The serious expressions and tense mood of Chen Ge and his group naturally affected Ye Xiao and his group as well.

Even Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai realized that something bad might be about to happen.

As expected, Chen Ge's answer confirmed Ye Xiao and the other two's premonition.

"Rain is not a good thing. It has been very rare since the Great Cataclysm, but when it does rain, it lasts for many days."

"We have no idea when it will stop, and the rainy season is when the night wanderers are most active, with a large number of night wanderers and mutants becoming active."

Sister Lin's face was pale, and her lips trembled. "And, moreover, they will gather in places where there are many people."

There was a commotion outside the building, which sounded like a large group of people running around in a chaotic manner.

Chen Ge and the others ran downstairs quickly, and Ye Xiao hurriedly followed.

Once we got to the first floor, the noises outside the door became even more chaotic.

Chen Ge opened the door, and on the street outside, one disheveled figure after another flashed by.

Ye Xiao, with his hat pulled up, cautiously peered out the door.

Refugees from the surrounding refugee quarters rushed out of their houses, dressed in rags and carrying all sorts of belongings, and frantically gathered towards the base gate.

A large number of refugees had gathered in front of the base's gate; looking around, there were at least several hundred people.

Many people were still running out of the surrounding buildings, frantically running towards the base.

They moved hastily, their bodies swaying from side to side due to malnutrition, and even with their teeth clenched and faces contorted in pain, they didn't go much faster.

Those gaunt faces were filled with fear and unease, as if death was chasing after them.

When they arrived last night, it was already dark, and they couldn't see very well. They didn't expect so many people to gather outside.

There were so many that Ye Xiao was surprised.

"Damn it, they're blocking the base gate. Ye Xiao, we need to get into the base."

"It's dangerous for rainy days to be outside, because you never know what might come!"

"At least there will be defensive forces around the base, which can block some attacks."

Ye Xiao gritted his teeth. Seeing the frenzied state of the refugees, he dared not delay and quickly shouted to the crowd:

"Hurry up and pack your things, get in the car, we're heading to the base!"

Sister Lin was flustered and anxious, helplessly watching Chen Ge and the others busily going upstairs to pack their things. She seemed to realize that Ye Xiao was the leader of the group.

At that moment, he knelt down in front of Ye Xiao with a thud.

The sound of his knees hitting the ground was clearly audible even to the viewers in the live stream.

"Hey bro, bro!"

Sister Lin knelt on the ground, pleadingly grabbing Ye Xiao's trouser leg, "Brother, please, please help me."

"I'll bring my son into the base, please, please, I don't have to go in, but please take my son in."

"I kowtow to you!"

As she spoke, Sister Lin began to bang her head against the ground repeatedly, startling Ye Xiao.

He frowned and reached out to pull Sister Lin, "Sister Lin, don't do this, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

"No matter how much you beg me, I can't just bring anyone along. I can't carry around a burden, can I?"

He didn't come here to do charity work. That child has albinism and is very weak; he needs to be taken care of.

Aside from Sister Lin, who is the child's mother, who would be willing to keep such a burden by their side?

Ye Xiao shook his head, pulled up his trouser leg to leave, but Sister Lin grabbed his leg.

"Then, then I can do your laundry and cook for you, I'll do anything for you, as long as you take us with you!"

While it's nice to have someone do your laundry and cook for you, he might not be able to enjoy that once he's in the base!

"It's not like I'm going in to act like a big shot, I don't need to!"

Seeing Ye Xiao refuse again, Sister Lin became anxious. She grabbed Ye Xiao's thigh tightly and gritted her teeth.

"That child can't die, that child really can't die!"

At this moment, Chen Ge and his group hurriedly came down, carrying their things, and headed towards the car.

Sister Lin glanced at Chen Ge and the others, then, seemingly hesitant, pulled Ye Xiao to a corner to the side.

She looked at Ye Xiao with hopeful eyes and lowered her voice, "You, you are asymptomatic, right?"

Ye Xiao nodded, not understanding what she was up to with her sneaky behavior.

Then Sister Lin whispered, "My son has albinism, but he's immune to those mutated things!"

"He... he was injured by the Night Wanderers, but he didn't show any signs of mutation!"

Lin Jie's words stunned Ye Xiao instantly.

"Someone can actually be immune to mutations?"

"real or fake?"

Ye Xiao stared wide-eyed, and it's no wonder he was so shocked, since this meant that Sister Lin's son might be the key to developing the recovery potion.

He never expected that Sister Lin would have such a treasure hidden away.

However, there was one thing Ye Xiao didn't understand.

"If that's the case, why didn't you tell the base before? Maybe the base would have protected you."

Sister Lin shook her head. "I... I wouldn't dare. If they separate me from my son, he'll have no one to take care of him."

She looked terrified, biting her nails. "And I heard that there was another person who was immune to it, but they died later."

She shook her head vigorously, "How could I dare to hand my child over to those people?"

Ye Xiao frowned. Indeed, Sister Lin's child looked frail and sickly, and probably wouldn't be able to withstand much hardship before passing away.

It's a miracle that we've survived this long since the apocalypse.

If that child can indeed be immune to mutations, then that would be of immense value.

Letting them follow Chen Ge and his group won't cause any trouble; they'll even have a trump card up their sleeve later.

Meanwhile, the live chat was flooded with comments, and the guy called "Black Frame" started calling him out by name.

[Black photo frame: Midnight snack, take that child with you]

Ye Xiao now strongly suspects that this thing called the black photo frame is definitely from some official organization.

The car had already pulled up at the door, and Liang Kai, who was inside, called out, "Brother Xiao, it's time to go!"

Ye Xiao called out to A Zhao, "A Zhao, go help Sister Lin pack her things and take the two of them with you!"

The people in the car were stunned for a moment, but they didn't ask any questions. Ah Zhao jumped out of the car and ran upstairs with Sister Lin.

Old Han, Da Hei, and Chen Ge got out of the car on their own and went to the back of the truck.

Ye Xiao opened the passenger door and got in, much to Zhou Qirui's surprise in the back seat.

"Xiao-ge, weren't you initially unwilling to take them? What did she say to you that made you agree?"

Liang Kai was also a little puzzled, "Are you really going to bring the child along?"

Ye Xiao glanced at the open door and said, "If it's useless, I won't bring it along. Just let them go with Chen Ge and the others anyway."
