He secretly tugged on Ye Sang's sleeve, Ye Li shook his head lightly, and stopped him with his eyes.

"I'm sorry, this is just a conjecture. I also think it's impossible for people to be so. Maybe I'm thinking too much." Ye Li calmly said, "I'm really worrying too much. It's not suitable to stay in this place for a long time. Let's go up there quickly." .” He didn’t want the ignorant Ye Sang to get caught up in conspiracy theories or something.

Yuan Jingmao withdrew his dagger and let out a "hmm".

Ah Bai jumped onto Ye Li's neck, blinked his little black eyes and nodded.

Ye Sang hugged Ye Li, bent his legs slightly, kicked on the ground, and rushed up like an arrow from the string. The hole was not very deep, but in the blink of an eye, the two fell to the ground.

"Hey, do you need help?" Ye Li stood by the pit and shouted towards the bottom of the pit.

Before the words were finished, one hand had already climbed up the edge of the pit, Yuan Jingmao turned over and landed firmly.He patted the dust and dirt on his clothes, and followed the two people in front out of the cave.

Once outside the cave, the whole world suddenly became brighter after pushing away the cluttered weeds. Although it was still a cloudy sky and dry air, it made people clean out the turbid breath in their lungs. The whole body is much more comfortable.

"The base is just south, follow the direction, and you will be there in about three days." Yuan Jingmao looked at the watch locator on his wrist and said, he sighed deeply, "It's a pity that when I came out, there was still Driving a car, now it's all gone."

"When Ah Bai found you, you were the only one."

"Yes, originally we were a team going out for investigation, but there were too many anomalous points in this area and there were not enough manpower, so we temporarily dispersed... But now we have completely lost contact with our companions." Yuan Jingmao stretched out his hand dejectedly, and sighed, "The communication device was accidentally broken while fighting with the alien beast. In such a big place, and I don't know how long I have been in a coma, the probability of finding those guys is almost impossible. The little ones are pitiful. Now I only hope that they will go back safely."

Ye Li couldn't help but think of the mutated pagoda tree that he encountered before. Just a foreign plant that he encountered occasionally has such a huge power, and it may be that Yuan Jingmao's companions are also in danger.

After glancing at Yuan Jingmao who was somewhat sad, Ye Li still decided to keep his mouth shut.

The three of them, plus a white dumpling, walked south for three days and three nights. They trekked all the way, except for a low-level beast that didn't have long eyes. During the dinner on the way, I was lucky not to encounter any powerful monsters.

Ye Sang released the mental pressure silently, her eyes with green light coveted and probed quietly in the dark night, but she was afraid of this threatening powerful mental power, and never dared to attack.

So the group easily passed through a barren small desert, a dense forest, crossed a trickling stream, and finally arrived at the bottom of continuous and abrupt mountains.

Against the background of the light gray sky, it is vague and indistinct. From a distance, towering and majestic peaks surround it, piercing the clouds, like a sword piercing the sky, standing in the clouds and mist.

"Surrounded by high mountains and natural barriers, here we are."

Walking to the foot of the mountain, there is indeed an entrance in a hidden corner, which is blocked by a thick stone wall, so you can't find it unless you look carefully.

Ye Li raised his head and looked up. Wherever he looked, apart from the straight and steep mountain, there was the endless sky.

I saw Yuan Jingmao turned his wrist away, and swiped close to a place near the stone wall. An electronic beep sounded, and the stone wall slowly moved upwards.

"A-level authority, welcome back, Mr. Yuan." A mechanical female voice said, and the stone wall moved up, revealing a tunnel intersection.

The tunnel was dark, but unexpectedly spacious, allowing five people to pass through at the same time, and the surroundings were quiet, only the footsteps of the three of them.

"To be honest, this place is a little different from what I imagined." Ye Li held Ye Sang's hand and said following Yuan Jingmao, "I thought the 'base' would be a very grand... ..fortress, did not expect ... "

"I didn't expect it to be so secretive, did you?" Yuan Jingmao chuckled, continued to grope the tunnel wall, and walked towards the end of the light, "In this world, human beings are no longer allowed to be too ostentatious, except for a few Most of the supernatural beings are ordinary people without the ability to protect themselves. We have to do this before we have no secure power to fight against other dangerous creatures, ah, it's here..."

After walking in the dark tunnel for a few minutes, he stepped out of the cave suddenly, and the bright light shone on Ye Li's eyelids, which was a bit dazzling.

"Open the door, it's me." Yuan Jingmao knocked on the big iron gate in front of him, and not long after, the door opened with a "know it".

"Yuan Shao, you're back!?" The guards looked shocked, and hurried out to greet him, "Your father must have been waiting too long, come in quickly, huh? Who are they two?..."

"My savior, I brought them back together, so I don't need to check that set. They are all supernatural beings." Yuan Jingmao replied, and suddenly raised his head when he thought of something, "By the way, starting from my departure, How long has it been since now?"

"Yuan Shao, it has been 21 days."

"Where's the rest of the team? Are you back?" he asked eagerly.

The guard shook his head: "Except for you, no one else has come back. The communication device has lost its signal and can't be contacted at all."

"Okay. I see. You can do your work..." Yuan Jingmao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, rubbed his sore nose, and turned around with a wry smile , sighed to Ye Li lonely: "I also hope that other people can be safe... In the end, I'm afraid it won't work."

Ye Li opened his mouth, his heavy heart seemed to be infected, he squeezed out four words as comfort: "The world is unpredictable..."

"Yeah, the world is unpredictable." Yuan Jingmao blinked and suppressed the moisture in his eyes. He cheered up and rubbed his face, showing a smile, "Don't think about it for now, you just entered Base, you need to complete some relevant procedures, follow me."

78.

Although the entrance is small and hidden, once I entered the gate, I realized that I was standing on the top of the stone ladder. What I saw before my eyes were all neatly distributed residential houses made of cement, interspersed with temporary tents. The paving was built, the roads criss-crossed, and this seemingly safe place surrounded by mountains and barriers was like an extremely wide basin, with no end in sight for a while, looking at the feet busy walking through Ye Li was surprised and shocked by the flow of people in the streets and alleys.

"Now the base has accommodated more than 80 people, and what you see is just the tip of the iceberg. This place is much bigger than you imagined." Yuan Jingmao said, "This place was formed because of the change in terrain. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, much safer than bases in other provinces, by the way, what kind of residence do you want?"

"It's okay to be quiet and few people."

"I remember that the house in District B should meet your requirements, but the rent is too high and few people will choose it." Yuan Jingmao said as he walked, "But you don't have to worry about the price, a few crystals are enough. nailed it."

"The common currency here is spar?"

"No, there is no such thing as a universal currency anymore. Crystals can be exchanged, and food can also be exchanged. As long as both parties are willing, it will not violate the rules."

Ye Li frowned and said, "It's easy to cause disputes."

"So, this is a society where the weak prey on the strong." Yuan Jingmao stopped in his tracks and smiled, "But don't worry, the exchange rules are limited. As long as the rules are not exceeded, the guards will not interfere. .”

With Yuan Jingmao's presence, the housing formalities were completed very quickly. When the housing registrar received the ten spars, his face couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"This is the key to the gate. The first floor is the living room and kitchen, and the second floor is three bedrooms and the bathroom. Because you pay a one-time long-term rental fee, hot water and electricity are provided free of charge under certain limits." The registrar said, " This area is close to the mountains, the environment is comfortable, few people come, it will never be noisy.”

Ye Li nodded, turned around and asked Ye Sang, "Ye Sang, do you like this place?"

"Yes, I like it." Ye Sang looked at Ye Li with a satisfied expression, and agreed.

"After a while, I'll come to see you again," Yuan Jingmao said, sorting out the collar and wrist sleeves, "I have some urgent matters right now, and I won't be here for long."

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard walked into the door and whispered into his ear, "Young Master Yuan, your father has sent someone to pick you up."

"I see." Yuan Jingmao signaled him to back down with his eyes, raised his head and smiled, "Someone has already urged me, but if you need anything in the future, don't mind telling me, it can be regarded as repaying your life-saving grace."

"Well, I will." Ye Li agreed, "Goodbye."

Yuan Jingmao left with a group of people.

"Ye Sang, we will live here from now on, will you be happy?" Ye Li held Ye Sang's blank face, a little pale and bloodless, but the pair of eyes embedded in it were black and bright, It is no different from a normal person with abundant emotions, but Ye Li still has some worries. Human living habits may not be suitable for Ye Sang who is a zombie. After all, he came here for himself.

"Will you get used to it? Will it bother you?"

"With you here, I will always be very happy." Ye Sang raised the corners of his mouth and burst into a warm smile. He couldn't help pecking Ye Li's lips, and they separated with just a slight touch, "I I like you, Ye Li."

"I like you too, Ye Sang." Ye Li showed an incomparably warm smile, even the curved arc seemed to be full of happiness, he hugged the person in front of him who was obviously excited to death but wanted to pretend The calm guy closed his eyes, enjoying this extremely quiet and warm moment.

Ah Bai, who was behind Ye Li, stared at Xiao Dou's eyes, and fell to the ground in a daze without paying attention.
