Chapter 048 The Real Deal Has Arrived
wilderness.
A group of young people were lying behind a hill, looking at Yan Zhiyu and the others with disdain.
Behind them, a group of fully armed middle-aged men stood ready.
"My dad and his gang are really something, such a bunch of rabble, is it really necessary?"
"They're still holed up in their bunkers, and now they're dragging us down with them to embarrass ourselves." A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl among the young people lying down muttered discontentedly.
Beside her, a young man a few years older than her said, "My little darling, just shut up. Didn't you see all the pioneers have betrayed us?"
"So what if they're pioneers? Who isn't a pioneer?" Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately became unhappy. "Among those of us here, who is worse than them?"
I might not be able to work 80 hours, but within 70 hours, who am I afraid of?
Besides, how old am I?
Everyone immediately fell silent.
How can you compare yourself to them?
Seeing that no one spoke, the little girl thought she had convinced them all, and immediately said, "In this way, we'll fight our way out. As long as we capture Meng Shisan, those rabble won't dare to resist at all."
After she finished speaking, she seemed quite eager to try it out.
Seeing that she was about to get up, another woman next to her pressed her down.
"Jiajia, don't be impulsive, don't disrupt the base commander's plans."
The little girl from before was the base commander's daughter—Liu Jiajia.
If Meng Shisan knew this girl was here, and was so disdainful of him, he would probably stop at nothing to capture her.
After all, this girl has the blood of Er'er flowing through her veins.
"Sister Ting..." Liu Jiajia said, sounding a little aggrieved.
Sister Ting remained unmoved: "The base commander and the others must have their reasons for doing this."
Don't forget, our destination isn't Meng Shisan, but Number Twenty-Two.
"That's right." Seeing that Sister Ting had said so, the young man who had just spoken quickly echoed, "Jiajia, now is not the time to throw a tantrum. After we deal with the matter on the 22nd, you can do whatever you want."
In an instant, everyone started to comfort the teenage girl, as if she were the most helpless one.
"Okay..." Seeing everyone's reaction, Liu Jiajia stopped making a fuss.
Seeing this, Sister Ting immediately said, "You all stay here for now, I'll go talk to Meng Shisan."
After all, no matter what, it's perfectly reasonable for me to go and get my child back.
"Alright, Sister Ting, be careful too. Meng Shisan isn't someone you can easily get along with," someone immediately reminded her.
"It's nothing," Sister Ting said, taking off her hairband, her hair disheveled. She then smeared some ash on herself and patted it off, before finally smearing some on her face. "Look at me, don't I look like I escaped?"
Doesn't Meng Shisan like to reason? Isn't it reasonable for me to find my daughter?
Besides, Number Twenty-Two is still my own flesh and blood; in terms of kinship, am I not closer to him?
"That's true." Everyone laughed upon hearing this.
This is the biological mother of number 22. Is there a problem with a biological mother wanting her own child back?
In their view, there was no problem at all.
As she spoke, Sister Ting took a detour around the other side of the hill to leave.
In less than half an hour, Lu Ping, who was the first to spot Sister Ting, said nervously into the communicator, "Sister Yan, there's a woman crawling towards us from about 300 meters away."
"Climb?" Yan Zhiyu paused for a moment, then asked again.
"Yes, it crawled over here." Lu Ping said while looking through his binoculars. "It doesn't look very old, and doesn't seem to have anything to do with Thirteen."
Should I shoot her dead or what? She's not wearing any armor!
The last sentence is the most important: if someone can appear in the wasteland without wearing armor, they can't be an ordinary person, even if they're not a pioneer.
Yan Zhiyu didn't rush to answer, but instead said into the communicator, "Lin Bo, do you still feel like you're being spied on?"
"Yes!" Xie Linbo, who had been looking around, immediately said upon hearing this, "I feel they're not far from me. Should I take some men to scout ahead?"
"Don't act rashly," Yan Zhiyu said immediately. "Be on guard first, have everyone cock their guns, and don't fall into someone's trap."
A hasty attack won't work. The enemy is in the open while we are in the dark. If we fall into someone's ambush, who knows what will happen?
"Do you think the person spying on Xie Linbo might be after that woman?" Yan Zhiyu asked Xie Linyuan, who was standing to the side.
Xie Linyuan shook his head: "There is too little information to make a judgment at this time."
Neither of them doubted Xie Linbo's intuition; as a warmonger, his sense of danger was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
"And this woman?"
After Yan Zhiyu finished speaking, Xie Linyuan thought for a moment and said, "Observe first. If there are still traces of other people within a hundred meters of Lu Ping, capture them alive. If anything seems amiss, kill them immediately."
Lu Ping and his two companions were three people, all fully armed, making it virtually impossible for them to fail against a woman.
"Understood." Lu Ping's voice came through the communicator immediately.
Lu Ping was actually extremely nervous at this moment.
If I remember correctly, it has been five days since they left the base.
If we count from that time, this woman stayed in the wilderness for at least five days, which is even more exaggerated than Meng Shisan's situation.
Even counting from yesterday when they caused a ruckus at the base, a day has already passed.
Even now, she is second only to Meng Shisan in terms of public status.
"Ping, we're 200 meters away," the guy next to me whispered, aiming at the sniper scope.
"Keep watching." After Lu Ping finished speaking, he first picked up his binoculars and scanned the surroundings, and then put them down to look at the nearest place.
He dared not be careless.
Those pioneers who can stay in the wilderness for at least twenty hours are also worthy of his attention.
"One hundred meters," the sniper reminded them again.
"Here's what we'll do: I'll step forward, and one of you will keep an eye on the surrounding area, while the other keeps an eye on me and the target."
If the target makes any unusual movement, shoot immediately, even if she controls me, don't hesitate!
Neither of them spoke, but at that moment, silence was the best answer.
He put down his binoculars, raised his gun, and walked straight out.
When he cautiously walked to within ten meters, the person opposite him raised their head and shouted, "No...don't shoot, I want to see the base commander too."
Lu Ping, who barely managed to hear these words, was immediately stunned.
See the base commander?
Doesn't she know that things have changed at the base?
Even so, he still carefully walked over and, without saying a word, bound the woman's hands behind her back before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.
He gestured to his companion and then carried the woman back.
"Alright, we've captured her alive. What's next?" After carrying her back, Lu Ping said breathlessly into the communicator, "This woman says she wants to see the base commander?"
We can't really just send it over, can we?
"Just ask us what's going on, we're all listening," Xie Linyuan said directly.
Lu Ping didn't mince words. After the woman caught her breath, he asked directly, "What do you want to see the base commander about? Do you really think the base commander is someone you can just see whenever you want?"
The woman was none other than Sister Ting, who immediately said, "Then go and tell the base chief that I'll do anything to find my daughter."
"Your daughter?" Lu Ping was stunned. How did a daughter suddenly appear?
"Yes, I'll do anything to find Er'er, I'll never run away again," Sister Ting continued.
Upon hearing his words, not only Lu Ping, but also Xie Linyuan, Yan Zhiyu and others were stunned.
Is this Er'er's biological mother?
"Take good care of her. I'll personally inform Thirteen right away." Yan Zhiyu didn't hesitate at all. After saying that, she drove the base vehicle straight to Meng Thirteen.
He didn't want to bother Meng Shisan with ordinary matters, but Er'er's mother was no ordinary matter.
Lu Ping's tone softened considerably, and he casually untied Ting's bound hands.
While comforting Sister Ting, they waited for news from Meng Shisan.
When Meng Shisan heard the news, he was also stunned for a moment.
At first, he thought he might see his parents in the wilderness today, after hearing too much about it these past few days.
Who knew that the first thing they received was news about Er Er's own mother.
He left the group of children where they were and asked Yan Zhiyu to look after them, while he carried Er'er and ran off in that direction.
When Meng Shisan arrived, Tingjie was chatting happily with Lu Ping.
Upon seeing Er'er in Meng Shisan's arms, Tingjie, who had been leaning against the base vehicle, suddenly jumped up.
"Second daughter, where have you been all these days? I was so worried about you."
As she spoke, she reached out to take Er'er from Meng Shisan's arms.
Meng Shisan wouldn't let her succeed so easily.
Holding Er'er, he turned around and she missed.
"How can you prove that Er'er is your daughter?" he said coldly. "If I find out you're lying, I might not be any kinder than the base chief."
Er'er was somewhat at a loss when she saw this woman who claimed to be her biological mother.
His face was filled with bewilderment.
"My name is Xu Ting, and I'm Xu Xin's older sister from the medical center. If you don't believe me, you can contact Xu Xin right now to verify." Xu Ting wasn't worried at all; her identity was real, and there was no need for her to lie.
"Xu Xin's older sister?" Meng Shisan smiled.
