Natural disasters + zombies (extreme heat, insect plagues, extreme cold, earthquakes, heavy rain, and other disasters followed one after another). Xie Purou had just completed her previous mission ...
Tong Qi was still breathing, and he watched the soil gradually cover his upper body. He was unable to use any of his special abilities.
His eyes were wide open, still filled with fear and disbelief.
They had done so many things together, and he originally thought that he was different from those people they killed. He also thought that they were the three closest brothers.
If he had known the outcome would be like this, he shouldn't have saved them. Bringing them back to the Blaze Base and trusting them was the thing he regretted most in his life.
Unfortunately, there is no "if" in the world. In this era where people with superpowers are rampant, the only thing they don't have is the ability to go back in time.
The blood spurting out of Tong Qi's body was gradually absorbed by the pile of earth, and his body fell limply to the side.
Scarface spat on Tong Qi's face, which was still open-eyed. "Bah! You want to wait until we succeed before you fight us? You're dreaming."
Who doesn't know that the first time is the riskiest? If you succeed the first time, you'll be familiar with the route the next time.
What kind of brotherhood are you talking about when you don't want to take any risk and just want to reap the benefits?
The two men hastily dumped the body somewhere, and then changed their viewpoint and arrived at another base with a truckload of water.
Xie Pu Rou felt a little nauseous when she saw this. Although there was no bloody scene, she just felt a chill.
"Can the Flame Base sell so much water at once?"
[Host, this video is from ten days ago. During this time, the two of them stockpiled water bit by bit. The Blaze Base has a rule that each person can only buy three bottles of water per day, and they only drank half a bottle of their stored water each day.]
She put a carefully peeled grape to her lips and chewed it slowly.
She hadn't seen what the punishment for reselling supplies was in this world, so she was curious.
"Where is the progress now? Can I watch them trade directly?"
The scene in front of him changed, and he was already in another base. Scarface and the mole-faced man were sitting in the car waiting for the buyer to come.
While peeling grapes, he casually asked, "Why aren't they punished directly?"
[The ban on reselling is a rule, but so far they have only had it in mind and haven't taken any actual action.]
"So it's only considered reselling after they've made the transaction?"
【right.】
Xie Pu Rou didn't say anything and continued reading.
There were two buyers coming, and it was really hard for him to wrap himself up so tightly in such hot weather.
Their car was parked in the shade, and the buyer knocked on the window and asked, "How much is the water?"
As soon as the car window opened, the hot air rushed in. The two looked impatient and didn't even want to look at the buyer. They pointed to the back seat and said, "Get in the car and talk."
It was really hot, and also to hide from others, the two buyers got into their car.
"Why isn't it as hot in your car as outside?" one of the buyers wondered.
It’s definitely not because the air conditioner is on. If the air conditioner could reach such a comfortable temperature, they would have stayed in the car a long time ago.
Even if it consumes fuel, it is better than being dehydrated by the heat.
The price of water is now completely different. In their base, a bottle of clean bottled water costs twenty crystal cores, and it is still not enough to grab.
The mole-faced man showed the bottle of water at his feet. "I'll give you a bottle of eighteen crystal cores. That's two crystal cores cheaper than what you get at your base. Isn't that a good deal?"
Before the buyer could say anything, Xie Pu Rou jumped up and slammed the table in anger.
"We only sell one bottle for one point! Damn water vendors, why can't I be the one selling water?!"
Her hand slammed on the table and it hurt so much that her expression was distorted.
I got so angry that I didn't want to sit here anymore. I moved to the swing with my milk tea in my arms and leaned on it.
The buyer took out the crystal core, and his dry lips were so cracked that they were bleeding redly.
Xie Purou felt quite distressed watching this. The price of water had been driven up so high, and who knew how many ordinary people's lives would be taken by this extreme heat.
It's impossible for the main host to end this extreme heat wave, but perhaps changing their approach and trying artificial rainfall might be a solution.
M80's words rekindled her hope, and her body, which had just sat up straight, fell limply again.
She pouted in dissatisfaction, "You're fooling me again."
"If this method is feasible, with so many scientists at the Central Base, and they're not slacking off every day, wouldn't they have thought of it? The fact that it hasn't been implemented means it's extremely difficult to implement."
[It is difficult for them to execute it, but the host only needs a crystal core to execute it.]
She tilted her head, trying to do her reading comprehension. "What do you mean? You want me to smoke again?"
[Artificial rainfall requires certain weather conditions to be carried out, which the scientists at the Central Base cannot do. However, the main host can draw artificial rainfall that can be carried out regardless of the weather...]
M80 didn't finish what she was saying, leaving some room for her imagination to think.
"ah--!"
Several exclamations came through the projection screen.
Looking up, they saw that the goods had disappeared on their own, vanishing before the gazes of their four pairs of eyes.
"This...what's going on? Which one of you has spatial ability?" The buyer looked angry.
"No, we are not space-ability users." Scarface and the mole-faced man showed them their abilities to prove their innocence.
People with spatial abilities are so rare, there are only a few of them in ten thousand people. It would be great if they were people with spatial abilities.
As for dual-element psychics? They had never seen one before, so it was even less likely for them to think of it.
"We paid for the crystal core, so you have to give me the water."
The bottle of water was still in the mole man's hand. He just handed it over, but the buyer didn't take it.
So they really have to agree to the buyer's request for a replacement bottle of water.
The mole-faced man took another bottle, and this time the four of them stared at the water in his hand.
The moment the buyer was about to touch it, the water disappeared again.
"Grass!"
The man with the mole cursed and quickly explained before the man with the scar looked at him.
"You all watched, I didn't do anything."
The mole-faced man turned his head away, angrily not wanting to look at them. "Don't look at me like that! Try a bottle yourself."
Scarface looked at him as if he wanted to eat him alive, but then he thought again and felt that he really didn't see anything wrong.
He took a bottle of water from under the mole man's feet and handed it to him.
The mole-faced man turned his head awkwardly and stared at the water. He wanted to see who was causing the trouble.
The water disappeared again, and the buyer was scared to death, snatching the crystal core that the two had just given out.
"Ghost! We didn't touch your water, we won't buy it." The two men staggered out of the car and crawled.
"Now you believe it, it really wasn't me." The man with the mole felt better, and he was not the only one who felt this way.
"Could it be the base regulations?"
The two had a vague guess, but they still didn't give up and waited for two more buyers. It was the same.
The scarred man suggested: "This is not the place to talk, let's go back to the Flame Base first."
