Chapter 306: An Jinli

After rummaging for a while, under the woman’s gaze, he pulled out two cans of beef, a bag of compressed biscuits, a bottle of mineral water, and a chocolate bar.

The woman expected him to give her the clothes after producing these supplies, but to her surprise, Liang Yu pushed the food towards her instead.

The woman looked at Liang Yu, then at the food on the ground, and pointed at the small pile of food, asking with some confusion, “For me?”

Liang Yu nodded affirmingly.

“You said it was a trade, but I can’t give you this set of clothes, so I can only give you these as an exchange.”

Upon hearing the reply, the woman didn’t hesitate. She picked up a can of beef and the chocolate, sat down to the side, and prepared to enjoy a good meal.

When she first held the chocolate, she noticed it hadn’t softened from the temperature, which surprised her, but she didn’t ask about it.

She carefully put the chocolate into her backpack. This stuff was very valuable, and the woman was reluctant to eat it, planning to trade it for other supplies.

Liang Yu also found it strange that the woman in front of him didn’t take all the food and even left him water, which made him curious.

So he picked up a can, sat next to the woman, opened his can, and started eating.

The two of them sat there eating their cans. The woman paid no attention to Liang Yu, slowly savoring the delicious beef.

In the past, this beef might not have even warranted a second glance, but now, anything with seasoning was a top-tier delicacy. As for additives?

Who cared about that? Being able to eat was good enough. Eating food with additives wouldn’t kill you immediately.

Finally, Liang Yu’s patience ran out, and he was the first to speak.

“What are you thinking? I gave you everything, and you only took these two items.”

The woman slowly swallowed the beef in her mouth before responding to Liang Yu.

“If I took everything, wouldn’t a young master like you starve to death?”

“Then what’s the difference between saving and not saving?”

This sentence truly silenced Liang Yu. By common understanding, it was indeed true; these were all his supplies. If she took everything, the ‘young master’ she spoke of would surely die.

For some reason, Liang Yu suddenly felt a bit exhausted, so he opened the mineral water and took a sip.

He had just finished a sip, the bottle still in his hand, the cap not yet twisted on, when the woman’s arm reached over, took the mineral water, and guzzled it down.

She stopped when about half a bottle remained and returned the water to Liang Yu, only to see an expression of utter disgust in Liang Yu’s eyes.

Liang Yu was genuinely disgusted by the other person. He wasn’t entirely against sharing, provided it was the right person. For example, Lan Ling’s hands were within his acceptable range, but as for this woman in front of him, he’d rather not.

The woman quickly understood what Liang Yu was disgusted by. She put the water aside, continued eating her can, and even complained.

“You young masters, still so picky in a situation like this. It seems your backing is quite strong, huh?”

“How come I haven’t heard of you?”

“Let’s discuss something. I’ll escort you back, and then you give me some supplies as an escort fee.”

“Tell me, which family are you from in the base?”

Actually, the woman just said it casually. She knew that if someone like Liang Yu went missing, many people would surely come looking for him, so she wouldn’t even have a chance to escort him.

But from the woman’s casual remark, Liang Yu found the key point. He couldn’t pretend not to hear the word ‘base’.

So he prepared to try and get some information from her.

“My surname is Ba, the Ba from ‘Bawang’ (Overlord).”

“I’m ranked eighth, so they all call me Ba Ba.”

“What about you?”

The woman, who was eating, rolled her eyes at Liang Yu. After swallowing her last mouthful of food, she eyed his unfinished can and casually pointed, asking, “Are you still eating?”

Seeing Liang Yu’s expression, she didn’t even wait for a reply before taking it and placing it in front of herself, then said,

“If you don’t want to say, it’s fine to make up a fake name.”

“But you’ll easily get beaten up like that.”

“If you said that outside, you wouldn’t live five minutes.”

After two bites of beef, she looked at Liang Yu and said, “An Jintong.”

“An from ‘safety’, Jin from ‘danjin’, and Tong with the wood radical.”

After she finished speaking, she noticed Liang Yu’s eyes fixed on her, and he uttered the word ‘profession’.

Liang Yu was indeed very curious about An Jintong. After all, her over-the-shoulder throw was incredibly skilled, which inevitably made him a little suspicious.

He then heard the other party laugh.

“Profession? Haven’t you seen it?”

“I’m just a junk collector.”

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to speak, Liang Yu didn’t intend to press further. Instead, he started to introduce himself again.

“Li Feiyu.”

“Li from ‘strict’, Fei from ‘flying’, and Yu from ’thunderstorm’.”

What he got in return was An Jintong’s mockery.

“Hello, my nickname is Han Tianzun.”

…

Countless alpacas stampeded through Liang Yu’s mind. He sighed helplessly, only to hear An Jintong’s words again.

“Is that really your name?!”

Liang Yu didn’t respond but asked a question he really wanted to know.

“How far is the base from here?”

An Jintong looked at Liang Yu with some surprise.

“You don’t know?”

Then, remembering Liang Yu’s persona, she added, “You really wouldn’t know.”

“The base is over eighty kilometers from us. If you walk, it will take about four or five days.”

After hearing An Jintong’s words, Liang Yu immediately opened the map in his glasses, searched nearby, and then asked, “With us as the center, in which direction is the base?”

An Jintong couldn’t say the exact direction. She took out a compass from her bag to confirm their current location, then pointed east.

Liang Yu locked onto the approximate location on the map and immediately had the Satellite search in that area.

Indeed, he finally found the location of that base. He also knew why he hadn’t discovered it last time.

This base was essentially a large factory, completely blocked off on all sides, with no discernible entrance or exit.

Through his observation, many Survivors entered houses about thirty meters from the large factory and then used an underground tunnel they had dug.

This was a massive undertaking in the current climate, but they had achieved it.

Liang Yu had no particular thoughts about this Survivor base; he simply let things be. Seeing that they had blocked off all sides, he guessed they had encountered the Zerg.

While Liang Yu was lost in thought, An Jintong called out to him.

“What are you thinking about? You’re so engrossed.”

An Jintong, having eaten her fill, put away the bottle of mineral water and looked at Liang Yu, asking, “What do you say?”

“Do you know where to go and meet up with the people looking for you?”

However, the answer she received was that Liang Yu didn’t know.

An Jintong was now considering whether to help Liang Yu. After all, her impression of Liang Yu was quite good, unlike the other people she had met.
