Chapter 590: Chapter 590: Forcing Through Chapter 590: Chapter 590: Forcing Through Although they were leaving the next day, they still took the time to walk around the B City base.

“It seems like there’s a lot of trading going on here,”
Lu Hao said.

“Yes, it looks like it’s all bartering, not selling supplies,”
Su Jin observed after looking at a few stalls.

“There’s even someone selling seeds!”

Lu Guanhai exclaimed excitedly.

At one stall, dozens of bags of various kinds of seeds were displayed, but it seemed like all the vegetable seeds in front had been sold out, leaving only some flower and tree seeds at the back.

In the Apocalypse, growing flowers was useless, and using a tiny seed to grow a tree was even more difficult, so those seeds were disregarded.

Su Jin picked a few kinds of flower and tree seeds that she didn’t have in her Space and traded a pack of cookies for several packets of seeds.

“Take care, and do come again,”
The seed seller said contentedly as he looked at the pack of cookies he had received in exchange; a bunch of useless seeds for a pack of cookies was a good deal!

The group also bought some handmade hair ornaments for Qiqi, and only when it started to get dark did they head towards where they were staying.

As they reached a street corner, Qiqi tugged at Su Jin’s hand and said, “Under the road sign ahead, there’s an invisible person.”

An invisible person?

“Could it be Wang Liang?”

“Possibly, but we still have to be careful,”
Lu Hao discreetly moved to Su Jin’s right side, positioning Su Jin and Mao Qiqi in the middle of the group.

Indeed, as they passed the spot Qiqi had mentioned, a familiar voice rang out from the side: “It’s me, Wang Liang.”

Lu Hao only felt something being stuffed into his hand, and the person beside him seemed to quickly walk away.

“He’s gone…”

Mao Qiqi said with certainty.

Lu Hao nodded, and together with the group, they pretended as if nothing had happened and continued to their accommodation.

What Wang Liang had passed to Lu Hao was a note, which made Lu Hao frown after he read it.

“What is it? What is it?”

Lu Guanhai and Su Jin leaned in closer.

It turned out that Wang Liang was warning them that the Han Family was planning to place the Heart Talk Team under house arrest in the B City base, using some plausible excuse such as the local Special Ability Team wanting to have an exchange or contest with the S-class team, and additionally, Han Yue still wanted the Mysterious Fire Fan. All in all, Wang Liang advised them to be wary of any requests made by the Han Family.

“Will this ever end?”

Su Jin couldn’t help but roll her eyes. They were planning to leave quickly to avoid such issues, but they hadn’t expected trouble to find them as soon as they arrived.

“I don’t want to stay here; it’s so inconvenient,”
Mao Qiqi pouted, saying it was inconvenient because following Han Yue meant she couldn’t visit her family in her Space every day, and now she also wanted to leave this place quickly.

“So what do we do? Wang Liang said they have people at the city gates too,”
Lu Guanhai also became anxious.

“We’ll just have to force our way through,”
Su Jin said, biting into a peach.

As they were accompanying Lian Jiyue and couldn’t hide in the Space, they had to see whether it was the ones trying to stop them or they themselves who would get through.

The eyes of Lu Guanhai and Mao Qiqi lit up at once.

It sounded like it could be fun!

Lu Hao also smiled. Just now he had been considering asking Wei Junhao for help, but now, he felt that Su Jin’s proposal was the simplest and most straightforward approach.

Lian Jiyue watched Mao Qiqi excitedly discussing with Lu Guanhai how to tackle the challenge ahead. Despite the age difference of decades between them, they chatted with such enthusiasm that he couldn’t help but find it amusing.

The Han Family, huh?

Always so unscrupulous, Lian Jiyue scoffed to himself.

Back at the E City Base, Han Yizhou and Han Wan’s tactics were just like those of the Han family member. He now felt extremely grateful that he had escaped from there, deciding that following Lu Hao and the others was far more entertaining than being a Base Leader of a base.

…
The next day, as soon as dawn broke, the family set out. However, when they reached the city gates, they were stopped by someone.

Li Rao looked at the photo in his hand and then back at the group in front of him, confirming that these were the members of the Heart Talk Team mentioned in his orders.

“Are you Su Jin and Lu Hao?” Li Rao asked.

“Indeed,”
Lu Hao replied with a smile.

“If that’s the case, I must ask you to not be in a hurry to leave. Our family head has some urgent matters to discuss with you,”
Li Rao said politely, seeing the distinguished air of the group.

“May I ask who your family head is?”

Su Jin asked with a puzzled look.

“He is none other than Han Zhimin, the top leader of the B City Base,”
Li Rao answered with a smile, hoping he could manage to “invite” these people back without the need for the men hiding behind him to take action.

“Sorry, but we also have urgent matters, and we are in a hurry to leave the city,”
Lu Hao kept his smile as he responded.

“That’s rather unfortunate then. Our family head has given a strict order that I must invite you over today. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for me and my brothers to handle,”
Li Rao’s expression began to show frustration. It wasn’t going to be easy, was it?

“How your difficulties relate to us is beyond our concern. We don’t even know this so-called family head of yours, and we’d rather not visit him. What can you do about it?”

Lu Guanhai scolded with a glare, annoyed at the audacity to stop them.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll dispense with the pleasantries,”
Li Rao’s voice suddenly hardened, and with a wave of his hand, a group of gun-toting, well-equipped Special Ability Users surrounded them.

“They’re tranquilizer guns,”
Lu Hao remarked upon recognizing the familiar weapons.

“Do you know our team’s name?”

Su Jin asked Li Rao with a smile.

“Of course, you’re the Heart Talk Team,”
Li Rao, unsure of why Su Jin asked such a question, suddenly saw a defiant look in her eyes.

“Knowing that, you still dare to stop us?!”

As Su Jin’s voice turned icy, Li Rao and the others felt the ground tremble beneath them, and in the next second, the tranquilizer guns were cut at mid-length by something, and countless vines erupted from under their feet!

The vines grew rapidly and, to everyone’s amazement, bound all the attackers tightly together.

Seizing the opportunity, Lu Hao scooped up Su Jin in his arms, and Lian Jiyue also tightly held Mao Qiqi as they charged outwards.

“Don’t let them escape!”

Li Rao, hanging from a vine, yelled angrily, having never expected that anyone would actually attempt to forcefully break out of the base, catching him completely off guard.

Some tried to run forward to intercept them, but suddenly a fire screen several meters high shot up in front of them, reaching above the city walls. From afar, it looked as though the entire perimeter of the B City Base was engulfed in flames!

Meanwhile, Su Jin took out an armored vehicle from her Space, and Lu Guanhai sat on it, whistling and waving goodbye to the B City Base, “Bye-bye now!”
