"Yes, we must have our revenge!" Sun Xiaoming, the bald man, exclaimed with reddened eyes, his body filled with anger and resentment.
"That villain Chang Li is inhuman. He even killed infants in their cradles. I can't swallow this grievance without vengeance!"
From their words, Yun Xiaoxiao and the others gradually pieced together the whole story.
It turned out that Ci Wan's father ran a farm on the outskirts of Xiang City.
He wasn't just a farm owner, but also a martial arts enthusiast who could single-handedly take on five strong men without breaking a sweat.
Ci Wan and the farm workers, like the bald Sun Xiaoming and the middle-aged Yang Jianhua, had also learned some skills from him.
After the apocalypse, they turned the farm into a stronghold for their family.
They not only took in the farm workers and their families, but also kindly accepted any survivors who escaped from the city.
The family was inherently kind and simple-hearted. With vegetables, livestock, and stored grain on the farm, they could continue to survive even after taking in many survivors, so they didn't overthink it.
Chang Bing and his brother Chang Li were among these many survivors.
At first, the two didn't reveal their wolfish ambitions.
It wasn't until everyone gradually developed supernatural abilities and became familiar with life on the farm that the brothers' desire for power became increasingly obvious.
However, this was quickly discovered by Ci Wan's father.
Originally, he wanted to expel the two from the base.
But at the time, the Chang brothers' attitude in admitting their mistake was very sincere.
They said they would never have such thoughts again.
They repented and wept bitterly.
Ci Wan's father was a soft-hearted and very loyal person, so he decided to give them another chance.
Who would have thought that these two not only didn't give up their ambition for power, but became even more calculating?
They secretly colluded with many outside survivors, building their own faction.
But on the surface, they appeared very loyal, always eager to go out to find supplies and work.
They never again showed even a hint of ambition in their daily behavior.
But Ci Wan just didn't like these two brothers. She had a vague feeling that they weren't as simple as they appeared on the surface.
She had warned her father several times, but he always said she was overthinking it.
He believed that if people made mistakes and corrected them, that was good enough.
But in the end, what she feared still happened.
When she led a group out to find supplies this time, Chang Li secretly had someone drug her father and some of the uncles.
Although they noticed something was wrong halfway through, they still fell victim to Chang Li's scheme in the end.
Chang Li didn't intend to let Ci Wan and her group off either, so he sent Chang Bing and others to intercept them on the way.
Fortunately, Yun Xiaoxiao and her group happened to pass by, otherwise Chang Li's evil plan would have succeeded.
Once your injuries have healed, you can decide whether to stay or leave as you wish," Yun Xiaoxiao invited with a friendly smile, looking very kind.
She wasn't worried that these people would betray them like the Chang brothers.
On one hand, it was because Ci Wan didn't seem like that kind of person.
On the other hand, she also trusted the system.
If these people had any ill intentions, they would be immediately expelled from the base by the system.
Of course, she had some selfish motives too.
These people were quite capable. If they could truly settle into their base, it would greatly increase the base's combat power in the future.
Then there was the matter of zombie cores.
They were currently desperate for revenge and would certainly want to increase their strength.
And what would they use to increase their strength?
Evolution fluid, of course.
She had evolution fluid.
But they couldn't just take it for free; they would certainly have to exchange zombie cores for it.
Wasn't that exactly what she wanted?
She needed zombie cores.
This was a win-win situation, mutually beneficial.
She naturally wanted to actively promote it.
Hearing Yun Xiaoxiao's invitation, the gratitude in Ci Wan and the others' eyes grew even stronger.
This could be seen from their intimacy level with Yun Xiaoxiao.
Ci Wan's intimacy with her had directly soared to 100%!
"I'm sorry, I doubted you before because of the evolution fluid. Now I sincerely apologize to you. You are good people, really good people!" Sun Xiaoming said excitedly, his voice tinged with emotion.
Not only had Yun Xiaoxiao and her group saved them twice, but they were also willing to take them in when they were in such dire straits and uncertain about their future.
This kindness was truly greater than the sky.
In a flash, Sun Xiaoming's favorability towards Yun Xiaoxiao also jumped to 100%.
Although the curly-haired young man Wei Qian and the middle-aged Yang Jianhua hadn't reached 100% yet, one was at 98% and the other at 99%, just a step away from 100%.
The other four weren't far behind, all above 80%.
Well, it probably wouldn't be long before they all reached 100%.
Seeing this, the smile at the corner of Yun Xiaoxiao's lips grew even wider.
Good!
Very good!
Excellent!
