Chapter 133 Oh no, I forgot about Ye Jian in the space!
"Central Plateau region".
It is reasonable and the optimal solution. Only the central plateau region may have escaped the first tsunami and preserved a large number of buildings and artifacts of human civilization.
"Are you coming with us?" K asked mechanically.
"No, we still have friends here, and I won't leave for the time being. Since you're planning to leave anyway, why send Chu Bai to fight the beast tide?"
Yu Miaomiao recalled how Chu Bai and the others looked when they left, clearly ready to sacrifice themselves for the people at any moment.
"On the one hand, it was to confuse Ni Chongyang; on the other hand, although the underground city of the capital had been evacuated, there were still many other official and civilian strongholds in the capital."
K paused and continued, "We can't ignore this. They can't leave so quickly. We need to break up the monster horde and buy them time."
"If you don't leave for the time being, I'll leave K to you."
"What do you mean? You don't trust us? You're afraid we'll take things from the supply depot and run away?"
"Actually, the item is safer with you than anywhere else, so we must protect your safety. K can act as a protective measure and also facilitates our communication. If the distance is too far, our bracelet will not be able to contact you."
"By the way, this shouldn't be all the supplies, right? I see that it mainly contains strategic materials, but there's almost no food or water."
Yu Miaomiao guessed that Yang Silu had other space-type ability users helping him transport supplies, so although this part was important, it was not urgently needed.
So when Yu Miaomiao said she would not follow the main group for the time being, Yang Silu did not object.
"Of course, you should never put all your eggs in one basket."
"Once you've finished dealing with your own matters, come find me. The base needs your help. K will bring you to join me."
K stopped speaking and returned to his calm and indifferent state. His eyes no longer shone brightly, but returned to being like those of an ordinary person.
"Let's go. Now that we've resolved things here, we should also reach a conclusion about the factory's situation."
Lu An, Xu Nanwei, He Liang, K... Yu Miaomiao's team has grown stronger and stronger without her even realizing it.
"He Liang, have you decided to travel with us?"
Yu Miaomiao and Lu An both turned to look at He Liang.
He Liang scratched his head, "Can I really join you guys?" He had almost gotten them into serious trouble before...
Since the apocalypse, he has embarked on an unknown journey and joined a patrol team. The fog of belonging and direction in his heart has not yet dissipated.
However, he found that he had experienced a lot with Yu An's team, from being wary at first to becoming friends, and then fighting side by side.
Although it was thrilling and exciting, it was also very fulfilling, and the scales in his heart had already quietly tipped.
Most importantly, standing shoulder to shoulder with people from the same hometown always brings an inexplicable sense of closeness. His family members are not around, and he doesn't want to drift further and further away from Yu Miaomiao and the others.
The strength that friends bring is an intangible, warm, and precious treasure, and he didn't want to miss it again because of hesitation.
"I've made up my mind. I want to join you, and I hope Yu An's team will accept me."
He Liang spoke firmly, and Yu Miaomiao and Lu An smiled and nodded in agreement.
Their team is growing bigger and bigger.
"Let's go back and rest for a bit."
The group found a flat, open space and were just about to take out their RV to rest when the second tectonic movement suddenly erupted.
The ground was covered with even more terrifying cracks and abysses than the first time, and the entrance to the underground city that had just been dug out collapsed again.
He Liang immediately activated his Shadow Cloak to encompass them all, escaping unharmed.
The survivors had already left with the military vehicles, so let the entrance collapse as it may.
"Oh dear... I think I forgot something."
Yu Miaomiao sat in He Liang's shadow and suddenly realized that she had forgotten Ye Jian.
"Weiwei, play with Brother He Liang for a while. I have to go to my space."
She pulled Lu An into the space and appeared outside the room where Ye Jian was locked...
"I accidentally found Dr. Ye in the sewer... I locked him in my space but then I forgot about him."
As Yu Miaomiao explained to Lu An in a low voice, she gently knocked on the door, feeling somewhat uneasy. She had been "imprisoning" Dr. Ye like this for almost a day...
The room was silent for a while. Then a man's voice asked cautiously, "Yu Miaomiao?"
"It's me."
"Come in, I can't get out." There was a few seconds of silence inside the door, then Ye Jian's calm voice came through.
Yu Miaomiao then unlocked the door from the outside and gently pushed it open to enter.
"Dr. Ye, I'm sorry... I've been so busy, I accidentally forgot you were still in the space."
Yu Miaomiao thought the environment of the space was quite nice, with a bed and water... Ye Jian shouldn't be angry, right?
She looked around the room and saw Ye Jian sitting at the table, looking at them with a complicated expression.
Nothing seemed to have been moved from the room, except that the lights were on.
Ye Jian took off her dirty coat, folded it, and placed it on the floor. There was also a very old-looking backpack, which, although a bit dirty, was placed on top of her clothes with great care, so the contents inside must be very important.
Presumably to avoid dirtying the room, Ye Jian's feet were bare, and her shoes were not washed; she simply left them in the bathroom.
It's embarrassing to use the water from Yu Miaomiao's space, since these things are extremely rare and valuable resources in the apocalypse.
He even quietly turned on the tap, and as soon as he saw clear water droplets falling, he quickly turned it off again.
He sat quietly in the room, waiting for Yu Miaomiao to remember him.
"Dr. Ye, you are welcome to use anything in the room. I suggest you take a shower and change your clothes."
She found a change of clothes in her storage space, and also gave Ye Jian some bread and drinking water.
"No need..." Ye Jian was clearly unwilling to accept undeserved rewards.
"You don't need to feel embarrassed, or you can consider this a loan."
Yu Miaomiao didn't want to engage in this back and forth. She got straight to the point: "The entire underground city has completed its evacuation. You probably can't catch up with the main force now. We might need to trouble Dr. Ye to work with us for a while. Once we've finished our business, we'll escort you back to the new base."
"What...you mean the dungeon is gone?" Ye Jian's expression darkened. "Was the experimental data destroyed or...stolen?"
"If you're referring to the storage units in the supply depot, they must have been brought out."
"Really, that's wonderful! That's wonderful! Miss Yu, thank you so much!" Ye Jian stood up instantly and bowed deeply to Yu Miaomiao.
Yu Miaomiao touched her nose, feeling a little embarrassed. She hadn't actually done anything; it was just something she did on a whim.
