Chapter 308 Could it be that Mu Jin?

Shi Xu, Gu Qi, Gu Wan, He Zhuo, and Ji Xian all looked at Chi Yanzhou simultaneously, their eyes filled with doubt as they exchanged glances: [Mu Jin? Could it be the Mu Jin we know?]

Chi Yanzhou: "Is Mu Cheng also at your base?"

Wang Xi exclaimed with delight, "Do any of you know Captain Mu Cheng? He's our base commander's youngest son, and he's quite powerful; he's currently a level three earth-type ability user!"

Shi Xu raised an eyebrow: [It really is those bastards from the Mu family! Mu Jin is loyal? Mu Cheng is a Level 3 official, impressive? It's truly a case of the King of Hell issuing a proclamation—a string of lies!]

Gu Qi: [Those scoundrels like Mu Jin and Mu Cheng, who bully men and women, have become base leaders?]

Gu Wan looked at Gu Qi, raising an eyebrow: [Brother, we went on a long trip, and even trash has become the overlord? What a dog-eat-dog world.]

He Zhu rolled his eyes: [What bad luck... those sons of the Mu family who are born without an anus have become the fourth-ranked base?]

Ji Xian looked at Wang Xi and the others with pity: [Playing the erhu in a ditch—nonsense! What kind of good place could the Mu family be?]

Chi Yanzhou replied without changing his expression, "I've heard other survivors mention it."

Wang Xi immediately beamed: "I didn't expect Captain Mu Cheng to be so famous! So our base is really great. If you're looking for a base, you should definitely consider ours..."

He Zhuo and the others shook their heads in unison, their movements so synchronized as if they had rehearsed.

Seeing that Lu Nange and her group were indeed uninterested, Wang Xi had no choice but to compromise: "Alright... then if you ever need anything from me, Wang Xi, you can come directly to the Mu family base. There's a sign outside our gate that says 'Sharp Blade Base,' and Sharp Blade is the Mu family base."

He Zhuo secretly glared at Ji Xian, his eyes filled with disgust: [Old Ji, listen to this, 'Sharp Edge'? I think he's insane! No, the Mu family is a bunch of animals...]

Lu Nange noticed that these young people were all quite guileless, especially Wang Xi, who was warm and straightforward...

Infiltrating someone else's base to investigate would be troublesome, so she simply took out a few packets of compressed biscuits from her backpack and handed them to Wang Xi.

Wang Xi frantically waved his hands and backed away, saying, "Little Deer! What are you doing! You saved our lives, we already feel bad for not giving you supplies, how could we take your things!"

The team members behind her nodded in agreement, their faces clearly saying, "This is unacceptable."

Lu Nange: "Sister Xi, we've been staying at home the whole time, rarely going out except to find supplies, so we don't know much about the situation at the seven bases in Beijing. Could you please give us a general overview, so we don't accidentally offend anyone... Consider this a token of our gratitude."

The boy next to Wang Xi couldn't help but laugh, "Little sister, don't worry! With your older brothers and sisters' level of superpowers, there are probably very few people in Beijing you can't afford to offend."

The others chimed in with their own opinions.

"Yes, little sister, your older brothers and sisters all possess level four superpowers."

"Of the seven major bases in Beijing, the three lowest-ranked bases only have their base leaders at level four. You group of level four powerhouses actually outnumber the total number of level four ability users in our base..."

Lu Nange shoved the compressed biscuits directly into Wang Xi's hands: "Sister Xi, consider this a friendly gesture. One bag for each of you..."

Wang Xi tried to refuse, saying, "Putting aside the fact that you saved our lives, anyone can find out about the seven major bases in Beijing. There's really no need for a thank-you gift..."

He Zhuo and Ji Xian immediately took action, each stuffing a bag into the hands of each team member.

Wang Xi no longer declined and said gratefully, "Then thank you... Shall I begin?"

Lu Nange and her group nodded in unison.

Before speaking, Wang Xi habitually glanced around to make sure the area was safe...

Lu Nange: "Don't worry, my older brother and sister are keeping an eye on the zombies."

Wang Xi: "There are a total of seven major bases in Beijing. The largest is the military's 'Dragon Soaring Base,' and the second largest is the Chi family's 'Flame Heart Base'..."

[The Chi family?] Lu Nange and her group quickly exchanged glances.

Wang Xi continued, listing the names with familiarity: "The third one is called 'Rock Base,' then there's our 'Sharp Blade Base'—though we folks usually just call it the Mu Family Base. As for the remaining three, they're all small bases, called 'Dawn Base,' 'Starlight Base,' and 'Windfall Base'..."

Luo Xingyou: "Sister Xi, how did you rank your bases?"

Wang Xi scratched his head: "Um, I heard it's ranked based on the number and level of ability users in each base. We don't know the specifics of how it's calculated..."

Gu Qi: "Why don't you go to the military base?"

The boy next to Wang Xi smiled wryly and continued, "At first, everyone wanted to go to the military base, but the military has taken in too many survivors. If we went to the military, many ordinary survivors wouldn't have any special abilities... For us special abilities users, there would be too much work to do. It's no different from being skinned alive and drained..."

Wang Xi quickly stopped him: "Chuanzi!"

Chuanzi retorted, "Sister Xi, I didn't say anything wrong! We work ourselves to the bone killing zombies and searching for supplies, and when we get back, we can't even feed ourselves and we still have to feed a whole bunch of them..."

His voice lowered: "...the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled."

Wang Xi said sternly, "How can you talk like that? Those are our compatriots who deserve protection!"

Chuanzi turned her face away: "I know they are compatriots... but I don't want to be a hero. I just want to live a good life in my own little corner of the world."

Wang Xi looked at everyone awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Chuanzi is young... and has a fiery temper."

Chi Yanzhou: "Miss Wang, do you know the locations of all the bases?"

Wang Xi: "Yes, the military is on Anqing Road, and the Chi family is on Anfu Road..."

Chi Yanzhou turned his head to look at Lu Nange, and the two exchanged a glance.

Lu Nange turned to Wang Xi knowingly, "Sister Xi, thank you for telling us so much... We still need to find supplies, so we'll take our leave now."

Wang Xi readily nodded: "Okay! See you again sometime. Although our abilities aren't high-level, if you ever need help, just come to the base anytime!"

Lu Nange nodded: "See you again someday!"

A group of people started walking in the direction from which Wang Xi and his group had come.

As Lu Nange and her companions turned out of the alley...

The bespectacled man who had been silent all along couldn't help but ask, "Sister Xi, they're so capable, and they're also going to find supplies, why don't we go with them?"

Chuanzi: "What? Are you a leech reincarnated? You haven't had enough of sucking blood from people, have you? They saved us and gave us food, and you want them to lead you to find supplies? How can you be so shameless?"

Wang Xi: "Chuanzi! Why are you acting like a firecracker again? Xiao Zhan was just asking. He didn't mean any harm."

Chuanzi pursed his lips and muttered, "He doesn't seem to have any bad intentions. I think he's a lotus root reincarnated, full of evil thoughts!"
