Yin Qing had not expected Yue You to seek her out to seize the Azure Dragon Base and deal with Zhao Wumian.
She could never have imagined that Yue You, Zhao Wumian's right-hand man and most trusted subordinate, would betray him and approach her.
Upon learning that Yue You was in love with Zhao Wumian, she understood. It seemed this was a twisted love that led to this.
She had long suspected that Zhao Wumian and Yue You did not like women. Now it appeared Yue You liked men, not Zhao Wumian.
"Why are you looking for me? You know I can't use my powers right now, so I can't help you much."
Yin Qing regained her composure. She was now on high alert and trusted no one.
"I'm just an ordinary person without powers. Even if I control Zhao Wumian,
the superpowered individuals in the base are all loyal followers of Zhao Wumian, and I wouldn't be able to leave safely.
Therefore, I need a superpowered individual who is not loyal to Zhao Wumian to assist me. After searching, only you are suitable.
I can remove the agent that suppresses your powers; that's not a problem. You just need to answer me: do you agree?"
Yue You was a bit impatient. Revealing the secret hidden in his heart required courage.
He thought Yin Qing would have no other choice and would not refuse, which was why he revealed his secret.
He hadn't expected Yin Qing not to agree immediately and to appear hesitant, which made him agitated.
"What is your plan? If I agree, what benefits will I get?"
Hearing that Yue You could restore her powers, Yin Qing was somewhat moved. With her powers restored, she would have the ability to protect herself.
However, she still didn't agree immediately. She knew this matter had to be handled carefully; it was a gamble for her life.
If it failed, Zhao Wumian would definitely not let her go, so she had to strive for the maximum benefit.
"I arrange Zhao Wumian's meals. I will tamper with his food.
If successful, he will lose his powers, just like you are now. I will take him away from this place.
What you need to do is to hold off the superpowered individuals in the base and ensure I can take him away safely.
As for this base, if you like it, consider it your reward for helping me.
I know your objective in bringing the Vermilion Bird Base to join was to obtain the Azure Dragon Base.
At that time, we will each get what we need. I will get the person I want, and you will get the base you desire."
Yue You was a clever person, knowing what Yin Qing wanted and where her weakness lay.
Although he had no powers, his mind was meticulous, he could see through people's hearts, and his words were extremely tempting.
"I agree. Pleasant cooperation!"
After a moment of thought, Yin Qing clapped hands with Yue You, forming an alliance and agreeing to his proposal.
She had thought it through clearly: restoring her powers was her only chance.
Moreover, according to Yue You's plan, she wasn't taking a huge risk.
Only if Yue You succeeded in controlling Zhao Wumian would it be her turn to act. If Yue You failed, she could also regain her powers.
Then she could escape. Besides, if successful, the Azure Dragon Base would be hers.
Who said cannon fodder couldn't make a comeback? She would make a big play with little risk and change her destiny.
"I have one more concern. In the base, is there a black-clothed man named Yuan Que?
I'm probably no match for him. If he stops you, I'll be powerless."
Yin Qing reminded Yue You. They were now allies with a common goal, so Yin Qing naturally informed him of the existing risks.
"Don't worry, he's not at the base. Zhao Wumian sent him out to herd.
I'm taking advantage of this opportunity to implement the plan. Also, I will try my best to find a way
to control the superpowered individuals in the base. The rest will be up to you."
Yue You left a pill and, after agreeing on the time of action with Yin Qing, departed.
Yin Qing immediately took the pill and felt the return of her long-lost powers, finally feeling a sense of security.
Zhao Wumian felt uneasy because of the news Yuan Que had sent back, saying that herding was not going smoothly.
Some survivors from the base had, at some point, secretly left.
This caused the creatures Yuan Que had taken out to herd to have a reduced food supply, some not getting enough to eat.
It was known that the creatures Yuan Que had taken out were laboratory creations.
They played a crucial role in the completion of his plan. If they didn't get enough to eat, it would affect their growth.
If they lacked energy, it would affect the completion of the plan, a result he could not bear.
Therefore, he sent a message to Gong Que, stating that he must ensure the creatures were fed. Not only would they not spare human bases,
but they would also search for zombie hordes and mutated plants and animals to supplement their meals, ensuring the creatures' growth.
"Leader, here is the chrysanthemum tea I brewed for you."
Just as Zhao Wumian was feeling angry, Yue You placed a cup of chrysanthemum tea in front of him.
As usual, without any extra words, he put down the teacup and withdrew.
Zhao Wumian was thirsty and picked up the teacup, drinking it down in one gulp. He smacked his lips, finding the taste slightly different from usual.
"Yue You, what did you put in this tea? The taste is strange."
He called out to Yue You, who was about to leave, Zhao Wumian frowned, sensing something was wrong.
"Leader, today's tea is very special. Your subordinate added something special to it."
Hearing Zhao Wumian's question, a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of Yue You's mouth. He quickly returned to normal and said, turning around.
"Added what?"
His thick eyebrows furrowed. He disliked Yue You's way of speaking today; it was completely different from his usual concise manner.
"I admire your kindness, I love your deep affection."
Yue You looked at Zhao Wumian with adoration, his breathing rapid, his usually pale face flushed. He had finally said it.
He could finally express his true feelings to Zhao Wumian.
"Shut up, do you want to die?"
Zhao Wumian's voice was icy cold. His handsome face was contorted with rage.
He could never have imagined that Yue You, who had always obeyed him, harbored such disgusting thoughts towards him.
This was an insult to him. He even felt disgusted. Yue You had offended him so greatly that he deserved death a thousand times over.
"I'm not afraid of death, I have to say it. Ever since you saved me from the hordes of zombies, I fell in love with you.
At that time, you seemed to radiate light, giving me hope. You pulled me up from the ground, and your strong, powerful hand has haunted my dreams.
Every day, I meet you in my dreams, and we are deeply in love, inseparable.
I assist you with all my heart, helping you manage the base, just to be the man behind you.
Have you never loved me? Then why did you save me and keep me by your side as your right-hand man?"
Seeing Zhao Wumian's look of disgust, as if he were looking at trash, Yue You roared like a wounded beast.
"Guards, drag this madman away and lock him up!"
Zhao Wumian, at this moment, didn't even want to glance at Yue You again. He just wanted this piece of trash to disappear from his sight immediately.
