Jin Xiao squinted as he watched Lu Nange and her group turn and leave. He immediately panicked and shouted again, "Brother Yan! Brother Qi!...It's us! It's me and Asheng..."
Seeing that the other person wasn't stopping, he quickly turned to his companions and said, "Ah Sheng, Ah Shuang, you guys shout too! Yan Ge and the others probably didn't hear us!"
Lin Shuang couldn't stand it anymore and took a deep breath: [Calm down! It was my choice, my choice... Even if my cerebellum isn't fully developed, I can't get angry...]
She grabbed Jin Xiao, who was still yelling at the top of his lungs, and pulled him so hard that he stumbled.
Pepper, standing next to him, rubbed his temples. "Brother Jin Xiao, this is a bit embarrassing... Can we... be a little more reserved?"
Lin Shuang gave Si Sheng and the other members of Xingmang a polite but awkward smile.
"Um... Commander, everyone, please excuse my poor appearance... Could you please wait here for a moment? I need to speak with Jin Xiao for a few minutes."
Si Sheng remained expressionless, nodding slightly in agreement.
Having received approval, Lin Shuang immediately pulled Jin Xiao aside: "Brother Jin, do you really not understand?"
Jin Xiao looked bewildered and blinked...
Lin Shuang: "When we approached just now, Miss Lu and the others thought we were the enemy and lined up to fight!"
As a result, the moment they heard your voice, they turned and left without saying a word. Why do you think that is? Huh?
Jin Xiao: "They definitely didn't hear us clearly! Or...or they thought we were imposters?"
Lin Shuang rolled her eyes in exasperation at his peculiar thought process.
Seeing her expression, Jin Xiao belatedly probed, "Ah Shuang...you mean...Yan Ge and the others...dislike us?"
Isn't that obvious?
"Impossible, we're brothers!"
"...Brother Jin, I'm begging you, when we get there, please ask fewer questions, speak less, and offer fewer opinions."
Can I learn to lower my profile like the base commander?
Jin Xiao: "But..."
"No buts! If you don't want Miss Lu and the others to just take action later and swat us away like annoying flies, then listen to me!"
Si Sheng glanced over indifferently: "Listen to Lin Shuang."
Jin Xiao completely deflated, drooping his head like a wilted eggplant, and reluctantly replied, "...I understand."
As the group from Starlight Base approached the location of the Flameheart Ability User again, Xiao Jin, whose body was riddled with holes by Yu Wei's dagger and should have been dead, began to twitch!
Then, he suddenly opened his eyes—but his pupils had turned green!
Its mouth opened unconsciously, emitting a "hoarse" roar as it struggled to get up!
"Watch out!" Luo Xingyou reacted quickly, pulling Yu Wei, who was standing next to the corpse, away.
At the same time, she flipped her wrist, and a golden light flashed. A small but sharp golden dart, accompanied by the sound of air being cut, pierced directly into Xiao Jin's brow!
The body, which had just begun to turn into a zombie, suddenly stiffened and then became completely still.
Chi Yi stepped forward and manipulated the vines to loosen their bindings on the corpse. At the same time, a sharper vine pierced Xiao Jin's skull, from which a level-five crystal core was extracted...
When Si Sheng led his men to the cordon set up by the Flame Heart team, Lu Nange and the others were intently surrounding the heavy door of the Pan Shi underground laboratory.
They were whispering and discussing something, seemingly completely unaware of their arrival, or rather, they didn't care at all.
Si Sheng and the people from the Starlight Base instinctively wanted to move closer.
