Chapter 152 A Narrow Encounter

After the trade fair ended, Ren Jian reluctantly left Yunmeng Mountain, looking back repeatedly.

There were so many things he wanted to buy here, but he was out of money, or rather, out of supplies.

He vowed to return with petroleum and buy all that delicious dried meat and cured meat again.

Looking at the VIP card in his hand, he felt a surge of excitement. It was given to him by Ji Shiyou.

This card was unique to him. Ji Shiyou told him he was a special customer of Mingyue Base and enjoyed VIP treatment.

At Mingyue Base, he would get a 10% discount on purchases and had the right to buy non-sale items, including various fruits.

There were apples, grapes, mangoes, and even lychees and bananas.

This made him feel very proud, as if Mingyue Base truly respected him.

In reality, Ji Shiyou felt a bit embarrassed about profiting so much from Ren Jian and wanted to offer some compensation.

Qi Wu followed Ren Jian down the mountain, looking somewhat dejected.

He was still thinking about when he could kill Yin Qing and avenge Qingying.

They were a large group, with over thirty vehicles forming a convoy, roaring away.

Baihu Base had no rules, and everyone was very laid-back. With nothing pressing to do, they traveled leisurely, like an outing.

By noon the next day, they had traveled less than thirty li. Ren Jian didn't rush them.

After all, they were a large group, and all of them were ability users, so there was no danger.

It was already noon, so they stopped the cars and started a fire to cook.

In the past, people didn't pay much attention to meals, just making do. But after leaving Yunmeng Mountain, they had fallen in love with cooking.

Because besides Ren Jian buying five thousand jin of tomatoes, other members had also bought plenty of grains, vegetables, and a large amount of meat products.

These items were delicious, especially the giant rice, which could be eaten with three bowls of rice even without any side dishes.

Thus, everyone's enthusiasm for cooking soared. However, their culinary skills were not good, so they casually threw the cured meat, vegetables, and rice into a pot to boil.

Unexpectedly, the result was surprisingly good. Soon, the aroma of claypot rice wafted out, making everyone's mouths water.

"Mug, why aren't you eating? Don't you like such delicious food?

I know what you're thinking, it's about avenging your girlfriend, right?

The world is vast, but eating is paramount. Don't worry about this.

Are you worried that they'll leave and you won't be able to find them again? Don't worry!

A monk may run away, but his temple remains. At worst, we can blockade Xuanwu Base. They can't escape.

Are you afraid you can't beat them? We have brothers. Your revenge is Baihu Base's revenge. What's there to fear!"

Ren Jian, wearing shorts, squatted in front of Qi Wu, holding a super large bowl filled with claypot rice piled up like a small mountain.

His mouth was amazing; as he chattered away, the rice in his bowl rapidly disappeared.

While Qi Wu was stunned, he even took the opportunity to snatch the pork ribs and cured meat from Qi Wu's bowl and put them into his own.

Qi Wu remained silent, his eyes fixed on the distance, as if he had tuned Ren Jian out.

But just as Ren Jian was stealing meat from his bowl, Qi Wu suddenly stood up, startling Ren Jian.

"Just a few pieces of meat, you're not going to turn on me, are you?"

Ren Jian, guilty as a thief, was so scared that he sat down on the ground, thinking Qi Wu was going to hit him over a piece of meat.

But Qi Wu didn't even look at him and ran off into the distance.

"Damn it, it's Yin Qing's car! Brothers, stop eating, follow me!"

Qi Wu was running towards an off-road vehicle. Ren Jian got up and saw that it was indeed Yin Qing and Feng Guiqu.

Qi Wu and the two of them were mortal enemies, sworn to kill each other.

Now that they had met head-on, there would be bloodshed. He knew clearly that Qi Wu was no match for Yin Qing and Feng Guiqu.

Fearing that Qi Wu would be at a disadvantage, Ren Jian didn't dare to delay, throwing his rice bowl on the ground.

He shouted, rallying the members of Baihu Base to help.

The people of Baihu Base were all brothers, prioritizing loyalty.

These hearty and righteous men, though usually jovial, would truly step up when needed.

At Ren Jian's call, everyone threw down their rice bowls and surged forward.

Like a group brawl, they followed Ren Jian to support Qi Wu.

At this moment, Qi Wu had already blocked Yin Qing and Feng Guiqu's car and directly threw a fireball at them.

Yin Qing emerged from Yuncheng Base and saw Feng Guiqu waiting alone outside. She was stunned, like a statue.

"Why are you alone? Where are they?"

Yin Qing didn't see the two spatial ability users and asked with confusion. Feng Guiqu seemed not to hear her, not responding at all.

He had been scared silly. A city within a ten-li radius had vanished before his eyes as if it were nothing.

It was like a divine miracle, with no warning and no visible external force, it was just gone.

His mind had stopped working, his thoughts blank, and he was completely frozen.

"Feng Guiqu, snap out of it!"

Yin Qing was quite satisfied with Feng Guiqu's reaction; this was the effect she wanted.

However, she still had a plan, so she patted Feng Guiqu's shoulder and woke him up.

"Qing, Qingqing, what just happened? Where is Yuncheng Base? What happened?"

Although Feng Guiqu had come to his senses, the scene was too shocking, and he hadn't recovered yet. He stammered, "What just happened? Where is Yuncheng Base? What happened?"

"I'll explain later. Why are you alone? Where are they?"

Yin Qing was considering whether or not to tell Feng Guiqu everything, where to start, and how to say it.

"Ah! I told them to go back first. The base is waiting for supplies.

I was just waiting for you here. I'm enough by myself.

Qingqing, this day feels like a dream.

First, I found a large amount of grain, and then a city disappeared before my eyes without any warning.

Moreover, I feel a sense of awe when I look at you now, like looking up at a towering mountain. You seem so unfamiliar.

Are you still the Yin Qing I knew? I'm not sure!"

Qinglian had merged with Yin Qing's body, empowered by the strength of mountains and rivers. Yin Qing's aura was like a mountain suppressing the abyss.

It was a world apart from the frail, delicate image she had maintained before. Now, she was a queen looking down on the world.

Feng Guiqu looked at Yin Qing as if he didn't know her, stepping back step by step. Yin Qing's aura filled him with fear.

"Guiqu, I'll tell you. Don't doubt me, I am Yin Qing. However, I am a reborn Yin Qing."

Seeing Feng Guiqu's reaction, Yin Qing deliberately suppressed her aura and decided to explain the matter of her rebirth clearly.

However, she would not reveal the true circumstances of her past life. Apart from being reborn, everything else she fabricated to maintain her image.

She portrayed her past self as a righteous heroine who led survivors to persevere in the apocalypse.

Later, she died while rescuing suffering humans and was reborn, thus learning about the underground granary and Qinglian.

And Mingyue was the ultimate villain, the greatest enemy of the apocalypse survivors, who had also stolen her jade pendant space.

Therefore, what needed to be done now was to kill Mingyue and reclaim the space.

Feng Guiqu did not doubt Yin Qing's words, and the two prepared to go to Yunmeng Mountain to kill Mingyue and retrieve the space.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Qi Wu on the road. Seeing Qi Wu's fireball flying towards them, a cold smile appeared on Yin Qing's lips.
