Hearing this, Ran Zhu's eyes lit up again. She looked up at Chi Xia and asked cautiously, "Is...is that so?"
“Yes.” Chi Xia nodded, giving her a definite answer: “We’re going to head north to build our own base. I know you don’t really like fighting or anything like that. Once the base is built, being a little housekeeper wouldn’t be bad.”
"Really? Sister Chi, you're going to build your own base? That's great!"
Ran Zhu excitedly waved her arms and legs, shouting, "I want to! I want to go with you!"
After saying that, she remembered something, turned around and asked one of her former teammates, "Captain, can I go with Sister Chi and the others?"
The captain gave a wry smile. Could he say no?
Putting aside the base, which is a place where people can come and go as they please, even with Chi Xia and Black Widow Zhang Xin around, he wouldn't dare say it's not allowed.
So he nodded: "Of course."
Upon hearing this, Ran Zhu gave him a grateful smile: "Thank you, Captain!"
The man was embarrassed by her grateful expression and quickly waved his hand, saying, "No, no need to thank me. It's really a matter of personal choice."
Ran Zhu had no luggage, only a bag she carried with her. After saying goodbye to the team, she left with Chi Xia and the others.
Originally, Zhang Xin, Chunli, and Qin Zhao were in one car, but after Ran Zhu joined them, he consciously squeezed in with Liu Daniu and the others.
The group set off again by car. Han Junche, unlike his flirtatious behavior a few days ago, remained silent the entire way.
Chi Xia felt that he was acting strangely, so she asked, "What's wrong with you? You're acting weird today."
"It's nothing." Han Junche looked at the car and ahead, his thin lips slightly pursed. After a brief silence, he suddenly said, "Chi Xia, I'm sorry."
Chi Xia was a little confused by his words and looked at him, saying, "Why are you apologizing to me when everything is fine?"
Han Junche tightened his grip on the steering wheel, then suddenly released one hand to shake Chi Xia's hand before letting go. His clear voice was low as he said, "I didn't let you kill Jia Li, firstly because I felt he was suffering more from being alive than dead, and secondly because I am truly grateful to the Jia family, not because they saved my life, but because they allowed me to meet you again."
Chi Xia didn't expect that this explanation would only arrive almost two months later.
"But now I realize I made a mistake."
Han Junche turned to look at Chi Xia and said seriously, "This world is a circle, and things keep going around in circles. Just like your relationship with Ye Wenxin, if you hadn't brought Ye Wenxin to the vicinity of Pingyun Base, perhaps those things wouldn't have happened. Or, if you had been more ruthless and killed her directly, Ranzhu's mother wouldn't have died."
Chi Xia nodded: "So?"
"So, I understand a principle now." Han Junche withdrew his gaze from her, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily; you must nip the weeds in the bud. Because you never know, a seemingly useless person might, after going around in circles, cause even greater trouble, just like Ye Wenxin."
Hearing this, Chi Xia felt somewhat surprised.
It wasn't the content of Han Junche's words that was unexpected, but rather the fact that Han Junche said them only now.
Because according to the original workings of this world, the male protagonist, after being pushed into a horde of zombies by the original owner, turned into a ruthless person who would never leave himself any future trouble.
That's why he succeeded.
When the original owner was replaced by himself, after many twists and turns, although he did not turn evil, he eventually moved closer to this style of behavior.
Chi Xia leaned back in her chair, a slight smile playing on her lips: "You're right, the world is a circle."
