Chapter 398: Unexpected Guest ( 2 )
Not long after she turned off the chopper's engine and came out of it, two cars approached her. Seeing the soldiers coming out of the cars, the girl waved her hand and stored the military chopper into her space.
The moment Wen Hanli saw this, his eyes lit up. Their base lacked space-type ability-users. If this girl joined their base, he would be able to speed up their supplies collection project.
With this thought in mind, he took several steps forward and stood five meters from the girl. With a hand behind his back, he smiled at her and said, "Welcome to the Lin'an City Base, Comrade."
The girl nodded at him and said, "I came to look for my brother, Jin Xuyan. Is he in this base?"
The moment they heard this, everyone was taken aback. They never expected that this girl was the sister of the Phantom Team's captain.
While everyone half-believed the girl, Wen Hanli didn't show any reaction at all. He smiled and replied, "May I ask what your name is?"
The girl took out her ID card and showed it to him. This ID card was issued by the government before the apocalypse. Most people no longer carried it with them, so Wen Hanli raised his eyebrows when he checked the ID card.
He read the information for a moment and asked, "Comrade, did you make a mistake?"
"What do you mean?" the girl asked him back.
Wen Hanli returned the ID card to her and said, "Your name is Pei Yixie. You have a different surname from Captain Jin. How can you prove that you are his sister?"
"My face and my blood are the proof," Pei Yixie replied calmly.
Hearing this, Wen Hanli let out a chuckle and said, "Comrade, your face does resemble Captain Jin a little. But you resemble Pei Yijun, the young master of the Pei family, more. If you told me that your brother is Pei Yijun, I would believe you."
Pei Yixie went silent for a moment before she replied, "Pei Yijun is indeed my brother. But Jin Xuyan is also my brother."
Wen Hanli considered the possibility that Jin Xuyan might be the maternal cousin of Pei Yijun and Pei Yixie. To avoid making a mistake, he decided to take this girl back to the base before contacting Jin Xuyan to confirm her claims.
After making up his mind, he nodded and said, "Captain Jin is currently outside doing a mission. You can wait for him at the base first."
When she heard this, Pei Yixie frowned and said, "Is he really staying in this base? If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you."
Wen Hanli met her gaze and replied casually, "It's your choice whether to believe me or not."
After he finished his words, he gestured to the guards, and they returned to the base without bringing her with them.
Standing there, Pei Yixie considered the pros and cons for a while before she decided to wait for her brother in this place. She walked toward the gate and joined the line, waiting for her turn.
Half an hour later, Wen Hanli returned to his office and made a phone call using his satellite phone. Not long after, the call was picked up and Zhang Yuan's voice was heard from the other side. "Hello."
"Vice Captain Zhang, there is someone claiming to be your captain's sister. She is currently lining up at the south gate."
As soon as Wen Hanli finished his words, Zhang Yuan said, "Impossible. My captain is an orphan. Are you sure that this person isn't a scammer?"
Hearing this, Wen Hanli thought for a moment before he replied, "Well, her identity still needs further clarification. But I don't think she is lying."
After a moment of pause, Zhang Yuan finally said, "I will go check the situation personally."
"Okay."
Hanging up the call, Zhang Yuan looked at his team members and said, "Old Qin, you will come with me to the south gate."
Noticing his frown, Qin Luzi asked, "Old Zhang, did something happen?"
Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Someone claimed to be our captain's sister. I'm going to confirm this matter personally."
The moment he said this, the members who were busy crafting weapons and counting crystal cores suddenly stopped what they were doing. They looked at him as if he were crazy.
Meeting their gaze, Zhang Yuan said helplessly, "I didn't believe it either. But we still have to make this trip. Otherwise, if someone is using our captain's name to do bad things, it will be troublesome to clean up the mess."
Since his words made sense, the members nodded, and Xiao Qi said, "Vice Captain, you should give that person a beating later. See if anyone dares to claim a relationship with our captain again."
Zhang Yuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter."
While Zhang Yuan and Qin Luzi were on their way to the south gate, Pei Yixie observed the situation at the base's entrance. A soldier walked over while holding a kettle and asked, "Comrade, do you need some water?"
Pei Yixie was taken aback by his offer and asked, "Comrade, is the water free?"
The soldier nodded and said, "The base provides one liter of drinking water for free every day for everyone."
Hearing this, Pei Yixie took out an empty bottle from her space and asked again, "Comrade, how many people are living in this base? Does your base have enough water and supplies for everyone?"
The soldier smiled and filled her water bottle while replying, "Even if we give one liter of water for free every day, you have to buy your own food. If you want more water, you can also buy it from the base."
Pei Yixie thought for a moment and asked, "How much is it for a liter of water?"
Hearing this, the soldier replied with a smile, "You can buy two liters of water with one point. For food, the price varies depending on the rarity."
