Chen Chaoyang instantly dropped the food they were holding and quickly ran over to Tang Ye, standing attentively in front of him, giving Ah Fu no chance to throw anything at them.
Tang Ye glanced at the two with a ferocious expression then said: "You two, go into the base first. I’ll sneak in later tonight."
"We’re going in? Boss, okay, right now, right? We’ll go now!" Chen Chaoyang cheered imdiately upon hearing this.
Ever since he started following Tang Ye, he had felt uncomfortable and deprived of freedom. At ho, even his parents didn’t dare to control him, but here he was treated as less than a human by Tang Ye. Despite this, he couldn’t retaliate. Now that he could montarily get away from Tang Ye, he was imdiately filled with joy!
With that said, Chen Chaoyang and Li Xiaoyan began gathering their things in preparation to enter Yindan Base. But Tang Ye spoke up again.
"Wait, take my... daughter in with you."
Tang Ye paused slightly when his gaze landed on Nannan, but he still referred to her as his daughter. After all, her persistent calls of "daddy" over the past days weren’t in vain.
It was enough to soften Tang Ye’s ever-hardening and cold heart.
"Huh? Oh, okay then."
Chen Chaoyang was montarily stunned, unintentionally glancing at Nannan. His head felt a bit heavy, but in the end, he reluctantly agreed.
This Nannan was such a brat, she almost drove him into madness these past few days!
"Go on, I’ll co find you when I get in. Make sure I can find you. Also, nothing can happen to my...daughter, otherwise..."
Swish!
As he spoke, Tang Ye’s eyes suddenly turned icy cold, filled with a terrifying murderous intent. A bone spike violently shot out, plunging into the ground to create a deep hole, clearly a warning to Chen Chaoyang and the others.
Witnessing Tang Ye’s threatening gesture, their pupils dilated with a sense of fear spreading in their hearts. They hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, boss, we’ll make sure nothing happens to her!"
Having said this, Chen Chaoyang had Li Xiaoyan carry the sleeping Nannan towards Yindan Base. Tang Ye watched them leave until they disappeared from his sight.
Arriving at the entrance of Yindan Base, Chen Chaoyang and Li Xiaoyan, who was holding Nannan, appeared at the Identity Registration station!
"Hold up, you two look unfamiliar. Are you newcors? Huh? Your clothes are clean?"
The soldiers at the entrance questioned Chaochaoyang and Li Xiaoyan after seeing them, expressing surprise at their much cleaner clothing compared to the other survivors.
"Hehe, we ca from Lin City. We’re here to apply for a registration card, hehe."
Seemingly knowledgeable about the base’s registration procedure, Chen Chaoyang dove straight to the point when he t the soldier.
"From Lin City? You’ve travelled a long way... were you not attacked by the undead?"
After hearing that the two had co from Lin City, astonishnt crossed the soldier’s face. Although the distance between Liang City and Lin City wasn’t far, the fact that they made it to Yindan Base probably ant that they weren’t ordinary people.
The soldier wanted to say more, but Chen Chaoyang placed his hands on the table in front and pretended to feel relaxed. Unexpectedly, as soon as his hands touched the table, it collapsed.
Chen Chaoyang swiftly retracted his hands and pretended to be guilty. "I...I’m sorry about that. I really don’t know what happened. A few days ago, my strength suddenly increased. I ca here to... to ask a doctor what is happening to !"
Chen Chaoyang had purposely pressed down on the table. He knew that although the application process was straightforward, once inside the base, as a privileged rich kid accustod to a life of comfort, he wouldn’t want to be with lowly survivors. Therefore, he destroyed the table to grab the soldiers’ attention, making them realize that he’s a New Human, and recomnded him to enter the Noble Zone!
This would make things easier down the line, he wouldn’t even need to undergo a virus test – it’s a shortcut!
As expected, the soldier’s face changed imdiately after witnessing Chen Chaoyang’s strength. He instantly beca obsequious.
"You... You, are you..."
"What happened? I also don’t know what’s going on." Chen Chaoyang feigned a puzzled look, but only he knew what he was thinking.
"No worries, we’re all here to serve the people. Just tell your na, get your picture taken, and I’ll bring you inside. Your registration card will be ready in a few days."
The soldier respectfully addressed Chen Chaoyang, while the other soldiers showed signs of urgency on their faces.
The governnt had a rule: If soone recomnded a New Human to the governnt, they would receive extensive rewards. Although the rewards consisted of food and supplies, these were valuable commodities in a post-apocalyptic world, enough to make any soldier green with envy!
The fact that Chen Chaoyang casually collapsed a table clearly indicated that he was a New Human.
A smug grin spread across Chen Chaoyang’s face. He was well aware of these rules as they were the sa at Qinshan Base.
"Alright, let’s go then."
"Okay, follow ."
The soldier gleefully led Chen Chaoyang into Yindan Base, just as Li Xiaoyan, who was holding Nannan, was about to follow, he was stopped by other soldiers.
"Hold on, he’s allowed in doesn’t an you are too, what’s your na, and who’s the kid, are you her..."
"Hey, what’s the problem? He’s my friend, why won’t you let him in? "
Hearing Li Xiaoyan was being held back, Chen Chaoyang spoke up. As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier who was leading him in sternly shouted at his colleagues: "Enough! If he’s his friend, let him in. Don’t make things difficult for people! Just tell us your na."
"Oh, I’m Li Xiaoyan. I ca here with my friend... And she’s...uh...." Li Xiaoyan quickly responded, stating his na, but when it ca to introducing Nannan, he stamred. He didn’t know Nannan’s na and wasn’t sure how to explain.
Just as the soldiers began to look suspicious, Chen Chaoyang promptly explained: "We rescued this child, we don’t know her na. Her parents are probably dead."
After saying this, Chen Chaoyang gave Nannan an apologetic look. Saying that her parents were dead made him feel like a terrible person...
Luckily, Nannan, being so young, couldn’t talk yet. Otherwise... Chen Chaoyang shuttered at the thought.
During these few days with Tang Ye, he concluded that Nannan was probably Tang Ye’s biological daughter. Tang Ye might have retained his sanity because of his deep attachnt to his daughter when he was bitten.
The reason for Chen Chaoyang’s speculation was that in the Research Institute’s various experints on the zombies, they discovered that so zombies would temporarily recover so self-awareness when their loved ones shouted at them. However, they would just pause for a mont before mindlessly attacking!
Whether zombies that retained their consciousness existed was uncertain. However, in this vast world, anything was possible. One could never be too sure about these types of things.
