and ate her food, quickly becoming slightly tipsy, and started talking.
If Zhao Feng asked her about things like how many people she had killed, Xiao Saying might be wary, but if he talked about food and drink, she wouldn't be on guard.
Under subtle guidance, Xiao Saying slowly revealed some things, including the truth that Long Yu had guessed, and the fact that she was actually a time traveler who could not foresee the future.
Liu Yiyi had been following Lin You closely, intending to reminisce about their time together, starting from the shopping mall where they first met, and ending with a delicious meal.
As a result, the two of them had just finished visiting the place where they first met when her sister, who was so beautiful and charming, was snatched away by the officials.
Lin You was somewhat incredulous when she heard that they wanted her to deal with the transmigrators herself. Xiao Sa Ying didn't seem to be stupid, so how could she have let this information slip?
When Lin You saw that Zhao Feng was in charge of Xiao Sa Ying, she wasn't surprised at all. Few people could resist his coaxing skills.
However, when he asked indirectly whether he had achieved perfect merit and was about to ascend to heaven in broad daylight, Lin You still couldn't find a way to respond.
She originally wanted to say that someone like Xiao Saying didn't matter much and could be dealt with directly, but then she suddenly received a message from Xiao Tiandao.
He had already spoken with the Heavenly Dao of Xiao Sa Ying's original world, instructing that Heavenly Dao to take her back and subject her to legal judgment based on the crimes she had committed.
Lin You had very little time left to stay. After refusing Xiao Tiandao's offer to create a daytime ascension effect for her, Lin You picked up Xiao Saying and disappeared from the spot.
