170 You have the best skills!

Xue Feng nodded, feeling that he understood the explanation.

He had once heard a joke told for amusement.

If a human could be shrunk down to the size of a molecule, that person would die of thirst.

Because water itself would no longer be visible; one would only see hydrogen and oxygen elements.

"It seems the concept of the super serum is simply impossible to achieve," Xue Feng remarked.

This also helped Xue Feng understand why the director had shifted to other research, synthesizing zombies and humans instead.

It was because all hope had already faded along the path of the super serum.

Yet, since the director was fundamentally unstable in the mind, he would never easily admit defeat.

He must have stubbornly believed that other methods still existed.

"Not necessarily! Though there are no ways right now," Nie Xiaoyue did not blindly deny it.

"Alright, hurry up and go wash up. The smell on everyone is just too awful," Xue Feng said with a bitter smile.

Right now, all of them had a rather unpleasant odor clinging to their bodies.

"Then the three of us will go together!" Nie Xiaoyue said with a giggle.

Wang Xinyu and Nie Xiaoxing both flushed with bashful blushes.

To this proposal, Xue Feng naturally had no objections.

Before long, they arrived at the bathroom.

Xue Feng lay back in the bathtub, accepting Wang Xinyu's massage.

Her gentle little hands constantly worked across his shoulders.

Whenever he bathed, there was never a shortage of attendants to wait upon him.

"Your massage is by far the most comfortable," Xue Feng could not help praising.

He was certainly not just uttering polite words.

Wang Xinyu had clearly studied massage techniques and knew precisely which spots brought the most comfort.

"Of course, I specifically practiced it," Wang Xinyu said, her face beaming with joy upon hearing the compliment.

She immediately began applying herself even harder to the massage.

"Brother Xue Feng, are we not serving you well?"

"We've been working really hard too!"

Looking at the two sisters voicing their objections from below, the corners of Xue Feng's lips curled upward.

"You're all doing great, all of you!"

With that, Xue Feng gently pressed down on the heads of the two sisters.

...

Waking up in the morning, Xue Feng opened his eyes.

Several pairs of beautiful legs were draped across his body, leaving him half-amused and half-helpless.

Last night had indeed been a bit too wild.

It had left all the beauties unable to get up.

Not wanting to disturb them, he merely pushed those legs aside gently.

Then he got out of bed, freshened up briefly, and went to have breakfast.

"Sir, Dong Pingguo and the others are asking what kind of work they should do. Should we arrange some tasks for them?"

After finishing breakfast, Gu Xiaoqian inquired.

"No need. Let them rest for a few days and get used to the environment first. There will definitely be things for them to do later," Xue Feng replied.

Right now, Xue Feng was still quite interested in a particular place.

That was River Town!

He was very eager to know how many secrets River Town held.

That factory director had been so utterly insane as to keep so many zombies penned up.

He had even used ability users to cultivate zombies!

Who knew what kind of terrifying monsters might be created out of that.

However, Xue Feng had too many things on his plate right now, and he hadn't yet decided when to go.

When the time came, he would definitely bring Dong Pingguo and the others along.

They were very familiar with River Town.

"Understood," Gu Xiaoqian nodded.

[Ding!]

[Intel system updated.]

[1. Three ability users have arrived in Jiangcheng from the direction of River Town. They are under orders to track down Dong Pingguo and the others, harboring intense malice, and are currently inside the Happy Residential Area.]

[2. A helicopter will fly over Jiangcheng at ten o'clock this morning.]

[3. At eight o'clock tonight, a heavy rainstorm will last for six hours.]

Oh?

Xue Feng had not expected that just as he was thinking about River Town, intelligence regarding it would arrive!

Three ability users had come to Jiangcheng?

And they harbored intense malice!

This was clearly a hit squad sent to hunt down Dong Pingguo and his group.

However, what surprised him even more was not just this first piece of intel.

There was also the second piece!

A helicopter would fly over Jiangcheng!

This immediately reminded Xue Feng of the helicopter that had passed by last time.

Another helicopter was passing through!

Where had it come from, and which faction did it belong to?

Did they have any specific intentions in coming to the airspace above Jiangcheng?

There were simply too many questions and mysteries!

But before all that, he had to deal with these fellows from River Town.

"There will be a heavy rainstorm tonight. Have Song Yan lead the people to hastily harvest those vegetables and fruits so they won't be ruined by the storm," Xue Feng told Gu Xiaoqian.

A downpour lasting six hours would definitely be too much for the crops in his fields to withstand.

Fortunately, the potatoes should be able to hold up.

It seemed that at critical moments, potatoes were still the most reliable!

"A heavy rainstorm? Understood!" Gu Xiaoqian wore a puzzled look.

She couldn't sense any sign of an impending storm.

The weather had been completely clear for the past few days, even a bit hot.

Yet since Xue Feng said there would be a storm, then there definitely would be one!

Even if Xue Feng claimed there was going to be a massive blizzard tonight, Gu Xiaoqian would have believed it without a shadow of a doubt.

"Also, have Dong Pingguo and the others wait for me at the base entrance at ten o'clock. We have work to do today," Xue Feng added.

Gu Xiaoqian hurriedly went to carry out the orders.

Once these matters were settled, Xue Feng checked the time.

It was just past nine o'clock, not yet ten.

So he went for a patrol inside the base to inspect its current internal state and see if there were any issues that needed rectifying.

When people caught sight of Xue Feng, their faces filled with respect and adoration.

After all, without Xue Feng, they wouldn't have the sanctuary they lived in today.

Gu Xiaoqian acted swiftly, and the commands had already been passed down.

Song Yan and the others had begun hastily harvesting the fruits and vegetables, stripping away even the ones that weren't fully ripe.

Everything was picked clean, leaving only those that were simply too small and unharvestable.

They had also gathered wooden boards to set up as covers over the vegetable seedlings.

They were trying to use these to shield the plants from the battering of the heavy rain.

These vegetable seedlings were extremely fragile and could not endure wind and rain.

Ordinary weeds didn't fear storms because they had naturally adapted to such environments over time.

But today's cultivated vegetable seedlings were different!

After God-knows-how-many rounds of genetic modification, all their biological points had been poured entirely into yield, leaving them utterly incapable of withstanding severe storms.

Thus, whenever Xue Feng used to hear people say that flowers grown in greenhouses could not withstand wind and waves, he found it quite comical.

Greenhouse flowers were cultivated precisely for that reason—to look pretty.

You couldn't expect them to both look gorgeous and be tough enough to brave the tempests.

"Sir!"

Upon seeing Xue Feng, Song Yan's face lit up with admiration and gratitude.

Having spent these past many days constantly toiling in the fields, Song Yan's skin somehow remained fair and tender, showing no signs of tanning.

This was probably a form of natural talent, too.

On the contrary, the prolonged physical labor had made her figure slightly firmer.

She looked uniquely charming as a result.

Xue Feng inevitably recalled that time in the bathroom.

When he had seen Song Yan completely bare and in plain sight.

Of course, he couldn't be blamed for that—it was all because there had been a zombie in the bathroom!
