Amidst the swirling mist, everyone, including Qin Shou, was somewhat dazed. By the time Qin Shou realized something was wrong, it was too late; he, like everyone else in the fake base, had fallen into an unconscious frenzy of excitement.
Alcohol, music, and revelry became the best cover.
Xia Yixin put a drug called "Seeking Pleasure" in all the cigarettes she sent out. Secondhand smoke is also poisonous. If you inhale the drug in the cigarette, you will regain consciousness and be poisoned at the same time after six hours. The more bad things you do, the more terrible the drug's effects become. Unless you commit suicide, the itching and pain that spreads all over your body will make you wish you were dead. The guards outside have no idea what the revelry in the bar will turn into when dawn breaks.
Under the influence of the drug, Qin Shou's men in the bar were all unconscious and could only answer whatever they were asked.
Under the influence of the drugs, Qin Shou openly put his arm around Yan Jiu (Xia Yixin)'s shoulder and talked about future plans.
"Kid, let me tell you, everyone in this exchange is a fool. They believe whatever I say. Some idiotic bases are practically throwing themselves at us, sending us stuff and people. Do you think we can refuse? Only a fool would refuse. Haha."
"Those bastards at the Dawn Base really think they're so great just because they rejected me? Bah! I'm still doing just fine in Y Province. And let me tell you, I heard that bitch Xia Yixin has even developed a virus vaccine. This is a golden opportunity for us. After we take these goods, we'll head to other provinces after winter. Selling 'vaccines' is a highly profitable business. Kid, if you come with us, you're guaranteed to live a life of luxury." Qin Shouyue said smugly.
Xia Yixin asked with a beaming smile, "Boss, aren't you afraid they'll find out you're faking it?"
Qin Shou waved his hand dismissively, then drunkenly took another swig of wine. "If I'm scared, then I'm a coward. Besides, only a fool wouldn't run away with the money. Anyway, if they're looking for someone, it'll be that bitch Xia Yixin. This is the apocalypse; where are you going to cross provincial borders to find someone? Heh, I'll make them clean up our mess, hahahaha..."
Qin Shou got more and more excited as he talked, and he seemed to see the scene of their Dawn Base, where they were living a life of luxury, being besieged in the future. Just thinking about it made him feel relieved, and he didn't notice that Yan Jiu (Xia Yixin)'s eyes were full of coldness.
This fake base's behavior is even more disgusting than those manufacturers who used the names of big brands to produce counterfeit and shoddy goods before the apocalypse, and Xia Yixin absolutely cannot allow them to continue.
When Xia Yixin left the bar, she threw all the special service girls who were unrelated to the fake base into the restroom. At this time, it had only been an hour since Lu Yan left. Xia Yixin kept an eye on him and knew that he had been hiding in the shadows, so she did not stop him.
Either he didn't realize there was poison in the cigarette, or he didn't completely trust Qin Shou and the others. She felt the latter was the most likely explanation.
There were still guards at the main entrance, so she crawled out through the ventilation duct and walked along the outer edge of the building, from the fire escape to the cargo area. When she arrived at the cargo area, she swiftly and decisively dealt with the guards who were pretending to be Dawn, who were hiding the abducted teenagers.
By this time, it was already late at night, and the loudest sound coming from the fifth floor of the building was still music.
Xia Yixin didn't rush to take everyone away. Instead, she first checked on them through the observation window. The people in the warehouse were huddled together in fear after hearing the noise outside. The smell of more than thirty people living together for so many days was not pleasant.
“Whose mother is Liu Lan? I am the person she invited to save you.”
From among the people huddled together in the darkness, a hesitant girl finally stepped forward. She was a thin, teenage girl who looked seven or eight parts like Liu Lan. She asked timidly, "You, you really came to save us?"
Xia Yixin nodded, then simply picked up the guard whose neck had been snapped, making sure she could see clearly.
"Time is running out. There are other bases around. I'll give you some food and water to help you regain your strength. I'll go get a car, and we'll leave here soon."
Xia Yixin threw a lot of bottled water and compressed biscuit cans into the two palm-sized observation holes. The young children inside, who had been starving for several days, immediately forgot their fear.
After putting down the food, Xia Yixin was about to go and grab a car nearby when she turned her head and met a pair of cold, golden eyes.
As expected, it was him; his eyes were filled with murderous intent and hostility. "Who exactly are you?"
Xia Yixin didn't answer. With a flick of her wrist, she gripped the Black Yama Spear and charged at him like an arrow. Now was not the time to explain; she was going to take him down.
Lu Yanjin's supernatural ability transformed into a blade to block the spear. To his surprise, the strange spear, shrouded in black mist, actually pierced through the blade. The weapon seemed to have a physical form, yet it exuded an eerie aura.
Lu Yan did not retreat; instead, his ferocity was aroused.
The crescent moon hung in the night sky, and the temperature outside was extremely low. Apart from the people who stayed behind to guard the goods at their own base, no one in the cargo area would bother with any noise they heard.
The area less than three meters wide between the two containers was covered with marks of knives and swords.
In less than a minute, the two had exchanged nearly a hundred moves.
Lu Yan was no longer careless. Although the other party's superpower was not as strong as his, "he" was definitely not a second-tier being. What was most strange was that the other party seemed to be very familiar with his routines. Moreover, the black spear was no ordinary weapon. Every time he was stabbed by the spear, even if it was just a small wound, it made him move more slowly.
In the instant he lost focus, Xia Yixin seized the opening, grabbed his arm, and the spear instantly transformed into a dagger. The Black Yama Spear pierced his heart, but did not penetrate. The nightmare of the Black Yama Spear itself quickly devoured Lu Yan.
The black aura swept in, and by the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late.
Lu Yan had strong mental strength, so even though he was knocked down by the Black Yama Spear, he didn't fall asleep or unconscious like the others. Instead, he was paralyzed, unable to move his limbs or speak.
Xia Yixin was also very surprised.
She originally intended to knock Lu Yan unconscious and take him away, but she didn't expect his willpower to have such a significant impact. However, thinking about it the other way around, with such a strong willpower, how could that mental power user easily erase his memories and control him? How powerful must that person be?
Xia Yixin dared not linger.
After putting away the Black Yama Gun, ignoring Lu Yan's murderous gaze, she tried to ease his hostility, "Don't glare at me, I didn't mean to either. I'll explain to you slowly after we leave here. Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you, I swear."
Unfortunately, it had little effect, so the man simply closed his eyes.
Xia Yixin sighed softly, knowing that now was not a good time to negotiate.
Although there was a commotion here, no one came to check yet, as most of the bases were thinking it was better to avoid trouble.
Just as she was about to look for something, suddenly, a modified bus and a large truck drove by in the distance.
The person in the driver's seat looked at the quiet cargo area of the fake Dawn base and asked in surprise, "Hey, is anyone there? Didn't we agree to trade? I brought all my stuff!"
Xia Yixin smiled slightly.
It really is "delivery to your door".
