Chapter 172: New Job for the Night Shadows?

“Speak.” Mo Chenxuan urged.

Hearing the voice, the soldier swallowed and sighed before speaking.

“I heard that the ability users in base three…” The soldier started but seemed unable to continue until Qin Wu urged him.

“Base three ran out of supplies during the winter. I heard that the ability users imprisoned ordinary survivors and used them as rations.” He finally revealed.

Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu were not shocked when they heard this.

After all, similar and worse things had happened in their previous life.

However, they were not unaffected, and both felt indescribable anger.

“What else do you know?” Qin Wu asked.

“That’s all I know.” The soldier said.

“Do you know who started the gossip?” Mo Chenxuan asked, but the soldier shook his head.

Since they couldn’t learn more from the soldier, Qin Wu gave him a purified crystal core before she and Mo Chenxuan left the wall.

“Chenxuan…” Qin Wu started, and Mo Chenxuan nodded before transmitting a message.

[Let’s investigate.] The man said and quickly continued.

[If we confirm that base three’s ability users really treated human beings as rations, we will let the Night Shadows deal with them.]

Qin Wu chuckled when she heard this.

She and Mo Chenxuan hadn’t used the ’Night Shadows’ identity since they rescued the children from the Fang family.

As a result, the Fang family’s task was still hanging in the base’s mission hall, but no one had been able to complete it.

[I am looking forward to it.] Qin Wu transmitted, and Mo Chenxuan smiled while rubbing his wife’s hair.

Soon after, they returned to the villa and summoned Uncle Zhang.

“How is everything?” Qin Wu asked as soon as she saw the man.

“There are a few issues here and there, but everything is progressing smoothly.” Uncle Zhang said, and Qin Wu nodded before speaking.

“There are three things.” She started and quickly continued.

“First, we will hold a meeting with the chiefs at ten in the morning tomorrow.

Please let the others know.” She said, and Uncle Zhang nodded.

“Second, find someone to investigate base three. We want a list of all base three survivors that have come to our base.”

“Finally, invite Xu Anying to meet us in the study in two hours.”

After that, Uncle Zhang left the villa while Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu entered the space.

Soon after, they went to the space study and began perusing the books, looking for a book about the space.

Fortunately, they didn’t search for long before Qin Wu found an inconspicuous book.

“Found it.” She exclaimed, and Mo Chenxuan stopped what he was doing and walked to her.

At a glance, the book was old and had fewer than one hundred pages.

However, it looked a little more special compared to the compendiums.

“Let’s read it first.” Qin Wu suggested, and Mo Chenxuan didn’t argue.

In the next hour, the two huddled together and read the book.

After reading the last line, they put it down and exchanged a glance.

“As expected, all water and fruits in the space are edible.” Qin Wu said.

From what they learned, the water in the space was different.

Well water was best for practice, river water was best for fish and livestock, while lake water was best for irrigation. That said, even river and lake water could be drunk without harming the human body.

Additionally, the space had a few springs, some of which had ordinary water while others mimicked the river or lake water.

Most importantly, the mutant fruits in the space had unique effects, including increasing and cleansing superpower energy, among others.

“Wu’er, let’s head to the reservoir after meeting Xu Anying.” Mo Chenxuan suggested, and Qin Wu nodded.

“We can fill the reservoir with ordinary water, but add a few litres of well water to give our people a hidden advantage. What do you think?” She asked.

“Not just that.” Mo Chenxuan started and quickly continued.

“We need to find a way to introduce some of the fruits to our people.” He said.

“You are right. It would be good if more survivors became level three ability users before the zombie siege starts.”

“We can use scouting as an excuse to leave the base. Later, we will return with the fruits and claim to have found them while scouting.” Mo Chenxuan said, and Qin Wu nodded.

In fact, scouting was not just an excuse but something they needed to do.

After all, only after knowing their enemy would they stand a chance of surviving the siege.

Soon after, the two left the study and found an empty space on the mountain.

A moment later, Qin Wu waved her hand, and a villa fell to the spot.

The villa was the one they usually used while in the space and was already equipped with most modern conveniences.

After that, the two entered the villa and began the hard work of photocopying the compendiums.

When that was done, they exited the space, just in time to catch Xu Anying’s arrival.

“Lord Mo, Lady Qin.” Xu Anying greeted.

“Anying, sorry for calling you on short notice.” Qin Wu said, looking at Xu Anying with an apologetic expression.

“Don’t mention it.” Xu Anying said, and Qin Wu nodded before leading the way to the study.

“Anying, we need you to look at some things and see if there will be any problems.”Qin Wu said and placed the compendiums in front of Xu Anying.

“These will be distributed to the chiefs tomorrow. Try to see if there will be any problems in the long run.” Mo Chenxuan said, and Xu Anying nodded.

A moment later, she placed her hands on the books and closed her eyes.

Unexpectedly, Xu Anying received a vision almost immediately.

In the vision, she saw researchers consulting the compendiums while doing their work.

Saw survivors buying copies and saw task takers using the compendiums to identify things in the field.

“The books are a blessing to our territory and the base.” She started and quickly continued.

“However, some information needs to be controlled to prevent panic and confusion.” Xu Anying stated with a solemn expression.
