As soon as the Mo siblings left, Bai Ren and Lu Xing exchanged a glance. Lu Xing swiftly donned the disguise to conceal his appearance and followed Bai Ren to catch up with Mo Yi and Mo Huaiyu.
Given the suspicious circumstances and potential danger, they couldn’t possibly let the two humans go alone. Meanwhile, Mo Yi and Mo Huaiyu had already left, unaware of Bai Ren and Lu Xing trailing behind.
When Mo Yi and Mo Huaiyu noticed Bai Ren and Lu Xing following them, it was already too late. Seeing his partner joining him, Mo Yi felt uncomfortable but was soon comforted by Bai Ren, who grabbed his wrist gently.
“Mo Yi, don’t be upset. Don’t make me go back. I’ll worry about you,” Bai Ren said softly, his gaze pleading. Mo Yi couldn’t bring himself to complain, understanding Bai Ren’s feelings. He knew that if the roles were reversed, he would also be unable to sit idly by and would do everything to ensure his partner’s safety.
“All right,” Mo Yi finally relented, squeezing Bai Ren’s hand. No matter what, he would protect him. The fact that these monsters showed little aggression towards Bai Ren, considering him as a ‘fellow,’ also eased his mind.
Lu Xing positioned himself next to Mo Huaiyu, silently conveying a sense of protection. Although he didn’t speak, his posture indicated his readiness to defend.
The others weren’t surprised to see Bai Ren and Lu Xing following. Bai Ren had always been closely attached to Mo Yi. To avoid trouble, Mo Huaiyu had already provided Lu Xing with a new identity. His existence in Dahe Base was kept secret, known only to a few high-ranking individuals like Cen Yushu and Yi Bin.
They couldn’t openly reveal Lu Xing’s identity, as that would essentially acknowledge their connection with the monsters. They simply referred to Lu Xing as “Brother Liu.”
Now, Lu Xing had a new name, and due to his plant-like nature, he could conveniently change his appearance. Mo Huaiyu instructed him to make his humanoid form slightly shorter and leaner than before.
Thus, even those who had interacted with Dahe Base before couldn’t recognize the current appearance of Lu Xing as the same person they knew as Brother Liu.
Lu Xing usually covered himself well when going out, claiming to be ill and sensitive to light. Spending most of his time with the Mo siblings also helped in keeping his identity concealed.
Standing atop the high wall surrounding the base, Mo Yi observed the gathering of monsters below, numbering in the thousands, an uncommon sight. These monsters typically didn’t gather like this; they lacked the evolutionary abilities seen in movies. Aside from Lu Xing, who had some control and suppression capabilities, the others were mostly scattered.
However, the current situation was unprecedented, with the monsters actively attacking the base’s gates upon the appearance of Mo Yi and the others behind the protective wall.
Despite reinforcing the gates for self-defense, the guards were still terrified by the onslaught of flower-faced monsters.
“Captain, Sister Mo, what should we do?” Xiao Yingzi asked anxiously, her scalp tingling at the sight of the monsters.
Mo Yi furrowed his brow, picked up a long pole left by someone nearby, and tossed it at the monsters below, piercing three of them together.
But it was evident that this method wouldn’t kill the monsters; at best, it would temporarily hinder the injured ones.

So, he quickly instructed people to notify others. The elderly, weak, women, and children without combat abilities were to be temporarily relocated to a safe place. It was crucial to ensure their safety, as they would be the most vulnerable in case of an actual emergency.
After giving these orders, Mo Yi and the others continued to stand on the city wall, attacking the monsters below in various ways. However, this pace was too slow for Mo Yi, especially considering that although Anping Base had decent protection, they had never faced such concentrated attacks before. Staying on the high ground was obviously not sufficient.
With this in mind, Mo Yi whispered to Bai Ren beside him, “Wait for me here for a moment.” Then he descended to the outer perimeter of the city wall and began to battle the monsters on the ground.
Seeing this, the other members of the guard team followed suit. However, even though Mo Yi was strong, this world wasn’t one of magic or cultivation. Despite being able to channel some energy, there was no area-of-effect skill, and killing one monster at a time would take a lot of time.
Moreover, it was evident that the combat abilities of the others were inferior to Mo Yi’s.
With many people around, Bai Ren could only stay on the city wall, his eyes fixed firmly on Mo Yi. Until the crucial moment, he couldn’t intervene and reveal himself.
Despite the valiant efforts of the guard team, the base’s gate was still breached.
This was extremely dangerous for the base’s security. Bai Ren and Lu Xing couldn’t afford to wait any longer. They quickly descended from the city wall and rushed to the entrance.
Lu Xing even used the remaining portion of his authority to intimidate the monsters, causing them to scatter and preventing them from approaching the entrance and entering the base.
However, ordinary humans couldn’t perceive this kind of authority, so those around them just felt they were incredibly lucky. All the monsters were busy attacking other areas, and not a single one tried to break through the breach.
But then, the situation in the battle became even more dire.
For some unknown reason, the monsters suddenly became more agitated, making it even harder for the guard team to handle them.
Just at that moment, several off-road vehicles sped in, crushing several monsters in their path, providing them with some breathing room.
Following the vehicles, a group of people disembarked, and everyone instantly recognized them as the people from Dahe Base.
Among them was their leader, Cen Feng, a dignified-looking middle-aged man in his forties.
However, the most eye-catching figure among them was not the leader of Dahe Base but Huang Fuyue, who had disappeared before the eyes of everyone.
“Huang Fuyue, you dare to come back!”
Swinging his machete to kill another monster, Old Luo turned his head, shouting angrily at Huang Fuyue.
This person had previously colluded with the people from Dahe Base, conspiring to take over their base. They hadn’t forgotten about this incident!
Although his disappearance was strange, now appearing together with the people from Dahe Base further confirmed their suspicions.
However, what was strange was that although nobody answered his question, the people from Dahe Base immediately began to fight alongside them against the monsters. This puzzled the people from Anping Base.
Could it be that the arrival of those vehicles was intentional?
With the help of these people from Dahe Base, the remaining monsters were quickly eliminated, and it seemed like the crisis had been averted on the surface.
At this moment, the people from the two bases stood facing each other, seemingly turning into a human confrontation.
Dahe Base sent quite a few people, but there were even more people from Anping Base.
At this moment, Cen Feng suddenly spoke up, loudly addressing the crowd, “The previous incidents were all misunderstandings. Although Cen Yushu’s actions were inappropriate, our intention to take over here was definitely not driven by selfish motives.”
“Stop talking nonsense like a dog!” Old Luo retorted without hesitation.
Hearing this, Mo Yi couldn’t help but glance at him. Nonsense was nonsense; what did dogs have to do with it?
But since this guy was blatantly lying, it was justified to retort.
On the side, Mo Huaiyu, mindful of the fact that these people had just helped them, patted Old Luo’s shoulder to stop him from speaking.
Suddenly, the other side looked angry and turned to Mo Huaiyu, saying, “When we came earlier, it was to protect the people here because the Mo siblings are nothing but minions of the monsters! Huang Fuyue knew about this, which is why he came to help. Unexpectedly, he’s being falsely accused!”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Yeah, that’s ridiculous.”
Upon hearing this, the people from Anping Base accused Cen Feng of talking nonsense, feeling that he was simply making things up.
But Huang Fuyue, who was standing beside him, suddenly spoke up loudly, “Haven’t you all noticed that those monsters never came close to those two individuals?”
Huang Fuyue’s gaze fell on Bai Ren and Lu Xing.
Although the situation was chaotic at the time, the fact that those monsters avoided the breached area left a deep impression.
Thinking back now, the situation did seem strange. When they looked at Bai Ren and Mo Yi, the crowd’s eyes were filled with suspicion and curiosity.
Immediately, he pointed directly at Lu Xing standing beside Mo Huaiyu and said, “If you all think I’m lying, then ask Mo Huaiyu if she dares to let this person reveal his face!”
Upon hearing this, Mo Huaiyu’s heart skipped a beat. Lu Xing’s appearance was completely different from that of a normal human. If his face were revealed, wouldn’t their secret be completely exposed?
“Lu Xing is ill and can’t tolerate light. Asking him to reveal his face is just malicious!” Xiao Yingzi said angrily, her words echoed by some, but others, watching Cen Feng and Huang Fuyue’s confident demeanor, began to waver.
Seeing this, Huang Fuyue subtly smirked and said, “Just one look shouldn’t cost him his life, right?”
Sure enough, these words garnered quite a bit of support.
If Lu Xing continued to refuse, he would surely be seen as suspicious.
Faced with this situation, Mo Huaiyu tried hard to think of a solution, her lips tightly pursed, while Mo Yi also furrowed his brow.
Suddenly, behind Lu Xing, someone grabbed his hat and pulled it off, revealing his swamp-colored hair.
What’s more, although the man’s face was covered with a mask, normally hidden by the lowered hat, pulling it off exposed his ears and green skin on his cheeks, completely revealing his identity!
Uh oh
Those bastards!
Thank you for the update.
Thank you so much for the chapter!!!
Thank you so very much for the chapter!!~♥️
I hate people who think that the world revolves around them and think that they are the main character in everybody’s lives, namely Huang Fuyue.
Hope they get what’s coming. 😠😠
Thanks for the chapters 🩷🩷
