Wenrenlei turned her head and looked over. Liao Xingwei was standing at the door, his hand on the door panel, breathing rapidly, his chest heaving violently.

The crown prince was still wearing the same coat he wore when he arrived at the base. He was much thinner than before, his face was pale, and his lips were dry and cracked. He looked like he had been completely drained.

Wenren Lei couldn't help but suspect that this Crown Prince had probably used all the points he earned to help others. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Young Master Liao, haven't you learned how to knock?"

Liao Xingwei swallowed hard, catching his breath, and said, "Sorry, I'm in a bit of a rush." ​​He turned his gaze to Wenren Yu, "Ah... Base Commander, I'd like to take on this bounty mission."

Wenren Yu glanced at him, sat back in her chair, and said indifferently, "The dispatch department should have already written the acceptance conditions very clearly."

Liao Xingwei was momentarily speechless: "I understand, but..."

"No buts." Wenren Yu interrupted him. "Liao Xingwei, this is the rule in District 11. If you can't accept it, you can go back to the Alliance."

Liao Xingwei paused for two seconds, then clenched his fist: "Why do you keep trying to get rid of me? You know perfectly well that I... like you..."

As he finished speaking, his voice grew softer and softer.

Wenren Lei blinked and whispered to Fu Yan, "Does this count as a confession?"

Fu Yan nodded slightly.

Wenren Lei glanced at Gu Zhengming, whose face was even blacker than the bottom of a pot.

Wenren Yu curled her lips and said coldly, "Give up on that idea as soon as possible. I prefer more mature men."

The mature man, Gu Zhengming, straightened his back instantly.

Liao Xingwei lowered his head, his voice even softer than before: "Okay, I'm going back now."

He looked dejected and turned to leave.

Gu Zhengming stared at his retreating figure, hesitant to speak, before finally blurting out, "Are you heading back to the Alliance? Should I see you off?"

Liao Xingwei had already left the conference room, his voice drifting back from afar: "Back to the residential area."

"Tsk." Gu Zhengming frowned slightly. "What a pity."

Wenren Lei glanced at Gu Zhengming with disdain, thinking, "What a childish guy."

Having watched the excitement, he planned to go back to the courtyard to prepare before setting off: "Brother, I'm going back."

Wenren Yu nodded: "Be careful in everything you do outside."

"understood."

Wenren Lei and Fu Yan walked out of the conference room side by side, with the sound of conversation faintly coming from behind them.

"Wenren Yu, am I the mature man you're talking about?"

"Where have you matured?"

"I'm thoroughly familiar with everything. You need to check it out, otherwise I'm afraid you'll think I'm bragging."

"roll."

Fu Yan raised his hand to cover Wenren Lei's ears: "Not suitable for children."

Although Wenren Lei usually tries to portray herself as a soybean, she hadn't learned about this particular segment yet, and asked in confusion, "Why is it inappropriate?"

Fu Yan chuckled and snuggled closer to Wenren Lei: "Your husband is ripe too."

Wenren Lei froze, his shapely buttocks being attacked. He widened his eyes in shock: "Damn, Fu Yan, are you in heat?"

Fu Yan slowly pressed forward: "The first word."

"Get out of here too!" Wenren Lei quickened her pace and moved away from this devil.

The blizzard outside showed no signs of abating by the afternoon.

With no time to wait, the A1-V set off with 10G and its crew in visibility of less than a meter.

The search for the unknown Corpse King was originally a heavy and dangerous task.

But this was the first time the entire team had gone on a mission together, and the atmosphere in the carriage was far from dull; everyone was even a little excited.

The group sat around the carpet discussing how to maximize their abilities should they encounter the Corpse King.

Wenren Lei slumped on the sofa, taking the opportunity to adopt the air of a senior, and said in a cryptic tone, "A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger."

The lively discussion paused for a moment as everyone turned to look at Wenren Lei.

Yi Yang spoke first: "Brother, please take me with you!"

Wenren Lei squinted and said with disdain, "I'm really impressed by you."

Meng Fan said, "Don't worry, boss, we might not even encounter the Corpse King."

Wenren Lei propped herself up, lying on her side, and said, "Old Meng has a point. Our main objective on this trip is to bring back the crystal core generator technology. If we really run into the Corpse King, everyone remember to play it safe and develop stealthily."

"Don't worry, boss."

"clear!"

Wenren Lei was very satisfied and waved his hand, saying, "Meeting adjourned."

The carriage became bustling and lively again.

Fu Yan sat to the side listening, a smile playing on his lips. The way his Leilei earnestly instructed her teammates was rather adorable.

Wenren Lei lay down on Fu Yan's lap, took out a satellite phone from her pocket, and pressed the buttons rapidly: "Call Huang Yijie again. What's wrong with that blondie? I hate passive-aggressive behavior the most."

The call connected, but all that could be heard was a looping ringtone. The call ended automatically, and Huang Yijie didn't answer.

He put down the phone and said, "Could something really have happened?"

Fu Yan said, "We are heading towards Lightrail City now. Once we get there, we'll go check out the Cloud Map Base."

"Okay." Wenren Lei stared at the roof, her eyes vacant, a hint of unease creeping over her.

Just then, the satellite phone rang.

Wenren Lei thought it was Huang Yijie calling him back, so he immediately answered: "Good buddy, you finally decided to talk to me?"

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a steady, middle-aged male voice: "So, I'm now your good buddy?"

Wenren Lei raised an eyebrow, took the phone away to glance at the caller ID, and put the receiver back to her ear: "Old Liu, you've come at just the right time."

Liu Bingzheng paused, then asked, "You sound so anxious, whose call are you waiting for?"

Wenren Lei said, "A friend of mine has gone missing, and I was just planning to go see him while I'm searching for the Corpse King."

Liu Bingzheng said, "I knew you would be involved in this region-wide bounty. I called to remind you that once you discover the Corpse King, do not act rashly. This is no joke. You must wait for the main force to arrive and provide support."

Wenren Lei glanced at her companions on the carpet and thought to herself, "If my squad is even equipped like this, we still can't defeat the Corpse King. If other bases send more people, they'll just be throwing their lives away."

If they encounter the Corpse King, he doesn't plan to send coordinates to other teams to gather. The battle would be too chaotic, and it wouldn't be good if Fu Yan's identity were exposed as a result.

Wenren Lei casually replied over the phone, "Okay, I'll definitely beg you for help while I'm crying."

Liu Bingzheng was too lazy to listen to this person's tearful ramblings anymore, and said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense and remember what I said."

Wenren Lei replied casually, "I understand."

"Also," Liu Bingzheng's voice deepened, "there's something I need to remind you of, it might sound harsh, but I hope you'll take it to heart."

"you say."
