Meng Xia's expression turned serious as she recalled the anomaly she had discovered. "The last few times I've been to the Chosen One Space, I've noticed that the atmosphere is getting increasingly tense. If nothing unexpected happens, the divine descent will be coming soon, and we don't have much time left."
An Ge then realized that Meng Xia was unaware of the Heavenly Dao's help in covering it up. However, since Meng Xia was also a chosen one, knowing this wouldn't be considered a violation of her promise to the Heavenly Dao.
Meng Xia was dizzy from listening, and it took her a long time to speak, "Little Ge'er, becoming your contractor is probably the best thing I've ever done. Thank you, Fang Yuanyuan."
She was genuinely grateful to Fang Yuanyuan. If it weren't for Fang Yuanyuan's intervention, given An Ge's personality, she definitely wouldn't have made a contract with her.
An Ge remained silent, watching Meng Xia act silly.
"Heaven has merely bought us time. If we want to ensure humanity is not threatened, the most important thing is to accelerate the development of a purifying agent for the black mist. My energy is too domineering and not suitable for research. Your special abilities and healing abilities both have purifying effects, so we can start from that direction."
"Can healing abilities also purify the black mist?" This was the first time Meng Xia had heard this claim, because in everyone's understanding, healing abilities were only useful for external injuries. Once bitten by a zombie, healers were helpless.
An Ge smiled mysteriously, "I wasn't sure before, but now I'm basically sure."
Emerging from An Ge's courtyard, Meng Xia concealed the shock in her eyes and headed straight for Gu Yixin's residence. As the base's top therapist, Gu Yixin was the perfect test subject.
Meanwhile, in a dilapidated room a thousand miles away from the Immortal's Fate Base, Luo Tao and Xue Shiqing huddled together in terror as they listened to the roars of zombies outside. Now, they had no special abilities or anything to rely on; even one or two first-tier zombies could take their lives.
"Ah, there are zombies there!" Xue Shiqing exclaimed.
"Shut up, are you out of your mind?" Luo Tao was terrified. Seeing the zombies getting closer and closer, he narrowed his eyes, pushed Xue Shiqing into the horde of zombies, and left as fast as he could.
"You despicable person, how dare you push me!" Xue Shiqing roared in despair before being swallowed up by the horde of zombies.
Luo Tao didn't know that even if he found a shield, in a place teeming with zombies, it was only a matter of time before he became one of them.
After finishing her business with Meng Xia, An Ge resumed her reclusive lifestyle. Recently, she'd been running into Cheng Jiang more and more frequently; he seemed no longer going to hide his feelings, and his words were tinged with ambiguity.
Fortunately, An Ge didn't use her real identity when she was out, so Cheng Jiang wouldn't know where she lived if she didn't go out.
However, Cheng Jiang seemed to have given up trying to please her during this time, spending his days hunting zombies and not staying at the base much. An Ge breathed a sigh of relief, but also began to pay attention to the Hope Base.
I heard from Zihao that there has been unrest at Hope Base.
Because they did not gain any advantage in this public opinion battle with the Immortal Fate Base, and because the actions of those in power were becoming increasingly excessive, many high-level ability users became increasingly dissatisfied with the Hope Base's actions and had several conflicts with the higher-ups.
However, those in power who could rule Hope Base could not all be incompetent. After several crackdowns, the unrest gradually subsided.
This turmoil had a significant impact, with a large number of high-level superhumans leaving the base, and even several powerful hunting teams departing from their base.
Wen Zihao has been experiencing both pain and joy lately, keeping himself extremely busy every day.
"Manager, I'm really overwhelmed. You have a good eye for talent, you need to find me some helpers." This was the first time Wen Zihao had protested to An Ge.
An Ge felt a little guilty. She had taken the position of base leader, but it seemed that she hadn't really been of much help.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely find you a capable assistant," An Ge assured him, patting his chest.
Having received An Ge's promise, Wen Zihao had no doubts and left happily. He was simply too busy; it was already difficult enough for him to find this little bit of time to search.
Watching Wen Zihao's departing figure, An Ge immediately deflated, her previous confident demeanor completely gone.
"Sigh, where can we find someone right now? We can't exactly call Hu Jiu over, can we? No, no, he's too busy, we can't let him get tired. If all else fails, I'll just have to do it myself."
She has the ability to detect good and evil values, but firstly, good and evil can be hidden, and what the Eye of Detection sees is not absolute. Secondly, Wen Zihao doesn't want his own people, but rather people who can manage things.
An Ge looked around but still couldn't find a suitable candidate. Just as she was about to take the job herself, she returned to the courtyard and saw Hu Jiu leaning against the door frame, looking at her with a smile.
Her eyes lit up, and she immediately ran over, looking up at him with a beaming smile, "Hu Jiu, what brings you here?"
Hu Jiu gave her a disgruntled look. "Of course I'm here to declare my status as the rightful wife. I heard from Lu Yan that you've been quite the ladies' man lately."
"Who would dare to boast in front of you! I knew Lu Yan was up to no good when he went back to the head office the other day." An Ge knew Lu Yan had no ill intentions, but she wondered when he would give up this love of watching the drama unfold.
Hu Jiu naturally took An Ge's hand. "I've finished dealing with things at the main store, so I came to keep you company. Speaking of which, I haven't had a proper look at the base yet, so I'll trouble you, Chief, to give me a tour."
"Alright, I, the chief, will reluctantly act as your guide this time."
The two held hands, chatting and laughing, looking just like an old married couple.
Soon, a beautiful sight appeared at the base.
A strikingly good-looking couple strolled leisurely throughout the base, as if on vacation. Those who knew An Ge's identity were utterly astonished; good heavens, they had actually seen their leader being led by the hand by a man!
After carefully observing Hu Jiu, the group felt much calmer. Although they didn't know the man's strength, they knew from the aura he exuded that his ability level was definitely not low. Both in appearance and strength, the man was undoubtedly top-tier, barely worthy of being their leader's man.
As for the ethereal-looking man who appeared earlier, he was probably the leader's older brother, since people at the scene said he looked very much like the leader.
An Ge and Hu Jiu were already used to being stared at, and they strolled around as if no one was around, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.
"Recently, there have been more and more people at the base. I heard that many small bases have moved here as a whole. The inn's protection range is not enough. Fortunately, the guard team now patrols the perimeter of the base, so I don't have to set up protective formations everywhere."
We've found a way to purify the water and soil, and we believe that results will soon be applied to the human body. Then, humans won't have to fear being bitten by zombies. Unfortunately, the divine descent is imminent, and we don't know how long this celestial power can remain hidden.
An Ge talked about the base little by little, her smile never stopping.
