Chapter 015 Information Gap
Chapter 015 Information Gap
"Do you know why none of the active pioneers at the base can survive in the wasteland for more than five hours?"
Yan Zhiyu laughed and said, "Because everyone was secretly dealt with by the base, but seeing you in the wasteland was a real surprise."
Logically speaking, even if you haven't been dealt with by the base, you shouldn't be in the wasteland right now.
Those people at the base aren't so kind.
Upon hearing this, Meng Shisan smiled without saying a word: "It seems that Captain Yan also knows very little about the base."
"You don't believe me?" Yan Zhiyu said. "A few months ago, our team carried out a mission and threw a pioneer named Yang Qi into the Burial Soul River."
In my memory, we have carried out this kind of task countless times.
You know Yang Qi, right?
He was once the first to break the record of ten hours in the wilderness.
Back then, you were just as dazzling as I am now.
Even someone like that was eventually secretly dealt with by the base, wasn't he?
When he died, his body was completely hollowed out...
Do they really think those guys at the base are some kind of saviors?
Wake up! They're just a pack of wolves in sheep's clothing.
As Yan Zhiyu spoke, she walked towards the spot where Meng Shisan had sat down earlier. There, Meng Shisan had placed two large rocks, just the right size for her to sit and rest.
Upon seeing this, Meng Shisan quickly stepped forward and used his feet to wipe away the writing and drawing on the ground.
Yan Zhiyu smiled, not paying any attention. She did see some strange scribblings on the ground and wanted to take a look, but Meng Shisan wouldn't let her see, so she didn't ask any further questions.
Everyone has secrets.
Does she have no secrets, or do they have no secrets?
"The Burial Soul River? Is the base ordering you to destroy the evidence?" Meng Shisan knew without asking that the Burial Soul River was that river.
Yan Zhiyu plopped down, sighed, and said, "Is that even a question?"
The two people who came with her immediately moved a rock and sat down, but neither of them spoke. Instead, they cautiously looked around.
"By the way, since you've come to the wasteland, have you seen a little girl, about six or seven years old?" Yan Zhiyu suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, Meng Shisan became alert. However, after carefully considering what she had said earlier and weighing the three's fighting strength, he stood up generously, carried Er'er out of the car, and then kicked Yan Zhiyu in the butt, saying, "Get up. I was the one who brought this for her."
If you want a seat, go get it yourself.
Yan Zhiyu, who was initially a little annoyed, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Er Er in the armor. Her spirits deflated, and she immediately looked at her teammates.
The two of them were like her.
Er'er was probably woken up by the noise. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, but when she saw Yan Zhiyu and the others, fear immediately appeared on her face. She turned her head and buried herself in Meng Shisan's arms.
Seeing this, Meng Shisan held Er'er in one arm and raised his gun with the other.
The other two were about to raise their guns when Yan Zhiyu waved his hand and said, "We're all going to die anyway, so it doesn't matter how we die. Put them down."
Then she looked at Er'er and said apologetically, "It's not her fault, it's all because of the bad things we did in the past."
Upon hearing this, the two men dejectedly put down their weapons, looking resigned to their fate.
"What exactly happened?" Meng Shisan knew a little about it, but he didn't know the specifics.
"How should I put it?" Yan Zhiyu thought for a moment, then took off the helmet from her armor. Perhaps she had been holding it in for too long, because she shook her head, her jet-black hair fluttering in the wind, and her delicate face was even more beautiful than Xu Xin's.
Meng Shisan felt that this woman looked familiar. After thinking carefully, Meng Shisan suddenly stood up. Wasn't this one of the top ten beauties ranked on the first floor of the Hero's Tomb?
Cao Er had instructed him to keep an eye on this floor, saying that it was filled with elites trained by the base.
"What are you doing, making such a fuss? I know I'm pretty, but I can't let you have my way with me!" Meng Shisan's reaction made Yan Zhiyu forget what she was about to say.
"Well, don't you know? In the wasteland, the more people there are, the thinner the air becomes. It was fine when you were wearing armor, but now that you've suddenly taken it off, I'm having trouble breathing," Meng Shisan quickly explained.
There's nothing wrong with what he said, but it's inappropriate for Meng Shisan to say it. As a pioneer, he actually has a much greater advantage than Yan Zhiyu.
"Ugh, what a mess this world is. Even if I'm going to die, I'd rather find a secluded place." Yan Zhiyu said, then put her helmet back on.
With a sigh, Yan Zhiyu returned to the previous topic, "You might not believe it, but we are not actually from this world."
"Us?" Meng Shisan was taken aback.
"Hmm," Yan Zhiyu said, "There are more than ten of us. In our world, we are a bunch of lawless bastards. The wealth accumulated by our families over generations has allowed us to live a life of luxury since childhood."
Nobody knows how we suddenly ended up in this godforsaken place, and it just so happens that more than a dozen of us were all together.
At first we were quite excited. After all, this was a novel experience that we might not encounter again for several lifetimes.
Let me tell you, at the time I thought this was definitely a female lead's script!
Look, we have intelligence, good looks, and a sycophantic boyfriend...
"I'll lick your sister!" Before she could finish her sentence, the two people with her immediately objected, "No, don't listen to her, this woman is no good."
Back then, we were only five or six years old, and she was a little older than us. She made a bet with a group of us boys, and whoever won would become the leader of the kids.
This woman then challenged us to a bet on who could stay in the women's restroom the longest...
They've been holding us back for over ten years over this trivial matter!
"Then tell me, did I win?" Yan Zhiyu asked with a righteous expression, "All these years, haven't I been protecting you all?"
Every time you guys get into trouble, it's always me who stands up for you.
When I discipline you at home, isn't it because I act cute and charming to help you get away with it?
A bunch of heartless bastards!
Yan Zhiyu criticized the two of them for a while before turning to Meng Shisan and continuing, "At that time, we were full of ambition. It was at this time that the base ordered us to escort Er'er to the wasteland. Our orders were to bring her back after she had stayed for 24 hours."
We'll find out what the wasteland is like once we arrive in this world.
They also have memories of what happened to Er Er.
How could you bring yourself to do it under such circumstances?
Although we are all a bunch of spoiled brats and spendthrifts, we have never bullied ordinary people over the years.
So, after a group of people thought about it, they decided to rebel.
It's a pity we didn't have time to develop stealthily, otherwise I would definitely have become the queen!
Just when we were planning to change things up, Er Er ran away from the base on his own.
So, our group rushed out of the base again, determined to find her and rescue her.
Whether we created those past memories or not, at least we are real now.
Since we've already done it, we'll accept it. Even if it costs us our lives, we'll save Er'er.
But now that we see Er'er is still alive, and you're so concerned about her, even if we die, we'll have no regrets.
It's just a bit of a shame that she didn't get to experience being a queen.
After saying that, they all looked relieved.
For them, being stranded in the wilderness as pioneers was a dead end.
They just didn't have that intense fear of death.
Meng Shisan understood as well: this was a group of spoiled rich kids overflowing with a sense of justice, and probably a bit delusional.
"By the way, how many of you came out in total?"
"More than forty, I guess. Sister Yan doesn't have any other skills, but she's good-looking and has a silver tongue. She's incredibly good at bluffing. If we give her more time, she might actually achieve her goals."
Upon hearing this, Yan Zhiyu was dissatisfied: "What do you mean by 'deceiving'? That was clearly a vision for the future. Tell me, wasn't what I described a blue ocean?"
It's just bad luck; I committed too many sins in the past, and this is karma coming back to me. Alas, God is unfair!
"By the way, where are the rest of you? Why are there only three of you?"
Meng Shisan asked curiously, knowing their predicament. Their only hope of survival now was to launch a counterattack against the base.
Moreover, he didn't believe that such a lawless group of people would accept their fate.
They might accept their fate, but these people would never.
