Chapter 016 Stainless Steel
Speaking of other people.
Yan Zhiyu and the others clearly hesitated.
After hesitating for a long time, Yan Zhiyu finally said, "At that time, we were being watched by people from the base, so we split up."
Firstly, we need someone to lure those people from the base away, and secondly, if we split up, we'll have a better chance of finding Er'er.
In our memory, when we first brought Er'er out, we headed north, so we kept looking in that direction.
It was quite a coincidence, but we actually found it.
After saying that, she turned her gaze to Meng Shisan's arms.
Er'er is curled up like a kitten right now.
It was only then that Yan Zhiyu reacted, asking in surprise, "You're just holding her like that?"
"What's the problem?" Meng Shisan was also taken aback. Although men and women are supposed to be very separate, how old is a girl at 22?
"No, isn't that the Wasteland Armor she's wearing? It weighs over 70 pounds, and you're just carrying it like that?" Her two companions were also taken aback when she said that.
Oh right, with the little girl included, it weighs over 100 pounds, and you're just carrying it like that?
"Hey, pioneers, their physique is naturally stronger than yours."
"Why don't you mention that I don't need armor in the wasteland?" Meng Shisan quickly tried to cover it up.
His physique is unmatched, not to mention ordinary people, even pioneers.
He was used to it, but others were still somewhat surprised to see him handle things so effortlessly.
"By the way, you said you were being watched by the base. I heard you mention that on the radio before. Your radio coordinates were on then. Are they still on now?"
Meng Shisan immediately changed the subject.
"Don't worry about that. We only revealed ourselves because we sensed someone nearby, and then we separated," Yan Zhiyu said. "Right now, my companion has led the person south."
"Did the base really send people out? Are they from the field operations department or the pioneers?"
"We only know that there are people, but we don't know whether they are pioneers or field agents."
However, one thing is certain: they are either looking for us or for Er'er.
Personally, I think the probability of finding someone with a second or third rank is higher.
After all, in their eyes, it was a foregone conclusion that we would die in the wilderness.
Er Er is different. You may not know that as early as half a year ago, Er Er had a record of surviving alone in the wilderness for 43 hours.
Compared to us, Er Er is much more valuable in their eyes.
"Perhaps after we die, they'll be willing to come looking for us, since the thing they care about most about us is this armor."
Hearing him say that, Meng Shisan was a little surprised and looked at Er Er nestled in his arms. Was this guy really that powerful?
Now he was certain of what the propaganda minister had said when he abruptly stopped.
Perhaps some unknown pioneers were indeed cultivated within the base.
"By the way, you still haven't told me why you're here?"
This shouldn't be happening. In the past, every explorer who spent more than five hours in the wasteland was taken away by the base.
Even if they don't attack you, they won't let you leave the base.
After Yan Zhiyu finished speaking, the other two asked with curious expressions.
After they transmigrated, their memories were also filled in. These events were as if they had personally experienced them, and they would not make any mistakes.
"Would you believe me if I said the base sent me to find you?"
Meng Shisan didn't hide anything, "See? Just to find you guys, the base even specially provided me with a base vehicle and a set of armor."
Initially, the group was a little nervous when they heard him say that, but after hearing what he said next, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"If you ask me, you should stop hanging out with the base. Isn't that going to ruin you?"
Look at Er Er again, it's all their fault.
If you're willing, how about you work with us?
Let's coordinate an attack from the inside and outside, storm back to the base, take down that damn base commander, and then the entire base will be under our control.
Let's experience what it's like to be a mountain king for a while.
Yan Zhiyu said, "We may not be any better than those hypocritical guys in the base, but we're definitely better than them, right?"
At least we don't bully the weak; on that point alone, those guys at the base can't compare to us.
She was genuinely trying to win over Meng Shisan.
"That shouldn't be the case," one of her companions said. "The base treats you like this, don't you have any resentment at all?"
The pioneers couldn't possibly be unaware of the dangers the armor posed to them, yet Meng Shisan accepted it so readily; he truly couldn't understand it.
"Don't you understand?" Meng Shisan looked at the group, especially Yan Zhiyu, and laughed, "I told you from the beginning that you know very little about the base."
Do you know where all the pioneers who have been exploring for more than five hours go?
"Weren't they secretly taken away by the base?"
"It's true that they were taken away and their freedom was restricted, but it's completely different from what you think." Meng Shisan said, and then introduced the situation of the Heroes' Tomb to the group.
After hearing this, the expressions on their faces were all shocked.
"Holy crap! Pioneers get this perk?" As he spoke, the guy slapped himself through his helmet. "Damn it, I'm a loser too. Even after transmigrating, I'm destined to be cannon fodder."
If they become pioneers, wouldn't they show them what a level 8 gale really is?
Meng Shisan smiled without saying a word. Everyone who holds this idea will eventually only be stubborn.
"Speaking of which, you should know this, shouldn't you?" Meng Shisan looked at Yan Zhiyu with some curiosity.
Yan Zhiyu looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"
"You didn't know? In the Heroes' Tomb Auditorium, your big screen is on the first floor."
They told me I could choose whatever I wanted, and someone even recommended you to me.
As Meng Shisan spoke, Yan Zhiyu's expression changed repeatedly.
Her two companions, however, kept suppressing their laughter, clearly gloating.
"Laugh at your sister!" Yan Zhiyu said irritably. "That only proves that I am naturally beautiful and have a stunning appearance."
Hurry up and tell them all to head to the base.
A bunch of worthless bastards, they actually treated me like a prostitute and put me on a pedestal.
Even if it means death, I'll make them suffer a great loss!
She was genuinely angry, but that's a normal reaction, and Meng Shisan could understand it.
On the contrary, he couldn't understand Xu Xin's situation.
"Then why would they let you out?" her companion asked, and everyone looked at Meng Shisan.
Meng Shisan didn't hide anything and explained his situation, but of course, he didn't mention his extraordinary self-healing ability.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him again, but their gazes were somewhat disrespectful.
"A real man!" someone couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"It's come to this, so come with us. Let's fight our way back to base. Even if we die, it won't be a loss." Yan Zhiyu was now even more eager to win them over. "Once we're in power, I'll figure something out for you. If all else fails, we'll get you a stainless steel one."
Upon hearing this, Meng Shisan nearly collapsed on his backside.
Her two companions were laughing so hard they were doubled over.
However, at this moment, Meng Shisan was certain that these guys really wanted to cause trouble.
All that he said before was just a test of their attitude.
He immediately asked seriously, "What are you planning to do? Even if all forty of you are still alive, do you think such a small number can fight the base head-on?"
"Who said it's just us?" Meng Shisan revealed the truth, and Yan Zhiyu stopped hiding anything. "There are some things you don't know. Let me put it this way: there are quite a few people in the base who want to overthrow them."
Just a few days ago, there was a riot at the Department of Energy.
At that time, the armed forces mobilized over a thousand people to suppress the rebellion, and we went with them.
I heard that more than a hundred people were killed, and the situation was only brought under control after a camp was blown up.
However, we managed to rescue the riot leader amidst the chaos. That guy isn't exactly a peaceful character, and he might be causing trouble at the Department of Energy again right now.
We agreed that as long as we made a big fuss, he would coordinate with us from the Department of Energy.
Do you really think we'd fight an unprepared battle?
"Right now, if you just pretend to capture us while our armors are low on energy and take us back to base, then the job will be half done."
"Energy Department riots?"
Meng Shisan genuinely didn't know.
The base maintains extremely strict control over all information.
Could this person causing trouble at the Ministry of Energy be another time traveler?
Without sufficient information, Meng Shisan didn't rush to make a judgment and immediately asked, "To what extent do you intend to go?"
"Of course, we should get rid of all the high-ranking officials at the base," Yan Zhiyu said. "Their existence itself has hindered the development of the base. I didn't know that before, but now that you mention it..."
They must have created the Er'er, perhaps to gain something for nothing and obtain the pioneers' genes from the Er'er.
"Once we get rid of all the top brass at the base, surely we can manage it properly?"
Meng Shisan shook his head: "You guys are so petty. After all this time, all you have is this much courage?"
Sorry, the stakes are too low, I won't get involved.
"How big do you want to play?" Yan Zhiyu became interested upon hearing this.
Not only her, but her two companions also became interested.
