I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 130 - 130: 130: Must Get on the Ship

Zhang Qi: “Great! I am going to go and inquire about it today! I will find out how they came up with this list even if I cannot enter the base!”

Sun Wei, looking frustrated, spoke, “Xiaozhang, what’s wrong with you today? Did you take the wrong medicine?!”

Uncle Zhao responded calmly, “It’s fine. Everyone wants to go to the safety base. It’s natural to feel resentment when you’re not chosen after waiting for a long time. It’s human nature, but…”

His voice shifted as he turned to the crowd and spoke slowly, “However, there’s definitely nothing wrong with the list, and no one is manipulating it. You can all trust me, and if you don’t…”

“Uncle Zhao, don’t say that. We all trust you!”

“Yes, without Uncle Zhao, we wouldn’t even know what to do right now.” “Don’t worry, Uncle Zhao, Xiaozhang just got a bit upset. We will talk to him.”

Everyone started to speak, trying to defuse the tension.

Zhang Qi, standing in the crowd, was still visibly angry — his face filled with fury.

Old Zhao tried to reason with him, “The base is now overcrowded. Deciding who to bring in must involve certain considerations. I reported Wu Lili’s condition just yesterday, thinking they may select her due to better medical conditions in the base.”

Zhang Qi, still arguing with Old Zhao, snorted, “Anyway, I will go today! If I can’t go, none of you will get on the ship!” He then took an axe from his pocket!

The crowd gasped in horror and scattered away!

“Zhang Qi! Have you gone mad?!!” Sun Wei roared. He couldn’t believe his friend would do something like this!

Uncle Zhao’s face became cold and expressionless as he looked at Zhang Qi, “Even if I take you there, the base will not allow us to dock if the number doesn’t match. You still won’t be able to step foot on the island.”

“That’s your problem! You deal with it!” Zhang Qi said, still holding on to the axe. “One way or another, I am boarding that ship today!”

The atmosphere was tense.

Zhang Qi clenched the axe.

Uncle Zhao remained silent.

Neither of them was willing to back down.

It was then that Chang Weicai, hesitatingly stepped forward and said, “Why don’t … let’s give my spot to Xiaozhang?”

Everyone’s mood lightened for a moment, only to be followed by surprise. They couldn’t believe someone could be so selfless and willing to give up the chance to go to the base.

“Mr. Chang, think twice about this.” Sun Wei couldn’t help but advise.

Chang Weicai smiled softly, “There’s nothing to think about. Xiaozhang is anxious to be with his friends and family in the base. Let him go first. I can wait here a few more weeks. There will still be opportunities later.”

Everyone remained silent, thinking: Everyone knows there will be more opportunities, but who would want to miss it when it’s right in front of them?

Chang Weicai lightly patted Zhang Qi on the shoulder, took the axe from his hand, and said amicably, “Go get your luggage. The ship leaves at ten. Don’t be late.”

Zhang Qi’s eyes reddened, he lowered his head, loosened his grip, and left without saying a word.

The others approached Chang Weicai to express their gratitude before gradually dispersing.

From a distance, Bai Youwei observed the scene. A thought began to form in her mind as to why Uncle Zhao had written Chang Weicai’s name on the list….
