Stirring Things Up in the Wasteland 210

Chapter 210

“It’s really a dog’s mouth that can’t spit out ivory.”

Song Ye rolled her eyes in annoyance. “Don’t worry, you’ll die before I do. I’ll definitely live longer than you.”

“Tsk! I don’t like hearing you say that. Wasn’t I just worried about you?”

Ai Fei shook her head and sighed, her face full of emotion. “But you actually said that about me. It really hurts my feelings.”

“Then I really thank you.”

Song Ye was very tired and too lazy to argue with Ai Fei anymore. She said directly, “Hurry up and tell your men to put down their weapons. Weren’t you just looking to see if there was anyone you were looking for in the car when you saw us coming from the direction of Menjing City? Can you just talk properly?”

In the end, Song Ye also complained, “Your mouth is just asking for a beating.”

Ai Fei giggled, but she didn’t object. After all, with her old friend here, she still trusted her.

Ai Fei waved her hand, and the thirty-something people who had been surrounding the van quickly all came back. Their movements were so fast that if you looked closely, you could even see that although everyone’s height and build were different, their expressions were the same, and their steps were very fast and neat.

You could tell at a glance that they were a well-trained group.

The van opened, and one by one, people jumped out. Most of them were Ning Mountain ability users led by Ji Chao and Wei Ke, but there were also a few from the first base. They clearly didn’t know Ai Fei, but as Xia Jin’s confidant, Zhan Qing did.

Zhan Qing had been in the car taking care of Xia Jin before and hadn’t paid much attention to the outside. It wasn’t until they all got out that he reacted. He poked his head out of the car window and was surprised.

“Boss Ai, how come you only…”

Bang!

Before Zhan Qing could finish, he was hit by a punch.

Ai Fei’s eyes were wide with anger. “Boss is boss. What’s with the ‘Boss Ai’? Can’t you speak? Can’t you call people properly? How is your mouth so asking for a beating?”

Song Ye rolled her eyes from the side and tilted her head to complain, “You’re the last one who has the right to say that about others.”

But Ai Fei didn’t agree with that. “I’m not as annoying as him.”

Song Ye tsked and shrugged.

With an acquaintance, things were easier. At least they wouldn’t fight.

The group drove for a while more and found a suitable place. The earth-type and wood-type ability users built a temporary shelter to rest.

In reality, if they weren’t picky, this wasn’t necessary at all. But considering the many injured, and the fact that it was still cold in the eternal night, and since they were all resting anyway, and since they had the conditions, they might as well be a little more comfortable.

It was just that the built shelter was too simple, but that was also normal. It was already very good to be able to shelter from the wind.

The first base and Ning Mountain were basically all injured, so Ai Fei had consciously taken on the task of guarding and patrolling. While Ai Fei was going to check on Xia Jin and Ye Bai’s situation, Song Xun approached Song Ye.

“Sis, desert white face, how did you get that nickname?”
“Get lost!”

Song Ye pushed Song Xun’s head away and glared at her in annoyance. “I’m telling you, don’t provoke me here. Go and do what you’re supposed to do.”

Song Xun giggled. “I’m just a little curious.”

Song Xun turned her head and asked again, “You guys seem to have a good relationship. You even give each other nicknames…”

“Who has a good relationship with that violent maniac?”

“Damn it! Don’t say that. Who has a good relationship with this white face!”
The voices, almost in unison, fell one after another. Song Xun, including the few people nearby, were taken aback for a moment, and then they all looked back and forth with a strange expression between the dark-faced Song Ye and the resentful Ai Fei.

And you call this no tacit understanding!

Tsk! Liar.

Although the two of them looked at each other with daggers, their relationship should be really not bad. So Song Xun was very tactful and took Ji Tang and left. She also waved her hand to send the nearby people away.

Go and rest. Aren’t you tired? Don’t just stand here.

When the people had left, the tense atmosphere between the two hadn’t eased much. Anyway, their words were always laced with sarcasm.

“You’re seriously injured, huh? How come you’ve become a useless cannon after all these years?”

“That’s still better than your bald head. What happened to your favorite white hair? Are you not wanting to be a white-haired mouse anymore and planning to become a monk?”

“I got rid of it because it was in the way. What’s it to you? White face.”

“At least I’m white. What about you? You can’t get white even if you want to. It’s been so many years, and now you’re even more of a black-haired mouse, right?”

“What do you know? This is healthy.”

“…”

As they were arguing, Ai Fei’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Right, I haven’t asked yet. Which base did you join? Old Xia’s or Old Ye’s? Come to my place. How about I make you a deputy base leader? You don’t have to do anything, and you’ll have a high standard of food and drink, and enough crystal cores. You’ll live in a big villa, and I’ll give you ten, no, a hundred Omegas. I’ll give you as many as you want. As long as you come and check in with me every day and say, ‘Hello, Base Leader, long live the Base Leader,’ and it would be best if you gave me…”

Bang!

Song Ye couldn’t stand it anymore and directly sent a fire over. Unfortunately, she was seriously injured. Although her external wounds had been healed by Ji Tang, her ability could not be healed.

This could only be replenished with crystal cores and time. The latter was even more important.

The problem was, she hadn’t had the time to recover her ability. So, well, that fire, it burned halfway, and before Ai Fei could even raise her fist to meet it, with a “bang,” it went out…

Song Ye was speechless…

Song Ye was so angry she was jumping up and down and cursing.

“Hahaha, wahahaha!”

Ai Fei laughed so hard she couldn’t stand up straight, and tears were streaming down her face. “White face, are you performing a juggling act for me?”

Ai Fei tremblingly took out a few crystal cores from her pocket and threw them. “Here, a tip. I’ll give you all of them. Do it again, hahaha.”
“Damn it, get lost!”

Song Ye was about to collapse, so angry she was cursing.

Ai Fei was so amused, she finally squatted down, holding her stomach, and cackled. But soon, she raised her head, her gaze in the not-so-dazzling light of the car lights behind her, and even her expression, became serious. “What’s the situation in Menjing City?”

Song Ye was silent. “Not good.”

“Tell me specifically?”

“Have you seen a zombie siege? We almost died there. What else is there to say?”

Song Ye sighed and spread her hands, indicating that she didn’t want to recall anything that had happened in Menjing City at all. She felt that that period was too dark, and she would have nightmares and wake up scared.

But as she was speaking, Song Ye asked again, “What about the situation outside? About the Corpse Slayers, what do you know?”

“It’s very complicated.”

Song Ye rolled her eyes. “Can’t you just be concise?”

“Let’s wait until Old Xia and Old Ye wake up.”

Ai Fei scratched her head. “I haven’t figured out some things myself.”

“Then why did you come here? Right, where are you now? Your base?”

“In the Northeast region.”

Ai Fei explained, “The last mission location before the disaster was there. When the disaster came, we couldn’t leave, so we were trapped there and settled down.”

Ai Fei sighed. “When the communication wasn’t completely cut off, I had heard about your base. After that, there was no news. I really thought you were dead.”

This was not a joke. Ai Fei’s expression was very serious. She patted Song Ye’s shoulder and smiled. “It’s good that you’re alive.”

After a couple of seconds, Ai Fei repeated, “It’s good that you’re alive.”

Song Ye also nodded and smiled.

The two of them didn’t say much more on this issue. Some things, as long as you could understand the meaning, that was enough. People like them didn’t need so many sentimental words to express their concern. That would be too ugly.

“By the way, who was that person who was talking to me just now?”

Ai Fei was curious. “I heard her call you sis. Is she your sister?”

As she spoke, Ai Fei suddenly seemed to remember something. “By the way, I did hear before that you have a sister. Is it her?”

“Yes, her name is Song Xun.”

Ai Fei giggled. “She’s very strong. I can feel it.”
“Of course.”

Song Ye proudly raised her head. “My sister, she’s only stronger than me, not weaker.”

Although Ai Fei didn’t know Song Ye’s ability level, after all, it had been so many years since they had seen each other, and they hadn’t fought. But after knowing each other for so many years, she still understood Song Ye’s personality of never telling a lie.

A person who could be praised by Song Ye like this…

Ai Fei licked her dry, chapped lips, and a hint of a full-blown fighting spirit appeared. “Then she’s worth a fight.”

Song Ye was speechless. “You should calm down.”

Ai Fei giggled. She retracted her gaze from Song Xun, who was just now holding Ji Tang and going to rest, and then said, “Do you guys still have food? We still have some dry rations.”

“We still have some.” Song Ye nodded.

“How much?”

“What are you trying to do?”

Song Ye immediately became alert. “Didn’t you say you have food?”

Ai Fei rubbed her hands and smiled. “We do, but not much. You guys have a spatial ability user, right? Do you still have water? Give us some. For the sake of our many years of friendship.”

Song Ye was speechless. “If you want food, just say it. Why beat around the bush and probe?”

“I was just thinking, if you have it, you can support me. If you don’t, I’ll support you by eating and drinking sparingly. We’ll support each other.”

“Just say it directly next time you talk. I hate it when you beat around the bush.”

Song Ye gave Ai Fei a deep look and sighed. “Wait. I’ll go get it for you.”

As Song Ye turned around, she was still thinking, not a single change, not a single change. Still that violent maniac and thick-skinned person.

When Song Ye went to find Song Xun, Song Xun had just sent Ji Tang back to a wooden house to rest.

The ordeal in Menjing City, and having performed the extreme healing technique many times to save people, Ji Tang herself was tired, but she just kept herself tense and refused to rest. She was pushed back into the wooden house by Song Xun, lay on the bed moved out of the space, covered with a soft blanket, and soon fell asleep.

The two sisters met at the entrance of the door.

“Is Ji Tang asleep?” Song Ye lowered her voice and was very polite not to look in.

“Yes.”

Song Xun nodded, instructed the little ball of light to stay behind and watch Ji Tang, and then carefully came out. “What’s wrong, sis?”

“We need some food.”

“Alright.”

Regarding Song Ye’s business, since Song Ye didn’t say, Song Xun didn’t ask. She just found a bag in her space, filled it with a lot of steamed buns, meat patties, and water, and handed it over.

Song Ye nodded and took it. “I’ll send it to Ai Fei and the others. I’ll come back later to talk to you about Menjing City.”

“Okay.”

Song Ye came back very quickly, about ten minutes later. Ji Chao was behind her, and the others had all gone to rest.

With Ai Fei’s people on guard and patrol, Song Ye said it was safe, and they didn’t have to worry, so everyone went to rest.

Song Xun was waiting outside Ji Tang’s wooden house, sitting on the ground, a wrap in her mouth, eating with gusto. Seeing the two of them come over, she handed them the bag she had prepared next to her and continued to eat.

Song Ye and Ji Chao also simply sat on the ground and shared the wraps.

“Tell me, what’s the situation in Menjing City?”

Song Xun said vaguely, “I went to find Wronged and made a deal with it.”

They were all her own people, so Song Xun said it. But afraid of being overheard, she was a little vague about the parts concerning the world’s will and the White Light Stone, but the two of them understood.

After a few words, Song Ye and Ji Chao were both clear.

“Now that the Corpse Slayers have appeared in large numbers, if we don’t find a way to stop them, then the human extinction you saw is very likely to be true.”

Song Ye thought for a moment. “But to deal with the Corpse Slayers, you can’t get around the people who created them.”

Ji Chao didn’t quite understand. “So, what does this have to do with the evolved beings you mentioned?”

“The so-called evolved beings…”

Song Xun propped her chin on her hand and thought for a moment. “In reality, I don’t understand the principle of their formation either. I’ve just seen them in a hallucination. They each represent a certain power of the world.”

And the so-called “world” referred to the will of the world.

“…Among them, the strongest is Heaven.”

Song Xun pondered, and after a long moment, she sighed. “I only knew this name from Wronged. I don’t know what they are all transformed from.”

“And I don’t know what power they all represent. And I don’t know where they are. What are they all called?”

“One is Wronged, one is Heaven.”

Ji Chao scratched his head. “That’s quite a coincidence. They’re all single characters.”

Song Ye said, “Then what do you plan to do? Do you have a plan?”

Song Xun giggled, but her eyes were a little grave. “I do.”

But whether it would work or not, she couldn’t do it on her own. It was too slow. The specifics would have to wait until Xia Jin woke up.
