Chapter 480 Ultimate Notes 2 7
"What do you mean sneaking around? I came to take it openly and honestly," Shi Ying replied, her hands still moving.
"Alright, alright, it's perfectly aboveboard, but host, you don't lack food, so why are you taking so much?"
"Why not take advantage of something that's free? Jude Kao is paying for it anyway, and we'll need it later. I can't expect to spend my own money on supplies from my space when I'm on a mission."
She didn't want to be frugal along the way, eating and drinking whatever she wanted, and when there were other people around, she couldn't just not share food with them if they ran out.
Since it's not convenient to take things out of your own space, it's perfect to bring these along.
Finally, Shi Ying saw the people carrying things come in, stopped what she was doing, and walked out, saying earnestly:
"Xiao Qi, you have to learn to be thrifty and manage the household well, you know? We'll be relying on each other from now on. We need to keep enough resources in the space for us to make things. If we go to a world without resources, we won't have to suffer."
After hearing this, Xiao Qi reflected on herself: "Host, you're right, boohoo~ I'm still not as smart as you."
It didn't realize that it wouldn't be a problem without eating, even though it was very hungry.
Shi Ying wouldn't remind him; Xiao Qi was still adorably silly.
"You think you're smarter than me? Well, start by being a decent human being, hahaha."
Xiao Qi angrily accused, "Host, you're using a body-wide attack!"
"Sorry, sorry, just kidding!"
"Humph."
When Shi Ying returned after going out for a walk, everyone had already boarded the bus.
She looked around, then got into the passenger seat of Lao Gao's car, glancing back to say hello to Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen.
Wu Xie: "Shi Ying, why are you in the same car as us?"
"What? Can't I ride in the same car as you?"
"No, I'm just curious."
"Being too curious isn't good!" Shi Ying glanced at him with a half-smile.
Wu Xie mumbled and shut his mouth. Xie Yuchen smiled at him and said, "Why don't you ride in the same car as the quiet one?"
"I'm just worried that Black Glasses will make things difficult for you. Let them be blind and mute and live a carefree life."
Old Gao chimed in, "Where's that girl who was with you yesterday?"
Xie Yuchen said, "She had an emergency at home and went back."
"What's the emergency?"
"I forgot to turn off the gas at home."
Upon hearing this, Wu Xie and Shi Ying both laughed without restraint.
The desert road was dusty, and Shi Ying felt uncomfortable with the windows open, so she simply closed them and put on her sunglasses.
Old Gao's car was in the lead, and for some reason, he was driving incredibly fast.
"Hey Lao Gao, can you not drive so recklessly?" Wu Xie shouted, gripping the car's handrail.
Old Gao said nonchalantly, "Your brothers can keep up with my pace."
Shi Ying also spoke up appropriately: "Old Gao, slow down, or we'll fall behind!"
"OK, OK." Old Gao still had to listen to her.
Xie Yuchen said, "It's good that Miss Shi is in the same car as us, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get anyone to come."
Shi Ying thought about what would happen after the sandstorm came, and curled the corners of her mouth. There would definitely be benefits; it would prevent them from fainting from lack of water because they couldn't find their team.
A strong wind picked up outside, and sand and dust swirled all around. Xie Yuchen immediately picked up the walkie-talkie: "Everyone stop the car, put on your gear and get out."
No one would listen to him, so Shi Ying took out a walkie-talkie and said, "Stop the car, a sandstorm is coming!"
Aning then used the walkie-talkie to order the car to stop.
"Old Gao, what are you standing there for? Stop the car!" Shi Ying knew something was wrong with this guy; he might be one of its men.
Old Gao had no choice but to step on the brakes, and the group put on their goggles and got out of the car.
Shi Ying zipped her clothes up to the top, lowered her head to cover her chin and mouth, and watched coldly as Lao Gao chased after a book called "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" while she leaned against the car body.
"My book, my book!"
"Old Gao!" Wu Xie tried to pull him away, but Xie Yuchen stopped him.
He looked at Shi Ying: "Miss Shi, we need to meet up with the others first."
Shi Ying took out a compass from his pocket and looked in the direction of the signal flare in the sky: "Let's go, you guys follow!"
She walked forward with steady steps, while Xie Yuchen and Wu Xie supported each other as they followed, their steps somewhat unsteady.
"How can she walk so steadily?" Wu Xie was a little puzzled. The two of them, grown men, were not as steady as a woman.
He was basically relying on Xiaohua's support, and suddenly felt very incompetent.
Xie Yuchen comforted him, saying, "Don't compare yourself to people who have received professional training."
He was actually a little surprised. He had practiced before, but he wasn't as stable as Shi Ying in terms of lower body.
Because Shi Ying stopped Lao Gao from speeding this time, they weren't too far away from the others.
Before long, they saw Aning and the other two standing in front of the car. The sandstorm gradually subsided, and the visibility became clearer.
"Look at Zhang Qiling, the mute! I told you that if Miss led the team, Wu Xie and the other two would be fine!" Hei Xiazi patted Zhang Qiling on the shoulder.
Zhang Qiling took a step to the side; he hadn't heard him say that.
Upon hearing Hei Xiazi's words, Wu Xie walked over and said, "Shi Ying has a compass. She led us here by following the direction of the signal flare."
Zhang Qiling's gaze swept over him, then quickly passed over Shi Ying standing behind him, and he lowered his eyes again without saying a word.
Aning walked towards Shi Ying: "We need to find a sheltered spot first, and then we can all meet up."
Shi Ying put the compass away and nodded: "I'll listen to you!"
On the way, Ah Ning suddenly remembered to ask, "Where is Lao Gao, who was in the same car as you?"
Shi Ying said calmly, "He chased after a book, and we couldn't stop him."
“Yeah, Aning, I didn’t expect Lao Gao to be such a book lover,” Wu Xie added.
After hearing this, Ah Ning didn't say anything. They walked down from the high ground and found a place that was low-lying, spacious, and sheltered from the wind.
“This place is suitable, let’s make it our base!” Ah Ning suggested.
No one else objected. Shi Ying found a place to sit cross-legged, took out a coconut from her backpack, and deftly pried it open with a dagger.
Everyone noticed her movements and gained an understanding of her strength and skill in using the knife; Aning already knew this.
Upon seeing this, Hei Xiazi walked over with interest and sat down next to her: "Miss Shi, are there any more coconuts?"
"Nothing."
As she poured coconut juice into the cup, before it was even full, he immediately said, "Give the rest to the blind man!"
Shi Ying asked Aning, "Sister Aning, would you like me to pour you some?"
Ah Ning remembered that her water glass was still full, so she shook her head: "Drink it yourself, but where did you get the coconut?"
"I carried it all the way here."
Upon hearing this, Ah Ning's lips twitched slightly: "You don't find it heavy?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Ying simply smiled, knowing that it wouldn't be heavy to put in her spatial storage.
