BASE

CHAPTER 101 - ROB

Sunset Rain didn't stop him, she didn't plan to continue wading in this muddy water.

Jiang Xianxing finally believed that Mu Yu really had no purpose. If she really had a goal, then she would say something.

After she opened the door, she stopped and said, I will use the crystal core to return it to you.

Mu Yu replied, Alright.

She also didn't like doing things that were a waste of money. She had thought that even if Jiang Xianxing owed her a favor, she would still have to pay it back in the future.

Since Jiang Xianxing had suggested it herself, she naturally had no reason to refuse.

Sunset Rain thought that things would end like this. What she didn't expect was that half an hour after Jiang Niangjun left, Brother Yan's people found her house.

The sound of someone knocking on the door was extremely intense, as if the door was about to be broken into pieces.

Pan Xiu put down his dagger and walked to the door. When he opened the door, he saw a group of men, looking very similar to those ruffians from before the apocalypse.

Before the apocalypse, they had the same title – Big Brother Society. This adjective has been around the internet for a long time, and for the sake of its popularity, many people have followed their example and committed crimes in order to stimulate it.

Pan Xiu, who was at the base, had seen a lot of things, so she wasn't afraid. She asked, Who are you?

The next moment, she was pushed by a man and staggered before falling onto the ground.

Mu Hongzhi came out of his bedroom. Seeing Pan Xiu sitting on the floor, he hastily went to help him up. In the end, he looked at the man leading the group of ten or so people and asked, What are you guys doing?

To find Mu Yu. The man in the lead said without any trace of politeness.

Why are you looking for Xiao Yu? Pan Xiu thought that these people were here to steal materials, but he didn't think that they were here to find Sunset Rain.

He didn't know how Xiao Yu had angered these people, but could it be … Was it the injured woman he brought back yesterday? Pan Xiu thought with uncertainty.

The man in the lead patiently explained everything that had happened, confirming Pan Xiu's thoughts. Yesterday, someone told me that she brought back a woman covered in blood. As long as she hands that woman over, everyone would be happy.

However, to Pan Xiu, these words sounded like a lie.

As long as they handed over the women, they would leave it at that? In the past, she would have believed it. But now, she did not!

Mu Hongzhi also didn't believe it and said, We don't know what you're talking about. Little Yu went on a quest.

Brother Yan smiled in disdain, walked over to the wooden bench and sat down, saying very politely, Okay, then let's wait here for her to come out.

Pan Xiu snapped, You're affecting our lives by doing this!

Brother Yan didn't say anything. Behind him, another man said, Aunt, listen well. We are responsible for more than half of area C, including the place you are staying. If we really have to calculate, it is you who are here and affecting our lives."

Su Jiang only dared to say these words to a few inconspicuous people in Area C, so he could use them to scare them.

Pan Xiu frowned. Could it be that these people were in charge of managing Area C?

The situation turned into a stalemate.

Mu Yu was in the bedroom practicing his superpower, recovering his meridians, and came out after hearing the noises outside.

When Pan Xiu and Mu Hongzhi saw Mu Yu Mu come out, their expressions became anxious. It was obvious from one look that these people were not carefree people. What if something happened to Sunset Rain?

In this world, there were many nice people who could commit heinous acts, not to mention these people who originally had bad characters and appeared to be fiendish.

Yo, isn't this the Rain who went on a mission? The leading man said sarcastically when he saw Mu Yu.

Sunset Rain had never seen Brother Yan's face before. She had only heard those voices last night.

Judging from the voices, the leader of the group with a knife scar on his eyebrows was Brother Yan. Behind him, Mu Yu saw Su Jiang.

She had seen Su Jiang while hiding in the dark last night, and behind Su Jiang were some of the more than 20 people that had gone with him to find Su Jiang last night.

There was only one reason for these people to come here, and that was because they knew that she had brought Jiang Xiaolian back home. Judging from last night's events, those people had all left. No one had seen her carrying Jiang Qianxue back to her residence.

Of course, none of that mattered anymore. Now, these people already knew that she was the one who brought Jianghu back home last night.

Mu Yu looked at Brother Yan and said, I didn't go on a mission.

Brother Yan curled up his lips and revealed a sinister smile. I'm looking for Jiang Xiao Jun. I know you brought her back here. Tell me, where is she?

Mu Yu's body was still very weak, so he couldn't fight head on with her. He pretended to be unaware and asked, Are you talking about that injured woman from last night?

Brother Yan knew that Sunset Rain was asking on the spur of the moment, but he believed that Sunset Rain and River Dress Jun didn't know each other. One was in Area C, the other was in Area F, so unless they often wandered around Area F, they wouldn't be able to get to know each other.

He asked back, What do you think?

Mu Yu replied, I don't know her. I just saw that she was injured and helped her clean her wound. When I woke up in the morning, she was gone. I don't know where she went.

Brother Yan nodded, as if he understood, but his words were the opposite, If I find out that someone is with you, all of you are finished. Search!

Receiving the order, the dozen people behind him began to search for Mu Yu's house. Although every iron house in Area C was divided into two rooms, it was still very small.

After five to six minutes, more than ten people had already searched through the Sunset Rain Clan's house. They even searched for secret entrances, but none of them had any results.

In the end, Su Jiang stood straight in front of Brother Yan and said, No, but there are quite a few materials.

Only now did Brother Yan believe that Mu Yu wasn't lying. Of course, he didn't plan on letting it go just like that.

He knew that Mu Yu knew Yuan Chaoyang, but he couldn't touch Mu Yu. So, if he took away the appropriate amount of resources from Mu Yu's family, Yuan Chao Ye could still use such a small matter to oppose him? It's not like I'm taking everything, just a tax.

Thinking like this, Brother Yan said, Mu Yu, since you saved that woman, our brothers in the team will feel bad. How about this, give us half of your family's food, and we'll even it up. The food provided by the brothers in the team is too terrible, let's make it up for them.

Pan Xiu naturally wouldn't listen. The food had all been earned painstakingly by Sunset Rain, so how could they give it to others like this?

Seeing that those people had started to move their things without their permission, Pan Xiu bellowed, You're robbing us!

In this situation, Mu Yu was unable to fight back and didn't speak to Brother Yan. He pulled Pan Xiu's hand and whispered in her ear, Mom, it's okay, I'll get the supplies back.

After all, these people couldn't run away with their goods and materials, like how it was in Huau Nu's case.

Judging from their arrogant attitude, they must have a solid foundation in Area C.

The materials that she had saved up were for the price of the rice noodles to rise in the future. Naturally, she would not hand them over to others.

Since they couldn't escape, she would definitely retrieve them when she recovered.

CHAPTER 102 - A PROBE INTO YU JINZHEN

Yan-ge didn't put Sunset Rain in his eyes, even though there was a zombie in the sky gap, he still went to do defense work. When Shen Hui Jing's wall of earth was shattered, the curtain of rain gave many people a shock.

But that was only water.

The fact that water could block zombies could only mean that zombies were too weak. As for Shen Hui Jing, he had always regarded him as trash and never placed him in his eyes.

Naturally, he wouldn't care about Mu Yu. Seeing Mu Yu's attitude today, he didn't dare to resist at all and lowered his opinion of Mu Yu even more.

At the very least, when Shen Huanjing encountered this matter, he would still resist a few times, waiting until he couldn't win before compromising. As for Mu Yu, she wouldn't even resist.

Women, they were still women.

After moving the supplies, the group left Sunset Rain's residence. Actually, there weren't that many of them. However, when Pan Xiu saw that most of the supplies were gone, she couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, the supplies were just secondary, it was fine as long as Xiaoyu was fine.

After those people left, Pan Xiu smiled at Mu Yu, then silently walked to the stool and sat down.

After experiencing such an incident, Ren Ziling was in a bad mood.

What Sunset Rain could only do now was to recover her superpower as fast as possible.

There was one more thing. Her Discipline was weakening – the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

She thought of many things, many hidden troubles. For example, that lazy and fat woman, for example, that venomous and heartless He Yu, that extremely attentive and solicitous Yu Zhen, as well as Mo Chao Nan and Xu Jieting, who were always making small movements behind her back, and the daughter-in-law who had already given birth to someone else's child.

Thinking of this, Mu Yu felt his head hurt. In her previous life, there were many such things in the base. However, because her team did quite well in the Fengyang base, there weren't many people who would cause trouble for them.

She wouldn't take the initiative to cause trouble, except for her previous life, which she had escaped from at the beginning of the apocalypse.

The later part of his life was very simple. During the day, he would go out on missions and at night, he would sleep. The base had been attacked and they would defend against the walls.

The life in this life was more exciting. Not to mention Xu JIuting and Mo Qianni who were behind her, it was already very troublesome for the fat woman who wanted to openly cause trouble for her.

Every day when she was in the tent, the fat woman would come out every few days to cause a ruckus. However, the things she did recently made her seem even more artistic. It was as if she had received guidance from an expert.

The onlookers gradually felt that this fat woman really couldn't let her husband go, which was why she came to find Mu Yu for compensation every day. In fact, it was because she missed her dead husband.

And no matter what Mu Yu said, she wouldn't compensate. She didn't have a single hair on her head, so she simply didn't have a conscience.

Some of the onlookers started to say that in this world, the fat woman was simply inciting trouble. Some people believed that with the death of the fat woman's husband, Mu Yu should give her compensation.

What Mu Yu didn't understand was that the fat woman could really insist.

Perhaps she had made a deal with He Yu.

...

These few days, Sunset Rain was planning to take a leave of absence from the main camp. If he went there, he would expose the fact that his superpower had weakened.

As for the mission, there was no problem. Her stamina had always been plentiful, she only needed to use her knife to cut down zombies.

Because of Mu Yu's recent water-type superpower, the plants in the large shed that were originally small in size had turned into all kinds of vegetables. Some of the plants were timely, while others weren't.

The most abundant species are sweet potatoes, potatoes, taro and other food tolerance. A few cabbages and vegetables. And some fruit.

Those in charge of the sheds saw what was going on with Liang Dan's superiors and decided to expand the sheds. They also wanted to train wood and water users.

For the past few days, the high-ranking officer in charge of the shanty had arranged for some water-based Adepts to come to the shanty and help the wood-based Adepts grow their plants.

When Liang Dan saw Mu Yu walk into the tent, he walked over enthusiastically and greeted her as usual, Mu Yu, you've come to work.

Mu Yu shook her head and said, I came to ask for leave. You don't lack water ability users, so I decided to take a few days leave to practice weapons with my parents.

He walked over to stand in front of them, and before Liang Dan could say anything, he said, Mu Yu, your water special ability can't be compared to those low level water special ability users. It can be said that the development of this shed was all thanks to you. Two weeks ago, this area was still in wasteland, and when the young seedlings grew out, they would die, not growing at all until you appeared.

In the last few days the base has been sending water users over, but their powers are simply too weak. They can't handle the water after just three young plants. "The base was originally very satisfied with our results. Every five days, it will produce a piece of ripe potato and sweet potato. If you take a leave, this progress will be slowed down a lot.

This time, Mu Yu had no choice but to take a leave of absence, so she could only say, Sorry, I really want to rest for a few days this time.

Liang Dan finally understood that Mu Yu saying that he would practice with his parents was just an excuse, but in reality, he was just tired.

For the work at the base, there were people who didn't want to do it. They could change to something else. If they wanted to rest, then so could they. After all, Mu Yu was doing a lot of work at the same time, so Liang Dan couldn't restrict Mu Yu's personal freedom.

After all, Mu Yu didn't resign this time and asked for leave. If her attitude wasn't good and Mu Yu changed jobs, when the higher-ups questioned her, they would definitely blame her for not managing properly.

Yu Zhenjun still wanted to persuade her, but Liang Dan said, Zhenjun, forget it. Let her apply for leave. Sunset Rain has to do missions every day and also come to the big shed. It is inevitable that she will be tired.

With her reminder, Yu Zhenjun realized that Sunset Rain did a lot of things at the same time and could only stop trying to persuade her. A trace of suspicion appeared in his eyes.

Through her contact with Mu Yu, she understood that Mu Yu wasn't someone who would ask for a leave of absence because she was tired.

Then it must not be as simple as tiredness.

Looking at the departing figure of Mu Yu Yu's back, Yu Zhen rolled her eyes and had an idea in her heart.

...

Yu Zhen would come to the Mu Yu family, but Mu Yu Mu had never thought about it. Before she went on her mission, she was so forgetful that she remembered when she had left her dagger at home to get it. Pan Xiu was happily greeting Yu Zhenjun.

Sunset Rain quickly moved to the side and stood outside the door, intending to listen to what Yu Zhenjun and Pan Xiu had to say.

As for Yu Zhen, Mu Yu had always been on guard against her because she was too attentive.

Yu Jinzhen had probably just arrived. She was sitting on a wooden stool and smiling all the time. Her smile was very gentle.

Mu Yu heard her say: Hello Aunt Pan, I'm Mu Yu's friend. I heard from your neighbor that the Shining Solar Group came here to steal some rice. I don't think I have anything to help you with. As soon as I got off work, they brought some rice over.

With that, she put the bag on the table and opened it. There was at least half a catty of rice. To Yu Zhen, this was not a small amount.

CHAPTER 103 - THE PURPOSE OF HE YU

Yu Zhenjun would know that the news wasn't strange and that the neighbors had all spread it.

However, it was more strange when she brought the rice over.

From her words, Mu Yu knew that the team was the Radiant Sun party. To be honest, she had never heard of this team in her previous life.

Seeing Mi, Pan Xiu narrowed her eyes and said, Ah, Xiao Yu, this kid has pretty good friends. Sit, I'll get you some water. Mi, bring you back yourself. Life must not be easy for a young girl.

However, Yu Zhenjun said, Auntie, there's no need. Mu Yu said that she was sick, so I brought her the rice. I just want to ask, what exactly happened to Mu Yu's body, and why did she need to ask for a leave of absence from the big shed? "

Hearing this, Pan Xiu thought that Mu Yu had told Yu Zhen about his body condition, and said, Ai … … Xiao Yu, because of that Heavenly Foundation …

Mom, I forgot to take the knife. Mu Yu interrupted Pan Xiu and slowly walked through the door.

Pan Xiu looked at Mu Yu and said, Ah, this child has no other shortcomings, but his forgetfulness.

Yu Zhenjun was very surprised to see Mu Yu Yu come back, but she was still smiling.

Mu Yu seemed to have just seen Yu Zhen and said, Yu Zhen, how come you're free to come to my house?

Yu Zhenjun pointed at the rice she brought and said, Mu Yu, I was afraid that you were sick so I brought some rice to see you. You weren't home, so I chatted with your mother for a while.

From the looks of it, Sunset Rain probably didn't know what she had just asked Pan Xiu. This way, she would feel at ease.

The time was not ripe yet, so he couldn't let Mu Yu be wary of him.

Unfortunately, what Yu Zhenjun didn't know was that from the moment they started interacting, her courtesy had already made Mu Yu alert.

Mu Yu walked into the bedroom, took the knife out of the drawer and put it on his waist.

Pan Xiu was outside and was about to speak to Yu Jinzhen. However, this time she stopped her and said, Auntie Pan, it's getting late. I'll be leaving first.

Pan Xiu greeted, Sure, you often come to visit, right?

When she saw Mu Yu came out of the bedroom, she said, Mu Yu, I'll be leaving first.

Mu Yu's expression didn't change and said, En.

After Yu Zhen left, Mu Yu didn't go out, and instead closed the door.

Pan Xiu felt that it was very strange and asked, Xiao Yu, you already have a team for your mission, right? They're not waiting for you? Still not leaving?

I'll let them go first. Mu Yu paused for a moment and said, I don't have a good relationship with Yu Jinzhen and I didn't tell her that I was sick. I went to the shed today and only took a leave of absence.

Pan Xiu stared blankly for a moment. Then, as if she had thought of something, she said, So, she's testing me?

Sunset Rain nodded in tacit agreement.

Only then did Pan Xiu feel a chill down his spine. "Yu Zhenjun looked like a child about Mu Yu's age. She thought Mu Yu had really made friends with her in this base where the weather wasn't too good.

But she was actually here to test her?

Was there anything wrong with Mu Yu's body?

Even though she didn't know Yu Jinzhen's motive, Pan Xiu still knew it. This kind of probing must have a purpose.

Luckily, Mu Yu came back just now, or else she would have been deceived by Yu Zhen's appearance and told her everything that happened the day before yesterday.

After saying this, Sunset Rain went out.

On the other side, Yu Jinzhen did not manage to figure out what had happened to Mu Yu. After walking out of Mu Yu's house, a white figure followed her.

Few people walked on the roads during the day. At this time, either they were on missions, helping to expand the base, working in sheds, or patrolling. Everyone had something to do.

Yu Zhenjun walked forward for a while, her eyes narrowed as she stopped in her tracks. She heard footsteps behind her.

The footsteps were still behind her, not concealing that they were following Yu Zhen.

Yu Zhenjun turned around and saw a beautiful woman with light makeup and a very clean light blue shirt. Just from her first impression, she already knew that this woman had quite a high position in the base, so her life must have been pretty good.

You are? Yu Zhen was the first to speak.

Since this woman was following her, it must be for a reason.

The woman's lips curled up, and her smile became extremely flirtatious, as if she had been possessed by a bewitching beauty.

My name is He Yu.

Yu Zhen muttered, He Yu?

She had a familiar name. She searched through her mind and realized that the group that was currently located in Area C, which could only be compared to Team One of the Bio-Origin Stage, had accepted a person.

She was a woman, the girlfriend of a certain senior executive in the base. Of course, the title of girlfriend was what she called herself.

In fact, this woman was not the high-ranking girlfriend, but … her ex-girlfriend.

This woman was He Yu.

Ever since He Yu had joined the Pengxiang Team and was widely announced, many people in Area C knew of He Yu's existence.

Although there were a lot of people who knew about it before, their reputations weren't very good. After joining the team, her reputation miraculously improved.

He had changed from a woman who was attached to a man to a strong woman.

Many of the team's internal and logistical work was done by He Yu. After all, she was a woman. She managed the internal affairs of the team in a neat and orderly manner, resolving the conflicts between the internal staff and the personnel.

She knew that He Yu would definitely not look for her for no reason, so she revealed a gentle smile and asked, So you're the second in command of Team Ping Xiang, what business do you have with me?

He Yu raised her eyebrows and said, Of course there's something wrong. Do you think that it's all right and that I would come and find you?

Being in a high position, it was hard not to be proud. To be honest, He Yu's first impression of her wasn't very good.

Of course, Yu Zhenjun did not take He Yu's attitude seriously. Instead, she asked, Then what do you want? And why do you think I will agree?

Now, it was He Yu who wanted to talk to her about cooperating, so naturally, she had to clear up the chips.

He Yu inadvertently said, I had someone observe for a few days and you seem to take the matter of Mu Yu very seriously. You also asked around and found out that the first time you saw Mu Yu, you became especially passionate towards her. But from those people, I learned that you have a lot of friends.

I don't deny that no matter if it is before or after the apocalypse, there will always be people who can eat it wherever they go. However, you are showing too much enthusiasm for Sunset Rain."

He Yu's topic went from the very beginning to the very beginning. She did not try to hide the fact that she was being followed.

With regards to this matter, Yu Zhen could only smile.

Something like this would always happen. The conflict within the small group in the base, wasn't it you who hit me, me who hit you? In the end, it only led to a few worthless lives.

Naturally, there would also be people watching her for their own purposes.

CHAPTER 104 - IS UNDER SURVEILLANCE

However, Yu Zhenjun did not reveal her emotions to He Yu. She said, I'm very warm to anyone.

He Yu quickly followed up with Yu Zhen's words and continued, Then, what about today's test of Pan Xiu's matter regarding Mu Yu?

Hearing He Yu's words, Yu Zhen squinted her eyes, You even got someone to watch Mu Yu?

He Yu calmly said, I was nearby and heard it. As you know, the soundproofing in the metal house is not that good. I also came over to see my friend from time to time.

Even if the sound wasn't good, they wouldn't be able to hear their conversation through the layer of metal. He Yu must have used some sort of method.

Yu Zhen did not care what this method was. He Yu had come to find her because he needed her help. At the very least, he wouldn't harm her for a short period of time.

From He Yu's words, Yu Zhenjun could determine that He Yu and Mu Yu were friends in the past. However, He Yu's tone was very clear and she was very dissatisfied with Mu Yu.

As for why they were acting against her now, that was not a question she should consider. In this world, kinship was nothing. For the sake of eating one bite, some men could sell their wives and daughters, let alone such insignificant friendships.

After a moment of silence, Yu Zhen replied, It seems that your relationship isn't very good.

He Yu pursed her lips and revealed her purpose: Mu Yu almost killed me.

With just one sentence, Yu Zhenjun understood and asked, You want me to help you deal with Mu Yu?

He Yu nodded, gritted her teeth and said, I want her to leave this base! After this is over, there will be benefits for you! Of course, it's fine if you don't agree. I can only tell you that you can't deal with her alone. She's already on her guard against you.

Yu Zhen frowned and asked, What do you mean?

Do you think Sunset Rain did not hear those words? He Yu disdainfully said, She has been listening to you talking to Pan Xiu outside the door. She only interrupted you when Pan Xiu wanted to tell her what happened to Mu Yu. She knows everything. "

Yu Zhen frowned and gritted her teeth.

Right now, she didn't have a reason not to believe He Yu because Sunset Rain had interrupted her when Pan Xiu wanted to tell her what Sunset Rain had been doing these past few days.

The other situation was that He Yu was lying to her. The truth was that Mu Yu didn't know about the matter of her probing Pan Xiu. However, when He Yu looked for a partner, there would definitely be a large number of people that would work with her and wouldn't be lacking one person.

Now that he had found her, he wouldn't lie to her.

Thinking up to here, Yu Zhenjun asked, Then now that she's on guard against me, how will she deal with her?

He Yu knew that Yu Zizhen's thoughts changed, so she tried to take it as she said helplessly, Of course it's us joining hands, you are also a smart person. But... If you just think that Mu Yu has too much of a limelight and want her to suffer, then forget it. Just pretend that what happened today never happened."

Yu Zhenjun lowered her head and looked at the cracked concrete floor.

Actually, He Yu's goal didn't conflict with hers. Back then, Yang Feng told her to come to the Rebirth Base so that he could drag Mu Yu over to his side.

From the looks of it, He Yu wanting to drive Mu Yu out of the Rebirth Base just happened to agree with her goal, and could form a win-win situation.

How about it, have you considered it? I'm busy. He Yu urged.

Yu Zhenjun glanced at He Yu. She knew she was just being sentimental, but working with He Yu now would definitely help her answer the mission faster. She agreed. Okay.

...

In Mu Yu's heart, he had always remembered one thing, and that was Chu Luo.

It had been half a year since the apocalypse, and summer was about to arrive. Chu Luo and her family had not received any news yet.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, when the two of them separated, she told Chu Luo to send her over to the Rebirth Base.

Obviously, Chu Luo hadn't come over.

Since the apocalypse was so big, she didn't have the time to look for people.

Sometimes, she would dream. Other than the strange sounds in her dreams, she would also dream of many strange faces.

What she cared about was that she would occasionally dream about Chu Luo being bitten by zombies.

It was a tragic sight.

Chu Luo stood amidst the corpses, blood flowing through his entire arm. On his face, there were bloody holes, and his clothes were covered in filth. She did it to save He Yu, to save her fellow survivors! However … She had been pushed into the corpse tide by He Yu.

There was no hate in her eyes as she spoke among the zombies, He Yu, I hate you, but I had no other choice. You used so much strength to push me, but I couldn't push you in the opposite direction. I just want to live. Heh, if my life can save so many people, then it would be worth it.

In the dream, He Yu's face was full of panic as he followed the other survivors and escaped the corpse, without a trace of guilt.

Everything quieted down.

Sunset Rain woke up from her sleep, the corners of her eyes somewhat moist.

Was this what happened in his previous life? She did not know that those things could no longer be verified.

In his previous life, He Yu had told her that Chu Luo had died to save them. Sunset Rain believed it.

But when she found out what kind of person He Yu was, she began to have doubts.

Dreams were born from the heart. Mu Yu could only hope that Chu Luo didn't die like this in his previous life.

Just like that, he was torn apart by dozens of zombies. In the end, even his bones were broken into pieces. This way of dying was too cruel.

Before the sky brightened, Sunset Rain activated her superpower at the tips of her fingers. Soon, a small flame was dancing on her index finger.

It had been more than ten days since she had filled the hole. More than half of her Discipline had been restored.

Those mutated cats still had not appeared.

Perhaps, those mutated cats would no longer appear at the base. But perhaps, it would still appear. A cat is a very patient animal.

After the apocalypse, she rarely encountered any mutated cats attacking the base.

However, in the 16 years of the apocalypse, the zombies under Order 86 could all learn from Sun Tzu's military strategy, or even the 36 plans, and attack from the east to the west to break the human morale.

A cat's patience was much greater than a zombie's. Even though it was only half a year after the apocalypse.

As the flames flickered, Sunset Rain was no longer sleepy.

She shook her head to clear it and went into the living room. Suddenly, a red dot flashed in her line of sight.

Sunset Rain's somewhat absent-minded mind instantly became clear-headed.

When he reached the bottom of the square table, he saw a high-tech object glowing.

Her first thought was that someone was watching her, watching her parents, watching the people who came to her house, watching everything about her!

This thing should be similar to stealing. It was unknown when the eavesdropping device had been placed under her square table.

Cold sweat appeared on Mu Yu's forehead. She didn't know when she was stolen. Did you hear that? As expected, he wasn't a thunder-attribute Adept. In this regard, he was no match for them.

Stole. There must have been more than one listener. Mu Yu searched the house, and found a total of six people behind the curtains and under the stools.

CHAPTER 105 - SU JIANG TAX COLLECTION

This was truly a huge amount of money. There were so many robberies. Listener?

It seemed that some of the higher ups were involved in this matter. After all, there were so many high-tech things in this world that ordinary people could not afford.

This was only Mu Yu's guess. Right now, this was the most likely situation to happen. It couldn't be ruled out that it was someone else.

Their purpose was still unclear. This was what troubled her the most. If she knew the purpose of the person who did these things, she would be prepared for it.

However, now that she had found the surveillance device, she believed that the other party wouldn't make any big movements in the near future. If the other side made a move in a short period of time, Mu Yu thought, she could find these people.

He stole the six items that he found. After confirming that there were no other surveillance equipment in the house, Sunset Rain returned to her bedroom.

He didn't really want to sleep, so he took the crystal from the cupboard and started practicing his Discipline.

Her Discipline was recovering too slowly. It could only be said that she had consumed too much of it this time.

Counting the time, it had been more than ten days since she'd absorbed the energy from the crystal core to practice her Discipline.

Now that her Discipline was back at the early Second Order, she should be able to practice it on a small scale.

Mu Yu didn't know how she fell asleep. When she woke up, the wooden bed was very messy, and beside the pillow was a bag of crystal cores.

The sun had already set.

What are you doing? Didn't I already give you guys rice?

Brother Yan said that he would give me half of it every month. Su Jiang's voice entered Mu Yu Mu's ears, and immediately after, he said in a disdainful tone, Just these meters? It's too little, isn't it? At the end of each month, we will come over and give you at least one kilogram of rice! Just this bit of meters is not enough to fill the gaps in our teeth!

That's right, isn't Mu Yu's superpower very powerful? It was impossible for them to only have a few meters left after completing their daily quest. Didn't the Mission Hall now have a new mechanism? The amount of crystal cores he had was equivalent to the amount of rice he could exchange for. Next month, I hope to see the rice we want. "

A man with a sharp mouth behind Su Jiang added.

In fact, the mechanism was one that was changing. Perhaps, it would change a mechanism every day.

And now, the reason why Mu Yu didn't change all the crystals into rice was only because she changed it to an appropriate amount of rice. At the very least, she wouldn't be hungry and could store some of it because she still had to practice her superpower.

In fact, many Adepts were willing to trade all of their hunted crystals for food. That way, their Discipline practice would become very slow.

Of course, these people might not even be able to use their crystal cores.

Many of the Adepts weren't even sure if they had a crystal in their dantian or in their head.

...

Seeing that those people were already starting to move rice, Mu Hongzhi suddenly charged forward and began to fight with that man.

Su Jiang had brought quite a few people this time. If Mu Hongzhi rushed forward like this, he would definitely suffer a loss.

The attacks of these people weren't serious at all.

Pan Xiu looked at these people, gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. Mu Hongzhi had already charged forward. There was no time for her to stop him!

Su Jiang stood at the very front and watched as the furious Mu Hongzhi rushed over.

When Mu Hongzhi was just half a step away from Su Jiang and was about to reach out his hand to hit him, Su Jiang's hand instantly petrified into a huge fist and smashed towards Mu Hongzhi's face.

His fist was made of stone, and coupled with Mu Hongzhi's fast speed, the damage he received would be even greater.

As long as he was hit, he wouldn't even have enough time to recover for a month.

Actually, Mu Hongzhi had already been at a disadvantage from the very beginning.

After all, Su Jiang was a rank 2 Adept, how could ordinary people compare to him?

Unsurprisingly, there was a bang sound from the room.

No, something wrong?

That was … Was it the sound of rocks shattering? Behind Su Jiang, the people who originally thought Mu Hongzhi was striking a rock with an egg all thought they heard wrong.

How is this possible? Su Jiang's stone hand cracked? But they had to believe what their eyes saw.

The situation changed very quickly, and Su Jiang didn't even have time to react. He looked at the stone in his hand that was shattered into pieces on the ground, and his eyes were filled with surprise.

A moment later, his fist began to bleed. It was as if he was seriously injured. A tearing pain spread throughout his body.

After a very long time, he held his fist, grimacing in pain as he tried his best not to scream.

If Mu Hongzhi had used his full strength to rush over, then his attack this time would have used his full strength as well. However, he never thought that his fist would be blocked by the water screen.

This curtain of water appeared very quickly, as though it had appeared out of thin air.

Water screen?

No, this was no longer a water screen, but a wall, a wall formed from water.

Su Jiang had seen this wall before. Not long ago, Mu Yu had mysteriously appeared next to a hole in Area F and defended the water wall of the Red Eyed Zombie.

The water wall actually had this kind of ability. It could even shatter his fist?

Mu Yu came out of her bedroom. Her bedroom door was covered by a piece of cloth. Last time, Lu Ling had broken it into pieces and hadn't repaired it. Not long after, Lu Ling brought over a piece of cloth.

When Su Jiang saw Mu Yu lifting up the curtain and walking out, he didn't hide the hatred in his eyes. He stared at Mu Yu and threatened, Mu Yu, let me tell you, I got injured here today. This matter won't end like this.

Then he ordered the people behind him: Go and move all the rice! Teach them a lesson!

It was the obvious pressure, the most common style of the apocalypse.

In other regions, this kind of thing happened quite frequently. In area F, D and E, there was not much difference. In area C, there was less, but not less.

To put it nicely, this was called collecting taxes.

The majority of the people who were collected by the teams were Adepts, but the rest weren't Awakened. The rest of the Adepts were Adepts, or Adepts or Adepts.

Obviously, there were few people like him in Area C, and Sunset Rain was one of them. As for the other districts, they only had ordinary people as their first target.

They didn't have superpowers. They only sold their labor to earn a mouthful of food. They didn't have the ability to fight them, which made them even more formidable.

Sunset Rain understood why the Adepts were being squeezed. It was only because the ordinary people at home could threaten the Adepts that the Adepts had no choice but to do what they were told. They didn't have to put in effort to get food.

As for dealing with the ordinary people from other districts, it was much easier and easier. With their Discipline, any threats they made would have them sell their labor for them.

Mu Yu didn't say anything and indicated for Mu Hongzhi to retreat to the back so that those people wouldn't take advantage of the moment that she wasn't paying attention to take action.

As Su Jiang endured the pain, he opened his mouth and stared at Mu Yu hatefully. Mu Yu unexpectedly found this scene a bit funny.

Under Su Jiang's orders, the ten plus people behind him started searching through boxes and cabinets.

Brother Jiang, there's a bag of crystal cores over there. It can be exchanged for quite a few meters. A man with a pointed mouth pushed aside the curtain in Mu Yu's bedroom, as if he had discovered a new continent.

CHAPTER 106 - WEIRD FLAME

When Su Jiang heard this, his eyes lit up, Tsk, tsk, so there's no rice. I hid all the crystal cores and took them away to exchange for rice for my brothers.

Alright, Brother Jiang!

The sharp-mouthed man had already walked in before Su Jiang gave the order. His hand had already touched the bag of crystal cores and he could already see the crystal cores.

However, his back suddenly felt hot.

The burning sensation of pain rose up in an instant. As he looked
