He Jin stared at Gong Xiangyi with a sullen look. His eyes squinted into a glare, making a cold shiver run down her spine and her scalp feel numb.

Setting her inner fear aside with force, Gong Xiangyi swallowed and added, "You should already know, my father got news about the apocalypse before it happened, so he had the time to gather some military power and establish this base." After her words fell, she carefully glanced at the other and observed his reaction.

He Jin sneered as he asked with surprise, "You're the one who can predict the future?"

Gong Xiangyi nodded and added with a calm voice. "Yes, I can predict the future. At the moment you appeared, I've foreseen yours. Your future is a bad future, therefore, I thought I should tell you. You are a friend of Lixin and I can't simply watch you go to your death."

He Jin stood up straight with his back against the wall, hands folded as his eyes stared at Gong Xiangyi's face that was full of sympathy and pity. He faintly said, "Keep talking."

Gong Xiangyi raised her brows, quickly loosening the fists she unconsciously had clenched as she slowly said, "Lu Zhenxuan is dead. After having mutated into a zombie, he was killed by his men. Your brother Zhao An gathered the other members of Poisonous Wolf mercenary team and set out for the location of Lu family's firearms before dedicating the huge number of arms to the Song family. They are a small base with few supplies. He's now an ability user with the Power Ability and has the capability to survive in the apocalypse. However, if you go back with Lu Yun, everything will crumble because the Poisonous Wolf team members are loyal only to you. Therefore, he will join Song Haoxuan's – the current leader of the Song family – side. At that time, you will hit a dead end in your path."

Gong Xiangyi stopped speaking and looked up to see He Jin's expression. She said all the facts from before, but the last sentence was a lie. He did not die at that time. Song Haoxuan changed his mind after understanding He Jin's strength and character. He saved him instead and killed Zhao An. Of course, Lu Yun and Wu Ming didn't escape either.

Song Haoxuan was good at seeing people's potential and was quite adept at controlling those around him. It was he who decided who got killed and when. He was also the one who determined who lived, but hid it quite well. Few people knew this inside story. He appeared as a savior and one would be none the wiser about the truth until the day of their death. If his men didn't do a good job and missed an insider, Lin Wenbo wouldn't have found out and set himself against him.

He Jin's dark and unclear eyes were hard to read. Even when the bottom of his heart tumbled with turbulent waves, nothing showed on the surface.

He was trying to digest Gong Xiangyi's words. He didn't want to believe those words but still, he couldn't help but believe. His team members have been borrowing Lu Zhenxuan's firearms and ammunition for the past two years and certainly knew the location of Lu Zhenxuan's arsenal. Moreover, he understood the nature of his team members. They were not loyal to Lu Zhenxuan. Once the person is dead, they would take the chance to grab the arms for their own chance to live. They would 100% do this. If he were in Kyoto that time, he would make the same decision.

What really touched his heart was Zhao An's betrayal. It is said that power, money, and beauty were the most captivating things to the human eye. Zhao An didn't love beauty nor money, but he cared greatly about power. Otherwise, he would not have strongly persuaded him to kill Lu Zhenxuan. Moreover, after the coming apocalypse, the legal system and moral standards of controlling one's thoughts and actions started to collapse little by little. Various people in the society hid their darkest parts deep in their hearts and during chaos, those darkest parts were stimulated. Therefore, Zhao An was very likely to betray him.
