Long Qingying held the wall and slightly moved her right hand, triggering the energy that she had just restored. Earlier on, she ran out of energy and failed to cover her skin with her metal power, ending up getting shot.
She would have been able to squeeze the bullets out of her body when she woke up and regained some of her energy. Unexpectedly, Kong Qingming dug out the bullets for her while she was unconscious.
The bullets were gone, and she restored a slight amount of energy after drinking the liquid drug that she brought from All Beings Base. With the help of that slight amount of energy, her injury was healing quickly.
She took the few sips of water, then ate the last piece of homemade hardtack she had. Only after that did she have the strength to stand up and walk.
Kong Qingming was walking before her, paying attention to the surrounding environment. The two of them walked out of an alley and leaned against a wall while observing the surrounding area.



I sensed some energy waves from that area. The air is flowing quickly. I think it’s wind power,
Kong Qingming spent a moment sensing the energy contained in the wind and said. He couldn’t hear anything from that area through the long distance, yet the wind was blowing strongly, as if someone was controlling it.

It’s not Wenwen and the others then,
said Long Qingying with a slight frown. She had only started to restore her energy, so she wasn’t able to sense the energy waves from a distance away yet. Hearing what Kong Qingming said, she made a guess.
After all, none of her friends had wind power. Whoever released the wind power couldn’t be one of them.
Kong Qingming thought for a second, then abruptly hopped on top of a building nearby to carefully feel the wind power that was coming from a long distance away.

The energy is fluctuating strongly. I think there might be a fight. We are not sure if the possessor of this wind power is a friend or an enemy, and whom he or she is fighting. Let’s go and take a look,
Kong Qingming leaped off the building and held Long Qingying’s hand as he talked while moving forward.
Earlier on, they abandoned their car when escaping. Without a vehicle, they could either move quickly by using their superpowers or walk step by step with their legs. They chose the latter to save energy.
They heard the noises of a car engine after a short while of walking. Kong Qingming instantly dragged Long Qingying to a corner to hide, then sneakily observed the coming vehicles.
While walking, he had been leaving secret marks behind. If any Sea City Base soldiers were around, they would notice those marks and find him. He wasn’t sure if any Sea City Base people would show up there though.
About ten minutes later, he saw two modified off-road cars slowly driving over.
The postures and clothing of the soldiers, who were sitting on top of the two cars and holding guns, made him sigh with relief. Those cars did belong to Sea City Base. He didn’t know the people sitting on top of the cars though.



It’s alright. They’re friends.
Kong Qingming said to Long Qingying, then turned and stood up on the roof as he waved both arms. Following his movements, the mutated trees on both sides of the road instantly started growing rapidly and blocked the way.

It’s Deputy Chief!
Finding that it was trees that blocked the road, the people on the two cars were relieved. They dropped their weapons and waited for the people that they were looking for to show up.
Soon, Kong Qingming showed up together with Long Qingying.
Do you have any food? Give me some,
he said to Li Yue Shan.
Li Yue Shan threw two packs of hardtack at him while asking him,
Where are the others? Why are you two alone?

Kong Qingming handed one pack of hardtack to Long Qingying, then opened the other pack and started eating. While chewing the food, he said,
Huaxia Base people attacked us. They’re strong. We ran out of ammo, and we were outnumbered. Her, me, Lin Wenwen, and Leng Xuantong from All Beings Base, we’re the only survivors. We got separated, so we don’t know what’s happening with them now. Those Huaxia Base people aren’t coming after us, so I guess they’re after Lin Wenwen and Leng Xuantong.

Li Yue Shan furrowed his eyebrows and said with a serious look,
Why did they suddenly show up and attack you? You look so miserable, so I guess they came all prepared. How strong are they?

Kong Qingming found a rock to sit on as he answered the question,
Two level-six ones, and the others are at level-five. There are about three-hundred of them. They split into about ten squads, each squad having three lightly modified combat vehicles that are heavily armored. They fired at us as if their bullets were free. I suppose they brought enough ammunition. As for why they suddenly attacked us, I think it’s because they’ve heard about our mission. They aren’t making any big moves, but it doesn’t mean they won’t make small moves.

Li Yue Shan stayed silent as he frowned slightly. After quenching his hunger and thirst, Kong Qingming asked him about why he and his people were there.
What are you doing here? Did Chief give you any mission?

Li Yue Shan quickly answered his question,
Chief sent us here to bring you guys back. He already sent here a batch of people before us about a week ago. Didn’t you see them? We’re the second batch. We came here under an emergency order.

Kong Qingming paused briefly with surprise. The first batch of people should have arrived long ago, yet he didn’t see anyone from Sea City Base. Huaxia Base people might have found them and murdered them already.


Li Yue Shan glanced at the others, then abruptly put an arm around Kong Qingming’s neck and dragged him to the side, slightly away from the others. After that, he whispered softly,
Chief’s son is going to be a month old in a few days. He wants you to finish the mission early and go back for the party.


What?
Kong Qingming immediately popped his eyes in shock and said,
Son? Where did the son come from?

Damn! If Chief Wu had a son… What about Lu Tianyi’s sister? Was he giving up on her? Hadn’t he been pursuing her so passionately without giving up no matter how? Wait… Son? A month old?
Kong Qingming’s brain wasn’t working very well at the moment.
Had Chief Wu been with someone else while pursuing Lu Tianyi’s sister? Did he and that woman have a son already? So, was he faking it with Sister Lu?
So, was everything he said and did before a lie?
Kong Qingming suddenly thought of Lu Tianyi. If he knew about that, he might try to put Wu Chengyue in a bag and beat him so hard. Of course, that was a very difficult thing to do.
Seeing the look on Kong Qingming’s face, Li Yue Shan grinned. He enjoyed watching the latter’s shocked face. He had no idea what Kong Qingming was thinking about at the moment, but was pretty sure that the young man was stunned.
He himself reacted the same way a few days ago when he heard that shocking news.

You can make a guess about where the baby came from.
He didn’t plan to reveal the kid’s special background, but told Kong Qingming to guess.


No one would even imagine that the Chief lady from All Beings Base, who was a zombie, could give birth to a perfectly healthy and alive baby.
Clap! Kong Qingming slapped on his shoulder and said,
Just tell me!


You’ll know when you get back. Do keep it secret though. I’m the only one who knows about it here,
Li Yue Shan took his slap with a smile, then brought him back to the ground while speaking.
