100: Tao Yumian

Night fell, and the heavy rain had stopped several hours ago.

But on the ground, there was still over a foot of standing water, and in some low-lying areas, it was even over a meter deep.

From the night sky, the entire city looked as if it were submerged in the sea.

Outside the Ping'an Survivor Base, Tang Ping parked the Great Emperor Moth a few hundred meters away from the Base and got out with the boy behind him.

The boy was named Yu Jiaqi, and the infant in his arms was Yu Jiale.

"You two will live in this Base from now on."

"Thank you," Yu Jiaqi said, lowering his head. He actually wanted to follow the person in front of him, but it was clear that the mysterious man did not want to take him along.

"Help, help me!" A handsome young man, who looked to be around twenty years old, cried for help from the gap in the main gate, his fingers hooked into the crack, pushing his entire hand desperately outwards, even tearing the flesh on his hand, yet he seemed oblivious.

"Help me, please help me!"

A snake-like shadow crawled out from behind him, coiling around the handsome young man's neck.

"Help, ugh... help."

The handsome young man's head broke, his entire head lolling against his back.

This person died in an extremely tragic way.

The shadow-like snake stood up, peering at Tang Ping through the gap in the Base's gate.

A pair of purplish-green eyes glowed with a chilling coldness.

Tap, tap, tap.

Footsteps came from behind the door.

"Are you here to join our Ping'an Survivor Base? Welcome, welcome."

The gate opened, revealing a woman in a cheongsam and high heels.

Sticky liquid still dripped from her purplish-red cheongsam.

When the woman saw Tang Ping's face, her eyes instantly lit up, and she lightly licked her lips.

"Haha, welcome, welcome. Handsome, please don't misunderstand. That person just now was a traitor to the Base, secretly stealing the Base's shelter item, which is why Big Sister executed him."

The woman in the cheongsam gently tucked her messy hair behind her ears, accentuating her proud bosom.

"Little brother, come join our Ping'an Base. Our Ping'an Base is all about awakening! Anyone who joins the Base can use the Shelter to awaken their Talent for free."

Tang Ping ignored her, grabbing Yu Jiaqi and preparing to leave.

With his keen senses and the special mental attack Talent of his SS-Rank Talent Red Lotus Demonic Flame, along with its minor characteristics, how could he not sense it?

The malice that woman exuded when she killed the handsome young man.

And that handsome young man was a Level 2 Talent User. He could sense that the opponent's Talent was not weak, and he definitely held a significant position in this Base.

But now, he was dead.

A major change had occurred in this Ping'an Base.

Tang Ping turned to leave; this had little to do with him.

As for Yu Jiaqi, although he didn't like to take him along, he had no intention of pushing him into a pit of fire.

At worst, he would just find another Base. In the apocalypse, there were plenty of Bases.

Yu Jiaqi, holding his younger brother, followed obediently.

However, how could the cheongsam woman let go of such a "delicacy" delivered to her mouth? The man was exactly to her liking; the moment she met him, she even thought of dozens of ways to play with him.

As long as he was obedient, he would be her most favored male consort.

But now, this person, whom she had already regarded as her number one male consort, actually wanted to leave?

"Little brother, where are you going?"

A snake shadow glided across the ground, appearing in front of Tang Ping.

Then the cheongsam woman stepped on the shadow snake, emerging from the shadows.

Golden-red flames instantly tore through the night.

And also tore away the smile on the cheongsam woman's face.

Tang Ping had already let her go once; he hadn't taken her offensive gaze or provocative words to heart.

But since she was rushing to her death, he naturally had to fulfill her wish.

Without any superfluous words, the golden-red flames illuminated the surrounding dozens of meters.

The cheongsam woman's pupils constricted, and she let out a terrified shriek.

"You!"

Then, the cheongsam woman fell silent.

How could a B-Rank Talent, Level 2, withstand his Flame Blaze!

On the ground, only two shelter items remained, which Tang Ping casually picked up.

One B-Rank Shelter characteristic, the shelter item was a black snake toy. After binding, it could carry the Shelter owner to sneak in the shadows, somewhat similar to Chen Pingliang's Talent.

However, Chen Pingliang could bring other people, while this Shelter could only bring the owner himself.

The Shelter of the other tragically killed young man was a mobile phone. The characteristic of this mobile phone Shelter was a C-Rank recovery type characteristic, which could accumulate one red heart every day. This red heart could be used to restore the Shelter owner's injuries.

"Come with me," Tang Ping said, casually tossing the mobile phone Shelter to Yu Jiaqi.

"You think you can just leave after killing our Base's Third Leader!"

Behind the Base's main gate, a group of people quickly emerged, surrounding Tang Ping.

The remaining four leaders of the Base walked out.

The Great Leader, who was at the forefront, glanced indifferently at the woman on the ground. He could have come earlier because he had long discovered that the person who appeared at the Base's entrance had an A-Rank Talent like him.

The Shelter he had plundered, by using a characteristic scroll, had gained an A-Rank Shelter characteristic that allowed him to perceive the grade and attribute of others' Talents.

The man in front of him had an A-Rank fire-attribute Talent.

He knew from the start that this woman would not easily take down the opponent. Originally, he had only planned to come after she was severely injured, but he hadn't expected her to die so quickly.

What a waste.

"So you're the one who killed our Base's Third Leader," the Great Leader narrowed his eyes. "Hand over the shelter item, and I can spare your life."

"Spare my life?" Flames ignited in Tang Ping's palm.

Before the flames in his palm could be released, Tang Ping suddenly felt a power emerge that even made his heart palpitate.

Petals of peach blossoms fluttered down, creating ripples in the standing water.

"Was it you who killed my friend? And usurped the Ping'an Survivor Base?"

Behind the buildings in the night, it was as if a veil was lifted, and a woman wearing a black mask walked out.

Tao Yumian's gaze fell on the Great Leader.

Peach blossoms fell, and a head dropped.

The Great Leader died, his head severed by a peach blossom.

The surroundings were silent, everyone incredulously looking at the suddenly appearing woman.

The woman was very young, wearing a light blue long dress, and her white shoes were spotless. Petals of peach blossoms floated on the water, and Tao Yumian gently stepped on the petals, slowly approaching.

Everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter.

"You, who are you!" The Second Leader looked at the newcomer in terror.

"Who am I?" Tao Yumian's eyes lowered slightly.

"Do you know why this Base has no Infected attacking it?"

The remaining three leaders' pupils constricted.

Tao Yumian said no more, waving her hand. Petals fell, and three more heads dropped into the standing water on the ground.

"Tao Yumian?" Tang Ping asked.

Tao Yumian was surprised.

"It's you?"
