Bi Shiyuan followed Bu Ying's instructions and stayed by Ming Yue's side all day, from the mission hall to the trading market, and finally to the villa.
Ming Yue suddenly sealed the villa with a wind barrier. He was momentarily confused but dared not force his way in.
After two days of tailing, he had already understood Ming Yue's strength; she was capable of instantly killing him.
Recalling, he believed he hadn't exposed himself. Ming Yue sealing the villa was likely to discuss matters with her teammates. Out of caution, he obediently watched Ming Yue and Ba Jiu enter the house through the wind barrier.
He concealed himself outside the wind barrier, his eyes fixed on the entrance.
After all, anyone who came out would be visible, and they were all inside the villa, unable to escape. He would still know if the Ming Yue team made any moves.
He kept watch for an entire night. It wasn't until the next morning that Ming Yue emerged, waved her hand, and dispelled the wind barrier.
Today, Ming Yue was ostensibly taking her team out of the city on a mission. In reality, she was using the opportunity to go to Yunmeng Mountain.
Except for Wen Qingtian, who was still recuperating at home with He Si, everyone else was mobilized, including Gong Que.
Gong Que's terrifying recovery ability had already restored him to his former state. He had begun practicing the Xuanwu Shield yesterday afternoon.
A group of eight arrived at the city gate and rendezvoused with the Rose team.
"Sister Ming Yue, you're here. Your teammates are truly handsome and beautiful! Oh! Jin Xi, you're the big star Jin Xi! Sisters, it's Jin Xi, our idol!"
Rose, along with her four teammates, had arrived earlier. Upon seeing Ming Yue's group, she immediately ran over.
When she saw Jin Xi in Ming Yue's team, Rose shrieked. She and the other four female teammates surrounded Jin Xi, leaving Ming Yue neglected.
Jin Xi hadn't expected to be so popular even in the apocalypse. She immediately started chatting with the five young girls.
They say three women can make a show. The five women from the Rose team, plus Jin Xi, chatted as if they were in a TV drama.
"Girls, today isn't a fan meeting, it's a mission. Let's hurry out of the city and talk when we get back."
Ji Shiyou loudly reminded them. With him present, Ming Yue didn't need to handle such matters.
"My apologies, big brother. Seeing our idol, we got a little carried away. Hello, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Rose. I'm the captain of the Rose team, and these are our team members. Mo Lan, Wood element level five; Mei Mei, Water element level five; Cui Zhu, Fire element level five; Qiu Ju, Earth element level five. We're executing this mission together. It's our first meeting, please take care of us!"
Hearing Ji Shiyou's reminder, Rose realized she had lost composure and felt a little embarrassed. However, this girl had a social butterfly personality and quickly regained her composure, being polite to Ji Shiyou.
Ji Shiyou also introduced his team members one by one, but not like Rose. He only introduced their names for ease of communication, not their ability levels.
"Rose, your names are very unique. Are they not your real names?"
Hearing Rose's introduction, Jin Xi looked at the plump and slender girls with different temperaments with curiosity. Their names clearly weren't real. She wondered why the seemingly straightforward Rose used fake names, perhaps out of caution towards them.
"Idol, you've misunderstood. You've filmed many works. Have you heard of a special effects team called 'A Hundred Flowers Spectrum'?"
Mo Lan, who was tall and slender and stood beside Jin Xi, was meticulous and insightful. She understood Jin Xi's thoughts and quickly explained.
"I know! 'A Hundred Flowers Spectrum' is a special effects team composed entirely of women. Their members are all named after flowers. The stunt double for a few of my films was a member of 'A Hundred Flowers Spectrum' named Mei Mei. Could it be?"
Jin Xi looked at Mei Mei, whose figure was similar to hers, smiling at her. She suddenly understood and pointed at Mei Mei, unable to speak.
"Sister Jin Xi, you recognize me? The five of us are members of 'A Hundred Flowers Spectrum'. When the apocalypse came, only five of us remained out of over forty sisters in 'A Hundred Flowers Spectrum'. That's why we use our team codenames as our names, hoping to live on in this apocalypse for our deceased sisters."
Mei Mei said this with a smile on her face, indicating she was a resolute girl. Qiu Ju, standing beside her, with a slightly babyish face and a hint of naive charm, began to cry.
"What are you crying about? How many times have I told you, sadness should be kept in your heart, and sadness should be turned into strength. Will crying bring back our dead sisters? We must live well in their stead."
Cui Zhu, with a stern expression, was clearly hot-tempered. Seeing Qiu Ju crying, she scolded her loudly.
"Sister Ming Yue, do you not have any transportation? You know, the mission location is very far. Walking will waste a lot of time."
Rose had seen such scenes many times. Although Cui Zhu scolded Qiu Ju harshly, she would comfort her later, so she didn't mind at all.
Hearing Rose's question, Ming Yue finally noticed that the Rose team members were all wearing tight-fitting racing suits. Beside them were five off-road motorcycles, presumably their mode of transport. They looked quite cool.
"You'll know soon. It's getting late, shall we head out of the city?"
Looking at the five girls of the Rose team, each with their distinct personalities, Ming Yue smiled and walked towards the city gate.
The two teams presented their entry permits and successfully exited the city. After leaving the city gate, they walked for a long distance.
"Sister Ming Yue, why don't we give you a ride? If we keep walking like this, we won't reach Youyue Valley even by nightfall."
Since the two teams were on a mission together and had to advance and retreat as one, the Rose team naturally slowed down their motorcycles when Ming Yue's team walked. Rose was a bit anxious and rode her motorcycle back, kindly offering them a ride.
Seeing Rose's anxious expression, Ming Yue looked back. The city gate was no longer visible. She waved her hand, and Shi Henian's transforming vehicle appeared out of thin air.
"What a cool car! Sister Ming Yue, you have space abilities, right? But why didn't you bring this car out earlier?"
Rose's eyes sparkled at the sight of the transforming vehicle. She was trained and could drive various vehicles, but she had never seen a car like this before. It looked incredibly cool. At the same time, she marveled at Ming Yue being a dual-element ability user. She had seen Ming Yue use wind abilities and hadn't expected her to possess space abilities. In fact, she didn't know that Ming Yue was all-element, not through abilities, but through witchcraft.
"You guys, give it full throttle and lead the way."
Ming Yue didn't explain or say much in response to Rose's question. She simply asked her to lead the Rose team. Rose always felt that Ming Yue was acting strangely today, but she couldn't pinpoint why. Time was tight and the mission was urgent, so she didn't think about it further. Moreover, they were already outside the base, and it was unsafe outside, with the constant threat of zombie attacks, so she didn't ask any more questions.
She accelerated her off-road motorcycle, caught up with the other four members, and rode at the front of the convoy. She knew the location of Youyue Valley, so leading the way was natural. Ming Yue had also assured her that they wouldn't fall behind. Therefore, she and her four teammates pushed their off-road motorcycles to their maximum speed, speeding towards Youyue Valley.
However, she was still a little worried that Ming Yue's team wouldn't be able to keep up. She looked back and saw Shi Henian's transforming vehicle following closely behind, and she immediately felt relieved. But she didn't know that in the transforming vehicle following closely behind, Ming Yue and Ba Jiu were not inside.
Watching the five off-road motorcycles and the transforming vehicle speed away until they were out of sight, Ming Yue led Ba Jiu onto a small path. The direction was neither towards Youyue Valley nor Yunmeng Mountain.
