Seeing Bai Ren manage to run back, everyone was shocked. They had never seen such a clean escape before.
He had ventured into the midst of the monsters and still managed to come back unscathed, cool as a cucumber.
Let’s not even talk about whether there were any tricks involved. This is just pure luck!
Could this be the legendary case of ‘fools luck’?
But Bai Ren was completely unaware of how lucky he appeared to others. From his perspective, it was just two humans playing some silly game, trying to push him around.
He had seen cubs play-fighting before, but these two should be adults by now.
Moreover, he wasn’t fond of being touched by humans other than Mo Yi, his territory instincts as a monster were strong.
He had already avoided them several times, yet these two humans were persistent. So, he decided to play along with them.
Bai Ren sighed inwardly, remembering Mo Yi’s advice not to stand out too much.
But these two humans were trying so hard to get close to him, so Bai Ren decided to play along with them just this once. He had no interest in this pushing and shoving game.
Bai Ren, being good-natured, didn’t realize that Mo Yi’s anger had flared up when he noticed the actions of those two individuals.
Perhaps Bai Ren didn’t fully understand their intentions, but Mo Yi did. They wanted to push ordinary humans like themselves into the midst of monsters, they were clearly after his companion’s life!
Seeing this, Old Luo and Liang San timely approach and surrounded Bai Ren, clearly keeping an eye on those who had just made the move, preventing them from doing anything further.
Obviously, after being discovered, those two individuals dared not to do anything else, only able to cower behind the crowd in frustration.
Because if they wanted to harm everyone, they obviously didn’t have the strength for it. But if they wanted to escape, they would have to navigate through these layers of monsters, which was impossible.
However, at this moment, they still held onto a glimmer of hope, thinking that as long as they made it back to the base alive, they could just leave the team and follow Huang Fuyue, who would surely arrange something for them.
Mo Yi’s fighting speed had increased by more than twice from before, killing one monster after another, opening the path and pushing Bai Ren out to the car. After making sure all the other team members were in the car, Mo Yi finally got on, sitting beside Bai Ren.
“Drive,” Mo Yi said with an unpleasant expression.
The group drove the car, pushing through the monsters, finally breaking free from the encirclement.

Among those who got off the car were the two individuals who had targeted Bai Ren earlier.
They had been hiding in the other car the whole time, eagerly anticipating returning to the base. However, for some reason, the car stopped halfway.
Upon hearing the calls from the others, they had no choice but to get off the car.
Mo Yi didn’t say much after seeing the two individuals, walking over and punching one of them to the ground. Then, with a kick, Mo Yi sent the other flying.
The force was tremendous, sending the person flying until they hit a large tree trunk not far away, spitting out blood and passing out.
Ordinary people naturally couldn’t have such strength, but Mo Yi and many others in the team had undergone enhancements from the drug. Mo Yi, being one of the top performers, it wasn’t surprising.
Liang San, seeing the broken nose and bloodstains on the ground from the other person who hadn’t passed out yet, recalled his own beating from that day, feeling a faint pain on his face even now.
But it also confirmed that at that time, Mo Yi really did show mercy to him.
“Who sent you?” Mo Yi asked coldly.
He wouldn’t believe these two individuals would attack Bai Ren without a reason.
Upon hearing this, the person, ignoring the pain, looked up and saw the killing intent in Mo Yi’s eyes. Thinking of his companion who was now thrown far away, their fate uncertain, he trembled and replied, “It was, it was Huang Fuyue. It was him, he said, told us to find an opportunity to push Bai Ren into the monster pile when everyone was out on a mission together.”
“Huang. Fu. Yue!”
Mo Yi gritted his teeth as he uttered those three words. It was Huang Fuyue who instigated these people to attack Bai Ren, but Mo Yi didn’t find it surprising at all.
Though Mo Yi didn’t know the reason, since that person wanted to harm his partner, Mo Yi wouldn’t let him off easily.
Not intending to waste any more time on these two lackeys, especially since the other members of the team had also heard the person’s confession, Mo Yi instructed Old Luo and Liang San to drag the other half-dead guy onto the car. Turning his head, Mo Yi saw Bai Ren standing behind him, seemingly having appeared there out of nowhere.
Mo Yi wondered how much his partner had seen.
“Mo Yi, what’s wrong? Why do you look upset?” Bai Ren could tell his human was angry, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Bai Ren didn’t want Mo Yi to be unhappy, and he could tell that those two humans who had tried to play some silly game with him were the cause of Mo Yi’s unhappiness.
“No, I’m not upset,” Mo Yi hurriedly said, “Why did you come out of the car? I told you to rest inside.”
“I wanted to be with you, so I came out to find you,” Bai Ren smiled gently, softening Mo Yi’s expression slightly.
Mo Yi suddenly thought, if his partner’s body wasn’t so special, not needing to fear the monsters and spores, but just an ordinary person, wouldn’t that mean…
What happened next, Mo Yi didn’t dare to imagine.
It was all his fault!
“I’m sorry,” Mo Yi said sincerely, looking at Bai Ren with eyes full of guilt. “I didn’t protect you.”
Bai Ren, upon hearing Mo Yi’s words, finally realized something was wrong.
“The two people you just dealt with, weren’t they just playing with me?”
Upon hearing this, not only Mo Yi but also the others in the nearby team felt a pang of heartache.
The apocalypse tested human nature greatly, and such innocence was rare to come by. Although Bai Ren seemed like a fool, Mo Yi had taken good care of him, and Bai Ren hadn’t caused any trouble to anyone. Why would Huang Fuyue resort to such vicious methods?
“No,” Mo Yi shook his head.
“They wanted to hurt you. Don’t worry, I won’t make the same mistake again. I’ll be extra careful in the future, and I won’t let something like this happen again.”
Mo Yi said, lowering his gaze. If his ears and tail were still intact, it would probably droop.
Then, he heard the person opposite him say excitedly, “So, you beat up those two people just because of me? You were protecting me?”
Meeting his partner’s hopeful gaze, Mo Yi naturally nodded, only to be embraced tightly by Bai Ren.
Knowing that Mo Yi had been protecting him, Bai Ren felt extremely happy and excited. Didn’t this mean that Mo Yi cared about him?
After a hearty kiss on the cheek, Bai Ren continued, “Thank you, Mo Yi, you’re so good to me! How could you be so kind, and you beat them up so easily, you’re amazing!”
Seeing his partner not only not blaming him but also praising him endlessly, with eyes full of stars, Mo Yi’s sense of loss diminished significantly.
“That, it’s nothing, I’ll be even better next time, and I’ll protect you well!”
Mo Yi said, involuntarily joining in the silly laughter.
The other team members noticed their interaction and understood why their captain liked Bai Ren so much.
Having such a good-looking and sweet partner, they wanted one too!
So, the two of them affectionately boarded the car and returned to the Anping base.
And sure enough, when they got off the car, they saw Huang Fuyue near the entrance of the base.
Mo Yi had already guessed that since such orders had been given, Huang Fuyue would definitely want to come and see the outcome as soon as possible.
Seeing that Bai Ren was still safe and sound, Huang Fuyue frowned, thinking that perhaps those two people hadn’t found an opportunity to strike today.
Little did he know his scheme was exposed. As soon as he raised his head and met Mo Yi’s gaze, he pretended to be relaxed, smiled and greeted Mo Yi, “Mo Yi, you’re back.”
Mo Yi twitched the corner of his mouth in response, “Yeah, thanks to Brother Yue’s care, we were able to come back safely. It wasn’t easy.”
There was an underlying meaning in Mo Yi’s words, and Huang Fuyue’s brow furrowed in response. “Mo Yi, what do you mean by that?”
“What do I mean?” Mo Yi sneered sarcastically, then directly pulled the two people he had dealt with out of the other car and threw them to the ground.
Seeing the two individuals in a sorry state, Huang Fuyue couldn’t be any clearer about the situation. Surely, the matter he had instructed them to do had been exposed, and these two guys had probably already spilled the beans.
But with no evidence, and having been cautious when he approached those two, ensuring that no one else saw him, he naturally wouldn’t admit it.
Frowning, he said, “What’s wrong with them? Mo Yi, let’s talk about this properly. They are our teammates; we can’t resort to violence so easily.”
What a turn of events! Mo Yi almost laughed out of frustration. Without beating around the bush, he directly shouted in front of everyone in the base, “Huang Fuyue, you instructed these two individuals to push Bai Ren into the monster pile when we were surrounded. What were your intentions!”
“Don’t tell me it wasn’t you. They confessed themselves that you ordered them to do it. All the members present can testify to this.”
“You have instructed someone to harm Bai Ren today, but who’s to say tomorrow it won’t be me, or anyone else for that matter!?”
Mo Yi didn’t give Huang Fuyue a chance to retort, finishing his statement in one breath.
While speaking, he glanced around, pulling everyone around him into the situation, instilling a sense of crisis.
Mo Yi knew that relying solely on the testimony of these two individuals wasn’t enough evidence, but even so, it was better to expose the truth in public rather than keep it hidden.
Due to the recent incident of hiding medical supplies, Huang Fuyue’s reputation had already taken a hit.
Sure enough, after hearing Mo Yi’s words, the onlookers started whispering among themselves.
