Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Fan Tangtang Is Captured

After having hot pot, the group started heading back to the safe base.

Bai Xiqin found an electric tricycle and headed towards the safe base with Bai Yifan and Liu Jing.

Leng Yebai was still riding his only bicycle, with a rope tied to the pink rear seat.

The other end of the rope was a line of shopping carts, clanking noisily along the way.

They attracted quite a few zombies.

They were just some low-level zombies, which could be dealt with without getting off the vehicle.

Amidst the sparks and purple electricity, they finally arrived at the gate of the Fire Phoenix Safety Base.

Bai Xiqin did not stop; she handed three crystal cores to the gatekeeper and entered the safe base directly.

She didn’t even stop.

“Sister, hurry up.”

Bai Yifan urged.

The gatekeeper looked at Leng Yebai like he was a monster and glanced at Bai Yifan and the others.

Who does such silly things!

Going out to gather supplies without seeking food or drinks, and instead bringing back all sorts of random items.

Really… insane!

“Cough cough, I don’t know him!”

Bai Yifan shrugged innocently and urged Bai Xiqin again by patting her shoulder.

Bai Xiqin smiled at Leng Yebai and decisively twisted the throttle to the lowest level, racing into the safe base with the electric tricycle.

Leng Yebai still had a smile on his lips.

Look, how much his Xiao Niu likes the things he sends!

According to the knowledge imparted by Bai Yifan, Bai Xiqin, rushing back, was going to share her joy.

Commonly known as, showing off.

The gatekeeper looked disdainfully at the supplies Leng Yebai brought back.

According to the rules, everyone must hand over a quarter of the supplies they acquire to the safe base.

The supplies Leng Yebai brought back were mostly women’s clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics.

These things were not scarce in the safe base.

Women’s strength is less than men’s explosive power; in the apocalypse, only a few women go out to slash zombies.

Women’s status in the apocalypse declined more and more.

Women with a large number of crystal cores were very rare.

In the safe base, money had become waste paper; everything was exchanged with crystal cores.

Who would want to buy a pile of cosmetics if they can afford crystal cores!

Even if it’s a gift for their woman, just a few bottles would be enough.

Those “poor” women without crystal cores would not spend crystal cores on cosmetics either.

At this time, hoarding crystal cores to buy food was the most important thing.

Therefore, cosmetics were not very popular in the safe base.

The gatekeeper helplessly picked some items from the pile of cosmetics as if to submit the collected supplies to the base.

After being let through, Leng Yebai rode the bicycle happily, pulling the shopping cart towards the direction of the bus.

These were all for Xiao Niu; she must be very happy now, showing off the gifts she received to her family!

According to Bai Yifan, the purpose of showing off was to make other women envy her, to feel her presence.

But, probably the only women around were his mother-in-law and grandma.

These two matriarchs couldn’t be offended casually, Leng Yebai made a tough decision.

Later, pick a set of cosmetics from the shopping cart and give them to them!

…

“Yo, you all came back together!” Wang Yiyun smiled at Bai Xiqin, and after a delayed look at the rear compartment, asked in confusion, “Where’s Xiao Leng?”

“At the back!” Bai Yifan pointed to the position behind him, then started running.

The thoughtfulness behind President Leng’s gift-giving, gets a hundred points.

The method of gift-giving, deduct ten thousand points.

Clanking noisily all the way, it looked silly.

Bai Xiqin glanced around; no one was nearby and adjusted her facial expression.

A gentle, quiet smile.

It was the first time classmate Xiao Leng had so thoughtfully sent so many clothes and cosmetics; better put on a good act!

Bai Xiqin touched her chin, seriously thinking for a moment.

Since no one else was in this corner, should she perform an exaggerated expression…

Bai Yifan sneaked a laugh and ran outside to play joyfully!

It’s a lot more fun than watching his sister and brother-in-law flirting by the bus!

Sixteen years old, the age when one loves to play, wanting to run and see everywhere.

Bai Yifan picked his nose and began wandering around the Fire Phoenix Safety Base alone.

The Fire Phoenix Safety Base was neither too big nor too small.

There was a dedicated residential area for living, a place solely for growing grains and vegetables, and even a hall to receive tasks… etc.

Bai Yifan wandered aimlessly, unconsciously reaching the black entrance again.

This time, Bai Yifan did not go in.

He didn’t want to see those children’s innocent eyes again.

Innocent children can’t all be saved.

This was formed under one world, not a problem he alone could solve.

Bai Yifan let out a light sigh and turned to leave.

Forget it, not going there.

Suddenly, Bai Yifan caught a glimpse of a purple figure out of the corner of his eye.

Bai Yifan steadied himself, then saw Zhao Mimi’s pure face.

Bai Yifan instinctively took a step back; according to his sister’s words, this was the villainous female supporting character in a novel.

From his experience of reading several gigabytes of novels, encountering the villainous female support alone by the protagonist’s side leads to disaster.

At best, breaking an arm or a leg; at worst, heading straight for a journey to the west.

He decisively turned his head, ready to leave.

“…Tang Tang…caught, rest assured…”

Zhao Mimi’s voice intermittently drifted into Bai Yifan’s ears, and Bai Yifan instinctively stopped.

Tang Tang, Fan Tangtang?

That child ran out again to find mom and dad?

And got caught by Zhao Mimi?

Oh right, Bai Yifan suddenly remembered that Brother Shui was the one who sold the child to a woman named Purple Rose.

From his sister, he learned that Purple Rose was Zhao Mimi.

Bai Yifan didn’t know what Zhao Mimi captured the children for, but instinctively felt Zhao Mimi must have ill intentions.

Fan Tangtang and he had met once before and had a good relationship, so logically, he shouldn’t stand by and do nothing.

But his sister said not to provoke Zhao Mimi casually.

Especially when he’s alone; better to lay low when needed.

Bai Yifan gritted his teeth and decisively ran towards the outside of the safe base.

Anyway, he knew where Fan Tangtang lived, and he needed to find Fan Tangtang’s big brother.

He heard that his big brother could crush crystal cores with his bare hands, definitely reliable to find.

This was probably the best method.

Without Leng Yebai’s bicycle this time, a pale yellow light wrapped Bai Yifan’s legs, and he quickly ran towards the direction of the abandoned factory.

Since knowing about the apocalypse, the family ran every morning and evening.

He never slacked, fearing running too slowly and being taken over by dad and mom in the race to keep resources within the family.

Mom was fine.

He couldn’t stand the garlic smell from dad’s mouth.

To avoid being taken over by his dad, Bai Yifan ranked second in running speed at home.

Don’t ask who’s the fastest.

Bai Yifan wouldn’t say it’s Dad who runs the fastest.

Ooooh…

Bai Yifan thought of Fan Tangtang being caught and didn’t stop on the way, running non-stop to the place Fan Tangtang took him to before.

In front of an abandoned factory, desolate inside.

Bai Yifan stood in front of the factory, frowning as he looked at it.

Something felt different.

Last time he came, the place was shrouded in a mysterious and oppressive aura.

Now it just seemed like an empty place, nowhere near as mysterious as imagined.
