Moon City, a place far from the ancient capital, is nestled against mountains and by water. It is famous for the blue and pink flowers that can only grow in the area, known as the Moon Fairy, and was once a very popular tourist destination.

However, Miao Yin didn't know much about it. In fact, she had only been there once. Most of the time, she wandered around in various places until she finally had her own base and settled down completely.

"Moon City and Dream City have such a close relationship, so how much do you know about the Dream City base?" Miao Yin asked.

“As for Dream City, we’ve only been there a few times, so we don’t know much about the specifics. We’ve only heard some rumors,” Xia Tang said.

Hearing this, Song Qiming, who was biting into a potato, suddenly looked up and said before even swallowing what was in his mouth, "Hey? Speaking of Mengcheng, I remembered something."

Everyone turned to look at them with curiosity.

"It's that... you guys remember? Someone really died, what was his name again..." The red-haired boy began to recall with difficulty.

"Li Kangping".

"Ah, right! That's the person!" Song Qiming suddenly realized, and then looked and saw that the speaker was Miao Yin.

"You know him, too?"

"He died, and then what?" Miao Yin asked instead of answering.

"I heard from people in the base that Li Kangping was a key figure in the Dream City base. He usually lived in the deepest part of the base and was protected by a bunch of soldiers. But later, I don't know what happened. It is said that a mutant human sneaked into the ventilation duct and killed him. I heard that his body was destroyed beyond recognition."

"Sigh, it's quite pitiful. He had a good reputation and was even on the news before. He was an honest official. But when the apocalypse came, his only child turned into a monster, his wife was bitten to death, and now he himself is dead without a complete corpse."

Song Qiming shook his head as he spoke, completely unaware of the bent iron spoon in Ling's hand.

Tan Ling, who hadn't spoken until now, also became interested and joined in the conversation.

"After Li Kangping died, the military management of the Dream City base underwent a major reshuffle, and a new battalion commander was appointed. I heard that he is extremely capable and has never failed a rescue mission. Now most of the orders are issued by that battalion commander."

"Is the captain you're talking about the one who rescued the Dongai community?" Miao Yin asked.

"You know about this too? It really is him. The difficulty of the rescue in Dongai Community has spread throughout Yuecheng. I didn't expect him to bring back so many people. When the truck drove into the base, even the blood test channel was blocked." Tan Ling raised her eyebrows slightly.

really.

Miao Yin thought to herself.

Back in Yecheng, she had already foreseen that in today's world, between a terminally ill high-ranking official who was privately conducting human experiments and a military leader with a sense of justice, the answer was obvious.

In a post-apocalyptic world, everyone's primary concerns should be supplies and shelter, followed by powerful individuals with special abilities, rather than the life of an official they've never even met. The fact that news of his death was known to everyone in Moon City clearly indicates that it was deliberately spread.

The forces behind it all ultimately turned a blind eye, suppressing the fact that Peng Si had assassinated Li Kangping and fabricating a story that it was an attack by mutants, which was then made public.

Peng Si, who was fleeing for his life, also proved that he was strong enough to survive in the apocalypse and met the standard. Therefore, they justified Peng Si's actions and allowed him to return to the base.

Peng Si's abilities were widely publicized by the survivors in the Dongai community. Coupled with his personal charisma, it was only a matter of time before many young soldiers in the military were willing to follow him and become his new leader.

Miao Yin had given him some prohibitions, such as "don't return to the Dream City base," so she sensed it immediately when Peng Si returned to the base.

At that time, they hadn't gone to the zoo yet.

When she received the ban, Miao Yin felt a rare sense of relief.

[Wow, they really survived unharmed.]

Based on this, she even took the time to touch Chao Boyan's curse.

He also accomplished the tasks that Miao Yin had asked him to do: relaying messages from the laboratory, inquiring about the weapons arsenal, and doing everything very well.

Having not heard from her for so long, he seemed to have fallen into some kind of confusion. Miao Yin then used the pain of the curse to remind him, lest he forget his existence.

The curse placed on Qiu Jing remained quietly dormant, indicating that she was still alive and well.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Tan Ling asked, "I see that you know a lot about the base. Have you been to Moon City before?"

"Been there once."

"Then... we still want to go?"

"Just passing by," Miao Yin said.

Just passing by? Tan Ling fell into thought.

Miao Yin took the last bite of steak from her plate, put down her cutlery, wiped her lips, and said, "I'm leaving now. Xiao Zhou, you finish cleaning up the rest of the dishes."

"Okay, sister, you should get some rest," Yan Shuzhou said gently.

Once Miao Yin was out of their sight, his gentle demeanor changed drastically, his expression turned cold and even somewhat impatient, completely different from before.

Those who didn't know him well were taken aback by this sudden change, exchanging glances privately and deciding to stay away from this unpredictable person.

Xia Tang, who was well-versed in the darker aspects of human nature, quickly understood what had happened and offered a silent sarcastic remark.

Unexpectedly, that eccentric woman could raise such a vicious and protective rabbit.

She roughly knows how to get along with her.

……

Back in her room, Miao Yin first took a hot bath to wash away the fatigue of the journey, leaving her skin radiant and youthful.

She sat on the edge of the bed, her hair wet and dripping with water.

A flame shot up and, under its owner's precise control, flowed gently around her, its intense heat quickly drying her hair.

Miao Yin watched the flames dancing on her fingertips, skillfully manipulating them—a method she used to train her supernatural abilities.

The more powerful a superpower is, the more it needs to be controlled, otherwise it will turn against its owner.

In order to hone the finesse of her superpower, she learned to use flames to do all sorts of small things, such as drying her own hair.

In the beginning, she used her subordinates as practice subjects, burning the hair of several people before she mastered her superpower.

Everyone was trembling with fear, afraid that the flames would burn their heads off. Fortunately, Miao Yin didn't really intend to hurt them, which saved their lives.

This habit has continued to this day; Miao Yin still uses the firewood to dry things or melt small objects to train herself.

After drying her hair, Miao Yin lay on the bed, her black hair loose.

"Finally... back to S-rank." She raised her hand, and the molten fire flowed through the room.

The difference between S-rank and other ranks is like heaven and earth. Just like the aberrant people with green crystal cores and the crimson calamity, what she possesses and the world she can see are no longer the same after breaking through the rank.

In her previous life, after reaching this level, she remained unchanged in rank, just like other S-rank ability users.

Whether it was due to insufficient accumulated power or the fact that human potential could only reach this level, no one could find the answer until her death.

But after absorbing the crystal core of the Lone Wind White Moth, her superpowers underwent some changes, and she seemed to have reached a certain level.

Maybe in this lifetime, I'll have a chance.

Therefore, she needs to make some preparations...

Miao Yin waved her hand, put away all the embers, and turned off the lights.

Have a good night's sleep.
