Chapter 82: Chapter 82 Undercover Plan

“Senior?”

Ji Wanwan called out worriedly.

Xu Siming did not respond.

“Senior!!”

Ji Wanwan’s throat tightened, and she raised her voice. Everyone present, except Xia Li, subconsciously stood up, looking at Xu Siming with concern and caution.

“Buzz—”

A faint red energy wave rippled around Xu Siming, and then he lifted his head, revealing his crimson eyes.

This time, the energy overflow and the corpse-like eyes made Ji Wanwan’s heart sink abruptly.

It was that evil feeling of the Baize Union!

Suddenly, Xu Siming moved.

The next second, Wu Xun only felt a blur before his eyes. Xia Li, who had been sitting calmly, suddenly erupted. With lightning speed, she dove beside Xu Siming and chopped down hard with the edge of her hand, taking Xu Siming down.

Poor Xu Siming didn’t even have the time to groan before he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

Wu Xun was dumbstruck.

Others: “…a moment of silence for three seconds…”

Regaining their composure and seeing the trace of blood at the corner of Xu Siming’s mouth, Ji Xing tremulously reached out a hand, stammering, “Sis-sis-sister!”

Ji Wanwan: “?”

“Sister Li chopped down Brother Siming with a hand blade!!!”

With Ji Xing’s voice breaking, Ji Wanwan followed his gesture and looked over, her heart immediately leaping to her throat.

“Senior?!”

Ji Wanwan’s vision darkened, and she sprinted to Xu Siming’s side.

Qi Hao, shocked silly, moved his lips and uttered in awe: “Holy shit…”

After checking with Equivalence Healing and confirming Xu Siming was not seriously harmed, Ji Wanwan let out a huge sigh of relief, lifted Xu Siming’s jaw, and checked where the blood came from.

When she saw the small cut on the tip of Xu Siming’s tongue, Ji Wanwan was silent.

What was this kid doing?

Attempting suicide by biting his tongue?

It was just Corpse Transformation, wasn’t it?

It really wasn’t necessary, not at all!

Wu Xun, who had been out of the loop, couldn’t help but ask, “What’s going on? Is he really dead?”

A Level 10 Water Elemental Superpower big shot, hey!

Isn’t this a bit too hasty??

Ji Xing waved his hand: “My sister is so calm it means Brother Siming is fine. Don’t worry, sit down, everybody just take a seat.”

Wu Xun: “?? Huh?”

Ji Wanwan, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, placed her hand on Xu Siming’s shoulder and silently healed him with Equivalence Healing.

As Xu Siming gradually regained consciousness, he only felt as if his neck was broken, so much pain that he wanted to die.

In reality, he didn’t die from the pain. Instead, it caused him to jolt and wake up.

Opening his eyes and meeting Ji Wanwan’s gaze, Xu Siming felt bewildered for a moment.

The next second, Ji Wanwan gave a sweet smile, “Awake? Okay then, let’s continue the meeting!”

Xu Siming: “?” Are you being polite?

Wu Xun: “?” Why does this all feel so chaotic?

Settling back into her seat, Ji Wanwan cleared her throat: “The theory that consuming small blood pearls leads to Corpse Transformation has been confirmed, so let’s consider this topic concluded.

As for whether small blood pearls can hinder zombies, let’s have the Corpse Hunting Team take a couple and try them out later to find out.”

“Let’s move on to the next agenda item,” said Ji Wanwan as she slowly raised her eyelids to look at Wu Xun, who felt a lump in his throat and was suddenly at a loss for words.

He was already confused, but her gaze made him feel as though his toes were digging into the ground.

Just as Wu Xun was about to be completely overwhelmed, Ji Wanwan spoke up, “We know far too little about the Baize Union, so I have an idea…”

Wu Xun instinctively felt this had something to do with him. “What idea?”

A faint smile played on Ji Wanwan’s lips as she suggested, “An undercover plan.”

Wu Xun’s throat tightened, “You want me to go back to the Baize Union as an undercover agent?”

Before Ji Wanwan could reply, he shook his head with a wry smile, “After what happened last night, how could Baize ever continue to trust me.”

“Hey!” Ji Wanwan glared at Wu Xun with a hint of reproach, “Brother Wu, do you really think I would be so foolish?”

Embarrassed, Wu Xun touched his head, “No, that’s not what I mean…”

But with the look on Ji Wanwan’s face, it was so easy for him to think that way!

Ji Wanwan was exasperated by his visibly uneasy demeanor.

She couldn’t help but curl her lips slightly, “Brother Wu, can those brothers of yours be trusted?”

Wu Xun was slightly taken aback, then immediately grasped Ji Wanwan’s meaning.

At the mention of these brothers with whom he had faced life and death, he straightened up, his voice becoming firm, “Of course! Every one of my brothers can be trusted!”

Even Tian Yu, who had turned into a monstrous creature, a lapdog for Baize, had never betrayed or harmed his brothers!

Each of them had a bond with him deeper than life itself! Every single one was trustworthy!

Ji Wanwan looked him straight in the eye, and asked, “Then what about you, Brother Wu? Do you want to avenge your wife, and can we trust you?”

Wu Xun was visibly startled, and his eyes began to redden, “I… of course, I want to avenge Xiao Hui…”

The memory of Su Hui’s voice and smile was still fresh in his mind. How could Wu Xun not want vengeance?

Suddenly, his gaze became determined, “Lord Ji, what do you want me to do?”

Ji Wanwan smiled slightly, “What you need to do is very simple…”

…

In order to ensure the safety of Wu Xun’s brothers, they discussed the undercover plan for the entire day and finally settled on a relatively complex but much safer scheme.

After the last item on the agenda was finished, Ji Wanwan organized a group dinner at a restaurant in the Inner City.

Seeing all the sumptuous food, Wu Xun fell silent for a while, his mood so heavy that the food lost all its flavor.

If only Xiao Hui were still alive…

He shook his head, dismissing the thought from his mind, and with tears in his eyes, he packed a portion to take back to the dormitory for Yinyin.

After everyone had their fill, they dispersed to rest.

Just before they left, Ji Wanwan suddenly called out to Wen Yuheng, “Brother Wen, I have some errands to run in the Outer City. Let’s go together.”

Wen Yuheng was slightly puzzled and instinctively looked at Wu Xun.

Wu Xun was heading the same way, and under normal circumstances, they would walk back to the dormitory together.

Hearing what Ji Wanwan said, Wu Xun assumed Ji Wanwan had taken a liking to Wen Yuheng and, very perceptively, bid farewell before striding off.

Seeing Wu Xun’s reaction, Ji Wanwan couldn’t help but curve her lips, finding him to be genuinely interesting—at times endearingly naive, at others, quite sly.

On their way to the Outer City, Ji Wanwan asked about Xiao Lu’s current condition.

Learning that Xiao Lu was recovering well, only suffering some not too serious external injuries that still required convalescence, Ji Wanwan nodded in relief, “That’s good to hear.”

Turning to more pressing matters, she smoothly transitioned the conversation, “Now that Xiao Lu is healing and can look after himself, have you thought about staying and doing something, contributing to the base, while also exchanging for living supplies?”

Wen Yuheng couldn’t possibly refuse the offer of a place to stay.

He immediately agreed, “Of course!”

Ji Wanwan gave a slight nod, “Good, I have a task for you. If you complete it, you’ll get this amount…”
