For the time being, none of the noise reached Xiao Yi, and he briefly enjoyed the life he loved. But such a life of insignificance is always short-lived. A knock on the door interrupted Xiao Yi's interest in drinking tea in the rocking chair. Pulling the blanket around him, Xiao Yi, wearing a pair of very comfortable deerskin slippers with rabbit fur lining, walked to the door and opened it a crack.
When he opened the door, he saw the woman named Wu Jie and Huang Xiongwei standing at the door of Xiao Yi's house. Before Xiao Yi could ask their intentions, Wu Jie spoke first: "Xiao Yi, it has already started over there, don't you want to go and take a look?"
Xiao Yi showed his attitude with his actual actions. The next second, the door was slammed shut with a loud bang, obviously he was very reluctant. But Wu Jie did not give up. It was very difficult to convince Xiao Yi to join, but the qualities Xiao Yi showed that day were extremely crucial. Wu Jie sorted out his emotions, put on a polite and warm smile on his face again, and knocked on the door "Knock knock knock". The voice followed closely: "When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact? I believe you are very clear about this truth. I have also heard about your life in the First Base. The enthusiasm and justice in your heart can find a sufficient stage anywhere."
"I'm not trying to persuade you. I simply want to share a harsh truth with you. We're facing a crisis for all of humanity and China. Even several bases that set out with you have been completely annihilated. This challenge and opportunity is our last, and most crucial, chance. The enemies we face aren't just these terrifying mutants; we also face foreign groups that are eyeing us covetously and attempting to annex us."
"The organization you wiped out earlier has been confirmed to be a spy organization lurking within our country from the United States. They used Chinese genetic engineering to develop destructive weapons, but fortunately, you destroyed it in time. If any of these genetic weapons were successfully developed, all of the Chinese bloodline would have completely disappeared from this land. There is no truth in this world. Truth is only within the range of guns and cannons, isn't it? I hope you can think carefully about what you really want. Do you want to live under the blue sky and breathe the air of freedom, or do you want to do your own thing and enjoy the loneliness of the world when we all disappear."
Wu Jie finished his long speech without any hesitation and turned around and left Xiao Yi's door. Huang Xiongwei stared at the closed door for a few minutes and then left quickly.
Inside, Xiao Yi held the now-stale tea and took a gentle sip. The tea's aroma had dissipated with the temperature, leaving only bitterness and a subtle sourness on the tip of his tongue. Xiao Yi slowly walked back to the balcony and placed the teacup back on the stove to reheat. But once black tea has cooled, no matter how much it's repeatedly reheated at high temperatures, it will never regain its lingering, sweet aroma.
Xiao Yi stared at the intermittent light streaming down from above, a line of poetry suddenly resonating with him: "Stealing a moment's leisure in this turbulent life." But how long could such a life last? Was he truly the only one left in the world? Or would he live in seclusion in a corner, detached from the world? After all, they were still connected by blood, so could he truly remain indifferent? Apart from others, Yu Wei? Elder Yuan? Fan Zun? Si Feifei? Professor Zhao? Or Huang Xiongwei? Or those three brats? The world was certainly shabby, and there were always people Xiao Yi hated. But there were also always valuable people and things, weren't there?
Xiao Yi poured out the re-boiled tea in the cup and refilled it. Amidst the lingering aroma of tea, it seemed unclear what Xiao Yi was thinking. Yes, what was Xiao Yi thinking?
An hour later, Xiao Yi, dressed neatly, knocked on the door of a seemingly low-key house. The person who opened the door was a familiar face that Xiao Yi had seen before. However, what shocked Xiao Yi was that this time, Fan Zun did not hide away to enjoy himself or become a politician to roam at the pinnacle of power. He actually participated in the supernatural power selection and was even successfully selected.
Fan Zun and Xiao Yi were friends, but also adversaries, and even more so, close confidants. Sure enough, the answer Xiao Yi sought could only be found here. Without hesitation, Xiao Yi took the dedicated elevator and ascended directly to the training camp on the top floor. The guard upstairs clearly knew Xiao Yi. Upon seeing him, he calmly and effortlessly opened the door with an inviting gesture, without question or surprise. Entering through the two layers of "transparent" glass doors, Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh in admiration. It appeared transparent, even the furnishings were clearly visible, but only upon entering did he discover that the walls and doors were completely opaque, a deceptive tactic used to confuse the enemy. The interior was a pure white, its construction difficult to discern, but it looked remarkably sturdy. In the center of the room sat a massive control console. Wu Jie, the woman who had previously come to find Xiao Yi, Huang Xiongwei, and dozens of others sat before it. The massive screen was divided into countless smaller screens, showing footage of people struggling. Xiao Yi looked closely and saw quite a few people he recognized. Looking at Huang Xiongwei who was sitting on the side and staring at the screen, with a look of sadness and regret, I knew that he had not passed the inspection.
As soon as Xiao Yi entered the top floor, everyone noticed him and looked over. Wu Jie, who was sitting in the middle, stood up, arms outstretched, welcoming Xiao Yi to join her, as if everything was under her control. This feeling made Xiao Yi uncomfortable. Did he feel like he was being morally kidnapped? Or maybe not? Anyway, he just felt uncomfortable.
Some were enthusiastic, some were wary, and they all greeted Xiao Yi. For a moment, it was a bit chaotic and they couldn't tell who was who. Huang Xiongwei stood opposite Xiao Yi, and he couldn't hide his gratified smile no matter what.
