After Xue Han and the others entered the city, someone led them to a bungalow to register their age and superpower attribute.

Clearly, the news that this group of people was not on good terms with Li Shuning had already spread.

After registering, the person coldly said: "If you want a place to stay, you need to pay with crystals or food; you choose. Here is the reference chart."

A large hard cardboard was handed over, and Xue Han noticed that a good location required quite a few crystals.

Xue Han and the others did have some crystals, but not many, since they were mostly used to enhance their power, so they chose a two-story building near the city gate, which was enough to accommodate six people, and was slightly cheaper.

After settling in for one night, someone came to them the next day.

If you are not a superpower user, you need to do chores in the city, while superpower users need to join a hunting squad going to a nearby mountain, or be in charge of patrols.

This went on for a week, and Li Shuyan was holding herself back; she didn’t know Li Shuning’s strength, but in Baijing County—no, now it’s named Baijing Base—the strongest she’d seen was Third Rank.

Li Shuning had a late awakening; how strong could she be?

Since she could be the base leader, it indicates she must be above Third Rank.

Li Shuyan guessed Li Shuning’s strength should be around Fourth Rank.

With crystals on hand, she pushed herself to breakthrough, and finally, in the third week after arriving at Baijing Base, she broke through.

During this period, she was constantly cultivating and did not pay much attention to Xue Han and their situation.

After her breakthrough, she found that the temporary residence was empty, and her initial excitement diminished.

Recently, the external situation of the base was becoming more severe, and the city gates were closed, not allowing anyone out.

The task of going out to find supplies had also ceased.

Why were Xue Han and the others not home?

Feeling curious, Li Shuyan decided to go out to take a look.

Unknowingly, she walked to the center of the base.

She looked up at the tallest building, knowing that Li Shuning lived there.

It’s said that Li Shuning lived on the highest floor of the hotel, and her core team also stayed in the hotel.

Li Shuyan felt a slight bitterness inside: Why?

Standing at the corner, just about to leave, her eye suddenly caught a scene she couldn’t believe.

She quickly hid behind a pillar. Her husband was chasing after Li Shuning, anxiously saying something.

Although she couldn’t hear what they were saying, Li Shuyan saw something in Xue Han’s eyes.

It was a passionate gaze, one she used to frequently see, as Xue Han often looked at Li Shuning that way.

Yet he never looked at her like that, even after they got married.

Li Shuyan felt inexplicably melancholic. Yes, she was clean and pretty; and she herself was disheveled, with skin as rough as sandpaper.

A tear suddenly dropped and landed on the back of Li Shuyan’s hand.

She extended her hand, wiped it, and looked a bit more determined.

Li Shuning, why do you exist, why did you awaken a superpower, you shouldn’t exist, everything of yours should belong to me.

She would never allow Xue Han to be taken away.

She had given up everything, and Xue Han was the only one she held onto; she would never allow herself to lose.

Li Shuning had been going out frequently lately, and she had a feeling something was off. Sure enough, each time she went out, she found those zombies gathering more and more.

It reminded her of a plot where a wave of zombies once erupted, too.

At that time in Song City, how Xue Han survived the zombie wave, Li Shuning didn’t know because she was always hiding in the safest place, but many people died then.

According to the plot’s development, this zombie wave shouldn’t be very strong, but Li Shuning wasn’t sure, as many things had changed; this was Baijing Base.

After returning to the hotel, someone came to report to Li Shuning.

"Boss, those people you told the brothers to watch are getting restless recently, especially that woman, she’s roping in some not-so-strong superpower users, not sure what she’s up to."

Li Shuning sneered; any conspiracy or trick is useless in the face of overwhelming power.

She thought that Li Shuyan could never believe she was about to break through to Sixth Rank, right?

Yes, it’s crucial to break through to Sixth Rank as soon as possible.

Li Shuning still had some crystals in hand, especially those Fish Monster Crystals.

After breaking through to Fifth Rank, she hadn’t used the crystals, wanting to keep some in reserve.

After absorbing the crystals, Li Shuning directly broke through to Sixth Rank.

On March 1st, a large number of zombies came outside Baijing Base.

Clearly, such a massive zombie group had already moved the outside construction debris away.

Li Shuning stood expressionlessly on the city wall, not knowing what she was thinking.

People started organizing superpower users to resist.

Baijing Base’s strength is not to be underestimated; the zombie wave didn’t seem to have any significant impact on them, rather it brought a lot of crystals.

"Brother Han, mom goes to do such tiring work every day, and she’s just an ordinary person, her physique can’t compare to us. The relationship between the two families is so good, why does Li Shuning treat aunt that way?"

Xue Han opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything. He had gone to Li Shuning once, pleading bitterly, yet Li Shuning was unyielding, saying that it’s the rule. If they wanted to stay in Baijing Base, they must adhere to Baijing Base’s rules. Such a lack of mercy made Xue Han suffer.

"Brother Han, I used to only be jealous of my sister. Except for that one night, I never harmed her. We are already together, married. Does sister hold a grudge against us; should our family continue to live like this?"

There was struggle and pain in Xue Han’s eyes.

Li Shuyan glanced at him and said, "Brother Han, I don’t mind, it was my fault then, and it harmed mom and dad, we deserve this hardship. But sister shouldn’t treat mom and dad this way. Back then the Xue and Li families were so good together, how did she become so cold-blooded."

Xue Han suddenly said gloomily, "What can we do, after all, this is Xiao Ning’s base."

"Brother Han, what do you think of Baijing Base?"

Xue Han looked at Li Shuyan, and after a long gaze, finally said: "Very disciplined. If given more time, it can definitely be turned into an impenetrable fortress."

"Brother Han, if we take over Baijing Base, we could naturally overcome the current predicament. She is my sister, after all, so even if we have Baijing Base, we won’t do anything to her. In the future, we can take care of sister together, don’t you think?"

Xue Han lowered his eyes without saying anything, and Li Shuyan walked away with a smile.
