In the apocalypse, you start with two knives, and all your equipment depends on drops.

Chapter 127 Banquet

Upon entering the building, Qi Xian immediately discovered hidden surveillance and eavesdropping devices in every corner of the house.

He pretended not to know, but reminded Yu Yao in a telepathic message: "Xiao Qi, this house is full of surveillance cameras and eavesdropping devices, be very careful."

Yu Yao: "As expected of He'an... they even have working surveillance cameras!"

Qi Xian: "There are also ones in the bathroom and the room..."

Yu Yao: "Pervert!"

Chi Heng pretended to be satisfied and tried sitting on the sofa, saying, "This sofa is quite comfortable."

In her mind, she said, "I'll put up a princess-style bed canopy for you in a little while. Go inside to change your clothes and rest."

"Um!"

The butterfly's transformation time is limited; it can only transform for 12 hours each day.

So she had to hide for the rest of the day.

The three of them toured the house with apparent interest and satisfaction. When assigning rooms, they played the role of doting older brothers, giving Yu Yao the best bedroom on the second floor.

He personally installed a pink princess bed canopy for her and placed many small ornaments on it.

By doing this, Yu Yao's privacy was basically preserved.

To make it more realistic, they also appropriately displayed some rebellious tendencies.

For example, the locks on all the doors in the house were changed, the windows were reinforced, and internal locks were added.

Chi Heng also left lightning-type supernatural abilities on all the doors and windows to prevent anyone from trespassing on his territory.

It's like a country bumpkin who's never seen the world has come to the city, found a good spot, and is rushing to take action to assert his dominance.

......

At six o'clock in the evening, Chen Chen came to the two-story building where Chi Heng and the others were once again.

He led the group out, and after passing only two houses, they arrived at their destination.

The base commander's dormitory.

It was a relatively ordinary three-story building, compared to the current residence of the "Xie siblings".

Apart from being slightly larger and having an extra floor, they are completely incomparable.

The interior isn't exactly exquisite or luxurious; it's just average and ordinary.

However, the large dining table in the dining room is indeed very big.

Moreover, it was already filled with all sorts of delicacies and fine wines.

There were four people sitting around the large round table.

The man in the main seat was in his fifties, rather thin, but sat extremely upright, with a slightly serious expression.

Chen Chen introduced, "This is our base commander, Li."

After saying that, he respectfully pointed to the young man sitting to the right of Chief Li.

The man was around thirty years old, with an ordinary appearance, but possessed an extremely strong presence.

"This is Commander Zhong, the chief of our base's security team."

Commander Zhong's gaze swept over the "three Xie siblings" several times before finally settling on "Xie Yu's" face, his eyes filled with aggression.

"Welcome, the three of you..."

Although he mentioned three people, his gaze was fixed on Xie Yu alone.

Xie Yu nervously fidgeted with her fingers, looking as delicate and timid as a newly sprouted flower bud.

Upon seeing this, Commander Zhong's eyes gleamed with even greater interest, subtly revealing a sense of determination to succeed.

Seeing this, Chen Chen didn't dare to say a word and quickly introduced the two people sitting to the left of Chief Li.

"These two are Miss Yan Yi from the base commander's family and Young Master Huo Zheng from the Huo family."

Xie Lei and the other two greeted the group of people.

After the base commander spoke, they sat down in their respective seats under Chen Chen's guidance.

......

After everyone was seated, the base leader looked at Xie Yu and asked in a relatively gentle tone, "I've looked at your file. Your abilities are space manipulation and beast taming. I can understand space manipulation, but beast taming...?"

Xie Yu blinked her big eyes, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Although introverted, his eyes still light up with pride when he talks about his special abilities.

"It means... I can control all mutated beasts within my level."

"Oh?" The base commander opened his mouth in surprise. "All of them?"

"Mmm, all of them~"

"Not bad, it has potential."

"Thank you for the compliment, Base Commander!"

Xie Yu said thank you sweetly.

Even the base commander, who wasn't particularly fond of beautiful women, smiled and nodded.

Then, he looked at "Xie Lei".

"You siblings are both talented. Not only are you both ability users, but you also have a sister who can control beasts, and you yourselves are advanced level three ability users. You have a bright future ahead of you."

Commander Zhong was somewhat curious about how quickly Xie Lei's level had increased.

"But I'm really curious, how did you level up so quickly with just a few of you?"

Xie Zhuo sighed.

"Sigh, it's embarrassing to admit, but two days ago, we weren't just three people, we were a large team of dozens. But...sigh...we encountered a zombie horde controlled by level three zombies. Although we successfully killed the level three zombies and cleared the horde, all our teammates...sigh..."

He didn't say anything more about what happened.

It all depends on personal imagination!

"Oh? You've already killed a level 3 zombie?"

"Yeah, and there's more than one! Otherwise, how could my brother have leveled up to level three so quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yan let out a cold laugh.

"So you climbed up by stepping on your teammates' corpses, huh? I thought you were someone important..."

Xie Zhuo's expression changed. After a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly lowered his head and chuckled.

"Oh? It seems Miss Li doesn't welcome us?"

As he spoke, his gaze turned to the other people.

Seeing that they had no intention of speaking, he couldn't help but sneer, "Since that's the case, we won't force you. We'll be leaving first thing tomorrow morning. In the future, we'll all go our separate ways and wish each other well."

After Xie Zhuo finished speaking, Xie Lei also stood up with a cold face.

Xie Yu paused for a few seconds, her gaze quickly shifting between her two older brothers and the base commander and the others.

Then he quickly stood up, grabbed "Xie Lei's" arm, and dodged away in small steps.

Upon seeing this, the base commander frowned deeply.

She first gave Li Yanyi a cold glare, then looked at the "Xie family's three siblings" with disapproval.

"What are you all doing! Yan Yi is so outspoken, and this isn't what any of us wanted. Sit down if you really want to join our base."

Xie Lei snorted.

"The departure of our teammates was something the three of us were more reluctant to see than anyone else. If you want to belittle us, you can do it in a different way, instead of rubbing salt in our wounds!"

Upon hearing this, Commander Zhong nodded in agreement.

"You're right, what Xiaoyan said was indeed incorrect."

Li Yanyi glared at Commander Zhong with a sour face and snorted in dissatisfaction.

Neither rebuttal nor apology.

Huo Zheng patted her back reassuringly and spoke up for her.

"Xiaoyan didn't mean it that way, please don't take it to heart. I also apologize on her behalf and feel sorry for your former teammate. If needed in the future, we can be your teammates, and we can help and support each other, okay?"

That sounds wonderful.

Seeing the three siblings' expressions soften.

The base commander gave him an approving look, then glanced at his own daughter, who still seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

Sighed to myself.

He said, "Alright, that's enough. The food's getting cold. Let's eat."

Since he had said that, Xie Lei and the others stopped putting on airs.

After saying a few kind words to the base commander, he obediently sat back down and began to eat.
