Pei Xiqing's back stiffened, and he turned around in disbelief, facing several slightly older faces. "You are...?"
"Ms. Pei, could it be that you forgot about us so quickly?!"
Behind her stood several women carrying baskets, their eyes wrinkled as they sized her up unkindly. "Ms. Pei, why are you wearing a mask? We can see your figure at a glance. I didn't expect you to be so shy after not seeing you for a few days. Before, I asked you to marry my son, but you refused to agree. You even said you wanted to go to the apocalypse with some lousy captain to pursue your career. And now, after just a few days, you've come back in disgrace?"
"If you ask me, it's better to let men do things like going out and killing zombies. Women don't have the energy to go out and kill zombies. They should just do the laundry and cooking at home and wait for them to return with their loads. I don't think your Captain Xiao is a good guy either. He's not as reliable as my son. My son is in the base guard team and has a bright future ahead of him!"
…
Pei Xiqing understood.
These aunts mistook her for the original owner's sister Pei Yanting.
She lowered her voice and said, "You have the wrong person."
"How is that possible? We remember your figure clearly. Don't pretend you don't know us. My son has no shortage of women. We're giving you face by marrying him. So many people wanted to marry him before, but they were all rejected by our family. We only came to propose marriage because we saw that you have good conditions."
"You really have the wrong person. If you keep saying such nonsense, I will kill you."
Ling Lang came over and asked, "What are you doing?"
When the women saw Ling Lang, they were stunned at first: "Why...why did they change the captain again? My God, Miss Pei is really not simple. The men around her are one after another, just like her shameless sister..."
"Stop talking... the Miss Pei we saw before seemed thinner, right?" Someone noticed Ling Lang's strange look and quickly stopped him. "I remember that Miss Pei before had no flesh on her body at all. She was so skinny that she looked unrecognizable. She's nothing like this Miss with her curvy and beautiful figure."
They looked at each other and said, "That's right, we recognized the wrong person. We just thought his back looked different. Sorry, Captain."
Pei Xiqing stared at Fang Qi as they hurriedly left.
Pei Yanting couldn't help but ponder, had she been to this base before... How did she get involved with these people again? She thought... It seemed like a plot in a book, something that happened five days after the apocalypse. At that time, the original owner was still dealing with several men and had no idea about it and no memory of it.
It seems that Pei Yanting has been to many places in the past five years, and finally chose to leave with Xiao Yue.
Ling Lang said, "Are you not leaving yet?"
"Here I come."
"Do you know him?"
"I don't know him."
"Why do I feel like they know you? The Pei Yanting's sister they were talking about must be you."
"It's me."
Ling Lang nodded, "I knew it a long time ago."
"Then why are you asking?"
"Just to test whether you will lie to me."
The houses here are all independent, with high-rise buildings. The residential area really looks like a huge courtyard, and every household is full of people. When they arrived, many gossipy people popped out and looked over here.
"Who is that? Is that woman wearing a mask because she's too ugly to face people?"
"Who knows? I guess some guy from one of the teams is picking up another woman from outside. Tsk tsk tsk, looks like we're getting a new neighbor. No, why is he heading towards the house in front?"
"That seems to be the residence of a high-ranking official? Oh my god, who is this woman?"
"When you have time, go say hello and meet this new woman. Let's see what qualifications she has to live in such a nice place. By the way, who is the high-ranking officer living over there?"
"I'm not sure. My husband told me that it seems the person we've always called 'that gentleman' at the base is charging a lot of money. He actually didn't go to the First Base but came to our place. When my husband comes back tonight, I have to talk to him and ask him to send some gifts."
Pei Xiqing was led inside by Ling Lang until they stopped in front of a tightly closed door.
The house was of a very simple design, with an overall minimalist, wasteland style. There was a very large banyan tree next to it, extending all the way to the small window on the second floor. The surrounding houses had long been occupied, and the branches extending towards them had been cut off.
Ling Lang said, "The command to open the main door just now was 3A11##, which was given by the residents living here. Now you can set the command for this door."
"Can I?"
"Can."
