"Captain, Lu Ji's origins are unknown. Do we really want her to return to the base with us?"

The sound is very faint, but the person talking can hear it clearly.

Night falls, the moon and stars are dim.

A bonfire was burning on the ground. Everyone else was resting in a makeshift tent. It was Yan Lei and Qin Ran's turn to stand guard.

Yan Lei remained silent, the light from the dancing flames reflected in his dark eyes, dancing continuously.

"Her origins are full of loopholes." Qin Ran said in a low voice with worry, "The shortest distance from the Quicksand Base to here is several thousand kilometers. There are zombies and strange beasts, poor mountains and bad waters along the way, and it is full of dangers. How could she have survived all these difficulties and come here alone?"

"Even if what she said is true, I don't believe that a powerful person would come here just to look for her ex-fiancé."

She glanced at the milky-colored tent where Ji Yan lived. They had built it according to Ji Yan's description, after they found her suitcase among the ruins. Ji Yan took it out of the suitcase and set it up.

"The most important thing is her attire. In the end times, especially in the middle of summer, she is still wandering around outside in a windbreaker and stuffy boots. Her clothes are brand new, as if they just came out of the factory, without any signs of being torn or worn."

Seeing that Yan Lei still didn't respond to her, Qin Ran anxiously reached out to hold his uninjured left hand and shook it.

"Captain, say something!"

Yan Lei said slowly: "Wu Di has taken a fancy to her and will not let her go no matter what."

"Just like those women before, no matter how much they struggled when they came, in the end..."

"She came from an unknown place, so she deserves attention, but we just need to be vigilant on the road."

"Don't forget, when we get to Danyang, it's the world of... "

He looked up at the full moon hanging high in the sky. Its bright light made people feel uneasy.

"No matter how powerful she is, she can't escape."

Qin Ran also fell silent.

She withdrew her hand and sat down with her legs hugged.

The summer night was cool and pleasant, but at this moment she felt cold all over.

She really thought it was all disgusting...

"Control your emotions."

Yan Lei looked at her increasingly paler face and reminded her.

"Don't forget it." He tapped his head gently, "Think about everything your sister has done for you. Don't end up like Sun Su and the others."

"Is she still my sister?"

Tan Ran asked softly, just like she had asked countless times before, the only difference was probably that there was less and less emotion in the question.

Unconsciously, she seemed to have begun to get used to it all.

"Of course, you will always be blood-related sisters."

Yan Lei comforted her, answering the same question he had answered countless times before, there was no difference.

Ji Yan, who was sleeping in the tent, turned over and became more and more interested in the Danyang base.

She wanted to see who could not escape from whom.

……

They traveled for two days without any accidents and finally returned to the Danyang base.

It was noon now, and the scorching sun was hanging high in the sky, making people feel exhausted.

Ji Yan, carrying a black suitcase, glanced casually at the majestic walls of the base, took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

The white city wall is estimated to be more than 30 meters high. Unlike the Chenfeng base, the city wall here does not seem to be built with materials such as bricks and concrete. It does not have the sense of layering. Instead, it is more like a whole material "standing upright" here, with no gaps except for the entrances and exits.

There are four entrances at the wide gate, and there is a long queue at each entrance.

The team was arranged in an "S" shape, and the person at the front looked only as tall as the nail of his index finger to Ji Yan, who was at the very back.

According to Wu Di, the Danyang base has four gates in the east, west, south and north, and they are now at the east gate of the base.

Thanks to Wu Di, the nephew of the base commander, they did not need to wait in line and could walk directly to the inspectors for inspection.

Ji Yan noticed that the other people in the queue had basically no special emotions towards Wu Di and his friends' privileged behavior. The most obvious action was just to look up at Wu Di and his friends, and then lowered their heads and waited.

This is very unusual.

Take the society where she lived more than 500 years ago. Ordinary behavior of queue-jumping would be morally condemned by the masses, not to mention this blatant act of privilege.

That will make the front page of social media headlines!

It is impossible for the times to fall further behind as they develop.

Moreover, at the previous Chenfeng base, Yao Xue and her friends had many complaints about the biased behavior of the base chief of Chenfeng.

Why is it so weird now?

The inspection process is very short, with three inspections in total.

The first inspection was to hand over supplies and check for scratches and bites on exposed skin.

Ji Yan saw three people from the team come out and follow the inspector to the warehouse.

He should be a user with space-related abilities.

The second inspection was conducted separately for men and women. They had to undress in the room and check if they were carrying any prohibited items.

"Hello, could you please open your suitcase and check if there are any prohibited items inside according to regulations."

The young woman in the uniform smiled and spoke politely.

"of course can."

Ji Yan stretched out the thumb of her right hand and pressed it into the groove on the closing part of the suitcase.

A synthesized electronic female voice said: "The password is correct, unlocked."

The young woman put on white gloves and sprayed some disinfectant on the gloves. But in just a few seconds, the liquid evaporated without a trace.

She opened the safe and began to look through it: five sets of clothing (shirts, coats, pants, socks), five pairs of high boots, a tent, two packets of compressed biscuits, a bottle of iced black tea, two packets of sanitary napkins, two rolls of toilet paper, two umbrellas, a tablecloth, and a gun that looked strange to a young woman.

Each item is packed in a separate bag and placed in the suitcase.

The young woman checked quickly. When she saw the gun, she hesitated for a moment, took it out and asked Ji Yan: "Excuse me, what is this..."

"Laser gun."

The young woman looked at the "gun" with a puzzled look. The name sounded very much like the name of a fictional gun in some science fiction novels. She paused and said, "I'm sorry, the 'laser gun' is not among the weapons that residents are allowed to possess..."

"Wu Di said yes."

The young woman was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, I didn't remember it clearly."

"It doesn't matter." Ji Yan said shamelessly, "I think you work very hard. This is a special case. After all..."

She blinked, "...I don't think you've ever seen this type of gun from anyone else."

The young woman smiled and said, "Thank you for your support and understanding."

The third check is to detect the superpowers and changes in superpowers.

Ji Yan was the last one to come out for the second examination, so she was also quite late in the queue for the third examination.

Why do you say it is at the back?

Because the last one is Wu Di.

Ji Yan was too lazy to pay attention to this guy who had been pestering her for several days.

Once she enters the Danyang base, she must find an opportunity to kill this guy.

The people standing in front of Ji Yan all looked pale and listless.

Ji Yan carefully discovered that there were needle holes on someone's wrist.

Did they collectively inject some kind of drug?

Ji Yan turned her head and glanced at Wu Di, who also looked unhappy.

But it was obvious that he was sulking because she ignored him.

Could it be that the top brass at Danyang Base are using some kind of drug to control the people within the base?

A plot from a famous martial arts novel flashed quickly through Ji Yan's mind.

It seems a little outrageous.

Need more information.

Soon it was Ji Yan's turn.

Ji Yan looked at the machine that detected superpowers. It was blue-black, square, and flat. It was the size of two A4 papers put together along the long edge.

She recalled the conversation with Wu Di on the road.

Wu Di's attitude towards asking her to test her superpowers was unusually tough.

Just test it.

Ji Yan thought optimistically.

It’s just right that I can’t measure it.

It’s been measured.

At worst, she could just fight her way in.

"Wait a minute."

Ji Yan stopped the staff from pricking her finger with a disposable blood collection needle.

The young lady gave her a confused look.

Wu Di stood behind her with a distorted look on his face.

"Excuse me, will the blood used for testing be contaminated with saliva affect the test results?"

"It doesn't affect it." Although she didn't quite understand the purpose of her question, the female staff member still answered her question very seriously.

"Ok."

Ji Yan withdrew her hand, put her index finger into her mouth, and bit the center of her finger with her teeth closed.

She pulled out her finger and squeezed a large drop of blood into the test dish.

This operation really shocked the staff in front and Wu Di behind him.

Ji Yan defended herself: "I learned online novels when I was a child, please don't be offended."

The staff smiled awkwardly but politely and put the test dish into the machine.

The power detector responded immediately.

Its screen displays the detection information.
