Chapter 165 Banquet at Yuhai Base
"Brother, I'm back!"
Ji Yue, with shoulder-length hair, pushed the door open with a look of joy on her face.
In the kitchen opposite the entrance, there was the sound of a blade cutting vegetables on the chopping board.
A young man in a white shirt and an apron was standing in front of the chopping board, and the kitchen knife in his hand had already left a residual shadow in the air.
It is hard to imagine that this homely man who looks like a skilled cook is actually the famous white death god in Yuhai.
The sound of the door opening came from behind, followed by the slightly happy call of his sister.
The light screen on Ji Youfeng's glasses flashed, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"The food is almost ready..."
Ji Yue seemed not to hear it, and said to herself:
"I have just handed the letter of the banquet to Mu Qiu on behalf of my brother..."
"It seems that they went out to search and hunt today, but fortunately I caught up."
Even Ji Yue herself did not notice that when she said this, her eyebrows were curved, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
The sound of cutting vegetables in the kitchen suddenly stopped, and Ji Youfeng paused.
After a slight silence, Ji Youfeng slowly said:
"You... like him, right?"
The "he" referred to was naturally Mu Qiu.
Ji Youfeng's question was extremely plain, just like the most ordinary greeting between family members.
But even such a calm word, when it reached Ji Yue's ears, it was like a thunderclap.
Subconsciously, Ji Yue's mind emerged with a scene in which Mu Qiu, dressed in black, fell from the sky in front of her in the tide of tens of thousands of corpses, like a god.
Ji Yue's cheeks turned red with shame, and the red color spread to her ears.
Ji Yue rarely showed the posture of a little woman, and chopped her feet in shame and anger:
"Brother! What are you talking about?!"
"I'm not going to pay attention to you!"
As if her heart was revealed, Ji Yue trotted back to her bedroom.
The door closed with a "bang", and the whole house fell into silence again.
After a while, the sound of cutting vegetables in the kitchen was heard again.
Ji Yue, who was standing in front of the bedroom door, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
She patted her chest with her bare hands, then touched her hot cheeks, still a little unbelievable:
"What happened to me..."
In the kitchen outside the house, Ji Youfeng waved the kitchen knife calmly, and there was no expression on his face that showed any joy or anger.
Suddenly, the arm that was cutting vegetables trembled slightly, and the knife flashed.
A bloody mark was instantly cut on Ji Youfeng's finger, and blood gushed out.
The next moment, Ji Youfeng's body shook, and a sharp pain came from his heart. Tianlai Novel Network
Veins on his face bulged, cold sweat soaked out, Ji Youfeng staggered, and tightly covered his heart blood vessels.
He could deeply feel that the heart area was constantly swelling like a blower, as if it would burst out in the next second.
Ji Youfeng took out a tube of injection from his waist with a trembling arm, and blood-like liquid flowed in it.
Ji Youfeng injected it into the blood vessels in his chest.
As the liquid level in the syringe continued to drop, the severe pain in his body gradually eased.
In the kitchen, the man's panting gradually subsided, and the cold sweat on his forehead dripped onto the chopping board.
Ji Youfeng looked down at his fingers that were still bleeding, his expression cold...

In the sunset, a high-rise villa stood in the suburbs of Yuhai Base.
A beautiful flower path led from a distance to the iron gate of the villa.
In the flower path, a petite girl in a purple skirt and a cold face walked slowly.
The girl exuded a cold breath that kept strangers away, as if she was a platycodon withering in a pool of stagnant water...
Combined with the dim environment around the villa, the atmosphere in the suburbs seemed particularly quiet.
Xue Qianya pushed open the door of the villa with ease, and the petite and delicate purple figure seemed particularly small in front of the huge castle villa.
What Xue Qianya didn't know was that on the hillside not far from the villa, a drone full of metallic texture was monitoring every move outside the villa.
In the dim room, several pairs of eyes were watching Xue Qianya's figure walking into the villa through the drone's monitor.
"Is this the corpse control ability user that the adults reminded us to pay attention to?"
"It doesn't look like she has strong abilities. Is a B-level little girl really worth our attention?"
Two noisy voices sounded, and in the end they were drowned out by another voice:
"Stop talking nonsense. The adults naturally have their own intentions when they ask us to pay attention!"
"First pay close attention to her movements, and wait for the adults' orders before we take action!"
With an order, the dim room returned to silence again.
And in front of the drone camera lurking on the hillside, a hint of red light flashed slightly...

At sunset, Mu Qiu came to a tall building in the center of the base according to the instructions in the letter.
It can be seen that this restaurant called "Yuhai Hotel" is decorated in a grand style and has a luxurious lobby.
Even before the apocalypse, it was a place where only the upper class could have dinner and banquets.
This restaurant was obviously renovated not long ago, the new paint on the wall was not even dry yet, and there were two receptionists in suits and ties in front of the door.
Mu Qiu had reason to suspect that one of the important reasons for the renovation of this hotel was for today's banquet.
That's right, the letter Ji Yue gave him pointed out that the purpose of this banquet was to entertain foreign awakeners from other bases!
Today, Mu Qiu still wore a black windbreaker with a white shirt underneath.
The only difference from the past was that a butterfly was faintly flying on Mu Qiu's shoulder, which was like a dream and made others unable to see clearly.
Under the guidance of the receptionist, Mu Qiu came to a private room called "Wolong Hall" on the second floor of the hotel.
This private room was particularly spacious, with hundreds of square meters at a glance, and the decoration was magnificent and magnificent.
Entering the private room, the large round table was already full of neatly dressed human survivors.
Xiao Hanyan, Wang Dapeng, and Zhang Qing, the three leaders of the base, appeared in their seats.
Sitting on both sides were many Yuhai senior executives who were in charge of other affairs of the base. At a glance, there were dozens of humans sitting there.
In addition, Mu Qiu also saw some unfamiliar faces, presumably these were the "outside awakeners" mentioned in the letter.
All the humans sitting there were dressed neatly in suits and ties, which formed a sharp contrast with the ragged and worn human survivors outside the hotel.
In such a formal occasion, Mu Qiu, who was wearing a windbreaker and casual clothes, seemed a bit out of place.
Therefore, as soon as he entered the private room, Mu Qiu attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Mu Qiu!"
A shout came, and Mu Qiu looked in the direction of the sound, and actually saw Wei Ling'er next to Wei Ying.
Wei Ling'er waved to Mu Qiu and pointed to the empty seat next to her.
The latter understood and walked slowly to the empty seat and sat down, not paying any attention to the sight of others.
At this time, a blond and blue-eyed man sitting next to Zhang Qingwei, wearing a tight combat suit, looked at Mu Qiu and said:
"This is the recently famous Yu Hai Bingjun, right?"
The blond man stood up, smiled slightly in the direction of Mu Qiu, and stretched out his hand:
"I am He Anping, the captain of the Xilan Base Combat Team, and I have heard of Bingjun's name for a long time..."
