Chapter 80: Chapter 80: This is Possible

“So you suspect that Wen Yuheng is one of theirs?” Zhou Kai asked after a brief reflection, seizing the first key point.

Ji Wanwan nodded, “Yes, although I think it’s more likely a coincidence, we can’t overlook any detail that might threaten the safety of the base.”

Xia Li immediately stood up, “Charge! Kill him!”

Everyone: “…”

Ji Wanwan couldn’t help but laugh, “Ah Li, sit down first, let me finish.”

After Xia Li sat down, Ji Wanwan continued, “Regarding Wen Yuheng, I recommend that we keep a close watch on him but without his noticing. Who do you think can accomplish this?”

Everyone looked at each other and finally fixed their gaze on Ji Xing.

The person being stared at became restless, “No way, you guys? Isn’t there a mistake? I can’t do this! Better find someone else early!”

“OK!” Ji Wanwan ignored Ji Xing’s protest, “Xingxing is lively and can get close to Wen Yuheng by befriending him, which will serve the purpose of surveillance. Then it is settled.”

Ji Xing: “…”

She twiddled her fingertips, deciding to change the meeting format.

Previously, it had always been her leading the content of the meetings, without anyone really thinking seriously.

This time, she wanted everyone to learn to think, “Besides Wen Yuheng, does anyone have any other opinions about last night’s incident?”

Zhou Kai again offered his thoughts, “The people that Miss Ji saved last night are all Experimental People. Since we can’t be sure whether the Baize Union has experimented on them, I suggest we isolate them for observation for some time. After confirming they’re free from any issue, we can then let them move into regular dormitories. What does everyone think?”

Xu Siming nodded in agreement, “That’s a good idea.”

Qi Hao also found it feasible, “Then where should we isolate them? And should someone supervise them?”

Ji Xing thought for a moment then voiced her opinion, “There are many undeveloped areas in the base. How about we pick a large detached villa to place them in, and then have Sister Li watch over them?”

Xia Li, who was sipping pearls, lifted his head, waiting for Ji Wanwan’s directions.

The latter looked expectantly at her brother, “Oh? Why choose Ah Li to watch over them?”

Ji Xing curled the corners of her mouth, “Sister Li is a Zombie Hunter, right? She has a sharper judgment on mutated zombies and can detect at the first instance if something is off with any of those people.

Moreover, Sister Li is an indomitable demon. Besides her, do we have anyone else more suited for this task among us?”

Ji Wanwan chuckled, “Alright, then I’ll have 001 clean up a villa and later have Ah Li take them there to settle in.”

Ah Li earnestly nodded, “OK!”

At this point, Xu Siming also shared his thought, “Wanwan, I want to try the Water Crystal Core again to see if it produces that magical sensation.”

Ji Wanwan pursed her red lips without immediately agreeing.

Thinking of Tian Yu who had undergone Corpse Transformation next to Baize, Ji Wanwan felt worried.

If the senior also became addicted to the Crystal Core like those people from the Baize Union, it would be more harmful than beneficial.

She desired to become stronger and wished for everyone around her to grow stronger, but not in this way

Seeing her concerns, Xu Siming’s expression was resolute, “Wanwan, don’t worry, I know my limits. If something feels wrong, I’ll stop immediately. If I start to rave and lose my mind, you guys just knock me out!”

To ensure Ji Wanwan would agree, Xu Siming added another sentence, “Xiao Wan! Without entering the tiger’s den, how can one obtain the tiger’s cub? To achieve great things, someone must always charge ahead!”

His righteousness stirred something in Ji Wanwan’s heart. Finally, she took out a level 4 Water Crystal Core.

Just then, it turned 9 o’clock, and Wen Yuheng and Wu Xun had also arrived.

Earlier, Wen Yuheng had sent Xiao Lu to take care of and accompany Yinyin at Wu Xun’s dormitory, and he himself came to the Inner City with Wu Xun.

Seeing that several people were already sitting in the pavilion, Wu Xun couldn’t help but take a few more glances, but Wen Yuheng, having seen Ji Wanwan and her group meet before, remained relatively calm.

Wu Xun silently thought that the people seated here were probably the high-powered figures of the base.

Seeing them arrive, Ji Wanwan casually waved her hand, “Brother Wu, Brother Wen, find a place to sit.”

Once both men were seated, Ji Wanwan briefly introduced them, “This is Brother Wu Xun, whom I just mentioned to you. And this is Wen Yuheng. We’ve also come to know each other through a rough encounter.”

She then turned to Wu Xun and Wen Yuheng, “These are the members of my small team. I’ll formally introduce everyone:

My name is Ji Wanwan, the base lord. To my left is my younger brother, Ji Xing, a level 4 Gold Element Superpower User. Further to the left, respectively, are Xu Siming, a level 10 Water Element Superpower User, Qi Hao, a level 5 Earth Element Superpower User, Xia Li, a level 3 Zombie Hunter, and Zhou Kai, our non-superpower user combat peak.”

Zhou Kai: “…”

Thanks, but there’s really no need to add a ‘combat ceiling’ prefix—feels like I’m exceptionally weak…

Perhaps due to Zhou Kai’s mournful gaze, Qi Hao’s mouth twitched, almost bursting into laughter.

However, at this moment, Wen Yuheng and Wu Xun were focused elsewhere.

Wu Xun was more direct, “What is a Zombie Hunter?”

Xia Li popped the last taro ball into his mouth, contentedly squinting his eyes, “It’s someone who was bitten by a zombie, underwent a mutation, but didn’t fully transform.”

Ji Wanwan, who was trying to organize her words, said, “…”

With a facepalm, she chuckled, “Well, that’s not wrong, but it’s not important. You just need to know that a Zombie Hunter is a ruthless zombie reaper.”

The two men fell silent simultaneously.

Ji Wanwan continued, “Now that everyone’s acquainted, Brother Wu, Brother Wen, feel free to relax here. No need to be formal.

Before you arrived, we had already started a half-hour combat summary meeting, briefly discussing yesterday’s events at the underground gambling ring.

Since you are here, you might as well share your opinions on these matters. After this combat summary meeting, I have something to discuss with both of you.”

Wen Yuheng and Wu Xun felt somewhat honored.

This was a high-level meeting of the base, and they were just allowed to attend as outsiders with unclear backgrounds???!

Good gracious, the base lord is indeed too young, lacking social experience! Being so unguarded, sooner or later, she will be completely taken advantage of!

Having finished introducing everyone, Ji Wanwan then turned toward Xu Siming and handed him the Crystal Core, “Senior brother, start.”

As before, Xu Siming took the Crystal Core, placed it on his palm, and then stimulated the energy within his body to establish resonance with the Crystal Core.

“Buzz——”

The Crystal Core trembled lightly, emitting a faint blue glow, slowly burrowing into Xu Siming’s palm…
