When Jiang Yue Bai finished packing up her things, she saw Luo Zi Lin hadn't moved yet and asked, "Why aren't you packing, Zi Lin?"



Luo Zi Lin gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not going."



She still believes in the plot, Luan Qing Xiao was probably lying to them.



Luan Qing Xiao only implied it and didn’t just straightforwardly say it. Who knows if they interpreted it wrong and Liang Yan didn't want to leave at all?



Jiang Yue Bai was surprised, but she quickly adjusted her mood. "As long as you thought it through, I'm leaving."



Jiang Yue Bai left the room without looking back. Her figure disappeared into the night.



They decided to gather at the place where Zhang Yao Xue has been training at. There were few people there, so it wouldn't be as easy for them to be spotted when they went there.



A Base has built a high wall, but to ability users, this wall was nothing.



Zhang Yao Xue has been waiting by the wall for some time. Seeing Luan Qing Xiao and Nie Zhen'er slowly walking over, his tightened brows loosened a little. When Jiang Yue Bai arrived, his brows furrowed again, "Where is Luo Zi Lin?"



"Luo Zi Lin said she’s not leaving."



Zhang Yao Xue’s attitude was the same as Jiang Yue Bai’s, "If she doesn’t want to leave, then she doesn’t have to. No one’s forcing her."



"Lieutenant, there are still three minutes until three o'clock. Where shall we wait once we head out?" Zhang Yao inquired.



Luan Qing Xiao replied, "On our way here, there’s a small courtyard with a willow tree. We’ll be going there."



Although Liang Yan didn't state the location, based on Luan Qing Xiao's understanding of him, he would definitely go to a place he had seen before and it must be a house too.



The one nearest to them was the place Luan Qing Xiao just said.



"Time is up, let's get going." Luan Qing Xiao announced.



Zhang Yao Xue controlled the soil to create one step after another, allowing the group to easily cross the high wall. Then they started trekking in the direction Luan Qing Xiao mentioned without hesitation.



That side was a place that has been explored by A Base already so people from A Base won’t go there again nor would they have to worry about running into any people from A Base along the way.



Because they weren’t in a hurry, they arrived at the small yard at approximately five o'clock.



Inside the yard, there was a withered willow tree with its yellowish brown branches hanging down stiffly.



"Let's rest for a bit, Captain should be here soon."



In both the East and West Wings, each room had an enormous bed. Although a thick layer of dust rested on all the surfaces, after Zhang Yao Xue removed the soil and Luan Qing Xiao washed it again with water, the bed became much cleaner.



Luan Qing Xiao sat against the wall, "You guys sleep first, I'll wait for Captain."



Luan Qing Xiao: 520, did Liang Yan escape?



【Ding! The male lead is driving a car and will arrive shortly. 】



Hearing 520 said that Liang Yan would be here soon, Luan Qing Xiao got up and went outside to check. Nie Zhen'er heard her movement and climbed out of the bed to head out with her.



Luan Qing Xiao stood at the door way and stared in the direction they came from. Before long, the sound of car tires screeching against the ground became clearer and clearer until Liang Yan appeared in an armored car!



"Qing Xiao, it's the captain!" Nie Zhen'er exclaimed excitedly.



Luan Qing Xiao nodded, "I saw, it's him."



Liang Yan drove extremely fast, so he arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye.



Liang Yan parked the car, before pushing open the door and got off. He admiringly acknowledged Luan Qing Xiao, "As expected of the Lieutenant, I knew you would be able to find this location without me stating it."



"Zhen'er, are you okay?" Once Liang Yan finished complimenting Luan Qing Xiao, he then conversed with Nie Zhen'er.



Nie Zhen'er responded, "Captain, I'm fine."



Liang Yan actually had nothing to say.



After being forced to spend those few days with Yuan Ting, who was dying and sick, he urgently needed to cleanse his soul with Nie Zhen'er's voice.



"Where are the other three?" Liang Yan asked.



Nie Zhen'er hesitated and said nothing, but Luan Qing Xiao answered, "Zhang Yao Xue and Jiang Yue Bai are sleeping, while Luo Zi Lin decided to stay at A Base by herself."



Liang Yan frowned.



"Yuan Ting, the leader of A Base, doesn’t have long to live, meaning A Base will soon be in chaos. It really isn’t a wise choice for her to stay there."



"Zhen’er, you go wake Zhang Yao Xue and Jiang Yue Bai up. We’re going to get going right away."



Nie Zhen'er nodded and went into the room to call them.



Luan Qing Xiao probed, "How did you get out? And with a car too."



Liang Yan chortled and explained triumphantly, "I made myself a metal mask when I was held trapped. Tonight, I knocked Da Hu Zi out and put the metal mask on him. Since we are about the same physique,  I stuck on a fake beard and snuck out, posing as him."



"Captain is really amazing." Luan Qing Xiao praised him.



"No big deal." Liang Yan was probably really proud, since he seemed to be inflated with ego.



【Ding! The male lead's blackening value has dropped to 80%! When the blackening value of the male lead drops to zero, the male lead will abandon his previous suspicions. His spirit will return to his original world and no longer follow Host to the next world! 】



Luan Qing Xiao: What an unexpected joy.



It seems like she’ll have to start lying more frequently in the future.



After Zhang Yao Xue and Jiang Yue Bai followed Nie Zhen'er out, they were pleasantly surprised to see Liang Yan, "Captain, I thought you were abandoning us--" Jiang Yue Bai wailed, crying.



Liang Yan hurriedly clarified, "I was trapped.  How can I ignore my dear team members? Let’s stop crying first, wait until the next stop then you can cry to your heart’s content. Hop in the car."



Jiang Yue Bai immediately retracted the tears in her eyes. She couldn't help but say, "Who wants to cry when they’re happy? I’m going to burst into laughter instead."



With Liang Yan’s return, X Squadron seemed to have regained its backbone and the expressions on the members’ faces turned much more relaxed.



Once inside the car, Jiang Yue Bai suddenly commented, "A five-seater car is just right."



Zhang Yao Xue added, "It's just a pity the supplies were left in Luo Zi Lin's place."



Liang Yan comforted, "Since we have all come out, are you guys still afraid of not finding more supplies? Everyone has their own choice, I just hope Luo Zi Lin won’t regret it later on."



The destination of Liang Yan's trip was B Base. The leader of B Base is a man, who used to be a soldier. His reputation was pretty decent and there should be no recurrence of what happened at A Base again. They’ll be heading there first to gather news and information. Once they were sure that no one in A Base was hunting them down, they would leave.



After a full day and night of driving, they finally arrived at the famed righteous B Base.



The rules in B Base and A Base were different. Here you have to turn in all the materials you owned, in which half of it will be returned once they stayed a full ten days here at B Base.



Fortunately, most of the crystal nuclei on them were used in upgrading their skills. In the end, they surrender a total of 30 nuclei along with the car they drove in.



While Liang Yan was filling in their information, Nie Zhen'er asked curiously, "How is the car going to be split?"



The appraising officer was a lean man and said with a smile, "The car will be returned to you as it is. You guys struck a bargain this time. Five people handing over 30 nuclei, and you even get half back after ten days. It’s definitely a steal."



"Miss, what is your name? How old are you? Do you have a boyfriend?" The appraising officer took a few more glances at Nie Zhen'er and probed.
