After Lu Hengyi left, Ye Yunxi looked at the box on the ground and squatted down to sort out the medicinal herbs.

Xuan Yu and Fu Heng also went to help tidy up.

A few minutes later, Lu Hengyi returned and looked at Ye Yunxi and the others.

"Gu Qingqing and Zhang Haiyi just got up not long ago and are having breakfast now. I've already told them, and they said they'll come over after they finish breakfast."

Ye Yunxi nodded. Speaking of breakfast, they had just gotten up and hadn't eaten yet.

"Alright, let's have some breakfast first, and then we can tidy up together when they arrive."

Lu Hengyi nodded and went back to his room to get some food.

Fu Heng and Xuan Yu also went back to their room to get food. They knew that there were outsiders present, so they couldn't take food from their spatial storage and could only eat the dry rations they had brought themselves.

Not long after the group finished breakfast, Gu Qingqing and Zhang Haiyi arrived.

Xuan Yu ran to open the door, greeted them, and invited them in.

Gu Qingqing greeted Ye Yunxi with a smile.

"Good morning, Sister Yunxi! We're here to help again."

"Good morning, then we'll leave it to you. After we're done, we'll give Commander Zhao a good scare and ask him for more."

Ye Yunxi thought about making so many potions, and once they were finished, she would try to make a fortune from Chief Zhao.

"Okay, let's work hard and make more, and then ask Chief Zhao for more gold."

Gu Qingqing became interested upon hearing what Wuxi said. "He wants gold? Then I can ask for more for Sister Yunxi."

Fu Heng and the others smiled but didn't say anything.

The group started working. Ye Yunxi, Gu Qingqing, and Zhang Jing were in charge of making the potion, while the other men distributed the medicinal materials and helped the ladies carry the materials. The finished potion was then put into the medicine box.

They worked tirelessly and focused on their tasks. Li Yan even came to check on them to see if they needed any help, but Fu Heng refused.

They said there were enough people here. As long as Li Yan took some people to wander around the Sixth Base and observe more, they could see if something like what happened at the Fifth Base would happen.

The day passed quickly, and they only ate one meal in the middle, which was delivered by Assistant Wang.

They said that the base would take care of Ye Yunxi and the others' food, and they only needed to make potions. They could also make any requests.

They were all a bit tired, so they stopped to rest for about an hour. Then they started working again.

Three days have passed, and Ye Yunxi and her team have produced more than two boxes of potion, enough to last a long time. However, they can cooperate with the First Base.

After resting for a while, they began making other powders that could be used to deal with other creatures.

The process of making this powder was a bit difficult, but fortunately, Ye Yunxi kept thinking and finally succeeded.

He handed over every last bit of the medicinal powder he had developed to Gu Qingqing and Zhang Jing.

This time it took three days to make two boxes of medicine powder, which is more than enough.

Ye Yunxi and the others discussed it and decided to stay for another day. If the mutated rats did not arrive, they would return to the first base.

They've been out for over a week now, the longest they've ever been out.

After dinner, they sat down to rest and chat.

Gu Qingqing looked at Ye Yunxi with great gratitude and said.

"Sister Yunxi, thank you for these past few days. You have a better talent for medicine than I do. You taught Zhang Jing and me everything that Master taught us about making medicine. We have learned a lot from you."

Zhang Jing echoed this sentiment.

"Yes, I've only just started studying medicine myself. I never expected that after coming out with you, Yunxi would be willing to teach me how to make medicine. I'm really grateful to you."

Ye Yunxi looked at the two of them and said with a smile.

"It's only right. You are all my friends, and you have helped me a lot. I'm just passing on the knowledge my master taught me to you."

Even if multiple people study medicine and then go their separate ways, they'll still have a skill.

"Break up? How could we break up? We're going to stay together forever. We've known each other for almost two years now, how can we break up so easily?"

When Gu Qingqing heard Ye Yunxi say the word "separate," she immediately retorted.

The others echoed Gu Qingqing's sentiments. Ye Yunxi simply smiled and didn't say anything more.

Only she knew that all good things must come to an end, and in this apocalyptic world, who knew what tomorrow would bring?

Just as they were chatting, they suddenly heard shouts outside, loud cries for help.

Ye Yunxi and the others exchanged glances, and Fu Heng frowned and said something.

"Something's wrong! There's trouble at the base! Let's grab our weapons and go down there to investigate."

Everyone picked up their weapons and were about to open the door and go down when they heard a knock on the door.

Zhang Haiyi was nearby, so he went over to open the door and saw that it was Li Yan.

Seeing the door open, Li Yan anxiously spoke to them.

"Quick, let's go down and help! A lot of mutated rats have come to the base, it's like an outbreak. They're biting anyone they see."

Without waiting for their reply, Li Yan rushed downstairs to help.

Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng followed closely behind, and Yunzi also went with them.

As soon as they came down, they saw a dark mass of mutated rats.

Seeing this scene, Ye Yunxi was also shocked. She didn't expect so many mutated rats to come today. Without hesitation, she quickly raised her gun and fired at the mutated rats.

"Help! It hurts so much!"

"Don't bite me! No!"

"Help! Please help me!"

The base was filled with shouts. Ye Yunxi and the others were helpless; there were simply too many mutated rats to eliminate them all at once.

Ye Yunxi and her group frantically attacked the mutated rat in front of them. Yunzi joined in, using its teeth to bite off half of the rat, then its front paws to strike, using every trick in the book.

At this moment, Zhao, the base commander, also raised his gun and joined in the attack on the mutated rats. He ordered his men to use the potion made by Ye Yunxi, and even the powdered medicine.

Soon, the number of mutated rats in the base building decreased significantly.

Ye Yunxi and her team kept fighting and rescuing people, and eventually, most of the mutated rats at their location died.

They pressed on and continued fighting the mutated rats.

Assistant Wang led a group of people to rescue the residents of the base. Soldiers from their First Base also went along to help.

Finally, they had almost wiped out their enemies, so they quickly finished off the rest and headed to the next location to rescue people.

This was no peaceful night; no one expected so many mutated rats to suddenly appear.

Although some people were saved, many were injured, and some were eaten to death.

Thanks to Ye Yunxi and her team's tireless efforts, they finally eliminated most of the mutated rats an hour later. A few escaped, but they did not pursue them.

Many people in the base were injured and needed medical treatment and bandaging. It wasn't just the people from the Sixth Base who were injured; soldiers from the First Base were also injured, but they were all minor injuries and would recover in a couple of days.
