Mu Jiuyue and the others stayed underwater for a whole day, and only slowly surfaced in the middle of the night. Then they quietly rowed away.

They really did it on tiptoe.

To avoid making any noise, the group rowed the boat with oars for five miles before switching to an electric motor.

Mu Jiuyue and her group escaped successfully and left without a trace.

However, Gao Yi's death completely threw the Central Shelter into chaos!

Gao Yi was the head of the shelter, after all. With his death, many things will become complicated.

Moreover, he died too quickly, and there were many things he didn't have time to arrange.

Upon hearing of his father's death, Gao Feng immediately came to take over his father's resources and connections, busily inheriting them.

The Kong, Hua, and Yu families finally couldn't sit still any longer and prepared to take advantage of this time to overthrow Gao Feng and take power for themselves.

The already unsettled central shelter descended into complete chaos.

In the past, this would have caused a huge commotion.

Perhaps because Mu Jiuyue had thoroughly plundered their assets, this coup didn't cause much of a stir, not even as big as the last one.

It's probably because they're poor.

Of course, these things are none of Mu Jiuyue's business.

They completed their business smoothly and escaped without incident.

The Central Shelter won't be able to cause trouble for K City anytime soon; their internal power struggles alone will keep them very busy.

Moreover, mutated animals and mutated plants are coming soon.

"I'm exhausted! I need to sleep for a while." After shouting this, Mu Jiuyue fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Lin Zhen and Wei Lie shook their heads with helpless smiles.

She's still so young!

However, she really worked hard.

She basically handled everything on this trip.

But they're so capable that it makes them seem like useless people.

When Mu Jiuyue woke up, she was somewhat disoriented and didn't know what year it was.

"Awake? Have something to eat." Wei Lie handed over a boxed lunch.

"How long have I been asleep? Where are we?" Mu Jiuyue asked.

"I slept for ten hours, and I can't say where I am now, I'm still drifting at sea." Wei Lie replied, "The direction is probably fine."

"Hmm, it's raining again." Mu Jiuyue looked out the window and said, "It's acid rain again."

"Yes, it's raining again," Wei Lie replied. "This rain is timely; at least it stopped those who were chasing us. If we leave now, the city and its surrounding areas will probably suffer again."

"Doesn't this serve them right?" Mu Jiuyue said. "Let them be so arrogant, they really think the people of K City are easy to bully."

Wei Lie laughed and chimed in, "That's right, that's right."

"Well, to be honest, after being away for so many days, I'm starting to miss home. Being out here is so stressful, it's so much more comfortable at home," Mu Jiuyue said. "I wonder how Lao Hou is doing."

"You're so good to Lao Hou," Wei Lie said with emotion.

“Of course, he’s like my father.” Mu Jiuyue replied, “I’ve never had parents since I was little. The only people who were good to me were the dean and Old Hou. Now that the dean is dead, he’s the only one left.”

Wei Lie patted Mu Jiuyue's head to comfort her.

Mu Jiuyue, however, was unmoved: "What are you doing? I don't need your sympathy. Although I don't have parents, I also lack awful family members. Some people are better off without parents."

Wei Lie chuckled self-deprecatingly: "You're right. I'm not even as good as you!"

Wei Lie thought of his father. They should be in the Southwest Shelter by now. Given his personality, he's probably doing quite well.

family?

Ah.

At this time, the Dawn Base in K City.

Every day, Director Lin would stand on the mountaintop, gazing longingly in the direction he was returning.

These brats said they'd only be gone for a few days, but how many days has it been? Why aren't they back yet?

Did you get into trouble outside?

Has something happened?

When Shen Qing and the others came back, they said they would be back soon, but it's been several days now, why haven't they returned yet?

Shen Qing spoke vaguely and unclearly, only saying that they were doing something big over there, but not specifying what that big thing was, which was really worrying.

"Look! Isn't that the base captain's ship?!" someone shouted at that moment.

Director Lin immediately craned his neck to look, and from a distance, he saw a small black dot appear in his line of sight.

It's getting closer and clearer.

Finally, I could see clearly that it was a ship.

Someone on the boat waved their hands at them.

Director Lin immediately picked up his binoculars and took a look; the smile on his face was impossible to shake off.

"Finally back!" Director Lin shouted as he turned around. "Go and tidy up their rooms, dry the damp bedding, and heat up the food! The base commander is home!"

The people below immediately cheered, roaring with excitement.

Director Lin told them that the base commander had gone out to find supplies and food for everyone.

When we return in triumph, it will be time for everyone to improve their lives.

So how can everyone not get excited?

The ship docked smoothly, and a group of people surrounded Wei Lie and Lin Zhen. Although Mu Jiuyue was also warmly welcomed, she was far less enthusiastic than the two men.

Mu Jiuyue didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all.

Working behind the scenes is much more interesting than working in front of the camera.

The real masters are the hidden ones.

I finally got back to my place and touched the bedding; it was all freshly dried.

The house was spotless, clearly cleaned every day.

"Are you hungry? Eat something." Old Hou brought in a bowl of noodles with chicken leg and shredded pork.

Mu Jiuyue took it and finished it in one go, panting: "Delicious! It has to be your cooking. I'm so tired of eating boxed lunches these days."

"Come on, don't you have lots of pre-made meals in your storage space?" Old Hou rolled his eyes at her.

"Hehehe, I forgot." Mu Jiuyue replied, "Life has been too hectic, I can't remember some things."

"Why did you take so long? Did you do something big?" Old Hou asked.

“Isn’t this a big deal? Let me tell you, we…” Mu Jiuyue rambled on to Lao Hou, “You have no idea how handsome I am. I was standing on the swing, holding the gun very steadily, just aiming, aiming, and then when the time was right, bang, I fired! Gao Yi got his head slit open in no time, hahahaha.”

Seeing Mu Jiuyue's smug expression, Old Hou sighed helplessly.

The child is so capable that it makes the adults look so stupid.

However, he was still happy for September.

The more capable you are in September, the greater your chances of surviving in this apocalypse.

Just then, someone came over: "A-Jiu! Come here after you finish eating, Chief Lin wants to see you."

"Okay, I understand." Mu Jiuyue said to Lao Hou, "Sit for a while, I'll be right back."

Mu Jiuyue is still too young.

It's not a place where you can just go and come back.

I didn't go back that day.

She sat with Lin Zhen and Wei Lie, and got a good scolding from Director Lin!

"You guys are really too audacious! Do you know what will happen to this base if anything happens to any of you!" Director Lin pointed at Mu Jiuyue: "Especially you! If anything happens to you, our entire base will be finished!"
