Du Yue walked over and put it into her space. Although He Xing and Xia Ju also had interspaces, one of them could only store weapons and the other could only store various potions. Du Yue’s space was much more convenient. After keeping away the big guy, Du Yue turned to look at the other equipment in the room. Du Yue could not tell what these things were used for.

Professional matters should be handed over to professional people to do. Naturally, He Xing was better at this. He Xing looked around the room and quickly came up with an answer. “It’s some scientific research equipment. It might be good for researchers, but it’s useless for the three of us.”

Du Yue nodded. Since she knew that these things were useless to them, she no longer paid attention to these devices.

Mu Chen was already dead. What should they do next? He Xing and Xia Ju must have caused a big commotion when they arrived. The news must have spread in the fourth base. There were many times when killing someone was the easiest step, but the troublesome part was how to end it. Just as Du Yue could not help but feel depressed, He Xing said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged the follow-up.”

Du Yue subconsciously looked at He Xing with confusion in her eyes.

The two of them had been together for a long time, so Du Yue was not surprised that He Xing could guess what she was thinking. She was surprised that He Xing could not only find her at the first moment but also arrange the follow-up steps in advance.

He Xing looked at Du Yue, who was full of doubts, and chuckled. “I’ve been in contact with Guan Sheng ever since we returned from the test drive.”

Although Du Yue was a little surprised, she could understand why. He Xing understood her personality and knew that she did not like to have too much contact with the officials of the base. However, one had to rely on plans if one wanted things to be efficient. Over time, he had developed the habit of making preparations in advance. However, the two of them probably did not expect this change to come so suddenly.

Before Du Yue could ask what he and Guan Sheng planned to do, He Xing spoke first, “Guan Sheng and Xia Zhixing are not people who will sit around and wait for death. Even without us, they’ll try their best to create opportunities.”

That was true. After all, Guan Sheng had just arrived at the underground base and was already sitting in the position of vice-captain. He was definitely not willing to stop here. After all, he still had a child to raise at home. He Xing’s lips curved into a faint smile. “If 1 throw an olive branch to him, he’ll definitely catch it. Now that Mu Chen was dead, he can take this opportunity to replace him. If he’s the leader of the base, the child and Xia Zhixing will be able to live a better life.”

Parents loved their children, so, of course, they would want to give their children better living conditions and more comprehensive protection.

In times of peace, they might be able to relax a little, but in this current environment, the more power they had, the more confident they would be in raising their children. Thinking of Guan Sheng and Xia Zhixing, Du Yue nodded. “If they’re in power, it might be a good thing for us.”

The three of them did not continue chatting and quickly left. They walked up the stairs for a long time, but they did not see a single person. It was not until they left the last floor that they saw a group of people walking in a hurry. All of them had their heads lowered as they hurried along. None of them had the time to pay attention to Du Yue and the other two. Looking at the scene in front of her, it was Du Yue’s first time realizing what it meant to scatter like monkeys when the tree fell.

Not too long ago, Mu Chen was still a man of his word in this underground base, and these people had all bowed down to him. However, now that Mu Chen had died, there was not even a single person to guard his corpse. Everyone was busy looking for their own way out. However, this was also human nature. Everyone wanted to find a good way out so that they could live a more comfortable life with their families. As for who was sitting in the top seat, they did not really care.

Along the way, Du Yue thought about many things and felt a little complicated. It was not until the three of them returned home that Du Yue said with a serious expression, “Let’s go. I don’t want to live underground anymore.”

Before today’s incident, although Du Yue felt that life underground was a little inconvenient, she did not have a very conflicting mentality. However, after what had just happened, Du Yue did not want to stay here anymore. Putting everything else aside, once they encountered any accidents underground, their fists and feet would be restricted and it would be difficult to use them.

As soon as Du Yue finished speaking, Xia Ju nodded heavily.. “That’s great! I’ve had enough of living in this lousy place!”
