Wen Qing unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes: "Nan Nan... During this time, we've been at the market, coming and going, and we've heard a lot about the Rock Base."
But none of the news was good. Most said that besides the slaves, the rest of the inhabitants of that rocky base were ruthless, cannibalistic people. "We..."
Lu Nange gently placed her warm palm on Wen Qing's slightly cool hand.
"Sister Wenqing, in Beijing right now, apart from the Longteng and Panshi bases which are strictly managed, restricting personnel from entering and leaving, and heavily blocking information,..."
The remaining bases in Beijing are basically open to all, with no restrictions on the movement of people.
However, the news of our Flameheart Market opening has spread quite widely and has lasted for quite some time.
If my aunt and uncle were still in Beijing, and in some relatively free base, they should have heard the news long ago and tried to contact us or come directly to us.
But now, they've been completely out of contact...
"Eliminate all the impossibilities, and what remains, even if you're unwilling to believe it, might be the truth..."
He Zhuo: "Sister Wenqing, Meibao is right, as long as Uncle and Aunt are still alive..."
Gu Qi: "Shut up! Nan Nan, continue!"
He Zhuo realized he had misspoke and quickly scratched his head, looking apologetic as he said to Wen Qing, "Sister Wen Qing, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean that! I just... I just think what Mei Bao said makes sense, and we should try to move in a positive direction!"
Wen Qing: "Xiao He, it's alright! I've prepared for the worst. But no matter what, I want to keep searching and get some definite news."
Lu Nange: "Sister Wenqing, we will always be by your side and face this together with you!"
My uncle and aunt are very likely in either the Longteng or Panshi base.
Besides, we have other people to look for... Whether it's a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, we'll have to explore it sooner or later...
Standing to the side, Chi Yanzhou, Lu Xici, Gu Qi, and Shi Xu all keenly grasped the unspoken deeper meaning in Lu Nange's words.
We really need to find a way to expose the mastermind behind this, that 'boss' who's lurking in the shadows like a venomous snake!
Otherwise, this feeling of the enemy being in the dark while I am in the light is truly terrible and far too passive!
Chi Yanzhou: "Sister Wenqing, the feud between us and Panshi started a long time ago."
Including today, they have already caused trouble in our market in two groups. Judging from the rumored vengeful nature of the Rock Base, they will definitely not let this go.
Even if we don't go looking for them, they'll come knocking on our door sooner or later.
Rather than waiting here for them to launch an attack at any time and in any way, putting us on the defensive and potentially endangering the safety of other members in the base, we should take the initiative!
Let's catch them off guard and eliminate this hidden danger completely!
Lu Xici, who was leaning against the wall, nodded upon hearing this and straightened up.
"Brother Yan's analysis makes sense; this is indeed not an unfounded worry."
Thinking about it more deeply, we Flameheart people aren't just holed up in the base all the time anymore.
Occasionally, he would form his own team or go out alone to collect supplies he needed or to run some personal errands.
