Le Wu waited at her lodgings until evening, then took Octopus out for a stroll, leisurely making her way to the vicinity of the base leaders' office building.
She didn't need to get close; after shrinking her size, the octopus crawled towards the office building on its own. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't even notice it.
Then Yuewu left, and Octopus climbed in through the window of the second-floor corridor.
They came to the door of a room with the lights on and went in through the crack in the door.
The octopus climbed onto the door frame, where it had a high vantage point and a wide view, making it easier to choose a target and continue eavesdropping.
There were more than 20 people sitting in this conference room. If Yue Wu were here, she would be surprised, because most of them were level two ability users, and there were six or seven half ability users.
Why did these people advance so quickly? And why are semi-superhumans holding important positions? This is highly suspicious.
These people were completely unaware of the octopus, and they were discussing an important matter.
Colonel Zhu asked in a deep voice, "Now that the central government has issued a document, the matter of the crystal cores can no longer be concealed. When those people obtain the crystal cores, will they still hand them over?"
Lieutenant Colonel He chimed in, "It's difficult. Who wouldn't want to improve their superpowers? And why would they willingly throw away such a good opportunity? Right now, ability is everything. Once they have the chance to acquire even higher superpowers, how many people would still be willing to obey us?"
"But it's too late to hide it now. Reports came in today that every city is announcing the improvement of superpowers and the defeat of zombies. Even in City C, the news has spread to a small extent. In two days, everyone will know." A young officer confidently stated his idea. "Instead of waiting until then, we can announce it now and set some enticing conditions to keep these people collecting crystal cores, while also encouraging them to exchange them for practical things, such as high-grade crystal cores for positions. This way, they can receive a monthly food allowance, at least they won't have to worry about food."
Many people nodded in agreement; this was indeed a good idea.
Colonel Zhu gave his son Zhu Xuan an approving look, and then said to him, "You draft a charter tomorrow and release it then."
Zhu Xuan: "Yes!"
After the meeting ended, Octopus noticed that Colonel Zhu was the highest-ranking officer among them. So, the moment he stepped out, Octopus landed directly on his hair and followed him away.
After leaving the office building, Yue Wu continued to wander aimlessly, not returning until very late.
But the moment he returned to his residential area, he spotted a figure in the distance carrying a sack on his back, with something moving inside.
Yuewu frowned. What were they doing so late at night? And what was in that sack?
Out of curiosity, Yuewu followed and finally arrived at the site of the newly built houses on the base, where construction debris was everywhere.
Yuewu observed which direction the figure was in, and finally heard a scream coming from behind the wall not far away. Yuewu immediately went over, but it was too late.
The man was biting a girl's body, and the girl's eyes were wide open, her neck covered in blood.
Le Wu couldn't help but feel nauseous. Because of her voice, the man who was tearing at her turned around and saw Le Wu. In an instant, he chose to run away.
Yue Wu also saw the man's face clearly; he was Mo An's devoted follower, his constant protector.
It turned out that he ate more than just zombies. Upon realizing this, Yuewu decided to kill this thing that was no longer human.
However, because he was unfamiliar with the route, he eventually lost track of him, but this did not affect Yuewu's determination to kill him.
Tao Han, the man who returned to Mo An's side, was covered in blood.
Mo An looked at him with extreme disgust, "How many times have I told you not to eat people? Why don't you listen? You're filthy. Don't come near me. Go back and take a shower."
After watching Tao Han leave, Mo An curled his lip and said, "What an idiot. If he weren't still somewhat useful, I really wouldn't want to see him at all. He's disgusting."
"But it's a fine knife. Looks like that girl's dead. Let's see how smug she is now, hahaha..."
This girl is the younger sister that the team across the street found today. The girl is pure and lovely, and many men praised her for being beautiful as soon as she arrived.
The male members of Mo An's team even compared her to the young girl, saying that the young girl was more beautiful and younger. Mo An took this to heart and that night asked Tao Han to take care of the girl.
When Yue Wu returned home, she drank some spiritual spring water. She was still bothered by what she had seen that night. She should have just killed that person back then, so she wouldn't be regretting it now. But there would always be opportunities later. It would be best to let more people see how Mo An raises demons around her.
After a quick wash, Le Wu went to bed, but couldn't sleep soundly all night.
The next day, Yue Wu realized that Ji Ye hadn't come to see her, and couldn't help but think to herself, "This big man still has such a big temper."
But it's better if they don't show up, so that Yuewu doesn't have to be timid or hesitant about what he wants to do.
But a moment later, there was a knock on the door.
Yue Wu opened the door and saw Ji Ye standing at the door holding two bowls of noodles with soybean paste.
The morning sun shone on Ji Ye, as if gilding him with gold, making his handsome appearance even more dazzling, like a cold and aloof Buddhist monk, untouched by worldly affairs.
But now I'm cooking and cleaning for this ordinary woman, and it feels strangely satisfying.
Yue Wu consciously stepped aside to let Ji Ye into the house. The two sat down to eat together, and neither of them said anything.
When they finished eating, Ji Ye reached out and took Yue Wu's empty bowl, asking, "Where are you going later?"
Yuewu: "Huh? Oh, I'll go check out the other bases later."
Ji Ye hummed in agreement, "Wait for me!" and then got up and went back.
Music and Dance: What does he mean? Is he telling me he has to go too? Such a domineering CEO? What to do if I'm starting to like him!
Before he could finish his random thoughts, there was another knock on the door. Ji Ye was already prepared.
The two then set off together in a car. Since they didn't know where the small bases were, Yuewu drove aimlessly, only able to ask people for directions when they encountered them.
Suddenly, they heard a fight going on not far away, so Yuewu immediately drove over to join the fun.
It turns out that people from two different bases had both discovered a mutated leopard and wanted to possess it.
One of the teams had already faced off against the leopard, but failed to defeat it.
The other team, however, waited and saw how things unfolded, hoping to reap the benefits once the opposing team and the leopard were both severely weakened.
Watching the standoff between the two teams and the leopard, Yue Wu thought they were being incredibly delusional.
After all, they were both level one ability users, while the leopard was a level three mutant. If they cooperated, they might have a chance to win, but now the leopard was looking for an opportunity to escape, while they were still arguing.
As expected, the leopard did not continue the standoff with them, as it might attract more danger.
