Run (Chapter 202)
Originally, she only focused on the wilderness, but she forgot that the ocean holds even more challenges.
Whether it's the base authorities or organizations like Black Spring, once they take the first step to explore the ocean, just thinking about it, it's bound to be an extremely thrilling action!
The thought of such life-and-death danger amplified countless times made Gu Luoyu silently clench her back teeth, suppressing the rising excitement in her heart.
Her red eyes sparkled with excessive excitement, and her fair cheeks gradually flushed with a faint red hue.
However...
The next moment, her gaze fell on Ye Sheng, who was happily collecting items with the Ruyi Pouch.
Staring at her back, the excitement in Gu Luoyu's mind quickly faded, and she regained her calm rationality.
If it were the old her, the solitary Gu Luoyu wouldn't have had any other concerns and would have directly followed the organization's actions.
Savoring the thrill of near-death experiences.
But now, as someone with a partner and a child between them, Gu Luoyu felt as if her hands and feet were tied, restraining her from entertaining any other wild ideas.
Because she genuinely liked Ye Sheng, and because Ye Sheng was lively and cute, like a warm sun that healed her heart, the dark thoughts in her mind hadn't surfaced for a long time.
For example, killing Ye Sheng would be the only way to achieve eternal companionship.
Yet, the vibrant Ye Sheng was even more dazzling and must never die; she would protect her forever!
So, now she could only indulge in these thoughts in her mind.
In reality, she had to avoid such dangerous actions to prevent herself from actually getting into trouble, leaving Ye Sheng and their child to struggle for survival in the wasteland world... The mere thought of this scene made Gu Luoyu instinctively clench her fists, her heart burning with rage.
While Gu Luoyu was lost in thought, Ye Sheng had already finished collecting all the documents. To avoid any omissions, she even took the desk.
After all, she had cleared out a batch of 'goods' earlier to exchange for lottery points, leaving the Ruyi Pouch quite empty. It could easily hold several times the number of folders!
However, after collecting everything, she couldn't just leave immediately; she needed to handle the scene.
She couldn't let the Black Spring Freemasonry know she had a spatial storage item.
Otherwise, she would face endless pursuit and scrutiny.
Therefore, Ye Sheng thought for a moment, then turned to Gu Luoyu and asked, “Ah Yu, if I set a fire here, would it affect our search elsewhere and our departure later?”
“As long as we leave within ten minutes.”
Hearing the answer, Ye Sheng immediately nodded, then took out a marble bomb and threw it towards the chairs and scrap paper that hadn't been collected. With a 'boom,' the 'Ocean research Center' quickly caught fire.
Only when the flames had completely engulfed the entire office did Ye Sheng and Gu Luoyu turn and leave.
Next, they would search for traces of energy stones... However, with the delay, they weren't sure if the Black Spring Freemasonry had already taken the energy stones and fled.
After all, energy stones were highly valuable and easy to carry. If it were her, she wouldn't want to let others benefit either.
Ye Sheng gently patted her cheeks, deciding not to dwell on it further, lest her jinxing it would come true... That would feel terrible!
However, during the subsequent exploration, Ye Sheng's initially high spirits quickly waned.
She only wanted to find energy stones to replenish her little treasury, but along the way, she didn't even catch a glimpse of any energy stones. Instead, she encountered many grotesque imposters, either crazed or dissected, which was utterly nauseating.
Before using the transformation potion, these imposters were all humans, yet the Black Spring organization treated them like livestock, utterly devoid of conscience!
Not letting these crazed imposters continue to suffer, Ye Sheng had Gu Luoyu use her psychic abilities to kill them, at least leaving them with intact bodies. Afterward, she used her super-intelligent network wristwatch to take photos and upload them, awaiting approval to receive the corresponding rewards.
These imposters had severely impacted the survival of normal humans, so the most effective solution now was to kill them!
Though Ye Sheng had a kind heart, it depended on the situation.
She could condemn the Black Spring Freemasonry on behalf of the imposters, but she couldn't spare them... Like dealing with pests, only by killing them could the trees survive.
Regarding these imposters, Ye Sheng didn't want to dwell on it. After searching through most of the underground cave without finding any energy stones, she realized her jinx had indeed come true!!!
The Black Spring Freemasonry had indeed taken the energy stones and fled.
This didn't seem like them. Could it be that after seeing Gu Luoyu kill so quickly, and realizing they couldn't win, they had to cut their losses and escape like a lizard shedding its tail?
After searching a bit longer and finally giving up, Ye Sheng could only set the entire underground cave on fire.
At the same time, she used the super-intelligent network to record the scene.
The 'achievement' of destroying a Black Spring Freemasonry stronghold was extremely valuable. Ye Sheng eagerly rubbed her hands together, her black eyes gleaming with the joy of a big payday.
As the fire consumed this place of evil, Ye Sheng stared at the roaring flames, which looked particularly beautiful under the sunset's afterglow, but she couldn't help but feel that the Black Spring Freemasonry was like an indestructible cockroach.
They also loved building nests madly, with strongholds scattered all over the wilderness, conducting evil experiments.
Although the ocean exploration plan wouldn't immediately affect the base, given the Black Spring Freemasonry's habits, once they gained something beneficial from the sea, they would quickly research related results to use against the base authorities.
In that case, the grassroots would suffer the most, being used as cannon fodder.
However, that wasn't the worst part. The real threat lay in the restless depths of the wilderness!
So, not only was the Black Spring Society researching how to delve into the ocean, but the base authorities also needed to make efforts in this area, ensuring they didn't fall behind the Black Spring organization.
Lagging behind meant getting beaten!
After returning to the base this time, Ye Sheng decided to hand over some of the folders stored in her Ruyi Pouch, hoping to help the base authorities shorten their research.
Hmph, she was quite enlightened, wasn't she!
Ye Sheng reached up to touch her flat belly, a smile appearing on her lips as she murmured, “Little one, just wait. I'll never let you suffer. Whatever others have, you'll have too!”
Therefore, the base's safe zone must never fall, lest her child be deprived of the city's conveniences and have to return to nature as a little wildling...
After saying this, Ye Sheng patted her belly, then turned to look at Gu Luoyu, who was driving, and suddenly blurted out, “Ah Yu, you're interested in the ocean exploration plan, right? Don't suppress yourself because of me!”
“!”
Surprised that Ye Sheng had noticed her earlier thoughts, Gu Luoyu's grip on the steering wheel stiffened, and she didn't know what to say.
