Nuclear Defense Base No. 101.

This nuclear defense base, built by China over many years before the disaster, is nestled among mountains.

And it is hidden hundreds of meters underground.

The entrance to the base used a large amount of heavy metal, resembling an iron wall.

But now, the heavy metal gate is tightly shut, the huge door panels interlocking seamlessly, like the clenched teeth of a giant beast, completely isolating the world inside the base from the chaos outside.

Looking at the gate from afar, Jiang Wu exclaimed, "It truly lives up to its reputation as a national project; it looks incredibly sturdy."

Ye Qingyu nodded and said, "This metal door is very thick and made of special materials. Even a nuclear explosion would not be enough to completely destroy it."

Upon hearing Ye Qingyu's words, Jiang Wu couldn't help but marvel at the base's defensive capabilities.

This facility should retain its functionality, just in case it might be useful in the future.

After all, it would be virtually impossible to rebuild such a nuclear defense base.

Jiang Wu thought for a moment and said seriously, "How can we get in without damaging this base?"

Ye Qingyu instantly understood Jiang Wu's consideration. She thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Zhao Yanwen is a bit arrogant, and I guess he hates me. I'll go and call him out."

Jiang Wu glanced at the Level 3 creature robe Ye Qingyu was wearing and nodded.

This robe belongs to Bai Feiming, but she left it to Ye Qingyu because she was going back to Fuxing City.

With the protection of this robe, plus Ye Qingyu's own level-two bio-armor, ordinary bombs would absolutely not be able to penetrate her defenses.

Soon, a dozen mine-clearing soldiers rushed to the open space in front of the base gate and searched the area.

After confirming that everything was correct, Ye Qingyu walked alone towards the huge metal gate.

Her figure was graceful, her steps firm, and every step seemed to carry an invisible aura.

Arriving at the gate, Ye Qingyu calmly took out her modified walkie-talkie and skillfully adjusted the channel.

A moment later, she spoke into the walkie-talkie: "Zhao Yanwen, I need an explanation! Why did you send your two sons to hunt me down? If I hadn't been lucky, you would have succeeded! And now, you've even locked the door tightly. Are you afraid I'll come back to settle the score with you?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the walkie-talkie, followed by Zhao Yanwen's furious roar: "Ye Qingyu, how dare you come back! You're courting death!"

Ye Qingyu remained unfazed. She continued, "What? You're too scared to come out and see me? You know my methods. Do you really think I can't open the door just because it's tightly shut?"

Zhao Yanwen was completely enraged by Ye Qingyu's words. He roared, "Fine, you want to die? I'll grant your wish! Do you really think that just because you're a level two evolver and have an evolved beast suit, you're invincible?!"

Ye Qingyu calmly said, "Zhao Yanwen, stop talking nonsense. Either you come out, or I go in. Today, you must give me an explanation!"

Zhao Yanwen sneered, "An explanation? I'll give you an explanation soon enough!"

Within the base.

Zhao Yanwen shouted to his trusted adjutant, "Gather all your trusted men and come with me to deal with Ye Qingyu!"

The adjutant cautiously said, "General Zhao, be careful, there might be a trap. Since Ye Qingyu dared to come, she must have something to rely on."

Zhao Yanwen said coldly, "So what if we have something to rely on? Are we just going to hide in the base every day?! This is not the kind of life I, Zhao Yanwen, want to live! Ye Qingyu isn't much better than me, but we have countless more weapons! Even if she has helpers, our army isn't to be trifled with!"

The adjutant tried to persuade him further: "But..."

But Zhao Yanwen's eyes widened, and he interrupted, shouting angrily, "Are you the general or am I the general? Are you going to rebel too?!"

The adjutant quickly shook his head, saying in a trembling voice, "General, I will go and gather all my trusted men immediately!"

soon.

The tightly closed metal gate slowly opened, and the heavy sound of machinery echoed in the silent valley.

A large group of fully armed soldiers, carrying various weapons, rushed out and quickly occupied various advantageous positions, numbering in the hundreds.

More than a dozen Mengshi assault vehicles roared out of the base gate, their heavy machine guns all aimed at Ye Qingyu.

Finally, Zhao Yanwen, fully armed and wearing a robe made of second-grade cowhide, came out, his eyes revealing ferocity and anger.

He was followed by more than twenty evolved individuals, each of whom was also on high alert.

Ye Qingyu stood still, her expression unchanged. She looked coldly at Zhao Yanwen and said, "Zhao Yanwen, I met some people who escaped from the base. They told me everything that happened inside. Humanity is on the verge of life and death. Why are you still so heartless and insane!"

Zhao Yanwen laughed loudly: "The strong prey on the weak, and only the fittest survive! Only the incompetent would think this is the end of the world! In the eyes of a strong person like me, this is the best world!"

Then, Zhao Yanwen drew a curved blade made from the claw of a level two evolved beast and said coldly, "Ye Qingyu, stop talking nonsense and let's fight! Everyone is guessing whether you or I are the strongest in the base. Today, I will prove that I am the strongest in the base!"

Ye Qingyu shook her head gently and muttered to herself, "A frog in a well, how pathetic."

Zhao Yanwen narrowed his eyes, gripped his curved blade tightly, and charged suddenly towards Ye Qingyu.

Ye Qingyu moved nimbly, dodging Zhao Yanwen's fierce attack with a light dodge.

Her gaze was calm and focused, as if she were scrutinizing Zhao Yanwen's every move.

Zhao Yanwen missed his first attack, then immediately turned around and unleashed another horizontal slash, the blade flashing.

Ye Qingyu remained calm and composed, lightly touching the ground with her toes and leaping back several meters, easily dodging the attack once again.

The two exchanged blows, and the battle quickly escalated to a fever pitch.

Zhao Yanwen unleashed his full power; his speed was extremely fast, and his moves were fierce and powerful. Each attack seemed to contain immense strength, and the sound of air being torn apart rang out continuously.

However, Ye Qingyu's strength, after drinking several bottles of gene-enhancing matrix, has far exceeded his expectations.

Her movements were fluid and graceful, allowing her to maneuver effortlessly amidst Zhao Yanwen's relentless attacks.

As the battle continued, Zhao Yanwen gradually realized that something was wrong.

He was filled with doubt and shock. Why was Ye Qingyu so strong?

Has she already broken through to become a higher-level evolved being?

No!

That's impossible!

While Zhao Yanwen was pondering in shock, and while the eyes of Zhao Yanwen's men were focused on herself and Zhao Yanwen, Ye Qingyu saw out of the corner of her eye that the Blood Woman had turned into a red light and disappeared at the base gate.

Soon, several more figures in white robes rushed in.

Ye Qingyu said calmly, "Is that all the strength you have? Well then, it's my turn to make a move."
