"Captain Zhou, is all this my payment?"

Bai Yifan stared at the suitcase in Captain Zhou's hand with bright eyes.

This box contains approximately three thousand crystal cores.

"Well, the reward for this mission is six thousand crystal cores. We'll split it evenly between our two groups." Captain Zhou pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, looking quite smug.

The meaning of "two groups of people" is that Captain Zhou belongs to the Iron Lady Squad.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Bai Yifan unceremoniously took the suitcase from Captain Zhou, grinned, and carried it to the bus.

I don't mind the weight!

This is something he painstakingly dug out!

This is not a crystal core, but the fruit of his hard work.

Outside the bus, Captain Zhou didn't leave immediately. Instead, he whispered some inside information to the Bai family.

"Things haven't been peaceful outside lately. One after another, the superhumans in the base have gone missing. You all need to be careful and try not to go out alone," Captain Zhou said in a low voice.

To avoid causing panic, the base's leadership did not release the information; only the base's higher-ups knew about it.

Those with superpowers are a powerful asset in resisting zombies in the apocalypse.

The disappearance of people with superpowers can easily cause panic.

Furthermore, the manner in which the superhuman disappeared is still unknown, and announcing it in advance would make the base appear incompetent.

There weren't many people who had discovered that superhumans were disappearing one after another. If Captain Zhou hadn't mentioned it, the Bai family wouldn't have noticed at all.

The arrival of the end times has caused the vast majority of families to be torn apart and people to die.

There are hardly any relatives or friends left; just surviving is already a miracle.

The Bai family is the only one of its kind, with one person missing and even one extra person.

The disappearance of a person with superpowers is difficult for others to discover; perhaps the missing person is the only one left in their entire family.

In the apocalypse, it's already a miracle that human kindness hasn't deteriorated; there's no need to expect others to remember you.

The base regularly assigns tasks to those who join its special ability squads. The only people who can detect their disappearance immediately are the base's leaders.

"Missing? What level of ability users are they?" Bai Xizhu was stunned for a moment.

Did that research institute have been involved from the very beginning?

In her previous life, she was busy finding supplies and food, and never paid attention to these things.

Only after being arrested did I realize that there was such an organization that specifically researched people with superpowers.

“They are all powerful individuals who have reached the first tier of superhuman abilities.” Captain Zhou said with a grave expression.

The levels of superhumans are divided into Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, and so on.

A first-tier superhuman can use their superpower to kill zombies.

Some people with superpowers possess superpowers but cannot unleash their full potential; these people can only be called superpowered individuals, not first-tier superpowered individuals.

Some fire-type ability users can only control flames the size of a lighter flame.

Killing the zombies is impossible; you can only click through them.

Only a few months into the apocalypse, a Level 1 ability user was already considered a strong individual in the base.

High-level superhumans also exist, but they are very rare.

Even if all the superhumans at the Fire Phoenix Security Base were combined, they might not be able to defeat the Bai family.

"Is there anything special about them? Is it their special type of ability, or something else that makes them different from ordinary people?" Bai Anhai stroked his chin and asked again carefully.

It seems that the evil research institute my daughter mentioned has already started operating two months after the apocalypse began.

The Bai family's goal is to overthrow the research institute and then destroy the apocalypse.

We need to analyze the movements of the Evil Research Institute carefully.

"They are all first-level ability users. Isn't that extraordinary?" Captain Zhou looked at Bai Anhai with a slight doubt.

Why does Bai Anhai seem to think that first-level ability users are not powerful at all?

Bai Anhai touched his nose and said, "Oh, a first-level ability user is indeed quite powerful."

You might not believe it if I told you.

The Bai family has a total of seven members. Apart from Bai Yifan, who is a first-level ability user, the rest are second- or third-level ability users.

Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai did not break through to the fourth level of ability users in order to solidify their abilities.

It's not that I can't, it's that I don't want to for the time being.

Mastering the basics is essential for building a solid foundation for the future.

“Things have been really unsettled lately, you really need to be careful.” Captain Zhou glanced around to make sure no one was around, then whispered, “It’s not just zombies, sometimes people are more terrifying than zombies, you need to be wary of those with ulterior motives.”

After saying that, Captain Zhou didn't explain anything and turned to leave.

He shouldn't have revealed these things so easily, but the Bai family were Xiaoxue's saviors, and he felt he had to remind them.

Xiaoxue's savior is also her own savior.

"What do you mean? Does someone dislike us? Is someone trying to get revenge on us?" Wang Yiyun frowned.

I didn't quite understand the meaning of Captain Zhou's last sentence.

Bai Xizhu watched Captain Zhou's retreating figure, her eyes flickering.

She knew what Captain Zhou meant.

What's more terrifying than the end of the world is the human heart.

The zombie, with its hideous face and reeking of decay, had a beautiful crystal core in its brain.

These crystals can help those with superpowers improve.

Superhumans and zombies were once ordinary people.

Zombies have crystalline nuclei in their brains.

Where do the superpowers of those with special abilities come from?

It's the brain.

Superhumans also have crystal nuclei in their brains.

The energy in the crystalline cores of superhumans' brains is purer.
