Babao moved his nose and his round eyes began to roll around.

In order to allow ventilation, the window was not closed tightly, leaving a narrow gap.

At this moment, a faint smell was drifting in from outside the window. It was so faint that it was almost inaudible, but it had some kind of magical power, constantly emitting deadly temptation.

Babao couldn't help but smell the scent and gradually became intoxicated. His originally black and bright eyes began to become confused.

Confused, it suddenly flapped its wings and flew towards the window. However, halfway through the flight, a blue light suddenly flashed on its body.

The light was not dazzling, but more like the light emitted by a treasure. The moment the light flashed, the aura of Babao changed instantly, giving people a sense of inviolability and sacredness.

Unfortunately, the next moment, Babao suddenly cursed: "How dare you seduce Bird Master!"

As soon as these words came out, the sacred feeling on Babao disappeared instantly. Looking closely, it was still the idiot Babao, and the scene just now seemed like a dizziness.

The confusion in its eyes had disappeared, and it was obvious that the light just now had awakened it from the temptation of the fragrance. After waking up, Babao was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.

"Hmph, you just tricked me once, and now you're coming again. Do you think I'll be fooled?" Babao cursed indignantly. He made up his mind that after Lan Ke finished her training, he would tell Lan Ke about this and find out the malicious man behind the scenes!

With an idea in mind, Babao no longer paid attention to the fragrance. The fragrance did not last long, gradually becoming fainter and fainter, and finally disappeared completely without a trace.

By the time Lan Ke finished her training, the mysterious fragrance that was almost imperceptible had already disappeared and could no longer be smelled.

Without any scent, Lan Ke naturally had no idea what had happened. After opening her eyes, she did not get out of bed immediately, but instead stared blankly at the debris around her.

These fragments are the remnants left after the alien core has been completely absorbed. They are loose in texture and very fragile, and will break into pieces with the slightest touch.

Lan Ke stared at the debris in a daze, but was thinking about something in her heart.

This time she absorbed a lot of alien heart cores, hoping to open the remaining four acupoints in one go. However, after practicing for a while, she was able to open only two of them. The remaining two could not be opened at all, as if she was still not yet fully prepared.

After analyzing various reasons, Lan Ke felt that the problem lay with the alien heart core.

The alien heart cores in her hands were all primary alien heart cores. The energy they contained was not much, and even less after being absorbed and refined.

It is not easy to open the acupoints, and it requires a lot of energy. Especially the acupoints at the back are more difficult to open.

There are only two ways to open the remaining two acupoints. Either win by quantity and accumulate little by little, or win by quality and use a level 1 heart core.

However, the heart cores in her hands were all primary heart cores, and there were not many of them. There were only a few left after this practice. If she wanted to win by quantity, she had to get a large number of primary heart cores first.

As for the level 1 heart core, she doesn't have even one right now, so she can't use it even if she wants to.

After secretly calculating, Lan Ke suddenly realized that she could not wait any longer and had to find a way to get more alien heart cores!

Sighing, Lan Ke was about to clean up the debris. Just as she was about to do it, Babao beside her spoke up. It cunningly rolled its black eyes and reported to Lan Ke: "Host, a bad guy just came and I drove him away!"

When Lan Ke heard this, she immediately became alert: "Huh? What is that? Is it an alien species?"

"Well, who knows what it is, but it definitely has bad intentions." Babao was startled by Lan Ke's cold gaze. He realized that he couldn't fool her, so he said, "It didn't come here in person. It deliberately emitted a fragrance to lure me over, but I didn't fall for it."

At the end of his speech, Babao shook his head proudly, and the bird feathers on his head swayed along with it, looking very proud.

Lan Ke was concerned about this matter: "What is the smell? How does it feel?"

Babao recalled for a moment before saying, "It has a nice fragrant smell. It tastes delicious as soon as I smell it." So when it smelled it for the first time, it flew out without hesitation. However, that thing was too cunning. It concealed its fragrance and hid, so it found nothing!

Lan Ke listened and had a guess in her mind. This fragrance was obviously not a simple fragrance, but a fragrance with the ability to seduce. In this case, the mastermind behind this was either a person with special powers awakened, or some kind of evolved plant, that is, an alien plant.

No matter which one it is, she has to find out the mastermind behind it.

As the saying goes, you can't allow others to snore beside your bed. Now this place has become her favorite base, and she will not allow any uncontrollable dangerous things to exist in the base!

However, when Lan Ke left the room, she found that all the people who had gone out on the mission had returned and were gathering in the living room in groups of three or four to exercise.

Looking at the clock on the wall, it was already half past six in the evening.

This time is not too late, but now it is winter, and it gets dark early, around 5pm. At this time, it is already pitch black outside.

Lan Ke hesitated for a moment, then gave up the idea of going out and decided to wait until tomorrow morning.

Just in time, dinner is ready.

Lan Ke didn't say anything until after dinner, then she gathered everyone together and held a small meeting in the living room.

She first asked Bai Hu and Pang Dahai: "Bai Hu, how did you complete your mission? How is the cleanup in the community going?"

Bai Hu had already prepared the answer: "The alien species in the community have been cleared out, but the entire community is too large, the gate is not closed, and the wall is too low, so new alien species may appear at any time. Sister Lan, should we raise the wall? And arrange for someone to guard the gate?"

Thinking of the strict guard of the military base, Bai Hu felt that their base was too simple.

"Don't worry about this. We have too few people, so we can only take it step by step." Lan Ke paused here and asked, "What are the reactions of the survivors? Have they been notified about the gathering?"

Bai Hu nodded: "Everyone has been notified, but those people are very vigilant. When we went there, they didn't even dare to open the door. They may not come out to gather tomorrow."

"We'll talk about this tomorrow." Lan Ke knew that many survivors were still hoping for the best, thinking that everything would be fine if they just hid at home. She was too lazy to dwell on this issue and asked directly, "Did you smell any strange smells in the afternoon?"
