He Traded the System for My Rebirth, and I Led Him Across the Apocalypse

46: The frame hits the wallDuring the strict investigation, it was indeed discovered that there were still people infected by the zombies hidden among the crowd in Qingyun Base.

Fortunately, no one else was injured.

It was already three days later after the entire base had been thoroughly searched.

Because of Sun Ping’s incident, and those people who were immediately evicted for failing to pay rent on time,

The remaining residents were all extremely relieved.

At the same time, they resented Sun Ping in their hearts. She was truly one bad apple spoiling the whole barrel.

Originally, everyone living there was doing fine, but now, with her vicious ingratitude, she had provoked Lin Wan.

She had cut off the livelihood of many people! In the future, even if these people needed a few extra days of grace from Qingyun Base after their rent was due, it would be impossible.

However, those who remained also knew the good she had done.

So, in the days that followed, they worked even harder and more cautiously, cherishing the good life they had in Qingyun Base.

...

On this day, the Official Base issued a notice, summoning the leaders of the private bases in Sea City for a meeting.

When Lin Wan and the others arrived, the conference room was already filled with the leaders or important figures from the major private bases.

Lin Wan and her group’s seats were right next to Director Zhang’s position.

Everyone knew that Qingyun Base had five leaders.

And in an occasion like this, every single one of them would be present.

Shen Mo Chi and Lin Wan walked at the very front, immediately drawing everyone’s gaze upon entering.

Although Lin Wan, at 1.65 meters tall, wasn’t exactly short, next to the tall Shen Mo Chi, she appeared petite and lovely.

Behind them, Yue Yue and Ji Chuan made a handsome and beautiful pair, their expressions calm yet sharp.

Yi Nian stood gracefully tall; though small in stature, her aura was very strong.

Compared to the generally rough-looking people, they were undoubtedly a refreshing sight.

The high-ranking men from the private bases looked at Lin Wan, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Regarding Lin Wan, they could be said to have admired her reputation for a long time, but private contact was almost non-existent; one could say that aside from occasions like this, they rarely intersected.

Some people had only heard of her name but had never seen her in person.

Now that they saw her, their eyes were completely fixed on her.

Truly worthy of being someone with a Spatial ability. Even in the Apocalypse, there were such vibrant women.

Flawless, with skin like white jade, clear and beautiful almond eyes, a high nose bridge, and attractively rosy lips.

The long, black designer down jacket did not conceal her figure but instead made her even more striking.

The small section of straight calves revealed below, paired with puffy snow boots, added a touch of cuteness to her bright beauty.

Yang Hong, the leader of Guangming Base, stared at Lin Wan without blinking, his gaze following her movements.

What a gem!

If only this woman belonged to him...

She possessed an infinitely large spatial ability, and Qingyun Base was flourishing under her influence... Furthermore, she had dual-element abilities—a Level 9 Psychic ability and a Wind ability... She was truly a perfect favored daughter of heaven.

It could be said that whoever obtained her would be an existence that could dominate the Apocalypse...

Just as he was lost in this beautiful dream, Yang Hong suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

His heart tightened. He glanced to the side and saw Lin Wan’s boyfriend, Shen Mo Chi.

Truly worthy of being the former head of the Shen Corporation before the Apocalypse.

With just one glance, he felt pressure and a murderous warning.

Considering his Level 7 Water ability against Shen Mo Chi’s Level 9 Lightning ability...

He had no chance of winning.

He reluctantly retracted his unrestrained gaze, gritting his teeth.

Then, thinking of the person backing his own base, he secretly vowed in his heart.

Shen Mo Chi, there will be plenty of people to deal with you later!

Lin Wan, you will be mine sooner or later!

After the five of them sat down, a reckless Psychic Ability User immediately tried to probe the space within Lin Wan’s consciousness.

Lin Wan lifted her eyelids and glanced at that person with a half-smile.

”Ah... I can’t stop...”

Everyone turned to look. They saw a minor leader from the Future Base standing up and repeatedly banging his head against the wall.

He was shouting while hitting the wall, even trying to restrain his uncontrollable head...

...

Yue Yue and Yi Nian were stifling their laughter.

Serves him right! Why did he have to provoke her! Her Psychic ability was a terrifying Level 9!

She was the only one in all of Huaxia with that level. Even if there were another Level 9, trying to look into her spatial ability now would be nothing but wishful thinking. Much less a mere Level 7 who thought too highly of himself and dared to act wild in front of Lin Wan!

Was spatial ability something you could just look at whenever you wanted?

The leader of the Future Base immediately felt utterly humiliated.

He quickly ordered someone to take away his capable assistant, who had insisted on coming along.

...

This small interlude passed in just a few minutes before Director Zhang arrived.

His expression was stern. After sitting down, he got straight to the point.

First, he briefed them on the recent situation.

”Everyone must know that the main reason for this meeting is the matter of the mutated zombies.”

”For some unknown reason, they have mutated again, and what is more serious is that they have actually developed self-awareness and know how to hide among the populace and wait for an opportunity to strike.”

”Coincidentally, it is currently the Extreme Night period, so I hope everyone will be vigilant, manage your bases well, and for the sake of all of Huaxia, as well as our long-term development, do not be stagnant. Instead, encourage your Ability Users to go out and eliminate more zombies, regardless of their level.”

”Especially large bases like Qingyun, Guangming, and Peak, you should take the lead.”

”The Extreme Night does indeed restrict many things. We have already ordered the army to patrol day and night and are accelerating the pace of eliminating zombies.”

”We also hope that all major bases will work in unison with the Officials to get through this difficult period of the Extreme Night.”

”From now on, we will divide corresponding zones for each private base. Each zone’s zombies will be the responsibility of that base to eliminate. This is a mandatory foundational task.”

Everyone was mentally prepared for why they were summoned today.

No matter the time, the Officials would always have a slight edge, whether in strength or other aspects.

A fist cannot fight against a thigh; this has been the principle in Huaxia since ancient times.

If private bases wanted to survive and develop well, some things needed to be heeded. Who asked them to be the Officials?

Peak Base spoke up first. The three young leaders smiled and said,

”That is natural. As long as there is a place where our base can be of use, we will certainly not shirk our duty.”

Other bases were not to be outdone. After all, the Officials were a powerful backing; if they could rely on them, they would, and if not, they certainly could not afford to offend them!

Seeing that everyone expressed no objection, Director Zhang nodded with satisfaction.

He discussed some other matters, and the meeting concluded over an hour later.

”That concludes today’s meeting. Everyone is dismissed. Oh, Qingyun Squad, please stay behind.”

The base leaders, each harboring their own thoughts, stood up and left.

They kept wondering if the Officials were about to grant Qingyun Squad some new benefits.

The Official Base was openly supporting them, and Qingyun Base was still the first to receive such treatment.

Some were envious and jealous, some feigned indifference, and others viewed them as targets...

Lin Wan and the others remained calm.

Once one reached a certain height, attention from all directions was normal.

”What is it? Leader, do you have any further instructions?” Lin Wan asked with a smile.
