Chapter 320: Xing Lie's Disappearance

"Black scorpion? How big a black scorpion can drag away a person as big as our young lady?" The old man looked at Hua Yang and the other two, "I think the three of you should stop quibbling and just come with us. Our young lady is kind and maybe she will let you go after she wakes up!"

"I advise you not to resist! Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences!"

"That's right, you said you saved our young lady, right? Then where's the Black Scorpion's body? Where did it go? You can't even make up a lie!"

"And the Black Scorpion! And the Starscream!"

Hua Yang felt amused when she saw the psychics who refuted her. These people may have never seen such a big black scorpion, so they didn't believe what she said.

If the people at the Kyoto base were completely unaware of the existence of such large evolved creatures, then these giant evolved creatures would indeed be a major hidden danger to the security of the base.

Hua Yang and the other two looked at each other and did not resist. Rather than entering the base and undergoing inspection and staying in the quarantine area for a day, it would be better to follow these people into the safe base.

I think given the old man's ability level and his high status in the base, he can save them a lot of trouble.

So, an old man brought a group of psychics, surrounded an unconscious little girl and the three of them, and walked slowly towards the gate of the base.

But Hua Yang still underestimated the external security inspection of the base. When Hua Yang and the other two followed a group of people to the gate of the Kyoto Security Base, they were stopped by the fully armed guards at the gate.

"Butler Tang, please stay."

Hua Yang was shocked that the guard at the gate was actually a mid-level psychic. Not only that, the guard standing next to him was only level three, but he was a dual-element psychic. Level three earth element psychic, the second psychic was extremely weak, not even level one.

Hua Yang thought that it was very likely that the guard himself didn't know that a second type of supernatural power had awakened in his body.

Sure enough, he followed behind the mid-level psychic and whispered in his ear, "That's Mrs. Tang's cousin. Isn't it bad for us to do this?"

Lin Tian frowned, "It's not easy for the Kyoto base to have the current situation. Steward Tang just wants to destroy the safety of the base, right?"

Tang Yu's energy, which was close to that of a high-level psychic, suddenly burst out, and the exploding fire energy instantly heated up the surrounding air.

Lin Tian remained calm and composed in the exploding fire energy. There was a purple flame all over his body, surrounding himself in the exploding flames.

"Don't think that your Yao family is so powerful that you can ignore others! Now that Yao Lie is gone, I wonder what you are still so proud of!"

However, Lin Tian ignored it. Instead, the purple flame grew stronger. Although it did not break the outer exploding flame, the exploding flame did not invade his purple flame.

"If the news that the Tang family intends to destroy the security of the base gets out, it will be disadvantageous to your Tang family at the base. Are you sure you want to go against us so openly?"

Tang Yu's old face was wrinkled and his expression was extremely ugly. However, more and more people came to the gate of the base. As one of the five major families in the base, the Tang family valued face very much. He was just a housekeeper of the Tang family and could not make a big deal.

At this time, Zhu Gaoting, the little guard beside Lin Tian, came to Tang Yu and said, "Mr. Tang, the rules of the base cannot be broken. How about this, we can let you Tang family members enter the base directly. After all, we know each other well, and it can be regarded as giving face to the Tang family. But these three people cannot be allowed in. You also know what happened to the Wu family before. If something goes wrong, we small people can't bear the responsibility."

Tang Yu's face changed again and again. A superpower beside him pulled him and said, "Butler Tang, the eldest lady has been out for a long time. If we don't go back, the master will be anxious."

"Butler Tang, these three people are the thieves who harmed my young lady. Our Tang family takes this matter very seriously. I will send someone to pick these three people up in 24 hours."

Tang Yu retracted all the flames. Even if he attacked again, he couldn't do any harm to Lin Tian. Fire-related mutant abilities restrained abilities of the same type. Even though Tang Yu's ability level was higher than Lin Tian's, he couldn't do much harm to him. At most, it would just cause some obstacles to his actions.

Although Lin Tian possessed a mutated fire ability, fighting against a fire ability one level higher than his consumed a lot of mental energy. His face was a little pale, and he said lightly, "We are only responsible for isolating new personnel in the base to prevent the base from being invaded by infected people. Once the isolation period is over, they have nothing to do with us."

"Okay! I hope you can keep your promise!"

Tang Yu turned around and glared at Hua Yang and the other two, then left with his men and the unconscious little girl.

Lin Tian and Zhu Gaoting both breathed a sigh of relief and then looked at Hua Yang and the other two.

Just now, they were surrounded by a group of superpowers from the Tang family, so the two of them could only see the three unfamiliar faces of Hua Yang. At this time, the crowd dispersed, except for Gu Xiaoyue and Wu Tianqi, and Hua Yang's five-month-old belly wrapped in a long sweatshirt was exposed in front of the two and a group of onlookers who had not yet dispersed.

"Please, the three of you. According to the rules of our base, anyone coming from outside, whether they are out hunting or searching for supplies, must be quarantined for 24 hours."

Hua Yang smiled faintly, "I understand."

Lin Tian appreciated Hua Yang's good talk. Very good. He liked people who knew what was good for them. Moreover, the woman in front of him was a beautiful and clean woman. She was very pleasing to his eyes. "I haven't seen you before. Is this your first time in Kyoto?"

Hua Yang nodded, "Just arrived."

"Why did Tang Yu and the others arrest you?"

Hua Yang continued with a blank expression, "Because of a little misunderstanding."

Lin Tian frowned, not because Hua Yang's answer was unclear and she didn't explain the reason, but because of her casual attitude and her disregard for him, which made him a little annoyed.

But what he didn't know was that Hua Yang didn't care about his questions or attitude at all. She was thinking about the words that the old man from the Tang family said during the conversation just now: "You Yao family no longer has Yao Lie, so what do you have to be proud of?"

Yao Lie is the same as Xing Lie.

What did he mean by this? What happened to Xing Lie?

"Do you know what the consequences are of offending the Tang family?"

Hua Yang thought about it and was suddenly interrupted by Lin Tian, "If the three of you are new to the Kyoto base, it will be difficult to survive here without the help of acquaintances."

Hua Yang raised her head and glanced at the person in front of her, "Are you from the Yao family?"

Lin Tian was stunned, and suddenly looked at the woman in front of him with profound meaning.

"Yes, what do you mean?"

"Do you know where Yao Lie went?"

Hua Yang's words made Lin Tian frown. Could it be that this was another nymphomaniac who was obsessed with Yao Lie? But it didn't seem like it. How could a pregnant woman in the end times still be so obsessed with a man?

Hua Yang regretted the moment she asked the question. Her question was too obvious. If others saw it, it was more likely that she had ulterior motives.

Lin Tian suddenly frowned, "This is not something you should ask as a newcomer!" Then he waved to Zhu Gaoting who was standing beside him, "Zhu Gaoting, take them to the isolation room."

Zhu Gaoting approached them and smiled friendly, "I'll take you to the isolation room. Don't worry, as long as you don't mutate into zombies after 24 hours, there will be no big problem."

"Zhu Gaoting, go quickly and come back soon. There are many people going out hunting today, and we need to check them one by one. Don't be lazy."

Lin Tian glared at Zhu Gaoting unhappily, then walked back to the gate of the base with an expressionless face.

Zhu Gaoting shrugged and glanced at Hua Yang and the others, "Let's go. It's still some distance to the isolation room. I'll take you there."

As they walked along, Zhu Gaoting was a bit like a tireless sparrow, unable to stop talking in front of the three people. "You are lucky today. The Yao family and the Tang family have always been at odds. Lin Tian, the guard who was with me just now, is from the Yao family, so he always targets the Tang family. If it were another family today, you would be in trouble. If you offend the Tang family, your future life will definitely be difficult."

Hua Yang and the other two looked at Zhu Gaoting curiously. Especially Hua Yang, "So we should thank Lin Tian for escaping a disaster today!"

"Don't be fooled by his stern face, he's a really nice person!" Zhu Gaoting glanced around and slyly glanced at Hua Yang's belly. "You don't know, there was an accident with a pregnant woman in our base before. A baby zombie came out of her belly and attacked humans. Later, we finally cleared the hidden dangers in the base. And now all pregnant women in the base have to be quarantined uniformly, and they have to stay in the isolation room for 48 hours longer than ordinary people.

I see that you are so thin and small, I guess you can't stand the treatment of being without food and only drinking water for three days in the isolation room. I will arrange a single room for you to be isolated separately later. This is all I can do for you. When you come out of the isolation room tomorrow, be careful to let your family know. "

Hua Yang glanced at Zhu Gaoting slightly, "Thank you!"

"No need to thank me. Lin Tian just slipped the key to the single shoulder bag to me. I can't make the decision."

The guard named Zhu Gaoting was in his early twenties. He had a clean and fair face, like a young and inexperienced boy, but he was actually quite kind.

"Thanks, brother!"

"Well, the people in the base are always making wild guesses. Pregnant women are not as physically fit as ordinary people, and the place where pregnant women are isolated is stuffy, hot and unventilated. Normal people will get sick if they stay there for too long! If there are too many pregnant women in isolation, and the infected and healthy pregnant women are put together, wouldn't that harm the healthy pregnant women? In short, I don't think it's appropriate!"

Hua Yang nodded in agreement with Zhu Gaoting's words. Gu Xiaoyue also nodded, "It's indeed inappropriate for the base to do this, but we are lucky!"

Facing Gu Xiaoyue's praise, Zhu Gaoting touched the back of his head sheepishly and said, "This is just my humble opinion."

Seeing that Zhu Gaoting was kindhearted, Hua Yang suddenly asked, "Lin Tian is from the Yao family, then what about you? Which family are you from?"

"I'm from the Zhu family."

Zhu family? The surname Zhu? This made Hua Yang think of Zhu Qingqing. At the same time, she was from Kyoto and her surname was Zhu. Could it be such a coincidence?

"Although my last name is Zhu, I am just a small psychic serving the Zhu family. I used to work in the construction engineering department. In order to earn a little extra money, the guard today was absent due to some matters, so I took his place for a day."

"I see." Hua Yang was delighted after understanding this. This Zhu Gaoting definitely didn't know that he had awakened his second ability. If he could recruit this person in advance, he would have a thunder-type ability user in his team in the future!

Thinking of this, Hua Yang suddenly looked at Zhu Gaoting mysteriously and asked, "Zhu Gaoting, how many crystal cores can you earn in a day working in the construction engineering department?"

Zhu Gaoting calculated, "If the speed is fast enough, one gold coin and one meal a day. If the speed is slow, it will only be one meal."

Hua Yang's mouth corners curled up slightly.

"What about being a guard at the door for a day?"

"Two crystal cores plus a meal. But if a suspected virus carrier is allowed into the base on the same day or a zombie mutation occurs in the base, not only will you not get the crystal core reward, you will also be held accountable."

Hua Yang calculated and nodded, "Then wouldn't it be difficult for a superpower like you to even upgrade your superpower? How can you eat one meal a day?"

Zhu Gaoting sighed, "Alas, there is nothing we can do. Zombies are rampant outside the base, and there is no supplies or food in the nearby areas.

If they were to search further away, it would be dangerous, and if they encountered difficulties along the way, they would most likely not even be able to return! Even if they returned, the team would probably consume a lot of food along the way, and 15% of the supplies they could bring back would have to be handed over to the base, leaving only a little. Therefore, except for a few large families who sent people out to search for supplies and would try to go further away, no one else would go.

The zombies in the surrounding areas have been cleared out by the psychics from several major families, so if you want to obtain the crystal core, you need to go to a farther place.

Farther away means more danger. So whether it is resources or crystal cores, a team without any strength can't go far.

Hua Yang looked at Zhu Gaoting thoughtfully, "Do you know where Yao Lie went?"

Facing Hua Yang's sudden question, Zhu Gaoting didn't want to answer, but he saw a bag of instant noodles suddenly appear in Hua Yang's hand. "You?!"

Zhu Gaoting was extremely shocked. "You, you are a space ability user?"

Hua Yang nodded, "As long as you tell me about Yao Lie, this bag of instant noodles, as well as the biscuits, bread and water will all be yours. Please make an appointment in details!" As she spoke, Hua Yang held bear biscuits, Niuniu bread and a bottle of mineral water in her hands.

Zhu Gaoting looked at the food and water that appeared out of thin air in Hua Yang's hands. He was so stunned that his saliva was almost dripping.

"You...ah!" Zhu Gaoting suddenly sighed dejectedly, and said sincerely, "To be honest, I really want to take all your snacks away, but I really don't know much about Yao Lie! I only know that he took his men to a very strange place and never came back."

"Where?" Hua Yang asked.

Zhu Gaoting shook his head, "I don't know either."

"So who posted the mission and how can we find it?"

Zhu Gaoting nodded and said, "No need to check. It was a mysterious place discovered by the five major families. Then each family wanted to send a team to explore it. But none of the people sent out by the five families came back!"

Hua Yang was silent.

Xing Lie's satellite communicator kept showing a busy tone and a poor signal. Could it be related to the location of this mission?

For some reason, two words immediately popped up in Hua Yang's mind: "Secret place."

Seize the tail of the Lantern Festival and give a loud shout to everyone!

Happy Lantern Festival everyone
