Chapter 189 Fool
The bespectacled man pushed up his glasses, which were wrapped in tape, and glanced between the two female team members: "Huang Qin, you and Zhao Huan lead the way."
Huang Qin, who was stealing glances at Lu Xici and the others, suddenly snapped back to reality and hurriedly replied, "Yes...yes, Captain."
Two girls walked ahead, leading the way. The girl with the ponytail, who wasn't wearing a mask, nudged her companion with her elbow: "Huang Qin, where did they come from? They're all so handsome..."
"Shh!" Huang Qin nervously turned around and glanced back: "Zhao Huan, stop talking. Look at their clothes and equipment, we can't afford to offend them..."
Zhao Huan rolled her eyes: "What do you mean by 'can't afford to offend'? I'm not going to fight them, nor am I planning to steal their equipment. Can't I make friends?"
Huang Qin: "Zhao Huan, they don't look like ordinary people at all..."
Zhao Huan: "Alright, Huang Qin, aren't you tired of giving me all this lecture every day? You keep saying don't mess with her, but weren't you just staring at her like a madman?"
Huang Qin's ears instantly turned bright red: "I was just observing the new survivors!"
"Come on~" Zhao Huan drawled, "I haven't seen you pay attention to those who are pale and thin either?"
......
Lu Nange and her group walked at the very end of the procession. After winding along the rusty iron fence for seven or eight minutes, a towering concrete wall suddenly appeared, and the heavy iron gate was now wide open.
The bespectacled man pointed to the iron gate and said, "After registering at the guard post, you can live inside the base."
He adjusted his glasses, which were wrapped with tape around his nose: "There's a housing rental and sales office on the left when you come in, and a market on the right where you can buy supplies. As for the rest, you'll find out as you explore."
One after another, voices of thanks rang out.
After registering at the guard post, Lu Nange and her group passed through the iron gate.
The sight before them made them pause – a sign reading "Rental and Sales Department" hung on a low building to the left.
On both sides of the road to the right, various stalls were bathed in an orange-red glow under the setting sun, and the long-lost aroma of food wafted from the rising steam.
"The warmth of everyday life, which I haven't seen in so long, is like a mirage..." Wen Qing sighed softly.
Luo Xingyou: "It feels like going back to before the apocalypse..."
Gu Wanchang hummed in agreement: "If we ignore everyone's worn-out clothes, sallow skin, and sunken cheeks..."
Suddenly realizing everyone was staring at her, she touched her face and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?"
Gu Qi sighed, "Wanwan, try to avoid contact with He Zhuo in the future. Why is he so mean?"
He Zhuo immediately protested, "I'm just a chatterbox, it's you Gu family members who are truly vicious! Every time I see you licking your lips, I worry you'll poison yourselves to death..."
Gu Qi: "You really are half money and half wealth..."
Zhao Huan, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, suddenly cut into the middle of the line: "Hello everyone, my name is Zhao Huan~"
Her voice was sickeningly sweet: "I'm a living map of the base, I can show you wherever you want to go~"
As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Chi Yanzhou behind Lu Nange and Gu Wan.
Chi Yanzhou didn't even lift his eyelids, staring at the back of Lu Nange's head, his palm crackling with what seemed like lightning: [So noisy, should I just strike her dead or blind her? ...Won't Nannan like it?]
Gu Wan: "Thank you, but we don't need it!"
Zhao Huan's expression immediately changed: "I wasn't talking to you!" She looked at Chi Yanzhou in a affected manner: "Young man, look at her..."
Gu Wan rolled her eyes: "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a problem with your brain..."
Zhao Huan's face contorted, her carefully drawn eyebrows furrowed: "How can you speak so rudely? I was just trying to show you the way..."
Wen Qing: "Young lady, we don't need your kindness, please move aside..."
Zhao Huan: "Did I ask you? You old woman..."
"Smack!"
An invisible wind blade struck Zhao Huan directly in the face, knocking her to the ground.
Her carefully styled ponytail came undone and she fell awkwardly to the side of the road.
Lu Nange looked down at her: "If you're bored, go lick the toilet, don't just babble here..."
Lu Beiye silently withdrew his metal-type superpower that he had been holding back, and scurried his short legs to catch up with his sister.
The others didn't even bother to glance at them, and went straight to the rental and sales department.
"You guys—!" Zhao Huan got up from the ground.
She screamed hysterically, "Stop right there! Do you know who my father is—"
The guard jogged over to help her up, a smile plastered on his face, but inwardly he was cursing: [If this idiot hadn't been born with a good father, would she even be alive now...]
"Get out of my way!" Zhao Huan slapped the guard's hand away and screamed hysterically, "Go get my dad! Tell him someone's trying to kill me!"
The bespectacled man who had led Lu Nange and her group over earlier had just finished the handover at the gate and immediately jogged over: "Zhao Huan, can't you just behave yourself?"
"Pah!" Zhao Huan spat as he spoke, "Who do you think you are? You really think that just because you became sworn brothers with my dad, you're my uncle? You're nothing but a lackey my dad raised—"
"Take him away." Zhong Song interrupted directly, giving the guard a wink.
The two guards immediately activated their supernatural abilities, and metal and wood chains instantly bound Zhao Huan's limbs.
"Zhong Song! How dare you—" Huang Qin handed over the towel at just the right moment, which Zhong Song crumpled into a ball and stuffed into Zhao Huan's mouth.
Zhong Songmei's heart skipped a beat: "If it weren't for your father's sake, do you think anyone would care whether you, an idiot, live or die?"
Zhao Huan thrashed about like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, trying to kick the person. Even though her mouth was gagged, it was clear that she wasn't saying anything nice...
Zhong Song: "Huang Qin, four of those people have level three superpowers, the rest are level two..."
Huang Qin gasped: "Those people... there are four Level 3s?..."
Zhong Song looked at Huang Qin: "You go with those two to escort this idiot back, and while you're at it, tell her dad about that group of people. I'll report to the base commander and see if we can recruit them into our base..."
Huang Qin: "Okay, Captain Zhong."
Inside the rental and sales department lobby, Zhao Huan's screams could be faintly heard.
He Zhuo picked at his ear: "Looks like no matter what era you're in, you can still rely on your father's connections! But how many fathers does this idiot have? How can someone this stupid have survived until now?"
Luo Xingyou suddenly blurted out, "Is being a clown a good way to lose weight?"
Everyone turned to look at her. Luo Xingyou said, "I just think she's so thin she's practically skin and bones!"
Gu Wan: "Congratulations to Comrade Luo Xingyou on successfully graduating!"
He Zhuo: "Congratulations on adding another 'sharp-tongued' warrior to our roster!"
Luo Xingyou...
