Chapter 373 What should I do if I want to be a saint?
In the morning, the cold sunlight of the strange world shone through the car window onto Lu Xiaoli's pretty face.
She slowly opened her eyes, still sleepy, as if she was still immersed in a sweet dream.
After rubbing his extremely aching waist, Lu Xiaoli slowly woke up in the back seat.
Shi Yan, who was concentrating on driving, caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that his wife had finally woken up. He was delighted and quickly parked the car steadily on the side of the road.
Then he quickly got out of the car, opened the back door with a swift movement, and got in excitedly.
"Sister, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? Oh, it's all my fault for being too indulgent last night and making you suffer so much!" Shi Yan said softly with a guilty look on his face.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoli's stomach cooperated and made a "gurgling" sound, as if responding to Shi Yan's question.
Hearing this voice, Shi Yan couldn't help but smile, then reached into his space ring.
There was a flash of light, and a number of carefully prepared delicious dishes appeared before our eyes.
He carefully placed the dishes one by one, and the tempting aroma instantly filled the entire carriage.
Lu Xiaoli sniffed the fragrance in the air and suddenly felt his appetite open.
She leaned against Shi Yan obediently and began to eat with relish.
While chewing the delicious braised pork, he carefully examined a detailed map in his hand.
It turned out that they were only a dozen miles away from the Guangming Base where Mr. Li was.
Shi Yan quietly gazed at the person in his arms. Seeing her docile and cute appearance like a kitten, his heart was filled with pity.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoli would open her mouth and eat whatever food Shi Yan fed her without hesitation. Her innocent look made people want to love her.
After the meal, the atmosphere between the two was warm and sweet.
After eating and drinking, Shi Yan gently helped Lu Xiaoli wipe the oil stains from the corners of her mouth, and then said softly: "Dear sister, let's continue on our journey!"
Lu Xiaoli smiled and nodded. After the two of them packed up the dishes, they set out again on their journey to the Guangming Base.
Not long after, a magnificent gate appeared in their sight.
At the door, several tall and heroic young men were standing upright, as motionless as sculptures.
Old Mr. Li, with white hair and wrinkles on his face, was trembling as he leaned on a slightly worn cane. He stood up with difficulty, squinted his eyes, and looked into the distance.
What he looked into the distance was a world that had been eroded beyond recognition by a strange force.
The once fertile land now exuded a sickening stench, as if it had been dead for a long time;
The animals and plants that were once full of vitality are now lifeless, lying on the ground in all directions, as if telling the world about the misfortunes and disasters they have encountered.
As Mr. Li looked at the tragic scene, his eyes gradually became moist and tears slid down his cheeks uncontrollably.
His lips trembled slightly, his voice choked and low, as he muttered to himself like a candle in the wind: "This... this is simply a disaster for mankind!"
Just then, a low engine roar came from not far away.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a domineering and cool off-road vehicle slowly driving towards the base.
The off-road vehicle has tough and smooth body lines, the black paint shines with a mysterious light, and the huge tires seem to be able to crush all obstacles.
Its appearance was like a flash of lightning that broke through the depressing and dull atmosphere.
Upon seeing this, the personnel responsible for guarding the base immediately became nervous, gripped their weapons tightly, and were ready for battle.
You know, in this world shrouded in weirdness, those who can still use vehicles normally are basically those who possess weird abilities.
Faced with unknown dangers, they dare not be careless and must respond with caution.
The car window slowly rolled down, and a young and charming figure poked her head out from the passenger seat.
This person was Lu Xiaoli. She smiled, waved at the guards, and shouted:
"Don't be nervous, I'm Lu Xiaoli. I made an appointment with your Mr. Li to come here today!"
Hearing this, the guards looked at each other but did not let down their guard.
One of the guards said expressionlessly, "Please wait a moment, we need to inform them first." Then he turned and walked quickly into the base.
About a minute later, the gate of the base began to slowly open.
As the heavy iron gate gradually opened, Lu Xiaoli drove the off-road vehicle into the base.
In an instant, the originally quiet base became lively.
People living in the nearby air-raid shelter rushed out and gathered around curiously, their eyes fixed on the extremely cool off-road vehicle.
In the past, such cars could be seen everywhere on the streets and would not attract much attention.
However, in this weird world today, it is really novel and rare to see such a complete and handsome car.
A middle-aged man of medium build and a slightly weathered face strode over, a warm yet steady smile on his face. He extended his right hand and introduced himself:
"I'm Li Jianguo, the deputy commander of Guangming Base. I'm very happy to welcome you all here!
Come on, it's windy outside, let's go inside and talk in detail!"
After saying that, he led everyone towards a cave not far away.
Along the way, Lu Xiaoli's attention was attracted by the surrounding scenery.
On both sides of the road, there were many old people and children walking slowly and unsteadily.
They were all emaciated, as if only a thin layer of skin covered their bones. Their appearance made people feel pity.
Lu Xiaoli's heart tightened, and an indescribable feeling of discomfort surged into his heart.
She had originally traveled to this world with the system's son to carry out a specific mission.
According to the original plan, she could choose to save the world or completely ignore it. As long as she successfully completed the task, she could return to her original world.
However, the living people in front of her at this moment, especially the elderly and children who were so thin that they looked unrecognizable, made it impossible for her to remain indifferent and watch coldly.
Although Lu Xiaoli always thought that she was a somewhat selfish person, her soft heart was finally touched by such a tragic scene.
After some inner struggle and thinking, she finally made up her mind that this time, she would be a "Saint Mary" and do her best to help these poor people.
As the saying goes, "Just do good things and don't worry about the future." She believes that good deeds will always bring good rewards.
