Chapter 2664

Zhou Kun fell silent after hearing Yan Aohan’s words. Indeed, he had not originally intended to go; he only wanted to prove a point. But now, realizing that staying away would only benefit those enemies, he said, "I’ll go. Superman, let’s get the equipment and return tomorrow."

Superman An Guinong’s injuries had fully healed, so he was ready for the mission.

Zhu Yanyi reminded them, "Remember to disguise yourselves. If you return to report the mission looking so clean, people will suspect something. Even though you lost five brothers, your pristine appearance will raise doubts. Disguising is necessary."

Zhou Kun and her team were not foolish. They understood Zhu Yanyi’s hint immediately.

They had stayed at the Suiyuan Pharmacy for several days, sheltered by Zhu Yanyi and her husband. Their wounds had healed, and since the house had plenty of water, they bathed daily. Everyone looked fresh and spirited. If they appeared like this, no one would believe they had survived a disaster.

Zhu Yanyi added, "I have studied the Level Five Zombie’s corpse enough. You can take it with you. Claim that a passing expert killed it, but you brought back the evidence. Demand an explanation from them. This way, even if you leave in anger, they won’t be able to stop you."

Hearing this, Zhou Kun and her team understood completely. Zhu Yanyi had planned their safe exit for them.

"Thank you, Sister-in-law. We won’t stand on ceremony," Zhou Kun said. In this era, being polite often meant suffering losses, so they could not afford to be overly polite.

Zhu Yanyi waved her hand. "No need to be polite. Being polite only hurts you."

In this time, politeness was unnecessary. Those who survived were rarely polite.

After disguising themselves, Zhou Kun and his team took the Level Five Zombie’s corpse, mementos of their fallen brothers, and some collected machinery into the Safe Base.

When they threw the zombie’s corpse into the base’s mission hall, everyone who gathered gasped.

"Captain Zhou, did you kill this Level Five Zombie?" Chen Shuai, the base commander, asked.

"No. A Level Five Zombie, a mental-type one. Do you think we have that ability? Look at the zombie. It was killed by another expert. A passing expert saved us, but we lost five comrades before he arrived. Commander, you must give us an explanation."

Zhou Kun looked at Chen Shuai calmly. The other four members also stared coldly at the crowd.

People knew the Haiblan Team. Though their name seemed casual, their members were united. Now, due to improper investigation, they had lost five brothers. This debt would not be easily settled.

"The investigation of this area was handled by the Nanfeng Team. They failed to detect the Level Five Zombie. That is their negligence. The Nanfeng Team must provide an explanation," Chen Shuai quickly found a scapegoat.

Zhou Kun watched Chen Shuai play his role as commander. Others might not know, but Zhou Kun did. Chen Shuai’s current wife was a member of the Nanfeng Team. That was why the Nanfeng Team was so arrogant; Chen Shuai supported them.

"Three days. I expect results in three days," Zhou Kun said softly. "If there is no result in three days, we will leave this Safe Base."

Zhou Kun was not threatening; he was stating a fact. "Superman, go collect the mission reward. It is what we deserve. Take it today."

Since they were in the wrong, others could not stop them. Superman collected the supplies smoothly.

Three days passed. Zhou Kun and his four brothers returned to ask for results. As expected, Chen Shuai said the Nanfeng Team had not returned from their mission.

"Not back?" Zhou Kun sneered. "Three days is enough to contact them. We only want an explanation. If the Nanfeng Team doesn’t come, can’t you make decisions? It seems this Safe Base no longer suits our Haiblan Team." Zhou Kun paused. "No, it’s not that it doesn’t suit us. It’s that they don’t need us anymore. We have already packed our bags. Brothers, let’s go."

The Safe Base was just a shelter for异能者 (ability users) and others. People were free to come and go. No one could restrict their freedom. So, when the Haiblan Team decided to leave, Chen Shuai tried to stop them but failed.

At that moment, he felt he had made a mistake. With the Haiblan Team gone, the Safe Base lost a very strong team.

Indeed, the Haiblan Team played a major role in the Safe Base. Every member was an ability user, and their mission completion rate was very high. Even if Chen Shuai and the Nanfeng Team were relatively quiet, Chen Shuai knew that the Haiblan Team was superior. Now, this team was leaving in anger.

Thinking of this, Chen Shuai felt he should try to keep them. He hurried out to chase them but did not catch up until the city gate.

Since they decided to leave, Zhou Kun and his team did not pretend to hesitate. This place had disappointed them. Since they were disappointed, staying was meaningless. Leaving quickly was their best action.

Leaving the center of the Safe Base, they exited directly, giving no one time to react.

When the Haiblan Team left, Chen Shuai assumed they went to a nearby Safe Base. But after contacting other bases, he found they had not appeared. It seemed the Haiblan Team had disappeared.

The remaining five members of the Haiblan Team had returned to the Suiyuan Pharmacy.

Seeing their expressionless faces, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan knew they had gotten their answer.

"Big Brother, Sister-in-law, we are disturbing you again," Zhou Kun said seriously. "We will likely disturb you for a while."

"Come in," Yan Aohan said directly. "The Suiyuan Pharmacy is not easily found by just anyone. The fact that you found it means you have fate with the pharmacy. So, don’t say you are disturbing us. This is your fate."
