“We're indeed here for a mission, but it's been completed. We were about to return when it started snowing, so we decided to rest here for the night.”

Qin Yi nodded her head, her eyebrows beautifully drawn together. “If that's the case, I'll join you guys.”

“Really?” w.a.n.g Zhi asked, eyes still bright as stars, “That's great.”

Oh my G.o.d! To be able to return with Idol? The thought of it made him so excited.

The night ended on a warm and enjoyable note. It stopped snowing on the second day, but the temperature was still low. Qin Yi packed her stuff and came out of the tent, with Xiao Lan resting on her shoulders in a daze and mumbling, “Foolish girl, I want to have some pork ribs.”

Qin Yi quickly made breakfast and fed Xiao Lan a crystal core, asking, “Xiao Lan, are you going to advance?”

Xiao Lan pulled on Qin Yi and nodded its little head. “En, almost. But our phoenix race's advancement will incur lightning tribulations. At that time, you have to bring me to a quiet place.” Xiao Lan did not tell Qin Yi that the phoenix tribulation was extremely difficult. If one could not endure, it would only result in death.

“Alright.” Qin Yi noted it down, and although Xiao Lan did not say anything, she knew that it was most likely going to be difficult.

Wei Liao and w.a.n.g Zhi only got up after Qin Yi had prepared breakfast. When they saw the food, w.a.n.g Zhi laughed in embarra.s.sment. “Oh my! I had the most comfortable sleep last night and accidentally overslept.”

Qin Yi chuckled, sounding like she was bathing in the spring wind. “It's fine. Come and eat. Once we're done, we'll leave.”

The three of them had a sumptuous breakfast and headed towards Z-City. They weren't too far away from the city, but Qin Yi, Wei Liao, and w.a.n.g Zhi decided to head to W-City to procure a vehicle anyway. Moving on foot would take at least 10 days.

W-City was an extremely small city with very little zombies even half a year into the apocalypse. Although there were a few zombies, they were of the same rank as ability users, and had gradually grown consciousness, learning how to hide and ambush humans.

The quant.i.ty of food resources dropped greatly half a year into the apocalypse, and many bases established their own crops. This was also the best time for ability users to improve their abilities, many taking on tasks to gain crystal cores.

Qin Yi's group of three walked and searched for a vehicle. Qin Yi wandered about the streets and strolled casually, her long black hair, which was tied with a silver hairband, not having any feminine taste to it. Her pair of sharp phoenix eyes were clear and void of impurities, her skin as clean and flawless as jade.

Every step she took seemed to summon flowers and make them grow, like a real prince sauntering on the streets.

Ignoring Wei Liao, who already had feelings for her, even the rough man w.a.n.g Zhi was stunned as he watched her. His Idol was really good looking… No wonder Qin Yi was hailed as the prince charming of the base, alongside Yun Huan and Qin Hanyu.

Qin Yi was looking around casually, but in fact, her divine sense was already spread out. After recuperating in the Origin s.p.a.ce for three months, and with little plum blossom feeding her its sap daily, not only had she recovered, her ice abilities had reached grade six and her mental ability grade five.

Xiao Lan sat comfortably in Qin Yi's embrace, feeling groggy. It was about to reach its tribulation and was constantly sleeping.

Qin Yi walked a few steps before suddenly stopping.

w.a.n.g Zhi scratched his head, asking, “Idol, why have you stopped?”

Qin Yi replied indifferently, “There are people ahead.”

There were many people where she was looking.

w.a.n.g Zhi's eyes lit up as he suggested, “Is that so? Let us go and take a look.”
