White bats flew low around the base, seemingly judging their location.
Xiang Jintian's eyes darkened, and she quickly shook Xu Qian awake.
"Qianqian."
"Qianqian."
Xu Qian was still groggy, blinking as she asked, "What's wrong?"
"The white bats are chasing us."
Xu Qian's muddled head immediately cleared.
"They've tracked us here?"
Xiang Jintian's expression was grave, and she said in a deep voice, "Yes, it's been hovering low around the base, likely looking for us."
Her guess was right, it did have a very sensitive sense of smell.
Xu Qian pondered for a moment and said, "There are many people here. It's safer for us to stay. We also sprayed perfume, so they won't recognize us so quickly."
If they left now, it would be even more obvious.
Xiang Jintian agreed.
"Jintian, I want to eat the tomato beef noodles you cooked."
Xiang Jintian's expression relaxed, and she smiled dotingly, "I'll cook it for you!"
Jun Jun Base.
The middle-aged man paced back and forth in the house, agitated, not a moment's peace.
The woman beside him, dressed in vibrant clothes, was getting dizzy from the movement.
"Cao Jun! Stop pacing! You're making me dizzy!"
Cao Jun's face was filled with annoyance, and he roared, "Xia Ying, don't you know what's important? There's a bat outside!"
Xia Ying raised her delicate eyebrows and said carelessly, "Just shoot it down, why are you so nervous?"
Cao Jun grabbed her and walked to the balcony, pointing at the sky. "Look, can we shoot this down?"
The bat happened to fly past the roof, its enormous shadow almost covering the entire house.
In that instant, day turned into night.
The woman was so scared she couldn't speak, turning and throwing herself into the man's arms, trembling slightly.
Cao Jun patted her head and said softly, "Little Ying, do you know you were wrong?"
The woman obstinately turned her head away. "Then what do we do now?"
Cao Jun sighed and held the woman in his arms.
"Let's make military preparations first and don't provoke it for now."
Xia Ying gave a soft hum.
Suddenly, a shout came.
"Boss, Boss!! That bat is spraying venom!"
Cao Jun's face changed, and he released the woman in his arms to go meet them.
"What's going on? Tell me in detail."
The subordinate panted heavily and said urgently, "It was flying fine just now, and then it suddenly sprayed venom downwards. Fortunately, everyone had already hidden inside the houses, and no one was injured!"
"The venom is highly corrosive! Our entire floor is gone!"
A trace of solemnity flashed in Cao Jun's eyes. If these liquids dripped onto a person...
Wouldn't they instantly turn into a puddle of water?
They couldn't just hide anymore!
"Pan Si, are the military deployments ready?"
Pan Si immediately nodded. "They are ready. With your command, we'll launch an attack."
Cao Jun turned back and instructed, "Xia Ying, you stay inside the house and don't come out. Be careful yourself."
The woman's eyes were red. She said softly, "Cao Jun, be careful. If you get hurt, come back immediately, and I'll treat you."
The man petted her small head and said gently, "Don't worry."
After the man left, the woman's entire demeanor changed drastically, from a pure "little white flower" to a vicious old witch.
Xia Ying's lips curved into a faint smile, and she turned to lean on the sofa, closing her eyes slightly.
Die quickly, Jun Jun Base will soon be hers, Bai Ruo's.
Yes, Xia Ying was Bai Ruo!
Six months ago, Li Ping had driven out all the ability users who hadn't upgraded to level three, forcing them to find another way out.
How could Bai Ruo be willing!
She had been pampered and doted on in Feiteng and had developed a spoiled disposition, insisting on staying.
But Li Ping was not a person to be reasoned with.
In the end, she was still driven out.
Ever since Xu Qian had visited, Li Ping had changed! He started to manage the base's rules and regulations.
She also started to feel restricted.
If it weren't for Xu Qian! She wouldn't have been driven out of Feiteng! She had even changed her name and surname to barely hook up with a man from a small base.
