Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 749

Chapter 749: 400 Ambitions

Fang Yuxin and her two companions settled in a small partition, a very small space consisting only of a crude folding bed without even a closet. These partitions were small rooms sectioned off a larger room, specifically for rent to small teams of two or three like them. Currently, Luyun County had yet to be captured, and the population of Beishi Base was too large, leading to an acute housing shortage. Even superpower users had to squeeze many into one room, while the situation for Ordinary People was even worse—they could only sleep in large shared bunks.

These small partitions, like the one they were staying in, were not only expensive to rent but also impossible to secure without connections. It was only thanks to the Corpse Hunting Team’s gratitude for their lifesaving help that they managed to find even such a partition.

Of course, there were better accommodations available, such as various hotels or guesthouses within the Base, rented out to high-level superpower users. However, should they stay there, they would inevitably expose themselves to the scrutiny of multiple powers, which would be an unreasonable loss.

The three did not need to lie down to sleep; they could use the nighttime for cultivation, so they didn’t mind the subpar environment of the partition. Besides, staying in the partition was just a disguise. Their real place of stay was Fang Yuxin’s Qingmu Spiritual Mansion.

Before coming out, Fang Yuxin had taken the precaution of creating three Substitute Puppets. As long as a drop of Essence Blood was attached to them, they could present the appearance of the three of them staying in the partition, without worrying about being discovered should someone suddenly break in. Of course, Fang Yuxin’s cultivation was still very low, and these Substitute Puppets were only low-grade items, incomparable to real people, and could not fool expert eyes. Fortunately, this world was not the Cultivation World, so these Substitute Puppets were sufficient to deceive most.

By the time they entered the Base, it was already completely dark, and coupled with the cold weather, the streets were deserted. Aside from patrol teams, not a single person was visible; therefore, after they reached their lodging, they did not venture out again. Fang Yuxin took out the three Substitute Puppets, simulating the appearance of the trio, and then the three entered the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion.

So he cautiously said, "Zhao Qiankun is too ambitious. If he truly sets a death trap for his personal gain again and disregards the lives of others, we must figure out a way to stop him!"

Fang Yuyang suddenly looked at him and asked coldly, "What then, after we stop him? Without Zhao Qiankun, Beishi Base would have only the Bai Family at the top. What difference would there be between them and Zhao Qiankun?" He, too, disliked Zhao Qiankun, but he held no fondness for the Bai Family either!

Fang Yuxin narrowed her eyes and raised her hand to quell the argument between the two, analysing rationally, "Both of you are right. Considering Beishi Base’s size and Zhao Qiankun’s ambition, if he truly becomes the sole authority, he will never be content with just taking over Beishi Base. He will definitely seek to expand. We currently have no idea how much future technology he has under his control. Once he swallows up the White Wolf Mercenary Corps and starts expanding outward, Hope Base may well be affected. We must strike first!" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
