Upon hearing this, Zheng Qishan narrowed his eyes.
Yun City Base?
Where did that come from?
How did they get evolution serum?
Even if they had it, it shouldn't appear in a southwestern border city, and the timing was off too.
Could it be...
The other party was also reborn?!
Thinking of this, his expression became more serious.
He followed the man to the communications room and listened to the complete message.
Afterwards, he summoned someone.
"Go to this Yun City Base and buy a bottle of their evolution serum.
At the same time, find out who created this evolution serum.
Remember, don't use our Yangcheng Base name."
"Yes, Base Leader!"

Three days later, in the early morning.
"Xiaoxiao, you're up so early?"
Grandma Niu was busy trimming branches from the roadside flowers with Xue Huaixue and Du Juan. Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao, she quickly greeted her with a smile.
"Yes, Grandma Niu. Thank you all for your hard work."
"It's no trouble at all."
Smiles radiated from all three of their faces.
The morning sunlight happened to shine down, adding an extra layer of warmth to their smiles.
It inexplicably made one feel that time was peaceful and beautiful.
After chatting briefly, Yun Xiaoxiao continued on her way, sucking on a lollipop and gliding along on her scooter.
She saw the Tan Changbin family planting crops in the fields with Feng Jin.
She also saw Nan Yi and Fat Uncle feeding grass to the cattle and sheep.
Mu Yang, Lu Chen, and Ling Jing were busy modifying vehicles.
Xiao Feng and Nie Yizhou were repairing various parts of the base with Liu Yi.
Seeing everyone so busy, Yun Xiaoxiao felt very pleased.
That saying was really true.
If you can't lead a team, you can only work yourself to death.
Now with so many people busy building the base, how wonderful.
It wasn't that she was lazy~
She just had to give others the opportunity to prove their worth.
When people are busy, they don't overthink things, and they feel needed.
See how considerate she was of others.
"Beep~"
Suddenly, a horn sounded.
Yun Xiaoxiao turned her head to see Ci Wan and her group driving towards her in a car.
They stopped in front of her.
Ci Wan opened the window.
"Sister Ci Wan, are you all going out?"
Seeing they were heading towards the main gate, Yun Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
Ci Wan nodded, "Mm-hmm, we're planning to go kill some zombies in the nearby town."
"Won't you rest for a couple more days? Your injuries..."
"We're fine now, thanks to the doctors in your base," Ci Wan said with a smile.
"After resting for two days, we feel our bodies are pretty much recovered."
"Alright then, be careful out there."
Yun Xiaoxiao waved.
"We will."
Ci Wan and her group gave Yun Xiaoxiao friendly smiles.
Watching Ci Wan and the others leave, Yun Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows.
Another beautiful day.
After lunch, Yun Xiaoxiao was thinking about taking a nap when Little Di's voice sounded.
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You've been rewarded with a random ability!]
[Mind Reading Ability!]
Yun Xiaoxiao: !!
Who secretly raised their intimacy this time?
Such surprises were welcome, she wouldn't mind getting one every day!
But...
What was this Mind Reading Ability?
Could it be exactly what it sounded like, the ability to read what others were thinking?
She decided to test it out on someone.
Just then, she saw Nie Yizhou passing by.
"Brother Yizhou, wait a moment."
"What is it, little imp?"
[She's not going to prank me again, is she?]
Yun Xiaoxiao heard two voices at the same time.
One was what Nie Yizhou said out loud.
The other seemed to come from nowhere.
It was also Nie Yizhou's voice.
But she was certain that Nie Yizhou's mouth hadn't uttered the second sentence.
She lifted her chin and stared at Nie Yizhou.
The stare made Nie Yizhou feel a bit uneasy.
"Little imp, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't stare at me like that."
[Why is she looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?]
Nie Yizhou unconsciously reached up to touch his face, his brow furrowed in confusion.
Yun Xiaoxiao: There really were two voices!
"Hey, little imp, where are you going? Didn't you have something to ask me?"
[Could it be that there are no children her age in the base to play with, and she's developed some mental issues?]
"You're the one with mental issues," Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but retort.
Nie Yizhou: ???
How did she know what he was thinking!
At this moment, Ling Jing also walked over.
Yun Xiaoxiao approached him.
"Brother Ling Jing, do you want to bite me?"
She asked out of the blue.
Ling Jing gave her a sidelong glance, "Is something wrong with your brain? Why would I bite you?"
[There's barely any meat on you, I'd chip a tooth trying to bite you.]
Yun Xiaoxiao: ......
After this, she finally confirmed that she could indeed hear what others were thinking.
She happily clasped her hands behind her back and cheerfully walked away.
Nie Yizhou bumped Ling Jing's shoulder.
"Hey, don't you think the little imp is acting a bit strange?"
"Yeah, a bit, but..."
Ling Jing gave Nie Yizhou a disdainful look.
"Can you not stand so close to me? Don't you know you reek of sweat?"
Nie Yizhou immediately puffed up indignantly, pointing at himself, "I stink? This is what you call a man's scent, don't you understand!"
"Heh..."
"What do you mean by that 'heh'? Hey, don't walk away, explain yourself!"
"Little Feng, you're here at the right time. Be the judge, Ling Jing says I smell of sweat. Take a whiff, does it stink?"
Xiao Feng nodded sincerely, "It stinks."
Nie Yizhou: !!!
---
Just as Yun Xiaoxiao was feeling happy, she heard Little Di's voice again.
It said there were outsiders approaching the base.
She raised an eyebrow.
Could it be someone who heard the radio broadcast coming to deliver spirit crystals?
Thinking this, she felt even happier.
She turned and headed straight for the base's main gate.
On the way, she ran into Lu Chen and Mu Yang.
"Little one, where are you off to?" Mu Yang asked with a smile.
"It seems like someone's come outside. I'm going to take a look."
Mu Yang and Lu Chen's eyes flickered.
They knew that Yun Xiaoxiao must have some kind of sensing ability.
Because on the night they first arrived at the base, she could accurately pinpoint where zombies were outside the base.
And that time when Liu Yi and the others came, Yun Xiaoxiao was the first to know.
Though they were curious, they didn't ask directly.
Everyone has their own secrets.
There's no need to pry into every little thing.
"How about we go with you?"
Mu Yang pointed at the car he had modified.
"Hop in, I'll let you try out this new ride."
So, the three of them headed towards the base's main gate together.
As soon as they arrived, the gate opened automatically.
Sure enough, two cars were parked outside the gate.
A man in his thirties got out of one of the cars.
His gaze swept over Yun Xiaoxiao and the other two, finally focusing on Lu Chen.
"Is this the Yun City Base?"
Lu Chen nodded.
"I heard you can buy evolution serum here?" the man asked again.
