Xu Ying thought for two seconds and said, “Come with me to the grocery store.” Then, Xu Ying asked Dai Shuying to buy more while she restocked.

Dai Shuying saw the endless supply of goods coming in without any interruption because of her large purchases. The shock in her heart rose to another level, but she also knew that she should not ask what she should not ask.

Xu Ying looked at her. “That’s all for today. You can’t take any more with you. Next time you come in the middle of the night, call a truck and transport it out quietly. Don’t let anyone see it.”

Dai Shuying nodded and paid. A box of sanitary pads, five bottles of shampoo, and five bottles of shower gel were only worth 10,000 gold coins. She felt that it was ridiculously cheap and could not help but ask Xu Ying, “Do you do charity?”

“You’re the one, aren’t you?” Xu Ying asked. “You definitely didn’t buy so many for your own use. You bought them out of your own pocket for the girls in your team, right?”

Dai Shuying lowered her voice. “I’ll thank you on their behalf. It’s too hard on them without these things.”

Xu Ying shook her head. “They should thank you. If you didn’t think for them, they wouldn’t have needed my things. You and Major General Wei are the same kind of people.”

Dai Shuying was silent for a moment before she suddenly said, “In the future, if you need my help in the Vermilion Bird Base, I’ll be able to support you.” After saying that, she carried the two boxes of things and left proudly and confidently.

Xu Ying burst out laughing. She felt that Dai Shuying was really cool.

The next day, Dai Shuying distributed the items.

The girls in the team were both shocked and happy. “Sis, where did you get this? You went to block Major General Wei again? He hadn’t heard of any Wasteland Reclaimers bringing back supplies recently.”

“Don’t talk so much,” Dai Shuying said coldly.

Everyone knew that she had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. They all smiled and thanked her.

Someone guessed, “Did you get this from the Peach Blossom Land? Are there really a lot of supplies over there?”

“Of course. Look at what Sister Shuying did. Now, other than the Wasteland Reclaimers’ inventory, where else could we get these things? Do you think this is before the apocalypse?”

“Sister Shuying, since you live there, tell us what the Peach Blossom Land is like. I heard that the landlady is ruthless.”

The image of Xu Ying’s harmless, underage face and lean body appeared in Dai Shuying’s mind. She said with a dark face, “She’s a very good person. Without her approval, you won’t have these things.”

The girls believed Dai Shuying’s words without a doubt. In the future, if they met someone who spoke ill of them, the female soldiers of the city defense would be the first to disagree.

In the next week, the armed forces in the Vermilion Bird Base were getting stricter.

Although Xu Ying didn’t leave Peach Blossom Land, she could tell from Dai Shuying’s schedule. She was so busy that she didn’t even have time to call a truck to tow the goods.

Wei Qiyan said that recently, she had been standing on the sentry post day and night looking for traces of mutated zombies. Her eyes were almost bloodshot.

“She can see every street in the Vermilion Bird Base?” Xu Ying was confused. “Is she a radar?”

Wei Qiyan raised his eyebrows. “Her superpower is ‘Heavenly Eyes’. As long as her field of vision is wide enough, she can observe every corner of her field of vision.”

“Wow!” Xu Ying exclaimed.

Wei Qiyan nodded and suddenly thought of something. “Last time Ge Aiyao asked you if you have the electric fence now? The main reason why the zombies could sneak into the base was that the defense of the base wasn’t done well.

It would have been fine if he hadn’t mentioned it, but Xu Ying’s face turned bitter at the mention of it. “No, I still don’t.” She also wanted defensive items, but that hidden shop had to trigger a hidden quest. She had no clue and could only see gray items every time.

Wei Qiyan understood her expression. She didn’t seem to have a choice. “I’m going to look for some building materials or manufacturing machines the day after tomorrow. If I can’t find them, I’ll have to go to other bases to buy them.”

These words gave Xu Ying a bad feeling. “Why are you in such a hurry to build the city wall? It shouldn’t be because of that mutated zombie, right?”

Wei Qiyan didn’t hide it anymore. “There will probably be a large-scale zombie evolution in the next two to three years. They will be very lethal. Without the protection of the city walls, they will most likely attack the base.”

Xu Ying had grown up for eighteen years. She had watched the Vermilion Bird Base being built step by step. Although it wasn’t perfect, at least the people living in it were able to stay away from the zombies. It was a glimmer of hope that the apocalypse had given to mankind. She did not want to see her home destroyed, so what was this hidden mission? There was no hint at all…
