Chapter 161 Return From the time she opened the space to now, there has been no information about the third layer of the space except for a line of words at the beginning that reminded her that the zombie crystal core can provide a base for opening the third layer. Now, for the first time ever, after she invested a purified zombie crystal core, new information appeared, and the progress increased by the purified zombie crystal core was twice the original one. Before, the third-level crystal core with attributes she invested could only increase the progress by 100. "Hubby, please pinch me so I can feel if this is real!" Shu Xin looked at Yan Mo with a dull look, wanting to prove that she was not hallucinating. "What's wrong? Can the purified zombie crystal core be used?" Shu Xin's unexpected reaction made Yan Mo unsure of what was going on. "Hiss——!" Knowing that Yan Mo was reluctant to pinch her, she chose to do it herself and hit her arm hard. The pain from the nerve endings conveyed to Shuxin the fact that she was not dreaming! "Ahhh! Hubby! The progress of the purified crystal core is twice as fast as before, which means we only need to spend less time to successfully unlock the safe base inside. Then we will have our own territory!" After confirming the fact, Shu Xin excitedly shared her joy. His previous expectation was confirmed, and a smile appeared on Yan Mo's face. He had already started thinking about collecting more third-level, fourth-level, and even fifth-level zombie crystal cores as soon as possible so that Shu Xin could use them to increase the progress of opening the base. After a third-level crystal core is purified, it can increase the progress by 200. The fourth- and fifth-level crystal cores with attributes can increase the progress even more. Shu Xin thought of the same thing. The thing that is most abundant in the apocalypse is zombies. The hail carrying the enhanced zombie virus has just passed, and the zombies will evolve further. The second- and third-stage zombies will become the backbone of the zombie army. There will be no shortage of second- and third-stage zombies. They are now able to fight against higher-level zombies, and the opening of a safe base on the third level of space is just around the corner. What I originally thought was a long way off, suddenly seemed to have an end in sight. I nestled comfortably and happily in Yan Mo's arms, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Yan Mo, who was hugging Shuxin, became irritated by Shuxin's restless movements. He got hard. Not a fist. "Are you so happy that you can't sleep?" "Yeah!" Shu Xin was too happy and didn't notice the change in the tone of the man who was hugging her, and nodded heavily. "It is said that exercise can help people fall asleep quickly. Since Xinbao can't sleep, why don't we do some 'exercise before bed' first." "!!!" "No, no, no, I suddenly feel so sleepy. Good night! I'm going to sleep." After hearing the words 'exercise before bed', Shuxin realized what the man meant. She shook her head like a rattle and immediately lay down without moving, closing her eyes. "Oh, it's too late." The fire has already been lit, there is no reason to let the person who started the fire go easily. "Well... I really... feel... well, well, well, well..." The words Shu Xin hadn't finished speaking were all blocked in the man's throat. When she was released again, she made another sweet sound... After some "before bedtime exercises", Shu Xin was so tired that she fell asleep and entered a deep sleep. After eating, Yan Mo contentedly held her in his arms, washed up, and fell asleep. It was a dreamless night... The next day, the group set off back to the safe base in City C. On the way back, they clearly felt that the zombies roaming on the road had become stronger. First-level zombies were almost nowhere to be seen, and second-level zombies had become the most common. The evolved second-level zombies smelled the human scent and pounced on them with their fangs and claws bared. They had just upgraded and needed actual combat to help them adapt to their new powers more quickly. It just so happened that they needed a large number of crystal cores, and it was just right for them to practice with these second-level zombies that kept pouncing on them. Except for Bu Yuanzhou, whose body was being cleansed of impurities by Shu Xin's supernatural powers, everyone else was collecting crystal cores. Every day, they could harvest a large sack of crystal cores, including some third-level crystal cores, plus an extra fourth-level water crystal core. After clearing out the viruses and impurities accumulated in everyone's body, Shu Xin began to use her supernatural powers diligently to purify the crystal core every day. Not only is it needed to unlock the doomsday safe base on the third level of space, but the crystal cores they use to absorb and enhance their superpowers also need to be purified. The energy consumed in purifying crystal cores is much less than that consumed in removing viruses and impurities from the human body. After all, Shu Xin is now a fourth-order supernatural being. If it is more, she can purify nearly two hundred second-order zombie crystal cores every day, and if it is less, she can purify about one hundred and thirty. Purifying the viruses and impurities in the crystal core does not require her to concentrate. Every day Shuxin watches TV series while releasing her supernatural powers to purify the crystal core, without delaying either task. Shu Xin and his friends were leisurely along the way and were not in a hurry at all. Every day was extremely fulfilling. On the other hand, the few people who were sent by Yan Que to wait for Yan Mo and his group at the security base in City C were almost desperate. They secretly discussed and speculated whether Yan Mo's team knew they were coming and packed up and ran away in advance. When they were about to give up, they finally heard the news that the Dawn Squad had returned. "Hurry! Let's go! Go visit them right now! We can't let them go out again!" The person in charge who was sent out didn't even have time to rinse the toothpaste foam out of his mouth. He walked while calling for others to come along, for fear of missing the person and not knowing how long they would have to wait.

Chapter 162 The hair on the head is in danger "Captain Yan! Captain Yan! Open the door! We are sent by your father! We have something important to tell you!" "Captain Yan, open the door!" If someone passed by at this time, they would see several disheveled men standing at the door of the Dawn Team's villa, knocking on the door in an untidy manner, and their voices sounded a little broken. Several people who hurriedly arrived at the door of the Dawn Squad were turned away. No matter how loudly they shouted outside, the people inside did not respond at all. Shen Yongchang stared at the closed door in front of him and felt that the few hairs on his head were in danger. Hey! He now finally understood why, after the patriarch had mentioned this task, those people who usually tried to be extremely active in front of the patriarch became unusually quiet like quails, not saying a word. They all pretended to be silent because they knew Yan Mo was a tough nut to crack! Now that I think about it, when they heard that he had volunteered to take on this task, the complicated look in their eyes was not admiration, but sympathy. hateful! He was the only one who was kept in the dark and didn't hear anything at all! Shen Yongchang's mood was extremely complicated, and he felt like a big complainer... "Captain, Yan Mo doesn't want to see us at all, what should we do now?" One of the men following Shen Yongchang swallowed hard and asked in a dry throat. "As the old saying goes, 'A virtuous woman is afraid of a clinging man.' We come here to wait every day they are in the base. We don't believe they can stay in the villa all the time! As long as they go out, our chance will come." "Yeah, captain, you make sense!" the man nodded in agreement. After finalizing the shift plan, Shen Yongchang left behind some people to wait and took the others back to rest. In the meeting room on the first floor of the villa , Yan Mo retracted his outward mental power and slowly opened his eyes. "How is it? How is it? What did you hear?" Shu·Curiosity·Xin's eyes flashed with a gleam of desire to cause trouble, and he stared at Yan Mo eagerly. "They plan to wait for us at the door." "Ah? How come they don't do anything at all? I feel embarrassed to deal with them." After stating the other party's plan concisely, Yan Mo saw the excitement in his wife's eyes flashing and then "biu~" went out. "Heh, I don't know how Yan Que chose this person. He sounds like a fool with a single-minded mind without any weird ideas. I don't know if it's real or just pretending. Although the method sounds a little silly, it is undoubtedly very useful!" "Anyway, we need to go out to exchange supplies, and the villa has only one door, the front door. If we keep an eye on the front door, there is a 100% chance that they will see us." Bu Xiangwen, who knew Yan Que, said with a slightly sarcastic tone and pointed out the key point directly. "Well, we're going to the H City base anyway, and them squatting at the door just gives us an 'excuse' or 'reason' to go. We follow them to the H City base and go with the flow. It can reduce a lot of suspicion and attention from the upper echelons of H City, and it will also be much more convenient for us to do things in H City later. So all in all, following them to H City is the best choice. I'm sure Brother Mo thinks so too." Pushing his glasses on his nose, Bu Yuanzhou looked at Yan Mo opposite him with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes. "You guessed right, that's indeed my plan." Yan Mo didn't intend to hide his thoughts at all and admitted it openly.

Chapter 163: Shen Yongchang and his companions who had been waiting at the gate of the Dawn Squad's villa for three days finally saw the gate of the villa open. ! ! ! The door is open! Shen Yongchang, who was squatting behind the bushes, suddenly lit up his eyes, as if two several-kilowatt light bulbs had lit up. Shuxin felt as if her eyes had been flashed by something and looked around. Huh? Strange, there is nothing that lights up? Is it possible that she is dazzled? "Captain Yan! Wait a minute!" Shen Yongchang flashed and rushed in front of Yan Mo and Shu Xin. Even though Shu Xin was prepared for someone to stop them before going out, she was frightened by Shen Yongchang's sudden appearance and subconsciously took a step back. "Are you okay?" Yan Mo immediately put his arm around Shu Xin's shoulders and blocked her behind him. "It's okay, I was just scared." Shu Xin shook her head. "Who are you?" After confirming that Shu Xin was fine, Yan Mo turned his head and looked at Shen Yongchang in front of him, his tone not very friendly. "Captain Yan, I'm the person in charge sent by your father to pick you up and take you to the H City base. My name is Shen Yongchang." "No need." Yan Mo: cold rejectionjpg. "Wait wait! Captain Yan, listen to me, the head of the Yan family really wants you to go back. You can think about it first and don't have to reject me so easily." Seeing Yan Mo and Shu Xin passing by him and about to leave, Shen Yongchang immediately became anxious and chased after them to block the two of them. "Besides, with the foundation of the Yan family head in H City, your status in H City will definitely be higher than your current base in C City, and your life will definitely be more than twice better than now..." Shu Xin and Yan Mo listened to Shen Yongchang talking endlessly about how good it was for them to go to H City. He looked like a HR who was painting all kinds of rosy pictures for the interviewees. They boast a lot, but in reality, what they get is not even close to the raw materials of the pie. "Stop, big brother, are you involved in pyramid schemes? You are really good at making promises. If we didn't know Yan Que's true face, we would have almost been fooled by you." Shu Xin highly praised Shen Yongchang's professional ability. "..." Shen Yongchang almost choked on his own saliva. So after all his efforts to persuade people for a long time, people just thought he was just empty talk? Without brainwashing people for a long time, has his professional ability declined? Wait wait, he was taken away! He has never done pyramid selling, okay? Before the end of the world, he was a very good salesperson and won the title of sales champion every year. The sales champion's mouth is a lie. He can make the dead appear alive, the ugly appear beautiful, and the male appear... Forget it, forget it. This last one can't be done. Shen Yongchang, who was rejected, was not discouraged at all when he looked at Yan Mo and Shu Xin's receding backs. As salesmen, the thing they fear least is being rejected. We can't agree to it easily, as they had discussed it in advance. Otherwise it would be too easy to arouse Yan Que's suspicion. Only by delaying and making things difficult enough can you easily gain his trust. In the following month, whenever the members of the Dawn Squad went out, they would be sure to meet Shen Yongchang at the door and listen to his long speech. Finally one day, when he blocked Yan Mo on his way out again, he relented. "Okay, stop repeating what you said. I'll go to H City with you next week." "What I said is true. The benefits of going to H City to you...what...what? You agreed!!! Okay, okay, then it's a deal. We'll go to H City next week. I'll go back and pack my things right now." Shen Yongchang, who was still talking incessantly, reacted and was surprised as if he was hit by a pie in the sky. He jumped a few times in excitement, afraid that Yan Mo would go back on his word, and turned around and ran back to pack his things.

Chapter 164 Preparing to depart The top brass of City C base said, "According to the news sent back by the people below, the captain of the Dawn Team has agreed to go to City H. Should we try to stop them?" " Can we stop them by taking action? Not to mention that no one knows the strength of each member of the Dawn Team, those four mutant animals are enough to give us a hard time. We might as well not stop them and get into trouble." " But if the base loses such a powerful superpower team, it will be a huge loss to the strength of our base!" " So what? If we go up and try to stop them without knowing our own limitations, will we be throwing an egg against a rock? Will we bring shame upon ourselves? If other superpowers know that our base forcibly keeps the superpower team, and then they feel repulsive and disgusted with the base, that will be the biggest loss to the base." As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room fell silent. Those who could sit in the conference room were all veterans in officialdom. Weighing the pros and cons was what they were best at. They would choose whichever approach could maximize their own interests. After this departure, Shuxin and the others will never return to the C City base. They estimated that it would take at least half a year to go to H City. With Shu Xin's newly awakened abilities, the progress of opening the safe base on the third level of space seemed to be on a fast track, and the progress bar was now nearly halfway completed. According to the current speed, it will take about another year to successfully open the third-level base. By then, they will have their own territory and naturally will not need to return to the C City base. "We won't be coming back this time, so everyone pack up your things. Hui Xinbao will collect all of them into the space, and only leave some common daily necessities outside." During the leisure time after dinner, Yan Mo dropped a depth bomb. "What? What? What? We are not coming back?! Are we going to the H City base this time to directly seize Yan Que's territory? Is it so exciting?!" After digesting the meaning of Yan Mo's words, Bu Xiangwen performed a jump up from the sofa on the spot. "..." "You don't have to be so excited. We are not going to seize Yan Que's territory. We will have our own safe base." After glancing at the excited Bu Xiangwen, Yan Mo continued to throw down an information bomb that was no less powerful than the previous one. Bu Xiangwen:! ! ! Makimai:! ! ! Bu Yuanzhou:! ! ! As one of the only two insiders present, Shu Xin said that it felt really good to know the inside story in advance! ! ! Especially when seeing people who usually have smarter brains than me being confused, I inexplicably feel a sense of pride, hehe~ "Brother Mo, do you mean... we should go directly to rob the safe base in H City?" Bu Xiangwen asked carefully. "..." Yan Mo: Unable to hold his forehead. "It's not about grabbing other people's territory. It's about having a brand new safe base that belongs to us! Is that clear enough?" Shu Xin explained anxiously. "But with just five of us, it will take a long time to build a new base, right?" Such a pragmatic question style can be known without even looking at the question that it was asked by Mu Qimai. "Hehe~ You'll know when the time comes. You will definitely be asked to contribute. Now you just need to know that we will have our own safe base in the future. You should be mentally prepared." Shu Xin smiled mysteriously and didn't reveal too much. After hearing Shu Xin's words, Bu Xiangwen's mind began to imagine that in order to build their own base, they worked hard to move bricks and build walls during the day, and stayed up late at night to light the lights and kill zombies to save up wealth. When I thought about this, I suddenly felt that the burden on my shoulders had become much heavier. Mu Qimai and Bu Yuanzhou's expressions were almost the same as Bu Xiangwen's. They all had a serious look as if they had suddenly been shouldered with a heavy responsibility and a long way to go. "Hahahahahahahaha——" Each three of them looked more fearless than the other, as if they had already foreseen that they would have to work extremely hard to build the base in the future. If they knew that the base was ready-made, they would probably be so moved that they would cry! Shuxin laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, but she couldn't stop. The more she imagined the three of them crying, the funnier it became, and it really hit her funny spot. The three of them didn't understand what Shu Xin was laughing at. They looked at each other in confusion.

Chapter 165 Comfortable Village When they completed the handover procedures for the villa and left, there were only four beds and a few tables and chairs that were as simple as they could be left in the house they had lived in. It did not look wealthy at all. Even the iron nets that were previously installed to prevent people from climbing over the wall were removed. The staff member who checked the house couldn't help but twitch his mouth, you moved it so cleanly! The only thing left is to return it to them in the same state. "There is no problem with the inspection, just give me the key." When Shuxin registered his superpowers, he registered the space-related superpowers. Now when they leave, they don't put much luggage in the car and it won't arouse suspicion. They will just think that they put it in Shuxin's space. After returning the keys to the staff who came to inspect the house, Shuxin and his team set off for H City. The five of them drove two cars and traveled with Shen Yongchang and others all the way. Some things in the space were not convenient to take out and use, so putting them in the car in advance could avoid a lot of trouble. "Captain Yan, it's getting dark. I remember there was an abandoned village not far ahead when we came here. Shall we stay there tonight?" The intercom clicked twice and a voice mixed with the sound of electricity came out. "Okay, Captain Shen, just lead the way." Yan Mo quickly answered after pressing the intercom at hand. After driving for less than an hour, Shuxin saw the abandoned village that Shen Yongchang mentioned from afar. The outline of the village vaguely looked like a crawling giant python. At that moment, something flashed quickly through Shuxin's mind, but she couldn't grasp anything. "Xinbao, what are you looking at?" Seeing Shuxin staring at the village ahead in a daze, Yan Mo pinched the soft flesh on her face. "Looking at the village in front from a distance, its outline looks a bit like a snake. It gives a creepy feeling." Shu Xin hugged Yan Mo's arm and shook her body. "You~ I don't know where all those wild ideas come from in your little head. If you are scared, remember to follow me closely. I am here." Rubbing Shuxin's hair, Yan Mo did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Yes, yes. I will definitely stay with you all the time." Shuxin nodded her little head quickly and held Yan Mo's hand tighter. After getting off the car, Shu Xin did as she had said in the car just now, following Yan Mo closely, not leaving his side for a moment. Yan Mo really enjoys the feeling of his wife sticking to him and relying on him. Others: ... swearing, you are enjoying it, but have you ever considered the feelings of us single dogs, tui~ Shuxin followed behind Yan Mo, observing the surroundings carefully. She didn't know why, but since she entered the village, she always had a bad premonition lingering in her heart. What was it that she had overlooked that forced her to pay attention to the thought that flashed through her mind in the car? The woman's sixth sense kept reminding her that the things that flashed by in the car were very important and she must remember them. Shuxin seemed unusually quiet the whole night. She kept thinking about it in her mind... She had thought of something when she saw the outline of the village... What was it? ! The outline of the village... the outline... the outline... ! ! ! She remembered! "Husband! Husband! Husband! I remembered that we can't spend the night here tonight. Let's go!" Shu Xin grabbed Yan Mo's arm in front of her and urged him in a very anxious tone. "Xinbao..." "Sister-in-law, what happened?" Shu Xin's voice was not small. Bu Xiangwen and others beside her heard it and looked at her in confusion. "There's no time to explain so much now. Don't take the things you took down. Get in the car now! Leave here!" Everyone had never heard Shu Xin speak in this tone, which meant that the seriousness of the matter was beyond their ability to deal with. Yan Mo and the others looked at each other tacitly, and quickly did as Shu Xin said, threw down the things in their hands and ran to the car. Shen Yongchang and the people in his team have not yet figured out what has happened, but relying on his experience and intuition from several years of being in the apocalypse, Shen Yongchang ordered his men to follow Shu Xin and the others and leave without a moment's delay.

Chapter 166: Surviving a Disaster The situation was urgent, and Shu Xin did not bother to conceal the actual size of her space. She just put another car into the space, and now all five people were in one car. "Hurry up! Faster!" "Xinbao, it's okay. Qimai, use your wind ability to speed up." Seeing Shuxin was restless and kept urging them to speed up, Yan Mo calmed Shuxin down and asked Mu Qimai to use his wind ability to help. Mu Qimai nodded and activated his special powers to attach to the wheels of the two cars. Bu Xiangwen, who was driving, clearly felt the car body become lighter, and the bumps on the road seemed to become flat, and the speed increased to a higher level. Shen Yongchang, who was following their car not far behind, watched the distance between himself and the vehicle in front quickly widen, leaving them far behind. "Hurry! Press the accelerator to the bottom and try your best to catch up with the car in front!" The road surface was not smooth to begin with, and their car was just an ordinary car with poor off-road performance. It was incomparable to Shuxin and the others' specially modified car. What's more, Shuxin and the others also had a wind-related plug-in, so it was impossible for them to catch up. At this moment, Yan Mo and the others were not in the mood to pay attention. Maybe they had forgotten about Shen Yongchang and the others? Shu Xin's abnormal behavior is what they are most concerned about now. As for what would they do if Shen Yongchang and others died? Do they feel guilty? Please! Clear your mind! Don't be naive, okay! Don't you see what kind of society we are in? It's the end of the world! In the end times, who would care about the life and death of people they don't know? Besides, Shen Yongchang and his colleagues' position is essentially opposite to theirs. Now it seems that there is no contradiction on the surface, but once they have a conflict with Yan Que in H City, Shen Yongchang and others will definitely stand on Yan Que's side. Even if we take a step back, they have not yet had any conflicts and there are no opposing positions. However, in the end times, when relatives who are closely related by blood will encounter disasters, they will stand by and watch coldly, distance themselves from each other, and there are even many people who stab them in the back. They just didn't help them escape. Whether they could survive depended entirely on their own abilities. Don't even think about moral blackmail! With Yan Mo's comfort, Shu Xin's mood gradually stabilized, and the anxiety and panic in her heart gradually disappeared as she got farther and farther away from the village. Shu Xin calmed down, sorted out her thoughts and was about to explain when she felt the ground shaking, accompanied by a loud noise, as if something was breaking out from the ground. The violent shaking of the ground made it impossible for the car to continue driving. Even the people in the car with their seat belts on could not control the shaking from side to side and hit the inner wall of the car. At the first second when the shaking occurred, Yan Mo held Shu Xin in his arms to prevent her from getting hurt. The earthquake lasted for about twenty minutes. They took the opportunity to get out of the car while the earthquake was a little smaller, found a relatively flat and open place, made sure that there would be no other rubble or wood rolling down, and then looked in the direction of the abnormality. "Oh my God..." "What is that?" At the same time, everyone who felt the earthquake saw a scene that terrified and shocked them. The scope of the earthquake was not large, but the three-headed giant python with red light that appeared out of nowhere in the dark night gave people an extremely strong visual impact. The three giant pythons seemed to be as tall as more than ten stories high, which is why they looked so huge even from such a long distance. The figure of the three-headed giant python quickly disappeared from everyone's sight as the earthquake subsided. If it weren't for the cracks that appeared on the ground, people would really think that the scene they saw before was an illusion. "Just now...if I saw it correctly, that snake has three heads!" Bu Xiangwen swallowed hard, his tone difficult and full of disbelief. "Looking at the location where the giant python appeared, it should be the village where we stayed before." As soon as Mu Qimai said this, everyone came out of the shock just now, and thought carefully about the location where the three giant pythons appeared just now, and they immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Judging from the noise made by the three giant pythons that appeared just now, if they hadn't left, I guess we wouldn't even be able to find their bodies now. "Xinbao, you asked us to leave quickly because of that three-headed giant python, right?" "Yeah." Shu Xin looked at the sky behind her, which was still tinged with red light, with lingering fear. After being in this world for so long, the plot of the original book has long been forgotten. The only reason why I still have some impression of this incident is that these three giant pythons almost killed the male and female protagonists. Everyone was smart and could see that Shu Xin didn't want to say how she knew about the three-headed python, so they were smart enough not to ask any more questions. They are teammates who can trust each other, but not everything needs to be dug into. Everyone has secrets that they don't want to tell, and respecting each other is the most important thing. Their car had been modified and had the added speed of wind power, so they barely managed to escape the danger zone. However, Shen Yongchang's team, which fell behind them, was not so lucky. The violent earthquake caused huge and deep cracks to appear on the ground. Their car was stuck in a crack as it swayed due to the earthquake. If the crack had been 50 centimeters wider, their entire car would have fallen through. Stuck diagonally in the gap, no one in the car dared to act rashly. If there was even the slightest mistake, everyone in the car would be buried with them. As the captain, Shen Yongchang was still very reliable at the critical moment. He forced himself to calm down and commanded the people in the team to leave the car one by one without any danger. The next second after the last person came out, the car stuck in the gap fell vertically into an unbottomed abyss. "......" "Wuwaaaaaaaa——" Some members of the team who had poor mental endurance collapsed on the ground, crying loudly without any image, venting their belated fear in their hearts.

Chapter 167 It's a bit chilly. The three-headed python made a noise, and the huge cracks in the ground posed the same threat to humans and zombies. Humans are smart and will choose to avoid it, but zombies will not. In a way, the cracks pose a greater threat to zombies. With the barrier of the surrounding cracks, Shuxin and the others were temporarily in a safe environment. After experiencing an extreme escape, their tense nerves suddenly relaxed and a feeling of fatigue swept over them. "It's relatively safe as there are no zombies around. Let's rest here." Yan Mo saw the fatigue in everyone's eyes and released his mental power to spread to the surroundings. Hearing Yan Mo's words, Shu Xin immediately released the white tiger and the snow wolf from the space. The sizes of the four of them kept changing as their levels increased. After reaching the fourth level, their sizes grew a lot larger, and they were easily enough to accommodate two adult men lying on their backs. Shu Xin and Yan Mo lay on Xiaobai's back, Dabai was given to Bu Yuanzhou, and Bu Xiangwen and Mu Qimai rested on the backs of their respective pets. Resting on the backs of the white tiger and the snow wolf saved them the trouble of getting tents or sleeping bags. If there were any emergencies, the white tiger and the snow wolf could take them away first, thus avoiding untimely responses. "Hmm - so fluffy and soft, so comfortable~" Shuxin threw herself on Xiaobai's back and sighed comfortably. She hadn't rubbed something fluffy for a long time and she really missed it. "Be careful, don't fall." Climbing onto Xiaobai's back, Yan Mo put his arms around his wife's waist and held her in his arms to prevent her from moving. "I know, I won't fall~" Shuxin retorted, but her body honestly found a comfortable position in her husband's arms. He lowered his head and pressed a kiss on Shuxin's forehead, then Yan Mo held Shuxin's hand tightly. I slept soundly until dawn, and everything returned to its best condition. "Brother Mo, do we need to continue waiting for Shen Yongchang and the others?" After finishing breakfast, Bu Yuanzhou turned his head and asked as Shen Yongchang and the others still hadn't shown up. "No need. It's still unknown whether they are alive or not. There's no need to waste time waiting for them. Let's go directly to H City." After thinking for a moment, Yan Mo shook his head. "We are not going with Shen Yongchang and the others. The original plan needs to be changed. We can discuss the specific details when we have time. Let's set off first." Yan Mo patted Xiaobai under him. Xiaobai flapped the wings on his back and flew out first. Dabai beside him followed closely behind. Zhuifeng and Tayun rushed out unwilling to be left behind. Bu Yuanzhou, who was on Dabai's back, was completely unprepared and was nearly thrown off. He pounced on Dabai's back and grabbed Dabai's fur tightly. When he steadied himself, he found two tufts of silver-white hair on his palms. Looking down, I found that the hair in the place where I had just scratched seemed to be much sparser than other places. Bu Yuanzhou silently threw the hair in his hand away, looked up at the sky and down at the ground, pretending nothing had happened. Dabai tilted his head and glanced at the back with some confusion: Strange? Suddenly I felt cold in two places on my back. What's going on? There was too much hair on its body, so Dabai didn't notice anything wrong for a while and continued to chase Xiaobai who was flying in the sky. Bu Xiangwen and Mu Qimai seemed to have anticipated that Ta Yun and Zhui Feng would rush out, so they lowered their bodies and center of gravity in advance, and sat steadily on the backs of the white tiger and the snow wolf without being thrown out.

Chapter 168 Arriving at H City , Shen Yongchang and his companions lost their only means of transportation and could only rely on their own two legs to make their way. Moreover, most of their supplies were placed in the trunk of the car. When they escaped from the car, they fell out before they could get them back, resulting in them only having a few scattered supplies on them now. Having lost their supplies and means of transportation, it was extremely difficult for them to return to H City safely. "Okay, everyone, don't be so depressed. The food we have left is only enough for today. Cheer up and move forward to see if we can find some more food. If we're lucky, maybe we can even pick up a usable car." " Humph, the people in Yan Mo's team are so selfish. They only care about their own lives and don't care about our lives at all. We worked so hard to run so far to pick them up, but they don't know how to be grateful at all." A man complained. "Okay, don't you know what kind of world we live in now? Never expect others to help you. They are not related to you in any way, so they have no responsibility or obligation to help you. If you rely on mountains, the mountains will fall and if you rely on people, they will run away. It is better to rely on yourself than on anything else." Shen Yongchang interrupted the man's complaints. In fact, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Yan Mo and the others' behavior, but he understood that there was nothing wrong with their actions. If Yan Mo and the others concealed the problem, it would be a question whether they could survive. No one else said anything. As Shen Yongchang was the person in charge of this team, many of the people there had followed him since the beginning of the apocalypse, so they were willing to listen to what he said. The man who was refuted lowered his head, with a trace of resentment in his eyes. After a hasty breakfast, Shen Yongchang and his party set out again towards H City. White tigers and snow wolves often travel through mountains and forests. Obstacles on the road are a piece of cake for them. Their forward speed is hardly slowed down by obstacles on the road, and is twice as fast as when they drive themselves. So, they decided not to drive for the rest of the journey and let White Tiger and Snow Wolf take them. Of course, they did not forget to collect zombie crystal cores. They did not let go of any zombies they met along the way. From time to time, they would specifically look for places where there were more zombies to collect them in batches. It would have taken them a month to drive this distance, but they reached City H in just half a month. "Wow, H City is indeed a heavy industrial province before the apocalypse. This base is built to give a sense of security." Bu Xiangwen couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the safe base in front of him that was like an iron barrel. The outer wall of the safe base in front of them was built to a height of 20 meters. The outermost layer of the wall was poured with a thick layer of molten iron, which looked extremely strong. At least zombies below level three could not cause any damage to the wall. "It's really a big deal. If you count them up, only H City in the whole country can come up with so much metal to pour such a large area of city wall." Looking at the thickness of the metal on the city wall and thinking about the area of H City's security base, Shu Xin couldn't help but be amazed. The items stored in her space were very complete, but there were no heavy metals. This was because she knew from the beginning that there was a ready-made safe base on the third floor of the space and there was no need to build a new one. Also, the area of her space was limited. If she stored heavy metals, there would be no room for other things. However, she just sighed and was not envious at all. After all, their base would be better and safer in the future. She did not forget that the safe base on the third level of space had a safety shield and a complete defense system. It was their first time in H City, and they needed to queue up and register before they could enter. They had already changed into a car, so they naturally stood in the middle of the line of people with special abilities, and soon it was their turn. "Name." "Yan Mo." "Yan Mo?!" The staff member, who had been doing his job impartially, looked up in surprise when he heard Yan Mo's name and carefully looked at the face of the person. After confirming that the person in front of them looked exactly like the person in the photo distributed to them, the staff member immediately stood up excitedly and said, "Captain Yan, you are finally here. The head of the Yan family has been waiting for you for a long time. I will take you to meet the head of the Yan family now?" " Okay, then what about the registration..." Seeing his reaction, Yan Mo also understood what was going on. He raised his eyebrows and agreed to go with him to see Yan Que. Anyway, they will come to H City to see Yan Que. It doesn't matter if they meet him sooner or later. There is no need to avoid it. "It's okay, we will help you and your team members later. Just come with me to meet the head of the Yan family first." The staff seemed very warm and attentive, which was completely different from their previous official attitude. "Lead the way." Yan Mo held Shu Xin's hand and walked beside the staff. Behind him, Bu Xiangwen, Mu Qimai and Bu Yuanzhou exchanged glances. Bu Xiangwen: Yan Que is really an old fox. He must have circulated their photos to his subordinates a long time ago, fearing that they would come and he wouldn't know! Mu Qimai: That is enough to show that Yan Que has considerable influence in H City. He even has people at the gate of the base. We have to be careful, especially Yuan Zhou. You have never had any contact with Yan Que, so you have to be even more careful. Bu Yuanzhou: Got it. I will. Bu Yuanzhou's inner thoughts: Why do I feel like I'm being looked down upon? Does he look like someone who would be easily fooled and just follow others wherever they go? If Bu Xiangwen and Mu Qimai could hear his inner voice, they would definitely answer in unison with certainty: Yes, you are. Considering that he was easily abducted back by Shu Xin, in the minds of both of them, Bu Yuanzhou had already been labeled as gullible. The staff brought them to a luxurious villa that looked no different from the one before the apocalypse. Someone was already waiting for them at the door. It seemed that someone had sent a message in advance. "Butler Zhang, I've brought the person here." Seeing the person standing at the door of the villa, the staff member quickly stepped forward and spoke to the person respectfully. "You've done a good job. This is your reward. You can leave now." The man called Butler Zhang took out three second-level crystal cores from his pocket and handed them to the man with a proud tone. "Okay, okay. I'll leave first then." The staff member left happily after receiving his reward. After the others left, Butler Zhang stood there and spoke: "You must be Young Master Yan Mo, right? The master has been waiting for you inside, please follow me." After saying that, without waiting for Yan Mo and the others' reaction, he turned around and walked inside, not taking Yan Mo and the others seriously at all. "Heh~" Yan Mo sneered lightly, and along with the sneer came a surge of powerful mental power, which directly pressed Butler Zhang, who was walking in front of him, to the ground.

Chapter 169: Jian Yan Que "Bang!" The sound of flesh hitting the ground was heard, and the other psychics who were standing guard in the villa saw that the butler Zhang, who was so arrogant and condescending the previous second, fell to the ground in an embarrassed manner the next second. "In the Yan family, I have never seen a servant being chased away before his master. It seems that the people under Yan Que are becoming more and more undisciplined. Since he can't manage them well, I don't mind helping him discipline them." Yan Mo took Shu Xin's hand and walked slowly to the side of Butler Zhang. He stopped but did not lower his head to look at the person lying on the ground. "You...what qualifications do you have to teach me a lesson on behalf of Master Yan!" Butler Zhang, who was struggling on the ground, roared and gasped. Veins bulged on his forehead and his expression became particularly ferocious because of the pain, which was very different from his arrogant and elite appearance just now. "Tsk~ Qualifications?" Yan Mo found it funny to be asked such a stupid question. He sneered and had no interest in answering his question. He walked past him and took Shu Xin and his teammates behind him into the villa. The people on duty nearby were so shocked that their brains went blank for a moment. They watched Yan Mo and his team members walk in with their own eyes, but no one thought of stopping them. After the figures of Yan Mo and his companions disappeared, the rest of the people reacted and hurried over to help Butler Zhang, who was still lying on the ground, up. Walking into the villa unimpeded, Yan Mo immediately saw the person sitting on the sofa with his back to them. "Young Master Yan, long time no see, please take a seat." The man in black standing next to Yan Que turned around respectfully and greeted Yan Mo. He had been following Yan Que since before the end of the world, so he naturally recognized Yan Mo and understood the temperament of this young master who looked very gentle. "I'm here." After Yan Mo and the others all sat down, Yan Que, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and seemed to be resting and calm, opened his eyes and said the first words after they entered the door. No one answered Yan Que's words, and silence and awkwardness spread in the villa. "Master Yan sent people all the way to find me in H City. Now that I'm here, why doesn't he say a word?" Yan Mo spoke without any ups and downs in his tone. "Hehe, you are my son. Everything in the Yan family will be yours from now on. Shouldn't I call you back to inherit the Yan family? Build up some relationships with your other brothers in advance. After I die, they will be your few relatives in the world." Yan Que could hear a hint of sarcasm in the other party's flat tone. It didn't matter. He was thick-skinned and didn't care anyway. "Tsk, I haven't seen you for a few years. Are you getting old and your memory is starting to deteriorate? I remember I said that my mother only gave birth to me as her only child, and don't associate me with other people who came out of nowhere." " Ahem, okay, let's not talk about them for now. You're going to inherit the Yan family eventually, right?" "No need. I have no interest in inheriting the Yan family, and I don't want to raise a bunch of bugs that eat free food and suck my blood." "You...! Yan Mo, have you really thought it through?! I have more than one son!" "Of course it doesn't have to be me. Just like the head of the Yan family said, you have more than one son, and I think your other good sons are very happy to inherit the Yan family." Yan Que was almost choked by Yan Mo's words. He didn't expect Yan Mo to become so stubborn that he didn't even want the right to inherit the Yan family. The vision, strategy, and means of his other sons combined are not as good as Yan Mo alone. If his remaining sons were not unable to shoulder the burden, why would he go to so much trouble to call Yan Mo back? It was completely unexpected that Yan Mo had no interest in inheriting the Yan family. Although he and Yan Mo had no feelings for each other and could even be considered to be on bad terms, he still had some understanding of his son. He was shrewd and would definitely give up something when it came to things that belonged to him. He was a complete ambitious man. He had to admit that Yan Mo was the most successful of all his sons, but of course this had nothing to do with him. "This must be Miss Shu Xinshu, right? As Yan Mo's woman, I hope you can help me persuade him. You must have seen on your way into the base the influence and status of the Yan family in the base. If Yan Mo can inherit all of this, you will live a better life than you do now." Seeing that Yan Mo was stubborn and there was no other way, he turned his attention to Shu Xin next to him. After seeing Shuxin's face clearly, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Yan Que's eyes. He immediately thought that Shuxin was the same as those women who wanted to curry favor with him. She was with Yan Mo just for his status and the benefits he could bring to her. "???" Shu Xin, who was sitting next to Yan Mo and was distracted, was suddenly called out and looked confused. "But... I'm just a weak woman without the right to speak, and my words are useless. Besides, as long as it's Brother Mo's decision, I support it all. Master Yan, you should find another son. I believe that among so many sons of yours, there will definitely be one who can inherit your family business and make the Yan family prosperous and strong!" Shu Xin thought for a moment and looked at him with embarrassment. From time to time, she looked at the man beside her with eyes full of dependence and love, but the words from her mouth were like stabbing a knife into people's hearts. Bu Xiangwen, who was sitting on another sofa, was trying so hard to hold back his laughter that he injured himself. Mu Qimai was not sensitive to such things, and Bu Yuanzhou had a paralyzed face and his emotions could not be read at all. Yan Que:... What's going on? He felt like his heart was stabbed with many knives, and why did his stomach feel bloated? Not sure, let's wait and see. I looked at the two people opposite me a few more times. Damn, I felt even fuller! "If there is nothing else, Master Yan, then we will take our leave. There are still many things we need to do." "Wait, the rooms upstairs have been cleaned up for you, you can live in the villa." "No need to bother, it's safer for us to live out, don't you think, Master Yan?" Yan Mo glanced at Yan Que with a smile. "Okay, I have no objection to you living outside." Yan Que looked at Yan Mo without any guilt. He had indeed arranged for people to install eavesdropping devices and cameras in their rooms in advance, hoping to collect some of their secrets when they were least prepared and use it as a handle to threaten them. Anyway, they have already arrived at his territory. Even if they don't stay in the room he arranged in advance, he still has the opportunity to find something to hold against them, so there is no need to rush. ------------------------------------- Mini Theater: Yan Que: Why do I feel full when I see young couples? Man in Black: That's called dog food...

Chapter 170: Quotes from the Domineering Boss After coming out of the Yan family's villa, their identity certificates had been processed and there were special staff waiting outside to give them to them. With free labor delivered to their doorstep, they naturally would not refuse it. When Yan Mo and his friends went to rent a house, the staff who handled the procedures for them seemed very surprised. It seemed that in their eyes, they would definitely live in the Yan family's villa. The security base in City H covers a large area. Due to the large population, there are many types of houses built, including shanty towns where ordinary people live, single and double rooms for lone psychics, duplex apartments where psychic teams live together, and villa areas which serve as the base camp for the psychic teams. They couldn't stay in H City for that long, so a two-story apartment with a rental period of neither too long nor too short was just right for them. They had enough crystal cores to pay the rent. A two-story apartment in the H City Security Base "Brother Mo, did you notice anything from Yan Que's performance today?" "Not yet. The old fox didn't reveal any flaws. However, the more perfectly he hides it, the more it proves that he has something to hide. His purpose of sending us to H City is not simple. It seems that he has a big plan." Yan Mo said as he put the things in his hands in place. They had just moved in and were cleaning the room to check if anyone had installed anything that shouldn't be there. On the other side, the Yan family said, "You should have received the news. Yan Mo has arrived in H city today. Behave yourself recently and don't act rashly in front of him. If I find out who said something nonsense and ruined my good fortune, you will no longer be a member of the Yan family." Yan Que looked at the older children in front of him who he had called back, and his tone was unprecedentedly cold. Don't be a member of the Yan family = be a ghost of the Yan family. Yan·The older children understood what their old father meant and nodded in unison without any hesitation, showing that they were very obedient. Seeing that the older children were relatively well-behaved, Yan Que's expression improved a lot and he waved his hand to let them go. "Master, do we really want to do this?" The man in black who stood behind Yan Que during the day appeared silently and asked the question after hesitating for a long time. "We must absolutely do this. Keeping him here will only be the biggest threat to us. It is better to let him make the final contribution to the Yan family, so that the Yan family will not have trained him in vain for so many years. Haven't they found a place to live? The rest of the things will proceed as planned." "Yes." After receiving the order, the man in black quietly disappeared. Shuxin and his friends spent three days of leisurely life in the base. They wandered around the base every day as if they were visiting a tourist attraction. They would eat on time when it was time for meals, go back for lunch after meals, and then come out to continue wandering in the afternoon. The spies who followed them secretly became jealous when they saw how leisurely and comfortable their lives were. Some people can go shopping and eat every day, while others are working hard. The gap between people is too big! "Wow~ It's so comfortable~ Life has been really leisurely these past few days. It feels like I haven't enjoyed life like this for a long time." Shu Xin lay on the lazy sofa. On the small coffee table next to her was a plate of fresh cream strawberries just picked from the space. She ate one by one, taking a sip of slightly bitter tea from time to time. It was so comfortable~ Others also had their favorite fruits at hand. Several people sat around a red-hot iron stove and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon tea time. When I woke up from my lunch break today, it started snowing outside. In the apocalypse, no matter whether it is raining or snowing, people will choose to avoid going out. Even if they have to go out, they will be fully armed to ensure that no skin is exposed before going out. The reason for doing this is that people have found that if the skin exposed to the outside is exposed to rain or snow and is not washed with clean water in time, it will gradually corrode and ulcerate. After the water source was polluted, clean water became extremely precious. Ordinary people did not even have enough water to drink, so how could they be willing to use clean water to wash their skin? Later, everyone chose not to go out on rainy and snowy days. "It looks calm on the surface, but there are undercurrents hidden underneath. It's amazing." Yan Mo picked up the tongs placed next to the stove and turned the sweet potatoes in the stove. The flames in the stove flickered up and down. "In the past three days, at least five different forces have sent people to follow us. Two of the forces followed us for two days and stopped on the third day. I guess they were simply curious about us. The remaining three forces followed us relentlessly from morning to night every day, but their purpose is unknown." Mu Qimai, who was called out, told us what he had observed in the past few days. "!!!" "So many people are following us? One of them must be sent by Yan Que, where did the remaining two groups come from? We have just arrived in H City not long ago, how come so many people noticed us?" Shu Xin swallowed the strawberry in her mouth, bent on three fingers, and pressed down one. "I guess one of them is officially sent by the H City base." A gleam of light flashed in Bu Yuanzhou's eyes. "Yes, Yuanzhou is right. Among them are official members of the base. Yan Que's forces and the official forces are almost evenly matched in the base. On the surface, I brought you into the base under the identity of Yan's family. If we choose to join Yan Que's forces, the balanced situation will be broken and the official will be suppressed." "Seeing that we are not living in the Yan family, they must have guessed that Yan Que and I don't have a good relationship, and chose to observe us to see if it is true. If it is true, they will choose to win us over or persuade us to be neutral." Seeing the confusion on Shuxin's face, Yan Mo carefully analyzed the current situation in H City for her. "Oh~ So that's how it is. What about the last group of people? Where do they come from?" After Yan Mo's explanation, Shu Xin suddenly realized, and then remembered that the identity of the last group of people had not been revealed, so he asked hurriedly. "The last group of people is even more interesting. I have used my mental power to monitor their conversations. They are very careful when speaking outside. They speak in code words that only they can understand. They are also dressed the most concealed among the group. It seems like they are afraid that others will recognize their identities." Speaking of the last group of people, Yan Mo's mouth curled up into a smile with interest. Shu Xin: I know this expression. To put it in the words of a domineering president: Very good woman, you have successfully caught my attention. "Why do I feel more and more ashamed the more I listen? Could it be some underground organization that wants to capture us and study us?" Bu Xiangwen touched his arm exaggeratedly.
