127: Chapter 127 Preparation

President Ye An practically inhaled his dinner, showing none of the decorum expected of a President.

By the time he had eaten his fill and walked out supporting himself against the wall, he would never forget the looks the crowd behind him gave him for the rest of his life.

But President Ye An's stance was: what is image? Can it be eaten? If he cared about his image, would he have been able to eat his fill tonight?

Clearly, it was impossible.

Qi Yin's current thought was that since the Black-Robed Person had appeared near Shanhe Base, they would inevitably have to make a trip there once Xiao Sinian woke up.

It would be better to take advantage of the fact that Xiao Sinian hadn't woken up yet to set up the supply vending machines as quickly as possible.

Xiyin Base was large in scale, with military camps distributed at the four corners and the center. Other areas, besides warehouses and specialized research laboratories, consisted of residential buildings for survivors.

She planned to set up a set of supply vending machines at the central location and in the survivor residential area, then see if more needed to be added based on feedback.

She felt at ease leaving this matter to Uncle Chen.

Late at night, Qi Yin sat by Xiao Sinian's window, looking at the man on the bed who was still unconscious but whose face was noticeably more flushed, and let out a yawn.

She reached out to hook her pinky with his and murmured, "Xiao Sinian, hurry up and wake up. It feels so boring without you."

Ye An's reaction when he saw her today proved that Xiao Sinian must have mentioned her frequently to him; otherwise, the man wouldn't have come up with that fallacy of her being "Xiao Sinian's wife."

Honestly, did he have her consent? How unsportsmanlike.

She applied a bit more pressure with her hand, but the man still didn't react.

Qi Yin sighed; it seemed he wouldn't be waking up anytime soon.

Since she was idle anyway, she decided to go into the space to look for clues about Darkness Power.

When she flashed inside, Xiao Yu, the dutiful little gardener, was still leading a group of clones on patrol around the spiritual fields, fearing that some "person" might cause trouble.

The "person" who was constantly being guarded against—Xiao Bai—was currently lying listlessly on the ground, wagging its tail.

Qi Yin walked over, sat on its back, and tugged its ears.

"Why is our Xiao Bai unhappy?"

Xiao Bai: "Xiao Yu hit me..."

Its aggrieved little look was incredibly adorable to Qi Yin.

The only one who could make this little devil feel wronged was indeed probably only Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu flew over: "What kind of pity are you trying to evoke, you dog? Look at what you've done to my chicks!"

She looked indignant. Following the direction Xiao Yu was pointing, Qi Yin looked over.

Good heavens, the chicken coop she and Xiao Yu had spent several days building had collapsed. The newly hatched chicks could only be raised in the open, leaving chicken droppings all over the space.

She slapped Xiao Bai on the head: "You damn Xiao Bai, look at the mess you've made."

It's not like you're the one who has to clean up; if you don't get hit, who will?

"Xiao Yu, keep an eye on him. Make him lick all the chicken droppings on the ground clean!"

He could swallow filthy, disgusting zombie crystal cores in one gulp, so what was wrong with eating a few bites of poop?

Having been given the authority, Xiao Yu naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass, pulling at Xiao Bai until he yelped.

Qi Yin couldn't be bothered with these two clowns and summoned the Doomsday Mall.

"Xiao Guang, help me exchange for two supply vending machines."

A massive light screen hung in the air, and a unique electronic voice made a cool entrance.

"Certainly, Master. Please confirm if you wish to consume two thousand first-level crystal cores to exchange for two supply vending machines?"

There seemed to be a faint hint of anticipation in the voice.

Xiao Guang: Nonsense, besides upgrades, this was the first time it had sold such a large order.

Qi Yin clicked confirm without hesitation.

"supply vending machines exchanged successfully, ready for deployment at any time..."

Having settled a major task, Qi Yin didn't forget her main mission for the day. She dove into the castle study and searched the entire room, following the location where Xiao Bai had found the ancient book last time.

After a long while, she felt a bit drained and collapsed from exhaustion.

"How can there be nothing?"

She had wanted to find some records regarding Darkness Power and dark energy, but in such a massive study, aside from the one Xiao Bai found last time, there was absolutely nothing else related.

Did she really have to figure it all out on her own, bit by bit?

Since her rebirth, this was the first time Qi Yin felt so passive.

Perhaps it was because her Supernatural Ability had been very low-level in her previous life, so she never had the chance to meet any big shots, resulting in zero memories of a Supernatural Ability like Darkness Power.

Now, she could only take it one step at a time.

She couldn't help but touch Xiao Sinian's sharp jawline. Too lazy to move elsewhere, Qi Yin leaned against the bedside and dozed off within two minutes.

She didn't notice that the well-defined fingers in her hand twitched slightly...

The next morning, everyone, knowing they had tasks today, got up early and quickly filled their stomachs.

At that moment, Qi Yin and Chen Quan had just pushed the door open and entered.

Lu Jinwen put down the meat bun in her hand and ran over, brushing the snowflakes off Qi Yin's shoulders.

"I haven't seen you two all morning. Where did you go?"

Qi Yin took a sip of hot water and kept them in suspense, saying slowly, "To prepare some things. You'll find out later."

A set of supply vending machines covered an area of three thousand square meters, as large as a big supermarket. Without any compatible transport vehicles, she had to act as the vehicle herself to set the machines down before dawn.

As for the remaining supply delivery pipes and such, she would leave that to Uncle Chen; he would lead a team to build them.

Taking a bite of a meat bun, Qi Yin counted the heads. Aside from Lei Jun's group of four who were out on a mission, everyone else was present.

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Wang, and Yang Zi stay behind to work. The rest of you, come with me to transport supplies."

"You got it!"

Finally having something to do, everyone's enthusiasm was exceptionally high.

Although the construction materials were in her space, she used nearly a hundred large transport vehicles under Xiao Sinian's command to leave the base to avoid raising Ye An's suspicions or causing trouble. The drivers were also Xiao Sinian's men.

With Meng Xichi present, she wasn't afraid of them leaking anything.

Perhaps having anticipated this, Xiao Sinian had left Meng Xichi behind to look after the place.

On the square, the massive convoy was like a long dragon, grand and imposing.

Meng Xichi tossed over a token made of pure gold, which clearly bore the musical note emblem of Xiyin Base. It was likely the passage token Ye An had mentioned yesterday.

Meng Xichi: "Sister Yin, everything is ready. We can set off!"

"Let's go!"

At Qi Yin's command, the roar of engines rose, and one transport vehicle after another left the base under the watchful eyes of countless people.

As soon as they left, Chen Quan took the token Meng Xichi had given him and gathered over a hundred bodyguards. Their attire was identical to those at the Xianhe Mountain villa.

Clearly, they were all Xiao Sinian's people.

Since Wang Tianyu still had to look after the three patients, the task of building the transport pipes fell to Chen Quan and Wen Yang. Having followed Qi Yin for a long time, they had become much more efficient at their work.

When the survivors woke up, they discovered two mysterious, massive "warehouses" had appeared in the base. The "warehouse" doors were not yet open.

On the designated aerial tracks, a specialized glass pipe for food and supplies was being constructed in an orderly fashion...
