Xu Ying scratched her head. "If you go out and find the building materials, how long will it take to build the electric fences?"
Wei Qiyan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. The shortest is one year, and the longest is four to five years. It depends on whether we can find enough workers and engineers. After all, there are superpowered people who don't know how to do it."
The loss of population and talent was inevitable.
Xu Ying thought that it would be more convenient for her to do so. She only needed to move the finished walls over one by one, place them in suitable positions, and then fix them by welding. If the Vermilion Bird Base belonged to her, it would be like a paradise. She could complete it with just a click of her finger. She was omnipotent in her domain.
Thinking of this, Xu Ying suddenly had an idea. That's right, she was already omnipotent in her domain. There was no need to issue that hidden mission to her. In other words, the hidden mission was outside the Peach Blossom Land? However, she didn't have any special abilities. Now that she was out of Peach Blossom Land and at this critical juncture, she was afraid...
"What's wrong?" Wei Qiyan saw her painful and conflicted expression.
"Do you have anyone suitable to be my bodyguard?" Xu Ying asked. "I'll pay you, and I'll exempt your people from rent in the future. You can stay as long as you want." This way, she would be able to go out safely.
Wei Qiyan raised his eyebrows. "Your pay is quite high. Do you think I'm suitable?"
Xu Ying quickly waved her hand. "It's too much of a waste of talent if you are my bodyguard. Refer me a person with defensive talent. No need to fight and I just need to be safe." She couldn't afford to hire a secret level superpower from the Vermilion Bird Base.
"Do you want a man or a woman?" Wei Qiyan asked.
"A woman!" Xu Ying said. After all, she had to protect her. It was inconvenient for the opposite sex.
"Alright, I'll get her to come and find you tomorrow."
Xu Ying immediately laughed and said, "Then be careful when you're out on a mission."
Wei Qiyan looked at her raised face and smiled. He nodded solemnly. "Definitely."
After lunch in the afternoon, Yao Shuang came to Xu Ying with a gloomy face. "Hua Haiyi came to see me again. He wants to see you no matter what. Fortunately, you've been staying in your room these days."
As soon as she finished speaking, the doorbell rang.
Yao Shuang stood up and said, "It must be Hua Haiyi. He probably saw me come in. I'll go get rid of him."
Xu Ying pulled her back. "I'll go. The sooner it's settled, the sooner it'll be peaceful."
Hua Haiyi opened the door and saw her. He was happy for a moment and immediately said, "Xu Ying…"
"Don't play the emotional card with me," Xu Ying interrupted him."
Hua Haiyi swallowed what he had said in Xu Yongzhong's stead. "Your father wants to see you and apologize to you."
"Where?"
Hua Haiyi thought that it would take a long time to convince her, but she agreed, "At your house. Your mother misses you too."
"Tomorrow at four in the afternoon, go and inform them."After saying that, Xu Ying slammed the door with a cold face.
Yao Shuang tactfully bid farewell and closed the door for her.
The next day, the bodyguard that Wei Qiyan had found for her came to her door.
According to the information Wei Qiyan gave her, her name was Zhong Jia, and her superpower was "Corrosion", which was a type of mental superpower. Able to invade the enemy's body and brain, causing temporary confusion and slowing of movement, increasing the retreat and rescue time of teammates. Zhong Jia could even buy a few seconds against that strange mutated zombie.
It was especially in line with Xu Ying's requirements. If she couldn't beat him, she would run away. As long as she had enough time and used the system's teleportation, she would be able to escape back to Peach Blossom Land safely.
Although she was very satisfied, Zhong Jia was not. The first time they met, he gave Xu Ying a show of strength: "Major General Wei arranged for me to come, so I had no choice but to comply. I'll make it clear first. I'll protect you for three months at most. After three months, I'll return to the team. I don't want my ability and time to be wasted here."
"Since you think that coming here is drowning out your talent?" Xu Ying also stopped smiling. "Then go back. I can't afford to hire you." She was about to close the door.
Zhong Jia didn't expect her to be so unyielding and stood rooted to the ground. She had originally wanted to scare this ordinary little girl to calm herself down. She did not expect to be scared by the other party first. If she went back like this, how was she going to answer to Major General Wei? She clung to the door and temporarily gave in. "I'm sorry. I felt a little disappointed and spoke without thinking."
From a respected soldier to a private bodyguard, everyone would feel disappointed.
