Simply put, it means—not good-looking.
Su Feng really wasn't good-looking. He was thin, at most 1.7 meters tall, with dark skin, a long face, and small, squinty eyes. Despite being the city lord of R Base, his temperament and appearance were several levels below the dignified Bai Jingkong.
Although she hadn't met the other two male supporting characters in person, they were quite good-looking based on the original owner's memories and the original story.
The only redeeming quality he possessed was the shrewdness in his small eyes.
Su Feng was surprised that Bai Jingkong was so bold as to try to outsmart the people from the seven bases. He said in a deep voice, "I understand. You all hold back and wait for my message."
After settling everyone in, Su Feng returned to the villa where Guo Miaomiao was staying.
She returned to the place where she had been placed under house arrest. When Su Feng returned, he saw Guo Miaomiao coming out of the basement and hugged the pale-faced woman with heartache.
“Miaomiao, stop looking. I know you can’t bear to part with your aunt, but she has already been murdered. You have to learn to let go.”
Guo Miaomiao's eyes were filled with tears and hatred. "Brother Su, I'm so unwilling to accept this. I was so good to him, and he treated me like this. If you hadn't come, I really wouldn't know what to do..."
Guo Miaomiao's pale and thin face couldn't hide her beauty, and Su Feng felt even more sorry for her. Moreover, this was the first time he had been so close to her, so he forced himself to calm down. It had only just begun, and he couldn't frighten her.
Therefore, he did not notice the scheming in Guo Miaomiao's eyes.
Xia Yixin had entered the house with Su Feng earlier, and now, sitting at the bar watching the couple's clumsy acting, she frowned slightly.
Was Xia Ru killed by Bai Jingkong?
She scanned the area with her mental energy and, sure enough, there was a corpse lying in the basement. The green and red dots that had represented life had gone out.
She intuitively felt that the mission was a bit strange.
Guo Miaomiao is now under house arrest, so Bai Jingkong has no reason to kill Xia Ru.
Moreover, according to previous intelligence, Xia Ru was thrown into the third district.
However, Su Feng didn't care about these doubts at all. He was only focused on finally getting close to his "goddess" and getting her to say, "I'll rely on you from now on."
At this moment, Xia Yixin heard the system notification sound: "Ding, the male supporting character's happiness level has increased by 30%, now it's 20%. My god, as expected, it's really easy for a simp to increase happiness level."
"Since it's such a good opportunity, it would be a waste not to take advantage of it." Xia Yixin had no good feelings towards Su Feng at all. Since the two of them wanted to use each other, she would add fuel to the fire.
Xia Yixin sprinkled some aphrodisiac powder on the lit candle.
Su Feng, who was already madly in love with Guo Miaomiao, couldn't hold back any longer. Guo Miaomiao also wanted to solidify their relationship, and coupled with her desire for revenge for cheating on Bai Jingkong, the two quickly went up to the bedroom on the second floor, which was not the one where the body had been hidden before.
The male supporting character Su Feng's happiness level also soared to 50%, making Xia Yixin suspect that there was a problem with the system notification.
Upstairs, they're having sex.
Xia Yixin then unlocked the basement door and went inside to check on Xia Ru's condition.
Xia Ru died from a blunt force trauma to the back of her head. Her body was frozen solid, curled up with a ferocious expression, retaining the shocked look she had at the moment of death, as if she hadn't expected her killer to make a move.
The body was frozen within the last 48 hours.
Su Feng was blinded by lust, but Xia Yixin knew very well that Bai Jingkong had no reason to kill anyone, and even less reason to leave the body here.
Then the only possibility left is one person.
Xia Ru probably ran to District 1 in the snow to beg for some food, but was killed by Guo Miaomiao instead. The District 3 wristband on her wrist was very new, as if it had just been wiped clean and put back on.
Although Xia Yixin didn't like Xia Ru either, Xia Ru was indeed quite good to Guo Miaomiao. Although the mother and daughter had a mutually beneficial relationship, Guo Miaomiao would probably turn on Su Feng sooner or later after killing her own mother.
Given the current situation, Su Feng has just entered K Base and hasn't finalized his plans yet. She can't keep hiding in that area indefinitely. It would be great if there were real-time monitoring.
Wait, surveillance?
Xia Yixin had a sudden inspiration.
With a thought, two owls that looked no different from ordinary ones appeared out of thin air beside her, but they were shrouded in black demonic energy.
Curious, she touched the heads of the two owls. The owls, shrouded in demonic energy, had crimson eyes and sharp beaks and claws. But when she touched them, they rubbed against her hand like baby birds, making cute cooing noises. They didn't seem like ferocious creatures that could twist a person's head off with a single claw.
The most amazing thing is that Xia Yixin can see what it sees through its eyes, without needing language, she can control it with just her thoughts.
Isn't this the best "monitor"?
After she gave the command to the monster, the two owls cooed twice and flew out of the basement, one on the left and one on the right. They were like two mobile surveillance cameras, ready to report any abnormalities at any time.
After leaving the two little ones behind, she restored the basement to its original state and then quietly left K Base.
The sun has just risen.
As soon as Xia Yixin returned to Chenxi, Hongfeng breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing her and brought good news: "Team Leader Xia, the water supply has been restored."
Sure enough, with Lu Yan there, they reached their destination in only half the time it would have taken them a week and repaired the frozen and broken pipes. However, their journey wasn't without its challenges. Near the edge of Y Province, they encountered the seventh-tier zombie, and not just one, but three of them.
"Three seventh-tier zombies?!" Xia Yixin vaguely sensed something was wrong, but unfortunately, her mental power couldn't reach that far.
Lu Yan was contacting her using a mobile communicator. The people at the communications station conscientiously gave them the room, as the military communicator was the only usable long-distance communication device in this post-apocalyptic world.
Lu Yan's thoughtful voice came through the communicator, "That's right, there are three, one of which is at the peak of the seventh rank. Five people in the team were injured, but none of them are seriously injured."
"And what about you?" she asked worriedly.
The power of three seventh-tier zombies was considerable; even she struggled against them.
"I was injured in a few places, but it's alright. You know the Bai family bloodline has good recovery ability. These three zombies seem to have been driven here by someone. Unfortunately, I didn't find any clues when I chased after them. This plane is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface."
Even Lu Yan said so, so there must be something wrong.
Xia Yixin also took the opportunity to tell Lu Yan about Su Feng's appearance at the K base and the situation with the "healing water".
After a moment of contemplation, the person on the other end said in a deep voice, "The plot has changed, and you should be careful of unforeseen events. Pay close attention to the base. Guo Miaomiao will not let us off the hook. She will probably not only seek revenge on Bai Jingkong, but also set her sights on Chenxi."
Lu Yan's words resonated with her thoughts.
"I know, I also feel it's too peaceful, there's always a sense of unease." She sighed softly. "When are you coming back?"
