Yu Bai rubbed the back of his head, looked at the boy who had run off without even wearing slippers, and shook his head slowly, "It's nothing."
Wen Xinxia was truly sorry and bowed many times.
Yu Bai said it was nothing, but he was still bowing.
Qin Zhi ignored him, and the base ignored him too. He was dressed in tattered clothes, but his face and hair were clean. However, after running all the way, his face was covered in sweat. When he raised his hand to wipe it, his face turned ashen.
They looked just like refugees.
Yu Bai has been at the base for a few days and has a general understanding of the situation. Currently, there is a food shortage, the base city is aging severely, and the torrential rain has flooded the rice fields, so the base is now in a precarious situation.
Everyone is too busy taking care of themselves.
They were indeed refugees.
"I'm fine," Yu Bai said again.
Wen Xinxia straightened up and was slightly stunned when she met the man's face.
Yu Bai: "The base is in such a mess right now, where are you going?"
Attracted by the other party's 'beauty', Wen Xinxia stared at Yu Bai's face and subconsciously replied, "The Green Crystal Corpse Man wants to kill me."
He didn't even know what he said.
All I could see were the reflections of Yu Bai.
Thank goodness he was wearing colored contact lenses, otherwise he would have been shot long ago.
Yu Bai didn't quite understand what he was saying: Green Crystal? Corpse? Or Green Crystal/Corpse Man? No matter how you put it, it was strange, but he said someone wanted to kill him.
Others might not dare to speak, but how could Yu Bai, with his overflowing sense of justice and innate divine body, possibly stand by and watch someone be killed?
Why did I kill you?
Wen Xinxia was stunned for a moment, then finally came to her senses and scratched her head, "He wouldn't let me get close to Green Crystal's corpse."
"The Green Crystal Corpse?"
"Oh, it's what my boss meant. It's the nickname I gave him. Isn't it affectionate?" Wen Xinxia grinned. Actually, he was also quite handsome, with fair skin, red lips, and white teeth. He looked very good when he smiled.
He tugged at his lips, but ultimately said nothing.
That's a really...unique nickname.
The image of the eldest man suddenly reminded Yu Bai of Qin Zhi and that zombie. He had been bitten by the zombie and shot, and thought he was going to die, but then he encountered a group of zombies.
That's right, the four who survived.
Given the limited resources at the time, the prince roughly removed the bullet from Yu Bai's body. With one foot already in the grave, they didn't care whether he could be saved or not.
Yu Bai was courageous and his life was not meant to end.
Not only did it survive.
It also awakened a healing ability.
The minor injury healed quickly.
Most importantly, he didn't mutate. Yu Bai himself was also surprised. Logically speaking, with the superpowers he currently possessed, he shouldn't awaken again. Sometimes he wondered if it was related to that zombie.
Qin Zhi was indeed fine the next day.
I wonder how they are doing now.
Wen Xinxia suddenly became very familiar with everyone: "My name is Wen Xinxia, what are your names?"
"Yu Bai."
Wen Xinxia laughed: "Where do you live? Are you natives of the base?"
"I just arrived a few days ago."
Wen Xinxia: "Then you have nowhere to live, right? All the houses have been allocated, and the later ones probably won't get any."
"I stayed in a hotel for a few days."
It's a bit expensive.
They were all caught up in three transparent crystal cores for one night, which would cost about 30,000 yuan a night, which is outrageous. And then there's the food; the base is currently experiencing a food shortage, and all the restaurants are closed.
Otherwise, it would be an astronomical price.
Wen Xinxia: "Oh, I heard hotels are expensive. Are you planning to stay for a long time?"
He might have planned to stay for a long time, but after hearing that a powerful figure had come here and seen the current state of the base, which seemed rather pessimistic, he began to doubt whether it was just a rumor. So he decided to rest here for a while and leave after some time.
"I won't stay long."
They don't have a car right now, so they need to get one from the base.
"Where will you go? Is there a safer base?"
I haven't heard of it. As the zombie virus worsened, the management of the other bases suffered to varying degrees. Ultimately, it's because the zombies are too contagious.
Some zombies can even spread through the air, but this mutation is not always present; one is susceptible to infection by chance.
But you need to get a little bit of their saliva on you.
Absolutely doomed.
Yu Bai wanted to create his own base, but he lacked people, especially those with special abilities. He couldn't help but think of Qin Zhi and sighed.
Wang Ting shook her head, "I don't know, nowhere is safe now."
Wen Xinxia's eyes darted around, looking unusually 'wise,' as she cautiously asked Wang Ting, "Um, aren't you very capable?"
Wang Ting shook her head vigorously this time, gesturing with her hands: "I've barely touched a gun, I'm really bad at it."
Wang Peng: "Our captain is amazing."
The three kings and one Li all relied on cunning.
Wen Xinxia turned her gaze back to Yu Bai's face, looking at him with sparkling eyes.
Wow~ I wonder if he can beat the man with the green crystal corpse.
His muscles looked strangely muscular. With Qin Zhi around, he couldn't even cling to the green crystal corpse. Rather than being seen as a thorn in the other's side, he might as well find himself a long-term meal ticket.
He invited, "The base has assigned me a large room. If you don't mind, you can stay with me. It will save you some accommodation fees."
Yu Bai frowned at the inexplicable invitation to a stranger to stay at his home, his wariness making him refuse, "No, we'll find a hotel ourselves."
When Wen Xinxia heard that they weren't going to stay with her, her face fell, her shoulders slumped, and she spoke timidly, "Why? Don't hotels cost money?"
He felt that Yu Bai was very reliable the moment he saw him.
Unfortunately, people didn't buy into his argument.
Li Hao stammered, "Do you have some ulterior motive? Why are you specifically targeting our captain? Trying to drag the rest of us into a mess?"
Even in a peaceful and prosperous era, it would be quite absurd for a complete stranger to invite you to stay at their home, let alone in the apocalypse. With the South City Base in such chaos right now, they definitely have ulterior motives!
Wen Xinxia's face turned red.
"Why would I rip your kidneys? My boss has a powerful backer, and I want to back him too. I know you can't just sit on someone's coattails for nothing. I let you stay at my place, and you say I rip your kidneys? That's incredibly insulting!"
Li Hao: "..."
Yu Bai frowned.
He wasn't afraid of the other party playing tricks.
The healing ability allows wounds to heal quickly, dissolves drugs, and has virtually no effect. Even if the other party has ulterior motives, they cannot be drugged. I want to see what the other party is planning, if there really is a hidden force behind them.
Yu Bai was also thinking of selecting a few teams to lay the foundation for his future base.
This was the first time Wen Xinxia had taken the initiative so proactively. He was embarrassed and suspected of being a bad person. This was even more painful than being killed by the man with the green crystal corpse. His face turned red and his eyes reddened. He turned around and was about to leave.
A deep male voice came from behind: "Okay."
Wen Xinxia paused and turned her head.
When she met the man's clear, cold phoenix eyes, a strange tingling sensation ran down her spine. Wen Xinxia shuddered and quickly looked away, secretly despising herself.
Yu Bai: "We have a woman here, is there a space for her to live alone?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, Wang Ting was deeply moved. Damn it, she had finally chosen the right captain this time!
Wen Xinxia said pitifully, "There's only one small balcony. A lot of people have come to the base recently, and there aren't enough rooms. This is the only room I could get..."
