Reborn Before the Apocalypse: Hoarding Billions of Resources

A super-widespread meteor shower descended upon Blue Star, reshuffling existing scientific laws. Various monsters arrived on Earth with the black rain, alongside the unknown black domains formed af...

Chapter 169 The Church of Angels

Gu Mingyue looked at Su Xiaoyu, who came out to greet them, her eyes slightly red, and she suddenly felt a little flustered.

After dismissing all the team members who had gone out, he pulled Su Xiaoyu aside and asked, "Su Xiaoyu, what happened at the base?"

"Where's Wei Jianguo? I remember he used to be the one who commanded the city gate guards. Why didn't I see him in the welcoming party?"

When Su Xiaoyu heard Gu Mingyue ask Wei Jianguo, her eyes, hidden behind her thick glasses, reddened even more. She looked up, her voice trembling slightly.

"Boss, after you left, someone released a virus at the Bright Moon Base. Old Wei was infected, and even the healing ability users in the team can't save him. He's coughing up blood every day, I'm afraid..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Mingyue's face instantly turned anxious.

He said to Xinghe, "The humanoid monster's lair that I just raided turned out to be a virus research center. Xinghe, go and take the virus samples and serum from the space to the laboratory to see if we can find a way to fight the virus."

Then he took Su Xiaoyu's hand and said, "Take me to see Uncle Wei's condition. Maybe he can still be saved!"

From Junyue Prefecture to now occupying most of Black Tiger City, the number of people in the base has increased a thousandfold. Without Wei Jianguo's help, she alone could not have built the Bright Moon Base so well.

Gu Mingyue did not want her capable assistant to die from the insidious and self-destructive methods among humans.

Upon hearing Gu Mingyue's words, Su Xiaoyu quickly wiped away the tears that were about to overflow from her eyes.

Before the apocalypse, she was just an ordinary homebody. It was only by following Gu Mingyue that she evolved into a level three superhuman. She had only a superficial understanding of management matters.

She usually relies on Wei Jianguo's help to avoid being overwhelmed. But this time, with Gu Mingyue gone and Wei Jianguo falling ill from the virus, she panicked for a long time and couldn't sleep for nights on end.

While worrying about the boss's safety while he was away, they were also concerned about whether Wei Jianguo's health could hold up.

He could usually manage to appear mature and composed in front of others, but when he saw Gu Mingyue return, he almost broke down in tears.

But Gu Mingyue didn't give her time to shed tears. She immediately ordered her to lead the way and asked her many questions about the base's interior along the way.

Her anxious heart gradually calmed down as Gu Mingyue spoke calmly and rationally.

As she walked along the road, looking at Gu Mingyue's exquisite profile, her admiration for her grew even stronger.

She used to just think that her boss looked cool and stylish when she killed monsters! Plus, she was so good-looking, she couldn't help but admire her!

She now realizes that her boss's first reaction to any problem is never to react negatively.

She always analyzes things calmly and immediately comes up with solutions, unlike her who panics after only managing the Bright Moon Base for a few days and secretly cries at night.

As Gu Mingyue walked along the road, she sensed that Su Xiaoyu's loyalty to her had reached a perfect score of 100 on the loyalty display device in the space.

She didn't have time to be happy. She followed Su Xiaoyu to the entrance of the isolated hospital in the base, put on protective clothing, and went to open the room where Wei Jianguo was staying.

Before leaving, Wei Jianguo was full of energy, but now he had become much thinner and looked sickly.

He seemed very excited to see Gu Mingyue return, as if he had a lot to say, but his mouth was covered by a respirator.

Gu Mingyue steadied his shoulder with her hand, indicating that everything inside the Mingyue base was normal and there was nothing to worry about.

"I heard that you isolated the infected members immediately after the incident, which saved more members in the base from the virus."

"Uncle Wei, don't worry. The humanoid monster's lair that I broke into this time was a virus research center. There are many virus serums there, and there's bound to be one that can save you. Take care of yourself."

After hearing this, Wei Jianguo lay on his hospital bed and nodded slightly, indicating that he would try his best.

Gu Mingyue did not stay too long, fearing that it would upset him and be detrimental to his recovery.

They pulled Dr. Li and others aside to inquire about the situation of Wei Jianguo and the others.

Dr. Li shook his head slightly at Gu Mingyue: "The first person to be hit by the poison needle passed away yesterday."

"Uncle Wei is very old, and he's still an ordinary person. If he doesn't have the serum, he probably won't make it to tomorrow."

Gu Mingyue's expression turned serious upon hearing this: "So fast?"

"Yes, there aren't many healing ability users inside the base right now. The strongest one is only at the mid-stage of level two. That virus is very powerful and has a high mortality rate. It's already quite remarkable that they've been treating patients day and night for so many days."

Gu Mingyue remained silent for a long time after hearing this. In her previous life, after she went blind, she was well protected by Xinghe. She had heard that there were viruses spreading in other human settlements, but she did not know what kind of virus it was.

However, at that time, I heard about an organization called the Angel Church that had rescued many bases from the clutches of the virus.

However, in Gu Mingyue's eyes, the Angel Church was a cult that used the guise of caring for survivors to capture people with special abilities.

Among them are people like Gu Mingyue, who gained mysterious powers twenty years ago.

There are also rare types of superpowered individuals, such as those with mental, spatial, or healing abilities. Anyone captured by them disappears without a trace, their fate unknown.

Gu Mingyue definitely couldn't seek help from this cult right now. She stroked her chin and stood by the window, thinking. Then she dialed Lu Qingchen's satellite phone.

Lu Qingchen, who had just escaped from a dark area, answered the phone without hesitation when he saw that it was Gu Mingyue calling.

"Beautiful boss, I have good news for you. I came out of an earth-type dark domain alive and even got a lot of level four crystal cores."

"Hehe, we're on equal footing now, the hair you've hidden in my head won't do me much good!"

Although he didn't manage to unearth the Black Domain Crystal Source, Lu Qingchen became arrogant again after becoming as powerful as Gu Mingyue.

Even without standing next to Lu Qingchen, Gu Mingyue could guess how arrogant the expression on his face, which looked like it could bring ruin to the country, must be!

"Congratulations!" Gu Mingyue said gently, then closed her eyes and manipulated the loyalty display in the space, switching to Lu Qingchen's page.

Ignoring the glaring detail above, he chuckled and said, "When you entered this dark realm, did you see a group of people wearing white robes? Their white robes had a pair of golden wings painted on the back."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingchen, who had been wearing a smug smile, instantly turned wary.

"How did you know who I met? Were you following me?"

If it weren't for those strange men in white robes blocking his way when he entered the Earth-type Dark Domain, he wouldn't have been nearly killed by the Lord of the Dark Domain. Not only did he fail to obtain the Crystal Source, but he also suffered serious injuries.

When Gu Mingyue heard his question, her red lips curled slightly: "Want to know? Do me a favor!"
