Chapter 139 Old Lei
It wasn't that Qi Xian and Chi Heng were unwilling to stop her, but rather that Yu Yao herself didn't say anything to spoil the mood.
They were in an even more difficult position to say anything.
Besides, they are absolutely safe now.
So what if I had a little drink? At worst, I'll just get a good night's sleep!
But none of them expected it.
When Luo Mei and Jiang Yi finished singing a song, they turned around to ask Yu Yao who sang better.
The girl, her face flushed, slumped softly onto the table.
Luo Mei: "???"
Jiang Yi asked in surprise, "What happened? How much did you drink?"
Dongfang Jin extended one finger.
"Have you been drinking it all along?" Jiang Yi asked.
Dongfang Jin suppressed a laugh and shook her finger.
"That's... a bottle?" Jiang Yi asked again.
"...a cup."
"White??"
"...beer."
"?"
Luo Mei exclaimed, "Huh?" "You got this drunk from just one beer???"
Qi Xian nodded, suppressing a laugh, "Yeah, you've gotten this drunk from just one beer."
I thought that getting drunk after drinking a few glasses of low-alcohol fruit wine at the Wushan base was somewhat of an act.
I can't believe it... it's true!
Jiang Yi rubbed his forehead.
"My God, are there really people in this world with such a low alcohol tolerance?"
Can't play cards or mahjong, and can't drink alcohol? ???
Is she a human living in modern times?
As he spoke, he extended his hand to Yu Yao, "I'll take her home first."
Unexpectedly, the person who was originally drunk and in a daze suddenly sat up in shock from his deathbed.
With a flushed face, he stood up unsteadily.
"No, I'm not going back! I haven't eaten yet!"
Chi Heng gently supported her swaying body to prevent her from falling, and asked softly, "What would you like to eat?"
"Steamed buns! Carbs! I want carbs!"
"Okay, let's eat carbs."
"And chicken wings! I want chicken wings!"
"it is good."
"And there are big meat skewers! I want to eat them, the biggest ones!" she said, gesturing with her hands as wide as possible.
"Okay, take the biggest one."
"And...and..."
"What else?"
Chi Heng had just asked a question when he noticed that she was pouting with a wronged expression.
Chi Heng felt a mixture of confusion and inexplicable tension. "What's wrong?"
"I want to eat so much! But I only have one mouth! What should I do?!"
Chi Heng: "..."
Dongfang Jin covered her face, while Qi Xian's eyes widened.
Luo Mei's jaw almost dropped to the ground, but Luo Pingjing carefully pushed it back down for her. Then he focused on peeling shrimp for Mo Yu, who was completely engrossed in grilling meat.
Jiang Yi held back.
I held back again.
Old Wangba, being the one running the day school program, couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, hahahahahahaha..."
......
The next day, as expected, Yu Yao woke up in Luo Mei's bed.
When she came downstairs, Dongfang Jin and the others were in Luo Mei's living room.
Jiang Yi saw her and asked with a smile, "You're awake? Do you want something to eat?"
"Okay."
Do you want to eat pickled bamboo shoots and pork soup?
"eat."
"Would you like some xiaolongbao?"
"Yes I do."
"You ate something greasy yesterday, how about something light today? Millet porridge?"
"sure."
Yu Yao's main characteristic is that she's willing to eat anything.
Qi Xian looked at her and suddenly laughed, "But you only have one mouth, how can you eat so much?"
"?????Um?"
Yu Yao looked at her teammates, who were trying not to laugh, with a puzzled expression. She really didn't understand what they were talking about.
It's obvious she really blacked out!
It wasn't until Luo Mei told her about someone's glorious deeds the previous night that she understood.
Yu Yao finally understood the meaning of the word "social death".
How exactly should it be written?
......
The story got even more interesting last night. She almost cried after she finished speaking, and Jiang Yi quickly said after laughing, "Don't cry, don't cry. I have a mouth too. I'll eat for you."
And that's how I completely offended her.
She only fell asleep contentedly on the table after fiercely forcing everyone to eat what she wanted!
It was Luo Mei who carried her back to her own room.
Regardless of whether everyone enjoyed the barbecue yesterday or not.
But everyone really got their fill of someone's antics!
Yu Yao: "......"
Stop talking... alcohol is harmful!
I need to go into seclusion right now! As long as I escape fast enough, embarrassment won't be able to catch me!!!
Seeing Yu Yao hurriedly pull Luo Mei away, they fled.
Dongfang Jin and the others exchanged glances, feeling nothing but helplessness...
......
After noon, Dongfang Jin and Chi Heng left Qianpo Mountain and went to the Kyoto base to visit Elder Lei.
Although Lei is over eighty years old, he is still in good spirits and has bright eyes.
Although he did not hold the position of base chief, he still wielded considerable influence within the base.
When he came downstairs, Chi Heng and Dongfang Jin stood up instinctively, showing respect without being obsequious.
Old Lei chuckled and gestured for them to sit down, asking, "So you've finally decided to come back?"
Dongfang Jin laughed and said, "You're exaggerating. We rushed to Kyoto as quickly as possible after things stabilized."
Old Lei said "Oh?" and then added, "Your glorious deeds have already spread to the capital. Bravely storming He'an, making a name for yourself in Lincheng, overcoming all obstacles along the way—do you know how many people have been asking about you lately?"
Dongfang Jin: "Hey, things just happen one after another, so please don't make fun of us."
"I'm making fun of you? I'm happy for you. You can finally be yourselves with dignity!"
As he spoke, Old Lei patted Chi Heng and Dongfang Jin on the shoulder respectively.
"However, you lot have quite a few people watching you now. Especially the new girl who joined your team; they say she's got some powerful treasure in her hands, is that true?"
Chi Heng frowned slightly.
"No."
"No? Ah Heng, are you even going to lie to me?"
Given the kindness Lei Lao had shown Chi Heng, he truly didn't want to lie to the old man.
But he was unwilling to push Yu Yao out on her own.
He could only say, "Each of us possesses a valuable treasure; she's not the only one."
"Oh?"
"We only recently discovered that some items with special abilities didn't just appear after the apocalypse. We were indeed fortunate enough to obtain some rare items, and Nie Zhuoying brought some back as well, as you should know."
"But I also heard that the girl took out some talismans with special abilities, right?"
"...She does know some knowledge in this area. But she's not the only one who knows it; we recently met a Taoist priest who could draw talismans."
Whether Nan Gu is truly skilled or not, he himself said he wanted to draw advanced talismans!
Pulling it out now isn't exactly taking the fall, is it?
Old Lei didn't say whether he believed it or not, he only said, "That's a talent."
"......Um."
Chi Heng responded and then took out the documents he had brought.
Changing the subject, they said, "We came back specifically to talk to you about something."
"We brought out some information from the He'an Research Institute. We also obtained some information from a key figure from a He'an affiliated research institute that we captured while in the Lincheng Safe Zone. Please take a look."
Old Lei took it and slowly flipped through it, his expression gradually turning grim.
"This is definitely not right. There's something wrong with An."
Dongfang Jin asked, "Did you discover this a long time ago?"
"It was only discovered recently, but unfortunately... it's already too late."
The arrival of the apocalypse disrupted too many plans.
As he spoke, Old Lei pointed to Chen Jingzhi's file.
"Is this Chen Wanjun's younger brother?"
"Yes."
They destroyed all research records, but did not destroy the data on Chen Jingzhi and Feng Jiye, the other orcs.
"Werewolves???!!!?" Even though Lei Lao had experienced countless storms in his life, he couldn't help but feel shocked and incredulous.
Chi Heng said, "A few days ago, when we rescued Xuan Qing, we also encountered Feng Jiye. At that time, he had already reached the late stage of level three, and his combat power was extremely strong! He was immortal and indestructible."
"He showed up too?"
"Yes, it seems that his target is also He'an."
"Alas... He'an, he has committed too many sins."
As he spoke, Mr. Lei continued to peruse the documents.
When they saw that He'an had already created hundreds of superhumans before the apocalypse.
His brows furrowed deeply.
A study of this scale couldn't possibly escape the authorities' notice without someone covering for it!
"It seems there are still pests within the official ranks..."
Old Lei clutched the thin stack of documents, his withered temples throbbing.
Dongfang Jin sighed.
"Mr. Lei, why don't you take a look at the information at the back first?"
"Ok?"
“We suspect that the people behind He’an have the ability to foresee the future. On the last page of their files, two words were mentioned – extreme cold! I think Xuanqing has already mentioned this to you.”
Old Lei's eyes flickered, and he sighed.
"I've already said... I'm making preparations as much as possible!"
As Mr. Lei spoke, his hands flipped through the documents faster and faster.
It wasn't until he saw the last picture that Mr. Lei realized that the so-called extreme cold was not what he had imagined!
His breath hitched, and he immediately said to Chi Heng and Dongfang Jin, "Aheng, Ajin, you two go back first!"
He has more important things to do now!
"Old Lei, please go ahead and don't worry about us."
"Good boy." Old Lei's expression softened for a moment, then he immediately stood up and hurriedly left alone.
