Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, then obediently changed the subject.

"Does Miss Xin'er live in the Leng family's house behind her?"

Li Xin'er stood at the door of the RV and turned around. She knew what he meant; he wanted to know how to contact her in the future.

"No matter where I live, I will not deliberately hide my whereabouts. I believe you can find me easily."

Isn't today a perfect example?

She didn't leave her contact information with Lu Peiting yesterday, yet Lu Chen still found her so quickly; the power of the authorities should not be underestimated.

Lu Chen took a few steps closer and said with a forced smile:

"I was in a hurry today and offended you. I hope Miss Xin'er will not misunderstand."

Li Xin'er didn't care; it was just someone blocking her way. She was going to see him anyway.

"You're overthinking it. I'm not that petty."

"If Miss Xin'er isn't in a hurry to leave, would you like to go and take a look at the base in S City?"

Lu Chen still wanted to find an opportunity to get to know Li Xin'er again; he couldn't understand this woman at all.

As he spoke, he glanced at the sky outside the window and said:

"It's almost dinnertime. My personal chef is with me this time; his cooking skills are among the best in China."

I wonder if I would have the honor of inviting Ms. Xin'er and your friends to dinner together.

She became slightly interested in seeing the base from the front.

She was also quite curious about what the official base looked like in the beginning.

Hearing that the chefs were top-notch in China was incredibly tempting for Li Xin'er.

Li Xin'er readily nodded, "Okay, you lead the way."

Knowing that this old fox wanted to figure her out, giving her a chance wouldn't hurt, since the authorities would eventually have to understand her strength anyway.

Li Xin'er got out of the car, and Carl and the others followed her back to their own car.

"Cassowary, follow their vehicle to the S City base."

Before getting into the car, Li Xin'er greeted the driver, He Tuo.

"Okay, Sister Xin."

The cassow started the car and followed. Inside the car, the Zhan Yi people all looked at Li Xin'er with curiosity.

Carl, unusually, took the initiative to ask about Li Xin'er's recent situation.

"He's here to deal with the Fu family?"

Li Xin'er had no intention of hiding this matter. She believed in trusting those she employed and not employing those she didn't trust. She would have to leave these matters to Zhan Yi's people in the future; it was only a matter of time before they found out.

"Your previous guess was correct."

Then, without waiting for Carl to press further, Li Xin'er spoke again:

"I gave all the remaining resources of the Fu family to the authorities on the condition that the Fu family be completely wiped out this time."

It's obvious that the authorities would handle the Fu family even without me setting this condition. Consider this a gift to the authorities.

"I'll have bigger business dealings with officials in the future, so this will serve as a stepping stone."

Vulture chimed in, "Sister Xin, didn't they ask about our War Wings?"

The pigeon followed closely behind, offering a somewhat awkward explanation.

"Our Fighting Wings don't have a very good reputation internationally."

While speaking, she stole glances at her boss's expression. Seeing that Carl wasn't angry, she became increasingly bold in her speech.

"Actually, it's not just us in the Warwing faction; it's the same for all mercenary groups. China has always prohibited us from entering the country."

We were hired by the Ye family to sneak in, because we were afraid that our presence would affect Sister Xin's business with them.

Li Xin'er already knew all this and had made plans in advance.

"You don't need to worry about that. The apocalypse is a different situation than before. Before, even knives were controlled in China. Now, everyone is a soldier. Not to mention the firearms in the hands of the powerful families, there are plenty of superhumans too. We can't control them all."

After a pause, Li Xin'er added a sentence specifically for this purpose.

"Of course, I'm saying that until everything stabilizes, at least not yet."

As for how many years it will take to stabilize, Li Xin'er didn't know.

With her involvement this time, it might be brought forward by three to five years?

It could also be extended, perhaps by ten or twenty years.

The unknown is the undetermined.

Hearing Li Xin'er say that, the Zhan Yi people were relieved. They themselves didn't care, but they were afraid of affecting Sister Xin, which would make them feel too guilty.

They all felt they owed Li Xin'er too much and didn't want to cause her any more trouble.

Carl's deep green eyes revealed no emotion; his long, slender fingers crumpled his trousers slightly with his knees.

"If I wanted to relocate all the Zhan Yi people to China, would they agree?"

Before meeting Li Xin'er, he originally intended to use the Ye family's connections to negotiate. If the Chinese nation still disagreed, they had the weapons they obtained from the Ye family and could resist by force.

But now, he can't just focus on his own battle wings; he also has to consider whether doing so will cause trouble for Li Xin'er.

"I didn't ask, and I don't know the official intention. I don't know why you went to such lengths to settle the people of Zhan Yi in China?"

Li Xin'er was a little curious. Did the people of Zhan Yi have a kind of obsession with China?

Before Carl could reply, Vulture interrupted.

"Of course, China is safe!"

Li Xin'er looked at the others, and they all nodded, indicating that they shared similar thoughts.

Carl, in a low voice, gave the most direct explanation.

"Take the current situation as an example, even if we don't have any news from abroad for the time being..."

But China is definitely the first, or even the only, country to establish an official base.

In the face of such a devastating disaster, only unity offers hope.

Carl said, glancing at Li Xin'er with a meaningful look in his eyes:

"But not everyone, not every country, has this awareness."

Upon hearing this, Li Xin'er raised an eyebrow in surprise. She had to admit that Carl's thinking was ahead of his time and that he was intelligent.

Indeed, in the face of such an apocalypse, unity is the only way out.

The Chinese government has indeed done a very good job in this regard.

As the difficulty of the apocalypse increases, the importance of unity with those around you—family, friends, teammates—becomes paramount from the very beginning.

Various small teams gather together to form a base, and unity is essential within the base.

Once the major bases are established, national unity is essential.

When a disaster escalates to the point where even one country struggles to cope, then in the end, it is the unity of all humankind that matters.

Li Xin'er agreed with Carl's words. Since taking over the Warwing Squad, Li Xin'er had no intention of giving up on the Warwing Legion.

"We can discuss this issue with China. If that doesn't work, we can make other arrangements."

While she agreed with Carl, she believed these points only applied to Warwing or other ordinary people.

For her, it was better to occupy an independent territory, free from the control of anyone, than to choose a country to rely on.

However, she did not share this idea with Carl and the others at this time.

Carl was surprised to learn that Li Xin'er already had a plan, and from what she said, it seemed she intended to accept the other members of Zhan Yi.

Carl's previously furrowed brows relaxed, and his usual coldness lessened. He nodded to Li Xin'er.

"Okay, whatever you say."
