Gu Mingyue released mental interference. With a superpower level two levels higher than theirs, as long as she didn't do anything particularly illogical, she could make the people around her ignore her for three or four hours.

Everyone was exhausted and busy treating various injuries, looking after the sarcastic Wang Xuwen, and finishing off the monsters that weren't quite dead yet.

His spirits were hanging by a thread, which gave Gu Mingyue an opportunity to take advantage of him.

She also helped everyone lift the injured and carry them to a safe place, speaking gently and occasionally offering words of comfort and pleasantries.

If Wang Xuwen hadn't suddenly thought of her and called out, Gu Mingyue could have continued to blend into the group and continue to elicit information—no, to continue to offer gentle comfort!

Seeing everyone's scrutinizing gazes converge on her, Gu Mingyue naturally pulled over an uninjured superhuman and handed the stretcher she was carrying to this person whose eyes were somewhat dazed.

At this moment, two more green off-road vehicles sped back to Hope Base. They had just been sent by Jiang Huaisheng to investigate the situation near the Golden Black Domain the day before.

Gu Mingyue has been in the Black Domain for so long, and Jiang Huaisheng is worried that something bad has really happened to her.

The group got out of the off-road vehicle and saw chunks of flesh scattered all over the Hope Base. They rushed to Xu Lanyue's side in a panic and asked about their teammates' injuries.

Xu Lanyue glanced at the woman wearing the golden mask and saw her handing the wounded to the person next to her. Her actions showed no intention of threatening anyone, and Xu Lanyue felt a sense of familiarity and peace of mind for no reason.

She made a gesture of calm observation, then grabbed a person who had just returned from the vicinity of the Black Domain and walked away into the distance.

"Where's Sister Gu? Why did you suddenly come back from the vicinity of the Black Domain? We didn't see her with you. Was she injured, or did she go back to the Bright Moon Base first?"

The man he had captured finally snapped out of his grief over his teammate's death and said, "I...I didn't see Lord Gu."

"Then why did you come back early?"

Xu Lanyue gripped his hand with some force. After all, these people's mission was to bring back news of Gu Mingyue, and they had returned before completing the mission. This annoyed her, who always respected discipline and was worried about Gu Mingyue's safety.

"Deputy Captain Xu, the Black Domain has disappeared!" The man swallowed hard, dropping this bombshell.

"We searched around the Black Domain for half a day but couldn't find any news about Lord Gu. As soon as we heard that the heroes who broke through the Black Domain were two people wearing golden masks, we immediately came back to report."

"Wearing a golden mask?" Xu Lanyue repeated softly, then looked in shock at the woman surrounded by them, who wore a golden mask with a calm expression.

"Golden Mask!" Wang Xuwen was an auditory enhancer, and even though Xu Lanyue and the other person had walked away and were talking in hushed tones, he could still barely hear some important information.

He looked at Gu Mingyue with surprise and delight: "My benefactor, were you the one who broke through the Black Domain? You saved me! With a strength like yours, my dad would gladly share the entire Hope Base with you!"

In order to save his own life, he made a promise on behalf of his father without considering whether his father was willing.

Xu Lanyue looked at the woman with golden curly hair, who stood languidly in the circle of people, with a serious expression.

"Break through the Black Domain?" Upon hearing Wang Xuwen's words, all the Hope Base members around him looked at the woman with golden curly hair in disbelief.

"Is it really her? If she really broke through the Dark Domain and obtained the Crystal Source, what level of superpower must she be now?!"

The person who said this had three parts admiration and seven parts fear in their eyes, and slowly took a small step back.

Having just finished fighting the humanoid monster, he simply didn't have the energy to fight against this kind of superhuman with extraordinary abilities who could conquer the Black Domain next year!

When Gu Mingyue was helping to treat the wounded, she found out the general process of how the leader of Hope Base was replaced.

She knew everything about how Jiang Huaisheng had his credit stolen by Wang Shi and how he was imprisoned in the outer city.

It must be said that Grandpa Jiang is honest and kind, but he is too unguarded, which makes her a little disappointed!

Furthermore, there were some problems with the task allocation at Hope Base, which led to deep conflicts between people with superpowers and ordinary people. This was the primary reason why he lost the support of most people with superpowers.

"That's right, I did break through that dark domain!" Gu Mingyue said very frankly. She couldn't hide it, nor did she want to. She still needed to seize crystal sources, and it would be too troublesome to cover up each one!

"Hahaha, did you hear that? My savior is the hero who broke through the first Black Domain. Hurry up and release me, she can kill you all by herself."

Wang Xuwen laughed arrogantly, as if his own mother was the first to obtain the crystal source!

Jiang Shenglin entered the inner city with a high-frequency sonic cannon to clear out the monsters, while Jiang Huaisheng calmed his raging anger and slowly descended from the tower.

"I was standing on the tower just now and saw you, hero, helping to save many wounded people."

"Your supernatural abilities are so powerful, yet you still personally stepped in to help. You are a heroine, and your kindness is truly admirable..."

He showered her with praise, making himself blush with embarrassment, but he had to say it to maintain the situation and for the safety of those around him.

“You’re new to Hope Base, so there might be some things you don’t know yet. Xiao Xu, take the hero to a clean place and we’ll treat him well. Don’t neglect the hero.” He gave Xu Lanyue a look.

Xu Lanyue immediately guessed Jiang Huaisheng's thoughts and smiled obsequiously at the woman wearing the golden mask opposite her.

Since this person dared to admit in front of so many people at Hope Base that she was the one who broke through the Black Domain, she could never be lying!

Moreover, the fact that someone can save people in such a harsh post-apocalyptic environment shows that they are kind-hearted and not unreasonable.

Find a place to explain things to her clearly. Even if she doesn't side with them, she certainly won't be an accomplice to evil.

"My benefactor, don't go with them! They are traitors... Save me!" Wang Xuwen cried out in desperation when he saw that Gu Mingyue still wouldn't help, and he couldn't help but utter profanities.

"I fucking order you to come and save me! Do you think breaking through the Dark Domain is something special? My dad is the most powerful. If you don't save me, do you think you can defeat thousands of superhumans? Waaah... come... save me, uh-huh."

Li Hao pulled a tattered piece of cloth covered in minced meat and dirt from the ground and stuffed it into Wang Xuwen's mouth. Then, he stood in front of Wang Xuwen and flashed eight perfect white teeth at Gu Mingyue, who was wearing a mask: "Hehe, hero, I admire you so much! Take care, hero!"

Gu Mingyue looked at their eager manner, but they were all pretending to be calm, afraid that she would suddenly side with Wang Shi and call her a hero so often that she would feel embarrassed.

Gu Mingyue smiled and slowly removed her mask.

Everyone else who saw her action stopped making a sound and curiously craned their necks to look in front of her.
