The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

[The Heart of Isaac: I think this guy isn't lacking in seed cores, he's just unwilling to give them up.]

[SilverMoon315: This guy named Zhu Hongchang is quite cunning; he was probably the leader of that stronghold before.]

……

Ye Xiao naturally guessed the same thing; otherwise, how could his naive daughter be so arrogant and domineering?

Of all the women he had met in this post-apocalyptic world, none possessed such confidence as this one.

This person must have been under high-level protection in the stronghold for a long time to have such an inexplicable sense of superiority.

Naive and brainless!

Zhu Hongchang rubbed his hands together, a smile plastered on his face. "Of course we know that, so we really don't have any extra seed kernels."

He chuckled and hinted to Zhou Hu and the others, "Whatever your needs are, we can discuss them!"

Seeing that Ye Xiao did not react, Zhu Hongchang and the others exchanged glances. They clearly did not intend to leave and seemed to want to struggle a bit more.

He glanced at Yan Li and Zhao Jiahui, then winked at them.

Zhao Jiahui understood Zhu Hongchang's meaning, but hesitated and did not act. Yan Li immediately twisted her body and took a step forward.

Her stomach was rumbling with hunger, and she couldn't care less about anything else at the moment. Listening to the others slurping noodles and smelling the aroma, she was so hungry that she was dizzy and her mind was becoming hazy.

Just then, Ye Xing suddenly jumped down from the roof of the car. She held up a bowl that had been licked clean, as if it had been washed, and presented it to Ye Xiao, squatting down beside him ingratiatingly.

"Still want to eat?"

Ye Xiao asked a question, and Ye Xing nodded vigorously. Ye Xiao didn't say anything, but glanced at the pot where there were still quite a few noodles. He scooped some noodles and soup with a spoon and handed them to Ye Xing.

Upon seeing this, the three women immediately frowned and involuntarily swallowed.

Yan Li, who was wearing a skirt, struggled to look away from the bowl. She quickly glanced at Chen Ge and the others, then at Ye Xiao and Lan Ling beside him.

Yan Li speculated about the relationship between Lan Ling and Ye Xiao. The only reason Lan Ling could stay in the team so cleanly and innocently was that she was the team leader's woman. She couldn't guess any other possibility.

Her gaze shifted, landing on Zhou Hu and the others. Her tone was slightly coquettish as she leaned closer to Zhou Hu and said to them:

"Handsome guys, we've also run into trouble. We had no choice but to travel all this way to get here, hoping to reach the Gaotang base. You're all heroes, you must be lonely on ordinary days, right?"

As he spoke, Zhou Hu felt his arms being pressed even more firmly by the two towering peaks, and he could feel their soft and bouncy texture even more.

Zhou Hu tried to pull his hand away, but Yan Li's arms tightened around him. She tilted her head, winked at Ye Xiao suggestively, and said:

"The captain has a beautiful woman by his side, so he can't neglect his brothers, right? Men have their needs, after all!"

Zhou Hu abruptly pulled his hand away, shoving the woman beside him in alarm, and immediately said:

"No, Captain, I don't have any needs!"

puff!

Lan Ling couldn't help but turn her back and chuckle softly.

Zhou Hu twitched his eye, glanced at Yan Li with an embarrassed expression, and shook his hand.

"Get out, get out, stop acting like a slut here!"

Yan Li, still unwilling to give up, coaxed herself into speaking:

"Handsome, I've been starving for days, can't I at least have some food? You can do whatever you want with me later!"

Seeing that the others didn't reply, the woman with long hair and wearing a yellow dress took a few steps closer to Ye Xiao, looking up at him with a pitiful and delicate expression.

"You'd be better off giving some to me than giving it to that little beggar!"

Ok?

Ye Xiao glanced at the woman, puzzled, and gave a slight smirk.

"Who are you?"

Yan Li's eye twitched violently, and her face twisted in pain.

Zhu Hongchang silently glanced at his daughter. The young team leader was young and good-looking. Most importantly, she must be quite capable to become a team leader at such a young age.

It might even be someone from the base. Yan Li and the other two women are too old, and the other party might not like them. But Xiao Yue is young and beautiful, and they might be able to get on her good side, making their subsequent actions easier!

His thoughts seemed to be written all over his face as he winked at Zhu Yue.

Zhu Yue pursed her lips unhappily, her gaze fell on Ye Xiao, and then she put on a pitiful look and moved closer to Ye Xiao.

"Handsome, what would it take for you to help us?"

Zhu Yue was met with a glare from Ye Xiao. Zhu Yue's eye twitched violently, and then she looked aggrieved and tried to throw herself at Ye Xiao. Seeing this, Ye Xiao suddenly raised his hand.

"What do you want to do?"

Ye Xiao pressed his hand directly onto Zhu Yue's forehead.

Zhu Yue frowned in annoyance, but suddenly her gaze fell directly on Ye Xiao's fingers as they left her cheek.

In an instant, Zhu Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, a flash of joy and excitement passing through them.

Immediately afterward, her expression turned cold, and she snorted:

"Honestly, what kind of person is he!"

As she spoke, she turned around, grabbed Zhu Hongchang with a frustrated expression, and said as if she had been greatly shocked:

"Dad, I can't be bothered to curry favor with that guy. It's just a seed core, I'll just give it to them!"

Zhu Hongchang wanted to say something, but after seeing Zhu Yue's expression, he suddenly shut his mouth and then sighed as if he were very regretful.

"Fine!"

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Xiao and the others, seemingly struggling with his own thoughts, and said:

"How about this, I'll go and discuss it with my companions. You guys wait here for a bit, okay?"

Ye Xiao looked at Chen Ge and the others and asked, "How much longer until the engine is ready?"

Chen Ge and A Zhao said, "The previous ones have been taken down, and all that's left is to install them. It will probably take some time."

Ye Xiao nodded and said to Zhu Hongchang:

"Okay, but if you're not here by the time we're done, we'll be leaving now!"

Zhu Hongchang quickly nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, don't worry, it'll be quick, very quick! I'll go get the seed kernels."

With that, he led the few people beside him and hurriedly left the way they had come.

Ye Xiao and his companions watched the departing figures with some confusion.

Lan Ling frowned. "Strange, don't you guys think these guys left in a bit of a hurry?"

Ah Zhao nodded in agreement, "Exactly. Just now he looked like he was about to act like a scoundrel and pester us, how come he suddenly changed his mind?"

Ye Xiao naturally noticed something strange about it, even though there seemed to be nothing unusual on the surface.

But these guys initially planned to use women to win them over.

But as soon as Zhu Hongchang's daughter got close to Ye Xiao, she suddenly changed her attitude.

Moreover, what's most strange is that the woman wasn't Zhu Hongchang's daughter? It's rather odd that he would send his daughter to please another man.

However, it's not impossible for such "beasts" to exist.

But the strangest thing is that they originally said they didn't have enough seed cores, but suddenly agreed to exchange them for seed cores. This made Ye Xiao feel that the actions of these guys before and after were very incongruous.

By this time, Zhu Hongchang and his group had already gone far away and entered the alley.

The men in the group frowned and looked at Zhu Hongchang, who had suddenly changed his mind, and asked:

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Zhu Yue, standing beside Zhu Hongchang, suddenly smiled smugly:

"No need to bother infiltrating the Gaotang base anymore, that young captain is an asymptomatic carrier!"

Her gaze suddenly turned strange, a hint of fanaticism appearing in her eyes. She clasped her hands together over her chest, a manic smile playing on her lips.

"It's just a seed core! We'll soon have a sacrifice to offer to our great god!"
