Chapter 284: Not Really
What happened in her previous life that caused them to leave the base in the first place?
Yu Shi Lan didn’t seem to remember that clearly.
"Are you worried?" Mu Ting Ye asked.
"Not really." Yu Shi Lan looked at Mu Ting Ye. "I thought that you would be more concerned about the base than me."
"Me?" Mu Ting Ye tilted his head and then laughed. "Do you have some misconception about me? I’m not a soldier like Mu Ting Yu and I certainly didn’t have the interest to become one. Even if the entire world is destroyed, as long as my family is fine, then I wouldn’t care that much."
Yu Shi Lan looked at Mu Ting Ye a few more times after she heard his words.
To be honest, this was the first time she heard something like this, which surprised her quite a bit.
After all, Mu Ting Ye came from a military family and she had seen how righteous Mu Ting Ye’s father and Mu Ting Yu were. Mu Ting Ye’s mother was calmer and didn’t seem to care about these things, though.
Mu Ting Ye noticed Yu Shi Lan’s confused gaze and then said, "Besides, in the face of natural disaster, do you really think that I can do something?"
He’s just an ordinary human being.
Even though Mu Ting Ye might have some chances to meet with Old Master Ye, he didn’t think that he was so great that his action would affect the entire world.
What Mu Ting Ye wanted was nothing more than a platform to train and so on.
Yu Shi Lan shook her head.
She knew how small human being in the face of natural disasters were. Because in her previous life, she had seen too many cultivators fell in the cultivation world.
Not because of conflicts with each other, not because of their own incompetence, but simply because they were incapable of doing anything in the face of the nature.
Yu Shi Lan had seen many people and even cultivators fell.
So she knew very well that one must be in awe for nature and respect it.
Because they were indeed very small.
But at the same time, cultivators had to bravely more forward because they longed to achieve things that most people wouldn’t be able to achieve in their entire life.
"See. Even you also think that way." Mu Ting Ye laughed.
Yu Shi Lan was speechless.
"I can’t really understand whether you’re laughing at yourself or at me now," Yu Shi Lan couldn’t help but complain.
Mu Ting Ye smiled in response and shrugged. "Who knows?"
The two of them passed by the mall and entered without hesitation. Unfortunately, this mall was still as empty as ever and most people were focused on their own survival. Even if some people did think of using this natural disaster to earn profit, not many people have this chance.
Even if they have the chance, they have to carry a huge risk if they wanted to open a store.
In this way, only one restaurant was open in the entire mall.
"Why is it so empty?" Yu Shi Lan muttered to herself, feeling that it shouldn’t be like this. In her previous life, it seemed that the mall was quite lively and there were a few stores.
"The regulation has become strict after finding out that the demonic beasts’ meat are harmful," Mu Ting Ye said calmly.
He was not too surprised by the mall’s empty state.
After all, Mu Ting Ye had heard from his brother about the strict regulation and the implementation of more rules.
When Yu Shi Lan heard this, her expression turned a bit strange.
It seemed that because she caused trouble for Lian Lei Xu in advance, it also affects the subsequent development for the people in City A Base.
Yu Shi Lan looked at the empty mall and sighed.
Probably, this would be for the best.
After all, Yu Shi Lan knew very well that City A Base wouldn’t last long. But she didn’t know the specific reason as to why they have to leave the base in the future. In her previous life, she knew nothing and only followed along with many other people who also didn’t know the reason.
But she remembered that the areas around City A Base was badly flooded.
It seemed that the water level should be higher than this.
Yu Shi Lan looked in the direction of the gate for a moment before retracting her gaze. She had no intention of interfere in this matter.
Besides, what could she do?
Give warning?
Without any concrete evidence, no one would bother to listen to her and Yu Shi Lan didn’t want to do this wasteful work.
"I thought more people will try to do business," Yu Shi Lan said.
"Some people did try but if their products are not sustainable, the base refused to let them open the store," Mu Ting Ye explained.
Most of the resources that they could get were all from scavenging around and the base didn’t want to let people become thieves. Some people do want to take advantage of this situation and salvages many things.
But in the end, they could not open a formal store.
Instead, they had to open a roadside stall in the so called black market.
Yu Shi Lan had paid a visit there a few months ago, but she guessed that the situation should have improved by now.
If there was time, she felt that it would be fine to pay another visit.
"If you want to try opening a store, I think that you will definitely succeed." Mu Ting Ye grinned when he thought about this.
And it would be fun~.
Yu Shi Lan stared at Mu Ting Ye expressionlessly.
She didn’t have anything that she could make, so opening up a store is impossible.
"I think it’s better for you to be the one to open up a weapon store, Mu Ting Ye," Yu Shi Lan replied with a smile.
