Chapter 46: 046 Despicable

Being able to accurately guess his inner thoughts, Zhang Bei suspected that this little girl had used mind reading on him.

Jin Xin shook her head slightly: "No, this kind of thing doesn't need mind reading at all, it's easy to guess."

Putting the processed documents aside, the little girl reached out and handed over a document.

"This is a summary of the changes in the ocean during this period, and below is some analysis I made."

Zhang Bei raised his eyebrows and reached out to take the document.

The document was not very thick, but the information was very messy; it took a full half hour for Zhang Bei to finish reading it.

"Marine creatures want to come ashore?"

Jin Xin nodded slightly: "We have always ignored the threat of the ocean; until now, we haven't seen any amphibious creatures."

Zhang Bei flipped through the document, looking at the analysis Jin Xin had made.

"Then the next difficulty upgrade will inevitably face the threat of amphibious creatures?"

"Yes, so we must start preparing from now. Choose one of the two plans."

Zhang Bei rubbed his swollen temples: "You handle this kind of thing, don't ask for my opinion."

Jin Xin's gaze looked at Zhang Bei: "No, no matter which decision it is, it will produce unpredictable changes to the settlement."

The words suddenly paused for a moment. "You are the master of the settlement, this kind of thing can only be decided by you."

"Then the second one, mobilize the mercenary groups, anyway, don't we have quite a few crystal cores now?"

Jin Xin nodded slightly: "Okay, I know."

Although the little girl had always kept her head down, the enhanced vision still allowed Zhang Bei to see her red eyes.

Even if he was stupid, he knew that something must have happened.

However, facing the little girl's strong character, he held back and didn't ask directly.

Not long after, Daniu brought Jin Yuan and Su Xiao Xiao back from outside the door.

Zhang Bei narrowed his eyes: "Daniu, come to my room, there are some things to hand over to the City Defense Squad."

Daniu was stunned, but nodded and walked upstairs.

Sitting on the chair in the room, Zhang Bei's gaze sank.

"I saw the little girl's state was not right, did something happen?"

Daniu frowned instantly; now the normal operation of the base with tens of thousands of people relied on Jin Xin's management.

If she had a problem, I'm afraid no one in the entire base could take over her position.

"Nothing found, but people from the Qingshan Settlement came today while you were out."

Zhang Bei's eyes became solemn: "What did they say?"

Daniu shook his head: "I didn't hear it, but I only saw the people from the Qingshan Settlement looking gloomy when they went out."

Zhang Bei closed his eyes, his fingers tapping on the chair rhythmically.

"Go check, I want to know the result by tomorrow at the latest."

Daniu couldn't help but shiver when he felt the murderous aura emanating from Zhang Bei.

He had followed Zhang Bei for so long, and he had never seen Zhang Bei angry.

He didn't expect Zhang Bei to be so terrifying when angry.

He shrank his neck: "Two hours, we have people in the Qingshan Settlement."

"Go, remember not to let the little girl see anything."

Zhang Bei knew that if it was really a major event related to the base, the little girl would definitely tell him.

Since she didn't say it, this was a private matter.

However, Zhang Bei didn't want the little girl to be wronged. 【

Daniu moved very quickly; he returned to the room in less than an hour.

He handed a document to Zhang Bei, his eyes filled with uncontrollable anger.

Zhang Bei took a deep breath and slowly opened the document in his hand.

The cause of this incident was finally clear.

It was Qingshan's own younger brother, Qing Ming, who had inadvertently obtained a type of poison.

This poison only needed to touch a person's body to take effect.

Under the guise of a sparring match, he had poisoned Jin Yuan with it.

He wanted to use Jin Yuan to threaten Jin Xin, but there was one thing he hadn't expected.

The moment Jin Xin learned about this poison, she made a decision.

Abandon her brother!

With no certainty that the poison could be cured, abandoning him was the best choice.

If information about the poison could be found in these few days, then everyone would be happy.

If not, it wouldn't affect the current operation of the settlement.

Zhang Bei sighed and set the data aside.

He hadn't watched the live broadcast room today; otherwise, he would have known these clues long ago.

"Bring Jin Yuan here."

Daniu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Boss, do you have a way?"

Zhang Bei nodded: "Low-level tricks like poisoning are no problem."

Not long after, Daniu brought Jin Yuan up.

"Boss, what's up?"

Seeing that Jin Yuan's complexion was somewhat pale, Zhang Bei reached out and took out the core he had obtained today.

"How have you been feeling lately?"

Jin Yuan thought for a moment: "I feel fine, it's just that my strength is improving a bit slowly."

Zhang Bei nodded; both children had strong-willed personalities, and he didn't need to interfere.

"Use this crystal core, then have your sister come up."

Jin Yuan nodded without asking why.

He only knew that his boss would not harm him.

A verdant green light covered Jin Yuan's body, continuously drilling into his skin.

A mass of black substance was slowly expelled from his skin.

The black substance landed on the ground, instantly burning a hole into the floor.

The chill deep in Zhang Bei's eyes deepened further.

It wasn't until the green light vanished that Jin Yuan opened his eyes.

"I feel very relaxed!"

Zhang Bei smiled: "Alright, go call your sister over."

Jin Yuan nodded hurriedly and walked downstairs.

Daniu looked at the corroded floor: "Boss, how should we handle this?"

Zhang Bei sneered: "Tomorrow, you and Xiao Cheng take the long bows and come with me to the Qingshan Settlement for a visit."

Hearing this, Daniu's expression changed: "A fight?"

"A killing."

Hearing Zhang Bei's chilling voice, Daniu shrank his neck and stopped talking.

However, a hint of gravity still flashed in his eyes.

The Qingshan Settlement's strength was very high; their combat establishment alone exceeded five hundred people.

Moreover, Shaxing, who had been defeated by Zhang Bei last time, had recently made a slight breakthrough in strength.

"You already know?"

Jin Xin's figure stood at the doorway, though her eyes were flickering.

"Come here!"

Seeing Zhang Bei's expression, Jin Xin walked over reluctantly and stood to the side with her head lowered.

Zhang Bei tapped Jin Xin on the head: "Tell me, how should I punish you?"

Jin Xin rubbed the bump on her head: "I'll accept any punishment; it was my lack of consideration."

Zhang Bei smiled: "Fine, then I'll punish you by having you work for me forever."

Hearing this, Jin Xin looked up at the smile on Zhang Bei's face and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

This matter was indeed her lack of comprehensive consideration; after all, Zhang Bei had never said he had a way to detoxify.

But looking at Daniu standing to the side, Jin Xin's expression suddenly changed.

"You are going to the Qingshan Settlement?"
