Chapter 85

A flicker of surprise flashed in Zhao Rongyan's eyes.

He narrowed his gaze, staring intently at Yun Xiaoxiao.

Isn't that... Jiang Rui'an's daughter?

He hadn't expected that in such a short time, she had become so much more powerful!

And...

The people with her, each of them had remarkable abilities!

If he could recruit all of them to his side, he'd like to see if those people in the base would still dare to call him a useless freeloader behind his back!

After returning to the base, he had discovered that the power dynamics there were complex, not the simple dominance of his father that he had imagined.

Although on the surface his father was the base leader, multiple factions were intertwined and entrenched.

Moreover, as time passed, Superhumans suddenly began popping up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and other factions grew increasingly arrogant, with a subtle trend of wanting to swallow them up.

Fortunately, he had also awakened his ability, which temporarily suppressed those people's restless ambitions.

But this wasn't enough; he needed to cultivate stronger forces to have absolute authority!

This time, he had led a team out to find supplies, wanting to prove his capability.

But unexpectedly, they encountered a horde of zombies that surrounded them, losing several people, and finally having to hide in this building.

Just as they were trapped, not knowing when they could get out,

These people suddenly appeared below.

Watching the zombies fall one by one, a calculating look flashed in Zhao Rongyan's eyes.

He ruthlessly pushed Du Wenwen, who was leaning against him, away.

"Du Wenwen, I think you've misunderstood something. We were just playing along. The person I've loved from beginning to end is Rui'an. You were disrespectful to her earlier, apologize to her."

Although Du Wenwen was a Dual System Ability User of Strength and Space,

Beautiful, and seductive,

He had indeed been tempted.

No man could resist the temptation and seduction of such a woman.

But compared to power, what were women worth?

Once he had power, he could have any kind of woman.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decisively abandoned Du Wenwen.

He couldn't afford to be distracted from Jiang Rui'an now; he still had use for her.

Although she had no combat ability, just a Space System Ability User with a smaller space than Du Wenwen, seeming dispensable,

But who told her she had a good daughter?

Though not biological, there was still that layer of relationship.

With connections, wouldn't things be much easier?

Du Wenwen looked at Zhao Rongyan in disbelief.

She couldn't understand why his attitude had changed so drastically in just a second.

But she was a very clever woman.

Seeing Zhao Rongyan's unquestionable look, she understood.

Today, she had to apologize.

After swiftly dealing with them, they immediately went to the building where Zhao Rongyan and his group were.

This building was a multi-purpose complex.

The ground floor sold clothes, shoes, and similar items.

Inside was blood-stained, with some severed limbs and zombie corpses.

Clothes racks, clothes, and shoes were strewn all over the floor, a complete mess.

However, there weren't many zombies on this bottom floor.

They only found one zombie locked in a changing room.

The rest of the zombies had probably run out earlier when they heard the commotion outside and were killed by them.

They went up to the second floor through the stairwell.

This floor was a large supermarket.

But the supplies inside had been almost completely emptied out.

It seemed this place had been thoroughly looted before.

They continued upwards.

The third floor was a movie theater.

The fourth floor was a gym.

Just as they reached the stairs to the fourth floor, Nie Yizhou sniffed the air.

"The people Chen mentioned earlier should be up there."

"Let's go up and take a look. If there are no zombies, we'll leave."

"Mm-hmm."

As the group reached the stairwell and was about to push open the door, it opened from the inside.

A large group of people were standing there, looking at them curiously.

Seeing the two people standing in the center, Yun Xiaoxiao's brows furrowed.

How could it be them?

How disappointing!

She made a face as if she had just eaten a mouthful of excrement.

Jiang Rui'an also hadn't expected to see Yun Xiaoxiao again.

She was stunned for quite a while.

"Rui'an, isn't this your daughter? Quick, invite them in to sit."

Zhao Rongyan put his arm around Jiang Rui'an's shoulders, smiling gently.

He glanced at Xiao Feng beside Yun Xiaoxiao.

He didn't recognize the others, but he had seen this Xiao Feng at the dog farm.

At that time, he had wanted him to escort them back to the base.

But this man was strong and had a bad temper, and had eventually left on his own.

He hadn't expected that he would now be with Yun Xiaoxiao.

The determined light in Zhao Rongyan's eyes grew even stronger.

He must have them!
