The four endured the nausea, watching the man in black feed the sheep. After a long while, they chose a relatively strong one to drag away.
The sheep didn't resist, simply opening its mouth to be fed. It was then that Xu Qian understood why it could bite zombies.
Its mouth wasn't filled with neat white teeth, but rather two rows of sharp fangs. A bite from it would likely tear off both skin and flesh.
The man in black stuffed something into its mouth, and the sheep obediently followed behind them.
The four quickly followed, thinking the base was nearby. In reality, it was quite far.
They crossed at least three mountain ridges and walked for more than half a day, yet they still hadn't stopped.
Fearing discovery, the four dared not follow too closely.
Xu Qian, however, kept track of their location on her map, to avoid getting lost and to guard against ambushes.
Suddenly, Xu Qian's eyes narrowed. A group of small green figures darted in from the right, charging towards Xie Ya Yun and the other woman.
She immediately activated her communicator and shouted, "Run towards me! Someone's coming to capture you!"
No wonder they had traveled so far; there was an ambush.
Both women were powerful. Since they had been exposed, there was no need to hide. They quickly ran in the opposite direction.
They did not follow Xu Qian's instruction to run towards her.
Xu Qian had finally found Base R and couldn't abandon it for them.
Xu Qian's expression turned grim as she watched a group of men in black rush past.
Another group of men in black continued forward without stopping.
Xu Qian was caught in a dilemma: pursue the base, or rescue her companions?
"Ding, Host, you don't need to worry. Those two are by no means ordinary. In your previous life, you died, but they were still alive."
Xu Qian: "..."
Honestly, there was no need to be so blunt.
With the system's assurance, Xu Qian chose to continue following the men in black. Not long after, the path ahead was blocked.
It was a yellowish-white stone wall on a high mountain.
One of the men in black swiped a card on a rock. The stone wall trembled and opened.
Xu Qian did not act rashly. She waited until they had been inside for nearly half an hour before making her move.
Suddenly, a shout echoed.
"Let go of me! Let go of me!!"
Xu Qian furrowed her brow. Wasn't that Yi Chun's voice?
Dozens of people surrounded a beautiful woman, carrying her towards them. The woman shouted loudly, but it had no effect on them.
"System! Didn't you say they were not ordinary?"
Xu Qian seriously suspected the system was spouting nonsense.
"Ding, Host, I did not lie to you. She will be fine. Yi Chun is a top-tier power-type ability user plus a speed-type ability user. If she wanted to escape, she could do so at any time. She might want to stay to help you."
Xu Qian's eyes widened slightly. She had never asked Yi Chun about her abilities. Although her abilities were ordinary, they were the most practical for fighting and escaping.
The group dragged her into a cave. They also swiped a card on the stone, and the door automatically opened.
Suddenly, Xie Ya Yun's voice came through Xu Qian's earpiece.
"Xiao Qian, where are you?"
Xu Qian's eyes lit up, and she whispered, "We are right opposite where you were discovered earlier."
"Okay, wait for me."
Soon, Xie Ya Yun ran over and handed her a golden card.
Earlier, she and Yi Chun had escaped together. With their abilities, dealing with them would have been self-humiliating.
While running, the two devised a clever plan. Yi Chun pretended to be captured to infiltrate the group, while Xie Ya Yun followed to gather information.
Indeed, she had grasped the key point.
