Chapter 241: Being Followed

Ji Yang smiled at Zhu Lin and said, "I don’t know them, but I know who sent them."

Looking at her confused look, Ji Yang handed her a piece of paper and said, "This is the list of bases that want to merge with us."

Zhu Lin took the paper from his hand and read the names of the bases listed on the paper. After reading the list, she put the paper on the table, looked at Ji Yang, and asked, "Do they all want to join us? Why?"

Ji Yang sighed and said, "The temperature outside our base is now minus fifty-nine degrees. At this temperature, most of the supplies outside have deteriorated. There is no food, water, and winter supplies, resulting in a lot of people dying every day. Because of that, those small and medium-sized bases have no choice but to merge with the larger bases to survive."

He tapped the paper and said calmly: "And these bases all chose to join us after hearing that the military base was merging with us."

After listening to Ji Yang’s explanation, Zhu Lin asked, "Then what is your decision? Are you going to let them join us?"

Ji Yang sighed again and said, "Lao Xiu and the others want to accept their request. But the problem is, we lack living space. Besides, I’m not sure if we can provide enough food and water for all of them or not with our current output of food. Even though the harvest is plentiful, the quantity is limited because of the limited farmland. I don’t want to sacrifice our people to help those I don’t trust."

Zhu Lin knew that Ji Yang was right. From what she saw and learned since she came to this world, Zhu Lin knew that the basic rule of survival in this apocalyptic world is that you cannot blindly trust others and cannot sacrifice yourself for strangers.

Although she knew this, as a god she could not ignore those in need and stand by doing nothing. After thinking about it, she looked at Ji Yang and said, "If I can provide more land for farms and residential areas, will you accept their request?"

Ji Yang looked at her, smiled helplessly, and said, "If you can provide more land, then I will accept all of them. When they join us, we can build more farmland and hire them as workers. With enough arable land and labor, the problem of food shortage will naturally be solved. After today’s first harvest, we already have enough seeds to expand the farmland."

After hearing what he said, Zhu Lin nodded and said, "I understand. Do you have any plans about the base expansion?"

Ji Yang took out a map from the drawer and spread it on the table. Pointing to the south of the resort, he said, "I plan to expand our base in this direction. The southern area is flat and has vast land. It is very suitable for residential areas and farms."

Zhu Lin memorized the map and said, "All right. I will tell you after I expand the barrier."

Ji Yang smiled at her and said sincerely: "Thank you, Xiao Lin. I don’t know how we would survive without your help."

Looking at his sincere eyes, Zhu Lin nodded and said, "We are friends. There is no need to say such things between us. Since this matter is urgent, I will do it now."

Ji Yang smiled, rolled up the map, put it back in the drawer, and then said, "All right. See you later."

Leaving the administrative building, Zhu Lin went to the southern area of ​​​​the Wu Lin Base. As soon as she leaves the farm area, she realizes that several groups of people are following her. Zhu Lin spread her divine sense and she realized that those people were the suspicious people she had seen before near the granary.

Recalling what Ji Yang had just said to her, she continued to walk south calmly. Since there was nothing in the South District except a small empty land, when Zhu Lin walked away from the residential area, there were not many people around.

When she reached the farthest place from the residential area, Zhu Lin stopped. She stood there and said calmly: "Come out. I know all of you are following me."

Hiding not far behind her, those people looked at each other in surprise. Although they know that the five senses of supernatural beings are sharper than ordinary people, they are also supernatural beings. Considering how careful they were when following her, coupled with their members’ reconnaissance abilities, it’s surprising that their target knew they were following her.

After waiting for a few seconds and they still didn’t come out from their hiding places, Zhu Lin turned around and said, "If none of you want to come out, then I will leave first since I still have things to do."

Zhu Lin waited for a few more seconds before she saw those people coming out of their hiding places one after another. She looked at them and asked, "What do you guys want from me?"

Seeing that she remained calm and polite to them, one of the captains felt guilty that they wanted to kidnap her. He thought for a moment and said, "I’m sorry, Miss, but we have no choice. If we don’t do this, our people will either starve to death or freeze to death. Our only way to survive is to kidnap you and exchange you for supplies."

As soon as he finished speaking, he and his team members rushed towards Zhu Lin while attacking her with their abilities. Looking at the colorful abilities shooting toward her, Zhu Lin stood there calmly and said, "I know all of you are doing this to survive. It’s a pity that you chose the wrong path."

After speaking, Zhu Lin flicked her palm, and Bing Jian appeared in her hand. The next second, she slashed horizontally at those people with her sword. The sword energy flew toward them, and pushed them back as they flew like kites with broken strings.

Boom! Crack! Crack! Crack!
