Eye of the Wasteland

Chapter 182 Men and Women at Night (Part [-])
After eating a sumptuous meal, many Wasteland Ranger members chatted enthusiastically at the dinner table.

The change of the Xinshan Village stronghold is a very happy thing for every team member.

All of them who wandered the wasteland for a long time did not yearn for a warm and comfortable home, even if the home was small and dilapidated, it didn't matter.

Today, everyone's dreams are coming true as the entire stronghold is being built little by little.

When it was late at night, Chen Xiaojia asked everyone who hadn't fully enjoyed themselves to help clean up the dishes, so as not to let the homeless people in the kitchen wait too late.

When leaving the conference hall, Chen Xiaojia stopped Wu Yunhao who was about to return to his home.

"Hey, Wu Yunhao, I... I seem to be a bit full, why don't you go for a walk with me?"

Hearing Chen Xiaojia's words, Wu Yunhao glanced at Chen Xiaojia curiously, then nodded with a smile.

Next, Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia walked on the road to the Xinshan Village stronghold shrouded in night.

Under the leadership of Cao Cheng'an, the cartoon and animation wall paintings on the exterior walls of each building can make the atmosphere in the entire stronghold relaxed even at night, and it is no longer depressing and dull at night.

The homeless who had been busy all day sat in front of those small courtyards with their wives and neighbors, laughing and chatting about recent events and interesting rumors in the wasteland, laughing and exclaiming from time to time.

Their children gathered together and played in the streets and alleys. From time to time, some children might cry helplessly because they played too much.

Seeing Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia passing by, the homeless people smiled and greeted them, and at the same time talked about the pair of young men and women walking side by side with a smile that everyone understood.

It was this kind of atmosphere that made Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia walk on the road of Xinshan Village, but they didn't know what to say after walking for a long time.

In the end, it was Chen Xiaojia who broke the silence between the two, and said to Wu Yunhao, "Wu Yunhao, you are really a miraculous person."

Chen Xiaojia's words immediately made Wu Yunhao look at her curiously, but Wu Yunhao didn't say anything, just waiting for Chen Xiaojia to continue talking.

And Chen Xiaojia probably also knew that Wu Yunhao would not say anything, so he continued talking.

"It took half a year at most for Wasteland Ranger to meet you. In half a year, we rebuilt the Xinshan Village stronghold and expanded our team."

"Even now, with the support of City Lord Feng, we are still stationed in the outer city and help City Lord Feng manage the outer city of Fuyuan City. Are we considered wasteland nobles now?"

"If this was changed in the past, whoever told me that Wasteland Ranger could achieve such an achievement within half a year, I would definitely think that something is wrong with this guy's head."

"But the changes you have brought to the entire Wasteland Ranger in just half a year have surpassed everything that the Wasteland Ranger has established in the four years since its establishment."

Seeing Chen Xiaojia's exclamation again, Wu Yunhao smiled and replied: "Captain, I remember that we have already discussed this issue before."

"The achievements of Wasteland Ranger have never been achieved by me alone. Without everyone, no matter how strong I am alone, I can't do it all."

For Wu Yunhao's answer, Chen Xiaojia, who didn't feel any surprise at all, replied with a smile: "I knew you would say this, so I said you are strange."

"If it was an ordinary person, he would brazenly claim all the credit for himself, and at the same time try to take my place as the leader of the Wasteland Rangers."

"And you are still an awakener, and you are the absolute main force among wasteland rangers. In fact, if you really do this, no one will say anything."

"But you have always been like this, plain and ordinary, and it seems that you have not changed any of us because you are an awakened person."

Wu Yunhao didn't seem to be able to understand Chen Xiaojia's doubts, so he asked her back: "Why should I change you because of my identity as an awakened person?"

Chen Xiaojia thought for a while, then smiled and replied: "Maybe it's because those wasteland nobles always look superior everywhere?"

"When you have the same strength as them but you don't, this kind of out of place behavior will make people feel confused?"

Regarding this, Wu Yunhao chuckled lightly and said, "Because those nobles from the waste land played the medieval game, a person like me seems very strange. What's the reason for that?"

"I remember that in the age of civilization five years ago, everyone was taught that everyone is equal. In just five years, it has become that these wasteland nobles should be allowed to do whatever they want?"

With a helpless sigh, Chen Xiaojia replied: "Wu Yunhao, I know you are kind and have a sense of justice, but it is already the wasteland era."

"No matter how much we miss the prosperous and carefree civilized era, we must now face this cruel and bloody wasteland era."

And Wu Yunhao obviously didn't agree with Chen Xiaojia's words, so he said: "However, I believe that the most basic morality and quality of human beings should not be annihilated because of the harsh living environment."

"Maybe I can't change the status quo of the entire wasteland by myself, but I think I can at least help the wasteland ranger and Xinshan Village stronghold have a better tomorrow."

"Even if it may just be to shelter some homeless people who have nowhere to go on the wasteland, build some warm houses for the stronghold, or get more supplies for everyone."

"Even if we just do a little bit every day, we can take one step closer to our dreams."

Shaking her head lightly, Chen Xiaojia said with a smile: "I have to say, people like you are really scary."

But then, Chen Xiaojia smiled and continued: "But in such a cruel era, people like you will be respected and loved by everyone."

"When people stay in the darkness for a long time, they will naturally adapt to all the influences brought by the darkness, but when the light appears in the darkness, everyone will yearn for the light."

"Even if the light is faint, it is still light. Just like the old saying goes, the reason why I can endure the darkness is because I have never seen the light."

Just as Chen Xiaojia uttered this famous poetic aphorism, a slightly chilly night wind came from afar.

Feeling the chill of the night wind, Chen Xiaojia couldn't help hugging her arms.

Just the next moment, she felt someone put a coat on her, and then Chen Xiaojia turned her head to see Wu Yunhao put the coat on her shoulders.

"It's getting colder, it's starting to cool down."

"Yeah, the cruel and hard winter is coming again."
