Once everything was arranged, Yang Wei’s convoy was ready to leave. Bai Meiyue naturally did not stop them, so when Yang Wei’s convoy asked the gates to be opened, the guards at the watchtower naturally agreed. They opened the gates and let the convoy pass through them. Bai Meiyue was very particular about keeping the surroundings of the safe base clean, so many of the ability users were given the task of cleaning the safe base.
Thus, there were absolutely no mutated bugs around the safe base at the moment.
Yang Wei’s convoy was able to pass through the path built in front of the safe base with ease. It was not until they travelled past more than two kilometres that they ran into a wave of mutated bugs. Fortunately, Xiao Chenye and the rest were following Yang Wei. With these ability users taking care of her and protecting her, it did not take long for them to clear out the entire path in front of them.
With Yang Wei taking care of everything, the rest of the convoy simply needed to follow the main convoy and nothing else.
"Why are you all staying here? It is better to leave before the mutated bugs come to ruin this safe base!"
Someone in the crowd deliberately shouted before leaving. No one knew whether they did it because they wanted to sow discord or because they truly wanted to disgust Bai Meiyue.
Bai Meiyue sighed. She did not want to dirty her hands; since these people were leaving, she might as well get rid of all the trash that had been accumulating in her safe base for a while now. Anyway, those who had eyes on their face would be able to see that she had been taking care of this safe base better than anyone else. Forget about mutated bugs; nothing could even come to the safe base as long as she had the barter system with her.
"Are you going to let these people leave just like that? You are not the kind of person who would swallow an insult like this?" Xie Jinyue asked as she walked over to where Bai Meiyue was standing.
"What else do you want to do? Ask them to stay? Or make them submit to me even when they are unwilling? If they want to leave, then naturally I will not make them serve me. Anyway, I do not lack people who are loyal to me."
Bai Meiyue had no intention of forcing these people. They were not hers to begin with, so why would she even bother to keep them under her safe base? Anyway, she was not the kind of person who believed that strength was numbers. If anything, she was quite relieved that these people had left; it would lift some pressure off the ability users who were responsible for rations. What’s more, these people did not do anything. They often tried to skive off. As for their duties, they did them begrudgingly. Keeping such people would only hurt her in the long run.
"Then are you not worried that these people would cause trouble in the future?" Xie Jinyue asked while following her.
"No. I am just worried that they would return."
