The energy-saving lights in the underground base were on all day long. Although some places were still dim, it did not affect the vision of ordinary survivors.
The survivors living here have been able to resume their normal routines. Although it is still very hot, the base provides electricity, making it at least ten degrees cooler than outside. In such weather, a ten-degree temperature difference can really save many lives.
Du Xueting followed the superhumans from the B City base back to the B City base. As soon as she entered the underground base, she sensed a difference. The survivors living here had smiles on their faces, which was completely different from the lifeless atmosphere of the Qiyuan base.
She couldn't help but compare the B City base with the Qiyuan base in her mind. As expected, the Qiyuan base was completely defeated. She wondered why she had left such a base to go to the Qiyuan base in the first place.
Following the trail, she was imprisoned in the superhuman prison on the upper level of the underground base.
Lying on her bed in the prison, she wasn't worried at all. She knew Yang Songming wouldn't let her stay at the B City base like this. Firstly, because she knew too many of his secrets, and secondly, without her, food production at the Qiyuan base couldn't keep up, and many people would go hungry.
She was confident that he would save her.
The door clicked open, and Chen Yu entered first. Du Xueting's face immediately darkened; she disliked Chen Yu's cold, ruthless, and arrogant demeanor the most.
Ye Lin followed Chen Yu in. Du Xueting's face turned even uglier. The two people she hated most in the B City base were together. Her eyes flashed with a dangerous light. She thought it would be better to kill them all at once!
Chen Yu sensed Du Xueting's killing intent. He pulled out a crystal energy gun from his waist and held it in his hand. If Chen Yu, at level 2, could already fight Du Xueting to a draw with his superpowers and skills, then he could easily kill her now!
The moment Du Xueting saw the Crystal Energy Gun, her body stiffened. She then turned her head away angrily. The researchers at Qiyuan Base were truly useless. They hadn't even managed to develop one yet. Otherwise, she wouldn't have almost been killed by that mutated tiger today!
Ye Lin stood there looking at her. "I know you won't tell me the secrets of Qiyuan Base. I only came here to ask you one question: why did you kill me and Chen Yu?"
A dark glint flashed in his eyes. If Du Xueting wanted to sabotage the relationship between the two bases and cause them to fight each other so that she could benefit from it, then he would kill her no matter how much pressure he faced!
Du Xueting sneered, "Is the deputy base commander so badly killed that he can't remember? He doesn't even know why others are seeking revenge."
"I haven't left the base since before the earthquake, so how could I have killed people?" Ye Lin frowned.
Du Xueting suddenly looked at him, her eyes filled with accusation, "Have you forgotten about Guan Zhiheng?! He went on a mission with you! And what happened? You killed him and stole his car! You talk a big game, but what kind of dirty tricks have you been up to behind the scenes!"
Ye Lin frowned, not expecting that Du Xueting wanted to kill them because of Guan Zhiheng. He carefully observed Du Xueting's expression to confirm the truth of her words.
Once he confirmed that what Du Xueting said was true, he felt relieved and sighed, saying, "Guan Zhiheng was not killed by us. He entered the J City granary before us and was killed by the mutated locust tree inside. We did requisition your vehicles, but by then, no one in the convoy had survived."
Du Xueting kept her eyes on Ye Lin, and only after Ye Lin finished speaking did she sneer, "All the people at Qiyuan Base are dead, and all the soldiers at B City Base listen to you, so naturally whatever you say goes."
Ye Lin looked at Du Xueting, who was unyielding, and in the end said nothing, leaving the superhuman prison with Chen Yu.
After Ye Lin left, Du Xueting leaned against the wall, trying hard to banish Ye Lin's words from her mind, but they kept echoing in her ears.
She knew what Guan Zhiheng was going there to do.
At that time, the informant at the B City base sent a message to Yang Songming, saying that Ye Lin had led a grain transport team to the J City granary. Yang Songming immediately contacted Guan Zhiheng and gave him the first task: to eliminate Ye Lin, and the second task: to transport the grain back.
That's why when Du Xueting heard that Guan Zhiheng was dead, she was certain that the B City base and that ice-type ability user were the only ones who would be interested.
Du Xueting chuckled, her eyes shifting several times before finally turning from icy to crazed. Ye Lin was a smooth talker; did she really have to believe him just because he said they weren't the murderers? Absurd!
When Yang Songming brought Du Xueting back two days later with the space ability user, Du Xueting looked visibly much more haggard.
Once in the car, he turned his icy gaze to Du Xueting, "Do you know how much the base paid to rescue you this time?!"
Thinking of the threats Zheng Qiming and Ye Lin had posed to him, his anger was still burning. He then gave Du Xueting a deep look. The B City base was now incredibly powerful, and he couldn't afford to provoke them. So, he could only keep Du Xueting under control until she was no longer of any use...
Du Xueting shrugged. "I was captured because I was on a mission, you should know that. You don't have to save me, I can live a good life at the B City base."
Yang Songming took a deep breath and looked away. "Very good. So what did you find out when you went out to investigate?"
Du Xueting then remembered the mutated tiger. Thinking of the near-death experience, she frowned slightly. "The tiger that had been attacking the base's ability users was probably a level 3 mutated tiger. Judging from its appearance, it seems to have identified our base."
"Level 3 mutated tiger..." Yang Songming was shocked. It turned out that there were already Level 3 mutated beasts among these mutated beasts. Even Du Xueting couldn't deal with them. This was really troublesome.
