Chapter 17 Chapter 17 In the inner room, Si Ruxu felt...

In the inner room, Si Ruxu felt a familiar supernatural power sneaking in, and a smile appeared on her lips. Through the surveillance screen, she could see Si Qi, who was surrounded, with a face that seemed to be distracted.

After giving instructions for the massacre, the base commander followed Si Ruxu's gaze and saw Si Qi sitting there like a well-behaved puppy.

"You mean there was a mole in the base who wanted to frame you and get rid of you, but she saved you halfway."

"Um."

"I have checked her information since you entered the base. A few months ago, she was just an ordinary person without any special abilities. She just happened to go out on a mission the day before the zombie siege. How do you explain this?" The base commander narrowed his narrow eyes and looked at Si Ruxu.

"It's hard for me to explain right away." Si Ruxu looked at the base commander, her aura undiminished, as if she were looking through him. "But Si Qi is useful. You should understand how special and powerful her spatial abilities are."

It is almost invincible.

If the supply continues, if Si Qi evolves to the seventh level and breaks through to a more powerful level, it may be a variable that brings about the end of the world.

The man seemed to have thought of this. His fingers tapped lightly on the metal table. The interval between each tap was short and rapid, which made Si Ruxu inexplicably irritated.

Here she goes again. Si Ruxu lowered her head, her eyes cold with ice.

The base commander was silent for a moment, then spoke again, "So, what do you think about letting Si Qi lead a team independently and become the seventh core leader of the base?"

The surroundings suddenly became silent. Si Ruxu looked at the man, slightly raised her lips, and revealed a very faint smile, but there was no emotion in the smile.

The base recruited only those who were loyal to the base, while the squads were loyal to the captain personally. It was rare for her to be so openly poached.

"You're definitely not willing to give up such a talented person, but you also know that the base has lost over 2,000 psychics and is in dire need of combat power. How about we ask her opinion and let her make her own decision?"

When Si Ruxu heard this, she looked at the man in front of her with a smile on her face. He was talking nicely, but he was actually trying to use coercion and inducement.

She took a deep breath, stood up without saying a word, and walked outside, with the familiar supernatural power following closely behind her.

After leaving the inner room, the people outside saw Si Ruxu's cold face and knew that the deal had not been settled. They were silent until the man walked out of the inner room, step by step steadily, with the aura of a superior.

He looked at Si Qi, as if expressing appreciation to a younger person. "I've already understood your situation. You are indeed a very talented person. Now you can serve as the seventh leader of the base and form your own core team. All the resources of the base are at your disposal."

Si Qi looked at Si Ruxu, but the woman didn't look at her or speak.

She did hear the conversation in the inner room, but Si Ruxu did not refute it at that time. Now, does he want her to work for the base?

Is this the reason for bringing her back?

Si Qi's heart sank. He looked at the base commander, feeling inexplicably irritated. "Whoever wants to be in charge can be in charge."

The base commander's amiable smile froze. He looked at Si Qi in disbelief. "Do you know how quickly you'll improve if all the base's supplies are at your disposal? You'll have the highest authority and status."

Si Qi ignored him, and he took a step further, trying to grab Si Qi's arm.

The moment he met Si Qi, he teleported to the other end of the room. It was the first time that several core figures in the base saw Si Qi truly use his supernatural powers. Their expressions were different.

The base commander's expression twisted with anger for a few seconds before finally calming down. "Then tell me, what do you want?"

Si Ruxu leaned lazily against the counter. She always enjoyed watching the show where a popular base commander was trying to win over someone else. This arrogant old man, who still cared about power in the apocalypse, should be thrown out.

But he was very strong, just how strong no one knew. All they knew was that during the Beast Tide a year ago, he single-handedly held up the base, which hadn't even developed yet. Everyone respected him, even though he had thrown ordinary people out to serve as a wall of flesh a few months earlier.

Si Qi looked at Si Ruxu and caught a glimpse of the faint smile on the woman's lips. She became even angrier and pointed at Si Ruxu, "I want to join her team."

The head of the base almost gasped. Young people really can never tell good from bad. Si Ruxu is like that, and so is Si Qi. He could only laugh and say, "You like being with Xiaoxu, right? That's fine too. We're all contributing to the base anyway."

Si Qi frowned, "Who said I want to contribute to the base? I already said when I came in that I am only loyal to Si Ruxu."

Si Qi secretly labeled the base commander as "stupid". Why was he playing word games at such an old age?

Si Ruxu finally had enough of the show and casually patted her clothes. As soon as she left, Si Qi followed behind her. Before leaving the core area, she looked back at the people who were looking at each other in confusion.

"As you all have seen, I brought Si Qi back. The base needs to find its own talent." She chuckled. "Besides, if what the base does goes against its original intention and is no longer for the future of mankind, then - we are no longer on the same path."

Si Ruxu finished speaking and walked out without looking back. Si Qi hurriedly followed her and walked to Si Ruxu's side and asked quietly, "Have you discovered anything? Why do you say that the base has violated its original intention?"

"It's just a guess now, hush, I'll tell you when we get home." Si Qi nodded and followed him halfway when he realized that he was angry.

After thinking about it, she felt that it would be too cowardly to just let it go, so she deliberately kicked a stone on the roadside. The sound was very loud, which attracted Si Ruxu to look at her sideways.

"Did it irritate you?" The voice was very soft, like coaxing a child.

"No." Si Qi answered truthfully, then looked into Si Ruxue's eyes, "If I had agreed to the base commander's request at that time, would we have really separated?"

Si Qi didn't intend to say so many roundabout things. After not communicating with humans for a long time, she had barely maintained the ability to communicate. She just looked at Si Ruxu.

Watching those amber eyes rolling with smoke, watching the iceberg in her eyes slowly melt into a pool of spring water, watching the cold eyes become gentle.

"No, I will snatch you back, just like I did just now, and take you away directly. We are each other's partners, not the base." Si Ruxu said this, and she silently swallowed the rest of the sentence.

In fact, if there was no traitor in the base, and if she told the base commander that there was a traitor when she was called into the inner room, and the base commander asked for details immediately and emphasized that he would definitely catch the traitor, she would let Si Qi lead a team alone.

This would maximize the benefits for both humanity and the base, but something went wrong with the base, and she didn't even know if she could stay in the current base.

So she deliberately concealed Si Qi's second ability and the fact that she was injured. However, the base commander's attitude was ambiguous. He was not as kind and respectful as before.

It is up to the psychics to join any base at their own will, so most bases will be very polite to high-level psychics, but the base commander obviously was not that polite just now, so she was not sure whether those people knew that they were injured, or if they knew but were not sure whether they had recovered.

After all, she had a supernatural aura and she was still alive.

As for the so-called ultimate weapon of the base, Si Ruxu felt the intact, motionless object in the space. She never doubted what was inside.

Seeing Si Ruxu's thoughtful expression, Si Qi suppressed the little excitement in his heart and said in a gentle and soothing voice, "When the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. It doesn't matter. If it really doesn't work, I will take you out. I am very powerful."

Si Qi's eyes curved into a smile. This was the first time she had said this to someone else. It turned out this was what it felt like to completely abandon the label of being a weak person.

In her sight, Si Ruxu also looked at her with a smile, nodded slightly, and responded gently: "Well, I believe you."

Si Qi followed Si Ruxu back home in a daze. It was not a dirty, dilapidated and smelly house of his own, but a very clean, tidy and large house, like an apartment building before the end of the world.

There is a shower room, a light screen, and a balcony. Warm sunlight shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, as if there is no apocalypse, no zombies outside, and no natural disasters.

"Living in an environment like this, is it really not possible to have a sense of peace and stability, a sense of not having the end of the world?"

Si Qi turned around and looked at Si Ruxu who was already sunken into the sofa.

Si Ruxu looked up at her, knowing that what she wanted to say was that people are born in hardship and die in comfort, but she had no such concerns.

"Come here." Si Ruxu waved at the puppy, and as expected, the puppy immediately came over. Then Si Ruxu whispered to her to come closer, "Hmm..."

The next moment, Si Qi was surrounded by a fragrance. Before she could react, the woman hooked her hands around her neck and pulled her down. Her heart skipped a beat as she looked at the face so close to her.

Moving her eyes downwards, she saw the moist red lips with a slight smile. She wanted to kiss them, she wanted to kiss them very much. A surge of desire rose in Si Qi's heart, urging her to taste the red flavor.

Until Si Ruxu called her name in a low voice, "Come, lie down beside me."

Si Qi's eyes darkened, but he obediently slept on the side. Where she couldn't see, Si Ruxu tightly held Si Qi's fingers, which were still warm from his body.

"Most of the time we are on missions, so there are not many times when we can feel comfortable like this. Let's enjoy it as much as possible." Si Ruxu looked fine, as if she had never noticed the heat when Si Qi looked at her lips.

Si Qi nodded. The sofa was indeed comfortable. Fatigue eventually prevailed and she fell into a deep sleep.

Si Ruxu looked at Si Qi's sleeping face, and the corners of her lips felt slightly hot.
