Zhan Si could tell what Nan Xiangwan was thinking just by looking at her expression, and then whispered in her ear, "Let's find a place to stay first, and then we can discuss it further."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
After everyone else had dug out the crystal cores, Wang Hao got into the front vehicle, while the two injured people were carried to the back vehicle.
Thinking that I had something to take care of, I simply found a safe place to stay in Jiang Province. This time, I estimate it will be a few days before I can leave.
After everyone was settled, Nan Xiangwan discussed with Zhan Siyu, "Do you think what these two people said is reliable?"
"My first impression is that he doesn't seem like a bad person, but some things still need to be verified." After all, anyone can say whatever they want.
"So, what do you think? Should we go check out this Bright Base? If it's really as they say, maybe we can pick up a few psychics."
Zhan Si was a little excited when he saw Nan Xiangwan, and said lovingly, "Are you planning to poach her?"
"Hehe, you guessed it right. Of course, the premise is that the base commander is not a good person."
"Then I'll go with you."
"What's the meaning?"
"You, with so many of us, we'd be too conspicuous a target. They wouldn't dare to show their claws quickly after we get in. But think about it, if it were just the two of us, one with superpowers and one without, do you think they would act too quickly?"
"That seems to make sense." Then he asked, somewhat confusedly, "If it's just the two of us, what identity should we use to go to the base?"
"Brother and sister or lovers, but if we're siblings, we don't look alike, which would be too much of a problem. Being lovers is the best. Once we're inside, I'll show that I care about you a lot, and I think they'll definitely target you first. At that point, we won't need to stay at the base for too long. You know the current situation; the sooner we head north, the better. We can't afford to waste time." After saying that, he carefully glanced at Nan Xiangwan, afraid that she wouldn't agree. Actually, he also had his own selfish motives; he was afraid that she would find out and reject him.
But he was still overthinking it. After all, Nan Xiangwan's current thoughts were not going in that direction at all.
"In that case, let's go. But we have to change cars and make ourselves look a little embarrassed. If we act a little cowardly, they will let their guard down. What do you say? If it's possible, we can go tomorrow."
Zhan Siyu was secretly pleased that she agreed so quickly, but he didn't show it on his face. He continued, "I'll do as you say. I'll make arrangements for the others later, and we'll set off tomorrow."
After dinner that night, Zhan Siyu gathered everyone for a meeting. After they heard the content of the meeting, they didn't say anything. Nan Haochen was the first to quit, angrily saying, "I want to go too. I don't want to leave my sister."
Nan Xiangwan looked at her younger brother speechlessly, "Are you a giant baby? Or a baby who hasn't been weaned? We're going to do business, not play. The fewer people the better. Even if something happens, the two of us can evacuate quickly. If we take you with us, we'll have to take care of you if something happens. Besides, we'll be back as soon as possible. You just need to wait obediently at the base camp. And both warehouses are gone. Do you want them to starve to death?"
Nan Xiangwan's words were quite clear, and even if Nan Haochen threw a tantrum, he couldn't say anything more. After all, there were only two warehouses on the surface, and with the captain not around, it would be difficult for him to go there. It would be fine if he were at home, but the key was that he was only staying here temporarily and didn't dare to take out too much of anything. In the end, his little face turned as angry as a pufferfish, and he sat back down in his chair without saying a word.
At this time, Zhan Siyu also continued, "During the few days when we are away, Situ Mo will be the temporary captain. You must cooperate unconditionally, and Bei Minghao will assist. If it becomes unsafe here, continue along the previous route. I will leave the car with you. Of course, it is best to wait until we return. If you can avoid going out recently, please do so. It is better to stay at home in an unfamiliar environment."
"Yes, we understand. We will try our best to wait for you to return. If anything changes, I will leave a mark along the way."
"Well, from now on, this place is up to you. I'll leave some weapons with Haochen, as well as food."
After hearing this, Situ Mo nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting. I'm going to go check on the two injured and find out more about the situation."
After Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Si met, they talked about something else, but their expressions weren't very good when they came out.
"Anan, I'll start the broken car downstairs tomorrow morning. The worse it gets for us, the better."
"Okay, you can handle it. It's late, I'm going back to my room now. See you tomorrow morning."
"Well, good night."
When Nan Xiangwan returned to the house, she saw her younger brother still sulking. She chuckled and said, "Are you a doormat? I told you I'd be back soon. Besides, I have a secret weapon; no one can hurt me. Don't be angry. How about I give you some more treats?"
Finally, Nan Haochen reluctantly gave in to the temptation of various delicious foods, saying, "Then you must take good care of yourself. I'll be waiting for you at home."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll live a good life until I find a man to marry." She thought to herself that she couldn't die without sleeping with a handsome man in this life, otherwise she would be an old maid in both her lives and would be laughed to death in the underworld.
"Okay, then you should go to sleep early."
Afterwards, Nan Xiangwan asked her brother to watch the door while she went to the space to prepare the props and cosmetics she would need for tomorrow. Of course, she also took a hot bath. Thinking that she would not be able to take a bath for several days after going out tomorrow, she had to wash herself clean before going out.
After a night's rest, Nan Xiangwan and Zhan Siyu changed their clothes and put on makeup the next day, and drove off in their old car as others watched.
"A Zhan, your car is too shabby, you're overacting."
"It's okay. This is more like fleeing. Besides, I also packed up some of the lesser-quality snacks I collected at the snack factory. We can't go empty-handed, or those people won't accept us."
"You're so thoughtful, I almost forgot about that. But it's still too good for those people to get away with it."
"Don't worry about it. At worst, I'll just get the interest back after I find out where their warehouse is."
"Yes, let's go. From today on, you are my brother Zhan. Hehe, you have to cooperate with me in acting."
When Zhan Siyu heard her call him "Brother Zhan", his heart skipped a beat. He really liked her calling him that.
Then he replied lovingly: "Okay, I will definitely cooperate with you, just do your best."
"Oh, big fat sheep, here we come..."
After a bumpy journey, the two finally found the Bright Base. Looking at the base in front of him, Nan Xiangwan thought to himself that the captain was really something, actually thinking of enclosing an entire industrial zone of buildings as a base. It was indeed impressive.
