"Zhu Mu," Ji Yueyao suddenly interrupted Zhu Mu, "I don't care about your motives or your thoughts. I just want you to know that I hate people who betray others."
Perhaps Xu Lingnan's betrayal was too deeply etched in her memory, because whenever Ji Yueyao mentioned the word "betrayal," the wound on her leg would ache faintly. This pain seemed to constantly remind her of the dangers around her and to constantly erode her innocence.
Zhu Mu was stunned, and his face turned deathly pale. "Captain, I know you don't trust me very much yet, but from the moment you saved me... my life belongs to you! I, Zhu Mu, swear to God that I will never betray you."
Ji Yueyao turned around, looked at Zhu Mu's pale face, and finally sighed and nodded. In fact, she knew that from the moment she saved Zhu Mu, she had to bear the responsibility for everything that would happen, good or bad, it was all up to her.
"I understand, remember what you said." Trust him this time.
Because they didn't take the route built by the military, it would take Ji Yueyao and his group about ten days to get from Nanxiao Base to Xiyu Base. However, on the third day, Kaqi and Tiankong started to get carsick.
"Let's get out of the car and rest for a while," Ji Yueyao said softly to Bai Yi, looking at Kaqi's pale face.
"Hmm." Termite nodded, looked at the desolate and lifeless wasteland outside, and found a flat spot to park the car.
"Ah... I can't take it anymore..." The bulging eyes in the sky darted around, clearly indicating that the person was quite dizzy.
Ji Yueyao got out of the car speechlessly, holding Tiankong in his hands. He was very drunk. At first, Tiankong was very excited, looking at this and that, but after only ten minutes, he suddenly became incoherent, as if he was drunk and quite dizzy.
"I said it's normal for Kachi to get carsick, how come you, a skull, also get carsick?" Ji Yueyao felt she was really speechless.
The sky was furious, glaring at Ji Yueyao, though its power was greatly reduced due to its weakness. "Isn't this the first time I've done this!"
Ji Yueyao fell silent. When other people get carsick, it's because their stomach is upset and they feel dizzy and uncomfortable. But you're carsick... what's wrong with you?
Can bones or eyeballs really cause motion sickness?
"Let's take a break," Ji Yueyao sighed.
The termite nodded and got out of the car to check its condition. There was still enough gasoline, but if the car had a problem, having more gasoline wouldn't help.
Kachi stood beside the car, one hand on the door, breathing heavily. Looking at the filthy vomit on the ground, a few drops of cold sweat silently rolled down her pale face.
"Are you alright?" Zhu Mu patted Kachi on the back and handed her a tissue.
Kachi was too weak to speak; she leaned against the car door and simply shook her head.
"Kaki, I remember you didn't get carsick at all when you came here, you were just sitting in the car the whole time?" Ji Yueyao walked over and patted Kaqi's back, puzzled. "Why are you so carsick on the way back this time?"
"I don't know, is it because I ate too much?" Kachi shook her head, and only after feeling a little better did she straighten up and say, "I just feel dizzy."
"I guess it's because you're too tired." Termite walked over and put his hand on Kachi's arm. After examining her carefully with his supernatural ability for a while, he said, "You just need to rest. Your physical condition isn't very good right now."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yueyao glanced at Kaqi, whose eyes were somewhat dark, and said softly, "Kaki, why don't you go to the car and get some sleep? You've had a hard time these past few days."
In the past few days, Kaqi has been working day and night on the rearrangement of the Nanxiao base. She not only has to deal with the abandoned areas, but also consider the rearrangement of new buildings. After all, she is mainly responsible for living matters, but there are just too many things to do during the reconstruction of the base.
Although everyone was very busy, Kachi was not a superhuman, and her mental abilities couldn't keep up with the speed of those superhumans. Thinking of this, Ji Yueyao lowered her eyes with some guilt and said, "I'm sorry, Kachi, I haven't been paying attention to your physical condition."
"It's okay, I did it willingly. I'm happy to be able to help you." Kachi shook her head, smiled weakly, opened the car door, and got into the car.
"Let's rest here for now," Ji Yueyao said with a sigh.
No one objected. Some kept watch, others checked the cars. Ji Yueyao, holding the sky, casually walked around for a couple of steps. Although the weather wasn't as cold as in winter, the gusts of wind were still unbearable.
"Maybe I should just go back to the car," Ji Yueyao said quietly.
"No way!" Sky refused Ji Yueyao firmly, refusing to get in the car no matter what. "I want to enjoy the scenery outside."
"Heh~" Ji Yueyao patted the sky's head and smiled slyly where the sky couldn't see, "I said I was going back to the car, not you."
"..." A bad feeling suddenly arose in the sky.
The next moment, the sky's premonition came true. It watched Ji Yueyao walk away and get into the car, its eyes darting around angrily. "Ji Yueyao, you really left me here!"
The voice naturally reached Ji Yueyao's mind. She chuckled, rolled down the car window, and leaned out, saying, "You should enjoy the scenery first."
"You!" The sky was frozen, but since it had no feet or wings, it couldn't fly to Ji Yueyao no matter what it tried.
Seeing Ji Yueyao's joyful smile, Kaqi said with some envy, "Yueyao, you're so amazing. No matter how many times I see you talking to the sky, I still find it so magical."
"Hehe, I feel like a weirdo." Ji Yueyao chuckled and took out a piece of bread from her backpack, chewing on it. "Want some?"
"No need, I'm not hungry." Kachi shook her head, her face still pale and worrying.
Ji Yueyao shook her head, stuffed a piece of bread into her mouth, and said, "You should get some sleep first, otherwise you won't be able to rest well once the car starts moving."
Kachi nodded obediently, too weak to speak further, "Mmm."
Seeing that Kaqi had already fallen asleep, Ji Yueyao took out a coat from her luggage and put it on him. Then she gathered her own clothes and quietly went out.
"Captain, why did you come out? It's so warm inside the car." Zhu Mu, who was on guard around, came over and asked Ji Yueyao after seeing her come out, thinking she had something to say.
“Kachi is asleep, I’m afraid of disturbing her.” Ji Yueyao glanced at the car and gestured for Zhu Mu to speak more quietly.
Zhu Mu nodded knowingly, gave Ji Yueyao a silly smile, and continued his patrol.
Why is this bamboo and wood laugh so silly? Ji Yueyao was speechless. After taking a few steps forward, she squatted down and looked around.
The scenery of this desolate land was still the same, with black, sticky stuff everywhere and a strange smell all around... but she seemed to be a different person than before.
Ji Yueyao casually wiped the black, sticky substance on the ground with her foot, sniffed, and stood up. Tsk, seeing this really triggered her OCD; she thought she was almost completely recovered. (To be continued.)
