"Are you hungry? I saw this place is pretty clean, we can cook a meal here." Sui Yi and Luo Jingli arrived at a vacant house in the city. The house was quite clean, so the two decided to stay here.
"You rest, I'll do it myself." The man rolled up his sleeves, found a knife, and took out a bowl to cut his hand, but Sui Yi reached out and stopped the knife.
"I'm not hungry, so I don't need to eat. Besides, drinking too much blood doesn't seem to do me any good."
"You haven't eaten in a long time, how about having a little drink?"
"No, I don't want to drink!" Sui Yi refused without even thinking. After saying that, Sui Yi left the kitchen and sat cross-legged on the sofa to meditate.
Luo Jingli felt somewhat helpless and worried. Knowing that she didn't like drinking blood and that human food was tasteless, he became even more determined to take her to Anmin Base as soon as possible to find the last ingredient for the potion, so that she could eat plenty of food!
Sui Yi felt a little irritable. Unable to meditate, she chatted with the system in her mind.
"Tong'er, I don't know why, but lately I just can't seem to calm down, I'm so restless and anxious." Sui Yi frowned, looking troubled.
"It should be nothing serious. Is the medicine almost ready? Are you in a hurry?" The system, unusually, didn't argue with Sui Yi about her worries.
"I don't know either. I have a feeling this mission might not go so smoothly." He felt a burning anxiety inside, not because he had to complete the mission, but because he felt that something bad was about to happen.
"Oh dear! Sui Sui, don't worry so much. Things will work themselves out. Thinking about it now is pointless. But it's always better to be cautious."
"Okay! That's all we can do for now!"
In just a short while, Luo Jingli had already prepared a packet of instant noodles and brought it out. Sui Yi was taken aback, thinking he would cook something nice, but then she thought that the man didn't seem to be the type to have a big appetite, so she stopped worrying about it.
"Xia'er, how about we go to Anmin Base tomorrow?" The man put down his fork and looked up at her.
"I think we shouldn't rush back. Let's find out what Zhang Yelin is up to first!" Sui Yi wanted to help Luo Jingli get revenge because if the mission was completed, she wanted to leave as soon as possible. This was something she could do for him.
"Sigh!" The man sighed and stopped talking, quietly eating his instant noodles.
On the other side, after Captain Qian and his team entered the base, they went to the mission office to hand over their tasks since they hadn't completed them.
"Hey! Captain Qian's back? How's it going?"
"Don't even mention it. How could the Zombie King be so easy to deal with? If we hadn't met a benefactor, we would probably either be dead or have become part of the zombie army!" Qian Yangsheng said with a look of unease and lingering fear as he recalled the incident.
"Oh? Did you meet a very powerful benefactor?"
"Yeah! I'm at level five now, with strength that even I can't see through. How can you say I'm not powerful?" Especially when she thinks of that cold-blooded man, she gets a chill down her spine.
"They're so capable, why didn't we recruit them to our base?"
"Tch, you're taking it too seriously! These days, anyone with ability would want to work for someone else. Creating a base isn't difficult at all!" The usually composed Qian Yangsheng rolled his eyes at the man, ignored him, handed over the mission, and returned to his own place. He had acquired some supplies this time and needed to process them.
"Big brother, you're back?"
"Um!"
How are everyone's injuries?
"I'm almost fully recovered. I have to say, that one vial of medicine really worked."
"Yes! We'll hand over some of the supplies we find, and keep the rest for ourselves."
"Yes!" Everyone agreed with Qian Yangsheng's decision and began to process the supplies.
In the base's high-level conference room, a man in white and a rather dignified middle-aged man sat together, listening to their subordinates' reports.
"You're saying Qian Yangsheng didn't catch the zombie king?" the man in the white coat asked.
"Yes, Dr. Zhang."
"Useless. It's just a zombie king. Even five level-five ability users couldn't do anything to it. It's just a bunch of good-for-nothings."
“Since he is called a king, he must have his own strength. What we couldn’t do back at the base, I think these people can’t do either.” Taking a drag of his cigarette, the man glanced casually at the man with his head down.
“Raise your head and speak.”
"Yes!" the man replied, then looked up. Judging from his appearance, this man was the one who had been asking Qian Yangsheng all sorts of questions.
"I heard that Qian Yangsheng and the others almost died, but someone saved them."
"Hmm! They're two experts!"
"Nonsense, how could anyone but a master save them? Go and find Qian Yangsheng for me, I have something to ask him," Zhang Yelin ordered directly.
"Yes!" He bowed and then left.
"Why did you call him over?"
"I have my own unique way of using it. I've always been very curious about masters."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man looked down at the man's pretentious smoking, his eyes flashing with resentment and jealousy.
The two waited not long before Qian Yangsheng knocked on the door and came in.
"Chief, Dr. Zhang, what can I do for you?" Qian Yangsheng bowed to the two men and asked.
"Captain Qian, you've worked hard this time! I heard some of the brothers were injured. I'll have Xiao Lin come to my lab later and bring them some treatment drugs." Zhang Yelin said to Qian Yangsheng with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Dr. Zhang. All of us brothers have almost recovered from our injuries."
"Oh! That's good. By the way, I heard you were rescued this time."
"Yeah! We almost perished in the zombies' jaws, but suddenly, the zombie king roared and disappeared! I guess he ran away because he encountered something even more powerful than himself. A few minutes later, two people, a man and a woman, came up to us and talked to us. They even gave us some potions, and that's how our injuries were healed."
"Do you know anything about them?"
"The man told us to call him Mr. Luo, but he didn't reveal anything about the woman." Qian Yangsheng was truly honest.
When Zhang Yelin heard the name Mr. Luo, his pupils contracted, and he continued to ask.
"What did that man look like? Did you encounter anything unusual along the way?" Zhang Yelin asked a few more questions, his tone somewhat anxious, in order to confirm his suspicions.
"Mr. Luo is very handsome. Although he's not very tall, he has a cold and aloof air about him and doesn't talk much. The woman is absolutely beautiful and very kind-hearted. As for the special thing, one of the survivors we rescued has awakened a superpower. Oh! Right, and also, we didn't encounter any zombies on our way back, which is very strange." Qian Yangsheng looked puzzled.
"Okay! I understand. You can go back now." Having gotten what he wanted to know, Zhang Yelin waved to Qian Yangsheng, signaling him to leave.
