The night quietly covered the sky, the lights came on, and the city's top auction house was already filled with elegantly dressed people and every seat was occupied.

This highly anticipated auction finally kicked off as scheduled.

Different from the hustle and bustle of the exhibition during the day, the venue at this moment was filled with a more restrained yet tense atmosphere. Every time a sign was raised, it represented an astonishing figure.

Yu Bai did not choose a conspicuous seat. She sat quietly in the corner of the last row, staring at the stage quietly.

Under the spotlight, the Qin Dynasty bronze square tripod was the first to appear, followed by a jade bi disk, a dragon-shaped jade huang, and painted pottery figurines...

Each one was a treasure she had received from Fusu, carrying the dust of a thousand years and the breath of another time and air.

Bids rose and fell as the auctioneer's provocative voice rose and fell.

Looking at the numbers soaring on the screen, Yu Bai felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

She is a worldly person who loves money and the real sense of security.

With this money, she can do whatever she wants.

In the end, all the Qin Dynasty antiques she consigned were bought at high prices by Qian Ying and several other wealthy businessmen who praised her "massage" skills at the luncheon.

When the dust settled, Yu Bai breathed a long sigh of relief.

However, the auction house has its own rules, and it takes time for the funds to arrive, involving a series of processes such as commissions and deductions.

Yu Bai was not an expert in this, but she trusted Li Baizhong. Since Mr. Li said there was no problem, she was not in a hurry.

The excitement of the auction gradually faded away, and Yu Bai returned to his apartment, but a certain idea in his mind became clearer and clearer.

She was grateful for Li Baizhong's support today and the generous donations from Qian Ying and others.

She decided to make the crystal core into something that could be used by others but would not easily reveal its secrets, and give it to Li Baizhong and several noble people who generously donated today as a thank you gift, and also to further consolidate this rare good relationship.

As for how to use the crystal core and what shape it could be made into so as not to attract attention, Yu Bai thought of Han Yi first.

He must know this better than I do.

Speaking of Han Yi, his situation these days is far less smooth than Yu Bai's.

In the early stages of the base relocation, everything was going smoothly. Relying on Han Yi's prestige and the team members' execution ability, the team moved steadily towards the new target point.

However, on the fourth day of the migration, trouble arose.

The weather, which was warm and balmy a few days ago, suddenly changed. First, there was a howling wind, blowing up a sky full of dust, making it almost impossible to open your eyes.

Immediately afterwards, raindrops as big as beans began to fall down with a crackling sound, and soon gathered into a downpour, as if to wash away the whole world.

Visibility dropped sharply and the road became muddy and difficult to travel on.

Han Yi and his group had to stop in embarrassment and temporarily camp at the foot of a hill that was relatively sheltered from the wind.

Being in the wilderness means there is no village in front and no shop behind, and there are very few shelters to hide in.

Once attacked by a large-scale zombie horde, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Heavy worry and high vigilance hung over the hearts of every team member like a dark cloud.

Han Yi's expression looked even more solemn in the dim light. He kept patrolling around and arranging guard posts.

Feelings of anxiety and restlessness quickly spread through the team like a contagious plague.

Soon, suppressed complaints began to rise one after another, gradually becoming more unbridled from whispers.

"I think the original temporary base is fine. Although it's a little small, it's safe at least! Why do we have to go through the trouble of relocating?"

A young team member wrapped in a raincoat and shivering with cold couldn't help but mutter.

"that is!"

Someone nearby immediately echoed.

"The weather changes so suddenly! Captain, did you have no foresight? You insisted on doing it your own way, and now you've implicated everyone! If a zombie tidal wave really comes, what can we do with so few people?"

These words pierced Han Yi's heart like needles, and also put the team's cohesion to a severe test in the midst of storms and difficulties.
