Within a few days, the Angel Church united with the small bases near the Bright Moon Base that had been subdued and together they surrounded the Bright Moon Base.
After Lu Qingchen secretly infiltrated the Mingyue base, he was located and captured by Gu Mingyue in less than half a minute.
Xinghe glared at him with hostility and used a spatial shield to trap him inside.
Lu Qingchen, who was originally invisible, was now captured. He raised his hands, which were holding the medicine, and looked at the beautiful woman who appeared at the city gate with surprise.
"You're the ones in charge here!"
Gu Mingyue didn't speak. She took long, slender, and powerful strides and slowly walked to him. She reached through the space shield of the starry river, took the medicine from Lu Qingchen's hand, and handed it to the virus expert in the base for testing.
After being told that the drug's efficacy was similar to that of the reagents developed at the base, Gu Mingyue smiled and looked at Lu Qingchen.
"Knowing that our base had been infected with the virus, they planned to sneak in the antidote and then sneak away?"
Gu Mingyue had a slightly teasing expression on her face. "Lu Qingchen, you're doing a good deed, there's no need to be so secretive!"
With a hint of anger on his face, Lu Qingchen pounded on the spatial shield that Xinghe had placed around him and said, "Is this the retribution I deserve for doing good deeds! To be captured, controlled, and forced to work for you?"
Gu Mingyue chuckled and had Xinghe remove the spatial shield, then waved her hand, saying, "Who told you to sneak in so quietly? I thought it was another poisoner from the Angel Church!"
Gu Mingyue kept Lu Qingchen behind and treated him well.
Lu Qingchen then realized that Gu Mingyue had already developed the virus serum, and all his efforts had been in vain.
A hint of frustration flashed across his beautiful face.
When Gu Mingyue brought him dishes that could only be seen before the apocalypse, he was even more astonished.
Moreover, the people from the Bright Moon Base did not show any surprise at his appearance when they faced him.
Before and after the apocalypse, too many people showed him sticky, lewd expressions, while people here paid him very little attention.
After looking up at Gu Mingyue and Xinghe, he gradually found the reason: these two people already had the best appearance among humans.
People here have seen them so many times that they've become immune to their appearance!
"Don't eat it, are you afraid it's poisonous?"
It was already 8 p.m., and Gu Mingyue hadn't eaten dinner yet. Looking at the table full of delicious food, she was getting hungry, but the androgynous handsome man across from her hadn't touched his chopsticks.
So he picked up a piece of green pepper and shredded pork with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, saying...
Lu Qingchen now believed that Gu Mingyue had inserted a strand of hair containing spiritual power into his head, and he snorted fearlessly.
"There is no one in this world who can poison me."
He then unceremoniously grabbed the only large pork knuckle on the table and began gnawing on it without any regard for decorum.
The braised pork knuckle was so tender and flavorful that he knew it was going to be a disaster the moment he took a bite.
Before the apocalypse, others only knew him as a ruthless assassin, but only he knew that he was a super gourmet.
If he hadn't been bought and trained as an assassin by a mysterious organization when he was young, he might have become an ordinary cook or a food blogger.
After the apocalypse, various natural disasters, insect plagues, and monsters that can devour all living things emerged one after another.
Although he looks quite glamorous on the outside, he hasn't had a proper meal in a long time.
Gu Mingyue only ate one plate of stir-fried green peppers and shredded pork. Before she could even touch the rest of the dishes, Lu Qingchen quickly devoured them all.
In less than ten minutes, the entire dining table was swarming with food, as if locusts had swept through. She looked helplessly at Lu Qingchen, his mouth covered in sauce, as he ate and drank without any regard for his image! She was immediately ashamed; how long had this man been starving!
After finishing his meal, Lu Qingchen took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, trying his best to salvage his perfect image.
"I've made up my mind. I can join your Bright Moon Base and work for you!"
Gu Mingyue: ? ? ?
Is this person really that easy to bribe?
She had prepared a long speech, intending to get this person to help her take down the Angel Church.
However, Gu Mingyue was also a straightforward person. She discovered that on the loyalty display in the space, Lu Qingchen's loyalty had successfully increased from a solid 1 point to 35 points after this meal.
His points are incomparable to those of other members of the Bright Moon Base, but Lu Qingchen has special abilities, so Gu Mingyue can go easy on him.
After the meal, the two did not waste each other's time by continuing to probe, but went straight to the point and asked about the ultimate goal of the Angel Church.
Lu Qingchen was also very open with his knowledge, revealing everything he knew. He had used his invisibility skill to secretly eavesdrop on the leader's speech and learned that the Angel Church was actually poisoning people while simultaneously using healing to win their hearts.
Furthermore, this church secretly transported individuals with special abilities to a place called Watanabe Laboratory.
Upon hearing about Watanabe Labs, Gu Mingyue's relaxed expression turned serious. "A lot, I understand. Thank you for joining this cult and finding out so much."
After saying that, he immediately showed great trust in Lu Qingchen and called a meeting of the ministers of each district of the Bright Moon Base, and also invited Lu Qingchen to join.
Lu Qingchen himself did not expect that he could gain Gu Mingyue's trust so easily.
But the thought that he might have a strand of Gu Mingyue's hair in his head made him feel better.
He was slightly distracted as he watched Gu Mingyue immediately deploy her battle plan after hearing his words.
Before the apocalypse, he hated those who controlled him with drugs the most, and even killed them all himself after he became an adult.
But now that he is being 'controlled' by Gu Mingyue, he doesn't feel any aversion, especially after entering the Mingyue base and seeing the happy smiles on everyone's faces wherever they go.
He had the illusion that being controlled by Gu Mingyue might not be such a bad option.
...
The members of the Angel Church, along with their subjugated smaller bases, quickly surrounded the outer gates of the Bright Moon Base, making it completely impassable.
A man dressed in a black cult leader's robe stood in front of the gate of the Bright Moon Base, giving a passionate speech. He was unaware that everyone in the Bright Moon Base had fully recovered, and he still wore a profound and righteous expression.
But when he saw Gu Mingyue and Xinghe standing above the city gate, a lewd look immediately appeared on his otherwise respectable face. No matter how long he pretended to be a dog, he would eventually be exposed.
The cult leader subconsciously glanced at Lu Qingchen standing beside him and suddenly felt that being chosen by Watanabe's laboratory was the luckiest thing that could have happened to him. Otherwise, how could a cult leader who had been to prison have such a glorious day?
Before the apocalypse, his missionary work wouldn't have been so easy, and he certainly wouldn't have been able to fool so many beautiful and powerful people!
He then shouted passionately, "Sinners of the Bright Moon Base, lay down your weapons, and the God will forgive you for all the killings you have committed. The God has given us an all-powerful antidote to save you from your suffering. Quickly open the city gates!"
