Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 379 Daily Wasteland Collection (7)
"Hurry, climb up the tree!"
Shen Yao held Song Ling with one hand and led her to the loquat tree that was several dozen meters high.
The loquat trees here are so tall that they block out the sun. The trees have many forked branches, and there are dense leaves and loquats. Even if you stay on the tree for a whole night, as long as you don't commit suicide, you have a chance of survival.
Shen Yao didn’t know what the situation was outside, but the roar of the beast scared her.
"Well, there are loquats in that backpack." Song Ling was reluctant to put down the backpack behind her. She looked into the distance in panic and walked with a limp.
Shen Yao took it and put it aside, and continued to push Song Ling up the tree, "Leave it to me, I'll take care of it. Mom, you climb up the tree first!"
Song Ling: …
Song Ling finally climbed up the tree. Seeing that the place where Song Ling was staying was temporarily safe, Shen Yao climbed up the tree with the backpack. By the way, he wrapped the backpack and fishing net together and hung them carefully on the thick branches.
"Daughter, daughter"
Song Ling hugged the tree trunk in her arms, looked down, and called Shen Yao in a low voice.
Shen Yao stretched out her hand and gestured "hush", then continued to climb up with Song Ling.
It cannot be ruled out that some mutant animals may climb trees, so even if they hide in the trees, they must try not to make any noise.
"There's no indication on the watch. Let's hide first and see what happens."
If Changle Town is in danger, the base will arrange patrol teams to come and eliminate the crisis and carry out rescue operations.
Pushing aside the branches blocking her view, Shen Yao saw a mess in the distance.
Bad news, there are indeed mutant beast attacks.
Good news, the mutant beast is not here, it must have gone far away or left.
"The car we were driving back has flipped on its side. We have to wait for someone from the base to come."
Don't get down from the tree for now. You never know if the mutant beasts are up to something, so just hide and wait for them to come and give you more food.
It’s not that Shen Yao thinks the mutant beasts are smart. In fact, the mutant beasts have a high IQ. Every cold season, mutant beasts will appear outside the base and cause trouble.
Otherwise, why are areas E and F the most dangerous? Isn’t it because of the existence of mutant beasts?
When Song Ling heard that the car had overturned, she was immediately frightened and asked, "Is it that serious?"
Shen Yao nodded, pointed at the watch on her hand, and asked Song Ling to mute the watch.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Shen Yao saw someone appear at the edge of the car.
It was too far away for Shen Yao to see clearly. She just thought that the other party might be trying to search if there were any survivors in the car. Unexpectedly, two gray wolves suddenly jumped out from the overturned car and bit the man's body without him making any sound.
Shen Yao:……? !!!
Shen Yao subconsciously grasped Song Ling's wrist, and when Song Ling asked in surprise, she shook her head, "It's the wolves, they didn't leave."
Therefore, if we want to return to the base safely, we must rely on the patrol team to come and rescue us.
Shen Yao lowered her head and clicked her watch. She sent the email immediately. She was not sure whether the official would receive her message. Shen Yao just hoped that it would be of some use. The wolves could not be dealt with and no one could escape from here.
The waiting time was very torturous. With this previous experience as a lesson, none of the other people who had been hiding dared to show up.
As the sky gradually darkened, the sound of cars was heard in the distance. It was the base patrol team.
"We are saved. We are saved."
Song Ling grinned happily. Although she often complained about the patrol team's inaction, when they encountered danger outside, the patrol team was the only one they could rely on.
The base puts profits first, but it does not mean sacrificing ordinary people blindly.
The arrival of the patrol team was like a ray of light in the darkness, bringing them hope.
Shen Yao and Song Ling lay on the tree motionless until the patrol team had dealt with the wolves. They then took out a loudspeaker and announced loudly that they could not stay in the wild for too long and needed to return to the base as soon as possible.
Shen Yao helped Song Ling down from the tree, and then she took down the backpack and carried it.
Some of the loquats in the basket had been crushed, but most of them were intact. However, this still made Song Ling feel distressed, as one loquat was worth several points.
"Mom, let's go."
Shen Yao pointed at the crowd that kept running forward, worried that it would be too late and she would have to sit at the back.
The patrol team drove a large truck with people sitting in the back. The closer they got to the outside, the more dangerous it became.
Song Ling cried out when she heard that, and pulled Shen Yao along and ran forward nimbly.
Shen Yao:……?
Didn’t her mother sprain her ankle? How could she run so fast?
"Okay, okay. It's nothing serious. If I hadn't been so anxious this afternoon," she wouldn't have sprained her ankle.
When the two arrived, the patrol team was signaling the crowd to get on the bus.
"Everyone, get in the truck bed and hurry up. We won't wait for you if you're late."
The young man was tall and big, and although his tone of voice was not very nice, his appearance alone was enough to satisfy the young girls and wives present.
The young ones are shy, but the old ones are not. Each auntie is more aggressive than the other. They either ask the young people if they have a partner, or ask the patrol team members if they want to go on blind dates. If a family has children who are getting married, the patrol team will definitely be given priority.
"Daughter, what do you think of those people in front? How about I help you find out?"
Song Ling kept her eyes and ears open and found that the guys on the patrol team were indeed good, and the best ones were the ones standing at the front of the car.
There are so many beautiful and long legs that anyone's heart will beat fast when seeing them.
Shen Yao touched her chest which was beating a little fast, and thought that her mother, apart from other things, had a really good eye for people. Those standing in the front of the car were either captains or deputy captains. Not only were they of high rank, but they were also capable. It would be an honor to have such a person as a son-in-law.
"Mom, they don't like us." Shen Yao carefully evaluated the gap between the two sides and shook her head rationally. The system was still there, so she could find a way. The system was gone, and she was not a great beauty (in this era, there was no room for delicate beauties to survive. Whether it was high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they all liked powerful people). Want to fall in love at first sight? Unless the other party was blind.
"Nonsense, what do you mean unworthy? My daughter is worthy of anyone."
Song Ling didn't like to hear Shen Yao belittle herself, so she patted the back of her hands and told Shen Yao to stop talking nonsense. She then went to the other women and smiled and flattered them.
There were more and more people in the truck bed. After confirming again and again that no one was around, the patrol team drove away.
Rumbling--
The truck bed was shaking constantly, and people were toppling all over the place. Shen Yao held onto the iron sheet beside her to steady herself, while also placing the backpack in front of her chest and holding it between her legs.
Song Ling cried out in pain. She had Shen Yao helping her to hold herself up. If it were someone else, they would have probably fallen out.
"We're here, we're at the base, everyone, get out of the car, get out of the car..."
The outermost shield on the truck bed was removed, and the people inside fell out like dumplings.
Shen Yao and Song Ling were in the middle, with people in front and behind. In order to protect the loquats in the basket, Shen Yao was a little slow and was pushed on the back, and fell forward.
Instead of hitting the hard ground as expected, he was caught and helped up by someone.
Shen Yao subconsciously thanked him, and when she was about to withdraw, she noticed that the person who helped her was someone from the patrol team, and also the candidate son-in-law that Song Ling had been talking about.
"be careful"
After Cheng Qi finished speaking, he turned around, walked around Shen Yao, and continued to stare at the person in the truck.
Suddenly, something was stuffed into his hand. Cheng Qi looked down and saw that they were several yellow-skinned loquats.
Loquat?
Looking up, he saw Shen Yao's smiling face. Cheng Qi moved the corners of his mouth and said, "No need."
"Keep it. Thank you for what you did just now," Shen Yao held down Cheng Qi's wrist, which he wanted to return, and left with the backpack on her back.
Song Ling was standing not far away. Seeing her daughter talking to the patrol team, she looked a little puzzled. "Daughter, do you know him?"
Shen Yao shook her head, "I don't know him, he just helped me when I got off the car.
Mom, let's go home first, take a day off tomorrow, and deal with these loquats before going out again."
Ripe loquats cannot be stored for long, and since they had worked so hard to get some fruit, neither of them wanted to sell it to the redemption center, as who knows when they will be able to pick some next time.
As expected, Song Ling's attention was diverted and she hurriedly talked about what the best thing to do with loquat was.
Shen Yao listened with a smile, occasionally adding a few words, and walked home along the street lights outside the base.
Dawn Base Area B
When Cheng Qi entered the house, Cheng's mother stopped him and asked, "Is everything going well?"
"It's okay, they're just a group of mutant wolves," the most common type of mutant beasts we deal with on a daily basis. The wooden warehouse at the base worked well and no one was injured.
Mother Cheng patted her chest and said, "That's good. Even though your patrol team is fine on weekdays, if something happens, it's a big deal." There is no easy mission when going out.
Although the mercenary team is living on the edge of a knife, the patrol team is not a greenhouse flower. Because of Cheng Qi's joining the patrol team, Cheng's mother still gets angry when she thinks about it in recent years.
Her family doesn't rely on her sons for a living, so why did she have to send both of her sons to the patrol team? Especially two years ago, when her eldest son got into an accident and was almost killed, Mother Cheng always felt uncomfortable about it.
This resulted in every time Cheng Qi went out, Cheng's mother would sit in the main room waiting for news. She would never go to sleep until she saw her son return safely.
"Mom, don't worry, I know," Cheng Qi stuffed the loquat in his hand into Cheng's mother's hand, letting Cheng's mother taste this rare fruit.
"Loquat? From Changle Town?" Mother Cheng would occasionally go out to collect them, but her health had not been good in recent years, so she mostly stayed at home to take care of the children.
Cheng Qi nodded and said, "Something happened in Changle Town, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go there recently.
You like loquats, I'll buy some for you when I have time." There were none at the redemption center, but the girl who stuffed loquats into his mouth today should have plenty.
Cheng Qi didn't know Shen Yao's name, but he had an impression of her residence.
The patrol team does not go out every day and spends most of their time walking around the base.
Cheng Qi asked his subordinates to help keep an eye out for someone, and he was not worried at all about not being able to find anyone.
Mother Cheng hummed and said, "Buy some. Your two nephews always cough. Loquat can reduce phlegm and relieve cough. Boil it into loquat paste and mix it with water. Everyone in the family can drink it."
Cheng Qi replied with a "OK", stood up, took off his coat, and prepared to wash up and go to bed.
Cheng's mother asked him to go to the kitchen to eat first, "I made noodles for you, eat and then wash."
How can I not eat? Do I need a stomach? What if my genes collapse? Cheng's mother looked helpless, worrying about her little son.
"You are old enough, how about mom introduce you to a few girls?" Being single all the time is not a good thing, as the eldest couple's son already has a pair.
Cheng Qi refused, "No hurry, I'll wait." He didn't have anyone he liked, and the one introduced by Cheng's mother was not suitable, so Cheng Qi didn't want to waste time.
Cheng Ma: ...
Mother Cheng reached out and clapped her hand, "What are you waiting for? I think you are just stupid," and waited until she was left alone to cry.
Do you know that nice girls are very popular? This silly guy of mine doesn't know how to move forward and just stands there waiting. Could it be possible that he can perform a magic trick?
Cheng period:......
You know what, his mother has the potential to be a prophet. It's really possible.
Looking at Cheng Qi who suddenly appeared in front of her and stood there motionless for a while, Shen Yao couldn't understand why this person came to see her.
The intersection between the two of them should be the help she gave when she returned to the base last night? But she gave a return gift. A loquat exchange center costs 5 points, and she gave at least four. It was just to help her body, which was really not cheap.
"Miss Shen, I came here to buy some loquats. The price is definitely better than the exchange center."
Cheng Qi came back to his senses, calmed himself down, and patiently communicated with Shen Yao.
No wonder people say that the patrol team is very capable. It is so easy to find a person's information. They found Shen Yao's residence in just one morning.
What Cheng Qi didn't expect was that Shen Yao's appearance and temperament were very much in line with his aesthetic, which made him inexplicably attracted to her even though he didn't pay much attention to her last night.
Even his words sounded a little dry. Cheng Qi lowered his head and pursed his lips, feeling ashamed of himself for being so useless. If the other party disliked or hated him because of this, he would regret it to death.
"You came to buy loquats?" Shen Yao blinked, thinking, this guy came all the way just for loquats? Was he really trying to frame her?
Cheng Qi nodded, indicating that he really wanted to buy loquats, and also showed his watch.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Yao asked Cheng Qi to wait and went into the house to take out the loquats.
"These are all for sale, 5 points each," just like the redemption center.
After all, he is a member of the patrol team, and Shen Yao doesn't want to offend these local bullies.
Cheng Qi waved his hand, "6 points each, I'll buy all of them."
After adding each other as friends, Cheng Qi transferred the points and explained that he did not intend to investigate, but it was just that the patrol team came here for duty today and they happened to encounter him.
"Captain Cheng, we will contact you again when we pick some fruit."
Big customers have to be given enough face. Shen Yao doesn't care whether Cheng Qi did it on purpose or not. Anyway, those who give points are good people.
"Just call me Cheng Qi. I'm just the deputy captain, not the captain."
Cheng Qi smiled, standing tall against the light, feeling a sense of oppression coming towards him.
Shen Yao nodded, sent the person away with a fake smile, and turned away in confusion.
Is she familiar with Captain Cheng? Although he looks like a decent person, he speaks strangely. Is he secretly planning something bad?
"Mom, when will Dad and brother come back?" It really wouldn't do to be at home without a man. Shen Yao couldn't help but think about all sorts of things when she took a break.
Especially since Cheng Qi's visit today was strange enough, it made her even more unsure.
Song Ling tilted her head, "She said she would be away for at least a week.
That man just now was the captain of the patrol team? Girl, what do you think? "
"What?" Shen Yao didn't understand, or rather, she had never thought about it.
Until Song Ling rolled her eyes and said, "Silly boy, of course it's the other person's appearance. Do you think you can succeed if you try hard?" A good job plus good looks are a good match for their daughter.
Shen Yao: ...Ah? !!!
