Some things can't be explained away with excuses.
After all, when it comes to medical research, precise equipment does make a significant difference.
The equipment in Cloud City that they currently had was what Yun Xiaoxiao had taken from the mental hospital.
Compared to the most advanced instruments in research institutes, these were somewhat lacking.
Zhong Mingsheng expressed all his concerns.
Previously, he hadn't wanted to bring it up because he was worried about the long distance and dangers of travel.
But now he knew the base had built an airfield, and Yun Xiaoxiao's group had even flown a helicopter to another province.
So perhaps this might be possible now.
After listening, Yun Xiaoxiao nodded to show she understood.
"Please give me the specific address, and if you could draw a simple map marking the important landmarks, it would make it easier for us to find."
Several minutes later, Zhong Mingsheng handed a piece of paper to Yun Xiaoxiao.
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at the vacant-eyed Ling Jing and led him to one of the rooms.
The room was spacious, with a bed and bathroom, looking quite normal.
However, the outside was fitted with many iron bars.
The door had been modified as well.
If it was locked, only the bottom section could be opened to pass things through, where there was a metal plate.
"Take good care of him,"
Yun Xiaoxiao turned to tell Du Juan.
She was too busy to constantly watch over Ling Jing in his current state.
But she couldn't let him roam freely around the base either.
If he suddenly turned violent and started biting people, the base would descend into chaos.
The system's settings only removed people who posed a threat to her, but it didn't say anything about removing those who harmed others in the base.
That was a risk she couldn't take.
"Of course, Sister Xiaoxiao."
Du Juan nodded solemnly.
After leaving there, Yun Xiaoxiao walked toward the base's main entrance.
Earlier, Mu Yang had said he wanted to find her to discuss something.
But it had been quite a while, and he still hadn't shown up.
She wondered if something had happened.
Just as she reached the entrance, she met Mu Yang returning.
"Little one, you're here."
"Yes, when you didn't come over, I thought something might have happened, so I came to check."
"Nothing happened, just that those people wanted to try the evolution liquid first, so I waited with them while they tested it,"
Mu Yang said with his hands in his pockets, smiling gently.
"It's strange though, there was a man who came yesterday, but he couldn't get in because you weren't here.
When I went out earlier, he had left.
Even though he was so eager to come in before, he ended up leaving."
Mu Yang shook his head and continued.
"Oh right, I wanted to talk to you about whether you have any surveillance equipment.
If you do, I'd like to install cameras at the base's entrance and several other locations.
This way, if we have visitors or any accidents occur, we can know about the situation immediately."
"Yes, I do. I'll get them for you now."
Yun Xiaoxiao pulled Mu Yang to a corner and beckoned him.
"Crouch down."
Mu Yang crouched down, looking puzzled.
Then, Yun Xiaoxiao started pulling out surveillance equipment.
The two of them were crouched in a circle in the corner.
From any angle, they looked like they were plotting something suspicious.
"Hey, are you two watching ants?"
Suddenly, Nie Yizhou's voice came from behind Mu Yang.
He was standing on tiptoes, trying hard to peek between them.
They both turned to look at him with expressions that suggested they were looking at an idiot.
Then they both turned back, ignoring him.
Nie Yizhou: ......
He rubbed his nose and grinned as he moved closer.
"What are you guys doing? Let me see."
When he saw the surveillance equipment, he looked disappointed.
"Oh, just this? I thought you were looking at some treasure."
"Oh right, kid, didn't you introduce a team of ability users before?
They used to be firefighters, really agile, and now they've joined our guard team.
Yesterday their leader, what was his name..."
"Lei Ming."
"Right, Lei Ming, he had a physical fight with Brother Chen right there, it was so intense, got everyone's blood pumping.
Guess who won?"
Without looking up, Yun Xiaoxiao said, "Big Brother."
"Wow, kid, you're amazing! How did you know?!" Nie Yizhou was very surprised.
Yun Xiaoxiao smiled lightly, "Just a guess."
She still remembered Lei Ming, who was quite bulky and looked pretty capable.
She just had more faith in Lu Chen's abilities.
"Where are Big Brother and the others? I'll go see them."
After handing the surveillance equipment to Mu Yang, Yun Xiaoxiao planned to find Lu Chen and his team.
"They should be doing weight training, but they should be returning to the plaza soon."
"Oh, then let's wait."
So, Yun Xiaoxiao walked to the plaza and lay back on the steps without caring about her image, stretching lazily.
Just then, Little Enemy's voice suddenly rang out.
[Ding! Random ability reward: Teleportation ability!]
Yun Xiaoxiao: !
Little Enemy hadn't spoken for a long time, and now it came with such a big surprise.
But that wasn't all...
[Ding! Random ability reward: Fire ability!]
Yun Xiaoxiao: !!
Wow, two at once!
Would there be a third?
She waited patiently...
[Host, don't be greedy, that's all.]
Yun Xiaoxiao: ......
Little Enemy was fine, just a bit too talkative!
While she was secretly complaining, Lu Chen returned with the training squad.
Everyone wanted to collapse on the ground as soon as they returned.
But Lu Chen said expressionlessly, "Next, combination punches begin!"
Immediately, a chorus of groans filled the air.
But no one dared to slack off.
This was the authority of Lu Chen as their captain.
Yun Xiaoxiao and Nie Yizhou both felt a bit of schadenfreude.
See? Big Brother/Brother Chen's training isn't easy.
Xiao Feng was supervising everyone on the side; he had become the vice-captain now, helping Lu Chen train everyone.
Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao and the others there, Lu Chen walked over.
"Looking for me?" he looked at Yun Xiaoxiao.
Yun Xiaoxiao nodded, "Yes."
She beckoned to Lu Chen, who cooperatively lowered his head.
"It's like this, I'm planning to go out alone tomorrow, and I'm not sure when I'll be back, could be a few days, could be half a month."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Chen frowned.
"Where are you going? I'll come with you."
Yun Xiaoxiao shook her head, "I'm enough on my own, they need you here to oversee their training."
"Then let me go with you, it's dangerous to go alone," Nie Yizhou said.
Yun Xiaoxiao glanced at him, "Can you beat me in a fight?"
Nie Yizhou: ......
There was no way to continue this conversation.
His self-esteem had taken a serious hit.
He pretended to wipe away tears, acting hurt.
Yun Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched.
Please, it was so fake...
Not even a single tear!
