CHAPTER 31: TEMPORARY BASE (2)

While most people didn’t know that this earthquake happened all over the world, how could the soldiers not know about it?

They knew.

But they said nothing and pretended that there were still good places for the people to stay. So as not to cause social unrest and possibly create more troubles for themselves.

Because if the people panicked and possibly made trouble, there was a high possibility that they wouldn’t be able to take care of them.

"It’s better than nothing," Yu Shi Lan murmured in a low voice and picked a place to rest.

The women and men’s places were separated except for family members, so Mu Ting Ye couldn’t stay close to Yu Shi Lan.

"Yeah. Anyway, if you need something, just call me." Mu Ting Ye shook his phone as if to make his point across and then headed to the place that he had chosen.

Yu Shi Lan shook her head and then followed the crowd to the women’s area. There were many people there and most of them were strangers.

"Meow." It’s so crowded!

Xiao Mao’s small face scrunched. She didn’t like the smell and there was barely enough space for Yu Shi Lan to sleep at night.

’It couldn’t be helped, the situation doesn’t really allow to live comfortably,’ Yu Shi Lan conveyed her thoughts to Xiao Mao.

If Xiao Mao had sent her a few days earlier, Yu Shi Lan might be able to make a more thorough preparation. But at the same time, she had to control her emotion even more when facing her foster family.

At that time, Yu Shi Lan has almost been consumed by her emotions and wanted to attack them.

If she had come back even earlier, there was no doubt that Yu Shi Lan would have attacked them.

So in a way, this was indeed the best time.

Before everything more miserable happened and at the very moment when she could be patient and make enough preparation for what was about to come. Because if Yu Shi Lan come back a bit later, she would have to stay in the hospital without being able to contact the outside world.

Even if she had seen through the window how miserable the outside world is, she couldn’t really do anything.

The hospital was basically isolated and her treatment would depend on the world outside.

It would be too suffocating for her.

And repeating from that line, Yu Shi Lan couldn’t guarantee that she would not want to kill a few people who had bullied her in the hospital back then. It would be troublesome if she was caught when she was not strong enough.

So this current situation was good.

"Meow." When are we leaving?

This place was not suitable for Yu Shi Lan to stay for long.

On one side, it was too crowded and on the other side, there were not enough space for Yu Shi Lan to train her body.

Even that ruined mall seemed better.

But thinking that there were too many people there... well, picking other places might be better.

’Tomorrow.’ Yu Shi Lan narrowed her eyes as she looked at the soldiers’ direction. Some soldiers had already left again after taking them here and they should be out to pick up other survivors somewhere.

And in the morning, Yu Shi Lan guessed that the number of the guards should be the smallest.

Even if she said that she wanted to walk around, they shouldn’t stop her.

In this way, even if she were to disappear, no one would suspect her and Yu Shi Lan didn’t have to worry about anything.

"Meow!" Great! Let’s eat something and then sleep!

Xiao Mao was already peeking a glance at Yu Shi Lan’s bag several times. If it was not because she was watching over her carefully, she would have already snatched several snacks from Yu Shi Lan without hesitation.

"There’s no relief food, so just make do with it," Yu Shi Lan said and then took the dried fish from her bag for Xiao Mao.

"Meow?" Relief food?

Yu Shi Lan then explained that after disaster, there will be some people who will provide help, including food and blankets for them to rest.

But considering the degree of this disaster....

She lowered her head and tugged on the blanket as she took out some food from her own bag.

There would not be any relief food.

Not before they could prepare the base to protect the survivor.

"Meow." Huh? There are also this kind of thing in the mortal side in the cultivation world, but I’m not familiar with it. Xiao Mao tilted her head, trying to remember those things but there was indeed not much to say.

"True." Yu Shi Lan nodded but didn’t think too much.

She didn’t want to remember the cultivation world for the time being.
