The lady's idea was simple: once this wave of red moon tide passed, she would take back double the amount of crystal cores that Ruan Tian had asked for.
Make Ruan Tian pay a heavy price!
Li Canhua, however, felt this was inappropriate and raised a question:
"Madam, aren't we being a little too hasty in doing this?"
The lady raised her eyes and glanced at Li Canhua. She seemed expressionless, but she was already dissatisfied.
"When have I ever made a mistake in my decision-making? Just do as I say."
She was very confident in herself, and over the years, apart from that failed marriage, she had never made a mistake.
"I see."
Li Canhua keenly sensed that the lady was angry, so she immediately stopped talking and turned to leave.
She took out 30,000 crystal cores from the lady's safe, and asked other survivors for some more, barely managing to gather 50,000 crystal cores.
Li Canhua took the heavy bag and threw it directly at Ruan Tian's feet.
"There are about 50,000 crystal cores here, is that enough?"
Ruan Tian rubbed her hands together, looked at the mountain of crystal cores piled up at her feet, and couldn't help but swallow.
The other survivors' eyes held greed, but even more so, heartache.
Because they also have a share of these 50,000 crystal cores.
"Miss Canhua, what if we can't get this crystal core back?"
"There are hundreds of my crystal cores inside! If they don't replenish them, wouldn't they be losing out big time!"
Li Canhua turned around and glared at them, then spoke without hesitation:
"This is Madam Bi Wan! How dare you doubt her? If she finds out, you'll be in deep trouble!"
After that barrage of words, those people fell silent.
The lady embodies absolute authority within the base.
Without any hesitation, Ruan Tian secretly hid the crystal core in her storage space.
In the latter half of the Red Moon, the zombies become increasingly ferocious, and the casualties become increasingly severe.
Li Canhua initially kept a close eye on Ruan Tian, but was later called to Entrance A to defend against the zombies.
The number of survivors who could walk normally at point b gradually decreased, and most of them were wounded.
Ruan Tian waited for a while, and the roars of the zombies outside grew louder and louder, their sharp nails scratching incessantly at the walls.
Feeling curious, she went closer to the iron fence at entrance B and peeked out.
Some zombies were controlled by Bi Wan's psychic abilities.
Bi Wan manipulated these zombies to resist the invasion of other zombies. With these controlled zombies as human shields, Li Canhua's fireball spells were accurate every time she threw them.
Ruan Tian watched with great interest and commented, "I have to say, Madam's superpower is indeed quite impressive."
No wonder no one in the entire base dared to confront the lady directly.
Mental abilities are extremely rare. Looking at the survivor bases in cities D and C, there is only one mental ability user, Madam.
Ruan Tian pulled Bai Chulan over and asked him to watch it together.
"Look at this, doesn't it look just like Plants vs. Zombies!"
Bai Chulan nodded, glanced around, and saw that the time was about right.
"After this batch of zombies is cleared out, we'll escape in a tricycle before the next wave arrives."
Ruan Tian was initially quite relaxed, but upon hearing Bai Chulan's words, she immediately became tense.
What if we can't escape?
Bai Chulan reached out and squeezed Ruan Tian's wrist, his voice sounding calm, yet carrying a hint of cruelty:
"If we can't escape, then just kill me."
"ha?!"
Ruan Tian was surprised by Bai Chulan's words and became a little agitated, raising her voice.
What do you mean?
Bai Chulan chuckled: "Didn't I tell you that Madam's psychic abilities are not as simple as they seem?"
Ruan Tian pricked up her ears, anxiously grabbed Bai Chulan's wrist with her other hand, and said nervously:
"Tell me quickly!"
Bai Chulan lowered her voice and said, "Once her ability level increases by one level, she will be able to completely take over a person's body."
Her superpower is like a spider web, completely devouring the spirit of its host and turning them into its puppet.
I discovered a long time ago that she's been experimenting on other people, and her ultimate goal is...
Bai Chulan lowered her eyes, gave a cold laugh, and said, word by word:
"She wants to parasitize me, completely devour my spirit, and take over my body."
This is why Bai Chulan insisted on running away. If he couldn't escape this time, he would have Ruan Tian kill him.
After hearing this, Ruan Tian felt nauseous and her stomach churned.
She admitted that she was truly disgusted by the lady.
Does the lady truly love her son, or does she simply possess an inescapable desire for control?
She even attempted to use this method to keep Bai Chulan by her side completely.
Furthermore, she has a morbid belief that as long as she possesses Bai Chulan's body, she can be with her son forever.
This twisted and abnormal love made Ruan Tian feel nauseous.
We must escape!
Ruan Tian's gaze gradually hardened without her realizing it.
She knew very well that she had to save Bai Chulan.
None of these seven targets can die!
Ruan Tian kept a close eye on the situation at the entrance. When she noticed that there were fewer and fewer zombies at the entrance, she knew that the time had come!
She led Bai Chulan to Exit A.
When the guards saw that it was Bai Chulan, they didn't think anything of it and assumed that Bai Chulan had something to say to the madam.
They let Bai Chulan go without hesitation.
The two of them arrived in front of the lady without any hindrance.
"Chu Lan, what brings you here?"
The lady frowned, and when she noticed that Ruan Tian was standing next to Bai Chulan, her brow furrowed so deeply it could have crushed a fly!
"It's one thing for you to come alone, but why did you bring this woman with you?"
Li Canhua glared at Ruan Tian: "What kind of sleeping potion did you give my brother Bai to make him listen to you so much?"
Ruan Tian feels nauseous whenever she sees the lady.
Under everyone's gaze, she raised her hand and gave the lady an international friendship gesture.
The lady was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses.
Li Canhua was furious: "Ruan Tian! Have you lost your mind?! How dare you be so disrespectful to Madam!"
Bi Wan stopped Li Canhua, her face grim, and slowly said:
"Ruan Tian, you don't really think that I can tolerate you just because of that strange ability, do you?"
"It's utterly ridiculous. As long as you're still in City C, I'm the ruler here."
Ruan Tian suddenly laughed and asked in return:
"Then I won't stay in City C, right?"
That's what they say, but what can Ruan Tian use to run away?
The lady retorted sarcastically, "You're welcome to try."
Then, the next second...
Suddenly, a pure white electric tricycle appeared in front of them!
It just appeared out of nowhere, without any warning whatsoever!
Ruan Tian had already planned it. She held the handlebars with one hand and sat down on the bike before anyone could react.
Like a princess on a white horse, she suddenly turned around and reached out her hand to Bai Chulan!
"Let's go, Bai Chulan! Let's escape together!"
