Chapter 241 - She Doesn't Want To!
After receiving guidance from Gu Luoyu, Ye Sheng had a sudden epiphany.
However...
Even though she had already guessed the general idea, Ye Sheng's brows remained tightly furrowed, her adorable little face almost scrunched up into a ball, her black eyes filled with worry. Clearly, she was not at ease with the cooperation between the base authorities and the Black Spring Freemasonry.
Especially after hearing about the joint exploration of the ocean, Ye Sheng immediately guessed that there was a high probability that her Ah Yu would be recommended for the upcoming vanguard team. Even if she disagreed, they might enforce conscription!
Just like when dealing with the bloodthirsty 'monsters' cultivated by other organizations, those people who mutated using transformation potions posed a great threat to the base and were difficult to handle.
Thus, the leader of the public security management team from the base authorities came over, temporarily modifying the mission content of the combat team, pleading for Gu Luoyu, the esper, to take action.
Her Ah Yu was like a sweet delicacy, always attracting covetous and predatory gazes from various factions.
Therefore, it was no wonder that Ye Sheng was extremely sensitive in this regard and had guessed what would happen next in advance.
Gu Luoyu, who was beside her, was surprised to see Ye Sheng's troubled little face. She didn't expect her little cutie to be so sharp this time, guessing what would follow. She raised an eyebrow with a smile, then lifted her finger to gently poke Ye Sheng, not letting her brood alone.
She actively comforted her, “Little Sheng, don't think too much. The base wouldn't be so foolish as to make an enemy of me. After all, I'm not the only esper in the safe zone who hasn't aligned with other forces; there are other free espers as well.”
Moreover, even if the base authorities really wanted to force Gu Luoyu to participate in the new mission, unless they gathered a large amount of combat power, they would lose miserably... However, even with Ye Sheng as a little pendant, Gu Luoyu could quickly leave the base at the first moment.
Thus, provoking an esper who could 'come and go freely' from the base at any time would have dire consequences.
Therefore, it was foreseeable that the base authorities would only resort to temptations in the future.
“I hope so!”
Ye Sheng sobbed softly, her furrowed brows relaxing, a slight smile forming at the corner of her mouth, but deep in her eyes, there was still a hint of unease.
This unease was not because of the base, but because she suddenly thought that although Gu Luoyu appeared gentle in front of her.
In reality... from the glimpses of combat Gu Luoyu had unintentionally shown, it was clear that she was as excited and ferocious as other espers who enjoyed killing.
They all loved dangerous and thrilling battles.
So, even if the base authorities didn't coerce her, what about Gu Luoyu's own thoughts?
Ye Sheng didn't want to become a burden to Gu Luoyu.
In every aspect, she didn't want to!!!
Using herself and the child as reasons to tie down Gu Luoyu's feet, preventing her from continuing her own path, forcing her to suppress her nature and learn to give up, just hearing it was heartbreaking.
Gu Luoyu, as an esper, was a dazzling and radiant person.
How could she bear to extinguish such a bright light!
Thinking this, Ye Sheng suddenly felt like laughing. In the past, she hadn't thought this way; she had hoped that Gu Luoyu could always stay by her side, not participate in any dangerous activities, so as to avoid the high mortality rate of the wasteland world.
But after experiencing trials and tribulations together, Ye Sheng's thoughts had suffered a significant change.
Now, she is more mature.
However, although Ye Sheng had her own thoughts, she didn't immediately voice them. She was well aware of Gu Luoyu's character, who now placed great importance on her and the child, and even if she waved her hand saying it was fine, she wouldn't agree.
In that case, she could only rely on the lottery!
To give yourself more means of survival.
Originally, Ye Sheng planned to rest in the safe zone for a while, to recover from the fatigue accumulated in the wilderness, and then perform a devout lottery ceremony!
But now, she couldn't wait that long.
After eating, she will go back and immediately draw the lottery!
Once she figured out what to do next, Ye Sheng's mind was no longer tangled up in other thoughts, and she began to enjoy the delicious food on the table. Not to mention, even though the low-radiation ingredients looked strange, the taste was truly amazing!
Gu Luoyu, sitting beside her, watched as Ye Sheng quickly became cheerful, eating like a little hamster, making her shake her head and smile, then picked up her chopsticks to put the meat Ye Sheng liked into her bowl. She wasn't in a hurry to eat herself, but rather enjoyed the pleasure of feeding.
Her pink hair was draped over her shoulders, her red eyes are gentle, exquisite and beautiful like the most perfect work of art.
Even in the dimly lit tavern, she was dazzlingly radiant, but under the constant control of her psychic power, except for Ye Sheng, no one else would have any impression of her.
They just thought the woman was beautiful, without any desire to look a second time.
As Gu Luoyu smiled and fed Ye Sheng, the conversation at the next table had shifted to other topics, still lively, but it made Gu Luoyu narrow her eyes slightly, a flash of displeasure and killing intent in her red eyes.
“Erensu has been missing for a long time, and there's still no news. It's probably really bad luck!”
“It's all rumored that the people above in the base did it, but who knows if it's true.”
“Someone as brutal as Erensu, if she's dead, she's dead. It saves other innocent people from dying. She killed people without any reason, just killed if she wanted to. Such a cruel person should have died long ago!”
“Shut up, what do you know? Erensu can't die. If she dies, who will deal with the powerful contaminated creatures? You?”
Ye Sheng, biting into a delicious chicken leg, was also attracted by the conversation at the next table. Since she was idle, she might as well listen to some gossip to relieve the boredom.
However, she didn't expect to suddenly hear the name Erensu, it felt like it had been a long time since she last heard it!
The name Erensu was like a thunderclap. Ever since Ye Sheng arrived in the wasteland world, she had always heard others talk about her with either admiration or fear. It was really intriguing!
But such a legendary figure, it was just something to listen to.
After all, she will never meet her in this lifetime.
Moreover, according to people's speculations, she was already in a very bad situation... The fall of a great figure made one sigh inexplicably!
Thinking this, Ye Sheng sobbed and shook her head, forgetting she was still holding the chicken leg in her mouth, looking as cute as a puppy, which made Gu Luoyu beside her lose most of her displeasure and suddenly felt like laughing.
The identity of Erensu, due to her past actions being too brutal, had been kept from Ye Sheng until now.
Even today, Gu Luoyu had been working hard to keep her cover, not letting Ye Sheng find out!
...
After a hearty meal at the tavern, Ye Sheng declined the option to go shopping and chose to go home to rest.
As soon as they got home, Ye Sheng clung to Gu Luoyu, saying they should sleep together, making it impossible for Gu Luoyu to refuse. But she insisted on taking Ye Sheng to wash up before lying down on the soft bed.
Ye Sheng, who usually couldn't help but be handsy, was now very quiet. She hugged Gu Luoyu's arm, while in her heart, she was loudly calling for the lottery goldfinger.
‘Hehe, the lucky player Ye Sheng, here I come!’
