If so much food is hoarded in one person's hands, it loses its meaning if it cannot be bartered.

"I've said it before, I don't have spatial abilities," Shen Chengyin answered frankly.

"Some things need to be proven by facts." Cheng Gaolang smiled. "There are only two space ability users in the entire base, so it's understandable that I would have doubts about you."

After saying that, the man turned and left without looking back.

With such a severe zombie invasion at the Fuxing Base, even Cheng Ruoyan, as Cheng Yibin's right-hand woman, was somewhat overwhelmed by the heavy casualties.

No one had time to check whether the electric shock experiment was successful, and if the corpses at the scene were not cleaned up in time, they would soon turn into zombies.

The cleanup of the accident took two full days. When Su Han woke up, there were still bloodstains on the streets outside.

He killed all the key people in charge of the experiment, so Cheng Yibin can't touch Shen Chengyin for a while.

The most urgent task is to find the person from Hope Base and force him to change his testimony.

Su Han stretched and pretended to have just woken up before going out.

He casually pulled aside a passing superhuman to inquire about the situation.

"Do you need any help?"

Almost all the gatekeepers were killed, and the number of superhumans also suffered heavy losses. With manpower shortages at the Restoration Base, Cheng Ruoyan has begun recruiting non-regular superhumans to join the city's defense team, temporarily filling the gatekeeper vacancies.

This is exactly what Su Han wanted.

The Fuxing Base has strict records of personnel entering and leaving. If we can count back a few days from when Shen Chengyin was identified as having spatial abilities, as long as we find out the list of strangers who entered and left the city gates during that period, we can narrow down the scope and identify the suspect.

Su Han immediately submitted an application to Cheng Ruoyan, requesting that he and several other ability users temporarily serve as gatekeepers before the new gatekeeper team was established.

Although Cheng Ruoyan cannot fully trust Su Han yet, the current situation leaves her no room for refusal.

Su Han thus obtained the list of personnel entering and leaving the Fuxing Base for nearly a month in a legitimate manner.

He spent several days checking each name on the list.

Among them were nearly a hundred new faces who had just entered the city, and based on the timeline, about twenty of them fit the description.

Su Han didn't remember the names of everyone at Hope Base, so he had to check on these twenty people one by one.

The list only recorded the names, physical characteristics, and ages of these people, without indicating their whereabouts after entering the city. Finding twenty unfamiliar faces in a base of 100,000 people is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

Su Han was anxious. He had only been at the Fuxing Base for a short time and didn't have much savings. He didn't have any crystal cores to bribe others to do things for him.

At times like these, he couldn't help but miss the all-knowing man.

He took two days off under the pretext of feeling unwell and went to check out places where people gathered at the base, such as restaurants and trading markets, but found nothing.

Just as he was about to abandon this direction of investigation and plan to get information directly from Cheng Ruoyan, several strange men caught his attention.

This area is a villa district, where people live in high-rise buildings in the Fuxing Base. Two men, dressed in dirty short-sleeved shirts and trousers, were chatting while lighting cigarettes.

"Are you telling the truth? Cheng Yibin got married again?"

Upon hearing the name Cheng Yibin, Su Han reacted quickly and hid in the corner next to the wall.

"It's absolutely true. When I went to their house to deliver goods, I heard a woman crying inside."

"Impossible, right?" The person who spoke still didn't believe it. "Weren't Cheng Yibin and his wife very much in love before? It's only been a little over a year."

Cheng Yibin had a very loving wife who died in the mouth of a zombie at the beginning of the apocalypse, a fact known to everyone.

"Sigh, men always have lonely moments. There are so few women in the apocalypse, you have to seize the opportunity when you meet someone you like."

The other person shook their head:

"Live for the moment. A bunch of people who risk their lives might die somewhere without anyone to collect their bodies."

The two men were probably in charge of delivering goods to the villa. After finishing a cigarette, they climbed onto a small van parked by the roadside.

The truck drove away into the distance with the roar of its engine.

Su Han found it strange. Cheng Yibin was good-looking and had a high status. Even if he had a woman with him, why would he cry in the villa?

He observed the surrounding environment and found that apart from the security team that patrolled regularly every ten minutes, there was no surveillance camera.

With his skills, scaling the wall would be a piece of cake for him.

Under the cover of night, Su Han changed into a night suit and quietly sneaked into the green belt of the villa area.

In the post-apocalyptic world, electricity is extremely scarce. The fact that the streetlights throughout the base were out of power actually made Su Han's movements easier.

Dozens of villas are connected in a small area, and Su Han strolls leisurely through the villa complex.

After searching for about twenty minutes, he finally heard a low howl, sounding like a human or a ghost, coming from a certain building.

It was impossible to tell if it was a man or a woman, but it was clear that someone was crying.

His voice, as sharp as a broken gong, sounded like a chainsaw cutting wood, sending chills down your spine.

Without a second thought, Su Han climbed over the outer wall to the second-floor balcony and then climbed into the house.

The interior was lavishly decorated and fully equipped with all kinds of appliances. Its extravagance was breathtaking and completely unlike anything one would expect in a post-apocalyptic world.

In just 0.1 seconds, Su Han guessed that this was Cheng Yibin's house.

He followed the sound of crying to the entrance to the basement. The basement door was locked and could not be opened by force.

Su Han tentatively knocked on the door, and the crying inside stopped abruptly.

He raised his voice, feigning seriousness, and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in the chief's basement?!"

The other person paused for a few seconds, then suddenly slammed their head against the door.

A loud bang came from the door, startling Su Han.

A familiar voice came:

"Help me! Please help me!! They've locked me up here! I want to get out, I want to find my brother—please, whoever you are, please help me!"
