Chapter 238 - A Feeling That This Life Is Over
Fortunately, these special contaminated plant fruits looked heavy, but their actual weight was no different from ordinary fruits. In the end, they were all squeezed into the Ruyi Pouch with great difficulty.
However, after that, the pouch couldn't fit any other good stuff.
This made Ye Sheng look at the only two small Ruyi Pouches in her hand and worry. She felt that not only did she need to improve her strength, but she also needed to upgrade other equipment along with it!
Decided!
Once she returned to the safe zone, after bathing and burning incense, she would go all out in a lottery draw!
At that time, she hoped her luck would be good, or that the lottery system would introduce a “new event,” such as item specificity or something similar... Ye Sheng happily daydreamed for a while, then held hands with Gu Luoyu and returned to the car.
After a long sleep, she couldn't sleep anymore, and because she was satiated, she temporarily stopped thinking about anything indecent.
Sitting in the passenger seat, she leaned to the side and lay directly on Gu Luoyu's lap, still holding her partner's hand and playing with the slender, beautiful fingers.
The cool night breeze blew by, carrying a scent of unknown flowers. Even under the red moonlight, Ye Sheng felt the atmosphere was really nice.
Peaceful and reassuring.
It was precisely because the atmosphere was so good that Ye Sheng finally had the heart to think about the future. When she first arrived in the wasteland world, she only had one simple thought.
Survive!
After that, she hoped to live a better life.
However, plans couldn't keep up with changes. The pitiful person she picked up turned out to be a big shot, and her life underwent earth-shaking changes, completely unrelated to ordinary life.
Instead, her life became as vast and magnificent as the ocean, experiencing various dangers and thrills that led to growth.
And now, she even had a child...
Thinking of these, Ye Sheng couldn't help but curl her lips upward. She didn't dislike these changes.
Because Gu Luoyu was with her.
Therefore, no matter how dangerous it got, Ye Sheng felt she wouldn't be afraid but would be full of energy!
“Ah Yu, it's easy for us to earn base points now, and we've formed our own team. Should we move into the inner city of the safe zone?”
From the beginning, Ye Sheng knew the base was divided into multiple zones. The most important and central core zone, the inner city adjacent to it, then the outer city where ordinary people lived, and finally the buffer zone outside the base walls.
Compared to the core zone where safety wasn't guaranteed, the outer city had an additional wall, which significantly increased the safety factor.
But it still couldn't compare to the inner city.
However, while you could buy houses in the outer city with base points, the inner city was something money couldn't buy... it required certain power or connections. Otherwise, even with points, you'd have to queue.
And who knows how long the queue would be? You might die before getting the chance to buy a house.
But now, Ye Sheng and Gu Luoyu didn't have to worry. Their team had gained some importance in the base, not to mention Gu Luoyu, as a powerful psychic, was a distinguished guest of the base.
So now, it was just a matter of whether they wanted to move into the inner city, not whether they could.
When Gu Luoyu heard Ye Sheng mention the inner city, she looked down at her, seeing the anticipation and eagerness in Ye Sheng's eyes, and instantly guessed the reason.
Ye Sheng, from another world, was very curious about the wasteland world.
This led her to want to explore more.
Not just the mitigation zone and outer city, but now that she had the qualification to enter the inner city, she naturally didn't want to miss it.
Regarding this, Gu Luoyu naturally wouldn't spoil the mood. Considering Ye Sheng needed a safe environment for her pregnancy, moving to the inner city wasn't a bad idea.
“Either way, the inner city is much more prosperous than the outer city. Xiao Sheng, you should really like the environment there.”
“Are there good foods?”
“Hmm... let me think. I've seen girls in the inner city buying various colored ice creams and puddings, and low-radiation contaminated plant-made soufflé cakes, cream waffles...”
“Slurp.”
Listening to this, Ye Sheng really craved it, silently swallowing her saliva.
Just hearing about so many delicious foods, she wanted to move to the inner city to live!
During her time living in the outer city, apart from eating at restaurants, she rarely saw any exquisite desserts or snacks. It might be because making these in the wasteland world required a lot of resources, so ordinary people in the outer city couldn't afford them.
Even if they had the money, they wouldn't buy them, preferring to spend it on necessities like weapons or potions to live longer.
As for the mercenary groups and families in the outer city, they had their own exclusive pastry chefs.
Only the wounded ordinary people in the wasteland world had achieved this!
However, as she talked with Gu Luoyu, Ye Sheng suddenly had a thought and remembered a very important question... If they really moved to the inner city, where would they live?
Although they could use the base's official regard for Gu Luoyu to make demands, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Gaining benefits comes at a cost!
What if the base officials used the inner city property as leverage to make Gu Luoyu do dangerous things...
At this thought, it immediately shattered Ye Sheng's beautiful fantasy, pulling her back to reality. Compared to a comfortable life, she naturally cared more about Gu Luoyu's safety and didn't want to be controlled by the base.
Therefore, Ye Sheng bit her lip in distress, finally sighed, and turned to look at the puzzled Gu Luoyu, then earnestly said, “Ah Yu, I've thought about it seriously again, let's continue living in the outer city! Although we can't have delicious food, we have freedom. Moving to the inner city would require too big a price.”
Hearing Ye Sheng say this, Gu Luoyu raised her eyebrows in amusement, her red eyes filled with curiosity, and directly asked, “What price would we have to pay?”
“Well... the properties in the inner city are very sought after. Even though we've proven our strength and have the qualification to enter the inner city, not being able to buy a house would still be useless. Even if we step back and buy a small house less than ten square meters, living in it would make me feel like this life is over.”
Ye Sheng spoke the truth.
These words made Gu Luoyu both laugh and cry. Although Ye Sheng seemed to digress and didn't mention the price to be paid, it was easy to guess, she simply didn't want to be coerced or tempted by the base officials.
However...
Gu Luoyu reached out and pinched Ye Sheng's soft cheek, but her next sentence was like a thunderclap, “Don't worry, I have several properties in the inner city, the largest one is five hundred square meters.”
Ye Sheng was dumbfounded.
She looked up at Gu Luoyu in confusion, her shocked expression incredibly adorable, making Gu Luoyu unable to resist continuing to pinch her cheek, like kneading dough.
However, Ye Sheng, coming to her senses, asked a question that made Gu Luoyu pause.
“You have several properties in the inner city? Ah Yu, what was your identity before?”
