Seeing Li Si's expression, Yun Xiaoxiao just smiled.
Then she asked, "Who ordered you to come and ruin our base's reputation?"
"The... the Base Leader," Li Si answered almost instinctively.
"What's his name? Age, gender, appearance, abilities - tell me everything in order."
"His name is Zheng Qishan, he should be 56 years old, male, quite imposing, and walks with a cane. As for his abilities... we haven't seen him use any special powers yet."
"Did he invent the evolution serum?"
"Yes, he did."
"Did you tell him about me after you returned last time?" Yun Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes.
Li Si nodded, "Yes, we did."
"How did he react?"
Li Si thought for a moment, "I said it was impossible for you to have invented the evolution serum, but the Base Leader didn't seem to agree."
Hearing this, Yun Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow.
Then, she asked another question.
"How many people are in your base?"
"About ten thousand or so."
"How many have special abilities?"
"Probably five or six hundred."
"Are any of them particularly strong?"
"The Base Leader's daughter. No one in the base has been able to defeat her yet."
"How old is she? What's her name, and what are her characteristics?"
"Her name is Zheng Xin'er, she's 21 years old, has a fiery personality, and is quite beautiful."
"Alright, last question. Were you trying to kill us just now?"
Yun Xiaoxiao's gaze sharpened.
Li Si hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, not at all."
[Even if we were, I can't say that.]
Li Si didn't know that Yun Xiaoxiao could hear his thoughts.
No matter how much he tried to deny it outwardly, it was futile.
"Very well. Since you've provided us with some information, I'll leave your body intact."
Yun Xiaoxiao smirked as she raised her knife.
Li Si's eyes widened in fear. Before he could even utter a plea for mercy, the large knife came down.
After kicking the bodies into a small ditch by the roadside, Nie Yizhou tossed a handful of dirt to bury them completely.
It wasn't out of kindness; he just wanted to prevent disease from spreading due to the exposed corpses.
After all, they weren't far from the base, so safety was the priority.
"Kid, are we leaving now?"
Yun Xiaoxiao glanced at the base, "We still need someone to keep an eye on things inside."
"I'm not staying. I prefer being outside," Xiao Feng said bluntly.
While staying in the base was safer, it could get boring after a while.
Nie Yizhou raised an eyebrow, "I'm definitely going. It'll be convenient to have me as a 'transport' when needed."
"No need to look at me. You wouldn't want me to stay anyway," Ling Jing shrugged.
"How about I stay behind then?"
Seeing that no one seemed willing to stay, Mu Yang volunteered.
"It's better if you all go together, so you can look out for each other on the way."
The journey to Yangcheng Base was quite far.
Lu Chen was stronger than him, so he could better ensure everyone's safety.
Seeing that Mu Yang was sincere, Yun Xiaoxiao agreed.
"Then we'll trouble you to guard the base, Brother Mu Yang."
"Mm, don't worry about it."
After saying their goodbyes, Yun Xiaoxiao took out a modified RV from her spatial storage, and the group set off.
Although they encountered several waves of zombies along the way, they managed to escape danger easily.
A few days later, they arrived at the gates of Yangcheng Base.
Yangcheng Base was located in a university in Yangcheng City.
The school was near the suburbs, and the surrounding zombies seemed to have been cleared out.
At least, Yun Xiaoxiao and her group didn't encounter any zombies around the base.
"If we go in like this, won't it raise suspicion?" Nie Yizhou said.
"Well, how about we disguise ourselves then?"
Yun Xiaoxiao winked at him.
At the mention of disguises, Nie Yizhou immediately thought of the abandoned prison incident.
"Let's be clear, I'm not dressing up as a woman."
He was already traumatized by that experience.
"Why do you sound like you've dressed up as a woman before?" Xiao Feng glanced at him with narrowed eyes.
"Actually, he did-mmph!"
Yun Xiaoxiao was about to share with everyone, but Nie Yizhou quickly covered her mouth.
His obviously guilty behavior made everyone even more curious.
Feeling uncomfortable under everyone's gaze, Nie Yizhou snapped,
"What are you looking at? I'm not a woman!"
In the end, under pressure, Nie Yizhou once again donned women's clothing.
Seeing the others trying to hold back their laughter, his face darkened.
"Why don't any of you have to dress up as women?!" he complained resentfully.
Xiao Feng pointed at his own face, "Have you ever seen a woman look this masculine? Even in women's clothes, I wouldn't pass."
Nie Yizhou then looked at Lu Chen.
But seeing Lu Chen's cold, stern face, he immediately gave up on that idea.
Forget it, asking Brother Chen to dress as a woman would be asking for death.
Then, he frowned and turned to Ling Jing.
"Why don't you dress up?"
With Ling Jing's androgynously handsome face, he'd be a hundred times more convincing as a woman!
Ling Jing lazily shrugged, "Isn't it obvious? If I dressed as a woman, I'm afraid the men in Yangcheng Base wouldn't be able to walk straight."
Nie Yizhou's mouth twitched.
You're quite full of yourself!
While they were talking, a small figure emerged from the RV.
Wearing a white baseball cap, a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and a pair of sneakers.
What a handsome little boy!
"Kid, I have to say, you make quite the cute little boy," Xiao Feng remarked.
"You're not bad yourself, all curves in the right places," Yun Xiaoxiao retorted.
Nie Yizhou: ......
After changing into their disguises and suppressing their auras, they headed towards Yangcheng Base.
Like at Rongsheng Base, there was a long queue in front of the gates of Yangcheng Base.
Many survivors were waiting to be checked.
The group also followed the rules and queued up obediently.
At present, they weren't clear about the situation inside, so they couldn't be too reckless and enter directly.
As they were queuing, suddenly, the roar of a car engine came from behind.
An SUV came speeding towards them.
However, the car was swerving erratically.
As the car was about to crash into them, Lu Chen, who was closest, raised his hand and formed a layer of white light.
The massive light shield forced the oncoming car to stop.
Lu Chen then dropped his hand, canceling the light shield.
The back door of the car opened, and a tall figure jumped out.
She had long, wine-red hair, a figure like a devil, and exuded an air of wild beauty.
As soon as she got out, she picked up a stone from the ground and smashed the driver's side window.
Then, she stabbed the crazed driver with a knife.
Her movements were clean and efficient.
While she was doing this, several men also exited the car.
However, their presence wasn't as imposing as the woman's.
Yun Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow.
So this was Zheng Qishan's daughter, Zheng Xin'er.
As Yun Xiaoxiao was observing her, Zheng Xin'er turned around.
Her gaze swept across the group, then locked onto Lu Chen.
A hint of amazement quietly appeared in her eyes.
