Chapter 240 - Actually, It's Quite Easy to Guess
Wow!!!!!!∑（ﾟДﾟノ）ノ
Ye Sheng broadened her eyes in shock, her face filled with disbelief, completely unexpected to hear such explosive news just after returning.
It sounds completely unreliable!
Thinking this in her heart, Ye Sheng gently shook her head, quickly focused, her spirited appearance made Gu Luoyu, who was sitting beside her, couldn't help but chuckle.
She out and gently stroked Ye Sheng's silk-like black hair, which earned her a coquettish glare from Ye Sheng, who then reached leaning in and whispered in her ear, “Ah Yu, don't cause trouble, let's listen to the latest news together, it's really unexpected!”
After all, they had only been in the wilderness for less than a month, not decades.
Yet, as soon as they returned, they heard that the base and the Black Spring Freemasonry had reached a peace agreement, it's almost magical!!!
Finally getting Gu Luoyu to quiet down, Ye Sheng continued to eavesdrop on the conversation at the next table.
“The Black Spring Freemasonry is such a dangerous organization, cooperating with them is like making a deal with the devil, I don't think there will be any good outcome.”
“Who says otherwise, but even if trouble comes, it's us common folks who suffer, the big shots at the base won't even get a scratch, so naturally, they don't care.”
“Why cooperate with the Black Spring Freemasonry? I still don't understand, it's like suddenly throwing a bomb, instantly exploding!”
“I don't know, even now everyone has no idea why, we only know that the Black Spring Freemasonry is about to send people to the base for some joint discussions.”
Hearing this, Ye Sheng curiously scratched her cheek, her dark eyes also filled with confusion.
However, the diners at the next table didn't know much, so they could only make various bold guesses, but listening to them, it was indeed absurd, having nothing to do with the truth.
Thus, only hearing half of the news naturally felt uncomfortable.
Unable to control her curiosity, Ye Sheng's mind began to wander, even when the tavern server brought the ordered delicacies to the table, it didn't regain her attention, she just mechanically picked up the food with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
Seeing this, Gu Luoyu couldn't help but pinch the bridge of her nose, her other hand holding the chopsticks moved, directly clamping Ye Sheng's chopsticks, finally bringing Ye Sheng back to her senses.
Then, looking at what she had picked up with her chopsticks, it was a colorful fish bone.
If Gu Luoyu hadn't stopped her in time, Ye Sheng would have probably put this fish bone in her mouth, piercing her mouth, she would definitely suffer...
Ye Sheng immediately realized it was her own fault for not paying attention, she blinked obediently, then tentatively threw the fish bone to the side plate, and picked up a bite of stir-fry to put into Gu Luoyu's bowl, her face full of a pleading smile.
Her moist dark eyes were sparkling.
At the same time, she actively admitted her mistake: “Ah Yu, I'm sorry, I was distracted while eating, I promise it won't happen again next time!”
These words made Gu Luoyu smile ambiguously, but her chopsticks picked up a piece of fish and fed it into Ye Sheng's mouth, thanks to Ye Sheng's obedient admission of mistakes, she didn't scold her severely.
Of course, it was also because she knew Ye Sheng's personality well, like a little rabbit poking its head out of a hole.
Curious about everything.
And Ye Sheng, who accepted the feeding, wasn't embarrassed at all, she took a big bite of the sweet fish meat, squinted her eyes in satisfaction, thinking that low-radiation contaminated creatures were delicious, especially the fish from the water, the texture was even better.
It's just that the price was more than ten times that of land-contaminated creatures.
Fortunately, they had money now, otherwise, they wouldn't even have the chance to smell it...
Seeing that Gu Luoyu wasn't angry, Ye Sheng felt relieved, then pulled her transformation to chat and discuss together: “Ah Yu, why do you think the base is cooperating with the Black Spring Freemasonry? Are they going to research potions together, to 'evolve' all humans in the wasteland world?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Sheng herself shook her head, denying this possibility.
If it were about transformation potions, even if they cooperated, it wouldn't be delayed until now.
There must be new changes in the wasteland world!
For two parties who were like fire and water to cooperate, it's really hard to think of what the reason could be... After all, Ye Sheng herself had participated in numerous battles between the two sides, during which many people had died.
Yet now they suddenly made peace.
“Actually, it's quite easy to guess.”
“!!!”
Just as Ye Sheng was struggling, she suddenly heard Gu Luoyu's words, making her sit up straight, her dark eyes staring straight over, her face full of excitement.
She reached out and grabbed Gu Luoyu's sleeve, gently shaking it, her voice sweetly cooing: “Ah Yu, good Ah Yu, just tell me what you know, I'm dying of curiosity!”
The coquettish Ye Sheng was so cute, making Gu Luoyu tap the tip of her nose, but she didn't keep her in suspense.
She directly revealed the answer: “It's related to the sea.”
“...”
Hearing the word sea, Ye Sheng was stunned, she hadn't thought of this possibility.
However, reminded by Gu Luoyu, it was indeed very likely.
First, the Black Spring Freemasonry had never stopped researching and testing the sea, plus they had raided one of Black Spring's strongholds, obtained many folders related to the ocean, which Gu Luoyu personally delivered to the base officials...
Thinking this way, the cooperation between the base and the Black Spring Freemasonry also had their contribution... Ah, what kind of contribution is that, no one expected the base officials to be so unprincipled, directly seeking cooperation with Black Spring.
Shouldn't they do their own research first, before talking about anything else?
And Gu Luoyu, watching Ye Sheng's face change expressions continuously, from sudden realization, to gnashing teeth, to being depressed and tangled, the rich expressions made people want to laugh.
Compared to Ye Sheng's speechlessness, Gu Luoyu remained calm.
Having dealt with the base officials for so long, Gu Luoyu wasn't surprised by the current situation... In fact, it was expected, because there are no eternal enemies.
In the face of great interests, turning enemies into friends is also possible.
Even, Gu Luoyu had already thought of the subsequent development, after the two parties cooperated, they would share information about the ocean-restricted area, and then jointly dispatch exploration teams as the vanguard, as a test.
However...
Thinking of this, Gu Luoyu's eyebrows slightly furrowed, if it really unfolded as she thought, the base would definitely try their best to persuade her to join the exploration team... After all, a free esper with no affiliation is a strong asset.
In the past, Gu Luoyu, who liked to walk on the edge of life and death, wouldn't refuse.
On the contrary, she will be looking forward to the mysterious ocean journey.
But now she has a partner and a child, her adventurous heart was forcibly suppressed.
She couldn't let Ye Sheng take risks with her, especially in the unstable early stages of pregnancy, it's even more important to avoid any dangerous actions, to prevent accidents.
