After rebirth in the end of the world, I cut off all love and hoarded goods desperately

Jian Ye was sitting on the sofa in the guest room. When he heard his subordinate's reply, his expression inevitably became solemn. He asked, "In your opinion, what kind of person is the head of the Li family base?"

The subordinate who brought the letter back looked at his boss's face and then lowered his head and replied: "Although this Base Commander Li has been rejecting us, he has not made things too difficult. When I first arrived, it was too cold, and he specially prepared hot water for me to keep warm. I feel that although he has a temper, he is not the kind of person who bullies others and makes trouble unreasonably."

Jian Ye's head was already hurting a little. It seemed that he had done something wrong this time. He should not have mentioned Xiao Yi specifically, which might have aroused the other party's disgust.

Speaking of inviting Xiao Yi over, he naturally had some little ideas in mind. Their base was not as powerful as others, and now there were many big bases that wanted to forcefully lure them to join.

But Jian Ye also didn't want to be a soft persimmon, so he naturally had to find ways to find various connections to give himself a buffer. Even if he wanted to join a certain side, he had to wait until they understood the situation clearly before considering it.

He had already invited Xiao Yi a long time ago, just because he wanted to learn about the bases of various bosses from Xiao Yi. If he had to find a backer, he naturally had to find a reliable one.

As for Base Captain Li, he was also invited because the foreman had reported something wrong. Jian Ye did not think it through at the time and sent someone to invite him.

Firstly, if Captain Li is reasonable, Xiao Yi is just a middleman. Secondly, if he is difficult to talk to, Xiao Yi is the one who keeps the peace.

Unfortunately, it seems that his plan has backfired. Jian Ye rubbed his brows and said, "Have someone keep an eye on the foreman. I will interrogate him after dinner."

The man had an honest face and each progress report he sent was quite detailed. Jian Ye had no doubts at the time because he had indeed met many arrogant and disrespectful representatives of the head base.

Now, after hearing the reply from his men, he vaguely felt that he might have been deceived.

Seeing that it was almost time, Jian Ye put on his coat, tidied his appearance, and walked downstairs. Even if the man named Li didn't come, he still wanted to treat Xiao Yi to a banquet.

Although he and Xiao Yi have known each other for several years, they have not seen each other for many years. Due to personnel changes, Jian Ye does not dare to be too confident about their past friendship.

Xiao Yi had a lot of things to do and was very busy, but he did not refuse Jian Ye's invitation. It was just that time was very tight, and he had to leave after just one meal and the conversation.

The snow had stopped and it was freezing outside. Jian Ye looked at the time and walked out of the hall to greet Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi had a good habit and would always be on time for what he promised.

Sure enough, after Jian Ye had only walked in the snow for two minutes, a jeep drove over on the road next to her.

Seeing Xiao Yi's car parked and the man getting out of the car, Jian Ye was in a trance for a moment. For a moment, it seemed as if she had returned to the shelter in City N.

At that time, Xiao Yi and his team members were going out on a mission. I don’t know if it was because he had some feelings or for some other reason, but before leaving, Xiao Yi specially looked for him.

They told them that if anything happened to them, the management of the shelter would be taken over by the Jian family immediately.

That is to say, after this mission, Xiao Yi and his team members all disappeared, and there was no news of them. The next time they met was now.

Jian Ye felt a little excited, but not as excited as he showed on the surface. It turned out that after being apart for a long time, the emotions would become unfamiliar.

"Xiao Yi, I'm so happy that you are still alive!" Jian Ye opened her arms excitedly and gave Xiao Yi a bear hug.

Xiao Yi patted his shoulder with his left hand: "You look a lot more mature. It's a good thing that we are all alive."

However, Jian Ye felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Xiao Yi's body under her hug, and his right side seemed a little stiff.

The clothes Xiao Yi was wearing at this time were not too heavy. He was wearing a winter military uniform on the skin and a woolen military coat on the outside. He still looked tall and handsome.

Jian Ye pulled people towards the hall, and the people behind him went to greet the driver who came with Xiao Yi.

After a few words, the two of them regained a lot of affection. After entering the private room, Jian Ye personally took off Xiao Yi's coat. When she touched his right hand wearing a black leather glove, she felt it was cold and hard.

He joked, "Are you reluctant to turn on the air conditioner in your car? I'll have someone bring you a hot water bottle to warm your hands."

Xiao Yi shook his head and lifted up his right sleeve. Jian Ye looked over and saw that it was not human skin or muscles, but a shiny black mechanical structure. The mark of the adapter at the wrist was very obvious.

Jian Ye watched this scene and his hand unconsciously reached out to Xiao Yi's right arm. It was very hard. He moved his hand to his upper arm with some disbelief. Xiao Yi stretched out his left hand and took his hand away.

"It's not without benefits to have all of them gone. I'm not afraid of the cold or pain. If it weren't for the need to apply for materials, I would have wanted to do a complete body makeover." Xiao Yi joked with Jian Ye.

Jian Ye was stunned, and after a moment she agreed and sat down: "Yes, I have always thought that this kind of transformation is very cool. Let's compete with each other sometime. Let me see if you have become more powerful."

Xiao Yi didn't give Jian Ye much face this time: "If there's a chance, you can fight with my men first, and then challenge me after you beat them."

Jian Ye pointed at Xiao Yi: "You are as crazy as ever!"

After today's dishes were served and all the waiters left, Xiao Yi took out a booklet from his pocket and placed it in front of Jian Ye's desk.

"This is the distribution of forces in each base in the safe zone, as well as the boss's introduction. You just arrived here not long ago, and you need this thing."

Jian Ye placed her hand on the booklet: "Can't we not get involved with these forces?"

Xiao Yi looked at the mist rising from the pot and said, "Okay, as long as you are strong enough, no one can force you."

Jian Ye sighed, "There is no escape from conflict anywhere. Don't the people above care about the things happening in the safe zone? If the people below are powerful, the people above will be wary."

Xiao Yi glanced at Jian Ye and said, "The higher-ups are not afraid of these people's power, but they won't be like a nanny, judging you and mediating everything for you."

Jian Ye took note of these words, but he hadn't figured it out yet. He wanted to wait until he got back to talk with his father-in-law and study the deeper meaning behind them.

The soup in the hot pot boiled, and Jian Ye asked Xiao Yi to start eating. He noticed that Xiao Yi still used his right hand to eat, but at the same time his left hand seemed to be much more flexible than before.

They were almost done eating, and Jian Ye knew that Xiao Yi was pressed for time, so she didn't waste any more time and told him about the conflict between her family and the neighbor's, hoping to ask Xiao Yi for some advice.

After hearing his story, Xiao Yi thought for only a second before saying, "It's not appropriate for me to intervene in this matter. As far as I know, although the Li family base has a tough style, they have always been a principle of not offending others unless they offend me. You are inferior to others in strength, and I think the best solution is to bow your head when you should. You should know that there are many people and many things that cannot be dealt with by reason, but by strength."

Jian Ye smiled bitterly: "I was confused this time. I was wrong from the beginning."

Xiao Yi did not respond. He and Jian Ye did have some friendship, but he had already given all the help he could. The rest depended on his choice. He would not get too involved in other matters.

Jian Ye understood what Xiao Yi meant. He knew that Xiao Yi had given him enough face: "Okay, I understand. I will go there in person to apologize tomorrow. I hope to resolve this matter as soon as possible."
