Huang Fuyue immediately denied, “There’s absolutely no such thing. Mo Yi, don’t let them deceive you. There must be some misunderstanding here!”
“What other misunderstanding could there be? Why would they say it was you who instructed them, instead of someone else?” Old Luo chimed in.
Their leader had already torn apart this guy’s face, and Old Luo had long held a grudge against him, so he naturally stood up to speak as well.
Huang Fuyue gritted his teeth with hatred upon hearing this, directly looking at the two individuals he had previously placed by Mo Yi’s side, hoping they could clear his name.
However, having witnessed Mo Yi’s power, the two individuals dared not lie for their own benefit.
Considering Mo Yi’s impulsive nature, if they lied and angered him, they might end up with a fist to their faces right then and there!
Even with all the credit they were given, it wouldn’t be worth their lives.
“Yes, it was you! You instructed us. You promised us a large amount of credit points if we followed your orders, and once we returned to the base, you would arrange better positions for us!”
“Exactly! Captain Mo, please believe us, we would never lie to you!”
They were eager for Mo Yi to redirect the focus onto Huang Fuyue, not to dwell on their own mistakes any longer.
So, they hastily pointed their finger at Huang Fuyue, fearing they might be too late in doing so.
“Don’t listen to their fabrications. Mo Yi, believe me, you know what kind of person I am!” Huang Fuyue said firmly.
But Mo Yi just sneered, “Yes, I do know what kind of person you are. I always regarded you as a big brother. But it ended when I saw you secretly hoarding so many supplies and medicines.
During the previous epidemic, so many children were in danger. My sister almost knelt down and prayed to heaven for help, yet you had the heart to hide so much medicine. Your character leaves much to be desired.”
After Mo Yi finished speaking, the people around them became even less discreet in their gestures of pointing and whispering Huang Fuyue.
However, both sides actually lacked evidence for this matter. Huang Fuyue was adamant in his denial, and with his status and position, if Mo Yi were to do anything to him in public, he wouldn’t be able to escape the responsibility either.
Mo Yi was also well aware of that, and this was the reason why he deliberately made the matter known to everyone.
He wanted to extinguish any hope Huang Fuyue had of advancing further in position. Even if this guy was just a stumbling block and not the last boss, daring to lay hands on his partner meant he wouldn’t have an easy time.
Wasn’t Huang Fuyue the one who most liked to play the role of a hypocrite, the one who cared the most about his popularity and reputation?

But it was unlikely they would return to the guard team. Having offended the Mo siblings, how could they expect to find good livelihoods elsewhere? Not being directly expelled from the base was already the best outcome.
Next, Huang Fuyue’s situation took a nosedive. The people who had been deceived by his superficial kindness slowly woke up to who he really was. Some who had followed him without knowing his true nature also chose to distance themselves from him.
Even if not for the sake of justice, being associated with such cunning and two-faced person would likely lead to a miserable end for them.
“What’s going on, brother!”
With a bang, Huang Fuman kicked open the door of Huang Fuyue’s study, looking at him with anger and frustration.
“Why is that Bai Ren still alive and well? And do you know that everyone in the entire base is talking about you? They’re saying…”
With a slap on the table, Huang Fuyue forcefully interrupted the woman’s words.
“Shut up!”
Huang Fuman was startled by the fierce expression on her elder brother’s face, and she dared not say another word.
She watched as Huang Fuyue, sitting in his chair, breathed heavily, clearly enraged to the extreme.
After a long while, the man’s mood seemed to calm down, and he said coldly to Huang Fuman, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter.”
At this moment, Huang Fuyue also hardened his heart. All of this was forced upon him by the Mo siblings!
A few days later, Mo Huaiyu suddenly received news from the nearby Dahe Base, saying they were coming to Anping Base to discuss cooperation between the two bases.
Of course, this was just on the surface.
If everything was as the other side claimed, it would be fine. However, Dahe Base was rumored not to be a pleasant place, but the specifics were unclear.
All that was known was that the base had recently experienced a sudden surge in development.
So Mo Huaiyu did not refuse, but instead made some preparations for their arrival.
If the other side truly intended to establish an alliance between the two bases in the nearby city, that would be good. But if they had any evil intentions, defensive measures would have to be taken promptly.
After all, in the apocalypse, instances of bases ruthlessly devouring each other were not unheard of.
“Sister, did you say people from the Dahe Base are coming?”
Upon hearing about this from Mo Huaiyu, Mo Yi furrowed his brow.
Having seen the original plotline, he naturally knew that the people from the Dahe Base were not to be trifled with. However, their early arrival was ahead of the time compared to what depicted in the original plot.
“Sister, I have a bad feeling about this. I think we should be careful,” Mo Yi reminded Mo Huaiyu.
The female lead nodded approvingly, feeling reassured that her younger brother was thinking so comprehensively. She smiled and said, “You’re thinking just like me. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”
As they discussed matters between them, Bai Ren, who had been following behind Mo Yi, suddenly raised his head from fiddling with the Rubik’s Cube that Mo Yi had somehow acquired.
Then, as if by chance, Bai Ren casually turned his head to glance around before slowly returning his attention to the toy in his hands, as if nothing had happened.
However, that night, once Bai Ren confirmed that Mo Yi was asleep beside him, he quietly got up, transformed into a vine, and slipped out through the open window.
Climbing silently along the dark vine under the cover of night, Bai Ren stealthily moved through the base until he reached an empty alley. There, he reassembled into his human form and quickly returned to his original appearance.
The alley was nearly devoid of moonlight, with only occasional faint reflections from the wet patches on the ground.
Once Bai Ren appeared, the water traces from the supermarket also gathered together, rapidly forming into a humanoid shape in front of him.
However, this form was merely superficial. Although the figure before him resembled a tall and handsome adult male, his skin had an abnormal greenish hue, his short hair was the color of mud, and his pupils gleamed with a bright golden color.
He opened his mouth, feeling uncomfortable for a while, before speaking in a strange tone, uttering two words.
“Number 0.”
“It’s not Number 0 anymore.” Bai Ren tilted his head. “It’s Bai Ren, Number 666.”
“Bai… Ren, the name of a human being.” 666 struggled to express.
Bai Ren nodded, feeling somewhat intrigued by this powerful creature of his kind.
He remembered that back in the research institute, this entity didn’t even have a stable form and resembled a puddle of mud, devoid of any intelligence or consciousness.
But now, it seemed to have evolved into an intelligent being just like himself.
However, it was clear that this entity had only recently gained intelligence, as it still struggled with its appearance and communication skills.
Despite this, Bai Ren was still pleased. He couldn’t quite explain why, but perhaps it was because there was finally someone else in this world who was like him.
As Bai Ren pondered, he saw the man opposite him reach out as if to touch him, only to be easily avoided by Bai Ren.
666 seemed surprised by Bai Ren’s dodge, as he was merely curious.
He grew rapidly after gaining consciousness, yet remained naive about the world. He had memories of everything that happened in the research institute, but the past was still unclear to him.
Now, he was slowly understanding the world around him. He began to feel lonely, craving companionship and interaction with others.
However, those mindless entities weren’t his kind, and most humans only viewed him with fear and dread, which he disliked.
It was until recently that 666 finally accepted his identity. Yet, there was still a sense of discomfort lingering within him.
He realized he didn’t want to be alone. Even if he was meant to be a monster, he couldn’t bear the loneliness.
Deciding to enter this base to investigate, he never expected to encounter Number 0 again.
In this world, perhaps only Number 0 was truly his kind!
Bai Ren didn’t sense 666’s joy but didn’t feel any hostility from him either.
“What are you here for?” Bai Ren asked him.
“To see, to observe,” 666 answered after some thought.
Bai Ren didn’t find anything wrong with that. He came to find Number 0 out of curiosity and to assess any potential threat to the place he and Mo Yi called home.
Not wanting Mo Yi to discover his departure, Bai Ren added, “No attacking here,” then he turned into vines and left.
Although disappointed that Bai Ren didn’t want to continue their conversation, 666 nodded in understanding.
Compared to humans, he preferred listening to his fellow creature’s advice.
As Bai Ren was passing by a certain apartment on his way back, he suddenly heard strange noises coming from inside.
The voices belonged to two men, one of whom sounded like he was crying, but it was also different, a sound he had never heard before.
The vine hesitated for a moment before extending towards the window.
Bai Ren peeked inside and saw the scene, opening the door to a whole new world!
Oh my, Bai Ren was peeping 🫣🫣🫣😳😳😳
Awww! Can we please redeem Number 666? He’s kind of cute! And it’s not exactly his fault this whole mess started.
