Xingchen stared intently at the motionless green eyes on the ground. His mind couldn’t help but recall the time when he was almost frozen to death, and it was this very green-eyed creature that saved him by using its body heat.

The green eyes had become the closest being to him in this world, but now, it was gone. The pain was intense, and even breathing began to feel difficult. After a long while, he slowly crouched down, reaching out to touch the now completely stiff body of the green-eyed creature.

Its once soft fur had become sharp, and as he touched the base of the fur, feeling its temperature, Xingchen, who was usually calm and detached, gradually felt his eyes redden. Tears filled his peach blossom-shaped eyes before they slid down his face.

“Xingchen.” Yinxin, knowing the bond between Xingchen and the green-eyed creature, saw his expression and felt a pang of sympathy.

But in comparison to the death of the green-eyed creature, she was more concerned. It had fought and killed its way through thousands of zombie hordes and a pack of zombie wolves that had developed intelligence, and then withdrew without a scratch. Whether it was strength or intellect, this creature was certainly no simple being.

Such an existence would definitely be a lethal threat to the organization.

Xingchen, hearing Yinxin’s call, felt as if it came from across a vast space, and he couldn’t say a word. He didn’t know how long it took, but by the time he felt that his blood had stopped circulating and his body began to warm up, he finally came back to his senses.

“How are you?” Yinxin, startled by his soul-stirring silence, asked in alarm.

Seeing the familiar face so close, Xingchen barely managed to force a smile. He then turned his gaze to the green-eyed creature on the ground, standing up to carefully inspect it.

The green-eyed creature only had a few non-fatal skin wounds, as if it had been attacked by its own kind. This wasn’t surprising, as the zombie wolf pack didn’t start with over forty wolves. It was the green-eyed creature that had constantly led the wolf pack on a migratory path, causing the number of mutated zombie wolves to grow.

No fatal wounds meant the attack had been from the inside out. Among all the mutant abilities, only psychic abilities can attack from within, and it had to be an offensive psychic power.

Looking around at the piles of zombies, each with its crystal core obviously taken, he realized this was the method of attack used by mutated plants, and it wasn’t from just one mutated plant.

He had already guessed the identity of the one who struck. Aside from the wolf pack, the other person here could only be Nan Muran, the only powerful psychic he had encountered since the apocalypse.

After the incident at the Lan City Safe Base, Jin Tailin had been rescued back to the Divine Killing Base.

When he returned, the first request he made was for the organization to capture Nan Muran and her group, and bring them back to the lab for study.

But after hearing his story, the so-called top-tier organization, Divine Killing, didn’t care about these people at all. They even dismissed them as mere clowns in the apocalypse.

Now, it seemed, if those people were clowns, then Divine Killing was the biggest fool in the world.

“Xingchen, have you figured out who did this?” Yinxin asked, noticing his furrowed brow and deep thoughts.

Xingchen looked up, his gaze hollow and emotionless. His tone was cold: “What you should be concerned about is that the green-eyed creature is gone, and the zombie wolf pack has been completely wiped out.”

“With just these foolish zombies, how are we going to attack the Lan City Safe Base?”

Yinxin looked at him with a calmness bordering on indifference, and couldn’t help but sigh silently before expressing her true thoughts: “Without the zombie wolves, these mindless zombies pose no threat to the Lan City Safe Base now.”

“We can just return to the city.”

Hearing this, Xingchen froze. When did the Lan City Safe Base become stronger?

It seemed like Yinxin knew his thoughts, and she continued: “After Chen Shuhan’s failed mission to collect mutated fruit trees, Zhou Ling persuaded Lin Lao to bring the WJ unit to reinforce the outer defense of the Lan City Safe Base.”

“And that Liu Mei, she moved the Eternal Night Hotel outside the Lan City Safe Base.”

“Liu Mei brought the Eternal Night Hotel?” Xingchen thought about the Divine Killing organization’s order.

Weren’t they supposed to find a way to bring her back to the organization? But instead of bringing her in, they allowed her to settle outside the Lan City Safe Base.

Yinxin nodded. “The lab said that the Eternal Night Hotel and Liu Mei have a symbiotic relationship. If we force her, she might lose control, and everything we want will slip away.”

Xingchen sneered. The Divine Killing organization had lost three psychic experts at the Eternal Night Hotel. Now, instead of seeking revenge, they were trying to negotiate with the woman for their own benefit.

It was laughable.

“Don’t think too much. The situation has changed. We need to report back as soon as possible,” Yinxin glanced at the surrounding dense zombie horde, frowning. Without the control of the zombie wolves, these zombies had lost their combat value.

It looked like they needed to quickly find new zombies that could be trained.

Meanwhile, in the RV, Nan Muran’s expression changed. “They’ve already left.”

When Xingchen and Yinxin arrived, Nan Muran, Si Ye, and the wolf pack had stopped about 1.5 kilometers west. This was also the limit of Nan Muran’s psychic ability to scout.

Thus, everything Xingchen and Yinxin discussed was heard by Nan Muran.

Upon hearing her words, Si Ye restarted the RV. “Even if the situation has changed and they’ve given up on attacking the Lan City Safe Base, they will definitely find another opportunity later.”

“What I’m curious about is why they chose to attack such a large human safe base.”

Of course, Nan Muran couldn’t understand this either.

“Let’s head back first, tell Commander Chen and see if they have any thoughts on it,” Nan Muran said pragmatically. She wouldn’t waste energy on unnecessary worries, so she wasn’t bothered by it.

She stood up and crossed into the driver’s cabin to head to the rear of the RV.

Since the apocalypse began, she had always thought her revenge was aimed at an underground laboratory with powerful connections.

But at this moment, she suddenly realized that behind the underground laboratory stood a massive entity. If she wanted to uproot it, she had to be cautious and plan carefully.

Si Ye also realized this and knew they couldn’t act recklessly. “Alright, I’ll go directly to find Commander Chen.”

When Nan Muran finally relaxed and lay on the bed in the back of the RV, she saw the sixteen wolves behind Xuan Yue. Among them, there were old, weak, sick, and injured wolves, but all were well cared for. Some of them seemed to have even sustained light injuries.

Two wolves, in particular, stared at her with wide eyes, unblinking. One had pure white fur, just like Xuan Yue, while the other had a mix of gray and white fur.
