Xu Qian's eyelashes fluttered gently as she slowly opened her eyes.
She looked around and breathed a sigh of relief. She was in the RV now, not the factory.
Xu Qian tried to raise her hand to check the time, only to find her hand tightly clasped in a pair of slender hands.
Her originally fair and slender hands were now bright red and swollen, a stark contrast to the other.
Her voice was slightly hoarse as she asked, "What happened to your hand?"
Mei Baiyue's tense expression relaxed. He sat up straighter and leaned in to embrace her frail body.
"It's nothing. I'm just glad you're awake."
{He said the girl he liked wouldn't die easily.}
"..." Dying from leveling up?
Xu Qian frowned and said, "Let's have Doctor Ye treat you when we get back."
"Okay."
{The hand has been treated with special medicine. Another application tonight and it should be mostly healed, but... while she's worried about me, I might as well hold on for a little longer.}
A faint smile appeared on her clear and cold eyes. She said softly, "I was just upgrading my level two ability. It's nothing."
"You mean, that was an upgrade?"
"Yes."
Mei Baiyue breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you were..." {dying.}
Xu Qian couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Those inner thoughts were really... adorable.
"Did you collect 300 crystal cores?"
{I was so worried about her that I forgot about it.}
Xu Qian felt a warmth in her heart.
"I'll give them to you when we get back. You should rest well now and don't think too much."
"..." Where did the crystal cores come from?
{Worst case, I'll scam some from Gu Qing. We probably killed over 200 zombies at the hospital last time, so that's enough for 100 cores.}
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly. Someone who cheated so openly in front of her.
{My God, why are there so many people ahead?}
Gu Qing's voice echoed in her mind.
Xu Qian's heart tightened.
"Brother Baiyue, there are a lot of people ahead."
Xu Qian got up, put on her shoes, and went to the window to look.
Ahead was a spacious square, surrounded by layers of iron fencing. From a distance, many tents were set up inside.
Her brow furrowed.
Was this a self-built small base?
"Gu Qing, don't go any closer. Stop when you get near."
Gu Qing's face lit up with joy. "Sister Qian, you're finally awake! I was so worried."
{Fortunately, Sister Qian woke up (・Д・)ノ, otherwise what would I do! Dealing with a Tyrannosaurus Rex every day, I can't handle it.}
"..." Could she choose to block it?
The RV stopped in a corner, and she took out a telescope to observe.
At the entrance, five or six people in black suits stood guard. Each one was tall, burly, and fierce.
Xu Qian squinted and looked inside the iron fence. She saw a short-haired woman sitting on a high stool, surrounded by a group of men in black, her face unclear.
She held a gun, and several men were kneeling before her.
The woman laughed maniacally, boasting about having guns, food, and men. In the apocalypse, who dared to touch her.
These four men were the most handsome in the base. They should be happy to become her male concubines.
The woman pointed at two of the men and said, "You, and you, come and serve."
Two delicate-looking men knelt on the ground, trembling as they complied, not daring to resist in any way.
This woman called herself the founder of the Beautiful Base, claiming that if they handed over their food, she would provide food, supplies, and jobs.
They believed her.
After entering the base, they were imprisoned by this so-called Beautiful Base, becoming sex slaves for the woman and her bodyguards.
The woman jumped off the high stool and walked towards the largest tent in the middle. The two men followed her closely, heads bowed.
After the woman entered, two black-suited men guarded the entrance. The other black-suited men drove the onlookers outside into the tent, and then followed them in.
Soon after, most of the small tents began to shake violently.
Xu Qian's lips pressed tightly together. What kind of brothel was this?
Should she save them or not?
