EBE Chapter 129 "Welcome" to the Wasteland World
Chapter 129 "Welcome" to the Wasteland World
The nine elite soldiers who had accompanied Yufei also stood firmly behind her. All ten of them knew that each journey through time might be a one-way trip.
But the Great Xia had been terrified of poverty. Although international policies had eased for them, technological blockades remained. Everyone there knew that falling behind meant being vulnerable to attack.
Advanced technologies were unavailable for direct learning; instead, quick-witted international students had to memorize them to bring back home, hindering their development and research.
Those technological barriers aren't easy to overcome! Now that they have this opportunity to exchange technology that surpasses that of those countries, sacrificing their lives would be worthwhile.
A large truck slowly drove up from the side and into the formation. Grandpa Zhu and Yufei gave instructions...
"We don't know where you're going. You said the teleportation array can transport 10 tons of things, so we've prepared a truckload of supplies for you."
Most of the items were supplies, including water and food. There was also a small box containing specialties of our Great Xia Dynasty: silk, tea, and a little gold. I originally wanted to bring you some porcelain, but it was too heavy.
There was also a large wooden crate filled with gunpowder at the front of the vehicle! Just in case.
Grandpa Zhu spoke at length, as if he were giving instructions to a child about a long journey. The other nine people were already in place, and Yufei also said her final goodbye to Grandpa Zhu.
"Don't worry, Grandpa Zhu! We'll bring you good news! Let's go!" Yufei was determined to make sure they all returned safely.
If a situation becomes truly unavoidable, she will take them into a hidden space, but either only unconscious people can enter, or a contract must be signed.
The dragon baby said that the secret of the space must never be revealed to anyone. If things get really bad, they should either fall into a coma or sign a contract.
Of course, this was the worst-case scenario, and she tried her best to prevent it from happening! As Yufei took out the last energy stone from the formation and placed it in her palm, the energy stone emitted a bright sapphire blue light under her activation.
The other energy stones in the formation also activated and glowed. Then, the energy stone in Yufei's hand floated into the air, casting a pale blue light curtain.
Their figures gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Salute!" The crowd, watching them disappear, offered them their most solemn blessing.
Yufei and the others felt a sudden darkness and weightlessness, then their vision cleared.
Before Yufei could even look around, she started gagging. The others were stunned for a second, then formed a protective circle around her.
They were also paying attention to their surroundings. The surrounding area was a barren wasteland, with not a blade of grass growing. The direct sunlight made their skin feel uncomfortable, even a little itchy.
Yufei snapped out of her weightlessness, looked up, and stood up to see the faces of the people who had come with her.
"Oh no! Get in the car right now!" Yufei didn't have time to explain before urgently saying her first words to the group.
Once in the car, Yufei took out a bottle of sunburn ointment from her backpack, intending to have them apply it.
"It's no use! They're not sunburned," Dragon Baby's voice echoed from the space.
"What's going on?" Yufei asked anxiously! Could it be that their journey has already ended badly, and they're going to be stranded here?
"Radiation! I can feel radiation everywhere here," the baby dragon said seriously.
"What you need is radiation protection, not sunscreen!"
"I'm so lucky! Grandpa Zhu and the others never expected we'd enter a radiation zone! What do we do now?" Yufei asked Long Baobao as she put the sunscreen back into her spatial storage.
She was certain that the dragon baby had a plan; she wouldn't let them die before they even got started.
"Ten new species!" Baby Dragon acknowledged that she could indeed solve her current problem, but she couldn't do it for free; she would have to pay a price.
"Are you robbing me?! A location seed that can locate a world only requires 10 new species, and you want 10 new species for radiation protection?"
Yufei was surprised to see the dragon baby Xiaojun turn into a shrewd businessman.
"So, do you want it or not?" Xiao Jun had a "I'm a scoundrel, so what?" look on her face, convinced that this thing was one of the ten new species and there was no room for negotiation.
Yufei took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, saying, "Yes!"
The baby dragon was fast too. After Yufei said she wanted it, the number of species on the panel decreased by 10, and then 10 small bottles were delivered to her.
"This is an isolation spray that can treat the radiation-damaged skin on your face. It also forms a 24-hour protective layer, ensuring the sprayed area is protected from radiation for 24 hours."
"Also, please note that unless it's a specific type of anti-radiation clothing, your clothes won't block this radiation," Long Baobao explained to Yufei while introducing their products, offering her a friendly reminder.
Yufei would have been fine if she hadn't listened to its explanation; after listening to it, she felt an urge to immediately enter her space and strangle it.
"Only 24 hours of quarantine?! What's the difference between dying sooner and dying later? This is deceiving consumers! It's a regression in species!" Yufei was starting to lose her composure.
"No, no! 24 hours means hope! You guys should hurry and find the human base while you still have 24 hours. I've detected signs of life on this planet, life forms with human characteristics like yours."
Dragon Baby seemed particularly afraid that Yufei would return the product, and hurriedly explained...
"Really?!" Yufei asked Longbao suspiciously.
"It really is! More real than pearls!"
Yufei had no other choice but to trust the dragon baby. When Yufei came back from her daze, she saw a group of soldiers sitting in the car, looking at her with concern.
Yufei quickly took out the protective spray, explained the situation to them, and gestured for them to go to the front of the car one by one to spray themselves with the spray before returning.
One of the soldiers nodded, took Yufei's things, and distributed them to the others.
He spoke to Yufei.
"Yufei, why don't you go spray the weatherstripping on the front of the car first? We brothers will go a few at a time after you're done!"
"That~"
"Just call me Lei Jun!" the person speaking to Yufei said crisply.
"Okay! Brother Lei Jun, how about this? That lady and I will go ahead and spray the protective spray. It's just the two of us girls, so you guys can just spray the spray in the car!"
The radiation is causing our faces to look like this. Before it causes any harm to our bodies, quickly spray it on.
Yufei thought for a moment and proposed the optimal solution.
The others nodded in agreement, and the only girl among the nine soldiers stepped forward, smiling and nodding to Yufei.
"My name is Li Lanjuan~ You can just call me Sister Juan~ Let's go."
When Yufei and Li Lanjuan arrived at the front of the car, Li Lanjuan immediately began to take off her top and bottom and spray herself with protective spray.
Yufei was a little shy because she had never had her clothes undressed before. Li Lanjuan smiled knowingly and pulled a piece of cloth between them from somewhere.
"I'm all better!" Yufei said shyly, knowing she was being a bit dramatic, but she was genuinely a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, little sister! We Northeasterners are used to getting together for a scrub in the bathhouse, but we know you Southerners aren't used to it—it's normal."
To avoid embarrassing Yufei, Li Lanjuan laughed heartily and said...
