Chapter 396

Lin Qianhuan applied medicine to Ye Anqi with a cotton swab, dutifully playing the role of a listener.

She knew that the grievances and frustrations in Ye Anqi’s heart had been suppressed for too long. If she didn’t vent them, she would truly go mad.

“He was worried that the residents wouldn’t have enough to eat or wear, worried that the zombies were evolving too quickly and humans wouldn’t be able to cope.

He said he had so many things he hadn’t done, so many plans he hadn’t been able to realize.

He wanted the residents to live a good life, to have a stable home in this zombie-infested apocalypse.

This is his regret, and his last wish.

So, I want to help him fulfill his wish, to help him finish the road ahead.”

Ye Anqi’s voice gradually choked up: “But this road is really too difficult.

It’s full of thorns and pitfalls, and every step I take is cautious, but I’m still covered in wounds.

I’ve thought about giving up countless times, but I can’t, because I’m Ye Ping’s daughter.”

Lin Qianhuan sighed softly and took out gauze from her Space, carefully wrapping the treated wound.

“You’re putting too much pressure on yourself. If you keep going like this, you’ll drive yourself crazy.”

Ye Anqi looked down at the clean white gauze, and her tears finally burst.

“I understand, but the Beiling Base is my father’s life’s work, and it’s also his regret.

I can’t just watch this base go to ruin.”

Lin Qianhuan took out a handkerchief and helped her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

“Don’t worry, I’ll work with you to get the Beiling Base back on track.”

Ye Anqi stared blankly at her, feeling the soft touch of the handkerchief, and felt like it was all a dream.

“Why are you willing to help me?

The Beiling Base is a mess, and if you get involved, you’ll get hurt.

I don’t want to drag you down with me.”

Ye Anqi was already grateful that Lin Qianhuan was willing to provide the Beiling Base with supplies, and she didn’t dare to ask for anything else.

Now she has many enemies, and a wrong step will lead to her destruction.

She didn’t want Lin Qianhuan to bear such risks.

The temperature in the driver’s cab gradually increased, and Lin Qianhuan chuckled, her eyes flashing with a light that Ye Anqi couldn’t understand.

“Don’t worry, it’s those with ulterior motives who should be afraid, not me.

With me around, you’ll get your wish.”

Ye Anqi blinked, but for some reason felt much more at ease.

She was no longer alone.

Lin Qianhuan would fight alongside her, together cutting through the thorns and beasts ahead.

“Qianhuan, thank you.”

Ye Anqi solemnly thanked her, from now on, Lin Qianhuan was her confidence.

The girl in front of her was a few years younger than her, but she was inexplicably convincing, making her feel like she could rely on her.

Lin Qianhuan took out a whole set of cold-proof clothing from the Space and handed it to Ye Anqi.

“Put it on, we’re going to fight a tough battle next, first we have to make sure our bodies don’t have any problems.

The clothes you’re wearing now are too thin, you’ll freeze if you stay outside for a while.

It doesn’t hinder action to wear something thicker.”

Seeing that Ye Anqi didn’t take it, Lin Qianhuan handed the clothes closer to her.

“Just take it, I’m not giving it to you for free.

When the Beiling Base is back on track, you can convert these things into crystal cores and return them to me.”

Ye Anqi suddenly smiled, it was the first time she had smiled since her father died.

She knew very well that Lin Qianhuan was just saying this to ease her psychological burden.

Reaching out to take the clothes, Ye Anqi hurriedly changed, and her cold limbs gradually began to warm up.

She was struggling to put on the thick socks when she heard a knock on the door of the driver’s cab.

Lin Qianhuan opened the curtain and looked out, meeting Jiang Xing’s eyes.

She rolled down the window a crack: “What’s wrong? Is there a situation?”

Jiang Xing shook his head slightly: “Yi Hao and I have been watching, the district chiefs went to resident building #486.

They stayed for half an hour and then went home, none of them actively participating in the meeting.”

Ye Anqi put on her shoes and breathed a sigh of relief: “The district chief living in building #486 is called Gao Rongguang.

He’s the head of the district chiefs and is eyeing the position of base leader.

I guess he ordered these people not to attend the meeting.”

Lin Qianhuan chuckled: “If that’s the case, they probably want to seize supplies from the residents.”

Ye Anqi frowned upon hearing this: “Then what do we do? Do we distribute the supplies or not?

If we don’t, I’m afraid more people will freeze and starve to death.

If we do, the supplies will eventually flow into the hands of the district chiefs and building leaders.

Either choice is wrong.”

Lin Qianhuan raised her hand to wipe away the misty air on the window, her fingertips freezing.

“Of course we have to distribute, but while distributing the supplies, we also have to get rid of the parasites in the building.”

Ye Anqi instantly understood her meaning and hurriedly stopped her: “You want to kill the building leaders and district chiefs?

No! Absolutely not!

Although Hao Chengzhi died at my hands, he was just a nobody that no one cared about, and his relationship with Gao Rongguang wasn’t close.

Gao Rongguang wouldn’t break ties with me because of Hao Chengzhi’s death.

But if too many district chiefs are killed, Gao Rongguang definitely won’t stand for it!

He has a batch of hot weapons in his hands, and not only that, the building he lives in has the most residents in the entire Beiling Base.

If we really push him too far, all the residents in the building will be hostages!”

This is also why Ye Anqi dared not act rashly.

Lin Qianhuan tapped her knee with her finger: “If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be fine to just kill Gao Rongguang?
