At this moment, Pigeon was flying rapidly at high altitude, her eyes still filled with deep confusion.
She still couldn't understand how Firefly had the confidence to contend with Peerless Apocalypse.
However, observing the expressions of Yun Qianqian and Yue Jiaxue, it didn't seem like they were bluffing.
Where did Firefly get the confidence to be fearless of Peerless Apocalypse, and even defeat Peerless Apocalypse?
But confusion aside, Pigeon understood that the top priority was to quickly inform Leader Lu Zhuoyan of this news, and the subsequent response measures would be left to the leader's discretion.
After three hours of flying, Pigeon finally arrived at Huo Yao Base.
She didn't bother to rest and went straight to Lu Zhuoyan's office.
Upon entering, she immediately gave a detailed report of everything she had seen and heard at Firefly Base. Lu Zhuoyan's brows furrowed, and after a moment of silence, he waved Pigeon away, falling into deep thought alone.
Lu Zhuoyan didn't know if Firefly Base had a trump card to deal with Peerless Apocalypse.
But since the other party said so, they must have some reliance, perhaps truly hiding some powerful force.
However, Lu Zhuoyan admitted that he couldn't stand by and do nothing at Huo Yao Base; if he hadn't known, it would have been fine, but since he knew, he couldn't sit idly by. Yet, he also knew that once they confronted a behemoth like Peerless Apocalypse, if Huo Yao Base participated and lost, it would fall into an abyss of no return.
After much deliberation, Lu Zhuoyan decided to personally lead a team of Mutants to provide support; if they were needed, he could also contribute.
However, the most important thing right now was to silently spread the address Yun Qianqian mentioned, as per Zuo Feng's request. Lu Zhuoyan immediately convened the intelligence department to meticulously plan the information dissemination strategy, ensuring that the message was conveyed both discreetly and efficiently.
Inside Huo Yao Base, a middle-aged man with a weathered face, dressed in coarse cloth, was currently in a short-term rented small house.
This middle-aged man was named Yin Moce, a Mutant scout for Peerless Apocalypse.
Recently, for some unknown reason, his leader suddenly ordered a full-scale search for the whereabouts of Firefly Base.
After receiving the mission, Yin Moce went through several twists and turns before finding this Huo Yao Base.
Here, Firefly's leader and those women had once fought against the zombie tide with them, so most people had seen Firefly's people.
But the information was limited to this; it seemed no one knew the exact location of Firefly Base.
Yin Moce naturally wouldn't give up so easily. He tried to contact the high-ranking officials of Huo Yao Base, thinking that it was understandable for those at the bottom not to know Firefly's exact address, but surely someone at the top should know.
Unfortunately, he hadn't gathered any information so far.
Yin Moce was secretly anxious, mainly because if he could find the exact location of Firefly Base this time, he would not only achieve a great achievement but also obtain a six-line zombie crystal, a six-line zombie crystal! That was a rare piece of equipment that could greatly enhance his strength.
Yin Moce had gone all out for this mission, spending almost half of his entire fortune. If he returned empty-handed, his losses would be significant.
"Knock, knock, knock." At this moment, the sound of knocking on the door broke Yin Moce's contemplation.
He frowned slightly. Although he was a scout, he wasn't worried about his identity being exposed at Huo Yao Base; at most, the mission would fail, and the people of Huo Yao Base wouldn't do anything to him.
"Who?" Yin Moce asked in a low voice.
"It's me," a deep male voice came from outside the door. Yin Moce recognized it as the captain of a Mutant squad from Huo Yao Base whom he had met yesterday.
Yin Moce quickly adjusted his expression, opened the door, and smiled, "Captain, what can I do for you?"
The squad leader, wrapped in a large trench coat, wearing big sunglasses, and with his hat brim pulled low, obscuring half his face, cautiously looked around the doorway before whispering, "I have important news, a clue about Firefly Base. Are you interested?"
Yin Moce's heart rejoiced, but he remained calm, quietly saying, "Of course, please come in and speak."
The squad leader quickly slipped inside the room, and after closing the door, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother, weren't you looking for clues about Firefly Base from me? I do have some news here, but I need to see your sincerity first."
Yin Moce was ecstatic but still remained calm: "Of course there's sincerity. As long as the news is reliable, the reward will definitely satisfy you."
The squad leader nodded and said, "The news is absolutely reliable. My second aunt's cousin is in the leader's personal guard. Yesterday, the leader held a meeting to discuss Firefly Base, and my second aunt's cousin overheard the exact address of Firefly."
A glint flashed in Yin Moce's eyes, and he eagerly said, "Quick, tell me, where is the address?"
The squad leader, however, slowly sat down and tapped his finger on the table.
Yin Moce immediately understood, gritted his teeth, pulled out a four-line loss crystal from his pocket, handed it to the squad leader, and said in a deep voice, "This is a deposit. If the information is accurate, there will be a generous reward."
The squad leader glanced at the loss crystal and said disdainfully, "A one-time deal. You're from Peerless Apocalypse. After you get the information and confirm it, then return to Peerless Apocalypse, am I supposed to go to Peerless Apocalypse to ask for payment?"
Yin Moce's brows furrowed. After a moment of thought, he resolutely pulled out two more four-line loss crystals and placed them on the table, his tone firm: "One piece of information, three four-line loss crystals should be enough, right!"
The squad leader pouted, "The people from Firefly helped us defend against the zombie tide; they can be said to be the saviors of our Huo Yao Base. If the news leaks out, not only will my conscience be troubled, but I'll also be taking a big risk... This is..."
Upon hearing this, Yin Moce cursed inwardly, "What conscience do you have?! If you really had a conscience, would you come to me?"
Yin Moce gritted his teeth and pulled out another five-line loss crystal, saying coldly, "This is all my fortune. If you're still not satisfied, please find someone else."
Yin Moce wasn't worried that this squad leader would trick him out of loss crystals. The reason was simple: he was from Peerless Apocalypse.
Unless this squad leader ran away, he could always track him down to recover his losses.
The squad leader was silent for a moment, then pocketed the five-line loss crystal and three four-line loss crystals from the table, and slowly began, "Firefly Base is located at..."
Upon hearing this, Yin Moce's eyes sparkled. He quickly memorized the address.
At the same time, he secretly calculated that he must verify the authenticity of the information as soon as possible. Yin Moce knew that time was of the essence; he wasn't the only intelligence agent who had come this time.
Once the information was confirmed to be correct, he had to act before others, otherwise, all his fortune would be wasted.
Yin Moce suppressed his inner excitement and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, I will verify it as soon as possible."
Immediately, he escorted the squad leader out of the house.
After the squad leader walked out of the house and Yin Moce closed the door, a disdainful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He cursed inwardly, "The people from Peerless Apocalypse are so stingy!"
His team member, Pigeon, earned two six-line zombie crystals just by running an errand to Firefly to deliver a message. Look at her generosity; in comparison, Yin Moce's few loss crystals were simply pathetic.
How many times would he, as a captain, have to sell information to catch up with Pigeon's single income?
(Note: This squad leader is the captain of the new squad Pigeon joined.)
The squad leader snorted coldly and turned to the next house.
It was also fortunate that he was Pigeon's captain; if it weren't for Pigeon's recommendation, he wouldn't have been able to join the ranks of those spreading the news.
Being able to complete the mission and earn Undead Crystals—who wouldn't want such a lucrative job? He had to speed up, or the information would lose its value.
And this scene was constantly playing out in Huo Yao Base.
Yin Moce returned to his room, quickly organized his equipment, and without a moment's delay, swiftly left Huo Yao Base. He was a flying Mutant; his wings spread, he soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the horizon.
After Yin Moce, more than a dozen figures quietly departed. Some drove, others flew, but their direction was surprisingly consistent: towards the Firefly Nongjiale (Farmhouse).
