Chapter 128 Searching
During the meal, no one said much, except for a few polite words when toasting each other.
Xie Yu doesn't drink alcohol, but Commander Zhong and Li Yan still managed to get her to drink a few cups of sweet wine.
But just a few glasses of sweet wine with almost no alcohol content were enough to make her cheeks flushed, her eyes watery and unfocused, and she swayed uncontrollably.
But she seemed to like the taste, and later, without anyone else persuading her, she even wanted to drink it herself.
Xie Lei, still worried, placed her on his shoulder and wouldn't let her drink another drop of wine.
Commander Zhong swallowed a few times and suggested, "Miss Xie's alcohol tolerance isn't very high. The base commander has guest rooms here, why don't we let her rest first? Shall we continue?"
Seeing his ill-intentioned gaze, Xie Lei darkened his eyes and refused, "No need, my sister isn't feeling well, we'll take her back first."
Commander Zhong said with dissatisfaction, "Huh? You're leaving already? You've only had a few drinks! You haven't had enough fun yet, how can you leave like this!"
Xie Zhuo quickly said, "We'll have many more opportunities in the future, let's call it a day."
The base commander thought for a moment and then made a decision: "Alright, you've just arrived, so you really should get some rest. But since you're here, you should participate in the base's construction. Tomorrow, there's a mission to find supplies. Miss Xie isn't feeling well, so she can rest for the day. You two will be going with her."
Xie Lei frowned. "My sister stayed behind by herself?"
The base commander grunted, "Hmm?" "Aren't you worried about security at our base?"
Sensing the base commander's subtle displeasure, "Xie Zhuo" quickly said, "Don't worry, don't worry, my brother is a doting brother. He worries if he can't see his sister for even a moment. Please forgive him."
“I understand. Then we’ll wait for Chen Chen to call you tomorrow.”
"Yes, Base Commander, Commander Zhong, Young Master Huo, Miss Li, Captain Chen, see you later."
After Xie Zhuo finished speaking, Xie Lei greeted the group, then picked up Xie Yu and, led by Chen Chen, left the base chief's house.
He declined Chen Chen's offer to see him off at the door and strode back to his new home.
......
As soon as they got home, Chi Heng carried Yu Yao straight to the bedroom and put her on the bed. He took off her delicate high heels and tucked her into the blankets.
Changing clothes was something Chi Heng wouldn't dare do...
However, she knew that Yu Yao had a space to rest, and this bed...
There's nothing we can do about it, so be it.
A few minutes later, the already dim light inside Yu Yao's bed curtains suddenly went out, as seen in the surveillance footage.
Then Xie Lei quietly got out of bed and carefully tidied up the bed curtains!
After Xie Lei left, he first went to Xie Zhuo's room and told him to go to sleep while he was still reading.
He then returned to his room, quickly washed up, and lay back down on the bed.
After a dozen minutes, the small building where the Xie siblings lived fell into complete silence.
Apart from the unseen "Xie Yu".
Xie Lei and Xie Zhuo both fell into a deep sleep and remained motionless.
Of course, these are all images modified by the Sky-Covering Stone.
In fact, after putting Yu Yao back on the bed, Chi Heng jumped out of the window and disappeared.
......
In a dark, dark corner, Chi Heng used the Thousand Illusion Mask to transform into an extremely inconspicuous man.
They secretly sneaked into every house in the villa area under the cover of night.
After spending half the night searching but finding nothing, he secretly brought Luo Mei in and infiltrated the base chief's house.
He was drugged and his soul was searched.
Unfortunately, he was just a puppet base commander. Although he knew there was a research institute, he didn't know its exact location.
His only purpose is to ensure the research institute continuously supplies superhumans!
waste!
After seeing Luo Mei off, Chi Heng deliberately revealed his whereabouts.
He pretended to be a drunkard wandering around in the middle of the night and was chased by the guards for quite a while before being caught.
Finally, they were blindfolded and dragged into a basement located between the inner and outer city.
Clearly, this is a prison where the guards detain offenders.
He was so drunk he was almost unconscious, and the guards had no choice but to lock him up in a cell and prepare to interrogate him again the next morning.
However, as soon as the guards left, Chi Heng immediately used his metal-based supernatural ability to dissolve the iron locks and escaped.
They then used the same chaotic spiritual power to obscure the surveillance cameras and quietly searched each cell.
Unfortunately, they still couldn't find any trace of Lei Xuanqing.
It seems he wasn't imprisoned here.
Chi Heng lowered his eyes, as if he were walking in his own living room.
They left the so-called prison with ease.
......
The next morning, the Wushan base posted an arrest warrant.
Looking for a level 2 metal-type ability user.
They also posted a portrait, so accurate that even Chi Heng himself couldn't help but exclaim in amazement when he saw it.
However, the three of them did not discuss the matter for too long. They only mentioned it a few times out of curiosity and then waited patiently for Chen Chen's arrival.
A short while later, Chen Chen came to call Xie Lei and Xie Zhuo to assemble.
Xie Yu had no choice but to go back to her room, remove her disguise, and continue sleeping.
......
In the morning, the door of the small building was knocked on again.
Yu Yao quickly transformed into the appearance of "Xie Yu," wearing a conservative white long nightgown and going barefoot to open the door.
The visitors were Li Yanyi and Huo Zheng.
Huo Zheng's gaze lingered for a moment on Xie Yu's fair feet and pink toes.
He then smiled and said, "Miss Xie, even though the weather is hot now, you shouldn't walk barefoot. Cold enters from the feet, and it's easy to get sick."
Xie Yu exclaimed in surprise, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm so sorry, I rushed here when I heard the knock and forgot to get dressed. Please come in and sit down for a bit, I'll go change my clothes, okay?"
"Of course, no need to rush, we'll wait for you."
Okay, thank you!
After saying that, Xie Yu quickly took small steps and ran upstairs.
Upon seeing this, Huo Zheng chuckled softly, his eyes full of amusement.
Li Yan raised an eyebrow and teased, "What? You've got your eye on someone?"
Huo Zheng was stunned for a moment.
"What are you talking about!"
"Stop pretending, I can see right through you~ But I advise you, don't get too involved. Didn't you see the look in Zhong Sixiong's eyes last night? This little white rabbit will be Zhong Sixiong's meal sooner or later. Do you think you can compete with him?"
A dark glint flashed in Huo Zheng's gentle eyes, and he sneered, "That's their business, it has nothing to do with me. I was just following Uncle Li's instructions to take her to exchange some supplies."
Li Yan chuckled.
You'd better think of it that way...
"..."
Five minutes later, Xie Yu, dressed neatly, jogged downstairs and asked Huo Zheng with slightly flushed cheeks, "Young Master Huo, what brings you here?"
Huo Zheng replied, "There's nothing particularly important. It's just that the base commander, considering you're new here and don't have any base points, asked us to help you get a base points card and provided you with 100 points to exchange for supplies."
Xie Yu's face lit up with joy, revealing a flattered smile.
"Really? But we didn't do anything, and everyone says you can't accept something for nothing..."
"Don't worry too much. You three siblings are so outstanding. Your future contributions to the base will definitely exceed these 100 points. Don't feel guilty."
Huo Zheng's persuasion made Xie Yu's expression much more relaxed. After thinking for a moment, she nodded and agreed.
"That's great! We're running low on supplies, so these 100 points are really important. Thank you, thank you, base commander."
"Don't mention it. Do you have time now? If you're free, Yan Yi and I can take you to the exchange to exchange for some supplies."
"If you have time, then I'll trouble you two."
Xie Yu smiled sweetly, clean and sunny, just like a pure white lily that had just bloomed, beautiful without any flaws.
Huo Zheng's eyes darkened for a moment.
He then chuckled softly and gestured for them to proceed.
