After the mission was over, Xiao Zhongming had a three-day holiday. The young couple went out for a stroll after breakfast.

They happened to run into Bai Qianqian and her group.

She was accompanied by a full twelve men, one of whom was Ruan Changjiang!

Ning Yan then performed a pupil earthquake on the spot.

Xiao Zhongming glanced at the person opposite him and secretly squeezed Ning Yan's hand.

Ning Yan knew there might be something fishy going on, so she glanced at it and looked away.

When Bai Qianqian saw Ning Yan's face, her smile froze for a moment.

Then their gaze fell on Xiao Zhongming.

He does look like someone who fits her aesthetic standards, but unfortunately, his position is too low. She only wants the best and most outstanding!

"Captain Ruan, are you not on a mission?"

Ruan Changjiang smiled and said, "The higher-ups put me in charge of the base's security. Two small bases in the south were besieged by zombies a few days ago, and many superhumans died."

There's a limit to the number of teams that can go out on missions lately, but your team shouldn't be affected.

Bai Qianqian raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Why wasn't she affected? Could it be that this person in front of her had something special about him?

"Is Mr. Xiao also currently working in the military?"

Xiao Zhongming didn't ignore him, saying, "He's just a company commander, nothing to mention."

Bai Qianqian instantly lost interest because Ruan Changjiang was previously the captain of the superpower team, and Ruan Changjiang's position was her minimum standard for selecting people; a mere squad leader was not worthy of her attention.

Those men who were originally wary of Xiao Zhongming also lowered their guard. This man did not meet the standards of a love rival, and Qianqian did not even look at him.

Ning Yan: ...Do these people have to make such obvious expressions? But why does it feel so funny? Actually, this is quite good. If Bai Qianqian really has her eye on her man, she wouldn't mind sending her for a stroll in the west.

Perhaps those around her sensed her emotional change, because Xiao Zhongming squeezed her hand again.

Ning Yan smiled at him, "Let's go, we won't disturb Captain Ruan's romance."

There were three people between Ruan Changjiang and Bai Qianqian, making their relationship feel like they were separated by an insurmountable distance.

Xiao Zhongming hummed in agreement and pulled Ning Yan away.

After they left, Bai Qianqian asked Ruan Changjiang, "Was that Miss Ning a superhuman?"

The two had traveled together before, but unfortunately, Bai Qianqian's mind was entirely on those men and she didn't pay any attention to Xiao Zhongming. She did see Ning Yan, but she was too jealous of Ning Yan's face, so she automatically ignored Ning Yan.

Ruan Changjiang said, "I didn't notice. She didn't seem to have killed any zombies on the way to the base. She probably doesn't have any special abilities."

That's impossible; someone without superpowers couldn't possibly be that calm.

Moreover, the Ning family seems to have an inexhaustible supply of food.

A motorhome can't hold that much stuff.

However, since they got along well and Xiao Zhongming was one of his own, he kept some things to himself.

Bai Qianqian pouted, feeling quite disgusted. She was a wood-type ability user with healing abilities, and every time her men went out to kill zombies, they would vie to take her with them because she was their safety guarantee.

It's a disaster for someone who doesn't even have superpowers to have a beautiful face.

If Xiao Zhongming leaves her, she will eventually end up like those women on the outskirts of the base, barely surviving by selling her body.

Unlike her, she is the leading lady, with nearly two hundred loyal subordinates, more than a dozen devoted men, and inexhaustible resources, enough for her to establish herself in this chaotic world and achieve great success.

Bai Qianqian's outing with her men naturally attracted a lot of attention, especially since these men were all handsome and capable. In particular, the four she recruited at the base all came from top-tier family backgrounds, which made her very proud.

Feeling happy, she took these people shopping.

Men who dress themselves up feel the most accomplished.

Moreover, luxury items that used to be expensive can now be obtained for a few thousand or eight hundred points at most, which is a piece of cake for her.

Even after leaving, Ning Yan was still thinking about Bai Qianqian.

She quietly asked Xiao Zhongming, "Is Ruan Changjiang being sent to a relationship by imperial decree?"

Xiao Zhongming pinched her little nose: "Smart!"

The two of them had already walked around outside, but they didn't go into the surrounding residential areas, nor did they want to.

I checked my points card in the lobby. Old Chen was really generous; he gave me a full two thousand points for just a few meals.

That's half a year's salary for an average person.

The two went home after leaving the lobby.

Xiao Zhongming led the person into the space before starting to talk about Bai Qianqian again.

"She was too high-profile. There were many unusual things about her, and she was watched by many people as soon as she entered the base."

Ruan Changjiang also wrote a detailed report and submitted it.

Ning Yan raised an eyebrow. Old Ruan was a really something else.

He didn't reveal their unusual behavior, so it seems we can get to know each other better in the future.

"You want what's on her?"

"The military suspects she possesses a priceless treasure."

To be honest, it's fortunate that this family keeps a low profile and has never allowed outsiders to use the spiritual spring water; they always eat the good food secretly themselves. Otherwise, they might have attracted the attention of the higher-ups.

"Ruan Changjiang was ordered to observe her closely. Once he determined what the treasure in her possession was, the higher-ups would offer her appropriate benefits to negotiate."

How did you know about this?

Xiao Zhongming smiled and said, "I forgot to mention that I think I've awakened a third superpower."

"To hear the voice of the heart? Or to hear from afar?"

"Exceptional hearing!"

This person is so blessed by God that he has awakened a third superpower. Even if it's just super hearing, it's still very useful sometimes, isn't it?

"Have you ever thought about handing over the space?"

Xiao Zhongming: "No."

"Why?"

"This is what you gave me. I only have the right to use it, not the ownership." This means that only Ning Yan has the right to decide how to dispose of the space; he has no say in it.

Ning Yan was very satisfied with the man's awareness.

Actually, if Bai Qianqian weren't around, she wouldn't object to handing over this space, but now there's another one, isn't there?

Let's just keep their little space.

During the three-day holiday, the two were inseparable. Wu Yue was getting anxious. Finally, when her son was alone, Wu Yue went to urge him to get married.

"You two are getting so affectionate, when are you planning to get married?"

"Do you think I don't want to? But we can't get our marriage certificate at the base right now. If we only have a wedding ceremony, wouldn't that be too unfair to Yan Yan?"

The base is in its initial stages of construction, and the civil affairs department intends to rebuild it, but it will likely take some time.

Moreover, the two families are not related. At most, his current subordinates can come and make a fuss. But isn't this too hasty?

Most importantly, he only had the seven thousand points he received from this mission, which meant he was practically penniless. He wanted to give her the best.

Wu Yue was persuaded to leave by her son.
