Chapter 234: Shameless
Seeing Wu Lian lost in thought, the soldier asked hesitantly, "Captain, what is your order?" Wu Lian came out of his thoughts and said, "Let's go back."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Yes, Captain."
With the order, the soldiers quickly boarded the truck. Before leaving, Wu Lian wrote a message on a collapsed wall beside the water tanks with a stone. When he was done, he tossed the stone aside and smirked.
After they left, Yao Ran and Long Yu came out of their hiding spot. They went to the back area to check on the water tanks. When they arrived, they saw a message on the wall.
[Please refill these water tanks. We will return tomorrow night at the same time to collect the water. Thank you for your donation to the army.]
Seeing the message, Long Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Shameless."
Yao Ran chuckled and nodded, "He certainly is shameless."
After refilling the water tanks with diluted lake water, Yao Ran picked up a stone and left a reply for Wu Lian. Dusting her hands, she smiled at Long Yu, "Let's go home."
Long Yu took her hand, and they returned to the Ling Yuan apartment complex.
Three hours later, Wu Lian returned with his team and the water tankers. Spotting the new message on the wall, he chuckled.
"Fill up the water tankers." He ordered.
"Yes, Captain."
The next day, when they went to fill the water tanks in the abandoned area, they discovered that Wu Lian had come back to collect more water after they had left last night.
Yao Ran and Long Yu discussed it for a moment and decided to wait for Wu Lian to make his second trip before refilling the water tanks again.
For ten consecutive days, Yao Ran and Long Yu went to the abandoned area to refill the water tanks three times every night. Each night, after returning home, Yao Ran practiced her water and wood element abilities until sunrise before going to sleep.
On the eleventh day, Xiao Yan visited them after sunset.
When Xiao Yan saw them come down, he smiled and said, "Good evening, Miss Yao, Brother Long. Brother Yuan said that what you wanted is ready."
Yao Ran's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she replied, "Please lead the way."
With Xiao Yan leading the way, they walked to a nearby neighborhood. Yao Ran noticed that this community was once a high-end residential area where only wealthy families or people with powerful connections could afford to live.
Xiao Yan looked back at Yao Ran and Long Yu and explained, "Our boss spent a lot of resources to get a few villas in this area. Now, most of our brothers live here with the boss and Brother Yuan. Security in the area is also very good."
He lowered his voice and added, "Brother Yuan said the military is planning to build a base, and this community is within the planned area. He also mentioned that we should try to live close to the base so that when the wall is built, we won't have to pay and can live inside the base directly."
When they heard what Xiao Yan said, Long Yu and Yao Ran were impressed by Ling Yi's foresight. Indeed, the most successful people often could spot opportunities before anyone
else.
Arriving at the villa entrance, they were stopped by the guarding soldiers.
Xiao Yan took out a card, handed it to a soldier, and said, "I live here with my brothers. These two are my brother's guests."
The soldier examined the card briefly before returning it to Xiao Yan, then opened the metal gate and allowed them to get in.
