The evil female is weak and the males of the whole continent are out of control and fall.

Chapter 784 Wanwan, you will come to find me

"Yan Lie!" She finally managed to turn her head away, panting, and pushed against his solid chest with both hands, but she couldn't budge him an inch.

She glared at him, but it didn't have much of an effect.

Those eyes, misty with moisture, seemed like a seductive invitation, "Don't do anything rash! I don't want to right now."

Her mind was completely focused on finding the energy stone so that Fu Jinshen could stay forever; she had no interest in doing anything else.

Yan Lie looked at her flushed cheeks and slightly swollen lips, his Adam's apple bobbed, and the flames in his eyes burned even brighter.

He lowered his head and affectionately nuzzled the side of her neck with the tip of his high nose, his voice muffled, "Wanwan, it's been so long since we've..."

Even when he pleaded and acted spoiled, Bai Wanwan didn't give in. "We'll talk about it after we find the energy stone."

After all, he was her husband, and he hadn't forced her, so she cupped his face and kissed him on her own initiative.

But not long after, clear footsteps and the low murmurs of males could be heard outside the door.

It's the chieftains who have returned.

Bai Wanwan immediately sat up straight and distanced herself from him, "They're back!"

As she spoke, she quickly tidied her disheveled pajamas and hair, her cheeks still flushed.

She hurriedly got out of bed and put on her coat.

Yan Lie had no choice but to get up as well, his face still showing the frustration of unfulfilled desire, but he still followed closely behind her, his arms possessively wrapped around her waist.

As soon as the two stepped out of the bedroom, they saw Chief Rong, Jin Ying, Hua Han, and Jiao Yin enter the room one after the other.

"So, any news?" Bai Wanwan went up to greet her.

Chief Rong shook his head, his brows furrowing slightly: "No. We asked many people, including some who specialize in gathering information, but no one knows what an 'energy stone' is. They only recognize crystal cores."

Bai Wanwan's heart sank.

They have wasted more than ten days coming here from their original gathering place.

Fu Jinshen's condition was getting worse and worse. Throughout the day, he appeared in front of her no more than twice, and for shorter and shorter periods of time.

Jin Ying stepped forward and continued, "However, we found out another way. This base has a mission posting area where you can post bounty missions using crystal cores or supplies. We used the few yellow crystals we got on the way to post a mission to find the exact clues to the energy stone."

Hua Han walked over, put his arm around her shoulder, and said in a reassuring tone, "Wanwan, don't worry. We just need to wait. As long as the bounty is posted, someone will always inquire about it for the crystals."

Jiaoyin nodded in agreement, her cool voice carrying a hint of certainty: "Yes. Yellow crystals are something that those ability users desperately need to improve their strength. I've heard that some people are willing to take on even the most dangerous missions for high-level crystal cores."

After listening to the beastmen's words, Bai Wanwan's mood calmed down a bit.

This is indeed a good idea.

She turned to look at Jinying, her eyes still filled with lingering worry: "But... I don't know how long we'll have to wait."

Peanut remained unresponsive. Fu Jinshen's consciousness flickered like a candle in the wind; no one knew how much longer he could hold on.

Jin Ying keenly noticed the deep worry hidden in her eyes.

He reached out and gripped Bai Wanwan's other hand tightly, his dry, warm palm conveying a firm strength.

“Don’t worry,” he said in a deep voice, his gray eyes fixed on her. “We won’t just wait idly. If we still don’t have any definite news after a while, I’ll go out and search. Since this world has energy stones, we’re sure to find them!”

His words were like a reassuring pill. Bai Wanwan looked at the males surrounding her, and the chill caused by her worry gradually dissipated.

At this moment, Xin Feng brought out the food and said, "Eat first, and we can discuss it while we eat."

As night fell, a warm fire lit up their small courtyard. Even though the outside world was cruel and chaotic, at this moment, the males surrounding Bai Wanwan were happy.

***

An abandoned rural school, located in the middle of a barren field and surrounded by high earthen walls and barbed wire, has now become Roger's stronghold.

The main teaching building, constructed of brick and stone, is still relatively intact, with its heavy iron gate tightly closed.

Inside the walled area, the original playground had been cleared out to serve as a training ground. A dozen or so people were talking loudly. They were men and women with sharp eyes and a blood-stained aura about them.

They were all subordinates whom Roger subdued with force and then lured with crystal cores.

This place is remote, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and far away from large zombie hordes, making it Roger's carefully chosen lair.

Roger sat in what was probably a teacher's office on the second floor, toying with a fist-sized, jet-black energy stone in his palm.

"Chief." A man with a sharp, wiry face and quick, nimble eyes appeared silently at the door, bowing respectfully. "We have news. Someone has posted a bounty on the 'Energy Stone' at a medium-sized base in the west called 'Iron Fence.'"

Roger paused slightly as he played with the energy stone, a barely perceptible ripple passing through the depths of his brown eyes.

He raised his eyes: "Very good. Pass the message over. Remember, do it without leaving a trace, so they don't become suspicious."

"Yes!" Zhao Qiang answered without hesitation and turned to leave.

“Wait a minute,” Roger added, “There’s no need to keep an eye on them all the time, or we’ll be discovered. Just leave a clue, and they’ll come looking for us. Then let me know as soon as they do.”

"it is good!"

After Zhao Qiang left, Roger walked to the window.

He looked out the window at the small space below, specially prepared for Bai Wanwan's arrival.

Unconsciously, fingertips caressed the smooth surface of the energy stone.

"Wanwan...this time, you will come to me on your own." He murmured to himself, his eyes filled with complex emotions that eventually settled into a deep and unwavering determination.

A few days later, Bai Wanwan kept an eye on the bounty mission office, but no news came back.

“I think we can’t wait any longer,” Bai Wanwan said, turning to Jin Ying.

At this moment, Hua Han pushed the door open and came in, interrupting her next words.

"How did it go?" Bai Wanwan stepped forward, wanting to ask about today's events.

Hua Han smiled at her and said, "Wanwan, someone has taken on the mission, and I've brought him to you."

After he finished speaking, a tall but very thin man followed him in.

As soon as the man entered the room, he was stunned by the invisible pressure emanating from the several men standing or sitting inside.

He was a third-tier ability user, considered an expert in this base, but in front of these people, he felt inferior, and his heart started beating faster involuntarily.

Hua Han had already walked up to Bai Wanwan and stood beside her. She said to the man, "Tell me what you know."
