"Can it really be done?" Ye Xiuzhu raised her tear-filled eyes.
"Of course! If we know how things will develop in advance, we can stop Master from sending Second Senior Brother to protect Yan Tieshan, prevent Master from dueling with Ximen Chui Xue, and stop Big Senior Brother from going to the capital. Then the tragedy wouldn't happen, right?" Ma Xiuzhen comforted Ye Xiuzhu. "And you already know Huo Qing's true nature, so you won't be deceived by him again, right?"
Ye Xiuzhu shook her head vigorously. "No way! I don't like him at all! His fawning over that Evil Spirit makes me sick."
"That's good!" Ma Xiuzhen patted Ye Xiuzhu on the head. "From now on, let's not mention what happened today or what you learned from the Evil Spirit. Just the two of us will know about it."
"Why?" Ye Xiuzhu asked foolishly.
"Do you want everyone to know that you were possessed by the Evil Spirit and treated like a monster?"
Ye Xiuzhu shook her head vigorously.
"Then it's settled. This matter will be our secret!"
Ma Xiuzhen and Ye Xiuzhu left immediately; they needed to return to Emei Mountain to stop Dugu Yihe from sending Su Shaoying to Shanxi Pearl Treasure Pavilion. Bai Tang had also rested enough and took back most of the food produced by the Manor to modern society.
What awaited her was a face full of bitterness from Tian Yuan.
"What happened? Heartbroken?" Bai Tang asked curiously.
"Don't be ridiculous! I don't even have a girlfriend!" Tian Yuan replied. "Our rescue operation for Haidong Island failed; half of the Aircraft crashed, and Yi Qian is missing!"
Bai Tang was taken aback. "What exactly happened? Why is Yi Qian missing?"
Yi Qian was the one she cared about most among all her disciples. Although their time together was short each time, Bai Tang really liked this obedient and sympathetic child. Hearing that Yi Qian was missing made Bai Tang restless.
"Haidong Island is separated from the mainland by a body of water, and the creatures in the sea have mutated and are extremely fierce. For safety reasons, we decided to use Aircraft to bring back the survivors from the island, but those Aircraft suddenly lost all instruments and crashed when they were five hundred nautical miles from the coast," Tian Yuan said sadly; several of his comrades were on those Aircraft.
"Did I buy those Aircraft from aliens? Those Aircraft have magnetic disturbance functions and shouldn't be affected by mutated magnetic fields at all. Plus, their shells are sturdy; how could they crash?" Bai Tang couldn't believe she had bought fake goods.
"The quality of the batch of Aircraft you sold us is indeed very good, but there is a strange and powerful force between Haidong Island and the mainland that we cannot understand. Anyone or anything that gets close either goes missing or gets destroyed!" Bai Tang said with guilt. "It's all my fault for not stopping Yi Qian. He flew out to investigate the cause of the Aircraft accident and never came back. I'm sorry, Bai Tang! You asked me to take care of your disciple, and I failed!"
"Give me the coordinates!" Bai Tang said.
"Bai Tang, you can't go! It's too dangerous!" Tian Yuan quickly tried to stop her. Having already lost Yi Qian, they couldn't afford to lose Bai Tang, who had made significant contributions to the base and humanity.
"I am Yi Qian's Master; I have a responsibility to bring my disciple back!" Bai Tang said calmly.
"I understand how you feel, but I won't give you the coordinates. I don't want you to get into any more trouble!" Tian Yuan firmly decided not to share the coordinates with Bai Tang.
Bai Tang replied, "If you don't tell me, won't I just ask someone else? I'm definitely going to Haidong Island."
Tian Yuan helplessly ended up giving the coordinates to Bai Tang: "I'll go with you!"
"No need!" Bai Tang refused. "You would only slow me down!"
Tian Yuan thought: Is my strength really that unimpressive in your eyes?
Bai Tang took Karen Adrian and headed straight for Magic City Base. Magic City Base was the closest base to Haidong Island. Bai Tang had a feeling that this trip to Haidong Island would be fraught with difficulties, so she decided to stock up on supplies at Magic City Base and exchange for more Gold and Crystal Cores just in case.
Bai Tang had the most food in her pack. She rented a stall at the market in Magic City Base, trading food for Crystal Cores and Gold. The prices she offered were cheaper than those at government-run grain shops, attracting many people to line up for food. Seeing Bai Tang continuously produce food, everyone realized she was a space ability user. Some powerful factions set their sights on her, thinking about recruiting such a strong space ability user into their hunting teams. However, these people were still unaware of Bai Tang and Karen Adrian's true strength and remained cautious. Meanwhile, some thugs who were eyeing the food and Crystal Cores approached her looking for trouble. However, the first one to step up was quickly dealt with by Karen Adrian. The other powerful factions recognized that the two were not easy targets and temporarily ceased their recruitment efforts.
"Bai Tang!" While exchanging rice with an elderly man, Bai Tang heard a cheerful call and looked up to see a girl behind the old man waving at her with an excited smile from their long-awaited reunion!
"Youfu!" Bai Tang responded with a smile. This girl was her first teammate after the apocalypse.
"Bai Tang, it's so good to see you! How have you been? Didn't you go home to find your parents? Did you find them? How are they? Are they okay? Why are you back in Magic City?" Youfu asked in one breath, overwhelmed with joy.
Bai Tang smiled as she answered each of Youfu's questions: "I've been doing well. I found my parents when I went home; they're also doing fine, and I've settled them in a very safe place. I'm here in Magic City for some business and also to sell some food to replenish my Crystal Cores."
Youfu was full of admiration: "You're still so impressive! You managed to get this much food! Why don't you stay and eat slowly?"
Bai Tang: "Just like you, I have a lot of food, and I can't finish it alone. It's better to share it so everyone can enjoy it."
"But we don't know when the apocalypse will end; we can store food and eat it slowly!"
"It should end soon! Now both Beijing Base and S Province Base have mechs and energy guns, and other bases will soon have mechs as well. The zombies will eventually be wiped out. Once the apocalypse is over, everyone can rebuild their homes, and food can be grown again," Bai Tang said.
Youfu: "But even if the zombies are gone, the land and rivers are polluted now; we can't grow food!"
Bai Tang: "Although mutated plants aren't tasty and have slight toxins, eating them can prevent hunger. And you should trust the researchers; if they can develop energy guns, they should also be able to figure out how to detoxify the soil and grow plants without soil."
"You're right!" Youfu exclaimed excitedly, clapping her hands. "If they can develop mechs, those researchers are amazing; they will definitely solve the problem of growing crops in the land."
"This young lady, I don't want to interrupt your reunion, but we're all waiting to buy food! Could you let us buy food first before catching up with your friend?" A middle-aged man behind Youfu asked politely.
Youfu turned around and saw a row of people behind her glaring at her with dissatisfaction. She stuck out her tongue and made an apologetic gesture to everyone, then turned to Bai Tang: "I'll take the food home first and come back to find you later!"
Bai Tang smiled: "Sure! Wait for me to pack up, and then we can have a good gathering!"
"Then let's have dinner at my house! My brother has been wanting to thank you! Also, Brother Ma and Sister Lingxin miss you very much!"
"Are Lingxin and Ma Congyun with you?" Bai Tang asked in surprise.
Youfu nodded: "Brother Ma and Brother Chu are teammates with my brother; they live in the same area as us, they're neighbors!"
Bai Tang was delighted: "That's great! Let's invite them over tonight."
"That's for sure!" Youfu cheerfully left with two or three hundred pounds of food bags—during the apocalypse, delicate girls had all grown into tough women.
Bai Tang quickened the pace of selling food, emptying all the supplies in the package before the sun set. The gold and Crystal Cores she earned made her squint her eyes with delight.
Youfu was already waiting at the market entrance for Bai Tang, accompanied by a person who was none other than Bai Tang's old friend, Ling Xin.
"Bai Tang!" The two women embraced tightly, filled with joy at their reunion after the ordeal.
"Thank you, Bai Tang!" Ling Xin said gratefully, "We owe you our lives!"
"You don't blame me for leaving you behind and going alone?" Bai Tang smiled.
"What are you talking about! We all know you were worried about your parents and naturally had to find them first. Before you left, not only did you help us secure the doors and windows to prevent us from being bitten by zombies outside, but you also left us enough food to replenish our energy. Most importantly, the antidote you gave us saved us from becoming zombies!" After the You siblings reunited, Ling Xin learned from Youfu that Bai Tang had an Antidote Pill that had a high chance of curing the zombie virus. They immediately understood that Bai Tang had fed them the Antidote Pill. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for all of them—plus You Ming, whom Bai Tang had brought up—to be safe when most of the city had turned into zombies. Thus, Bai Tang was undoubtedly their savior.
Bai Tang was glad that Ling Xin and the others understood her actions and felt no guilt about leaving them behind. In times of crisis, people naturally prioritize their loved ones; however, soldiers are an exception—they are the most admirable.
"Were there any casualties among the people in the company?" Bai Tang asked. She got along well with the employees of the game company and liked this vibrant group of young people.
A hint of sadness appeared on Ling Xin's face: "Shen Hong died, Zhang Guangwen also died, as well as Amu and Zeng Qiang..."
Shen Hong was the receptionist at the company, a very beautiful girl who, despite being somewhat materialistic, remained loyal during the toughest times for Yuan Teng Company; she was a very righteous girl. Zhang Guangwen was an employee in the marketing department, a young man who liked to flirt but was actually quite innocent. If a woman really wanted to get close to him, he would guarantee he could run away faster than a rabbit!
