"Boss, was something about your stay uncomfortable? Why are you leaving so soon?"
"Nothing was uncomfortable. We have another mission!" Bai Yaoyao had no idea why Xiao Yufei kept calling her boss, and she couldn't be bothered to explain.
Xiao Yufei immediately read all sorts of things into that. He nodded hastily and said, "Rest assured, you can leave City L Base to me. I'll do everything in my power to keep the people safe! I won't betray your trust!
"I'll also show you how much I've grown, finalize a practical implementation plan for the base as soon as possible, advance every aspect of our work promptly and systematically, build a new, people-centered base, establish a comprehensive system for training ability users, and gradually move toward..."
Bai Yaoyao listened expressionlessly to Xiao Yufei spouting bullshit she could barely understand.
It sounded like some kind of work report, all fucking empty rhetoric. What plan? How would he implement it? How would he move things forward? How would he improve the system?
He hadn't mentioned a single thing that mattered. He'd blathered on forever without saying anything useful.
Bai Yaoyao said, "Stop!"
"You seem to have misunderstood. My mission was to investigate the situation at this base, and I dealt with a few problems along the way.
"I'm not your boss, and you don't need to promise me anything. We're just an ordinary special ability team from City D."
Xiao Yufei nodded rapidly. "Understood, understood! I get it!"
After saying that... he became even more respectful.
Xiao Yufei had complete faith in his instincts. An ordinary special ability team? Sure, they were ordinary! So ordinary that one team had wiped out all Three Great Factions at the base!
So ordinary that one team had driven back the tens of thousands of zombies
