For the rest of the time, no matter what Bai Anhai asked, the base chief remained silent.
When pressed too hard, the base commander closed his eyes, whether from exhaustion or to avoid the questions, it was unclear.
"Let's go back to the safe base first!"
Leng Yebai gently stroked Bai Xizhu's hair, then turned away from looking at the base commander lying in the bathtub.
"good!"
Bai Xizhu knew that Leng Yebai was angry with the base manager.
I'm angry, but I can't take it out on someone who's seriously injured and about to die.
After Leng Yebai and Bai Xizhu emerged from the space, the base chief let out a long sigh.
They remained silent the entire way.
The bus made frequent stops along the way, and every now and then it had to enter the space to heal the base commander's injuries.
It took three days to get back to the Yunhua Safe Base.
Hongyu is on duty today.
Hongyu spotted the blue and white bus from afar, a smile playing on his lips.
The temperature scanner in my hand is already turned on, and even the door is open.
Waiting for the bus to arrive.
"Xiao Fan, Sister Bai, you're back."
Hongyu quickly took the temperatures of Bai Xizhu and the others, speaking very gently.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work."
Bai Xizhu nodded, and then said nothing more.
Hongyu noticed the weariness in Bai Xizhu's eyes.
"Xiao Fan, you guys should go back and rest! You must be tired after being away for so many days!"
Hongyu quickly made way for the bus to enter.
"Yeah, I'll come visit you sometime."
Bai Yifan responded and floored the accelerator. The bus brushed past Hong Yu and squeezed into the safe base.
Hongyu blinked, belatedly took a step back, scratched her head, closed the door, and silently took out the game console that Bai Yifan had given her from her pocket.
Play a game to calm your nerves.
Within three days, the base commander's injuries had visibly healed by more than half.
Apart from the gruesome location of the severed arm, the other wounds have almost completely healed.
The base commander's strength is still undeniable; once he begins to absorb the crystal cores autonomously, he can quickly recover from his injuries.
The bus was parked back where the Bai family had initially parked.
The glass was specially made so that you couldn't see inside from the outside, but Bai Yifan still pulled the bed curtains up from the inside.
After the windows and doors were locked from the inside, the bus instantly became quiet.
Bai Xizhu brought everyone into the space.
This scene unfolded in the space.
The base commander, whose left shoulder was still bandaged, sat neatly in a chair, surrounded by a group of people.
It evoked the feeling of interrogating a criminal.
The base commander is much better now, and he can ask him anything he wants. If he gets angry and doesn't get any answers, he might even starve him for a meal.
"What were you doing at sea?"
Leng Yebai stared at the base commander's face, his fingers tightening slightly.
The water snake and Qin Yuan found the base leader on the sea surface, but they did not know where the base leader had gone.
All I know is that the base chief was about to die at that time, and many mutated creatures were attacking him.
Fortunately, Qin Yuan and Shui Hui arrived in time, otherwise Leng Yebai would have been waiting to inherit the base chief's property!
"No, I didn't do anything!"
The base commander turned his head away from Leng Yebai, but he was surrounded by people, and he could easily see other people with a turn of his head.
Turning to the left reveals Bai Anhai's serious face, while turning to the right reveals the face of Old Master Bai Zhengxuan.
The base commander's lips twitched, and he silently twisted his neck in a strange posture.
Let's look at Bai Yifan instead!
This kid looks easy to fool!
"Uncle Leng, is there something you're hiding from us? Maybe you wanted to sacrifice yourself to save the world, but then realized you couldn't, and you even got beaten half to death, so you're too embarrassed to say it?"
Bai Yifan blinked and looked at the base commander with an innocent expression.
Base Commander: ...
"Ahem, no, that's not it." The base commander shook his head, forcing a smile. "Uncle Leng just went swimming in the sea; he didn't intend to save the world. Besides, I have no idea how the world is saved!"
"Then what are you doing at sea? You're not going to steal some peaches of immortality, like Brother Zhang said, are you? Can the legendary things be the same as the things that have mutated now?"
Bai Yifan expressed great curiosity.
The peaches of immortality are quite famous in Journey to the West. The Jade Emperor assigned a monkey who loved peaches to guard the Peach Garden, which led to the famous scene of the Monkey King causing havoc in Heaven.
The legendary peaches of immortality are said to grant longevity, but can the mutated plants really have this effect?
Even if it happens again, it might not be that significant; at most, it might just promote longevity.
Even so, it can still be considered a rare treasure.
But if Brother Zhang couldn't even retrieve such a dangerous place, why would the base commander go there?
"Yes, I went to steal the peaches. By the way, this is the peach pit. Don't waste it. Dig a hole and bury it. New peaches will grow from it."
The base commander's eyes darted around, and he rummaged through his own body, finally pulling out a bunch of random things.
One of them was a peach pit. The peach pit looked no different from an ordinary peach, and it was obviously used by the base leader to pass off as something else.
"What do you want these peaches for!" Leng Yebai's face was cold and his expression was frighteningly dark.
"I thought the peaches of immortality could bring people back to life and were very valuable, so I went over to snatch them. But the competition was too fierce, so I could only hide to the side. In the end, I only managed to snatch the peach pits that people spat out. I thought, 'Don't waste them. Plant them in the soil, and maybe they can grow back.'"
