On the phone, Shi Jiu's message suddenly appeared, and the bright words on it caught the eye.

"Mr. Yan, have you found anything in the past two days?"

His fingers moved slightly, but then he thought of something. After struggling for a long time, he still didn't pick up the phone, and let the screen light up and then turn off automatically.

Finally, he stood up, without even looking at his phone, and walked out of the yard and headed towards Yan Ping's residence. However, as soon as he arrived, he was stopped by someone at the door. His brother was inside.

He was not angry, but just looked calmly at the person who stopped him at the door and asked, "Why can't I go in?"

"The leader...he said before that no one can enter when he and Mr. Yan are in there." The person at the door said nervously.

Yan Yue took a look inside and said calmly, "You go and inform them. I'll be waiting outside."

After that, he stood aside and said nothing more.

The two people at the door looked at each other, and one of them went in. After waiting for a few minutes, he saw Yan Qing coming out. This was the first time he looked at this adopted brother directly.

His background was not glorious. After his mother found out she was pregnant, she hid it secretly. She only brought the baby home after giving birth, which made his mother very angry. The age difference between the two was only a few months at most.

In the end, his mother was filled with resentment and died after a serious illness. Of course, before she passed away, she dragged that woman into the water. Perhaps his father was also involved in this. Who made that woman deceive him? Maybe he had postponed her punishment only for the sake of the child.

What a vulgar story, Yan Yue thought as he looked at Yan Qing. He inherited his mother's good looks and had a delicate appearance, but he couldn't hide the harshness on his face. He must have learned it completely from his mother.

"Hey, big brother, how come you're free to come over today? I don't see you often."

Yan Qing felt relieved when he looked at Yan Yue, who had almost no power in the base. He had always been suppressed by his brother in the past. Even when his mother was alive, she had always compared him to her since he was a child.

He always asks why he can't be better. If he is better, he can kick Yan Yue out and inherit his father's position in the future.

Later, after his mother passed away, no one took care of him. He took the money and lived a life of luxury. Anyway, as long as Yan Ping was alive, he could live a carefree life.

After the end of the world, he unexpectedly got the opportunity to show his talents. His father, who had never paid much attention to him, also came to him, and he could command more and more people in the base.

Looking back at this once outstanding brother, he is now so useless, not to mention that he has activated special abilities and is a big step ahead of Yan Yue.

"I don't think there is any need for us to meet." Yan Yue felt sick when he thought of what he had done. He didn't want to be a good person, but chose to be a beast.

When Yan Qing saw the disgust in his eyes, he felt even happier. He didn't expect that Yan Yue would be jealous of him one day. He was about to say something else proudly, but Yan Yue didn't look at him again and strode inside.

"Hmph, I will definitely step on you." Seeing that he ignored him like that, Yan Qing swore hatefully in his heart and left. There were fewer people he could control recently, so he had to look for more.

Yan Yue had a lot to say when he walked into the inner room, but when he got closer and saw Yan Ping leisurely pouring himself a cup of warm tea, for some reason, his throat seemed to be blocked.

After a long time, he managed to utter a few words with difficulty, "Do you know what he did?"

The air was almost frozen, but Yan Ping did not stop making tea, even in this cold weather, when supplies were scarce, and in this apocalypse.

Yan Yue sneered, "Right, you're together every day, what's there that you don't know? So you just acquiesce to his animalistic behavior?"

Yan Yue did not deny that he was indeed a playboy and flirted with women in his daily life, but he was not a scumbag. If he liked someone, he really liked them, and if he didn't love them anymore, he really didn't love them anymore. He was honest enough and always parted ways amicably in relationships.

After the end of the world, he activated his special powers and gained some self-protection ability. On weekdays, he would go out with a few people to fight zombies. He really didn't want to care about the things in the base. What Yan Qing wanted to prove here had nothing to do with him.

But on this matter, he really couldn't agree.

After hearing his last words, Yan Ping finally spoke, "You beast? What food and drink did you eat in the base that wasn't scavenged like this? Do you really think you can support the entire base by relying on those people to go out and fight zombies and find supplies?"

Yan Yue finally heard his explanation, but the content still made him so disappointed.

"The base relies on these lootings? When have I not been out looking for supplies? Most of the things I use, I found them myself. Wasn't everything in the base built by so many people working together? As a leader, besides talking about it, have you really experienced this apocalypse?"

"Are you doing that for yourself or for the base? Why would you go and steal other people's things, even imprisoning them, and do something like that?"

"You are fucking perverts!" Yan Yue roared in a low voice, suppressing his anger.

Ever since he accidentally walked into that place yesterday and heard what was happening inside, he has been constantly wondering if there was something wrong with his eyes, or if he had accidentally walked into some kind of illusion.

However, all these fantasies were shattered in the conversation just now.

From Yan Ping's words, he felt his contempt for most of the survivors in the base and his indifference to life. He should have thought about it yesterday when he was at the villa. He had always loved himself and did everything for himself. The base was just a by-product of what he did.

Seeing how excited he was, Yan Ping became calmer. "What did you see?"

Yan Yue stared at him with red eyes. When he thought about what they had done in there, he felt disgusted because his genes also flowed in him.

"I saw everything. You locked those women up, abused them, and tortured them in all kinds of ways. Are you all so mentally disturbed?"

He finally told what he saw, but he didn't expect Yan Ping opposite him to frown slightly, and a change appeared on his face for the first time.

Yan Ping's expression was a little strange, but he still stared at Yan Yue, "So? Who are you going to tell? The owner of that villa? Don't be silly, there are so many people in our base, how dare she come over?"

"Besides, even if she comes, what can she do to me?" Yan Ping called over two psychics, "You should just stay in the yard for the time being."

He knew that the collapse of the other two bases in City B was related to the boss. It was just that they provoked him and the boss fought back. He didn't do anything, so what reason did the other party have to come?

"You!" Yan Yue didn't expect Yan Ping's methods to be so brutal. "So, everything Yan Qing did was instructed by you?"

Facing Yan Yue's angry eyes, Yan Ping felt no guilt at all. "It was just profitable, so I just took advantage of the situation and pushed it forward."

After hearing this, Yan Yue no longer had any hope for this so-called father, nor did he resist the people on both sides from capturing him.

"Then we really have nothing to talk about." Yan Yue's inner struggle finally turned into complicated emotions. He once tried to understand Yan Ping in family matters, and later tried to understand him in his career. Finally, at this point, he found that there were really differences between people. Even between father and son, he would never be able to understand such things.

As he left, he didn't even turn around, saying in a cold tone, "You said before that the base survived so well thanks to those supplies. I beg to differ. Everything I used was found by myself. Even the supplies you were given were redeemed by the survivors using points earned through their own labor. So, your so-called excuse has nothing to do with it. Don't use it to justify yourself."

"Extremely despicable."

After saying this, Yan Yue ignored the two people beside him and strode away from this place that made him feel extremely disgusted.

Yan Ping has been struggling in society for so many years and has long developed a heart of stone. Even if Yan Yue is his son, these words will not move him. The word selfish has long been engraved in his bones. Perhaps Yan Yue is right, he is just using the banner of the base to satisfy his own selfish desires.

He looked up at the luxurious decoration in the room, which was no different from before the apocalypse. He was dismissive of Yan Yue's words. However, what he had just said...

After pondering for a long time, he waved Yan Qing to come again, as he had something else to ask.

Yan Qing, who originally wanted to go to a secret place, was called back halfway. He was still a little confused, but as soon as he entered the door, he was greeted with a slap in the face.

"Pa~" The crisp sound of slapping echoed throughout the room. Yan Qing covered his face, still a little confused.

"Father, what...what happened?" I suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You know what you've done." Yan Ping's cold voice came, "I told you to get the supplies and get rid of the people or arrange for them to leave. What did you do?"

When Yan Qing heard this, he knew that what he had done was exposed. When he thought of Yan Yue who had just come over, he couldn't help but grit his teeth.

"Father! I did this for a reason! This... after the apocalypse, the daily pressure of building our base was huge. Later, I found that... that one was more effective. Besides, this person had to be dealt with in the end, so I took advantage of it..."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but look up at Yan Ping. Seeing that his expression was still icy, he hurriedly added, "Weren't the subordinates quite irritable at first? They were in a bad mood. Now the effect is obvious. The pressure is not so great now, and finding supplies is much faster. The base is getting better and better."

Yan Qing thought quickly and attributed all the recent changes in the base to this, and also mentioned the supplies that Yan Ping valued most.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Yan Ping's expression softened. "If it really has such an effect, then it's not bad. Be careful next time to avoid being discovered."

Yan Qing didn't dare to say that the stronghold he had secretly built in the villa area had been destroyed. There were few people left in the base, and due to the weather, he couldn't trick anyone else into coming. In the past two days, he had lost several subordinates.

He forced himself to respond with a few words, not daring to say that he had been discovered before.

Yan Ping did not continue to ask him these questions. He waved his hand and let Yan Qing leave. As long as it was beneficial to the base or his future development, he would not interfere too much.

Just looking at the departing figure, I thought of Yan Yue just now. As expected... they were not born from the same mother, and the difference between them is so big.

Yan Yue returned to his yard and saw that the door was immediately guarded by several people. He had chosen this yard because of its privacy, but now there was only one exit and no escape.

However, Yan Ping still didn't know him well enough, or rather, didn't know the villa well enough.

He picked up his phone, looked at the message from Shi Jiu, and smiled self-deprecatingly. Could this be considered putting justice above his own?

"Boss, there's news about the gang you asked me to investigate."
