It was already dark, and even in the densely populated shantytown, few people were out and about at this time.

Fang Qingdai searched Zhang Chengjie's territory but couldn't find Jing Yi, so she frowned.

Jing Yi wasn't such an impulsive person. He knew his current identity was not something to be exposed, so he would definitely be more careful and avoid people.

He went outside to make room for Fang Qingdai and Xiao Mao to talk. Fang Qingdai thought he would just find a secluded place near his shack to stay.

But after searching all the hidden corners around, they still couldn't find anyone.

Jingyi doesn't have a bracelet, making communication very inconvenient. Now that he's out of contact, it's no wonder Fang Qingdai is worried.

Just as they were about to search outside Zhang Chengjie's territory, they suddenly saw a tall figure!

It was Jing Yi. He was walking towards home from a secluded spot. If Fang Qingdai hadn't come looking for him, she might not have noticed that silent figure.

Jing Yi also saw Fang Qingdai. He pointed in the direction of Fang Qingdai's shack, and the two tacitly went home first.

"Where did you go?" Fang Qingdai asked, frowning, expressing her dissatisfaction with his unauthorized actions.

Now, Fang Qingdai and her sister are in the same boat as him. If Jing Yi gets into trouble, Fang Qingdai is afraid that she and her sister will also be implicated.

Jing Yi felt somewhat apologetic, but he quickly explained, "I met with people from the Vermilion Bird Base."

Fang Qingdai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up at him: "Is it...someone from that faction?"

If they were just ordinary people from the Vermilion Bird Base, Jing Yi wouldn't need to follow them. Besides, he didn't look too good at the moment, probably because he had discovered some bad news!

"Yes, you've seen that person too. He was one of the people who threw me into the high-radiation zone before!" Jing Yi said solemnly.

Fang Qingdai felt a chill run down her spine, but also a hint of doubt.

"I didn't show myself the whole time, so they probably didn't track me down." As long as they didn't follow Fang Qingdai, Jing Yi hasn't been exposed yet.

Jing Yi nodded: "It shouldn't be that they discovered I was still alive. I followed the person for a while and saw that person go to Tian Pingwei's territory."

Tian Pingwei is the leader of the group Zhao Bin sought out Kun. He had previously gone to cause trouble with Lu Rui, which is why Jing Yi knew him.

“Tian Pingwei’s territory was heavily patrolled today, he must be discussing something important, I didn’t dare to sneak in.”

"I waited outside for a while, and when I saw the people from the Vermilion Bird Base leave Tian Pingwei's territory and enter the Black Tortoise Base, I knew I couldn't follow them, so I had to come back first."

Fang Qingdai pondered for a moment, then told Jing Yi about her speculation that Xiao Mao's mother's supernatural abilities had malfunctioned after childbirth, as well as the news she had learned from Zhang Chengjie about the disappearance of Uncle Lu's daughter.

"I initially suspected that the organization started becoming active five or six years ago based on the disappearance of Uncle Lu's daughter. But if the problem with Xiao Mao's mother's superpower is indeed related to that organization, I think that organization must have started conducting superpower transplantation experiments at least ten or twenty years ago!"

Jing Yi's face was very ugly. His features were already sharp, and now his face was gloomy. The aura of a high-level superhuman was surging and turbulent, making him look extremely oppressive.

Danger!

Fang Qingdai couldn't withstand his overwhelming aura and took a small, barely perceptible step back.

Jing Yi only snapped back to reality when he noticed Fang Qingdai's actions.

He looked at Fang Qingdai, gave a slightly apologetic tug at the corner of his lips, but the smile was very stiff and forced.

His voice was slightly hoarse: "My father's powers suddenly malfunctioned after a serious surgery!"

"It's very similar to your friend's mother's situation. First, her superpowers were cut short, and then the remaining superpowers couldn't be stored in her body. After they were lost at the speed of light, she has been in a state of deficiency ever since."

“My father…didn’t make it through; he passed away three years ago.”

If Fang Qingdai's guess is true, and that force became active so early, then Jing Yi's father's unusual behavior is probably related to that force!

Fang Qingdai swallowed hard: "What rank was your father at when the problem occurred? What was his status at the base?"

"A level six fire-type ability user, plus he has the military unit left by my grandfather, so he was appointed as the leader of the ability squad at the Vermilion Bird Base."

Fang Qingdai was completely dumbfounded: "So even the base's high-ranking officials can't escape their grasp?"

This can only mean that there are people with higher status and stronger abilities protecting them within that faction!

Surely he can't be the base manager of a base?

Fang Qingdai was about to ask Jing Yi if the base commander of the Vermilion Bird Base was a suspect when he spoke first: "I know what you're thinking. I also suspected the base commander at the time before, but..."

Jing Yi took a deep breath: "The base commander at the time came from the military and supported my father. Later, he became seriously ill and lost control of the base. My father had an accident at that point, and he passed away not long after.

Fang Qingdai blinked, unable to even force a smile.

Therefore, even if that force does not have high-ranking personnel on the surface, its actual control is far greater than that of the actual person in charge of the base.

Fang Qingdai thought of the energetic old base commander of Xuanwu Base. He was also from a military background, but he didn't seem to be able to completely control Li Weidong...

"The people from the Vermilion Bird Base have come knocking on our door, so they're probably up to something." Jing Yi frowned, looking at Fang Qingdai with a guilty expression. "I think it would be better if I left."

If Fang Qingdai's partner pretends to follow her into the base for temporary accommodation, and if Fang Qingdai is still an ordinary person, then neither she nor her partner will be subject to strict investigation, so the risk is not high.

But now that Fang Qingdai has been forced to undergo superpower certification, and in order to avoid being controlled, she is very flamboyant, so her partner will inevitably attract a lot of attention as well.

In addition, the people from the Vermilion Bird Base are currently at the Black Tortoise Base.

Jing Yi was worried that they had discovered he was still alive and brought news of him and his companions. If that happened, the Xuanwu Base would also be on high alert and thoroughly investigate unfamiliar faces.

Fang Qingdai also hesitated.

Although she pretended to be a level 5 superhuman, her actual combat ability was still very low.

The reason he was able to beat Lu Rui up was because of the stereotype of space-type ability users, which people believe that space-type ability users are not aggressive.

Lu Rui's arrogance and underestimation of his opponent led to Fang Qingdai's sneak attack.

But now that she's made a name for herself, she'll be prepared for trouble again, and Fang Qingdai will only have the chance to get beaten up.

Without Jing Yi by her side, she inevitably became hesitant and timid!

Seeing Fang Qingdai's hesitation, Jing Yi took the initiative to persuade her, "I will stay near the Xuanwu Base to make sure you can contact me at any time. If you need anything, I will come over as quickly as possible!"

Fang Qingdai sighed.

She wiped out Zhao Kun and his men in no time; if there were any real problems, she wouldn't wait for Jing Yi to arrive.

However, if Jing Yi leaves, besides the reduction in his combat strength, there are actually quite a few advantages.

First, he doesn't have to worry about his enemies coming after him all the time. Second, he can move freely with his team while he's out, and once things settle down, he can get down to business and start investigating.

Finally, he can develop a safe haven outside first!
