Chapter 326 Infiltrating the Mu Family Base
The next morning, people from the He, Shi, and Gu families all came to the Chi family's house.
After breakfast, Chi Yanzhou and the others changed out of their Flameheart Base uniforms and into the black windbreakers prepared by Lu Nange.
Grandpa Chi stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the young people who were all ready to go: "My dear grandchildren, don't be impulsive. Safety comes first, no matter what."
Everyone nodded solemnly...
Lu Nange: "Grandpa, don't worry, we all value our lives."
Chi Qingyue: "Are you really not bringing any more people?"
Chi Yanzhou: "No need, bringing anyone would be a hindrance."
Chi Qingyue laughed and scolded, "You brat!"
Shi Xu and the others were also quietly saying goodbye to their families, the air filled with reluctance and longing.
Just then, Chi Qi and Chi Si each drove an SUV and sped over, stopping in front of everyone.
Chi Yanzhou turned to face his grandfather: "Grandpa, we're off."
Grandpa Chi: "Grandpa is waiting for you to come home..."
Lu Xici opened the door of his black G-Class, and the others followed suit.
As soon as the car started moving, Mrs. He immediately withdrew her waving hand, her expression returning to normal...
Shi's mother: "You tidied up your emotions way too quickly!"
Mrs. He: "They have their own paths to follow. Besides, haven't you noticed in just these past few days?"
These kids are all incredibly clever; they've made fun of the entire base.
"Nan Nan hasn't even made a move yet, don't worry, wherever they go is none of anyone else's concern. Our family's little troublemakers will live on for a thousand years, no problem."
Three vehicles arrived at the base gate one after another...
Chi Si and Chi Qi got out of the car. Chi Qi greeted the guard, "Twelve passes."
The guard counted the passes and handed them over.
Chi Si: "Young Master, be careful."
Chi Qi: "Young Master, are you really not going to take me along?"
Chi Yi took the pass and got into the driver's seat of the lead vehicle: "Open the door."
Chi Qi: "Open the door..."
The heavy iron gates slid open slowly to both sides, and the three vehicles drove out of the base one after another, disappearing into the rising dust.
Guard: "Brother Si, Brother Qi, what are you little darlings doing out there?"
Remembering the old man's instructions, Chi Qi glanced at the guards and deliberately raised her voice to make sure all the guards nearby could hear her: "Our base is short of medicine, young master and the others go out and look for it."
The guards by the door exchanged glances and whispered among themselves.
"I heard those little devils sold a lot of medicine at rock-bottom prices these past two days, it was practically free..."
"I've heard that too. There are plenty of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs... At those prices, this isn't doing business, it's clearly charity."
......
Lu Nange and her group's three off-road vehicles sped along the dilapidated road, heading straight towards the Mu family's base.
The road was still a mess.
Although they had cleared away the zombies along the way before, many more were now wandering the streets again...
Lu Xici gripped the steering wheel, frowning, and said, "This really is never-ending, it's endless..."
Lu Nange picked up the walkie-talkie: "They're all low-level zombies. Let's go to the Mu family base first, and deal with them when we get back."
Upon hearing this, Chi Yi, who was leading the way, immediately sped up...
When they arrived at the corner near the Mu family base, Lu Xici's G-Wagon became the lead car. The G-Wagon turned first and drove into a hidden alley and stopped.
Lu Nange put all three SUVs back into her storage space and handed the masks to everyone first.
He then took out more than ten backpacks, each stuffed with clothes and food, in preparation for inspection upon entering the Mu family base...
The macaw perched on Lu Xici's shoulder, while Xiao Zhizhi was held in Lu Beiye's arms, and vines wrapped around Lu Beiye's arm.
Lu Nange: "Let's go!"
The outer walls of the Mu family base look quite ordinary, mainly made of concrete with some metal reinforcement materials mixed in. There are no protective facilities such as electric grids installed on the top of the walls.
He Zhuo pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "Why does this madman's base look so stingy?"
Gu Qi nudged him lightly with his elbow, reminding him, "Keep your voice down, keep a low profile..."
As they approached the Mu family base, they saw a heavy iron gate blocking their way.
A small, irregularly cut window was opened in the iron gate, and it was being pulled open from the inside.
A man with buck teeth poked his head out of the window, eyeing them warily: "Who are you? Why aren't you wearing our base's armbands?"
Lu Nange: "A girl named Wang Xi said we could join the Mu family base."
The buck-toothed man curled his lip: "Want to get into the base? Fifteen level-one crystal cores per person."
He Zhuo muttered to himself, "[Shameless! It's five yuan more expensive than our base...]"
Gu Wan: "Didn't they say that ability users of level three or above don't need to pay crystal cores?"
The buck-toothed man rolled his eyes impatiently: "You have to pay first, then you can leave after you go in! Are you going in or not?"
Lu Nange: "Go in."
The buck-toothed man glanced at the crowd and continued, "Children count as heads too. There are twelve of you, so that's a total of one hundred and eighty level-one crystal cores."
As he spoke, he tossed a bucket out the window, which landed with a thud on the ground: "Put it in here."
Lu Nange opened the backpacks of Lu Xici, Chi Yanzhou, and Gu Qi one after another, took out 180 first-level crystal cores, and put them into the bucket one by one.
The buck-toothed man squinted at them, a smirk playing on his lips. "I didn't realize you were so capable, barely out of your teens... Come on in."
A small door next to it creaked open.
Two men came out and silently carried the bucket full of crystal cores inside.
While they were counting the crystal cores, Lu Nange and the others began filling out the base entry forms.
To avoid attracting attention, Lu Xici and Chi Yanzhou filled in "Level 3" in the ability level column, while the rest filled in "Level 2".
The buck-toothed man waved his hand and said gruffly, "Go in... walk straight along this road, the rental place is on your right."
Lu Nange and her group nodded and silently walked deeper into the base.
After they had gone some distance, the buck-toothed man and a group of guards huddled together and began to whisper among themselves.
"A bunch of suckers, they let us make a little money again."
"Brother, are there any level three ability users among them? What if they report us after they settle down?"
"Don't worry! This base is full of our people. As long as we stick to our guns, what evidence do they have to report us?"
Once Lu Nange and her group were far enough away from the gate, Lu Xici lowered his voice and said, "Wasn't it too easy to sneak in?"
Shi Xu looked around: "They didn't even have the most basic checks. They can just swagger in by handing over crystal cores... The management of the Mu family base is really too lax."
He Zhuo: "Sister, should we go find Wang Xi now?"
Lu Nange shook her head: "Let's not look for one yet. Let's find a place to settle down first..."
Patrol teams passed by on both sides from time to time. Although their equipment varied, they at least maintained a semblance of order.
The floor was fairly clean, indicating that it was regularly cleaned.
After walking for about eight minutes, a somewhat simple building appeared ahead—the rental and sales center that the buck-toothed guard had mentioned.
There were noticeably more survivors along the roadside, and the rental and sales center was bustling with people...
