In the apocalypse, you start with two knives, and all your equipment depends on drops.

Chapter 190 Linjiang Base

This time, Yu Yao did not repeat the previous situation. She quickly calmed down and began to absorb the crystal core while meditating and cultivating.

In the middle of the night, she went to refine another batch of pills and weapons in preparation for opening the shop later.

He didn't fall into a deep sleep until dawn.

......

The next day at noon, Yu Yao woke up and left the space, riding her mount to the neighboring city.

He then took out three more fragments to sense if there were any fragments nearby.

Still nothing.

After that, she traveled to almost all of the southern regions, but found no trace of the fragments.

Seeing that they were getting close to Rongcheng, where Ji Yanye and Ye Ang were, Yu Yao immediately decided to go and take a look.

Since we're already here, a little extra time won't make a difference.

......

When she arrived, the Linjiang base was experiencing a zombie horde and a beast horde.

A level-four psychic zombie is controlling thousands of zombies and mutated beasts, fiercely attacking the base's walls.

Ji Yan and Ye Ziang were leading their men in a fierce resistance on the city wall.

Thanks to the abundance of ice-type zombies during the extreme cold period, Ji Yan's leveling speed was not slow, and he is now a late-stage level three ability user.

However, it was still somewhat inadequate against level four zombies.

When Ye Ziang was attacked in the brain by the level four mental zombie and almost fell off the city wall, Ye Ziang reacted quickly and grabbed him.

As they pulled him up, another level-three late-stage zombie unleashed a golden blade, swiftly slashing at Ye Ziang, who was only at the early-stage level three, leaving him almost no chance to dodge.

Fortunately, Ling Xipei shielded him from it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he had already dragged Ji Yan onto the city wall.

When Yu Yao arrived and saw the arrogant Level 4 zombie, she smiled faintly.

I never expected such a pleasant surprise during my trip to Rongcheng.

I'll take your crystal core and experience!

Her shamelessness has now skyrocketed, and she no longer rejects flashy flying mounts, directly riding a golden eagle into the air.

She raised her hand and activated the Silent Moon Killing Formation. Dozens of talismans appeared simultaneously, swirling and dancing around her.

Ji Yan and Ye Ziang on the city wall saw him and their eyes lit up.

"Yu Yao!"

Yu Yao turned around and smiled at the two of them, slightly raising her chin.

He then turned around, and the talismans around him suddenly transformed into arrays that rushed towards the zombie horde and the level four mental zombie.

......

A few minutes later, the level four zombie was quickly blown to death by Yu Yao's targeted attack.

He also gave Yu Yao a small pendant that could be used in conjunction with the "Soul Condensation Technique" to assist in cultivating spiritual power.

Afterwards, Yu Yao and the other ability users from the Linjiang base worked together to kill all the remaining zombies and mutated beasts.

Thanks to Yu Yao's miraculous intervention, the Linjiang base suffered minimal losses, and Yu Yao herself made a fortune.

......

She clapped her hands, jumped down from the city wall, and greeted Ji Yan and Ye Ziang who were running over quickly.

"Long time no see~"

"Why are you here?" Ji Yan asked Yu Yao softly.

"Just passing by to take a look."

Ye Ziang laughed and said, "You came all this way just to see us?"

Yu Yao raised an eyebrow, "Is that not allowed?"

"Of course! I'm so happy you still remember us!"

After saying that, Ye Ziang looked behind Yu Yao and asked, "Where are your teammates?"

“At the base, I did some things on my own.”

Ye Ziang joked, "I thought you had abandoned them."

Yu Yao smiled too, "I can't bear to part with it."

Ji Yan lowered his eyes and said to Ye Ziang, "Take Yu Yao back to the base to rest for a while. It's too cold outside. I'll come find you after I finish cleaning up the mess outside."

Ye Ziang said, "You go ahead, I'll take care of things here."

"Need not."

Yu Yao blinked. "You can go about your business. I'm just here to check on things. Don't worry about me."

Ye Ziang disagreed, saying, "That won't do. You've come all this way, how can we not treat you well? Let's go and take a look at the base."

After saying that, he was about to take Yu Yao down the city wall.

Yu Yao didn't refuse again. She greeted Ji Yan and left with him.

......

At Qianpo Mountain, Chi Heng, who was talking to Dongfang Jin, suddenly froze.

A few moments later, he looked at Luo Mei, who was sitting not far away playing a video game.

"Sixth Sister, Seventh Sister probably won't be able to take good care of herself outside. Go and keep her company."

Luo Mei launched herself into the air.

"Really? You're letting me go? Didn't you tell me not to bother Ayao???"

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Luo Mei: "???"

Dongfang Jin could tell what Chi Heng was bothered by simply sensing Yu Yao's location.

So he smiled and said to Luo Mei, "Alright~ Go on, or he might change his mind again."

Luo Mei chuckled.

"It's too late for him to change his mind. He's already said it, so he can't change his mind now! Hmm... Ah Yao went to Rongcheng, and aren't Ji Yan and Ye Zi'ang there? Alright, alright, I haven't seen those two kids in a while. See you later, you two!"

When Luo Mei's crisp voice faded, she had already disappeared.

Dongfang Jin looked in the direction she disappeared and shook his head helplessly.

Seeing Chi Heng's downcast and silent appearance, Dongfang Jin felt even more helpless.

What is this called?

Did a single confession lead to a lifetime of introversion?

He certainly wouldn't have thought of that.

Not once, but twice.

“I’m telling you, you don’t need to be so careful. Xiao Qi isn’t a heartless person. If you’re sincere, you’ll eventually win her over.”

“But she said… she doesn’t want to find a romantic partner within the team unless she leaves.” Chi Heng’s lowered eyes grew even darker, and his long eyelashes trembled incessantly.

"I can't accept her leaving even more than her not accepting me."

These words struck a nerve with Dongfang Jin, and her expression gradually darkened.

There was a time when this was also a concern in his heart...

"People can change. Maybe after a while she'll realize how good you are and change her mind?"

Chi Heng shook his head. "It doesn't matter. Whether she changes her mind or not is irrelevant. As long as she's happy and at ease, that's all that matters."

"Not important?" Dongfang Jin retorted. "Then why did you send Xiao Liu to find her? Wasn't it because you were afraid she would be snatched away by that kid named Ji Yan?"

"I'm just afraid that Xiaoqi will be moved by him and choose to team up with them, that's all."

After all, if they hadn't arrived in time, it's uncertain who would have become Yu Yao's teammate!

"Oh, is it so?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, okay, whatever you say."
