Chapter 245
“Um... we absolutely don't want to impose on you, but...”
Uncle A rubbed his hands together, hesitating for a moment.
Finally, he spoke frankly.
“The farm can't go without a leader for a day. Since Chang Li and the others are dead, could Miss Ci Wan stay and take charge?
Most of us are just ordinary people. Without someone capable in charge, not only would we be unable to defend against zombies, but if another Chang Li II or III shows up, we're afraid we'll fall back into a new cycle of torment.”
The hellish life of being slaves, they truly didn't want to experience again.
Therefore, they could only hope that the strong group led by Ci Wan, whom they believed to be very capable, would take them in.
Plus, Ci Wan and her family had been very kind before, taking them in.
So they thought that Ci Wan would lead them to a new life.
This wasn't about right or wrong; it was just their survival instinct telling them they should do this.
Sun Xiaoming and Wei Qian exchanged glances, feeling a bit awkward.
They looked at Ci Wan, waiting for her decision.
Ci Wan didn't hesitate at all and directly shook her head.
“I'm sorry, but I have no obligation to take responsibility for your lives, nor do I have the ability to do so.”
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one is scared of ropes for ten years.
Being kind once is enough.
Anything more than that is out of the question.
She also truly doesn't have the ability to support such a large group of people.
Most importantly, she has already sworn to follow Yun Xiaoxiao and the others.
This promise, though not spoken aloud, is etched in her heart!
As soon as Ci Wan's words came out, those people all lowered their heads in disappointment.
But they didn't try to guilt-trip her with moral arguments.
Seeing this, Ci Wan's eyes flickered for a moment.
But in the end, she suppressed her thoughts and didn't approach Yun Xiaoxiao.
What she didn't want to do, she naturally had no reason to impose on others.
Although Xiaoxiao's base was large and capable enough, she understood the principle of "do not impose on others what you do not desire."
Yun Xiaoxiao, who had already seen through Ci Wan's thoughts, slightly raised her eyebrows.
She was a clear-minded person.
She slowly looked at the group of people shivering in the cool breeze.
Perhaps Chang Li's gang had used up all the "bad guy" spots, because the remaining people who had been enslaved were all quite good-natured.
To be precise, they were just the most ordinary of ordinary people.
Others might think that such people were a waste of resources in a base.
But she didn't think so.
She had mentioned before that developing production was the foundation of survival.
Her base had many positions that needed people, especially hardworking ordinary folks.
“Would you be willing to start a new life in a different place?”
Yun Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke up, and everyone looked at her.
But they didn't understand what she meant.
However, Ci Wan and the others understood.
They were quite surprised that Yun Xiaoxiao was willing to take in these people.
This was, of course, something they were happy to see.
Sun Xiaoming immediately introduced Yun Xiaoxiao's identity and praised the goodness of Yun City.
Everyone's gaze toward Yun Xiaoxiao instantly changed.
Earlier, they had thought that Yun Xiaoxiao and the others were under Ci Wan's command.
But unexpectedly, Ci Wan was actually under Yun Xiaoxiao's command!
What was there to hesitate about? Everyone immediately nodded vigorously.
They were all filled with gratitude toward Yun Xiaoxiao.
There were still many crops in the farm that were about to be harvested.
Ci Wan and the others volunteered to stay behind, saying they would wait until the harvest was done before bringing the supplies and people back to Yun City.
Meanwhile, Yun Xiaoxiao and her group still had to head to the western base, so they left early the next morning.
Just before leaving, she took out many thick clothes from her space and handed them out one by one to the people on the farm.
Yes, she handed them out personally, face to face.
The idea of doing good deeds anonymously is just a myth.
Who remembers your kindness if you don't leave your name?
She didn't have the patience to be a living Lei Feng.
She had saved them, helped them, and she wanted them to remember it.
Not that she expected them to repay her in any way, but at least they could work and live steadily in the base, or increase their intimacy with her to earn some points, and maybe even reward her with some more abilities.
She wasn't helping people for free.
After handing out the clothes, she could clearly sense that many people's intimacy with her had reached over 90%.
Especially the people from the thatched hut she had saved earlier, each of them had 100% intimacy with her!
So, as expected, Little Di's voice rang out.
Ding! Congratulations, host!
Reward: Random Wind Element Ability!
Reward: Random Ability - Sense of Smell Ability!
As soon as Little Di's voice fell, a stench of manure suddenly rushed into Yun Xiaoxiao's nose.
Yun Xiaoxiao: !!!
Little Di, what kind of ability did you just reward me with?
It stinks!
Host, don't get excited, just get used to it.
Yun Xiaoxiao almost rolled her eyes to the sky.
What kind of bullshit is "adapt and it'll be fine"?
If you have the guts, try it yourself!
【Host, I can't smell it~】
Yun Xiaoxiao: !!!
She swore that if Little Di were in front of her, she would give him a big slap.
This kid is too annoying!
To avoid being overwhelmed by the stench, Yun Xiaoxiao stuffed two paper balls into her nostrils.
“Little brat, did you get a nosebleed?”
Nie Yizhou asked curiously.
Yun Xiaoxiao glared at him, her eyes full of murderous intent.
Nie Yizhou shivered and quickly hid behind Xiao Feng.
He poked out his head and pouted, saying, “I didn't do anything to you, okay?”
Yun Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, but then suddenly remembered that Nie Yizhou also had the olfactory ability, and he seemed to have sealed it off himself.
She beckoned to Nie Yizhou with her little finger.
“What? Don't think you can trick me over, I won't believe you!”
“Who's tricking you? I really need you.”
“I'm not believing you.” Nie Yizhou shook his head vigilantly.
“Are you coming over or not!”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Yun Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips, threatening fiercely.
"Ouch~"
As soon as Yun Xiaoxiao's voice fell, Nie Yizhou was thrown over by Xiao Feng.
Nie Yizhou was so angry that he jumped, “Xiao Feng, you're too unrighteous!”
Xiao Feng snorted and didn't even look at him.
Nie Yizhou pouted, then smiled at Yun Xiaoxiao.
“Little brat, no fighting, okay?”
Yun Xiaoxiao glared at him, “Who's going to fight you? I just want to ask how you sealed off your olfactory ability.”
“Oh, that!”
Nie Yizhou breathed a sigh of relief.
He beckoned to Yun Xiaoxiao.
“Come here, little sister, let me tell you.”
......
With this matter settled, Yun Xiaoxiao and the others returned to Yun City.
But just as they were about to reach Yun City, they saw three helicopters in the sky.
Everyone noticed them.
“Have we sent any helicopters on missions recently?” Ling Jing raised his eyebrows.
Mu Yang shook his head, “No.”
“Those aren't our base's helicopters.”
Lu Chen gazed at the sky, his expression darkening.
