Chapter 275 Lu Ye is...

Fat Orange was particularly difficult to appease today. He called out to Xie Ning several times and looked fierce.

Seeing this, Ye Xi almost thought that Xie Ning had done something to it.

But in fact, Xie Ning has never touched a big tiger.

"Maybe the Big Tiger and you don't have the same aura?"

After she said this, she stuffed Fat Orange back into the space and threw the crystal core of the level 5 mutant beast into the fluid pool.

There's no need to stare at this thing.

After throwing it away, she came out and left this strange cave with Xie Ning.

"This mutant beast ate a person. There were six people in Zhou Hui's team who followed him, and now two are dead. There are still four people in their team, plus a mutant zombie mixed in... I think they should have left this cave."

Ye Xi looked at Xie Ning and asked him, "Can your mental power detect their presence nearby?"

"Well, this place has weakened my mental suppression, and my range of perception is wider."

Xie Ning said in a deep voice, "There is indeed a very powerful aura, very similar to that of a level six mutant zombie, but a bit stronger. It's not a mutant zombie, but some kind of mutant creature..."

"biology?"

Ye Xi was keenly aware of his choice of words and asked hurriedly, "You mean you can't tell if it's a mutant mammal or a non-mammal? Or maybe one of those mutant insects?"

"Um."

Xie Ning looked at her solemnly, "Saving your life is the most important thing. Leave here as soon as possible."

"OK!"

Ye Xi believed in his judgment.

The main reason is that the damn basement of Kaizhong Group is really weird.

Add to that the giant mutant beast that just appeared. It looks like a lamprey, but has fangs, a tail and skin that resemble a leech, and when they cut open its belly, they even found a spine...

In short, it is obvious that it is not a natural product!

-

Outside the cave.

Han Chi and others have already walked out.

It wasn't too deep originally.

The sound of fighting could be faintly heard in the cave.

After a moment, the sounds of fighting died down.

Ye Yan looked at the cave anxiously, waiting for Ye Xi to come out. "This isn't the first time Xiao Xi and Xie Ning have teamed up to deal with those mutant beasts. There will definitely be no problem."

The main reason is that the environment here is unfamiliar and harsh.

It made her feel uneasy.

Pei Hongqing, who was standing next to her, glanced at her and asked, "How did Ye Xi find Xie Ning to join you?"

"I have a say in this!"

Long Liang couldn't control his mouth anymore and chuckled, "Of course Brother Xie was 'picked up' by our Sister Xi! I met Brother Xie the first time I brought Sister Xi into the East District. He was still level 4 at the time, and he single-handedly took out a level 4 mutant zombie! He could even parkour on rooftops... but he ran out of energy and his powers drained, so he accidentally fell. Then our Sister Xi came to the rescue... Oh, and she saved him twice!"

“…”

Pei Hongqing felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "It's her usual style to like picking up people."

First it was Lu Ye, who was picked up as his biological brother.

Then it was Han Chi again, what kind of brother did he become!

Finally, there is Xie Ning...

"Xiaoxi has her own ideas about everything she does, and she never makes a mistake. Xie Ning's joining us is a great thing. With him and Xiaoxi working together to kill the level 5 mutant zombies, our entire team can be upgraded to level 5."

Ye Yan looked at Pei Hongqing and felt that his words about her sister liking to pick people up contained a certain amount of sarcasm, which made her feel uncomfortable. So she said directly, "Besides, Hongqing, you have always put the interests of the team first. For a team like yours right now, it would be best to recruit more powerful members, otherwise it will be difficult to continue to upgrade."

Knowing that he had never approved of what her sister did and had been hostile to her in the past, she thought Pei Hongqing had changed his mind about her sister after they had worked together before. Now it seemed that she had been too optimistic!

Pei Hongqing is now beginning to envy her sister for having more powerful teammates!

"I……"

Pei Hongqing felt choked up when he heard Ye Yan's words. He realized that she must have misunderstood his attitude, but he didn't know how to explain it.

Chen Yingcheng pressed his shoulder and said to Ye Yan, who looked serious and a little unhappy, "Don't worry about it. Hong Qing didn't mean anything else. He just thought that Ye Xi might pick up some bad people and affect your team. Just like Lu Ye before, isn't he missing now? He just came and left as he pleased, and there's no way to find him..."

"yes!"

Pei Hongqing suddenly remembered something, looked at Ye Yan and the others, and said in a deep voice: "I saw him when I was helping you find Lu Ye before. He is definitely not as simple as you think. He should have special abilities, but they are rather strange. I saw him with my own eyes..."

"Sister Xi is back!"

Liu Hong shouted, interrupting him directly.

Pei Hongqing was slightly startled and turned to look towards the cave.

Ye Xi and Xie Ning walked towards this side one after another.

The latter was as taciturn as ever, but when he met his gaze, a coldness emanated from him.

Pei Hongqing felt more and more that something was not right. He always felt that Xie Ning was hiding too many secrets!

"Xiao Xi, are you okay?"

The injury was actually visible to the naked eye, but Ye Yan was still worried and had to pull Ye Xi over for a careful examination before she was satisfied.

Ye Xi said it was okay, and glanced at Pei Hongqing again, "Were you talking about Lu Ye just now? Did you see him when you went out to help look for him?"

Pei Hongqing paused and nodded, "Yes, I did see him. He even knocked an armed man unconscious, took off his clothes and left."

“…”

After hearing this, Ye Xi fell silent.

Xie Ning, who was standing behind her, was also silent.

Unexpectedly, when he changed from Lu Ye to Xie Ning, he was almost discovered by Pei Hongqing.

But he was not worried about his identity being exposed.

No one would associate Lu Ye and Xie Ning as the same person.

Even if Pei Hongqing saw him change with his own eyes, as long as he denied it, there would be no other evidence to prove it.

Moreover, as long as he wanted, Lu Ye would never appear again in his life.

"Lu Ye was able to knock me out, so he obviously has some hidden skills."

Han Chi spoke when everyone was silent. He looked at Ye Xi and said, "Xiao Xi must have thought of this, so she hasn't been looking for Lu Ye recently. His ability to survive may be stronger than we thought."

"Um……"

Ye Xi couldn't help but laugh and looked at Pei Hongqing. "Thank you for telling me this. I had some suspicions before, but now I can finally rest assured. I believe Aye is not some willful child. To be able to survive until now after the apocalypse, he must have some special ability. It's just that he's introverted and doesn't like to talk about these things with us."

“…”

Pei Hongqing suddenly choked, an indescribable emotion choking his heart...
