No one notified me in advance. Everyone in the end times is crazy.

Chapter 541 Ghost Bird

Wen Feiyu and her entire team of servants arrived at the base's first-floor lobby in a plane dispatched by headquarters.

Yan Xi and An Ran looked around the hall, feeling like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.

Wen Liuyan: "What's the big deal? We'll have plenty of opportunities to come to headquarters in the future!"

"You're really good at talking big." Wen Feiyu, holding Yu Jiajia's arm, made a face at Wen Liuyan.

“There are more people from our newbie base here than just us. Behave yourselves, don’t embarrass those who didn’t come.” Yu Jiajia said, casually ruffling Wen Feiyu’s head. She immediately became obedient, leaning against Yu Jiajia like a little bird.

Wen Liuyan gave a disgusted "Ew~", then leaned down and whispered in Luo Shiyu's ear, "I smell the stench of love. I bet a pair of underwear that they're definitely dating."

[You're crazy! Who wants your underwear? Besides, do you think I wouldn't know if they've talked or not?]

Xiao Hei: "No~ I think he wants Wang Xiaobao's underwear."

[That's so weird, stop talking, I don't want to ruin the image of Ah Yan as a sunny and cheerful boy in my heart.]

Xiao Hei: "Forget it, I can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep."

You should read fewer novels.

"Please be quiet. Is everyone here? Team leaders whose members are present, please raise your hands." Luo Shiyu looked in the direction of the voice and saw Nan Wan waving a small flag like a tour guide.

"Now that everyone is here, please follow me. Don't fall behind! The headquarters is huge, and it would be bad if you got lost."

Nan Wan's personality is indeed just like her name—gentle and refined.

Xiao Hei: "Indeed, just like Xiao Bai."

Xiao Bai: "Don't drag me into this for no reason."

Xiao Hei: "She's shy, she's shy, she must be shy!"

Xiao Bai: "No, not at all."

Don't keep arguing in my head.

Xiao Hei: "Sorry."

Xiao Bai: "I'm sorry."

It's okay, I guess I'll get used to it.

Unbeknownst to her, Luo Shiyu followed the group into a reception room.

There were dozens of people inside, chatting and waiting. Judging from their positions, they were probably in five small teams.

As Nan Wan picked up the documents from the table, preparing to introduce each team one by one, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

A familiar, tall figure walked in from outside the door. He looked around at everyone present and finally smiled at Luo Shiyu.

"I hope my uninvited visit didn't disturb you?"

All eyes turned to Wang Rui, including Nan Wan. She put down the documents in her hand and asked, "What brings Lieutenant Colonel Wang Rui here?"

"I'm just wandering around aimlessly. What are you busy with?"

Before Nan Wan could speak, Wang Rui walked over, picked up the documents she had just put down, and began to read them. After all, he was the highest-ranking officer present, and no one dared to say anything.

"Passing the torch, huh? We didn't get this treatment back then. It seems Commander He really values ​​these new recruits." After saying this, Wang Rui smiled at Nan Wan and said, "Don't you think so?"

The other person was smiling, yet Nan Wan felt a chill run down her spine. She didn't understand Wang Rui's intention in saying all this, and replied with a forced smile, "Yes...it is..."

"I'm going to say hello to a few old friends. You don't need to worry about me, just do your thing."

After handing the documents to Nan Wan, Wang Rui walked straight to a four-person team and greeted the burly man in the lead: "Gangzi, long time no see."

Sun Zhigang was surprised that Wang Rui still remembered him. Although they came from the same newbie base and were in the same class, they rarely spoke to each other.

Back then, Wang Rui was like a bright pearl, so dazzling that he dared not approach her at all, and she still is now.

“Rui…Brother Rui.”

"Don't be nervous, relax, I'm not going to eat you." Wang Rui said, patting Sun Zhigang on the shoulder, then incredulously patting him again. "So sturdy, like a steel plate, how did you train?"

"Just... practice normally."

Wang Rui massaged his shoulder and wrist, his eyes full of admiration.

What I was really thinking was: if a doctor were to carefully cut open such muscles with a scalpel, the feel of them would be amazing.

Sun Zhigang blushed from his face to his neck. He never expected that the person who was once untouchable would now be so close to him, and even touch him, and not just once.

If there weren't so many people around, he would have torn open his clothes and shown off his muscles to Wang Rui.

[I really want to slice him open piece by piece.] Wang Rui became more and more excited as he thought about it, and a blush unconsciously rose on his face. After coming back to his senses, he smiled apologetically at Sun Zhigang.

"I'm sorry, I was rude just now."

"You're so pretty."

"what?"

"Oh? No, no, I was thinking about something else and misspoke. I'm sorry."

Sun Zhigang's flustered and apologetic bow made Wang Rui laugh.

He chuckled a few times, his fingers curled and resting on his chin, a calculating glint in his eyes. He asked, seemingly casually, "Who are these three behind you?"

"My teammate."

Aren't you going to introduce yourself to me?

"Okay, sure." Sun Zhigang spread his hands to the woman standing behind him and introduced her, "This is Ye Su, we all call her Aunt."

"Aunt?" Wang Rui looked at the woman, whose hair was loose down to her calves, layered like bird feathers.

The instant their eyes met, Wang Rui had an urge to gouge out her eyes and collect them. The whites of her eyes were bluish-green, and her pupils were dark green with a hint of blue, somewhat like finely polished jade. (Bird's Eyes)

"What a beautiful young lady you are."

Ye Su remained unmoved by Wang Rui's praise, even covering her neck and taking a half-step back.

"Stay away from me, you smell of adult scheming and sourness."

Sun Zhigang quickly shielded Ye Su with his body and explained, "That's just how she is, Brother Rui, don't misunderstand."

"fine."

"She has a reason for doing this. Does Rui know about the Ghost Bird?"

"A ghost bird? Or a Ubume?"

"Correct."

“I remember that the ‘Xuanzhong Ji’ records that the Guhuo bird flies at night and hides during the day. It is a kind of ghost or spirit. Its feathers make it a bird, and when it sheds its feathers, it becomes a woman. It has no children, but it likes to take human children and raise them as its own.”

"As expected of Brother Rui, he knows so much."

"She just likes to read random chatter when she has nothing to do, so is she a Guhuoniao?"

"I guess so. She had a difficult childbirth and was on the verge of death when the resentment of those women in labor merged with her, and when she woke up again, she became like this. She likes children but hates adults to the extreme, even towards us."

"I see. Is it really okay to talk about these things in front of others?"

"It's alright, Auntie doesn't care about these things."

"I see. No wonder you can say it so casually."

"We need to clear up any misunderstandings, right? Let me introduce the next one."
