Fan Shaoyong was tempted. The fact that she could so easily offer such a price meant that this woman was truly wealthy. He secretly planned how he would squeeze a hefty sum out of her when she came looking for him.

When Yao Huabing saw the greed surging in Fan Shaoyong's eyes, the dark light in his own eyes faded. He touched the mole at the corner of his eye and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

As night deepened, the humidity in the surrounding air grew thicker and the weather became increasingly muggy. The survivors living on the outskirts felt like they could hardly breathe in such weather.

While fanning himself, Zhao Hui said to Li Wei beside him, "Look at this weather, it's definitely going to rain in a few days, and it won't be a light rain."

Li Wei, feeling hot, wiped the sweat streaming down his face with a towel. Just then, a survivor ran quickly toward them, looking excited.

Li Wei immediately stood up, took a step forward, and his aura instantly changed. He reached for his lower back and stared intently at the survivor who was running towards him.

The survivor ran up to them, beaming, "I found her! I saw the woman you were looking for! She went to the Xuanfeng Base!"

Zhao Hui and Li Wei naturally knew who the survivor was referring to; they were also only looking for one woman.

"Are you sure? She went to the Xuanfeng Base?" Zhao Hui narrowed his eyes slightly. They had been searching for so long without finding her, and now she suddenly appeared. Could it be that she was lying to them?

"Really! You can go and confirm it, and you can pay me after you confirm it!" The survivor was afraid they wouldn't believe him, so he described in detail where he met the woman and what she looked like, making it impossible for Li Wei and Zhao Hui not to believe him.

He wouldn't have told Zhao Hui and Li Wei about this if the rewards for the mission they set weren't higher than those at the B City base.

"I'll send someone to confirm. Leave your address first, and we'll come find you once we've confirmed it. Don't worry, we won't lose your few crystal cores in business here." After Zhao Hui finished speaking to the survivor, he saw the overjoyed survivor off.

He then turned to look at Li Wei, who pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go and see for myself."

Li Wei led a group of people to the Xuanfeng Base without stopping. They encountered many dangers along the way, but fortunately, Li Wei was skilled enough to resolve them in advance.

When they arrived at the entrance of Xuanfeng Base, they saw that the woman they had been looking for was locked in a large iron cage at the base entrance, with several people guarding her.

Occasionally, screams could be heard from inside the base, causing Li Wei to frown deeply; something was definitely wrong with the base.

He tried to ignore the strangeness of the base and instead took out a piece of paper from his pocket. This was a portrait that Lin Ruo had drawn herself. He also took out a flashlight from his pocket and, by the light of the flashlight, carefully compared the woman's face with the face in the portrait.

After comparing them, Li Wei finally confirmed that the withered, thin, and weak woman in front of him was the person in the portrait. Although the person in the portrait was a bit dirty, he exuded a lively spirit, but the woman in front of him was filled with a sense of despondency.

That's why Li Wei didn't recognize him at first.

Upon seeing Li Wei and his group arrive, the guards exchanged glances and approached, scrutinizing them from head to toe before asking, "Are you from the B City base? Are you the ones responsible for finding this woman?"

Feeling the men's gazes and smelling the stench of blood, Li Wei reached for his lower back, gripped his gun tightly, and replied, "Yes."

Seeing Li Wei's tense expression, the group of men's eyes immediately filled with mockery, and they burst into laughter.

Since they started eating humans, they no longer have any feelings for their fellow human beings; all they feel is the kind of playful teasing they have for pets.

Li Wei and the men behind him were on high alert; they had already sensed something was wrong.

After they finished laughing, they said, "In that case, go back and tell that ice-type ability user that the person is in our hands, but if he wants to take him back, he'll have to give us a satisfactory price. We went through a lot of trouble to bring this person here."

"If you don't give it to us, we'll kill her, and she won't even get to see her body."
