It's important to understand that high-level combatants are already scarce in the base. In this apocalyptic world where life-threatening dangers could arise any day, everyone hopes to have a few more highly capable individuals in the base. However, since they angered Thunder Wolf and drove him away, they all gave these people a cold shoulder.
So now, almost no one is on the side of these people. Some people even joined Luo Shui in criticizing them, and those people retorted with insults. In short, the scene was chaotic.
At this point, guards from the base likely came and separated the crowd, preventing further chaos.
Seeing this, Ye Nianzhen took the initiative to tell them what happened outside the base, from their journey to being suddenly chased by the mutated giant, to being tricked by those people and almost being trampled to death by the elephant.
Normally, the guards wouldn't get involved in these personal disputes. After all, things are different now than before. Even if someone dies, as long as it doesn't endanger the base's safety, it's not a big deal.
However, this incident actually alarmed the management because the elephant was so big that they could see the chaos outside from inside the base, including the fact that these people were driving the elephant into the base. In their view, this was definitely a trap for the base!
If Ye Nianzhen and the others hadn't managed to lure the elephant away, and it had actually charged towards the base, even with the defensive equipment around the base, they would have likely lost at least some buildings and guards.
This is a matter concerning the lives of many people and the safety of the base. The devices inside the base used to drive away monsters like this are useless because the level is too high.
In doing so, these people had essentially incurred the hatred of everyone in the base, yet they shamelessly demanded that they stand up for them? Without saying a word, the guards immediately restrained these people, dragged them out, and warned them not to cause any more trouble, and not to come any closer to the hotel.
These people were extremely dissatisfied and couldn't understand why the guards would think of outsiders. They cursed and swore outside the hotel for a while before helping each other leave. As for why they were helping each other... it was because after being beaten up by Ye Nianzhen and the others, they had just been beaten up by the guards for causing trouble. In short, they had been severely taught a lesson.
They looked up at the hotel with resentment, then glanced at the new car that had originally belonged to them, and left indignantly.
As they walked into a small alley, a person blocked their way. They looked up impatiently and saw a mysterious-looking man wearing a black hood. The man's voice was male, and he asked them in a low voice, "Do you want revenge?"

Ye Nianzhen and the others were completely unaware that the mysterious person had approached those fools.
They are having dinner now. After a busy meal and a short rest, it is now evening. They ate some food provided by the hotel and then cooked some fresh meat and vegetables themselves, enjoying a hearty meal.
Their food was fresher than what the people at the base ate, and Mingyuan's cooking was delicious, so many people looked at them with envy.
One of the teams sent their youngest and most endearing boy over to ask if they could exchange some food, and Ye Nianzhen readily agreed.
When the boy took the food back, he always felt many unfriendly gazes behind him, making him feel like he was being pricked by needles and giving him goosebumps all over.
Ye Nianzhen gets along well with the local teams at the base. The nearby teams all heard about how they lured away the dangerous mutated elephant and taught those idiots a lesson when those people caused trouble today.
They also spread the word, and soon most of the squads in the base knew about them.
The next day, when Ye Nianzhen and the others went out to stroll around the base to see if there were any new things to buy, many people watched them. Some people even talked about them, and some young superhumans looked at them with envy, and even rushed up to ask why they were so strong.
Yeh Nien-chen is not opposed to this. Although she is independent, she enjoys the feeling of getting along well with the people around her, which reminds her of the peaceful world she once lived in, where everyone was very friendly and helped each other.
But just when the atmosphere was harmonious, Ye Nianzhen even bought some trinkets and candies from a roadside stall when suddenly several menacing-looking people rushed out and blocked their way.
Ye Nianzhen sensed their ill intentions and stopped, calmly asking them, "What do you want?"
The group of people revealed malicious smiles: "Still pretending? Don't think we don't know. We've heard about you. Aren't you the Holy Maiden of the Beastmen? What brings you to the human base?"
Ye Nianzhen was speechless. How did such news even reach the human base? And is there some specific connection between whether the Beast Clan Saintess comes to the human base or not? It's really strange.
However, she also knew that these people probably didn't just come to ask about this matter; she felt they must have ulterior motives.
Ye Nianzhen wasn't falling for their trap. Instead, she questioned them, "I don't know what you're talking about. I want to ask you, since we came to the Desolate Smoke Base, we haven't done anything to harm your base. On the contrary, a small team from your base has been targeting us at every turn and almost put us in danger. Now you're questioning me like this, are you in cahoots with those people?"
Ye Nianzhen took the initiative, catching the group off guard with her questions. However, they quickly remembered their purpose and ignored Ye Nianzhen's questions, continuing their lines: "We've heard that the Beast Clan Saintess has the ability to control the minds of Beast Clan warriors and magical beasts. Who knows if you lured that mutated elephant over there, staged the whole thing, stole someone else's equipment, and then acted like the victim?"
Ye Nianzhen was even more speechless. Where did these claims come from? Mind control, huh? If she could control minds, she would be the first to remove this absurd idea that she was a saintess from everyone's minds!
But now she is even more certain that these people came here at the behest of certain individuals to deliberately smear them!
She couldn't let them talk nonsense!
So she retorted directly, "How do you know where we came from? And how do you know who we are?"
