Du Zhen understood; Xia Chuhe was rejecting her invitation.

Du Zhen couldn't understand it. Did Xia Chuhe really have a better place to go than the Sacred Flame Meow Meow Legion?

Mutants registered with the North Tiger Base will be subject to strict scrutiny and surveillance even when they go to other bases. Rather than suffering in the base, they'd rather be a carefree mercenary.

However, since Xia Chuhe did not elaborate on where he would go in the future, Du Zhen wisely refrained from discussing it further.

She then turned to talk about what happened after she separated from Xia Chuhe.

After Xia Chuhe and Lu Dangui left, Du Zhen and the others went to check the lake again, but the Megalodon was still there. They didn't have any high-powered weapons or long-distance fishing gear, so they decided to try their luck back at the snow hut.

As a result, they ran into the reserve army who had just entered the dungeon in the snow house. Before they could even exchange a few words, the dungeon collapsed.

Xia Chuhe, in return, briefly recounted what he had seen and heard in the woods.

"Can you tell me what the core of the dungeon is? I can buy it with points." Du Zhen lowered his stance.

Xia Chuhe's gaze swept over the little girl.

In fact, she wasn't sure what the core of the dungeon was either.

The two most important things she brought out of the copy were her mother's sachet and the little girl.

The sachet had already been taken to the farm by Xia Chuhe, but the little girl was exposed to everyone.

However, Xia Chuhe was unwilling to say that the girl was the core of the instance, fearing that someone might harm her.

Xia Chuhe decided to tell the truth: "I don't know, really."

Du Zhen didn't press her any further.

Xia Chuhe inquired about the nearest base to the abandoned safe house and learned that, besides the Northern Tiger Base, the closest was the Caishi Base. She wanted to find a base first to get a clear picture of the situation.

Du Zhen and his group also wanted to return to the base, so the two groups decided to continue traveling together.

...

Meanwhile, at the Siberian Tiger Base.

Dongfang Rui, the intermediate-level manager of the base, received the pictures sent by Wang Li.

The photos were taken in an abandoned safe house, and they show Xia Chuhe, Lu Dangui, and the girl.

Wang Li: She's a mutant expelled from the Northern Tiger Base. The people in the Holy Fire Meow Meow Legion call her Chu Yuxun. Check if there's anything wrong with that.

Dongfang Rui entered the picture and name into the database, and the database displayed information about Lu Danggui.

Seven years ago, I joined the Northern Tiger Base as an evolved being.

For the first five years, I undertook non-classified work at the base. This included garbage sorting, raising devil worms, cultivating mushrooms, processing mushroom powder, and extracting inorganic salts...

After passing the assessment, they become members of the reserve force.

However, just four days ago, Lu Dangui voluntarily handed over all his supplies, withdrew from the reserve army, and left the North Tiger Base.

However, the database shows that no such person can be found regarding the other person's information.

Dongfang Rui thought for a moment, then deleted the name and only used the image.

Sure enough, another person's information popped up. Looking at the two people's information side-by-side, Dongfang Rui discovered some interesting coincidences.

She also entered the North China Tiger Base seven years ago and was expelled from the base four days ago.

During the seven years they spent together at the base, they had no contact whatsoever.

Her parents worked on a farm for the upper class and accidentally lost their lives after soiling their employers' food.

The useless daughter was spared and thrown into the nearest North Tiger breeding base.

She was not an evolved being, and her assigned job was to grow mushrooms. She did this job for seven years.

Her name is not Chu Yuxun.

...

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is not Chu Yuxun, but Xia Chuhe."

Su Ye narrowed her eyes: "Really? You said the same thing to the little dwarf before. You said, my name isn't Hey, it's Chu Yuxun."

Xia Chuhe: ...Believe it or not.

Du Zhen was already numb. This man rarely spoke the truth, so she could call him whatever she wanted.

Du Zhen tapped a few times on his wristwatch and brought up the route: "There's a station nearby. The route leads to the Colored Stone Base. Let's go."

Xia Chuhe was quite interested; when playing games, he always teleported directly. Now he could actually experience the vehicles of transportation in the wasteland firsthand.

Won't you encounter sandstorms while driving on the wasteland?

Braving the wind and sand, the group headed to the station.

Normally, mercenaries would wear specific clothing when traversing the wasteland. However, Du Zhen and the others' equipment was buried with Pan Sheng in the snow hut, so they had to resort to a near-naked approach.

After walking for about an hour, a vertical four-wheeled vehicle icon appeared on the ground.

Du Zhen groped his way to the metal door, lifted it, and went underground.

The station was dimly lit.

Xia Chuhe was surprised to find that she could actually see in the dark.

Previously in the dungeon, although it was dark when working at night, Xia Chuhe did not notice that he had night vision because the snow apes kept the fire burning and he was on high alert.

She looked at Du Zhen and the others. They seemed to have no discomfort after entering the underground area and appeared to have night vision as well.

After walking up a long staircase, we entered a small room where two burly men in uniforms were inside.

Their uniforms were similar in style to those of the Reserve Army, but the color was closer to that of yellow sand.

The burly man asked, "What model of car? When was the map taken?"

Du Zhen replied, "Medium-sized. The map was updated a month ago."

"The deposit is 3,600 yuan, with refunds for any overpayment and additional payments for any underpayment."

Du Zhen's wristwatch bumped against the big man's.

Xia Chuhe noticed for a moment that Du Zhen's masseter muscles bulged out on his face.

This station wasn't what she expected. She didn't even ask about the final destination; they just took her money directly. And the ticket seemed very expensive.

Emerging from the other side of the small room, there is a huge garage containing three different car models.

Large, medium and small.

All three types of vehicles are long and slender; even the larger vehicles are longer but not wider.
