Chapter 180 Farewell to South Sea Island(1/2)
[Only released by Jinjiang Literature City]
After You Xi completed the transaction with Zhou Ningyuan, she drove a silver RV and started the business routine of Star House "bartering" in Star House.
However, the first stop of this business was on the beach outside the hotel where she and Fan Qi and Youfeng stayed.
Apart from their own homes, there are only more than 20 people in Weijie's team living in the hotel. So today she came for Weijie and the others.
The people in Weijie's team have been very upset recently. Although they were wrongly accused of robbing food by Shao Liang's team before, they were very angry and they broke up and left the cliff hotel overnight. But the more casual he was when he left, the more panicked he would be in the future.
Most of the hotels nearby are damaged by plants in their eyes, the exterior walls are damaged, and they are occupied by mutant animals.
On the night of check-in, they were attacked. It was a huge owl. Somehow I felt the people in the building and slapped the glass window on the balcony and slapped half of the glass.
After several team members living in this room woke up, the owl's head was stuck in the glass frame and was trying to drill in.
This scene scared them. Hotels and hotels are different. In order to look south, the room faces south, not only many windows, but also the windows and sliding doors are full of large glass. Even if they find a room with no damage to the glass, they can still close the doors and windows.
Wei Jie, who heard the sound, stopped the team members from using a knife to deal with the owl, and finally drove away the owl with fire.
However, they didn't dare to live in this room anymore. They went to other team members overnight to squeeze in for the night.
Sure enough, the owl came again after that night. But he still stared at the original room. This time there was no one in the room. It finally successfully broke through and entered the room.
Later, the next day, the team members were ready again to enter the room carefully. They found that the owl had left and the sliding door of the balcony was broken into pieces. They carefully searched the room and finally found a clue.
Before they came, the balcony door of this room was always open, so the owl probably regarded the house as a nest. There were many scattered feathers and leftover animal bones in the corner of the balcony. They hurried in last night and did not check carefully, which was equivalent to moving into the owl's nest. No wonder it was attacked by it in the middle of the night.
They then re-checked the temporary rooms and reduced the seven rooms that were originally scattered into four, in order to gather more people in the same room and fight against the enemy when the night comes.
But so many people crowded together, the quality of life has dropped significantly. In addition, the hotel is too big and well-connected, so many hidden corners may be hidden in mutated creatures that they don’t know about.
Since they checked in the hotel, they have not been able to have a good night's sleep. Even Bai Tianwei and others are not at ease that all the young and middle-aged people have left to search for supplies. In contrast, the Youxi family, who also lives in the hotel, seems particularly powerful.
Someone in the team once said that they would either ask for help from the other party or move to the next door of their floor to live, so that they could take care of each other.
But this proposal was rejected by Weijie.
Whatever you say is to take care of each other. With the combat effectiveness of their team, if they move over, it is equivalent to dependent on more than 20 people of all sizes on the other party and let the other party take care of their team one-sidedly.
Sister Wei couldn't do such shameless things, let alone if the other party was really angry and moved away directly, they would have no one to ask for help at a critical moment.
Fortunately, they have enough food for the time being, and even if they don’t go out for a trip, they still have something to eat. So these days, Sister Wei has been taking a few right-hand assistants to check out other shelters nearby. First, after Shao Liang’s incident, they have to find a reliable new shelter, and secondly, they have to live there for more than 20 people, big and small, or the other party is willing to accept them.
Unfortunately, the slightly more reliable buildings or places with fewer mutated animals and plants nearby are already crowded, and she has not made any progress in her travels for several days.
After she got up that day, she studied the map with the team members and circled it on the map, indicating that she wanted to go to a farther place to try her luck.
As a result, they had just stepped onto the beach and saw a silver RV standing across the beach.
On the long table at the window of the RV, there is an induction cooker. The owner of the "Star House" is frying fragrant egg cakes in a frying pan.
The oil was hot, and the white and round quick-frozen cake noodles were put into the pot immediately, making a thorny sound. The other party slowly knocked two eggs on the cake noodles, sprinkled some salt and pepper, sprinkled some chopped green onions, and then turned over with the cake noodles. There was another thorny sound. The beautiful sound left "tears" directly from the corners of their mouths.
"Sister Wei! It's Xingxing House! That's great. I haven't seen Xingxing House appear nearby for many days! I'm still open outside the hotel where we stay. Do you know that we don't have much food to save us? Wuwuwu egg cakes are so fragrant!"
"Sister Wei! Come on! The owner wrote the brand and gave him a piece of egg cake after a successful transaction. Although the owner cut a piece of cake into four portions, one portion was also very large!"
"Wuwuwuwei sister rushed towards the egg cake!"
Sister Wei:...
In the end, she couldn't resist the team members, so the crowd returned to the hotel again, took out some mutated fruits he had found the day before, and went forward to exchange them with his teeth.
You Xi received the fruit they handed over, but instead gave them the food and fresh water they imagined, he handed out an envelope.
In the envelope, there is a check-in permit order, which states that a group of 22 people led by Weijie can use this permit order to move into the official shelter on the other end of the city.
It is also the official base closest to them. The permit order states that the elderly over 60 and children under 14 in the team can receive official material subsidies every week.
The problem that has troubled them for many days has been solved at once.
Sister Wei and several team members were stunned when they looked at the permit order.
How could the "Star House" know what they need most?
How did the other party get the base check-in permit? There are also the subsidies for the elderly and children. My sister knows that only teams that have contributed to the base can receive such preferential treatment!
But they haven't even gone to the base now, how could it be?
Sister Wei calmed down and looked at the other party and said, "Actually, we are not twenty-two people, there are three more people. Can they go together?" She knew that the Youxi family did not like private shelters because they disliked the noise of people.
But this is an official base, with troops stationed, and the safety factor is not of the same level at all!
"They don't need it, you'd better plan the route and bring your team to the base safely first." You Xi didn't expect that Sister Wei could still think about her family at this time.
She thought about it and took out a 30l portable oil barrel from the RV (Xingwu Warehouse) and handed it directly to another team member. "Those should be enough, just find the car by yourself. There are quite a lot of buses and minibuses nearby."
"Ah?" The other party took the oil barrel and opened his mouth in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Another team member reacted and thanked him repeatedly. He was quick to say a lot of rainbow farts. You Xi was a little funny and put the egg cake that had just been cut into four parts into a disposable box and handed it to the other party.
Sister Wei looked at the other person and felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart, both gratitude and emotion.
Since the end of the world, she has met and contacted all kinds of people, and she can speak principles and do what she says, and equivalent exchange is already very rare.
With such unilateral giving or such immeasurable help, she had no idea what to say to express her mood at the moment.
But You Xi doesn't need the other party's thanks for doing these things.
This is her native world. When the end of the world comes, she and her parents watch others struggle to survive under the turmoil of mutated animals and plants. If they are stingy in giving any help while ensuring their own safety, they will not even be able to pass this level of their own.
Xingmin once said that as long as she does not die, her native world will not be invaded by the system tower and will not fall into the mission world.
Therefore, this world has long become part of her mission without realizing it.
She is not the kind of Virgin Mary who sacrifices herself and blindly gives sacrifices. She cannot save people all over the planet and distributes supplies to everyone. But she is willing to help those who can see this happening around her.
This is something she wants, so no need to thank.
You Xi smiled at the other party: "The journey went smoothly."
Then, the silver RV disappeared on the beach along with herself.
In the following days, "Star House" continued to open a daily barter business, but she calculated the remaining time and knew that she didn't have much time left in the South China Island, and did not spend all her time on opening a store. Instead, she used sea water and plants to repeatedly practice ice control ability (floating ice fishing to make seafood) and plant affinity (looking for delicious mutant fruits).
During this period, I went to the near base and contacted Zhao Xuefei with a transparent mobile phone. The other party made an appointment with her to meet.
You Xi guessed that the other party asked her to meet her this time to talk about leaving, so she drove an off-road RV again the next day and went to the near base.
"are you sure?"
In fact, You Xi was a little surprised by Zhao Xuefei's decision, and I can't say much. In her heart, the probability ratio of Zhao Xuefei's departure and staying with them is: 55:45.
The difference is that she did not expect that in just three or four months, the other party had gained unscathed friends and comrades-in-arms.
Humans are flocking animals. Although the material living conditions at the base are not that good, they can accompany her to live and die with her. They will smile and comfort her comrades when she is in a low mood. Obviously, the material gap is completely compensated for in the soul.
What's more, the cancer in the base is now cleared, and the new planting plan is in full swing. With the notes of the mutated plant she left behind, life here will definitely get better.
And Youli also has a brand new life and people who care about it here. Zhao Xuefei feels that she can't let go of all this and leave You Xi and the others.
"Well, if the animals and plants are just mutated, I may not hesitate at all. I will take my mother with you. Even if my mother and your mother will quarrel in the future, that will be the future. But now it is different... I finally learned to rely on myself. Now I sleep very soundly every day, and my mother and I are used to this kind of life... We can live a good life."
You Xi looked at the other party: "But if you follow us, life will be more comfortable. I can't say some things for the time being, but I think you know that what you gave up may be a life without any worries at all."
"I know what I gave up." Zhao Xuefei looked at her with bright eyes. If she had just guessed before - the guess that was observed from the details of some cooking food and making coffee and milk tea in Youxi, now that the other party said this, she could almost confirm it.
So, there is no stranger in this world who will give her a sense of security and familiarity?
The reason why she could feel reassuring familiarity when she first met was because that was her relatives.
But this should also be You Xi’s biggest secret. Once a little bit is leaked, it will bring endless trouble to her and her parents in the future.
So, even if there is such a speculation, Zhao Xuefei didn't ask.
Everyone has their own opportunities, she has them, and the other party has them.
You Xi looked at her and smiled slowly: "Thank you." Thank you for your guesswork, but you didn't ask in detail.
"What are you thanking, sister, I don't understand what you said."
You Xi pressed the other party's head and told her that Zhou Ningyuan owed a promise.
In You Xi's view, this is equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death. At a critical moment, when it is needed most, it is a way out for Zhao Xuefei to retain.
As long as Zhou Ningyuan is alive, she will always have a way out.
After making the decision and saying it out, Zhao Xuefei also put down a stone that was pressing on her heart.
Afterwards, the two discussed and Zhao Xuefei took Youli out of the base and went to wait for the nearby off-road vehicle to meet You Feng and Fan Qi.
It was only the day before the meeting that Yuli was told by her daughter that she had accidentally met her elder brother and sister-in-law's family.
After learning that the other party was safe and had met Zhao Xuefei a few days ago, Youli beat her daughter for the first time: "What are you thinking? I'll tell me until now? Why, I'm afraid that my mother will still have anger and make a fuss with my brother at this time!"
"Don't I understand you, they are doing well, much better than me and you. I'm afraid you will be angry again..."
"This is turning around and saying that I'm stingy and jealous, right?"
"Then you have to prove it with facts and convince me."
"Stupid girl! You wait!" You Li was so angry that she held her breath, determined to prove that she was only moved and joy when she saw her relatives again in such a general environment.
But when she saw the steel giant RV, she was shocked.
