Before them lay fallen guards, and the savior they had been waiting for stood before them, smiling down at them.
Ye Shang waved his hand in front of her: "Snap out of it."
After saying that, he walked right past her and went inside.
The people inside were all somewhat incredulous when they saw Ye Shang.
Ye Shang crossed his arms: "How much longer are you going to stand there staring blankly?"
Dai Yue hurriedly ran to Ye Shang's side: "Captain Ye... Captain Ye, can we... can we go with you?"
Her voice was choked with sobs and pleading.
Ye Shang asked, "Aren't you going home?"
Dai Yue gently shook her head and chuckled softly, "We're not going back. We have no home here. We're all abandoned people."
Upon hearing this, all the girls in the room lowered their heads.
Ye Shang said, "Alright, then come back to the Fifth Base with me. You will form a separate group, with you as the captain. As for your deputy squad leader, you can promote him yourself later."
"It might be tough after we come back to the Fifth Base. We'll need to work hard to improve our cultivation and abilities. We don't have much time left."
After listening, Dai Yue nodded heavily: "Captain Ye, I will lead them to dedicate themselves to the base. We will never hold the base back."
This is a chance for everyone to be reborn, and they will never let this opportunity slip away.
Ye Shang nodded slightly, took out some sportswear from his space, one set for each of them, and told them to change into it.
She went outside and waited at the door for about five minutes. After each girl changed her clothes and came out, she had a high ponytail and wore a light-colored tracksuit, looking very refreshing.
Ye Shang turned around and glanced at them: "Let's go, let's go to the assembly point."

After leaving the living room, Qing Wentao and the others strolled leisurely down the corridor. He frowned and asked the butler, "Can you tell what he's planning to do now that he's back?"
The butler pondered: "A power grab?"
Qing Wentao also had this guess, but he didn't dare to say it. If Qing Li really was seizing power, then his advantage was not great.
He glanced at the dozen or so high-level ability users present, and instantly felt more confident.
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes: "When the opportunity arises, all of you can attack him together. He's just a high-level ability user. Even if he has many types of abilities, he can't use them all. You'll definitely be able to take him down. Once you capture him, the Fifth Base will be ours to take over."
Other high-level ability users still have some fear of Qing Li. They served under Qing Li when they were still lowly soldiers, and now that they have been promoted to high-level ability users, they have never fought him. They don't know what level Qing Li is at now.
The butler squinted at the superhumans and whispered, "The boss is right. If we all attack together, I don't believe we can't catch him."
He was also a high-level ability user, and because he had been by Qing Mingxiu's side for many years, he spoke with the air of a superior.
The other high-level ability users didn't think that much about it. They were easily swayed by these two and suddenly realized that it made sense. No matter how strong Qingli was, could he defeat so many people?
They have more than a dozen high-level experts. How could one high-level expert possibly fight against four opponents with his bare hands?
Thinking this way, their confidence began to swell again.
Only the steward's eyes held a hint of disdain. These fools were usually pampered by Qing Wentao with good food and drink, and hadn't left the base for missions in a long time. They stayed in this place all day, spending their time either on women or meat.
In this day and age, only a fool like Qing Wentao would be willing to support these so-called experts to live like this.
Although Qing Wentao has indeed given him many benefits, and is even willing to marry his precious daughter to him, it remains to be seen whether he will be fortunate enough to enjoy them.
Thinking this, he slowed his pace and began to walk slowly behind Qing Wentao. It was probably not realistic to slip away at this point.
When the group arrived at the lakeside pavilion where Qingli was, he was the only one sitting there, with a tea set on the table.
When Qingli saw these people coming over, she waved her hand and put away the tea set on the table.
He stood up and walked to Qing Wentao. His voice was slow but clear: "I said I would come back and take everything, including the management rights of the base."
Qing Wentao said sternly, "Is this how you talk to your father?"
His voice rose, as if to confirm their relationship: he was the father, and Qingli was his son; his status was above Qingli's.
However, it had no effect. Qingli just smiled calmly and said, "Sign this document, then take your people and leave the First Base. Go wherever you want, but you can't stay here."
This statement wasn't entirely absolute; when he said he could go anywhere, it meant he could take his family to other bases to make a living.
Of course, Qing Wentao was unwilling. If he left the First Base and went somewhere else, would his life be as good as it is now? Countless young women and endless meals every day.
This is the apocalypse, and having so much food is something you can't achieve food freedom in just one place.
He roared as he grabbed the document, tore it to shreds, and threw it into the lake: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Don't even think about me leaving here."
Qingli remained noncommittal, simply watching him quietly. It didn't matter if the documents on the table were thrown away; "Throw them away as you like, I still have more here."
As he spoke, he took out another one.
Bloodshot veins appeared in Qing Wentao's eyes. His temper was becoming increasingly violent. He suddenly laughed eerily: "Qing Li, don't think I don't know. You don't dare to kill me at all. If you confirm this reputation of patricide, will anyone in the base still support you as their leader?"
"Otherwise, why didn't you just kill me? Instead, you let us take people to live in other bases. To put it bluntly, you still care about your reputation."
Upon hearing this, Qing Wentao even felt that his guess was very accurate. No wonder Qing Li didn't bring many high-level ability users with him, but only the two of them came to the First Base.
It seems I can still live a good life.
Thinking this way, Qing Wentao even felt that perhaps he could offer to work at the Fifth Base, and then he could take over all of Qing Li's affairs. He had heard that Qing Li was now the leader of the Fifth Base and was in charge of the allocation of resources to each base.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's the emperor of the entire Flower Kingdom. If he were to go there, wouldn't he be the retired emperor? Thinking about it this way, living in the Fifth Base doesn't seem so bad.
A smile appeared on his face as he looked at Qingli: "Sure, I can go to the Fifth Base with you, but you have to give me the position of the Fifth Base Chief."
Qingli looked at him indifferently, her fingertips holding the document twitching slightly.
Little did anyone know, things would change at that very moment!
A huge pair of scissors slashed open Qing Wentao's chest, and with two sharp cracks, his heart was shattered. He stared in disbelief at the waves of pain emanating from his chest, then turned to look...
