GBP Chapter 273 Lake Water
Chapter 273 Lake Water
"I...I..." Zhao Sheng's body trembled slightly, her voice filled with disbelief and despair.
Seeing her like this, He Jiang couldn't bear it and turned her head away, not daring to speak or let her see her expression.
Ji Yan looked at Zhao Sheng and said in a deep voice, "Now is not the time to be sad. Let's go back."
Zhao Sheng's dry eyes were red, but not a single tear fell.
"Why, why did this happen...?"
Ji Yan looked at him, his gaze calm.
"Now is not the time to talk about this."
Zhao Sheng lowered his eyes and gave a bitter laugh.
"Such an outcome is worse than not living at all."
Ji Yan stood indifferently to the side, looking down at Zhao Sheng.
"Then you can go die."
Otherwise, what should he say?
Zhao Sheng's expression froze, and he was momentarily at a loss for words.
She always knew that Ji Yan didn't like her.
They disliked her so much that even though she was one of the few high-level ability users in the base, they refused to accept her into the team.
Even though she had been following him around for so long, she still couldn't get a second glance from him.
Zhao Sheng closed her eyes, feeling only despair.
She used to think that it didn't matter if she lost love, because at least she still had her strength.
But now... even that strength is gone.
How can a woman with only a level 2 early stage survive in the apocalypse?
It would be better if she had always been an ordinary person.
What's frightening is that she was once powerful, and because of her strength and assertiveness, she offended many people!
She dared not imagine what she would face when she returned.
"Ji Yan...please help me, okay?"
Ji Yan said coldly, "Not good."
Zhao Sheng froze for a moment, then chuckled, "I was overthinking it."
Yes, a superhuman who has lost his value.
Why should anyone help her?
What she didn't know was that Ji Yan's refusal to help her had nothing to do with whether she was valuable or not.
He can assist his father in building the base, lead the team to defend the base, and develop the base.
But he will not support anyone unconditionally.
A group is a group, and an individual is an individual.
If he helps Zhao Sheng, he should help the millions of poor people in the base.
He doesn't have the energy for that.
They weren't that kind-hearted.
He once confidently told Yu Yao that he wouldn't always be so weak, and that one day he would be worthy of being her teammate.
But in fact?
He couldn't even catch Yu Yao's teammates by the tail.
In crucial moments, he was still the one being protected on the sidelines.
He's busy enough, busy growing, busy cultivating himself.
I have no interest in helping such an insignificant person.
No.
......
Although Zhao Sheng was saying discouraging things, he didn't actually want to die.
Instead, she begged Ji Yan to send them to a base where no one knew her.
To start a new life as a low-level superhuman.
This time, Ji Yan agreed and, along with Ye Ziang, Jiao Yang, and the others, each took one of them and sent them to another small base.
Although Ji Yan outwardly said he wouldn't help Zhao Sheng, he still kept their affairs a secret from the people at the Linjiang base, only mentioning the mutated spider and spider eggs to the higher-ups.
Everyone looked rather grim, not because of the mutated spider's leveling speed.
Instead, the mutant beasts can now reproduce.
Nearly a year has passed since the apocalypse began, and not a single newborn has appeared among humanity.
But the mutant beast did it.
If things continue like this, humanity will still face extinction.
......
In the Seven-Colored Glazed Realm, Yu Yao had just finished taking a bath when Dongfang Jin informed her that he had found an item imbued with ghostly energy.
Yu Yao took it out and saw that it was a piece of blood jade with an overwhelming aura of yin.
This kind of blood jade is usually kept in the throat of the deceased, nourished by their blood and death energy.
Yu Yao: "You guys went to rob someone's grave?"
Dongfang Jin: "...Are there any other places with a stronger ghostly aura than that?"
Yu Yao: "My second brother is amazing!"
Luo Mei: "Mingming went with us too, Ayao, you can't just praise him!"
Yu Yao: "Amazing, everyone!"
Jiang Yi: "No problem, no problem at all~ Hehehe~"
Yu Yao: "Where are you planning to go next?"
Jiang Yi: "Keep digging."
Yu Yao: "Thank you everyone for your hard work..."
Qi Xian: "It's not hard work, it's quite interesting."
Yu Yao: "..."
Oh no, has this developed into some bad habit?
Dongfang Jin: "Don't listen to his nonsense."
Yu Yao: "Mmm."
......
After chatting with Dongfang Jin and the others for a while, Yu Yao talked with Wen Xuanzhu for a bit more.
Wen Xuanzhu told Yu Yao that Xi Yuechen had attacked the bunker again today and fought a battle with the Wen family, resulting in both sides suffering heavy losses.
Although Xu Zhiwu was fine, his furrowed brows remained furrowed.
Good news kept coming in, and Yu Yao happily snuggled into bed.
They completely ignored how resentful Chi Heng was after being sent back to his study.
......
The next day, Yu Yao and Chi Heng waited for Ji Yan and the others at the agreed place.
I spent two days with them clearing out zombies in the surrounding area.
On the afternoon of the third day, they rested by a lake.
The lake water was dark and viscous, occasionally bubbling with strange bubbles.
Seeing that Yu Yao was staring at the lake, Ji Yan explained, "This place was originally a small lake with very good water quality, but after the apocalypse, it gradually became like this."
Yu Yao stared intently at the occasional small bubbles that appeared on the surface of the lake.
His eyes showed curiosity.
Despite the polluted lake water, the bubbles that rise to the surface carry a clean and refreshing quality.
But there are no living creatures in the lake, no mutated fish, and no underground space.
Where does that spiritual energy come from?
Yu Yao secretly collected some lake water and put it into her backpack compartment to examine it.
The conclusion is:
Dirty lake water.
Hehe... Thanks for reminding me... (-i_-)
