In recent days, thick smoke has been seen rising from many places in S City from the base.
The temperature was too high, and the trees were already dead, making them easier to ignite. Once a fire started, there was no time to react, and it spread rapidly.
Fortunately, the base can still afford to buy a batch of the temperature-controlled suits from the supermarket. Wearing those, at least people can still be sent out without getting sunburned.
People in the base are struggling to even get drinking water, let alone use it to put out fires. The only option is to have earth-elemental ability users create firebreaks at the site of the fire to prevent it from spreading into the city.
Thermostatic suits are not something everyone can afford, and fewer and fewer people are walking around outside the base, especially at midday when there are none at all. The base is visibly desolate.
Just as Xin'er sensed a huge energy fluctuation and realized that the zombies outside were starting to upgrade collectively, Wenwen, who was always well-behaved, suddenly found her.
Xin'er was surprised after hearing what she said.
"You said you want to go out?"
These days, the adults are all busy. Sister Xia hired a nanny to take care of Wenwen and Ranran. She also arranged learning tasks for the two children every day, so Xin'er rarely sees them.
Wenwen grabbed Xiaoqing's tail from her wrist and held it out to Xin'er.
"There are many of their companions that need to be saved, otherwise they will die."
Xin'er glanced at the bamboo viper, whose size had remained unchanged, and raised an eyebrow.
"Its companion? Isn't it from the same zoo as Little Gray and Little Eagle?"
At this moment, Xin'er deliberately released her soul power and heard Xiao Qing and Wen Wen's conversation.
Xiaoqing: "I sensed that the life force of those mutated beasts is very weak. If we don't go now, it will be too late."
Wenwen: "I won't go if my sister doesn't let me."
Xiaoqing: "Those are dozens of mutated beasts! If we bring them back, the boss will be happy, they can help us with the work."
Wenwen: "I want to give my sister a surprise."
Wenwen tugged at Xin'er's sleeve, looking pitiful.
"Sister, please."
Xin'er smiled with some relief, ruffling Wenwen's smooth hair. "Little one, you even know how to surprise me."
"Since you want to go so much, then go. Don't take off your protective suit, and bring Little Eagle with you too."
Despite her young age, Wenwen's superpower is already at level four and is about to reach level five, which is higher than Carl and the others.
Moreover, when she went to the Starfire Base before, Carl and the others took Wenwen with them, and her use of superpowers was already highly proficient.
In addition, he was wearing a protective suit that could withstand damage from level 7 supernatural abilities, and he had a bald eagle as a seat...
Xin'er felt comfortable letting her go out alone.
Wenwen happily hugged her waist and said sweetly, "Thank you, sister! You're the best!"
"You're so sweet-talking. Go ahead, but come back soon."
Xin'er threw the little eagle out of the space, but in the end she couldn't resist and left a soul mark on Wenwen so that she could sense anything at any time.
Wenwen sat on the little eagle's back, pointing in the direction they were going.
"Little Eagle, let's go over there!"
Xin'er stood by the second-floor window, watching the black dot in the sky gradually shrink. She thought that once the task was completed, she should also look for Wenwen to see if any of her family members were still alive.
Feeling bored being outside alone, she slipped into her spatial dimension to continue crafting teleportation stones, defense stones, and space stones, which she planned to sell; the more inventory she had, the better.
·
Country Y.
Carl and his group had the defensive stones given to them by Xin'er, so they encountered no trouble on the way and arrived in Country Y smoothly. They then used the special signal of the battle wings to contact Gavin and his group and rendezvous with them.
"Boss!"
After several months, they were all excited to finally see their boss.
Carl noticed they had all lost weight and gotten much darker, and some were even missing limbs or seriously injured. His heart sank.
"You've worked hard."
Blood Pheasant now had one eye covered by a black cloth, making him a one-eyed hero.
"Hey, boss, you're being too polite."
The vulture grabbed the blood pheasant's shoulder, its voice filled with anger.
What's wrong with my eyes?
If someone is injured but still alive, then the injury must not have been from fighting zombies; it must have been caused by someone.
Blood Pheasant pursed her lips. "Saiaka will."
His awakened eye enhancement ability, which Sister Xin calls "clairvoyance," has led him to take charge of reconnaissance and surveillance tasks for the team.
They were ambushed by members of the Saiaka Society multiple times. The other side had discovered the uniqueness of his superpower and had someone take sabotage against him.
Vulture clenched his fists angrily, "Damn it, those bastards, let me go and wipe them out."
He was about to rush out when Blood Pheasant grabbed him.
"Revenge isn't urgent. It's alright, I still have one eye, it won't affect anything."
Blood Pheasant proudly pointed to his good eye, wanting to tell everyone with a smile that he was alright.
But because of his actions, many people who usually shed blood but not tears were moved to tears.
Carl patted Blood Pheasant on the shoulder reassuringly and made a promise.
“I will take back from the Saiaka Society a hundredfold, a thousandfold, for the injuries you have suffered.”
The vulture shouted in agreement, "Yes, get it back!"
Carl scanned the more than two hundred people present, noting that many familiar faces were not among them. He turned to Gavin beside him and asked...
"Where are the hornbills?"
His words caused a moment of silence, the atmosphere heavy with tension.
Gavin lowered his head, his voice choked with emotion, "Boss, I'm sorry."
After he said that, everyone knew that the hornbill was gone.
A blood pheasant is injured, but at least the person is still alive; a hornbill is gone forever.
Carl's voice was hoarse. "They did it too?"
It's impossible not to be heartbroken after so many years of brothers who have gone through thick and thin together.
Gavin's eyes were filled with hatred. "It was them. They joined forces with other gangs and have been trying to wipe us out."
"Not only the hornbills, but also Alice, Ad... many of our brothers have fallen at their hands."
After hearing Gavin's story, Carl was nearly overwhelmed by rage. It took him a great deal of effort to suppress the urge to crush Saiaka immediately.
Reason told him that this matter needed careful planning. Saiaka had been able to hold out here for so long because he possessed considerable strength. He couldn't let a moment of impulsiveness lead to more brothers being injured or even killed.
"Cassowaries and vultures, distribute the supplies first, then let the team rest. They will pay back what they owe us."
In unison, everyone shouted, "Yes, boss!"
With Carl around, they have a backbone; the War Wings are still here; the War Wings have not fallen.
