Everyone was stunned by the words, and soon someone raised an objection.
"A Bai, absolutely not. 6,000 crystal cores are almost all of our base's storage."
Most of the leadership of the Guangming Base were subordinates left behind by the previous powers, and they were almost all old.
They did not approve of Mei Yuebai betting everything on a woman.
Mei Yuebai's lips curved into a cold smile, her eyes filled with obsession and madness.
"Let's capture the person first."
"Don't worry, I won't use a single cent of the base's funds."
S Shi, Tang Shi Base.
A breeze lifted the man's bangs, revealing his smooth forehead.
His complexion was pale and handsome, with a face like jade.
His slender fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of his black wheelchair.
The man held up the wanted poster in his hand.
White light shone on the A4 paper, and the coldness in the girl's eyes almost leaped off the paper.
"Brother, it's cold by the window, come back."
Hearing this, the man turned the wheelchair with one hand and faced the handsome face identical to his own.
He wore a white lab coat, was tall and slender, with a cool, clean, and sharp demeanor, exuding great elegance.
The two men looked alike yet different.
The man handed the wanted poster to him.
"Zhiyuan, take a look."
Tang Zhiyuan looked confused and reached out to take it.
He glanced at it casually, his attention caught by the 6,000 crystal cores, not the person on the wanted poster.
"Brother, who is this? They're worth so much?"
He had naturally heard of the 3,000 crystal cores; it had spread throughout the entire Tang Shi Base, and many people had already set out to find them.
Now it had increased to 6,000 crystal cores?
He was engrossed in his research on zombies and usually didn't pay much attention to such matters, so he was genuinely unaware of the situation.
The man smiled calmly and pushed up his slipping glasses.
"She might have... done something earth-shattering."
Tang Zhiyuan glanced up at his brother and asked cautiously, "Brother, are you interested in her..."
After all, his brother never paid attention to women. Ever since that incident, he had become a man who was a complete turn-off for women.
The man smiled and shook his head: "Zhiyuan, you go ahead and busy yourself."
Tang Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. It would be strange if his brother liked women!
He stepped forward, closed the window, and pushed his brother towards the desk.
The coldness on Tang Zhiyuan's body only lessened when he was with his parents and relatives.
Now that his entire family supported his research, he was very content with his current life.
"Brother, I'll be going then."
"Go."
The man casually tore up the wanted poster and threw it in the trash.
He pressed the call button: "No need to hide the wanted poster, just post it as usual."
"Yes."
W Province.
The cold wave arrived as scheduled. Both of them were high-level ability users. Lately, besides healing, they had been absorbing crystal cores.
They kept a portion for expenses and absorbed all the rest of the crystal cores.
Although they hadn't upgraded to level 4 ability users, they could clearly feel their abilities strengthening.
Taking advantage of the cold weather, their training time was extended.
Three hours in the morning, three hours in the afternoon.
Their life for the past month had been: absorbing crystal cores, training, and sleeping.
Except for affecting their travel, the cold wave had no other impact.
"Mmm..."
Xu Qian rubbed her eyes and pushed aside the covers, intending to get out of bed to go to the bathroom.
Suddenly, her body tensed.
She was pulled into a man's embrace.
The girl's back pressed against the man's strong chest.
Warm, hot, and firm.
The man's husky voice sounded from behind.
"Xixi, put on your clothes."
His voice was so charming it sent shivers down Xu Qian's spine, even after hearing it so often.
She turned to look at his languid posture, his beautiful eyes slightly squinted, neither fully open nor closed.
Xu Qian couldn't resist and planted a kiss on his eyelid.
