Assistant Liu spoke loudly to Li Yan while helping to eliminate the mutated rats.
"Team Leader Li, don't worry, we have people protecting us under Commander Han, so there's not much of a problem over there. I came to help you on Commander Han's orders; he asked me to bring a few men to assist you."
Ye Yunxi and the others were relieved to hear that Commander Han was alright, and focused on eliminating the mutated rats here.
Soon, with the addition of Assistant Liu and his team, Ye Yunxi and her group wiped out all the mutated rats on their side.
Then Li Yan said to Assistant Liu.
"Assistant Liu, the mutated rats here have been eliminated. Let's go check on Chief Han's side."
Assistant Liu nodded, and together with Li Yan, Ye Yunxi, and the other group of soldiers, they headed towards the Fifth Base building.
They fought off the mutated rats as they walked, and soon they arrived at the base building.
Seeing a group of soldiers swatting at a rat that was attacking them, they followed closely behind and rushed over to help.
While they were fighting the mutated rats, a mysterious figure was observing Fu Heng and his group from a distance.
The mysterious man's lips curled slightly. "Fu Heng, we meet again."
But you haven't seen me yet, what should I do? I suddenly really want you to see me soon.
To help you find me sooner, I'll give you more clues.
As the mysterious man spoke, he took out a poisonous mushroom from his spatial storage and continued.
"Fuheng, Fuheng, in order to make your life on this blue planet more meaningful, I will spread these poisonous mushrooms all over the world, so that you and your friends can embark on a new journey."
And your little partner, let me create some more surprises for you both, and let's enjoy our happy time on Earth.
In three years, this blue planet will become a vast ocean, and land will cease to exist. Then we'll see how you survive on this planet.
The mysterious man ordered all the mutated old rats carrying the grain to leave, and they were not to return to this place; instead, they went to the next location.
Fu Heng was unaware that Yan Luo had been watching them from nearby all along. He was also unaware that many more disasters awaited them.
They had been focused on fighting the mutated rats, and upon hearing the order, the mutated rats all left the base.
Ye Yunxi and the others saw the mutated rats leave one after another, no longer biting people indiscriminately.
They said they sensed something that frightened them and left. But it seemed more like they received a command, resulting in a swift and efficient evacuation.
Regardless of the outcome, the best result is for them to leave the base.
Seeing that all the mutated rats had left, Assistant Liu immediately ran into the building to look for Chief Han.
When Fu Heng and Ye Yunxi saw Assistant Liu run into the building, they followed him in.
Assistant Liu ran to Base Commander Han's office, opened the door and saw Base Commander Han talking to several soldiers.
When Han Jiji saw Assistant Liu, he pushed the door open and walked in. Instead of blaming him, he asked him a question.
"Assistant Liu, what brings you here? Didn't I ask you to help Captain Li and the others?"
Just then, Li Yan and his team arrived and overheard Commander Han asking Assistant Liu a question.
He took a breath and quickly stepped forward to speak.
"Chief Han, all the mutated rats at the base have been evacuated, and the base is now safe."
When Han Jiji heard that the mutated rats had evacuated, he looked at them with a smile and said.
"Assistant Liu, Captain Li, and Captain Li's friends, thank you so much. You not only drove away the mutated rats, but also made the potion for us."
Ye Yunxi looked at Commander Han and said.
"Since Commander Han wants to thank us, then give us the gold we agreed on before."
Commander Han was taken aback at first, not expecting Ye Yunxi to speak so directly, and then he spoke to them.
"Alright, since we promised you, we'll keep our word. Assistant Liu, take a few men to the warehouse and fetch some gold for them."
Assistant Liu nodded and then led a few people to the warehouse to retrieve the gold.
Commander Han smiled and invited them to come in and sit down. Ye Yunxi and the others walked in and sat on the sofa and chairs to rest.
After Ye Yunxi and the others were all seated, he smiled and said to them.
"Captain Li, Miss Ye, I know that in your team, Miss Ye is the backbone, and she makes the decisions."
"In that case, I have a favor to ask, and I hope Miss Ye will grant it."
Ye Yunxi raised an eyebrow at Base Commander Han. They hadn't known each other for long, yet she already knew that Han was the backbone of the team. No wonder she was the base commander.
"Chief Han, just say what you mean, don't say those empty words."
Commander Han paused for a moment before speaking.
"It's true that the mutated rats at the base have been evacuated, but we don't know when they might suddenly return. We would appreciate it if Miss Ye and everyone could stay for a while longer so that our Fifth Base will be free of mutated rats."
When they heard that Commander Han was going to let them stay longer, they all looked anxiously at Ye Yunxi.
Ye Yunxi felt the gazes of her companions, gave them a comforting look, and then looked at Commander Han.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Commander Han, but we have other matters to attend to and cannot stay at the Fifth Base for much longer. The other bases are still waiting for our rescue efforts, and we hope Commander Han will understand."
Regarding your mention of the mutated rats attacking again, we probably haven't used much of the medicine we've prepared in the last two days. If the mutated rats attack again, we can continue using the medicine.
Alternatively, if the Fifth Base wants to purchase the potion, they can communicate with Base Chief Wu of the First Base.
After hearing what Ye Yunxi had said, Commander Han felt it was inappropriate to insist that they stay any longer. He had no choice but to talk to her.
"Alright then, since Miss Ye has said so, I won't insist any longer. I'll contact Chief Wu if I need the medicine. May I ask, Miss Ye, when will you be departing?"
Gu Qingqing and the others were overjoyed to hear that Base Commander Han wouldn't keep them any longer. Whoever wanted to stay at this awful base could stay; they just needed to get out of there as soon as possible.
Ye Yunxi checked the time; it was a little past 2 PM. It wasn't too late, so they went back to pack up and left the base immediately.
Who knows if this horrific base will cause outsiders to die or disappear? They dare not take the risk; even sleeping outside at night is better than staying in the Fifth Base.
She glanced at her companions and saw their expectant eyes looking at her. She turned to Commander Han and said...
"We'll be leaving soon for another base."
Without a second thought, Commander Han immediately asked them to stay.
"Wouldn't it be too hasty to set off right away? It's already getting late. Why don't you all stay overnight at the base and set off tomorrow morning?"
"And we've just been through a big battle; everyone must be exhausted and needs a rest. Miss Ye, Captain Li, what do you think?"
