Chapter 397: Disguise and Infiltrate
After the three of them left this small safe base, they were all in a bad mood. Although there was really no need to be angry with those people, they rushed to save people, but in the end they were slandered and accused of deliberately controlling the groups of mutant beasts and birds to attack the base. The three of them really couldn't calmly pretend that it had never happened.
Therefore, on the way, when they were looking for zombies or mutants, they deliberately avoided those safe bases to avoid repeating the same mistakes and misunderstandings. Besides, the main purpose of their outing this time was to gain experience and practice, so there was no need to get involved too much with other survivors.
During their search, they found many places where zombies or mutant beasts were hiding. However, if the mutant beasts did not attack humans, there was no need for them to actively kill them. So, they set their sights on the zombie groups.
They walked and stopped like this, searching and hunting zombies during the day, and at night they found a deserted place and hid in the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion to eat and meditate. Because they were moving so fast, they had already reached the area of Bei City by the morning of the next day.
This place used to be Bai Ye's hometown. He has lived in Bei City for more than 20 years and has a deep affection for this place. If it weren't for the persecution of the Bai family and Zhao Qiankun, he would probably still stay in the Bei City base, living an honest life of hunting zombies and completing tasks. It would be impossible for him to leave his hometown with others and go to the distant Long Province to build his own base.
Coming to the area of Bei City again, the three of them inevitably recalled the unpleasant things that happened here. However, thinking that they now had their own base and had developed it into a paradise in the end times, the three of them couldn't help but feel better, and the unpleasant things in the past could no longer shake their mood.
Fang Yuxin asked Bai Ye: "Do you plan to go back and take a look?"
Bai Ye shook his head. Those who should leave had already left with them. Those remaining people had nothing to do with him anymore. What was there to see?
Fang Yuxin looked at Fang Yuyang again and asked him, "Brother, do you want to go and take a look?"
Fang Yuyang also shook his head. He was not born and raised in Bei City, and he had not stayed in the Bei City base for a few days. All he had left were bad memories. What was there to see? As for the Qu family, he had never considered them as his relatives!
Fang Yuxin sighed: "When we left, Zhao Qiankun's forces had already had the strength to compete with the Bai family, and even got a handle on the Bai family. The remaining forces were nothing to them. Now more than three months have passed, and I don't know what the situation here is like."
After saying that, she looked at Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang: "If I want to go and take a look, if you don't plan to go, then..."
Before she could finish her words, they both interrupted her in unison: "No! We have to go together!"
Then, Bai Ye asked her with some dissatisfaction: "Xinxin, why do you want to go to the Bei City base?" As he asked, he suddenly thought of Zhao Qiankun who had intentions towards Fang Yuxin! Thinking of this, his mood suddenly became worse!
Fang Yuxin looked at the two and smiled: "Have you forgotten? Zhao Qiankun still has a very powerful trump card in his hand. He may have mastered some technology that does not belong to this era. I just want to see what he has come up with. If there is anything, we can collect it and take it back to the people in the institute for research."
When Bai Ye thought of Zhao Qiankun, his IQ was so high that he ran away from home. It was not until he heard Fang Yuxin's words that he understood Fang Yuxin's plan. Then his mood immediately improved. Not only did he not stop Fang Yuxin, he also said, "Then I'll go with you."
Fang Yuyang was even more straightforward than him: "I'll go too."
Fang Yuxin already knew that they would definitely go, so he said, "There must be a lot of people in the base who know us. We can't just go in like this. We have to disguise ourselves."
Bai Ye was puzzled: "How to disguise?" Of course he knew about disguise. He used to be a mercenary, and he often disguised himself when doing missions, and different missions would have different disguises, so he was actually quite good at it. But now it was the end of the world, and there were all kinds of strange and bizarre superpowers, so the previous disguise methods were not enough, and he didn't have any equipment.
Fang Yuxin took out a small jade bottle and poured out three green pills from it, explaining: "This is Huanyan Pill, which is used to disguise oneself in the world of cultivation. After taking it, one can disguise oneself as a different person. With our cultivation level, as long as we restrain our aura and disguise our temperament, we should not be recognized."
Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang didn't know how to make pills, so they looked at the green pill in her hand curiously, thinking that such a small pill could have miraculous effects.
Fang Yuxin added: "Let's find a secluded place and take the Huanyan Pill without further ado."
Bai Ye is an expert in disguise. He suggested: "We can't bring Angela and Bai Er in. People in the base have seen them and will definitely recognize them. In addition, it's best not to bring Wu Jin in. It's too conspicuous. Even if people in the base haven't seen it and won't associate it with us, it will easily attract the attention of others and cause trouble."
Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang both nodded in agreement. Fang Yuxin said, "I will let them stay in the space, and others will definitely not be able to find them."
Bai Ye continued, "We can't bring our pets, and we don't have any other means of transportation, so we can only walk to the Bei City base. So to avoid suspicion from the people inside, we'd better pretend to be someone who was attacked on the road with his companions and survived by chance. We can't be too strong, and it's best to look embarrassed, and don't look too outstanding, it's best to have an ordinary face that is not recognizable."
Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang nodded again, and then Bai Ye made some suggestions on disguise. The three of them had a brief discussion, and after reaching a conclusion, they took the Huanyan Pill and began to change their appearance.
According to Bai Ye, the three of them have turned themselves into ordinary people, but although their appearance has changed, their temperament is still unique. If you look at others, you will feel that although they look ordinary, they are very charming.
Afterwards, Fang Yuxin found some clothes for everyone to change into, but the clothes she took out were either new or very clean, and they didn't look like those of people who had just fallen on hard times.
Bai Ye glanced at Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang, and felt that their disguise was still not good enough, so he suggested: "How about this, let's go out and find some zombies or mutants to kill, add some blood to our bodies, and then tear our clothes a little, that should be enough."
Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang didn't know as much as Bai Ye in this regard, so they just listened to him. But before leaving, Fang Yuxin found three more backpacks, two of which were given to Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang, and she had the smallest one. It's not that she was lazy, but her identity as a wood element was not easy to disguise, and they were in trouble. If there were no wounds on her body, people would definitely be suspicious, unless there was a wood element in the team.
After leaving Qingmu Lingfu, the three went to look for prey nearby. Bai Er, Angela, and Wu Jin stayed in Qingmu Lingfu to avoid suspicion. Fortunately, the population density of Bei City was high, and they really found zombies. Mutants were not so easy to find. The three spent some effort to finally find a mutant that had lost its mind, killed it, and then smeared the blood on their coats.
After all this trouble, the three of them looked much more embarrassed, and finally no one could find any flaws in them. Then they headed towards the Bei City base.
The weather in Bei City was still very cold, but it was much better than Long Province. The three of them were disguised as psychics who had just been promoted to level 2. Coupled with their miserable appearance and the forgettable faces, they were really just like everyone else, without any characteristics at all.
Although there are relatively few wood-type mutants, more than three months have passed now, and the number of second-level wood-type mutants in the Bei City base has become considerable, not to mention the second-level mutants, which are even more numerous and will not attract much attention from others.
Perhaps because the population density of Bei City was originally very high, there were many zombies here after the apocalypse. Although the weather was cold now, there were still zombies wandering outside the base from time to time, waiting for an opportunity to strike. So before the three of them even got close to the Bei City base, they had already encountered zombie hunters out hunting.
Of course, there weren't many zombie hunters going out to hunt at this time. The weather was too cold. If you wore too much, your movements would be restricted. If you wore too little, your body would be frozen. Almost all the people going out to hunt were Level 2 Psychics. Level 3 Psychics were proud of their status. Unless they encountered a group of zombies, they were too lazy to come out. Psychics below Level 2 were average in strength and could not withstand the cold.
As soon as the three appeared, the corpse hunters surrounded them vigilantly. One of them asked, "Who are you? What is your purpose here?"
The bodies of advanced zombies are no longer rotten, but have taken on a sickly pale color. Even their originally blood-red eyes can be disguised as pitch black. If they were wearing clothes, it would be impossible to tell them apart without careful observation.
The population density in Bay City is high, there are many zombies, and there are more advanced zombies. There have been cases where advanced zombies disguised themselves as humans and tried to blend into the corpse hunters who were out hunting, and then attacked them when the corpse hunters were not paying attention.
So after that incident, these corpse hunters who went out were very cautious. Fang Yuxin and the other three didn't even have a means of transportation, and there was no one else around, so it was natural that they would arouse suspicion.
However, this situation has not happened in the Hope Base, so they don't know about it yet. Seeing the zombie hunters surrounding the three of them cautiously, Bai Ye had to raise his hands and said in a surrendering manner: "Don't get me wrong, we have no ill intentions! We are from other places, and the convoy was attacked by a group of zombies on the road. The three of us managed to escape with great difficulty."
