Chapter 356: Chapter 276: Worries_2

"Sheraya Caligula."

"Yes, the target we’re to assassinate is Sheraya Caligula," Wen Huaxin’s gaze sharpened. "He’s the easiest target, and as soon as he dies, Xiao Yi’s team’s strength will be greatly diminished."

Both of them nodded, having no objections to this, but they still had doubts in their minds, and asked:

"But how exactly should we do it? The three of them are always together, can we really kill one and get away unscathed?"

"Don’t worry," Wen Huaxin reassured them. "We don’t have to do it ourselves. I’ll arrange for someone with an ability that can target Sheraya’s, to deal with him and figure out a way to lure him into acting alone. Then we won’t have to worry about the other two interfering."

"Is that... really possible?"

"It’s possible..." Wen Huaxin’s face was full of confidence, "We just need a little time and opportunity."

...

After that, Xiao Yi and his group had been wandering and searching for the Core’s whereabouts. Without realizing it, fifteen days had already passed.

They had chosen a hotel building as their base again—and this time, there were no bombers coming to destroy it, so they had been living there safely up to this point.

"Ughhhhh!"

At this moment, in one of the hotel’s rooms, Fei Ye was emitting an almost wailing sound.

"What’s all the noise?" Xiao Yi immediately looked up at Fei Ye and asked, "What are you doing? Is it that time of the month?"

"No, that hasn’t come... but maybe it will soon," Fei Ye responded.

"So, has it come or not?" As he said this, Xiao Yi couldn’t help but wonder if Fei Ye was going to drop a "thus I have come" on him.

"It hasn’t come, it hasn’t," Fei Ye sighed. "Even if it did, I could take care of it myself. Don’t worry."

"Oh, so what’s up with you then?"

Fei Ye was silent for a moment before finally saying, "I’m hungry."

"...Huh?"

"I’m hungry," Fei Ye repeated.

"I heard you," Xiao Yi said, puzzled. "If you’re hungry, why don’t you just eat? Being hungry means you should eat—it’s that simple. Surely you know that?"

"It’s easy to say, but..." Fei Ye collapsed weakly on the bed, "it’s such a hassle... eating is really such a hassle. Why can’t someone just make it for me and bring it to me."

"Nice wishful thinking," Sheraya, who had been counting Cores on the side, chimed in: "We’re not in a safe zone now. We need to deal with everything on our own. Besides, wasn’t it you who said we should hoard as many Cores as possible? It’s best not to go back to the safe zone."

Fei Ye was silent.

After their recent collection efforts, the true number of Cores that Xiao Yi’s group had was seventeen.

Seventeen... it wasn’t a lot, just as they had expected. The further they went, the fewer people they encountered, and the chances of obtaining Cores decreased, so they were mentally prepared for it.

But fifteen days had passed, and surely many teams had more Cores than they did. Besides, since they didn’t know where those teams were hiding, spending Cores in the safe zone now didn’t seem appropriate.

Fei Ye was aware of this, but the hassles of life still caused her to sigh nonstop.

"Sigh... I really wish we could get back to a life where I have a dedicated chef to cook for me."

In the Ruined City, the food that Xiao Yi and his group could get was limited to canned goods and a bunch of snacks.

They did have fresh meat and vegetables available, but the problem was that none of the three... knew how to cook.

All three had been people of high status on Blue Star; their daily lives were specially managed by the Country, and naturally, none of them could cook.

This was especially true for Sheraya. Since he was raised to be a successor, skills like cooking were of no use to him. He had never even seen a kitchen before entering "Analog Horror," much less understood what the appliances were for.

Xiao Yi, on the other hand, was willing to cook, but having the desire and the ability to do it, and whether the others would let him, was another matter.

In summary, the three of them had been surviving on convenient foods over the period, but as one might expect, they eventually grew tired of it. Hence, Fei Ye was in the contradictory state of being very hungry yet not wanting to eat.

To eat something decent required effort; they had to leave their base and go to a supply point. That was why Fei Ye said it was such a hassle.

Sheraya felt the same way; he had just been enduring it without saying anything.

But Xiao Yi seemed to have no such troubles at all. He said to Fei Ye,

"Eating is a hassle, huh... I can’t do anything about you. Here, have this."

With that, Xiao Yi tossed something into Fei Ye’s hands.

"This is..." Fei Ye focused on it, "instant noodles."

"That’s right, instant noodles." Xiao Yi explained earnestly, "Instant noodles, also known as ramen. Even the name has the word ’convenient’ in it. That can’t be too troublesome, right?"

"This... well..." Fei Ye sighed, "It does simplify a lot of steps, but you still have to boil water each time you want to eat. It’s still kinda bothersome."

"True, boiling water every time you make instant noodles can be a bit troublesome." Xiao Yi agreed, then said, "Here’s a trick, it won’t be troublesome this way."

"Oh?" Fei Ye’s interest was piqued, "What kind of trick?"

"It’s simple. Since you have to boil water every time, why not just boil a lot of it at once, and then freeze it in the fridge? Next time, you can use it directly without boiling it again, right?"

"..." Fei Ye fell silent for a moment before sighing helplessly, "Never mind, it feels like more trouble. Let’s drop the subject."

"So, will you eat it?"

"I guess. It’s better than nothing."

So the two earnestly boiled water and prepared the noodles. Then, seeing Fei Ye cover the noodle bowl with a book, Xiao Yi said:

"Covering the noodle bowl with a book? That works, but there’s a better high-end method. Just flip the bowl upside down and let the gravity of the entire world do the covering!"

"Whoa, it’s all spilled out, you idiot!"

"...Ah? That’s not supposed to happen... I did it right last time!"

Listening to the commotion from Xiao Yi and Fei Ye, Sheraya sighed helplessly, put down his work, and went to address their situation.

Afterwards, although Xiao Yi and Fei Ye were very grateful to Sheraya, even though he smiled and said it was nothing, he wasn’t the slightest bit happy about it.

Indeed, it was a trivial matter that anyone could have handled better than him.

Because he knew that besides these trivial things, he hadn’t been much help in a long time.

Not only that, he couldn’t keep up with Xiao Yi and Fei Ye at all, hardly offering any useful suggestions and mostly remaining silent.

From this, Sheraya realized something... he seemed to be the dead weight of the team.

After realizing this, Sheraya’s concerns grew with time.

But he concealed it well, not wanting to let his already burdensome self affect Xiao Yi and the others.

Xiao Yi and Fei Ye didn’t notice Sheraya’s predicament; they only noticed that he had become quieter recently.

...

Soon, the night deepened and Xiao Yi and Fei Ye quickly went to bed early.

And Sheraya, with his heavy heart, naturally couldn’t sleep; he chose to stand guard through the night from possible enemy attacks... it was the least he could do.

Sheraya went to the rooftop, silently staring at the starry sky, saying nothing. He planned to stay there until Xiao Yi and the others woke up.

"...Hmm?"

Suddenly, Sheraya sensed something amiss—a dark shadow streaked across from beneath the stars!

"An enemy!?"

Sheraya immediately thought to wake Xiao Yi and the others, but... he stopped in his tracks.

It seemed there was only one foe. Was it really necessary... to wake them?
