On the walls of B City Base, two soldiers in blue uniforms stood straight, supervising with a serious demeanor. Their abilities were quite unique; while they were nearly useless in combat, they excelled in support roles.
They were fraternal twins, completely different in appearance and temperament, yet their abilities complemented each other. One had a talent akin to enhanced hearing, while the other possessed a vision that could see great distances. It was thanks to these abilities that they managed to traverse through a sea of corpses to reach B City Base, despite lacking any combat strength or support at the time.
Moreover, behind them were two teams dressed in green camouflage uniforms patrolling back and forth. If it were nighttime, an additional ability team would assist, ensuring the base's safety to the greatest extent possible.
These soldiers were nothing like the gatekeepers at A City Base who exploited newcomers and feared for their lives; they were true soldiers, filled with passion dedicated to protecting their homeland and serving the people wholeheartedly.
“Vroom~”
The distant roar of a vehicle made one of the blue-uniformed soldiers perk up his ears. He immediately raised his gun, while the other squinted and said, “There’s a military off-road vehicle from the base three kilometers away. Inside are Xiang Chuyun and Yuan Kang. Send the first team with two medics for assistance! Infected individuals—eliminate!”
“Yes!”
One of the teams received the order and quickly turned right, efficiently reaching the ground. After opening the large gate, they swiftly formed a line, raising their energy rifles in unison.
These energy rifles resembled shotguns but had barrels that were twice as wide. They had just been developed three months ago; due to unstable energy levels, they underwent multiple tests before being distributed to regular soldiers. Their power was comparable to a full-force strike from a level five late-stage evolver.
Xiang Chuyun looked at the dark muzzles of the rifles with his usual lackadaisical expression. To anyone unfamiliar with him, he might have seemed as if those guns were toys.
“Everyone inside the vehicle is dead except for that one. Radiant Lightning and her subordinates’ fates are unknown.”
His lazy tone sounded as if he were commenting on the weather, completely unaware of how much shock his words would bring to the base.
“What about Liu Xinlian? What about Zhao Commander’s assistant’s daughter?!”
"Um?"
Xiang Chuyun looked at the terrified soldier with a confused expression and said nonchalantly, "He's dead."
The soldier's face turned pale, and after saying something to his companion, he hurriedly ran into the base, presumably to report the situation.
"I have nothing to do with this, so I'm leaving~"
Just as he was about to exit the base, he caught sight of someone in a white military uniform approaching him. He slightly bent his index finger and adjusted his glasses, saying coldly, "I still have a way."
"Chuze! It's Chuze!!!"
The soldiers were ecstatic to see their idol. This person remained calm under pressure, strategizing effectively and saving the base from peril time and again, even defeating a horde of over one hundred thousand zombies without using any abilities!
However, their excellent training prevented them from overstepping their bounds; they stood firm with their guns at the ready without any signs of disorder. Still, their eager eyes betrayed their excitement.
"If the Carnivorous Plant devours that Radiant Lightning, it will definitely upgrade. I won't have any chance to obtain the Core."
"She isn't dead."
Xiang Chuyun yawned while looking at Chuze. The distrustful glint in his eyes made the surrounding soldiers restless!
"How do you know?"
Chuze did not answer, staring at him for a while before walking away, leaving one to wonder what he was thinking.
Xiang Chuyun narrowed his eyes as a blue cross flashed in them, and the same information flooded his mind as before.

Three days later
Liu You'er rushed back to L Base with the plant Core in hand, ignoring the enthusiastic greetings from everyone as she returned to her quarters. She cut the green Core into small pieces and fed them one by one to Little Red, her hand resting on its body, constantly monitoring its condition, fearing it might absorb too much energy.
She had only realized after leveling up that Little Red had already reached level five and was fully capable of resisting her, yet it did not...
During the time when she lacked emotions, she did not feel particularly sad about harming Little Red or Dr. Numb's nerves because she firmly believed she was helping it and herself.
Later, taking care of it was merely out of guilt and a sense of obligation, unrelated to feelings.
However, when her emotions returned, she suddenly realized that she had done something she once looked down upon.
To harm the innocent for one's own benefit, to resort to any means to achieve a goal...
She asked herself countless times if she regretted it. But ironically, even so, her answer remained "no"!
Ha—
She chuckled at herself, her gaze forlorn, and inexplicably thought of Chuze.
"Since he knows he has become like this, why would he still help himself? Doesn't he fear that he might turn against him?"
She shook her head, pulling her thoughts back, and fixed her gaze on Core as it transformed into green gas the moment it entered Xiaohong's mouth, indicating that its subconscious could still absorb energy.
Liu You'er frowned in confusion but did not stop feeding Core.
Logically speaking, Xiaohong was only at level five; it should have been unable to absorb any more than two-thirds of an eighth-level Core. But now...
Even after feeding it the entire Core, it still showed no signs of waking up. It was normal for it not to wake up, considering it had been in a half-dead state for two years. But why hadn't its body gained even a trace of energy? Where had all that energy gone?!
Anger surged within her as she took out all the Cores stored in her space.
Wind Element, Water Element, Earth Element, Healing Element, Spiritual System, various elements—zombie-related, human-related, high-level, low-level...
One hour later.
Damn it!
Liu You'er looked at the empty bag and felt a deep sense of frustration as she stared at Xiaohong.
"Dear, you lost hundreds of supplies and you still have no reaction? Are you kidding me?"
She felt a lump in her chest, and just as she was about to leave, she realized her hand seemed to be magnetically stuck to Xiao Hong.
At the same time, she began to feel a surge of heat throughout her body, energy boiling violently, increasing in quantity...
She sensed something was wrong.
What’s happening?! Am I being pulled in?
It hurts!
She clutched her arm in pain and bent over, feeling as if penicillin was being injected into her veins, her body feeling like it was being torn apart.
Her skin slowly turned red, then blue, and later shifted to yellow, like a chameleon.
Looking down, she noticed that all this energy was being transmitted through Xiao Hong's feathers. She felt a bit panicked, her expression darkening as she pondered something.
In less than two seconds, she gritted her teeth and placed her other hand on Xiao Hong as well.
Thus, as a medium, vibrant energy flowed between her hands in a cycle, while Xiao Hong's previously slow-beating heart began to regain vitality.
