"Alright, we’ll go tomorrow!"

Qin Yuan and the Water Python kept chattering in Bai Xiqin’s ear, making her feel like there were a lot of bees buzzing around her.

"Yay! Master is truly the most beautiful master in the world!"

Qin Yuan chuckled lecherously, feeling that he had won this opportunity to go out through his linguistic charm.

It’s really nice in the space, with food and drink, abundant spiritual energy, and you can watch TV every day.

However, they believed that fighting side by side with their master was the best kind of life.

Whoever got summoned by the master would come back and show off for half a day.

Among them, the Water Python showed off the most, while Qin Yuan and Taowu, though silent, were quite envious in their hearts.

"Gululu——"

Just as the three little beasts had quieted down, Bai Xiqin heard the sound of purring and turned her head to see the little white cat.

It had somehow climbed onto Bai Yifan’s shoulder, and Bai Yifan reached out to stroke the little white cat’s smooth fur.

The little white cat contentedly perched on Bai Yifan’s shoulder, its throat emitting a leisurely purring sound.

It truly liked Bai Yifan very much.

Every time Bai Yifan entered the space, it would cozy up with him.

Bai Xiqin was very envious of this.

Looking at Bai Yifan, then at her own, she fully realized how pleasant it was to have a little beast that couldn’t talk.

Wait a minute, can’t talk?

Bai Xiqin suddenly thought of the Mutated Giant Python, that guy couldn’t talk either.

Bai Xiqin looked at the Mutated Giant Python; it was coiled into a huge ball, and the greenish patterns on its body looked quite formidable.

Even though it had no hostility, it still exuded a cold pressure.

Bai Xiqin calmly placed her hand on the body of the Mutated Giant Python, intending to experience the joy of petting it.

Upon touch, it felt like she was touching a zombie’s corpse.

Cold and chilly.

Bai Xiqin: ...

Forget it, she’s not destined for this!

After the Bai Family finished their meal in the space and rested for a while, they threw themselves into the busy joy of harvesting.

After sowing crops that were hard to control with spiritual power, they began to build new iron warehouses.

There were no empty warehouses left; they were all filled with grains, fruits, and vegetables!

A day quickly passed by.

When the Bai Family exited the space, it was already dark outside.

What puzzled the Bai Family was that the Base Commander hadn’t come to join them for dinner today.

At this time, the Base Commander would usually come for a meal, watching his son while doing so.

The Bai Family thought it might be related to the matter discussed over the radio about the Human Alliance’s deputy leader, so they ate and went to sleep.

The Bai Family could not have imagined that the Base Commander was in deep agony at that moment.

Yunhua Safety Base was quiet at night, and the survivors, after a day and night of frantically gathering Crystal Cores, had fallen into a deep slumber.

In the safety base, as before, the electricity seemed to be free, with lights shining everywhere.

Aside from the occasional patrol by teams of Superpower Users in the base, there was no one else.

The stars in the sky weren’t drowned out by the bright lights, appearing so close, as if reachable with an outstretched hand.

A tall, upright figure appeared in the base building. Perhaps the superpower was too strong, as time hadn’t left particularly deep marks on his face.

Mature and steady.

The Base Commander was over forty, yet looked like a man just over thirty. Standing next to Leng Yebai, one might mistakenly think they were brothers.

The Base Commander’s mature face looked no different from before, but his eyes unmistakably held a trace of melancholy.

Near the base building, the Base Commander pushed open a door and entered a secluded place.

The lighting here wasn’t bright; the faint yellow light made it seem much cozier.

This was the villa where the Base Commander used to live with his wife.

Half of the yard was clean, while the other half still had a gray dust, the ashes of zombies carried over by the wind.

The Base Commander casually picked up a broom and continued to sweep away the ashes on the ground.

Swish, swish, swish——

The friction sound between the broom and the ground was particularly noticeable in the dark night.

The Base Commander swept very carefully, leaving no corner untouched.

In places where the broom couldn’t reach, he would crouch down, not caring about his image, using his hands to scoop out and clean the ashes on the ground.

More diligent than any environmental worker.

The moon was very round tonight, and if one could ignore the lingering burnt smell in the air, it was quite beautiful.

The Base Commander did not stop sweeping after just two hours as he did yesterday; this time, he carefully cleaned the yard before putting down the broom.

Compared to other places in the safety base, the yard could be considered the cleanest.

Before entering the villa’s basement, the Base Commander clapped his hands hard to sweep off the ashes on his body.

Feeling still unclean, he even went to change his clothes.

By the time he entered the basement, it was already the latter half of the night.

The basement had dim lighting, and the cold air was still on full blast.

Thud, thud, thud.

The slight sound of feet on the ground was particularly noticeable in the silent night.

The Base Commander suddenly stopped, his eyes narrowing dangerously, and his leisurely steps suddenly turned urgent as he took long strides towards the place where the Ice Coffin was placed.

A faint purple lightning intertwined around him, the whole person in a state of high tension.

"Who are you! Get out!"

The Base Commander’s voice carried a hint of anger, his eyes seemingly ablaze with fierce flames, ready to burn the person he saw to death.

Before the Ice Coffin stood a teenager wearing a Sun Wukong mask, his fingers pressing against the Ice Coffin.

Green energy spilled from his fingertips.

It seemed ready to disrupt the peace within at any moment.

The Base Commander stood abruptly on the spot, his fingers creaking as he tightly stared at the hand touching the Ice Coffin.

"Cold Base Chief, I’ve long heard of your strength, so I can only speak with you here. Please don’t get so agitated; I’m afraid I might accidentally shake my hand and break the Ice Coffin."

The masked boy’s voice was somewhat enchanting, speaking leisurely but with an undertone of threat.

The tips of his fingers were wrapped in a faint, alluring green light, looking eerie like ghost fire from Hell, unlike the life-giving aura usually exuded by Wood Ability Users.

In the dim light, the Sun Wukong mask didn’t carry the grandeur of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, but rather the aura of a demon consumed by darkness.

Aside from the mask, all that could be seen was a red, enchanting mole on the lower jaw.

"Who exactly are you!"

The Base Commander’s voice was chilling to the extreme.

The reverse scale of a dragon is not to be touched.

Yet the person before him dared to provoke him like this; if it weren’t in front of the Ice Coffin, that person would already be dead.

"I am Wang Ge, a member of the True God Research Institute."

Wang Ge gently lifted his chin, revealing the red mole, and continued,

"The True God Research Institute originated nearly two thousand years ago, specializing in the mysteries of the brain. Perhaps for ordinary people, superpowers only existed after the cataclysm, but for the True God Research Institute, their emergence was inevitable. As early as two thousand years ago, it was predicted what would happen today."

"I am not interested in this; I advise you to take your hand away."

The Base Commander did not listen carefully to Wang Ge’s speech, his gaze cold and terrifying.

Beneath the mask, Wang Ge chuckled softly, withdrawing his hand from the Ice Coffin, though it still remained very close.

If he intended to destroy the Ice Coffin, the Base Commander might not make it in time to stop him.
