Chapter 669: The Lin’an City Base’s Subbase ( 6 )
Meeting Jin Xuyan’s gaze full of murderous intent, Jiang Ziyi clicked his tongue and thought, ’Brat, you dare to glare at me? When you learn about my true identity, even if you kneel and beg me, I will never allow you to marry her!’
Feeling the intense atmosphere, Jiao Lizhi tugged at her fiancé’s hand and said, "Brother Yan, let’s go take a shower."
The moment he heard this, Jin Xuyan’s eyes flickered as he said, "Together."
Jiao Lizhi thought they would use different bathrooms and agreed readily. "Okay."
After they went to the master bedroom, Jiang Ziyi shook his head and said, "That man’s eyes were almost spitting fire when he glared at me, but when he looked at her, his desire nearly overflowed. Gaia, you should teach her more about human nature. She is as gullible as ever."
Soon after, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
"The Host is aware but pretends to be unaware. There is nothing I need to teach her."
Hearing this, Jiang Ziyi laughed and sighed like an old man. "I don’t know who is the prey and who is the hunter between them. Being young is really good."
While he was practicing his cooking skills, Jiao Lizhi was pulled into the bathroom by Jin Xuyan. Soon after, the sound of water mixed with soft gasps and muffled groans echoed from inside.
40 minutes later, the two of them finally came out of the bathroom. Jin Xuyan looked refreshed, while Jiao Lizhi looked tired.
Reaching out, he held her soft hand and massaged her arm. "Is it still sore?" he asked hoarsely.
"It’s all your fault," she glared at him.
Meeting her red-rimmed eyes, Jin Xuyan smiled and leaned down to kiss her. After a moment, he parted their lips and sighed. "Ah Zhi, I’m sorry. But I’m a normal man. I can’t control myself whenever I’m with you."
"I have been holding back for so many years. You won’t be so cruel as to ignore me, right?"
"If I damage my body by holding back, the one who will suffer is you. After all, my health in this regard determines the rest of your sex life happiness."
As soon as he said this, Jiao Lizhi covered his lips and said, "Brother Yan, you are so shameless!"
Jin Xuyan held her hand, kissed her palm, and replied in a low voice, "Ah Zhi, it’s because it’s you. I will only be shameless with you."
Unable to win against him, Jiao Lizhi decided to ignore him. She changed into a set of clean clothes before bringing the two of them out of her space.
When they rejoined the team, the members noticed their Captain’s good mood and bright smiles. They kept giving them meaningful glances. Feeling embarrassed, Jiao Lizhi lowered her head and focused on eating.
Not long after, breakfast concluded in this strange atmosphere. Afterward, the members divided into teams of 2 and went to stroll around the residential area.
Riding bicycles, some of them fixed damaged roads and buildings, while others drew maps. As for Jin Xuyan, he was making a phone call.
The call rang for a full minute before it was picked up. "Hello, who is it?"
Hearing Xun Che’s hoarse, tired voice, Jin Xuyan raised his eyebrows and said, "The sun has already risen above your head, and you are still sleeping?"
"Brother, it has been several days since I last had a good sleep. Why did you call me at this time and disturb my sleep?" Xun Che asked with clear annoyance in his tone.
Jin Xuyan was too lazy to bother with chit-chat and said, "I’m calling to ask you to send people over to the Green Lake Residence located in Jinxing City, near the border of Wanling City."
The moment he heard this, Xun Che’s drowsiness disappeared instantly. He rubbed his eyes for a moment and asked, "Old Jin, what did you do?"
"I found a group of survivors living at the train station in Wanling City. The number of survivors is around 3,000. At the moment, my people are spreading the news about the new base in Jinxing City. The situation is similar to the Capital, so I need your help to manage this base."
Hearing this, Xun Che frowned and replied, "Jin Xuyan, I’m already busy enough managing the Lin’an City Base. Now you want me to manage another base. Do you think I’m dying too slowly?"
"This place is located at a very strategic location. If we can take control of it, it will be easier for us to expand our base’s influence and build connections with other bases."
Xun Che thought for a moment before asking, "Old Jin, do you plan to use that place as our secondary base?"
"More accurately, I plan to establish this place as our base’s trading hub. My team members are currently mapping the area, but from my rough observation, this place has many warehouses and complete facilities," Jin Xuyan replied.
"Besides that, this residential area covers a total of more than 400 hectares of land. The buildings are intact, and it should be more than enough to host over 2,000,000 people," he added.
After a long silence, Xun Che suddenly asked, "Old Jin, tell me the truth. Is something bad happening?"
Jin Xuyan let out a grunt and said, "Xun Che, we only have 1 month before winter arrives. After we enter winter, the temperature will drop drastically over the next 6 months."
"Without proper preparation, many people will die from freezing to death or a lack of supplies. Therefore, I need you to spread this information and sell supplies as much as possible. If they can’t buy supplies, recruit them directly and send them to the Green Lake Base."
At first, Xun Che doubted his friend’s words. After all, the weather was still extremely hot, and the average daily temperature was above 35 degrees Celsius. There was no sign of an incoming winter at all.
