The exhaustion in Elder Chen's eyes was plain to see. He was just about to speak when Bai Yaoyao brought the spring water straight to his lips.
Elder Chen could only drink it first. In an instant, all his physical discomfort vanished. Apart from some lingering mental fatigue, he felt perfectly fine.
Only then did he speak. "This time, I looked three months into the future. The first two months were fine. Zombies occasionally came to cause trouble at the base gates, but they were really just delivering crystal cores. They never amounted to much.
"But at the three-month mark, around day ninety-one, three people came to the base at night. One of them seemed to have a high-level psychic ability. They slipped over the wall without alerting anyone.
"They went straight to the girl who commands the troops. An argument broke out, and in the end, they even tried to take her away. They spent a long time searching her and her room for something.
"They found nothing, then went to see someone else. After giving him some instructions, they left.
"As for what they said, I couldn't hear it."
Bai Yaoyao frowned slightly. They had come for Ouyang Ling and argued with her? Searched for something?
She immediately remembered the bracelet that could absorb the special ability energy inside its wearer.
They were probably after that thing. She had studied it many times herself but still hadn't uncovered any secrets.
"Elder Chen, the person they went to see last... who was it?" Though Bai Yaoyao had a rough guess, she still wanted confirmation.
Elder Chen opened his mouth, hesitating. "It was... a boy who follows Hao. I couldn't hear what they said, so I don't want this to turn out to be a misunderstanding. He...
"Ah."
