Now that the base is in its initial stages, the girls have a lot of work on their hands, so it's impossible for everyone to go verify the news of the new Xenomorph. After some discussion, Zuo Feng decided to lead Da Yuanyuan and Xiao She Jing to investigate. To ensure safety, he also brought Wood Jingjing.
This trip was primarily for investigation. Zuo Feng wouldn't rashly make a capture plan before seeing the new Xenomorph's strength. Bringing Da Yuanyuan was mainly because Zuo Feng wanted to conquer Da Yuanyuan these few days. As for Xiao She Jing, with a new Xenomorph appearing, he needed to choose which girl it would belong to.
The next morning, Zuo Feng and his two companions left Firefly Base and headed towards W City, where the new Xenomorph had appeared.
Along the way, Da Yuanyuan drove the commercial vehicle, while Zuo Feng enjoyed the scenery in the back seat and teased Xiao She Jing.
Ying'er was also in the car, with Ying Xingxing and Ying Yueyue sleeping soundly on Ying'er's shoulder.
On Zuo Feng's shoulder sat Wood Jingjing, carrying two Python Branch Giant Tree seeds and half of other plant seeds. It occasionally patted Zuo Feng's cheek with its small hand, appearing very lively.
Xiao She Jing rolled her eyes from time to time, thinking to herself that Feng Ge, being so lecherous, surely had no good intentions in bringing her out.
W City was about a three-hour drive from X City. The three set off early, and when they arrived at Black Lotus Base, it was only nine in the morning.
When the group arrived at Black Lotus Base, as soon as they entered the city gate, Zuo Feng's impression of this Black Lotus Base was greatly diminished. The city gate was dilapidated and extremely dirty, which was common in the apocalypse, of course. But now, Zuo Feng and his group were stopped by the guards at the entrance and asked for a search.
The guard's attitude was lewd, staring up and down at the girls behind Zuo Feng, with greed flickering in his eyes.
Zuo Feng frowned, subtly blocking the girls, and forced a smile. He secretly slipped a can of food to the guard: "Big brother, we're just adventurers. We want to rest here for a few days and then leave. Please make it convenient for us."
Zuo Feng didn't plan to be too high-profile, because Meng Yuyan had specifically mentioned being wary of the leader of Black Lotus Base. The best plan was to enter the base discreetly and gather information.
For ordinary guards like this, one can of food was usually enough to send them away.
The guard took the can of food, and an even more greedy look appeared in his eyes, but he still didn't budge, his finger gently tapping the gun on his waist, hinting at more benefits.
Zuo Feng gritted his teeth, cursing inwardly: Insatiably greedy.
He took out a bag of instant noodles from his backpack and handed it to the guard, his smile even wider: "Big brother, we really are here to rest. Please accept this small token of our appreciation."
The guard weighed the instant noodles, finally nodded, and waved them through.
As Zuo Feng was about to lead the two girls and Ying'er into the base, they were stopped again by the guard.
"Big brother, is there anything else?" Zuo Feng asked patiently.
The guard's gaze was burning, scanning Da Yuanyuan and Xiao She Jing, and occasionally glancing at Ying'er, who was wrapped in a white robe. These two beautiful, fairy-like women made him lustful, and based on her figure, he concluded that the person wrapped in the white robe was also a woman!
The guard swallowed: "You can go in, but they have to stay. I suspect they were bitten by zombies, and I need to check them carefully."
Zuo Feng's face darkened, but he still had a smile: "Big brother, they are all my companions, absolutely no problem."
He quietly clenched his fists, ready to deal with any sudden situation.
The guard, however, didn't buy it, and chuckled: "I say there's a problem, then there's a problem. If you talk back again, I'll arrest you too!"
With that, he eagerly reached for Da Yuanyuan's ample chest. Since the apocalypse began, he had never seen such a beautiful woman, and one so well-preserved! No! To be precise, he hadn't seen one even before the apocalypse.
It wasn't that he lacked discernment. In this apocalypse, a woman who could maintain herself so well must either be powerful or have a strong backing. But his lust was boundless, and this was Black Lotus Base. Even if the other party was a Mutant, they would have to bow their heads here. Their leader was a strong person who had lit Six Lotus Seeds!
Zuo Feng's eyes turned cold, and he instantly acted, clamping the guard's wrist: "You dare!"
The guard didn't expect Zuo Feng to resist. The intense pain made his face change dramatically, and he roared: "Kid, you're tired of living!"
With that, he pulled out the gun from his waist and aimed it at Zuo Feng's head.
The surrounding guards also drew their guns and gathered around, the atmosphere suddenly tense.
Zuo Feng sneered, his entire body undergoing Metallic Skin, followed by a series of bone-crushing sounds. The guard's wrist was instantly crushed.
Zuo Feng originally wanted to enter Black Lotus Base discreetly, but now, a small, ordinary guard at the gate dared to covet his women. He decided not to endure any longer. If he couldn't enter discreetly, then he would fight his way in with a high profile!
"Ah!" The guard let out a bloodcurdling scream, blood gushing from his broken wrist.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out. The guard, in excruciating pain, pulled the trigger without hesitation. The bullet accurately hit Zuo Feng's head, emitting a crisp metallic clang.
A second-level Metallic Skin could withstand artillery shells; how could a small handgun harm Zuo Feng in the slightest?
He swept a cold glance, his metallic arm suddenly swung out, and he punched the guard several meters away.
The other guards, seeing this, retreated in terror.
"Retreat! This guy is a Mutant! Sound the alarm!"
The piercing alarm sounded, and a large number of armed personnel quickly poured out of the base.
Leading them was a burly middle-aged man with a grim face and cold, triangular eyes. He held a black long saber, its blade wreathed in green poisonous mist, clearly indicating he was a Mutant.
"Where did this brat come from, daring to act wild in my Black Lotus Base!"
He roared, swinging his long saber, and the poisonous mist permeated the air, rushing straight towards Zuo Feng.
A layer of black flame instantly spread over Zuo Feng's body; it was the second-level Black Fire Membrane.
"Clang!" The long saber collided with the Black Fire Membrane, emitting a deafening metallic clang.
The poisonous mist was instantly swallowed by the flames. The middle-aged man's face changed drastically because his third-level long saber melted the moment it touched the Black Fire Membrane! How high must that temperature be! What level of Mutant was this person in front of him?
The middle-aged man was startled, quickly discarded the melted long saber, and retreated rapidly. After just one exchange, he understood that he was no match for the person in front of him.
Zuo Feng snorted coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "You think a mere third-level weapon and poisonous mist can harm me?"
The middle-aged man's face was ashen, and he said in a low voice: "Who are you? Why are you trespassing in my Black Lotus Base!"
Zuo Feng did not answer directly but looked around. The armed personnel of Black Lotus Base surrounded him, but he was unfazed. His Metallic Skin body exuded a cold metallic luster, and the second-level Black Fire Membrane circulated on his body, making him as mighty as a flame warrior.
Zuo Feng sneered: "I'm just here to rest for a few days. Can I go in now?"
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, but he now knew that Zuo Feng's strength far surpassed his own. He needed to buy time. The alarm had already sounded, and the experts in the base would arrive soon.
