At the same time, Bai Ye had also dealt with the Mutant Beasts outside the base, and took the opportunity to extract all the Crystal Cores. By the time he entered the base, some of the inhabitants who were not severely injured or had hidden in their houses early on and were completely unharmed were already organizing rescue efforts. When they saw him and Bai Er beneath him, their expressions were not amiable.

It's natural that they wouldn't harbor any fondness for Bai Er, and by association, they also held deep suspicion towards Bai Ye.
