Hope Base was perfect in all aspects. The people in the base checked Chu Xiang and the others and invited them into the base. However, the base was actually divided into two parts. One part was for the people living in the base, and the other part was for the outsiders when they first arrived. The outsiders had to gain the trust of the base before they could enter the residential area. This ensured the safety of the base to the greatest extent, and it didn't make the people feel uncomfortable.
Chu Xiang and the others' belongings were checked and confirmed to be harmless, so they kept them for themselves. The base didn't want any personal belongings, and even gave them some food to express their welcome. The food was from the base's own vegetables. It was especially fresh and showed the strength and characteristics of the base.
The people in the base weren't very warm to them, but they weren't very cold either. They just treated them politely, friendly, and didn't let their guard down.
They observed for a while, and Chu Xiang felt that this base wasn't bad. They could stay for a few more days and rest. She said, "The vegetables they grow are very good. We can change some and make some salted vegetables. After we leave, we can eat for a long time. Remember this place. Later, we'll go to other places. If there's no food, we can come back. "
"Okay." Xiao Jin nodded and made a mark on the map. He looked around carefully and remembered the location.
Xiao Cheng nudged Ai, who was silent. "Why are you unhappy? The captain is doing well here. Isn't it suitable for you to stay here? Maybe when the base grows stronger, you can continue to do research. Wouldn't it be great if you don't have to run around? "
Ai glared at him. "It's so good. You want to stay?"
"Of course not. I still have to follow my brother and the captain to kill zombies. You've learned so much. You can only use it if you stay in the base. "Xiao Cheng avoided Ai's gaze. He felt a little uncomfortable. However, he felt that he couldn't leave his brother, and he couldn't always bring Ai to take risks. This was the best result.
How could Ai not see through his thoughts? She felt funny and angry at the same time. She hit him hard, got up, and ran back to her room.
Chu Xiang threw a crystal nucleus at Xiao Cheng's head. "Why aren't you going to comfort her?"
Xiao Cheng rubbed where he was hit and muttered, "I'm not going. Isn't it a waste of talent for her to follow us? We can't protect her anymore. With her skills, she'll be a dead end if she meets a high-level zombie. "
Xiao Jin looked at the map and didn't even raise his head. "Then let's keep her. Maybe she'll be lucky and won't meet a hypocrite like Peng Peng again. Maybe someone in the base would be willing to protect her and help her when the zombies attacked. By the way, she might be able to eat and drink well in the base. She might even be valued and be allowed to do research and live a comfortable life. "
Xiao Cheng stopped and frowned. Xiao Jin laughed and slapped the map on his head. "Don't be stupid. If you can't protect her, do you think the base can protect her? This world base is not necessarily safer than the outside world. Do you think they are willing to let you in? "
"I …" Xiao Cheng was speechless. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was unreliable for Ai to stay alone. If she really encountered danger, there was nothing he could do. He fidgeted uneasily and went to find Ai in less than two minutes.
Xiao Jin shook his head. "Cheng is asking for trouble. Now there's something to be coaxed."
Chu Xiang looked at him and laid on the sofa with her eyes closed. "You seem to be very experienced. Don't call me your brother. Do you want to walk around the base and see if there's a girl that moves your heart?"
"How come it's me? What about you? Why don't you go and see if there's a man that moves your heart? "Xiao Jin laughed." What kind of man can move your heart? Why can't I think of one? "
"What moves my heart? It's the one who catches my eye in the crowd. This world has become so dirty. The only thing that I can see is probably zombies. I don't have such a heavy taste. " Chu Xiang pulled the blanket over her body and said in a low voice, "I'm going to sleep for a while. Wake me up when it's time to eat."
"Okay." Xiao Jin folded the map and put it down. He looked at her for a while and quietly went to the other side of the room. He didn't want to disturb her.
Unexpectedly, less than half a minute after they were quiet, there was a commotion outside. Chu Xiang immediately opened her eyes and sat up. "Go and call Xiao Cheng and the others. I'll go out and take a look."
Xiao Jin responded and quickly ran upstairs. Chu Xiang went out and saw that the outsiders nearby were as confused as she was. The people in the base had all picked up their weapons and looked nervous.
Chu Xiang ran to the manager of the base, Zhou Zhen, and asked, "What happened? An enemy attack? "
Zhou Zhen glanced at her. "This is between our base and Dawn Base. Stay away and don't get involved. Don't get hurt."
"Dawn Base?" Chu Xiang was a little surprised. They had chosen this place at the fork in the road because they felt that Dawn Base wasn't a good place. They didn't expect that Dawn Base and Hope Base had a grudge against each other.
Chu Xiangtu watched from a distance. Before he knew what the conflict between the two sides was, it was best not to get involved. After all, it had nothing to do with them. They were just passing by.
There were quite a number of people from Dawn Base. There were at least ten metahumans and a truck full of fully armed soldiers. They started fighting with Hope Base after exchanging a few words. The battle was extremely intense, and it was a fight to the death.
Xiao Jin and the others found Chu Xiang and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Chu Xiang looked at the group of people fighting fiercely. "It seems that Dawn Base wants to annex Hope Base. Hope Base doesn't want to, so they have to fight back. According to them, this isn't the first time they've fought. It's just that there hasn't been a final result … "
Chu Xiang was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly stopped because she saw two familiar people.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the man and woman in the distance. She dug out their information from the original owner's memory. The girl was called Yao Li. She was a good friend of the original owner. The boy was their classmate, Xu Zhou. At that time, seven or eight of them escaped together. Yao Li stayed with the original owner. She was very opinionated and always made the right decision.
Later, Yao Li suddenly ignored the original owner. The original owner looked for Yao Li twice, but Yao Li found excuses to brush her off. Before the original owner could figure out what was going on, she was bullied by a male classmate. At that time, the original owner desperately resisted and asked Yao Li for help. But Yao Li and the other classmates turned their heads and pretended not to see. They refused to help.
After that, they left the original owner and let a few zombies into the house. They didn't leave any food. They wanted the original owner to die there. Chu Xiang moved two steps to the side so that Yao Li and Xu Zhou couldn't see her. She whispered, "I hope the people here can work together. I can see that Zhou Zhen is very popular. They help each other and protect each other. They have a good relationship and are working hard to survive together. I think we should help them. If they are annexed by Dawn Base, they won't have a good ending. "
"Then let's do it." Xiao Jin moved his wrist and took the lead to join the battle.
Xiao Cheng followed closely behind. Before leaving, he stuffed the gun into Ai's hand and said, "Follow the captain closely. Don't run around by yourself."
Ai moved closer and asked curiously, "Sister Xiang, what are we doing now?"
Chu Xiang crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. She smiled and said, "We're just looking around. The two of them are enough. Hope is also very strong."
Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng were already cultivators. They both had spiritual roots and high endowments. They had also absorbed so many high-level crystal cores. Their strength was definitely the strongest in this group of people. As soon as the two of them joined the battle, the situation became one-sided. In less than ten minutes, the outcome was obvious.
Dawn Base didn't take this loss. When they found out that Hope had strong people, they tested the strength of the Xiao brothers and retreated. Hope fought with them a few times. Every time, it was a draw. This time, they didn't chase after them. They retreated after beating them out of Hope's area.
Zhou Zhen thanked the Xiao brothers gratefully. Xiao Jin smiled and said, "Our captain told us to. If you want to thank someone, thank our captain."
They walked back to where Chu Xiang was standing. They didn't see Chu Xiang. Xiao Jin looked around and asked Ai, "Where's Chu Xiang?"
Ai shook his head. "I don't know. Sister Xiang had something to do just now. She told us not to wait for her. She'll come back when she's done."
Zhou Zhen immediately asked, "Should we send someone to look for her? Chu Xiang isn't familiar with this area, is she? If she accidentally enters Dawn Base's area, it could be very troublesome. After all, Chu Xiang is very beautiful. "
Ai waved his hand. "Don't worry about that. Sister Xiang is the strongest in our team. I haven't seen anyone who can make her suffer."
Since they didn't need to look for her, Zhou Zhen didn't bother. He called everyone over to thank them for their help. Then, he gave them a basket of vegetables to express his gratitude. He sincerely invited them to stay in the base and hoped that they would consider it.
Although Xiao Jin wanted to know where Chu Xiang went, he didn't know where to start. He could only return to his residence and wait.
Chu Xiang quietly followed Yao Li back and entered Dawn Base without anyone noticing. On the way, she discovered that Yao Li was actually a space ability user. She took out food and water out of thin air for everyone and made extra weapons disappear.
This was the first time she saw a space ability user. She couldn't figure it out. Other abilities were obtained by relying on spiritual roots. What did space ability rely on? Yao Li carried so many things, so her space definitely wouldn't be there. This was very illogical. She could see that the people of Dawn Base were very polite to Yao Li. That Xu Zhou had become an ability user and was now Yao Li's personal bodyguard. Yao Li was very valued.
After entering the base, Chu Xiang couldn't walk around openly. She waved her hand and the Heaven and Earth Mirror appeared. She had it follow Yao Li. Then, she hid in a dark room and observed Yao Li's situation through the Heaven and Earth Mirror.
After Yao Li returned to her room, she complained to Xu Zhou, "What's with those two people? Where did they come from? They made us go through a lot of trouble. "
Xu Zhou frowned. "I think I heard Zhou Zhen call them Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng. I've never heard of them. They should be newcomers, right?"
"Xiao Cheng?" Yao Li's eyes lit up, then widened. "Wait, one of them is called Xiao Jin? He's not crippled? "
Xu Zhou was puzzled. "What's wrong? You know him? "
"No, I just heard from others that Xiao Jin was in danger. He risked his life to save his life. Why is he so powerful now? "Yao Li replied casually. She lowered her head and looked serious.
The Heaven and Earth Mirror moved over, and Chu Xiang took in all of Yao Li's reactions. She recalled the scene when she first met Xiao Jin. Did this Yao Li know something? But Xiao Jin had never encountered a situation where he could become crippled.
Chu Xiang looked at Yao Li and thought of a possibility. Then, she thought of another very important matter.
