After the B City base trade fair, many people from the base left quickly the next day, leaving the various hotels in the above-ground buildings empty.
Yin Chuan pulled back the curtains and glanced outside. It was only six in the morning, but the sun was already high in the sky, and the sunlight was scorching. In just a few seconds after Yin Chuan lifted the curtains, the room was already filled with a sweltering heat.
The once bustling streets were now deserted, with only a few people hurrying by.
Because there was still no news about Bi Xiaolei, whom they had been searching for, Yin Chuan and his group stayed here for two more days.
Yin Chuan drew the curtains. Xi Haiyang and the other two were also in the room, but they all looked worried. They had completed their first mission at the B City base, but they had made no progress in finding Bi Xiaolei.
Bi Xiaomeng, unlike her previous carefree self, lay on the table with glistening tears in her eyes. She knew that the longer they stayed at the B City base, the more difficult it would be to control the situation after they returned. But she couldn't abandon her brother. She couldn't bring herself to tell Yin Chuan and the others to ignore Bi Xiaolei.
“We’ve already searched the B City base all this time,” Xi Haiyang said, glancing at the relatively calm Shao Yuhan. “But we still can’t find Lei Zi. Maybe we’re looking in the wrong direction. He and Luo Jiaojiao aren’t even at the B City base.”
Yin Chuan nodded in agreement, “Luo Jiaojiao’s ability is special. She’s not someone who’s content with being ordinary. All the high-ranking officials at the B City base are perfectly normal now, and there are no scandals around her. She shouldn’t be at the B City base.”
Shao Yuhan glanced at the sad Bi Xiaomeng, concealing her emotions, "There are only two major bases in B City. If they're not at the B City base, they must be at the Qiyuan base. Luo Jiaojiao would never let him take her to live in the wild."
“Yes,” Xi Haiyang nodded, “so our next step is to go to Qiyuan Base to investigate. Qiyuan Base is different from B City Base, so I’m afraid it won’t be easy for us to get in.”
A glint flashed in Yin Chuan's eyes. "I heard that the base director of the B City base is going to the Qiyuan base for medical treatment tomorrow. Maybe we can think of a way to help him."
...
Has the person arrived?
At the entrance of the Qiyuan Base, many superhumans stood, all craning their necks and looking into the distance, as if they were waiting for someone.
Soon, several cars appeared in the distance, and the people's eyes lit up. They've arrived.
Su Buqing and Zheng Yanfei were sitting in a car, while Ye Lin lay in the back, his face pale, looking like he was about to collapse. Several level 3 ability users were surrounding him, and everyone looked very wary.
“Qiyuan Base is just ahead,” Su Buqing turned to look at Ye Lin, who was still lying in the back. “I’m afraid our mission this time will be difficult, so we must complete it carefully.”
"Um."
The vehicle soon arrived at the entrance of Qiyuan Base. Su Buqing sat in the driver's seat and rolled down the window. Soon, an ability user stepped forward and said to them with a smile, "You are from the B City Base, right? Our base leader has already given instructions. Please follow me."
As they spoke, the superhumans who had been waiting outside the base surrounded the vehicles. The superhumans inside were startled and asked, "What are you doing?"
The superhuman outside laughed, "Don't worry, we mean no harm, we just want to protect you."
Su Buqing looked at the superhuman in front of him and smiled slightly. "Then... I'll have to trouble you."
They followed these people in their car and quickly arrived at the entrance of the hospital at Qiyuan Base. Yang Songming and Zhu Zhengzhong were both waiting there. There was another man next to Yang Songming. Su Buqing looked at this man and narrowed his eyes slightly. This man was of the same element as him. It seemed that the light-elemental healing ability user was him.
"Oh, you've finally arrived. Quickly, carry Ye Lin down and let Xiao Liu take a look at him." Yang Songming stepped forward as soon as the convoy stopped, and called on the ability users from the B City base to carry Ye Lin into the hospital.
Before coming here, Ye Lin had already taken the medicine, which was a toxin developed by the B City base. So even if the healing ability user noticed that his wound was not deep, it didn't matter. They could blame everything on poisoning.
Yang Songming stood next to Ye Lin, watching the light-elemental ability user examine Ye Lin and then use his own ability to heal him. But even after the ability user had exhausted all his abilities, Ye Lin still hadn't woken up.
As the team leader for this operation, Su Buqing unconsciously stepped forward and asked anxiously, "How is it going?"
The superhuman glanced at Yang Songming first, and after Yang Songming nodded, he propped his pale face up and said to Su Buqing, "It's like this, Chief Ye's condition was critical just now. He was poisoned, and the poison is extremely potent. Fortunately, we arrived in time. If it had been a few hours later, even I wouldn't have been able to help him. I used up all my superpowers just now and only managed to alleviate his condition somewhat. To completely remove the poison, we need to proceed slowly."
Su Buqing breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could be cured, that was all that mattered. He had been on tenterhooks the whole way, worried that their slow pace would delay Ye Lin's treatment.
Hearing what the light-elemental ability user said, Yang Songming felt a great weight lifted from his heart. He had been wary of Ye Lin trying to trick him, but it seemed he had been overthinking it.
This poison is so dangerous, who would risk their life?
His gaze towards Su Buqing and the others became much more sincere. "You've had a long journey. We have a dedicated medical team here, so you don't all need to stay here. Go and rest."
But as soon as these words were spoken, none of the superhumans at the B City base moved. Su Buqing smiled and said to Yang Songming, "Captain Yang, you are overthinking it. Our mission all the way here is to protect you. Before we came, our captain told us that we must stay by your side at all times. Don't worry, we have prepared our own food and drink and will not cause any trouble for your base."
