Gu Mingyue kept kicking Zheng Yu, turning her head towards the man in the suit who was speaking.
The man wore gold-framed glasses that concealed the calculating look in his eyes. He was tall but thin, with a sickly pale complexion. A smile played on his lips, making him look like a smiling tiger.
"Oh? Did I say we were going to deal with that man-eating monster tree in the hospital?" Gu Mingyue said with a light laugh, but she was pondering his words in her heart.
Man-eating monster trees? In her previous life, after arriving at Hope Base, she had heard that the Nirvana Merchant Guild had conquered a large oasis by subduing two man-eating monster trees.
In the post-apocalyptic world, they monopolized the food supply of most bases by breeding crops, and became the largest merchant guild in the world.
Although she never understood how controlling two strange trees could rule an oasis until her death in her previous life, how could mutated insects allow ordinary plants that they hadn't even eaten to grow in the soil above their heads?
Moreover, there is competition between mutated plants and ordinary plants. In theory, ordinary plants should not be able to compete with the mutated plants after the apocalypse for nutrients.
“Miss, you’re joking. Did you risk being attacked by monsters outside just to come here to fight Young Master Zheng?” Zhou Yanli’s smile deepened as he raised his gloved hand to adjust his glasses.
Gu Mingyue's eyes remained fixed on him. Seeing that his exposed skin was clean and without a single mole, she felt a little disappointed.
I always felt that this man was the only one here who gave me a deep sense of kinship, didn't I?
At this point, other onlookers also gathered around.
"Everyone knows that this is the only green space in Black Tiger City with ordinary plants, and there are two strange trees on it. All five Doomsday Squads that entered here never returned. It's very mysterious," someone in the crowd said skeptically.
"Beautiful ladies, whatever grudges you have with Young Master Zheng, let's not fight for the sake of humanity's last remaining chance of survival."
An ordinary woman with a waist as thick as a bucket also stepped forward to break up the fight. She was surrounded by a dozen or so handsome young men, looking like a doomsday boss.
Gu Mingyue stopped kicking Zheng Yu when she saw the huge mole hanging from the corner of her mouth.
"Alright, for the sake of this big sister, I can let this idiot go."
Gu Mingyue patted Xinghe's back, and Xinghe removed the spatial barrier, standing behind her with his tall figure completely casting Gu Mingyue's back into his shadow.
He coldly scrutinized those around him, ready to stop anyone who dared to fire a shot, or even eliminate the troublemaker.
"President Zhou, Captain Wang, this woman beat our Young Master Zheng so badly, are you just going to let her go like this?"
"What do you take Zhengjiabao for? Our master dotes on Young Master Zheng the most. If he knew that you saw him being bullied so badly by others, he definitely wouldn't agree to cooperate with you."
Zheng Yu's bodyguard looked at them with a face full of grief and indignation.
However, no one paid any attention to him until one of the Zheng family members, who had a bit of insight, went over to remind him.
"Stop talking. Those two seem to have very high levels of superpowers, and even our master from the Nirvana Merchant Guild is wary of them. If we really anger them, we, a group of level two superpower users, won't be able to protect our young master."
The man glared at Gu Mingyue and the others as they left, and said resentfully, "So we're just going to swallow our pride and suffer in silence?"
"Of course not. Once we've safely escorted the young master back, with our tens of thousands of men in Zhengjiabao, killing these two will be a piece of cake."
The group thought it made sense, so they helped up Lin Meier, who had been kicked and was still pretending to be unconscious, and followed the others.
Zhou Yanli led the way, and the others followed behind him spontaneously. Gu Mingyue approached the older woman with a mole on the corner of her mouth and started chatting.
"Hey lady, what's your surname? What's your given name? Where do you live? Are you a local? What kind of superpower do you have? Is it as cool as you are?"
Wang Yanan was bewildered by the barrage of questions, but when she saw Gu Mingyue's beautiful, crystal-like eyes, she was unconsciously drawn in and blurted out everything.
Before the apocalypse, she was an unpopular, ugly, and sallow-faced woman who was cursed by her in-laws and abused by her husband every day because she couldn't have children. She was a marginalized person at the very bottom of society.
With no friends and relatives who were like strangers, she was pushed out of the house by her in-laws and husband after the apocalypse because they thought she was wasting food. She was then exposed to the black rain. Unexpectedly, she was struck by luck and became a highly talented ice-type ability user.
She also gathered many capable female superhumans to form the Female Eagle Squad, but apart from her subordinates and a few handsome men who joined her to protect Xiaohuahua, this was the first time she had been so close to such a beautiful and powerful superhuman.
She suddenly seemed a little awkward and looked at Zhou Yanli, who was in charge. Logically speaking, the Nirvana Chamber of Commerce was much more well-known than her female eagle squad. Why didn't these two superpowered individuals give them face and just chatted with her?
We can't possibly be attracted to her because she's fat, ugly, or because of her dirty and messy little camp, can we?
Gu Mingyue smiled and chatted with Wang Yanan, her hand secretly touching her exposed skin.
After physical contact, the small mole on her head, which was covered by concealer, did not change much, almost confirming that this woman was not one of her kind.
So she immediately stopped talking to her like a heartless jerk and started chatting with other people instead.
Wang Yanan, who had just thought Gu Mingyue was being a bit too enthusiastic, was suddenly overwhelmed with disappointment upon seeing this scene. Sure enough, someone like her didn't deserve feelings; family, friendship, and love were all fleeting.
She reached out with her chubby hand and covered the skin of a handsome man next to her.
