"Is this your and your brother's secret base?" Little Yuzu stretched and squinted as she surveyed her surroundings.
Outside the base was barren wasteland.
So far, not a single person has been seen inside the base.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's completely deserted.
Bixuan stared at Xiaoyouzi and couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Xiaoyouzi has discovered something? How could that be? It must just be pure curiosity.
“Yes, this base is huge, isn’t it? And the air is nice too.” Bixuan said, watching Xiaoyouzi’s reaction.
Little Yuzu shrugged. "It's alright, not as big as my house. The main thing is, how can you say the air is good when you're looking at a completely bare area? Every breath you take smells like a sandstorm, doesn't it?"
Hmph, what kind of base is this? It can't even compare to the massive underground bases in those zombie movies. This base is just a tiny bit on the surface, and only one floor underground.
"How do you know how big it is inside if you haven't even been inside?"
Bi Xuan asked curiously, thinking to himself: Who only looks at the surface of a base? Maybe there's more to it than meets the eye!
Little Yuzu rolled her eyes and pointed to a sign not far away: "Brother Bixuan, there's a map over there, you can't see it, can you?"
Bixuan: Damn it! I got laughed at by Xiaoyouzi!
"Of course I saw it, I was just asking." Bi Xuan composed himself and pretended to be serious.
"Pfft."
Little Yuzu laughed out loud: "Alright, alright, you saw it."
When Bixuan saw Xiaoyouzi's feigned loving gaze, she was completely taken aback: "Hey, what's with that forced look on your face!"
He was about to complain when Xiaoyouzi interrupted him: "Why did you bring me here? Is Third Brother here?"
"no."
"Hey, Little Yuzu, what are you doing?"
As soon as Bixuan finished speaking, he saw Xiaoyouzi climbing onto the motorcycle and hurriedly called out.
Hearing Bixuan's question, Xiaoyouzi turned around and said, "Why aren't you leaving? What are you doing here? Third Brother isn't here either."
I thought Bixuan had gone to all that trouble to slip me a letter in the house because it was something important. Instead of coming to the base, I should have just gone home and shown off a plate of oranges.
Bixuan naturally wouldn't let Xiaoyouzi leave: "Of course it's something very important, come with me."
"Okay."
Little Yuzi followed Bixuan to the entrance of the base.
"Please verify your iris." A mechanical voice came through, and Bixuan leaned closer.
Little Yuzu stood behind him watching him open the door.
"Beep, iris verification successful, please enter."
The door opened, revealing a white, sterile interior filled with the smell of disinfectant.
Little Yuzu glanced inside and saw that there was no one there.
She stood at the doorway, frowning. "Where is this? You didn't bring me to a shady workshop, did you?"
There are quite a few cases in TV dramas where the perpetrator is someone you know. Why does Bixuan seem to have such ill intentions?
With a suspicious glint in her eyes, Xiaoyouzi glanced at Bixuan every now and then, and secretly took a few steps back.
Bi Xuan said helplessly, "Little Youzi, I didn't hurt you. Come with me to the basement."
"I don't want to!" Little Yuzu refused without hesitation and walked out: "This place is no fun at all, and you don't tell me what's wrong."
"Hey, hey, hey." Bixuan grabbed Xiaoyouzi's hand: "Just go one floor, you'll know when you see the things."
Xiao Youzi withdrew her hand and glanced at Bi Xuan.
The latter felt a chill run down his spine from looking at him, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Xiaoyouzi say, "Let's go, stop pulling and tugging."
She wasn't actually close to Bixuan; she only agreed to come out because of her third brother.
Bixuan is driven to the brink of madness by Xiaoyouzi: Where is Xiaoyouzi, who was so sweet and cuddly calling "Brother Bixuan" in the car just now, and who was sleeping soundly? What's with this cold face now?
Little Pomelo: Acting? Anyone can do that!
Following Bixuan, they arrived at a room where there was a table with a cold, silvery light, on which sat only a large box.
"What does that mean?" Little Yuzu tilted her head and asked Bixuan, puzzled.
Bixuan held out his hand to her: "Little Youzi, did you bring the key?"
"What key? You didn't say you were bringing a key?" Little Yuzu blinked innocently.
Big eyes, big puzzled eyes.
Meeting Xiaoyouzi's clear eyes, Bixuan was speechless for a moment.
He wasn't angry, but he asked again, "Are you sure you didn't bring it?"
I clearly wrote it on paper. Did I smudge it, or does Xiaoyouzi not know that many words?
"I didn't bring it."
Little Yuzu opened her bag: "There's nothing inside. I thought you were taking me to find Third Brother."
Bi Xuan opened his mouth, about to speak, when he saw Xiao Youzi lower her head and say in a muffled voice, "Brother Bi Xuan, did I hold you back? But I really didn't know..."
"No, that's not true," Bixuan said instinctively, "I don't blame you."
He reached out and patted Xiaoyouzi's head. "It's all my fault for not telling you in person."
"Brother Bixuan, where is my brother?" Little Yuzi stared at Bixuan with her bright, watery eyes.
Bixuan shook her head: "I don't know where your brother is. He's still missing."
"Bixuan!"
As the two were talking, several people in white coats pushed open the door and entered.
They immediately spotted the little pomelo and were all stunned.
The leader was the first to recover, and his attitude became much better: "Why did you bring a child here?"
"Luo Ting's sister." Bi Xuan spoke in a much softer voice, and took a few steps forward, subtly shielding Xiao Youzi behind her.
Several people in white coats changed their expressions slightly, craning their necks to look at Xiaoyouzi, only to find that they could only see Bixuan's slender figure.
