"You had someone enter your room yesterday."
Liu You'er, having finally endured the last treatment, was in a good mood and blurted out in response to Chuze's words, "Kill him."
"..."
"..."
An awkward silence ensued.
"What I meant to ask was who went in!"
Liu You'er quickly sat up straight and said seriously to Chuze.
"Do you want to turn into a Zombie again?"
"No, it's too ugly."
"..."
"Anyway, let's not talk about that. Who went into my room?"
"Xuan Mo."
Liu You'er's expression dimmed as she pondered something. After a moment, she sighed and said, "I dug things out, and he was able to find me so quickly. It seems these past two years of observation weren't in vain; he really understands me."
Chuze paused his actions upon hearing this, looking at her as she pretended to be indifferent, covering her icy hand and saying, "He is not much of a threat right now. The real threat comes from those hiding in the shadows. Stay here and don't attend the meeting; I will handle the rest."
Liu You'er blinked and looked up into his unfathomable eyes, thinking that if she were still human, her heart would probably be racing right now. It felt good to have someone like him standing in front of her to shield her from the storm.
Seeing Liu You'er obediently nod, Chuze smiled slightly at the corners of his mouth.
"I'm leaving."
"…Okay."
In the middle of the conference room, which was over fifty square meters, there was a long rectangular table. Zhao Commander sat at the head, with Zhao Ling and Chuze standing on either side. Next to them sat a seemingly gentle man, who faced Li Long, the father of Li Xiong.
The remaining seats were arranged according to the strength of each base, clearly visible.
"Report: The Ruler of A City Base and the dispatched personnel have not arrived. The Ruler of L City Base has not returned since assisting last time. The dispatched personnel from M City and H City were ambushed on their way here, and there are..."
Dressed in a black suit with meticulously combed hair, Secretary Qian reported the arrival status of each base to Zhao Commander, then stood silently like a statue.
After listening, Zhao Commander nodded to indicate he understood. His gaze swept around the room, and his imposing presence made everyone feel uneasy; the atmosphere instantly fell silent. Only Xiang Chuyun, sitting at the far end, drooped his eyelids as if filled with fatigue.
Zhao Commander was unsure if he had noticed him but spoke sternly: "First of all, I want to thank everyone for responding to the call amidst the dangers of this apocalypse and overcoming numerous obstacles to attend this meeting. I won't waste any more words and will get straight to the point."
"As everyone knows, two and a half years ago, the apocalypse broke out due to a suspected virus leak..."
Creak—
The conference room door suddenly swung open. Chuze frowned slightly upon seeing the newcomer, making a small motion that went unnoticed by anyone else as all eyes were drawn away.
A woman dressed in a black leather jacket and pants, with a high ponytail, appeared clean-cut and exuded a cool demeanor. A shiny-furred Red Bird perched on her shoulder, while a charmingly sinister-looking man followed closely behind her, radiating an intimidating presence.
"I am Radiant Lightning. Sorry for being late; I ran into some issues."
Her assertive tone did not convey any hint of embarrassment. However, her superior, Zhao Commander, waved his hand dismissively, indicating that they might have some connection or that Liu You'er was quite formidable.
Moreover, some of the subordinates had encountered Liu You'er while seizing supplies, but those individuals were all devoured by the Horde. The few who managed to escape mysteriously died within days after reporting back to their base, which was chilling to consider.
These higher-ups had never seen Liu You'er, but they had heard of her distinctive white hair, so they remained silent. Yet sometimes, there are always those who seek trouble.
"Hey, showing up late with that attitude? Tsk tsk tsk."
This person was the head of K Base. Although it was called a base, it was merely a gathering place for several thousand people. Before the apocalypse, he was a small-time thug who gathered a group of henchmen after the end of the world. Relying on his strong Ability and iron-fisted rule, he captured many people and established a Small Base where he ruled with an iron fist.
Due to its remote location and being shielded by B City Base in front of it, K Base had survived until now. Ironically, he thought himself quite impressive and wanted to show off again without realizing how lowly his position truly was.
Liu You'er ignored him completely and walked straight to her seat next to Li Long. Xiang Chuyun glanced at the speaking man before closing her eyes again to rest.
The man felt slighted by being overlooked and found it hard to maintain his dignity. However, he dared not act too recklessly in front of Zhao Commander and could only glare at Liu You'er with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
Liu You'er sensed the hostility but remained unfazed. With a mocking glance at the red-faced man, she raised her middle finger in his direction, prompting Chuze to adjust his glasses.
"You!"
The man stood up with a flushed face, but as soon as he did, he heard Chuze's cold voice.
"K Base?!"
"Be quiet, or go outside."
The tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.
Zhao Commander glanced at Chuze without revealing any emotions, a hint of amusement flickering in his eyes, showing no intention to intervene.
Seeing this, the man muttered something under his breath and obediently lowered his head to sit back down, falling silent. The brutality in his eyes simmered just beneath the surface, and veins bulged on his fists.
Although he felt quite powerful, facing the B City Base was clearly like striking a rock with an egg.
"Are you happy now?"
Liu You'er looked at Chuze's helpless expression and surprisingly understood, her mood instantly brightening. She lightly nodded and threw him a smug glance.
"We'll settle this later!"
"..."
Liu You'er quickly withdrew her gaze, feeling a surge of frustration as she looked at the gentle man diagonally across from her.
"Zhao Feng!"
