Chapter 664: A Hundred Meal Tickets
"Uncle, apart from these, has there been any strange occurrences here recently, like in the sea?"
The beach outside the car window looks quite flat, not like a place where large zombie ocean creatures have stranded.
It seems relatively calm here; apart from those zombie small fish, there doesn’t appear to be any other dangers.
The most dangerous thing by the sea is zombie ocean creatures suddenly jumping out from the sea.
There is such danger here, but it hasn’t happened yet, and for now, it’s not considered too dangerous.
"The sea is especially dangerous, changes particularly drastic, better not go into the sea! And —"
Uncle Li’s pupils slightly contracted, he stopped himself from speaking, his concerns deep and profound.
The breeze gently blew in through the car window, the scent of the sea wafted around everyone.
Every breath you take carries a faint seafood aroma.
Beneath the azure ocean lie too many secrets; whether before or after the apocalypse, humans seem never able to conquer the sea.
"And what else? Does Uncle know something more?"
Bai Xiqin stared at Uncle Li’s hesitant expression, trying to discern more of what she wanted to know from his face.
"It’s nothing." Uncle Li shook his head with a smile, "I can only say this much, stay away from the sea, even if your friends went to the sea, don’t go there, if you want to find your friends, just know to wait here, the chances of finding your friends on the sea are much smaller!"
In the sea, there aren’t only those large zombie ocean creatures.
The ocean is so vast, there are also some high intelligence beings.
When power and wisdom are both possessed, it means this group can speak for themselves, deciding the future of their group.
"Even if we have to wait, we need to know which direction to wait at! Can Uncle give us a hint? We won’t go, just watching one direction!"
Bai Xiqin quickly spoke before Uncle Li could refuse,
"Worth two bowls of pork and scallion stuffed dumplings."
"It’s not about the dumplings, even if I said so, your friends may not be there, what if you go there, wouldn’t it be sending yourselves to die?"
Uncle Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva, shook his head with difficulty.
Forget it, still not say it, causing a few young people to die for a bite to eat, feeling a bit guilty.
"Ten bowls!"
Bai Xiqin calmly raised the offer.
"I just glanced at it in the morning, uncertain if it was a hallucination."
"Twenty bowls!"
"Actually, I just saw a slight blue light, felt some special energy, maybe it’s other creatures in the ocean?"
"One hundred bowls, or forget it."
"Cough cough, I saw a mysterious energy in that direction in the morning, not sure if your friends went that way, but you better not go there!"
Uncle Li pointed in a direction, earnestly telling Bai Xiqin and the others not to go there.
If they died, who would give him those pork and scallion dumplings!
"Thanks, Uncle! In the future, if you want dumplings, you can come find us!"
Bai Xiqin smiled slightly, her eyes eager to look in the direction Uncle pointed.
Endless sea.
Thinking it was said yet not really said.
They don’t have a sailboat to go to sea, but she has Qin Yuan and Water Python.
One flies, one swims, sure to find clues about the Base Commander.
"Okay!"
Uncle Li nodded happily, then awkwardly rubbed his fingers and took a step toward Bai Xiqin, his hand extending hesitantly in front of her.
"It’s not that I don’t trust you, just afraid I don’t know how many dumplings I can eat, do I need a voucher?"
Such delicious stuff, a pity if missed one bowl, his head muddled, not daring to forget.
"Hold on a moment!"
Bai Xiqin turned around, rummaged around in a cabinet in the coach, then put a stack of numbered plastic cards on the table in front of Uncle Li.
Bai Zhengxuan bought these, numbers from one to one hundred, colorful.
He secretly bought them back, thinking apocalypse here, survival tough for everyone, in case he gets senile dementia affecting the family’s escape, he bought cards for contingency.
Looking at them daily, exercising the brain.
Given grandpa and grandma growing stronger and younger, afraid these cards would only pass to Bai Yifan.
Bai Yifan is no longer a rookie, now considered a dark horse.
So the family probably won’t use them, giving them to Uncle Li as meal tickets.
"This is good, I’ll have to hold onto it well, by the way! Where do you live, in case you return, I also have somewhere to find you."
Uncle Li smiled while putting the cards into his pocket, feeling secure looking at the bulging pocket.
Never have to eat raw fish slices daily again, too terrible.
"Yunhua Safety Base!" Bai Xiqin said.
"Good! Sounds like a safe base for long life!" Uncle Li raised his eyebrow.
Regardless whether this safety base is the largest in Shanghai, already classified by Uncle Li as a base needing protection.
If any thoughtless zombie dares to attack Yunhua Safety Base, must be destroyed!
"Ah! Right! I still have things to do today! Don’t you dare recklessly go to the sea, I’m leaving!"
Uncle Li suddenly slapped his forehead, suddenly standing up running towards the car door.
His speed nearly leaving a shadow.
By the time everyone reacts, Uncle Li has disappeared from their sight.
A high-ranked Wind Ability User.
"This... surely a big deal!"
Bai Yifan silently closed his mouth that had dropped open in shock, slowly exhaling.
He knew, this uncle obviously seemed very straightforward, behaving like Uncle Wang.
Not a big deal would be strange!
An expected surprise.
Bai Xiqin glanced around, confirming Uncle Li really left, then released Water Python and Qin Yuan from the space.
"Master, Master, is there something for us to help with this time?"
Qin Yuan felt very lost for not helping find the Base Commander, just wanted to quickly do more in front of Master, showing off itself well.
"Yes, still today’s task, you head that way, find the Base Commander, if found tell him to come home for dinner, Leng Yebai prepared meals."
Bai Xiqin patted the heads of Qin Yuan and Water Python, while taking out lots of their favorite fruits from the space.
"Alright! We know!"
Water Python and Qin Yuan immediately started eating the fruits, adorably.
"The sea is dangerous, don’t be reckless, look out for each other." Bai Xiqin worriedly instructed.
Although knowing their speed is extraordinary, able to return from any danger, Bai Xiqin was still somewhat concerned about them.
"Rest assured Master, I can fly, if worse comes, I’ll grab Water Python fly into the sky, won’t be dangerous, definitely find Master’s Dad’s dad!"
Qin Yuan flapped its transparent wings, easily pulling Water Python flying in the air.
Their strength wasn’t correlated to their size.
Even dragging a much larger iron pot can come and go freely.
"Thank you."
Leng Yebai watched Qin Yuan and Water Python, rare to extend his fingers gently touching the two little beasts, his gaze gentle.
