NOVEL WEB Chapter 399: Unexpected Guest ( 3 )
After a moment of pause, the soldier handed her water bottle back and added, "If you are a temporary resident, you can exchange a crystal core for twenty points. If you are a permanent resident, you can earn points by doing missions or working for the base."
"Thank you for the information, Comrade," Pei Yixie said and took her water bottle.
"You are welcome," the soldier nodded and walked to the next survivor.
Fifteen minutes later, it was finally her turn. When the staff saw her, she smiled and asked, "Hello, Comrade. Did you come to the Lin'an City Base for a visit or to stay here permanently?"
Pei Yixie thought for a moment and replied, "I came to visit my brother."
The staff nodded and asked her several questions about her information and recorded them in the folder.
When she was done, she handed her a card made of wood and said, "This is your visitor ID card. Please keep it safe, as you will have to pay 25 crystal cores if you lose it."
"Also, you can use this card as your point card to do some transactions inside the base. If you lose the card, we won't be responsible for returning your points. As for the rules and regulations of this base, you can read them on the notice board in the central park and mission hall."
Pei Yixie nodded and accepted the wooden card. Just after she walked past the gate, she saw two men walking toward her. She only glanced at them and continued walking forward.
As she walked past them, Zhang Yuan rubbed his chin and said, "Old Qin, why does she look more like Pei Yijun than our Captain?"
"She should be Pei Yijun's sister," Qin Luzi replied.
He checked the map in his mind and frowned. The dot representing Pei Yixie was in a cyan color—a mix between blue and green. But the proportion of blue was larger.
After a moment, he said, "Rather than guessing blindly, we can just ask her directly."
When he finished speaking, he chased after Pei Yixie in large strides. A few minutes later, he stood in front of her and said, "Comrade, we're from the Phantom Team. We received information that you're looking for our Captain."
Hearing this, Pei Yixie stopped in her tracks and looked at him. After a moment of pause, she asked, "Did my brother send you to find me?"
Zhang Yuan let out a chuckle when he heard her words and said, "Comrade, our Captain is an orphan. It's impossible for him to have a sister. Based on your information, you should be the daughter of the Pei family, who is also Pei Yijun's sister."
Noticing his unfriendly tone, Pei Yixie said, "Whether I'm Jin Xuyan's sister or not, it's not your place to judge. Where is my brother? I want to see him."
"Captain is on a mission. You can come with us first," Qin Luzi said.
Pei Yixie thought for a moment before she nodded and said, "Okay."
The three of them walked to the roadside, and Zhang Yuan unlocked his car. After he took the driver's seat, Qin Luzi sat in the passenger seat. He buckled his seatbelt, glanced at Pei Yixie, and said, "Come up."
Looking at the SUV, Pei Yixie opened the door and climbed into the back seat. The car left the entrance area and drove toward the central ring. Since they went to the residential area, they didn't have to undergo another inspection.
Twenty minutes later, they reached the Phantom Team residence. After parking the car, Zhang Yuan said, "You'll stay here for now."
Pei Yixie got out of the car and stood outside the gate. She raised her head to look at the high wall surrounding the house.
The next moment, the gate opened, and Xiao Qi came out, saying, "Vice Captain, Brother Qin, you are back."
After saying this, he observed the unfamiliar person and asked, "Is this the one claiming to be the Captain's sister?"
Pei Yixie looked at him and said, "Hello, my name is Pei Yixie."
"Let's talk inside," Zhang Yuan said as he walked into the house.
After they entered the yard, Xiao Qi locked the gate and followed them into the living room. The moment Pei Yixie entered, she saw a large group of people inside.
She glanced at them and noticed that there were only two female team members, but there were a total of nine children there. The rest of the members were male.
Standing in front of them, Zhang Yuan said, "Everyone, this is Pei Yixie. She came to visit our Captain and will stay here with us until our Captain is back."
Hearing this, the members exchanged glances. Since the house had limited rooms, one room was shared by the children, one by the women, and the rest by the men.
With her staying with them, Jiang Lixin said, "Sister Pei, my name is Jiang Lixin. You can call me Sister Jiang. We have limited rooms, so you'll have to share a room with me and Mo'er."
Pei Yixie nodded at her and said, "Thank you, Sister Jiang."
Seeing that her clothes were dirty and smelled like zombies, Gu Shaoze said, "Sister Pei, you should take a bath and change your clothes first. We have a water-type ability-user, so you can use the water freely."
When she heard this, Pei Yixie didn't refuse and said, "Okay."
Rong Mo'er stood up and said, "Sister, let's go to our room. I have extra clothes. You can use mine first."
"Thank you, but I have my own," Pei Yixie replied.
Hearing this, Rong Mo'er looked at her and asked, "Sister, you didn't bring anything with you. Are you a space-type ability-user?"
Pei Yixie nodded and opened her palm. The next moment, a set of clean clothes appeared on her palm. When she clenched her fist, the clothes disappeared.
"Okay then," Rong Mo'er nodded and led her to their room on the first floor.
