Lei Lang watched from the side, and upon seeing this, he raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly.

This woman has a real knack for winning people over; with just a few words, she made the young girl, whom she had just met, lower her guard and completely trust her.

At the same time, it killed two birds with one stone, completely depriving him of his right to choose and forcing him to follow their team.

How can I make her happy?

The wolf king's soul would not allow him to leave.

Lei Lang wanted to see Ye Nianzhen's disappointed expression when she realized her plan had failed.

Unexpectedly, after dinner, the little girl slept soundly.

After waking up, rubbing his sleepy eyes, he said something cryptic to Lei Lang.

"Big brother, he said you've fulfilled your promise and are now free."

Lei Lang was stunned for a moment.

Something detached from his body, turned into a wisp of smoke, and vanished.

Lei Lang felt relieved, yet also somewhat lost.

After a while, he belatedly punched the ground.

Dry!

The team resumed their journey.

This time, there was an extra child in the group who needed extra care, so the pace slowed down, but it was also more leisurely.

After descending from Leishan, head west around it, and then cross another mountain to fully enter the northern territory.

Leaving the mountainous area, the terrain became flatter, and Ye Nianzhen took out the RV and drove it towards the northern base.

The northern base is built along the river, so as long as you find the major river that runs from north to south and proceed along the bank, you can reach your destination.

When they were still more than ten kilometers away from the northern base, a vehicle came into view as it approached.

The people in the car were most likely from the Northern Base, and Ye Nianzhen originally intended to honk the horn to signal them.

But I saw that the vehicle was driving very erratically, with the accelerator pedal pressed to the limit and the engine making a roaring sound as if it was under too much strain.

Ye Nianzhen stopped the RV and observed from a distance, only to discover that a group of zombies crawling close to the ground were following behind the vehicle.

The zombies moved in a very strange and fast manner, and if you didn't look closely, they could even blend into the ground.

It's clearly not an ordinary horde of zombies.

A guess popped into Ye Nianzhen's mind, and she immediately turned the car around and parked the RV in a nearby grove of trees.

He then shared his plans with his teammates.

The key to this plan is Aji, who has only recently joined the base.

After these days of rest, Aji is now able to move freely and has more energy.

After listening to Ye Nianzhen's instructions, she nodded: "I understand, Sister Ye."

Ye Nianzhen looked directly into the girl's eyes: "I believe in your strength."

Aji smiled happily: "Mmm!"

Mu Guang was not allowed to join the plan and was ruthlessly threatened—

"Any suspicious behavior from you will result in you being locked in the mirror sphere, understand?"

Mu Guang rolled her eyes, then a playful smile flashed across her face as if a brilliant idea had just appeared: "Okay, Sister Ye~"

Ye Nianzhen: "..."

With business at hand, Ye Nianzhen suppressed her urge to teach the other party a lesson and instructed everyone to proceed according to plan.

The car owner was clearly at his limit; after crashing into a large tree, the car door wobbled open.

A reconnaissance officer in combat gear fell out of the vehicle, covered in blood.

The zombies that followed swarmed forward, and the man fought back with all his might, but he was too exhausted to continue.

After shooting down a few zombies in front of him, he was devoured by the relentless horde of zombies.

The northern base is ten kilometers away.

A man with a refined appearance and a gloomy demeanor left from the window with a bad expression.

Although he can already control tens of thousands of zombies, he is still not used to the sensory sharing under such precise control.

The visuals of dozens of eyes flooded his mind at once, and the sensation of tearing flesh and the stench of blood were as if he were there in person.

He would normally disconnect beforehand to avoid this terrible experience.

But the man they were chasing had touched upon a very important secret, and they had to make sure he died a gruesome death.

Otherwise, the grand plan to seize control of the northern base center will die in its infancy.

...It will be soon.

The man pinched the bridge of his nose and lowered his head to relieve his mental and psychological discomfort.

We've successfully persuaded several key researchers; in a few days, once they transfer the data...

He could then unleash a zombie horde and destroy the northern base.

After that, he was just a stone's throw away from his goal.

The door opened without being knocked on.

He didn't need to look up to know who it was; only she would dare to be so rude.

Sure enough, a pair of soft, fair arms wrapped around his shoulders.

"Brother Mo, what are you daydreaming about?"

Knowing she wouldn't come without a reason, the man squeezed her hand and asked, "What's bothering you?"

Woman: "I thought it was too hot, so I asked those people to prepare some ice cream for me, and they actually dared to roll their eyes at me!"

"Such a large base, and it doesn't even have a single water-type ability user who has evolved ice-type abilities? How pathetic."

The man patted her reassuringly: "Don't get upset over something like this. Your pretty face is all scrunched up."

"Ugh! ...Why hasn't that water-type ability user you mentioned shown up yet?"

Man: "It'll be soon, let's wait a little longer."

He thought for a moment and then suggested, "If you're really hot, you can go find Gu Shibing."

The woman scoffed, "Why bother with him? He's so boring."

The man said, "The more ghosts he summons, the lower the temperature around him becomes. He might even be able to freeze you into a block of ice."

The woman playfully slapped the man: "Your dear sister will freeze to death before the ice forms!"
