Xie Yayun stepped forward, put her arm around Yichun’s shoulder, and said softly,
“Let’s work together to make Hope Base stronger and more secure.”
The number of people at Hope Base had reached nearly 100. Even before the apocalypse, this would have met the requirements for a small base.
Since the mission was complete, Xu Qian didn’t want to linger any longer.
She had a happy time here, but they had already spent too much time.
Xu Qian pointed to the man beside her and introduced, “This is my teammate, Cheng Liangqing.”
The women nodded silently but did not approach.
They had an instinctive reaction to men, feeling a little scared whether the man was good or bad.
Cheng Liangqing smiled slightly and then nodded at them.
His handsome and sunny face eased the women’s guard.
They playfully teased her, asking if he was the strategist Xu’s boyfriend and why he was only showing up now.
Before Cheng Liangqing could respond, a voice filled with domineering aura cut in.
“I am Xixi’s boyfriend.”
The boy had silver hair that fell past his eyes.
He was tall and slender, wearing a tracksuit of the same color as strategist Xu’s.
He carried an air of arrogance and nobility.
Among the group of older sisters and aunts, he looked like a rebellious youth.
However, standing next to Xu Qian, they looked surprisingly well-matched.
A boy and a girl seemed destined to be together.
A light smile touched Xu Qian’s lips as she said, “This is my boyfriend, Mei Yuebai.”
[Ding, Mei Yuebai’s favorability +5, total favorability is 80 points.]
A flicker of light flashed in Mei Yuebai’s eyes. He hadn’t expected Xu Qian to admit it.
He thought someone like Xu Qian wouldn’t give herself a tie in the apocalypse.
The title of boyfriend was a sweet term before the apocalypse.
But in the apocalypse, it was a shackle.
Since they were leaving, they couldn’t forget to introduce those who had silently contributed.
They had helped a lot, both openly and in secret.
Xu Qian glanced back at a corner and said, “I have a few more teammates. You can all come out.”
The crowd emerged from the corner.
The women looked surprised. They had been at the base for a month and hadn’t seen them?
Xu Qian introduced them one by one.
The women teased, “Strategist Xu, where did you find so many handsome men and beautiful women?”
“Our base will have several more handsome men from now on.”
Most of the women who were wary of men were a little displeased.
After all, this was a women’s base. They accepted boys under 12 but no other men.
However, these were strategist Xu’s teammates, and she had helped build the base. How could they reject her friends?
They had to accept them no matter what.
Hearing their thoughts, Xu Qian smiled knowingly. It was good that they had their own rules.
It was worth all the effort she had put into the base.
“I should go.”
Xu Qian’s voice was light, as if stating a fact.
The women were stunned.
“Go?”
The children stood stiffly in place. Sister Xu was leaving?
What would happen to them?
Xie Yayun looked tense, her voice trembling slightly.
“Xiao Qian, didn’t you promise to help me build a base? Why are you leaving?”
Yichun stepped forward, grasping her hand, tears welling up in her eyes.
“Don’t go, can you stay?”
Xu Qian patted her hand and smiled faintly.
“Although this base is not yet perfect, as long as it continues to develop at a normal pace, maintaining its core values and vigilance, there will be no problem.”
Xie Yayun shook her head. “No, no, no, our base isn’t finished yet. Don’t go.”
“Strategist Xu, look, our base is still missing a lot. Could you stay a while longer?”
They were truly reluctant to see Xu Qian leave. She had painstakingly brought them out of hardship and helped them establish a foothold in the city.
She helped them build a base and asked for nothing in return.
They felt it was only right to stay and be her second-in-command.
