Chapter 124: Limelight

Xuanyuan Yi subconsciously tapped a table with a thoughtful expression.

Seeing this, Song Feng, Lin Siting, Murong Xue, and Zhou Huan exchanged a glance but soon shook their heads.

“Captain, is something wrong?” Song Feng asked.

“Hmm.” Xuanyuan Yi hummed before speaking.

“Don’t you think some people have been standing out too much lately?” He asked.

“Does the captain mean Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu?”

“Not just them.”

“Chu Wan’er?” Song Feng asked and quickly continued.

“Captain, the Chu family is one of the four prominent families in the base. We can’t move her for the time being.”

Xuanyuan Yi frowned when he heard this.

He also knew they couldn’t do anything to Chu Wan’er for the time being.

However, he was still reluctant.

Although he pretended to be careless, he had a sharp mind and often caught things that others missed.

It was because of this that he was wary of Chu Wan’er and the Chu family.

“The Chu family has endless supplies, talents, and the people’s support.”

“Is the captain worried that the Chu family wants to stage a coup?”

“Chu Wan’er is also a peak level two superpower.” Xuanyuan Yi said and after pausing for a moment, he continued.

“Her ability isn’t as domineering as mine but her combat strength isn’t less than mine.”

Everyone fell silent when they heard this.

When the city B base was first established, Xuanyuan Yi did his best to recruit or eliminate potential rivals.

However, Chu Wan’er kept a low profile and Xuanyuan Yi didn’t notice her until it was too late.

Now, if asked to eliminate Chu Wan’er, he couldn’t do it without losing a layer of skin.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Yi sighed and looked at his lieutenants.

“We should take a long-term view on Chu Wan’er, but Mo Chenxuan can’t return to the base.”

“Captain…” Lin Siting started, swallowed, and glanced at the others for help.

“Mo Chenxuan doesn’t have a powerful background but his team isn’t easy to handle.” Song Feng said.

After all, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu were level three superpowers and the main team Legends, were all level two ability users.

Even the affiliated teams were powerful and, most importantly, loyal to team Legends.

“We don’t need to be more powerful than them to defeat them. We just need to play our cards right.”

“Captain, you mean…” Murong Xue started and Xuanyuan Yi nodded.

“We will let the zombies deal with them. However, ….” Xuanyuan Yi sipped from a water bottle before continuing.

“They can’t die until we find the mutated water ability user.”

After saying that, Xuanyuan Yi narrowed his eyes and stared at Song Feng.

“Where are we with that?” He asked but Song Feng shook his head with a helpless look.

“I have tried everything but still failed to find the mutated water ability user.” Song Feng said and began explaining.

“Whenever they get an order for purified crystal cores, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu personally handle it. I think they stockpiled a lot of purifying water before coming for the mission.”

“How troublesome…” Xuanyuan Yi muttered.

In this situation, it was difficult to determine whether the mutated water ability user had come for the mission or remained at the base.

“There is another possibility…” Murong Xue suddenly said and the others turned to look at her.

“It’s possible that either Mo Chenxuan or Qin Wu is a dual ability user. Maybe one of them has the mutated water ability.” She said.

The others were shocked when they heard this.

However, it wasn’t impossible.

After all, some dual ability users had already appeared in the base.

“Mo Chenxuan has the lightning ability and Qin Wu has a mutated space ability. Is it really possible for either to have another ability?” Lin Siting asked, his expression revealing doubt.

So far, four dual ability users had appeared in the base.

However, all were physically enhanced superpowers.

Considering that, Lin Siting felt it was improbable that a lightning ability user or mutated space superpower could have another ability.

“Let’s keep an eye on them for the time being.” Xuanyuan Yi said.

“What if one of them is a dual ability user?” Lin Siting asked, causing Xuanyuan Yi to narrow his eyes with a thoughtful expression.

“It depends on who it is.”

“If it’s Mo Chenxuan?”

“Kill.”

“What if it’s Qin Wu?”

“Marry.”

Hearing this, Song Feng and the others exchanged a glance.

They had long known that their captain had a liking for Qin Wu.

However, that liking couldn’t compete with interests, so Xuanyuan Yi had always been laissez-faire about it.

’It seems that what should come will always come.’ Song Feng thought and sighed in resignation.

“Team Overlord has been too quiet since the mission started. It’s time to remind everyone why we are the Overlords of the apocalypse.” Xuanyuan Yi suddenly stated.

“Captain, do you have a plan?” Zhou Huan asked.

“Guan Sheng will issue a sub-task in a short while.” Xuanyuan Yi started and quickly continued.

“It’s a scouting mission before the main convoy enters the refinery. We mustn’t let team Legends, team Dawn, or any other team overshow us during this mission.”

“We understand, captain.” The others said.

As Xuanyuan Yi speculated, Guan Sheng issued a subtask less than half an hour later.

The task was to scout the refinery, identify danger zones, and propose the most effective and efficient ways of conquering the place.

In addition to team Overlord, team Legends and other teams also received the notice.

At this time, Mo Chenxuan and the others sat together, discussing the task.

“They have provided a general layout but nothing else.” Xu Fei said, his brows creased in a frown.

“It shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Lin Rongrong asked with a perplexed expression.

“What do you mean?’

“There shouldn’t be too many zombies since the apocalypse began in the middle of the night.”

“Rongrong’s speculation is logical but we can’t be careless.” Qin Wu stated but lowered her eyes with a thoughtful expression.

In her previous life, the army completed the refinery mission and brought back a lot of fuel.

However, less than one-quarter of the convoy returned to the base.
