Xia Family.

The spacious and gorgeous villa was filled with elegant antiques. The luxurious flavor was faintly revealed.

“You mean, he didn’t react at all?” The middle-aged man at the head of the group stood straight and spoke loudly, but he could not help but frown slightly.

“Yes, yes!” Xia Yiwan echoed repeatedly, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. “I even deliberately brought this woman in front of him, but he turned around and left as if he didn’t see her.”

Pah! Ning Yiyuan was indifferent to such a beautiful woman in front of him. Was he really a man?

Thinking of this, Xia Yiwan could not help but curse in a low voice. He glanced at the woman standing next to him from the corner of his eyes. Her shabby clothes could not cover her snow-white skin and graceful figure. He thought of the amazing feeling of her skin just now, the dirty smile in the man’s eyes deepened. Thinking about it carefully, it was good that the boy was silly. Look, didn’t he leave such a beautiful woman to him?

“Uncle, look… this…” Although Xia Yiwan and Xia Gang were nephews, he was really afraid of this uncle who always had a gloomy face. Usually, when he saw him, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. At this moment, he hesitated for a long time before he said neatly, “This woman is useless. Why don’t you let me play with her?”

“Is that all you think about?!!” Xia Gang could not help but glare at him and glanced at the woman next to him. “Alright, since you can’t use her to win over Ning Yiyuan, you can have her.”

“Ah.” Upon hearing this, Xia Yiwan immediately forced a big smile on his face. “Thank you, Uncle!”

Then, he turned his head and stared at the woman with unscrupulous eyes, he was thinking about how to have fun tonight!

In just a few words, he had decided a woman’s future.

“Dad, isn’t he just a wind-element master? Why spend so much money to recruit him?” The young man sitting next to him had been silent all this time. Now, he spoke angrily. In the beginning, he had planned to let Ning Yiyuan marry his sister, but now, he was thinking of ways to get people to join him. Was he not just a wind-powered man? Was there a shortage of people?

“What do you know?” Xia Gang glanced at his son, his eyes filled with disappointment. “The situation is tense now. Every base is trying to recruit talents in order to expand their power and strengthen their base. Tell me, can we relax now? Besides, is Ning Yiyuan an ordinary special ability user?”

Xia Gang’s face darkened when he thought about how Ning Yiyuan had forced back nearly 1,000 zombies with a single move. This man was like a double-edged sword. If he used it well, it would be a sharp weapon. If he did not use it well, he might even make them bleed!

“Yes, I understand.” Hearing her father’s high evaluation of Ning Yiyuan, Xia Chen’s face darkened even more. A hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes as she asked, “So, what happened between him and my sister… does it still count?”

Hearing this, Xia Gang could not help but ponder. After a long while, he said, “I heard that he has found his fiancée?”

“Yes, yes!” Xia Yiwan finally interjected. He hurriedly told him all the news he had received.

“This matter has spread throughout the base. It is said that Ning Yiyuan is very fond of his fiancée. He will give her whatever she wants. I glanced at her before. She is indeed not bad-looking. She is delicate and well-behaved, especially that pure temperament. She looks very tempting…” Xia Yiwan looked like he was possessed by lust, which made Xia Gang frown.

“That’s enough!” Xia Gang glared at his nephew and waved at him. “I got it. You can go out first.”

“Ah,” Xia Yiwan nodded. “Then this woman…”

His restless eyes kept glancing at the woman beside him.

“You! Alright, let’s take her out together.” Xia Gang shook his head helplessly, after Xia Yiwan walked out, his expression froze and he turned to look at Xia Chen. “Let’s put aside the matter of Xiao Yi and Ning Yiyuan for now. The most important thing now is, is the news you received earlier true?”

“Absolutely true!” Xia Chen’s expression turned serious at the mention of this question. “It’s just that the journey is too far. Even if there’s nothing on the way, it’ll probably take more than a week to come back.”

Not long ago, Xia Chen had intercepted an important piece of information from the communications of the other bases — there was a large-scale food processing factory in Anyuan Town. The food inside could fill up at least a few workshops, and more importantly, it was said that there was a secret military depot hidden in the mountains behind Anyuan Town!

A large amount of food, weapons… These two things were a great temptation to any base! Most importantly, compared to other bases, Alberto City Base was the closest to Anyuan Town and had the most favorable conditions!

“Dad, What are you waiting for? If you miss this opportunity, you’ll definitely regret it in the future!” Xia Chen took a few steps forward, his eyes filled with eagerness. As long as he got that batch of food and weapons, the base’s strength would definitely increase greatly, by then, they would be able to have a stronger voice.

“But, the road to Anyuan Town isn’t peaceful…” Xia Gang frowned and hesitated. Not to mention the zombies on the road, Anyuan town itself was a scenic spot in the ancient town. Usually, the tourists there were almost shoulder to shoulder with each other. But now… all of them were probably zombies!

“What’s there to worry about?” Xia Chen’s eyes flashed, and his tone carried a hint of viciousness, “Isn’t Ning Yiyuan capable? Let him be the vanguard! It’s fine if he can get the thing back, but if he accidentally dies outside, it won’t be a pity. Anyway, what’s the use of keeping the people who can’t be recruited by us?”

Xia Gang was silent for a long time, and finally nodded. “Okay, we’ll do as you say. Besides Ning Yiyuan, we still need to add a few other teams. After all, this mission isn’t easy. If we can complete it as soon as possible, then do it as soon as possible!”

“Alright, I got it.” After getting Xia Gang’s approval, Xia Chen could not help but smile, revealing a bright and charming smile.

His efficiency was very high. That afternoon, he had released this mission.

“How is it? Are you alright? Ning Yiyuan?” Xia Chen looked down at the man at the front, his tone slightly provocative.

He was also a wind-attribute user, so he was quite powerful. In addition, he was the son of the head of the base. Before Ning Yiyuan appeared, he was in the limelight, and his aura was extraordinary.

However, that glorious history was instantly destroyed after Ning Yiyuan appeared. Not only did the people of the base put all their praise on Ning Yiyuan, but even his father, who used to be proud of him, also thought of this. The smile on Xia Chen’s lips became even brighter.

Ning Yiyuan lowered his head and carefully read through the entire mission. He frowned slightly and did not reply.

“Why, do you feel that it’s difficult?” Faced with Ning Yiyuan’s silence, Xia Chen appeared very pleased. He raised his eyebrows slightly and his tone was filled with ridicule, “It shouldn’t be! You’re the legend of our base. Why would it be difficult? Besides, your residence and privileges aren’t for nothing. You have to give something in return!”

“Do you have food and weapons?” Ning Yiyuan did not mind Xia Chen’s provocation and raised his head slightly to ask.

He was clearly below them, but the aura that erupted from him always made people unconsciously look at him. It was as if he was born with some kind of strange charm.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone looked at Ning Yiyuan and could not take their eyes off him.

Xia Chen naturally noticed this as well. He clenched his fists tightly under his sleeves, but his tone was still calm. “Of course, we will provide food for each person for 20 days. We also have weapons, but the quantity is limited.”

“This is too little!” Lan Wei’s Hunters team was also participating in this mission. When she heard this, she could not help but frown and protest, “This mission alone will take nearly ten days to complete. You only gave us 20 days of food. It’s not enough!”

“Humph!” Xia Chen snorted and glanced at them. His voice was slightly deep, “Don’t you see how many people you have on this mission? Each of you provided 20 days of food. This is not a small amount! Besides, when you enter the food processing factory, are you afraid that you won’t have anything to eat on the way back?”

“Also,” Xia Chen added in the end, successfully arousing everyone’s excitement and curiosity. “The base will give you 10% of the food we bring back this time.”

Although this 10% might not sound like much, it was a food processing factory! They already had the mind to calculate flexibly. According to the worst-case scenario, even if there was only one workshop left in this food processing factory, according to the 10% calculation, they would still be able to get quite a lot. At least they would not have to worry about food for another one or two years!

Thinking of this, everyone could not help but get excited. Of course, they would go! How could they not go?

This was a very worthwhile deal! Although the journey would definitely be fraught with danger, who would not be living their lives with their heads on their belts these days?

“If everyone has thought it through, come over and sign your names.” Looking at everyone’s expressions, the smile in Xia Chen’s eyes deepened. He reached out and placed a blank list on the table. “We can count the number of people and distribute the supplies.”

Once these words were said, everyone swarmed forward! Even Lan Wei’s group thought for a moment before walking forward and signing their names.

Only Ning Yiyuan was still standing in the same spot. After thinking for a long while, he spoke indifferently. “Can I bring another person?”

He did not plan to leave Little Chu alone in the base. It was the safest to leave him under his nose.

“Oh, you want to bring another person?” Xia Chen could not help but raise his eyebrows. “It’s your fiancée, right? You’re really as protective as the rumors say!”

Meeting Ning Yiyuan’s calm eyes, Xia Chen was silent for a moment. Then, he suddenly smiled brightly. “Of course, but I’m afraid your fiancée won’t be able to serve as a combat force. Naturally, we can’t give her the food for the next 20 days. Otherwise, how can we convince the public?”

“I can make up for it myself,” Ning Yiyuan said immediately.

“Haha, really? Then there won’t be any problem,” Xia Chen spread out his hands, the meaning of his words was very obvious. “Since you’re willing to do this, we naturally won’t interfere. However, I only hope that your fiancée won’t cause any trouble for everyone. After all, this mission isn’t easy.”

That’s right!

If an ordinary woman saw a zombie, she would probably scream and be afraid. The vicious cycle that would follow would be that the screams would attract more zombies, eventually harming others and herself.

“Tch! This is a mission. Why bring a woman? Are you afraid of sleeping alone? Just find one on on the way…” A member of the White Tiger team whispered beside him, looking at Ning Yiyuan’s back, a trace of disdain flashed through his eyes. It seemed that this guy was just an empty shell. At this time, all he can think about is women. How capable could he be?

Soon, the man’s words were stuck in his throat!

He did not know when Ning Yiyuan turned around. At this moment, the look in his eyes was so gloomy that it was as if he was going to tear him apart. The man could not help but take a step back, lower his head, and give a cold shiver!

“Yeah!” The voice of the team member was not soft, so the others could hear it clearly. Many people echoed, “What’s the use of bringing a woman who looks like a burden on such a dangerous mission?”

“That’s right. What else can they do besides screaming?”

“Don’t drag a group of people down. Let’s just leave her in the base!”

Although most of them admired Ning Yiyuan’s strength, when it came to their own safety and interests, none of them were willing to take a step back. They started to protest one after another, and their words were extremely righteous!

Seeing this scene, the smile on Xia Chen’s face became even wider! He looked at Ning Yiyuan provocatively. Do you want to take her anyway? Unfortunately… I just won’t let you get what you want!
