The Pitiful Girl She Picked Up Turned Out to Be a Cruel and Vicious Beauty Chapter 49 : It’s bit weird

It’s bit weird (v1c49)

The rcenaries were silent for a mont as they saw the familiar water ripples appear. Then the bearded man spoke up, his coarse face red with anger and his eyes wide like a child-eating monster. He shouted, "You little girl, why didn't you tell you couldn't get out earlier?"

He had wasted so much ti thinking about it!

It was humiliating to be exposed in front of the deputy leader...

"You never asked!"

Ye Sheng shrugged off the bearded man's accusation with a nonchalant gesture.

Luckily, she could choose from multiple modes of the iron gate prop, and she had set it to a mode that prevented her from leaving the safe area beforehand. That way, the water ripples would show up in mid-air.

It was convenient for proving her innocence and clearing up any suspicions.

So, now she was just an ordinary little girl in the relaxation area.

What else could she know?

(^_−)☆

However, Ye Sheng had initially thought that the worst outco would be for the cunning deputy leader to take her away for interrogation... but to her surprise, he wanted to give her a physical examination.

How strange?

Did he think that the protective effect of the iron gate was triggered by her physique?

Wake up, this was the apocalyptic wasteland, there were no superpowers here!

While Ye Sheng was silently complaining in her heart, she didn't know that deputy captain Xu Li really believed that. Although the wasteland world didn't have any superpowers of gold, wood, water, earth, or fire, it did have so very special psychic superpowers.

You could kill people invisibly with just your mind.

You could also perfectly absorb & energy and achieve energy circulation in your body instead of letting the absorbed energy escape.

However, very few people had this special ability, so it was kept secret.

Even if you were lucky enough to find soone with superpowers, the psychic superpowers would affect your brain, leading to ntal instability.

Most of them would end up killing themselves.

Except for the Gu family's Erensu...

She was the only person who had survived the longest in the base so far and didn't have any suicidal thoughts... If her behavior wasn't too extre and the base could control her, she could have beco the strongest person in the base in the future.

Unfortunately, powerful abilities brought endless troubles and had to be suppressed.

They didn't kill her right away, but they also didn't let her grow stronger.

After all, a vicious dog without a leash would bite people.

To ensure the safety of the base, Erensu couldn't be allowed to escape their control... Unfortunately, the Gu family was too wary of Erensu's abilities and secretly tried to kill her.

Then they tried to hide the news and use Erensu's na to gain benefits for their family.

It was a pity that Erensu went mad every day, and now there was no sign of her for several days. No matter how hard the Gu family tried to conceal it, it was useless.

They were discovered.

Although the Gu family insisted that Erensu had escaped, according to the investigation, Erensu, whose bones were broken and tendons were severed, couldn't have survived at all.

They couldn't tell which corner she had died in.

There was one less strong person in the base who could fight against the powerful polluted creatures, which would cause an imasurable loss to the security of the base.

Therefore, to punish them, the base officials reduced the Gu family's influence in the base, as well as so of their benefits, etc., leaving the Gu family dissatisfied but powerless!

‘I wonder if the Gu family regretted attacking Erensu?’

However, thanks to the hope brought by Erensu, the base began to secretly search for people with psychic abilities and prepare to nurture them carefully.

Perhaps they could raise a second Erensu.

When deputy captain Xu Li heard the abnormal report from his subordinates, he didn't pay much attention at first.

There were all kinds of strange polluted creatures in the wilderness. Perhaps their sll confused humans and made them hallucinate, just like drinking fake wine, creating a 'barrier' that prevented them from moving forward.

Therefore, he couldn't imdiately judge the truth or falsehood of the bearded man's report.

But when he heard the bearded man's claim and saw a little girl ignoring the barrier, the situation changed, and Xu Li rushed over.

He wanted to find out.

This little girl might have psychic powers!

Later, Xu Li saw the calm Ye Sheng standing alone in front of the rat hole, and he felt excited. He thought there was a great chance of discovering soone with psychic powers, so he suggested taking Ye Sheng to the hospital for a check-up.

In fact, he wanted to detect whether her gene had mutated!

But as he listened to the conversation between the bearded man and Ye Sheng, veins popped up on his forehead.

He had made a big mistake!

"Wait a minute, you little girl, you have a problem. If you have nothing to worry about, why were you so nervous just now?"

The bearded man was choked by Ye Sheng's words, but he quickly recovered.

He was referring to the changing expression on Ye Sheng's face, from puzzled to enlightened, and finally anxious... She must be hiding sothing!

Thinking that he had caught Ye Sheng's lie, the bearded man's beard almost stood up with pride.

But Ye Sheng didn't panic at all. She curled her lips and replied confidently, "Of course there is sothing important that I can't let others know!"

"I knew there was sothing fishy!"

The burly man with the beard insisted on pressing her, while deputy leader Xu Li frowned, wondering if this little girl was being secretive and deliberately concealing her ntal powers?

But the next mont, Xu Li realized he was overthinking.

Ye Sheng glanced at Xu Li first, and then spoke reluctantly, "I wasn't going to say it, but since the deputy captain looks like a good person, he will surely protect . It doesn't hurt to tell you now."

"The reason why I'm nervous... is because I found the potatoes stored in the cave by the porcupine rats, and I'm afraid you will snatch them from ."

"..."

The rcenary bearded man was speechless!

That was it?

There was no need to hide it, they wouldn't compete with a child for potatoes!

Seeing the bearded man's expression, Ye Sheng imdiately beca angry and stressed, "There are a lot of potatoes in the rat hole, all of them are edible mutated plants. Two trucks can't even fit them!"

As soon as these words ca out, everyone present looked over and were shocked.

So many potatoes?

They were very valuable indeed.

Even if they handed over half of them, there would still be plenty left.

Ever since he saw the barrier blocking Ye Sheng, the deputy leader had given up on the idea of taking her to the hospital for gene testing. At this point, he rolled his eyes and thought that since he was already here, he might as well make so profit.

Although their rcenary group was not small, they consud a lot of food every day, so they couldn't miss the opportunity to stock up.

Therefore, Xu Li stopped talking about the hospital and started talking about business, "Little Girl, since there are so many potatoes in the rat hole and you can't transport them out by yourself, why don't we make a deal?"

“The Azure Phoenix rcenary Group will aid in transporting the potatoes out of the pit. They will split the potatoes into 10% and 90%, with the remainder being delivered directly to your doorstep.”

Ye Sheng was tempted by the deal that Xu Li offered.

But he was asking for too much.

He had the advantage of numbers, and he could easily take over the mouse hole if he wanted to. So why did he want such a large cut of the potatoes? Luckily, she had just called him a good person, so she didn't feel any guilt for bargaining.

Ye Sheng wouldn't let herself be cheated, so she looked at Xu Li with an innocent expression: "Do you an you get one and I get nine?"

"Of course not..."

"Oh, by the way, I just rembered, I also found hundreds of Honeydew Sweet Bug in the rat hole~"

That was her trump card.

Now she had so leverage to negotiate!

As soon as she said that, Ye Sheng took out a jar of salt from her bag and shook it nacingly at Xu Li.

Hehe, a little bit of salt could kill a lot of Honeydew Sweetbug and turn them into a puddle of water!
