Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse-Chapter 969 - 550: The 100-Year Catastrophe of the Human Stronghold (Part 3)

"Above, is it..."

"Hmm, do you have the capability to mine upwards?"

Wei Shishi pondered for a moment, "This involves some issues. Technically, there’s no problem, but as for safety concerns... if there’s a residential area below, transferring people might need to happen first. If it’s a densely populated area, then it might be quite troublesome..."

"That’s on the outskirts of the city, not many people live there," Li Wenxi recalled.

"None of those are problems," Wei Bai waved his hand, "Just tell us where it is, we’ll handle the rest."

Apparently, Wei Bai has been coveting the resources for a long time. His somewhat anxious attitude now shows how scarce resources are for the Wei Family.

"Near the villa?" Xu Ying asked.

"Yes." Li Wenxi nodded.

"Then follow me, let’s go check it out together!"

...

On Shi Wanyun’s side, the story continued.

"When that woman looked at me, I really felt my heart stop," Shi Wanyun whispered.

"She’s also someone who’s been genetically modified, but no special traits?" Xu Xin pondered, "Could it be..."

"Yes, absolutely a genetically modified person, but... I really couldn’t tell," Shi Wanyun recalled, "You’re right, the stronger the people there, the more they resemble regular humans on the outside, while weaker ones have more bizarre characteristics."

"Go on."

"Alright."

Once that mature woman set her sights on her, Shi Wanyun felt like she’d fallen into an icy cave.

Though her body was enveloped by the surging heat, she still felt a chill run down her spine.

She had a feeling that this mature woman in front of her could overwhelm her with just a finger!

The scarlet eyes watching her made her body stiff, not daring to make a move easily.

"Supervisor, it’s like this..."

The one who brought her, Number 228, hastily explained: "She came up from below on her own, a drifter..."

In a few words, Number 228 spilled everything they knew: "That’s the situation, supervisor, I was going to inform you after the baptism, considering it can’t be interrupted..."

"...Such an important matter, and you’re only telling me now!"

The mature woman suddenly slapped!

With a loud "slap" accompanying a scream, Number 228 was sent flying immediately.

Their head spun several times on impact, neck twisting into a braid, and after a few flips in the air, landed with a thud on the ground, body twitching slightly.

However, they didn’t die, and after twitching for a bit, quickly stood up again, their head and neck rapidly spun back to the original position, bowing their head with trepidation, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, supervisor..."

"...Forget it, it’s not your fault," the mature woman shook her head, "Whoever it is must go through the baptism first, that’s always how I’ve taught you. Your approach isn’t wrong."

As she said this, she looked toward Shi Wanyun, who had begun to appear drowsy in the pool.

Seeing that scene earlier, saying she wasn’t scared would be a lie, so when the mature woman reached out for her, even with her head in a fog, Shi Wanyun instinctively wanted to pull away.

She naturally couldn’t evade, and in an instant, was grabbed by the mature woman by the arm, effortlessly lifted like a chick, and then...

Upright by head and feet, the mature woman held her by the waist under her arm, just like carrying an item.

In that position and completely unclothed, she felt both ashamed and unsafe.

But after soaking in the pool for over a minute, all her strength disappeared, and she couldn’t make any moves, not even making a sound when opening her mouth.

Her whole body felt hot.

"She’s a bit special, I’ll take her away for a bit, you all continue with the baptism," the mature woman’s voice carried a note of... happiness?

"Yes!"

In her daze, she knew she was being taken out of the baptism space shrouded in Red Mist, and soon after, fell into unconsciousness again.
