The middle-aged man's expression stiffened, but he wasn't overly surprised.
He glanced at them cautiously and said, "These people have fragile minds, Li Yang, drag them away quickly."
Li Yang, his face expressionless, grabbed the woman's fair arms and dragged her away like she was livestock.
It seemed to him that this woman was not human, but an ordinary cat or dog.
The expressions of the group were grim.
The middle-aged man forced a smile and said, "These things happen every day, we're all used to it. After all, it's the apocalypse, everyone understands, who can endure it."
Xu Qian's eyes swept over the woman's body. Her bare back and legs bore multiple red marks on the outer arms and healed cigarette burns. There was a large red burn mark on the right side of her face, clearly indicating she had been abused to death.
Her heart skipped a beat. It seemed that Feiteng Base had already begun its descent, a phenomenon common to every base.
Abuse and violation of women.
It was just a matter of severity. If a woman had no special abilities, she was generally weaker than men.
Smaller bases would specifically send men out to capture women, and upon bringing them back, they would be subjected to torment by the men in the base.
Those who couldn't bear it would jump off buildings, or suicide was also commonplace.
She hoped Hope Base, being a legitimate base, wasn't as rampant as those smaller ones.
They provided women without abilities with a choice, essentially a job, with fixed points awarded daily.
The middle-aged man led the four into an office. The interior was simply furnished, likely a relic from before.
There was only a simple desk and a brown sofa.
"Please have a seat and wait a moment, I'll go and call the boss. He'll be here soon."
"Little brother, make some tea for our guests."
After giving instructions, the middle-aged man smiled at the group and turned to leave the office.
The man walked to the spot where the woman had just jumped, and a door was just a little further ahead.
The pool of blood on the ground had not yet been cleaned.
The middle-aged man spat on the bloodstain.
"Bad luck."
Ascending to the second floor, he raised his hand and knocked on a door.
"Boss. Boss."
A woman's soft hum came from inside.
"Come in~"
The middle-aged man cautiously pushed open the door, and a strong fragrance immediately wafted out.
He took a deep breath and peered inside.
There was a massive bed, about 5 meters wide, upon which five beauties lay intertwined.
The bed was still shaking violently.
The man swallowed, indeed, the boss here had the best.
Li Ping said in a hoarse voice, "What is it, Xiao Lin?"
The man said submissively, "Boss, people from Hope Base have arrived."
"Uh, make them wait! Xiao Lin, come here."
"Yes, boss."
Xu Qian leaned back on the sofa, closing her eyes to rest, but in reality, she was checking her side quests.
This information was about a laboratory researching zombies.
The location was with the boss of Feiteng Base, Li Ping.
Why did the system want her to find laboratory materials?
"Ding, just do as the system instructs."
Fine, why think so much, just do the mission.
An hour later.
The two military officers began to grow impatient.
"When will your boss arrive?"
The subordinate's face paled slightly, "Uh, I'll go and ask."
"I apologize, everyone, there was a minor emergency."
Li Ping looked presentable, dressed in a black suit, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs.
Beneath his long, slitted phoenix eyes, a beauty mark sat, and those eyes slithered over everyone like a snake, making those caught by his gaze feel a chill.
His gaze lingered on Xu Qian and Mei Yuebai for a moment before quickly moving away.
Xu Qian's expression was slightly solemn. There were no thoughts emanating from his mind.
This was impossible; everyone had some thoughts, but this man's mind was utterly silent.
Could he be a Level Three ability user?
