Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng ran down when they heard her voice. Xiao Cheng scowled and said, “Xiao Ai, make it clear. What do you mean by Peng Peng wants to kill us? How did you know?”
Xiao Ai said in a state of shock, “I-I helped in the kitchen to wash the dishes today, and on the way home, I saw two people dragging an unconscious person to the back, so I quietly followed. Then I saw Peng Peng killing the unconscious man and took something out of his head…”
Chu Xiang and Xiao Jin looked at each other and thought of the missing people at the base. It seemed that Peng Peng discovered that superhumans also have crystal cores in their heads, so as soon as he found out that a superhuman has advanced, he killed that person to obtain his crystal core. In this way, there would never be a superhuman over him in the base. He could always be the Boss and also use the crystal cores to advance.
Xiao Cheng patted Xiao Ai on the shoulder to comfort her. “Don’t be afraid, didn’t you escape safely without Peng Peng discovering it. Tell me about Peng Peng wanting to kill us.”
“I heard Peng Peng’s instructions to those two men. He ordered them to lead you to a place when they send you off tomorrow, and then Peng Peng and another superhuman will wait for you there. After that, they will kill you and take your supplies and weapons, and… crystal cores.” Xiao Ai’s face was pale. She was really grateful to Peng Peng for taking her in, but now, seeing that scene, she no longer wanted to stay in this base.

Seeing that none of the three moved, Xiao Ai said anxiously, “Quickly think of a way to escape!”
Xiao Cheng looked at Chu Xiang subconsciously. “What do you think, Captain?”
Chu Xiang thought for a while, then chuckled: “Others treat us as a dish on the plate, so it would be too rude if we don’t return the favor. This Peng Peng must have accumulated a lot of good stuff. Let’s go and rob him.”
Xiao Ai’s eyes widened, and she exclaimed in stupefaction, “Are you going to rob him? Are you crazy? All the people here are his!”
Xiao Cheng reasoned proudly, “You underestimate us. I circled the base and am already considered a living map. Didn’t you say that Peng Peng is somewhere discussing things with his subordinates? Then there must be no one in his office and residence. Let’s go. Go now.”
Their possessions were all in the car, and there was nothing for them to pack. They could leave right away. Xiao Ai was not physically fit, so of course she didn’t follow. When the three of them left, Xiao Ai sat in the courtyard of the villa in despair, feeling a little empty deep inside.

It was Chu Xiang and the brothers who eliminated the zombies in the villa neighborhood that gave her the chance to get into this base before she starved to death. She also had the opportunity to dissect a few zombie corpses. She felt a trace of gratitude and closeness to them. She thought they could all live together in the base in the future, but who would have thought that they would be leaving soon and that the base was a deceptive bubble?
In fact, if she thought about it carefully, what kind of base was this? It just sounded pleasant to the ears. Wasn’t this place filled with just a bunch of rabble-rousers? It was less than two months after the apocalypse, and the population still hadn’t yet recognized the cruelty of the apocalypse. Fortunately, she saw the truth behind it as soon as she entered the base, and didn’t indulge in the beauty of the heavily poisoned dream.
But what could she do?
Xiao Ai thought of Chu Xiang and the brothers, went into the villa to find two knives, and quietly blended into the night and sprinted towards the direction they went.
Xiao Cheng took the lead in finding Peng Peng’s residence. Chu Xiang used her spiritual power to break the lock of a window, and the three entered through it. Xiao Jin whispered, “You are so powerful. Can you teach me when we return?”
“Okay, hurry up and find things.” Chu Xiang gestured to the two of them and ran into the study first.

Xiao Jin followed suit and entered the bedroom, while Xiao Cheng checked in several other rooms.
There was a safe in the study room, which was hidden in a cabinet. Chu Xiang was now on the second level of the Qi Refining Stage, and her hands were infused with spiritual power. One magic trick from her deformed the safe and successfully broke it open. Inside were two palm-sized bags, all of which were high-grade crystal cores, plus a satellite phone.
Chu Xiang turned on the phone without making a sound, quietly listening to the movement on the other side. Xiao Jin came over with a few sleek guns and a large bag of ordinary crystal cores. Chu Xiang immediately raised her index finger and made a silent gesture.
Xiao Jin called Xiao Cheng over in a whisper. Xiao Cheng held two samurai knives, and the two brothers moved to Chu Xiang’s side in silence.
After a few crackles from the phone, a man’s voice came out, “Peng Peng, do you have enough crystal cores?”

Chu Xiang winked at Xiao Jin, who gave a low ‘hmm’ and then pretended to cough to avoid speaking. The other party seemed satisfied and said, “Once you have enough crystal cores, come to the base and you’ll manage the internal affairs. Our Dawn isn’t a play house thing. Your coming here is for your safety. By the way, none of the women you promised us will be missing, do you understand?”
“Cough, cough, okay, cough…” Xiao Jin replied vaguely and disconnected the phone.
The three exchanged glances. Chu Xiang clicked on the phone and whispered, “Peng Peng found a strong base to take refuge in. Everything that he’s doing here is just to raise an entrance ticket. He’s going to that base with a bought officialdom.”
Xiao Jin frowned and recalled carefully, “The number of women in the base is three times that of men, and they are also Peng Peng’s offerings.”
Xiao Cheng was surprised when he saw the high-grade crystal cores in Chu Xiang’s hand: “So many? Why didn’t he absorb it? Wouldn’t it be better for him to become strong himself?”
“Everyone has different aptitudes, and not everyone can absorb unlimited spiritual power to improve their strength. For example, it takes half an hour for you to absorb second-grade crystal cores now, but some may need two days or even ten days. Peng Peng is either poor in aptitude, or he feels that it is safer to go to the Dawn base than to become stronger on his own. After all, the power of a base is disparate from the power of an individual.” Chu Xiang put everything she found in her bag and threw it to Xiao Jin to carry. “Let’s Go!”
