Chapter 381: 215 Thought the Wrong Direction (Second Update)

Bai Ye tensed up quietly, suddenly realizing that something was very wrong!

He stole a glance at Fang Yuxin, who looked perfectly normal. Her natural scent of herbs and grass was also unproblematic, which ruled out the possibility that she was intentionally trying to seduce him. Therefore, the problem must lie with him.

Bai Ye was puzzled. What was happening to him? Even if he liked Fang Yuxin, it shouldn’t lead to such impulsive feelings regardless of the setting, right?

But if it wasn’t due to emotions, then it must be a problem with his body.

At this thought, a chill ran down Bai Ye’s spine as he suddenly remembered an issue he had noticed a long time ago—the Zombie Crystal Core contained some negative energy and impurities. Long-term absorption of these could negatively impact a superpower user’s body.

Could it be, that his current state was influenced by the negative energy in the Crystal Core?

Bai Ye felt this was a serious problem. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. However, what he overlooked was the strong physical yearning that comes alongside a man who has been pent up for too long suddenly feeling his heart race.

Having absolutely no experience in this area, Bai Ye had no idea he was thinking in the wrong direction. He only felt that the problem was very serious and vaguely wanted to avoid contact with Fang Yuxin, yet he couldn’t bear to do so, resulting in his complexion growing increasingly awful.

Fang Yuxin had been waiting for his response, but instead of answering, his expression just kept getting worse. She thought Bai Ye might have realized something, so she asked, "What’s wrong? Did you think of something? Why do you look so upset?"

Bai Ye certainly didn’t dare let her know about the dirty thoughts that were currently occupying his mind. He glanced at Fang Yuxin, then quickly looked away, and said gravely, "Your analysis is correct, there should be a small safety Base nearby. Since they have set their sights on us, let’s go have a look."

His thoughts actually coincided perfectly with Fang Yuxin’s. She believed there should be a small safety Base nearby, probably not very large since more people meant a bigger target, and from what she observed, their manpower seemed insufficient, not the appearance of having many people.

She wasn’t the kind to poke her nose into others’ business, but since they had come across this situation and the other side obviously had no intention of letting them go, she wanted to see what kind of place it was!

The aura of those twenty people she had met earlier was very impure, which gave her a bad feeling. This was probably because her Pure Wood Spirit Body was naturally sensitive, and the malice mixed in those people made her uncomfortable.

If there had been no surveillance nearby, it was very likely they would have simply left and not bothered about those people. However, they were being watched. The other party stayed hidden and kept observing them with binoculars, making it impossible for her to let her guard down.

Just then, Fang Yuxin sensed that two people were heading their way. They were two very clean-looking young women, attractive and neat, which was extremely rare in such an apocalypse.

What was even more unusual was that they were Ordinary People, not superpower users.

This made them all the more intriguing.

Fang Yuxin shot Bai Ye a look, whispering, "Two girls are heading our way. I reckon they are bait."

Bai Ye was taken aback for a moment before he nodded silently. His muscles were so tense with nervousness that he had almost thought Fang Yuxin was giving him a flirtatious look! He was glad he realized in time!

His heart growing more and more panicked, not knowing what to say next, he heard Fang Yuxin say, "They are almost here, let’s put on a show. Just follow my lead when the time comes."

Being stared at by Fang Yuxin’s beautiful eyes, Bai Ye found himself unable to say anything besides nodding.

The two people were getting closer, and since they were Ordinary People, their footsteps were heavier, alerting everyone to their presence.

Fang Yuxin deliberately exclaimed loudly, "What’s going on here? How are we supposed to get the car across this huge hole?" She was speaking towards the direction of the deep pit, her face full of dissatisfaction as if she was venting in frustration.

The two young women emerged from the woods beside the highway, only seven or eight meters away from the road. They saw Fang Yuxin’s reaction, exchanged a look, and their mouths curled slightly, but they quickly returned to normal and hastened towards the road’s edge.

Bai Ye got out of the car, approached Fang Yuxin, and tried to console her, "Stop complaining. Who could’ve known it would be like this? We’re just unlucky. Come on, let’s back up and see if we can find another way around."

Fang Yuxin’s tone was still filled with dissatisfaction: "Do you know how to navigate these roads? We might end up more lost instead of finding a way around."

Bai Ye understood Fang Yuxin’s intent—they were going to pretend to be clueless about the area. That made sense; nowadays, everyone relied on navigation when driving. Unless one was local, who would know their way around?

So he cooperated by furrowing his brows: "I’ve never been here before, how would I know which way to go? Should we ask someone nearby for directions?"

By this time, the two young women had reached the roadside. Hearing this, they were secretly pleased and were about to say something when they heard Fang Yuxin say warily, "With the world in such chaos, and us being strangers in this place, how can we trust the people we find?"

As she said this, she suddenly turned her head, looking alertly at the two girls and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

With her words, Bai Ye immediately assumed a vigilant demeanor.
