Chapter 72 - 72

Chapter 72: Su Xiaoyu is cannon fodder in the book, how come she's here?Tang Xin realized that it's good to be rich; if there hadn't been a natural disaster, a house in this neighborhood would probably be worth millions.Before she transmigrated, she was just an ordinary working person, the kind who wasn't loved by her parents and only earned a few thousand yuan a month, barely making ends meet.Sometimes I have to eat instant noodles when I'm broke at the end of the month. When have I ever seen such a nice house?The windows in the hallway were always closed, so the hallway wasn't particularly dirty.There were three households in total, and they tried to push two of them but couldn't get them open.When they reached the third household, they opened the door.The room was a mess, and the decor was the most basic kind, with only the floorboards painted white.The only furniture was a sofa and a coffee table, and there was a bed in the room.Tang Xin opened the closet and saw that there were still clothes inside, but they had been rummaged through and were in a mess. The person must have left in a great hurry, as several bags were left behind.It had no wear and tear and looked brand new. I couldn't resist picking it up and trying it on; it actually looked quite nice.Qi Tianyu didn't like the house. He went to the kitchen and saw that there was nothing to eat, and even the gas cylinder was almost empty.The pots and pans were all there, piled up messily in the sink, emitting an unpleasant smell, and some of them were even covered in green mold.How can we live if there's no water when we turn on the tap?At least there is water inside the base; when the villas were built, wells were dug in front of several villas.Tang Xin came to the kitchen and saw Qi Tianyustanding by the sink, lost in thought."What's wrong?""Without water and electricity, how are we supposed to survive?" Qi Tianyu felt lost for the first time. When the natural disaster struck, he had already been working with Qin Ling and had a large group of people under his command.He never actively sought out water or food; he only needed to give orders. He actually had a group of men under his command, but many died in an accident, and the survivors were no longer loyal to him. They gradually drifted apart, to the point that no one came with him this time."There's always a way out. We have a place to stay now, don't we? Besides, Brother Gu doesn't seem like an unreasonable person. If we ask him for help, maybe he'll help us!"Qi Tianyu: "Forget it! I just said all the nice things he wanted to say, and he told us to fend for ourselves. If I go to him again, there won't be any more goodwill between us."He's occupying my house! I'll definitely tell my older brother about this later and have a serious talk with him!"By the way, what's his surname, Gu, and what's his given name?" Tang Xin didn't remember such an outstanding person in the book. Could he also be a time traveler who had been reborn? With a plan in mind, she wanted to find out.Qi Tianyu, " Gu Lingxiao, I think that's his name. He's the eldest son of the Gu family, but because his parents died early, he went abroad to study at a young age. He only returned here in the last few years. I heard he's quite successful in the legal profession; he's never lost a case."My older brother contacted him back then for future career development, and I met with him a few times. It's normal that he didn't help me, since we barely spoke.Tang Xin searched his memory and remembered that when he was halfway through the novel, he had heard someone mention Gu Lingxiao, saying that she led a group of people to form her own small team and did not belong to any base.Many bases tried to win them over, but all failed.The book describes him as a brave and resourceful man. He doesn't appear in the story; he's only mentioned briefly when the main character is being written about.It's not time for them to really make their appearance yet...The boy beside him had a full head of silver hair and an androgynous face. Who was this person?"Do you know that silver-haired boy next to him?"Qi Tianyu's heart stirred with excitement at the thought of that face. "How do you know he's a man if you've never seen him? His hair is down to his ears; he might be a girl!"Silver-haired girl!Tang Xin found the name that matched the description in his mind.Su Xiaoyu, a cannon fodder character who didn't survive past chapter 20.Then I realized that I hadn't seen this person at the base.cause.Su Xiaoyu is blind, but quite good-looking. She came to the base with people from the orphanage.A girl named Lin Xiuxiu always protected him, and since he didn't speak, everyone thought he was a man and that they were a couple.In her attempt to find food for him, Lin Xiuxiuwas captured and sent to Qinling. Her fate was predictable; she eventually became a plaything for several team leaders.Su Xiaoyu froze to death. After she died, it was like a camel being crushed by the last straw.Lin Xiuxiu, clutching her body, jumped from the top floor of the four-story villa, dying instantly as she landed headfirst.Later, someone went to strip them of their clothes to keep them, and that's when they discovered that Su Xiaoyu was a woman.Tang Xin could tell that Qi Tianyu had feelings for Su Xiaoyu; his eyes betrayed everything.So Su Xiaoyu is a woman, but she can't say it out loud. If she does, it will only make him more obsessed with her. He'll be secretly thinking about how to get rid of her. A woman who's targeted by the male lead will either be the female lead or a supporting female character in the future, but she's destined to be the female lead. In her heart, a man can only have one woman."I think they have a good relationship. If we are able to survive, we shouldn't associate with them. Every bit of goodwill we have is precious.""I know even if you don't say it." Qi Tianyu felt she was being too dramatic. What time is it now? It's good enough to have a place to stay.The group that stayed at the base consisted of dozens or even hundreds of people living together, where the smell was unbearable and they couldn't even get enough to eat.So now that I have a place to stay, I need to find something to eat. After figuring everything out, I cheered myself up.Gu Lingxiao locked the door on the tenth floor before going downstairs with Su Xiaoyu.After leaving the residential area, there was hardly anyone around.Su Xiaoyu then said, "We should chase them away."Gu Lingxiao said, "Even without them, other people would come and live here. If they don't cause trouble, let them stay there!"Su Xiaoyu nodded, "Then I'll do as you say."Gu Lingxiao thought her younger brother was so well-behaved, and couldn't help but pat his head."Let's go out and see what's happened outside."Su Xiaoyu saw people moving around at the end of the road."Look over there, they should be cleaning up the bodies."Gu Lingxiao said, "This is the main urban area. If it is not cleaned up, it will become an epidemic area when the weather warms up.""If I were the leader, I would also arrange how to do it."Su Xiaoyu, "Have you ever thought about setting up your own base?"Gu Lingxiao shook her head, "I don't have that plan for the time being. Although we have enough supplies, I don't want to worry about so many people. As long as our team of a dozen or so people can eat and drink their fill, that's enough."The more people there are, the more problems arise, and eventually people's hearts will change. If the current leaders can quickly gather those who have been displaced back to their homes, it will be a good thing for them as well.
