Gu Yixin was lucky enough to encounter a small group of independent travelers who were preparing to seek refuge at the inn. These individuals were not particularly strong, and their departure as a group would not attract attention.
Along the way, the team encountered several waves of zombies, but before they could even make a move, they were wiped out by superhumans who suddenly appeared.
"You're heading to the inn, right? It'll be much safer to take this road." Wang Hao used to be a member of the Bright Squad. Hearing that Captain Wen was at the inn, he came to join them and is now a member of the Immortal Fate Base's guard team.
That's right. During this time, Wen Zihao had already started the construction of the base and, despite An Ge's advice, named the base the Immortal Fate Base.
After speaking, Wang Hao left without waiting for any questions. His trip hadn't yielded much; he planned to look for more zombies roaming the area.
Fortunately, Manager An eliminated the leader zombie. With the horde leaderless, the remaining zombies posed no threat. For these high-level ability users, as long as it wasn't a large zombie horde, there would be no danger.
Manager Lu also cleared out a wave of zombies from the base to the inn, so now he only dares to come out alone when there are only a few scattered zombies.
As Gu Yixin watched the departing figure, her eyes grew brighter and brighter. This was truly the demeanor of a chivalrous person.
In just one month since the apocalypse began, Gu Yixin's attitude towards it had changed from curiosity and excitement to sadness and fear. Especially after witnessing the miserable lives of ordinary people, her aversion to the apocalypse reached its peak.
When she arrived at the inn and saw the smiles on people's faces, she felt even more certain that she had made the right choice.
When Gu Yixin arrived, the inn was already full. She still had some crystal cores, and being a superhuman, she could make a good living wherever she went. She lavishly bought herself a fairly clean residence, and then rushed to the inn to buy everything she could.
Since the end of the world, she has developed a phobia of scarcity.
Gu Yixin was somewhat disappointed. She had heard that the inn's rooms had many amazing features, most importantly, absolute safety and clean water. It seemed she wouldn't be able to experience them. Fortunately, the base leader had considered everyone's needs and specially set up a bathhouse next to the inn.
This bathhouse wasn't obtained through an upgrade of the inn, but rather through a special building that Meng Xia drew in the lottery. It has a constant indoor temperature and can automatically clean itself; soaking in it can even beautify and nourish the skin.
Meng Xia had already become indifferent to the fact that An Ge had a sacred spring and a bathhouse; her good fortune always seemed to manifest itself in various strange places.
As a rare treatment, Gu Yixin's arrival immediately caught Wen Zihao's attention, not to mention that she came from the Hope Base.
After understanding the situation, Wen Zihao thought for a while and said, "Judging from her appearance, she seems to be just curious about the inn. Since she's here, let's try our best to keep her here. Being too wary and missing out on such a talented person would be a loss for us."
As more and more people came to the base, Wen Zihao, on An Ge's advice, devoted most of his energy to the base's construction, and became increasingly imposing.
However, he did not place himself in the position of leader as An Ge had suggested. Everyone in the base knew that the real leader behind the Immortal Fate Base was An Ge, who was also the owner of the inn.
Unlike his time in the Bright Squad, Wen Zihao has moved from behind the scenes to the forefront.
After everyone left, Wen Zihao, abandoning his previous seriousness and composure, quickly ran to the courtyard where An Ge was. Although Zhang Zhengyi was now in charge of the inn, he still habitually reported matters concerning the base to An Ge.
After setting up protective arrays at several residences, An Ge had nothing to do and became a hands-off manager again, at most restocking the supermarket when it was out of stock. She felt like a supplier rather than an innkeeper.
Xiaoqi said that she had wanted to become a wholesaler before but failed, so now she has realized her dream.
"Why don't you say I'm neglecting my duties?" An Ge asked curiously.
"Everything you're doing now, Master, is for the good of the inn. I believe in you. Of course, more importantly, more and more people are grateful to you, and this power of faith has made me feel much more fulfilled."
"It sounds like running an inn is just a side job, while collecting faith power has become the main business."
"That's not entirely true. Our inn is doing very well now, and it will be upgraded again soon. Compared to the power of faith, the upgrade of the branch will benefit me more. Each plane has different circumstances, and the master must adapt to local conditions."
"You've only been in school for a short time, but you speak so eloquently." An Ge looked at the short and stocky Xiao Qi and couldn't help but laugh.
Even without Xiaoqi saying it, she knew that Xiaoqi had grown a lot during this time, after all, she was a little taller than before.
Just one point!
Even so, Xiaoqi was overjoyed and would measure her height at least three times a day from then on.
Compared to An Ge's leisurely life, everyone has their own things to do, and even Meng Xia is so busy that she is rarely seen.
An Ge was traveling back and forth between the two dimensions. She had just returned from the main store and saw Wen Zihao's hurried appearance. She couldn't help but tease him, "Hey, slow down. You're the person in charge of the base. You should have some self-image."
Wen Zihao was extremely embarrassed; the store manager had been teasing him more and more lately.
"Manager, a healing ability user of at least level six has just arrived at the base. What do you think we should do with him?"
An Ge was somewhat surprised. Healing abilities were already rare, especially high-level ones. Which base was so foolish as to release someone?
When she learned it was Hope Base, she calmly said "Oh," and continued, "Hope Base, oh, that's not surprising."
The inn has traded with Hope Base several times, but the other party doesn't seem to have any intention of improving the lives of the people in the base. In fact, many people, having eaten and drunk their fill and no longer burdened by material needs, have become idle and started causing trouble, vividly demonstrating what it means to be bored and have nothing better to do.
The Hope Base is no longer suitable for mid-level ability users to survive. Many conscientious ability users are dissatisfied with this situation and have left the base.
Although the Hope Base has formulated policies to restrict the departure of high-level ability users, there are always countermeasures to policies, and given the strength of high-level ability users, no one can stop them from leaving if they want to.
An Ge felt that if things continued to develop like this, the leader would eventually become restless.
All of this owes much to Zhang Zhengyi. On the surface, he is the owner of the inn, but in reality, he has defected to the Hope Base and has even gained the trust of many high-ranking officials in a short period of time.
God knows how he did it?
With this identity, Zhang Zhengyi stirred up trouble in the base, arousing sympathy among high-level ability users for ordinary people and dissatisfaction with those in power.
Meanwhile, Zhang Zhengyi has another identity: he is now an undercover agent planted by the Hope Base in the inn.
When An Ge heard about this, she was taken aback and silently gave Zhang Zhengyi a thumbs up.
To go to such lengths as an undercover agent is truly remarkable.
