"Sister-in-law, this... I don't quite understand."
Xu Yi considered it for a moment before cautiously asking the question.
"Hmm, the Ming family? Mingye plans to make his move next month, so I'll let the Ming family get what they want first and force them to hand over the resources they have."
"As for how long I can sit in that position, I didn't say it wasn't possible."
Xunmi blinked innocently. Since they were all going to die soon anyway, they might as well make the most of their remaining value before they died.
Xu Yi's expression stiffened for a moment; it seemed this sister-in-law was no ordinary person either.
"Alright, everyone get back to work. Go to the trading hall tomorrow to pick up your tasks."
Ye Mingye told them to leave. They had finished talking, so why were they still lingering? Weren't they disturbing his time with his wife?
The others understood the implication and left.
Song Ziqian led his men to register for a hunting group, preparing to go on a mission together the next day.
Ling Chen also needs to add the new members and find Mingliang while he's at it.
And so, the night passed relatively peacefully, and Xunmi originally thought her luck was about to change.
But when he saw the two women in white dresses at the entrance of the base, he could only sigh and rub his forehead.
If you don't look closely, the two women really look alike, both in their figures and their delicate appearance.
And the delicate, innocent charm she exudes makes any man feel tenderness towards her.
Especially now that the two are having a pleasant conversation, could it be said that they are the same kind of people?
Xu Yi and Ling Chen, who had come out to search for Ye Mingye, naturally saw the two of them as well. Xu Yi didn't think anything of it.
Ling Chen immediately put on a stern face: "What's going on with Cheng Xinyao? Why is she with that woman?"
He would never forget that woman who had cursed him, and the insults were absolutely awful; most importantly, they made him want to vomit.
"Is there something wrong with that woman?" Xu Yi's eyelids twitched, and her heart began to pound with unease.
I had a feeling that everything was wrong when I saw the boss again.
"That woman is a complete lunatic. She dares to covet the boss. Doesn't she know who she is?"
Ling Chen disdained Mingmei and naturally wouldn't say anything nice, instead relentlessly criticizing her.
He also gave Xu Yi a briefing on what had happened along the way, with a special focus on Mingmei.
After hearing this, Xu Yi was speechless; this woman was indeed a freak.
But he had no time to complain now; why would Xin Yao stay with her?
"Xinyao is here for the first time too, so she doesn't know any of this. I'll tell her about it later."
Cheng Xinyao awakened a water-based superpower. Although the level is not high, only level two, water resources are very important in the apocalypse.
Ling Chen snorted coldly and caught up with the two who were already some distance ahead.
Xu Yi's eyes darkened. He didn't want to think about it anymore, but...
The base's troops are now under the command of another major, who is also responsible for issuing missions.
At that moment, the major was standing on the truck, passionately reciting his bold words before setting off.
Xunmi leaned against his red sports car and couldn't help but yawn.
That's right, that's how arrogant and pretentious she is.
Others would love to get rid of these sports cars and replace them with ones that have higher ground clearance and more space.
In search of this oddball, she turned this car into a symbol.
After all, luxury cars and beautiful women were highly sought after even before the apocalypse, let alone after.
But so far, only three people have gotten into her car.
My dearest husbands, Ling Chen and Song Ziqian.
As for the rest, I'm sorry, she didn't like them.
After the departure was announced, those who were to ride in military vehicles rode in military vehicles, and those who were to get into their own vehicles got into their own vehicles.
Soon, the place that used to house dozens of people was reduced to only about ten cars.
Seeking someone who drives with one hand on the car frame and the other on the frame, looking as relaxed as if on a trip.
"Boss, what do you think those old geezers are up to this time? They've mobilized so many people."
Ling Chen leaned back in his chair and asked the person in front of him a question.
Ye Mingye looked at the tablet in his hand, which displayed the route map for this mission.
"I heard there are level 5 zombies." Naturally, they want the crystal cores.
In less than six months, the evolution of zombies has been incredibly rapid.
Xunmi waved his hand dismissively: "Even if they get the crystal core, they won't live to enjoy it."
"However, I have heard that the laboratory seems to have discovered that the apocalypse was caused by an extraterrestrial virus."
"A meteorite fell the day before the virus spread."
"They say that if they find that thing, they can figure out a way to solve the apocalypse, but I don't know if it's true or not."
Anyway, she didn't believe it, not to mention that the meteorite wasn't mentioned in the original story's apocalypse.
Based solely on what she remembered, the day before the apocalypse also came without any warning.
I woke up to find the world had changed.
She actually thought some post-apocalyptic novels were quite plausible, with stories about scientists conducting crazy experiments and accidentally causing this disaster.
"Whether it's true or not, as long as it can end, that's all that matters."
"To be honest, it's difficult to rely on just those few old men."
Ling Chen is a straightforward person; he doesn't believe that people who only know how to do nothing can accomplish anything useful.
"They conducted human experiments," Song Ziqian said, his words sure to shock.
Xunmi lost her balance and floored the accelerator, nearly crashing into the car in front.
They quickly turned the steering wheel and slammed on the brakes, causing everyone to lurch forward due to inertia.
It's alright, it was just a close call, but everything was fine.
"Ziqian, what did you just say?" Xunmi thought that maybe there was something wrong with her ears.
"When I first learned about it, they were always using dead people. What happened after that... I don't know."
Song Ziqian didn't even catch his breath before explaining.
Xunmi frowned, heard the car behind him honking, stepped on the gas, restarted the car, and drove off.
"Actually, I should have realized it a long time ago; they would never give up human experimentation."
A shadow of darkness flashed in her eyes; in her previous life, Ming Xunmi had almost been sold into a laboratory by the Ming family.
But she didn't know what exactly happened, and it wasn't mentioned in the original work.
Later, after meeting her husband, she completely forgot about it.
During her two months at the base, she didn't hear any rumors or gossip, and she even visited the so-called slums.
Since no one said anything similar, she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Don't blame yourself, it wasn't your fault." Ye Mingye gently stroked Xunmi's hair.
He quickly withdrew his hand so as not to interfere with her driving.
Xunmi tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and the veins on his hands were faintly visible.
"Mingye, I don't want the B City base. I want to build our own post-apocalyptic paradise."
"The holy light that belongs to the end times!" At this moment, the ambition and aspirations of the seeker were ignited.
What belongs to others will always belong to others; even if you take it, it doesn't change the fact that it never truly belonged to you in the first place.
Since she couldn't change others, she decided to change herself.
I should have learned about the cruelty of the apocalypse long ago, shouldn't I?
Ye Mingye felt a pang of heartache, but even more so, he was captivated; such a search was dazzling.
