In a frigid apocalypse, she fed her boyfriend until he became a zombie king.

After Huang Yiyun finished speaking, he and Lu Shen fell into a long silence.

Huang Yijie stamped his foot in frustration: "Say something!"

Huang Yiyun lowered his head and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "I traded half of the base's supplies for Lu Shen."

"And then?" Huang Yijie pressed.

Huang Yiyun said, "To redeem the purification ability users who have been drained of their value, in addition to supplies, they also need to consume a defective crystal core that has failed to be purified."

This crystal core won't increase my ability level, but it will make me develop zombie-like habits, requiring me to consume human flesh and blood to survive.

Huang Yijie was speechless for a moment, and after a long pause, he asked with difficulty, "So, you captured people in the base and ate them..."

"That's not how it is, Yijie," Lu Shen quickly interjected, "They both volunteered to donate blood, they just fainted."

Huang Yiyun said weakly, "I'm becoming more and more bloodthirsty. Their blood can't sustain me anymore." He paused for a long time, then looked up at Huang Yijie, "Yijie, you've grown up. I'm handing the base over to you. Take good care of everyone, and Xiao Shen."

Huang Yijie stood there dumbfounded, then stamped his foot: "Damn it! Can you stop making your last arrangements? That garbage research institute, can't we just go there and wipe it all out! We can bring back ten or eight researchers, I don't believe we can't cure you..."

"Yijie," Huang Yiyun interrupted him softly, "With the strength of our base, we simply cannot compete with the research institute. That's why I haven't dared to report this matter to the authorities. Our base has many elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people. If we were to be retaliated against by the remnants of the research institute, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Huang Yijie, panting heavily and shedding tears for a long time, choked out, "Isn't there any other way?"

"There's a way!!"

A voice suddenly broke the oppressive atmosphere in the basement.

Huang Yiyun's expression changed, and he immediately activated his supernatural power, shooting several sharp earth spikes at the ventilation louvers.

The water jet then flew out of the vent, knocking down the soil spikes one by one.

"Don't make a move, we're on the same side." Wenren Lei punched open the louvered window of the ventilation duct, poked half her head out, and smiled at the people below. "What a coincidence, everyone, I was just passing by for a walk."

Just as Huang Yiyun was about to launch another attack, Huang Yijie shouted to stop him: "Brother! Don't do it, he's my good buddy."

"That's right, that's right!" Wenren Lei jumped down from the vent with difficulty, swayed to the bedside to look at Lu Shen, "Sorry, I eavesdropped for a while."

Fu Yan lightly jumped down and stayed by Wenren Lei's side without leaving her for a moment.

Huang Yiyun looked at the two of them with wariness, and the supernatural power gathered in his hands had not yet dissipated.

Huang Yijie quickly rushed between the two, excitedly saying, "I knew it was you who helped me at the door!"

"You're too kind."

Huang Yijie turned to Huang Yiyun and introduced them: "These are Fu Yunyi and Yan Bao, who have recently joined our base. They are temporarily staying at Grandma Li's house."

Lu Shen looked at Wenren Lei and asked, "How is my grandmother?"

"Very good, very good. He can eat and sleep well, but he keeps mistaking people for others." Wenren Lei waved to Fu Yan, "Yan Bao, I think he can be cured."

Fu Yan shook his head helplessly and walked to Lu Shen's bedside, asking, "Do you need it?"

Huang Yiyun immediately answered for Lu Shen: "Yes, he needs to. He overdraws his powers, and his body is completely exhausted."

Fu Yan raised his hand and placed the gentle healing power over Lu Shen's head, saying calmly, "The person can recover, but the power cannot be preserved."

A gentle, continuous flow of energy entered his body, and Lu Shen's pale complexion gradually warmed up. He propped himself up on the bed, took a few steps, and said excitedly, "It's okay that my superpower is gone. Thank you, thank you for saving me."

Fu Yan nodded slightly.

Huang Yijie questioned, "What do you mean? Didn't you say he didn't have any superpowers?"

Wenren Lei gave a dry laugh and casually made up a lie: "Actually, we are the field team of District 1, and we have been investigating the Disaster Research Institute. Concealing our strength is just a temporary measure."

Huang Yijie stared wide-eyed and said, "Wow, that's impressive, bro. He's even a permanent staff member." The next second, he belatedly realized what was happening and quickly stepped in front of Huang Yiyun, "Yunyi, my brother, he, he..."

Wenren Lei adopted an official demeanor: "This, regarding your brother's matter, as long as he cooperates with us to find the research institute." He gestured around the basement, "These are nothing."

"Really?" Huang Yijie turned around and shook his brother's sleeve. "Brother, you'd better cooperate with them."

Huang Yiyun, her brows furrowed, slowly asked, "Are you really from District 1?"

Wenren Lei took out the ID card from Zone 1 and threw it into Huang Yiyun's hand: "Take a look for yourself."

This little card was given to him by Commander Liu, who said he would store the points he earned from completing tasks on the card so he could exchange them for items in Zone 1 later.

After carefully verifying the information on the identity card, Huang Yiyun handed it back to Wenren Lei and solemnly stated, "I can help you, but Yuntu Base cannot withstand retaliation."

Wenren Lei revealed his tiger teeth and smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of them."

It will be even cleaner than the official treatment.

Huang Yijie didn't stand on ceremony with Wenren Lei and asked, "Could you ask Yan Bao to save my brother while you're at it?"

Wenren Lei turned to look at Fu Yan: "Is it possible?"

Fu Yan said, "I don't know, we'll have to try."

Huang Yijie pushed Huang Yiyun in front of Fu Yan: "Yan Bao, Yan Bao, good luck!"

Fu Yan speculated that people who had used the crystal core needed to eat flesh and blood because the deeper viruses inside the crystal core had not been completely purified.

He raised his hand to activate his healing ability, secretly hiding the purification ability beneath the green energy wave, and slowly injected it into Huang Yiyun's body.

Huang Yiyun gradually felt the pain of the virus being purified and removed, and could no longer support herself, so she knelt on one knee on the ground.

Fu Yan slowly squatted down, it seemed he had guessed correctly.

This purification was not as easy as usual; it lasted for two whole hours before the crystal core virus in Huang Yiyun's body was completely purified.

Fu Yan slowly stood up, his figure slightly unsteady. Wenren Lei immediately stepped forward to support him: "Brother Yan, are you alright?"

Fu Yan wasn't actually particularly tired, but since Wenren Lei had asked him that, he said in a low voice, "My head is spinning."

Wenren Lei immediately patted her shoulder: "Come on, lean on me."

Fu Yan pressed down on his lips and buried his head weakly in Wenren Lei's shoulder.

However, if even his purification ability takes this long to completely eliminate the crystal core virus, then other purification ability users are even less likely to succeed.

The path of purifying crystal cores should never have existed in the first place.

Huang Yiyun looked down at himself. There was no change, but he could feel that he no longer had a morbid craving for human flesh and blood.

He bowed deeply to Wenren Lei and Fu Yan: "Thank you, I will cooperate with your actions."

Wenren Lei said, "You don't need to cooperate much, just give me the coordinates. Also, no matter who comes to ask in the future, you have to say you've never seen the two of us, including those in Zone 1."
