More than half an hour had passed since Su Yanghu led the team into the treatment station. Even without giving any signal, Hao Yi had already sensed that something was wrong.

His heart sank at that moment, hoping that he would not end up losing more than he gained, not only failing to recruit the person but also losing a second-level team leader.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement, so he decided to go in alone to check the situation, leaving the others on standby. After all, if Su Yanghu encountered an extreme situation where he couldn't even send a signal, it would be useless to call more people.

…

The woman in a white coat was leaning on a chair by the window, while three big men, weighing at least four or five hundred pounds in total, were lying on the ground with their legs spread out.

This was the first scene that caught Hao Yi's eye after he entered the door.

After entering the apocalypse, unless there was no other clothing available, everyone avoided wearing white. It was stale, difficult to clean, and especially noticeable when stained by blood. But the white coat on the woman before him was spotless, as if she had never worn one before when encountering zombies.

Considering the rumors from outside, it seems that the other party has the means to keep the zombies away.

The woman in white sat up straight when he entered, and pointed at the person lying on the ground: "Do you know him?"

"Yes." Su Yang and Hu Yiyi looked normal, breathing normally, as if he was just asleep. They didn't know what kind of supernatural power he had.

"I wonder if they have offended you in any way. If so, I, Hao Yi, would like to apologize to you on their behalf. Look..."

"Apologize?"

Unsure of her intentions, Hao Yi pulled out a briefcase, opened it, and spread it out on the reception room's single tabletop. Inside was at least hundreds of first-order crystal cores, and even a rare second-order core. "This is a small token of our goodwill, intended to welcome you to our organization. Please forgive us if their words or actions were disrespectful."

Be smart! Eryi was shamefully tempted.

Just as she was about to nod and accept the box of crystal cores, Ling Ling Ba's voice rang out in her mind again, "Warning: Energy can only be obtained by selling healing services. Bribes are not allowed."

Tsk.

"What do you think this place is?" Er Yi frowned. "You surrounded me early this morning and came in looking like you were saying all the nice things. Did you think I didn't know there were dozens of people left outside?"

Hao Yi had seen plenty of people who had been talking peacefully before suddenly turning on their enemies before the apocalypse. But back then, Deep Blue had never been at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, let alone after the apocalypse. He forced a smile, "Don't be angry. It's not good to get yourself into trouble. We're also trying to prevent outsiders from interrupting our discussions and to provide a safer environment to prevent zombies from entering. If you don't like it, I'll go out and have them leave immediately."

"Those few on the ground..."

"Shall I take it away immediately?"

"That's not necessary." Er Yi straightened his white coat and stood up. "This is a treatment station. Since he came in standing, I can't let him leave sideways."

She closed the box of crystal cores and put it away. "This is the consultation fee. You, help me carry the patient into the house."

Hao Yi naturally didn't dare to say no, and obediently carried Su Yanghu and the others into the medical room. Following Eryi's instructions, he put Su Yanghu on the bed and the two subordinates on the chairs.

"Okay, then wait." Eryi was already very happy in her heart. The amount of the medical fee was not hers to decide. Now she received a box of crystal cores in one go. Not only would she not have to worry about basic consumption for a long time, but she could even perform two basic plane teleportations.

Hao Yi was apprehensive. After just one encounter, he'd already guessed that Eryi was someone they couldn't afford to offend. He couldn't fathom Eryi's emotions, but he felt she still wouldn't let him go. He didn't know how long he'd have to wait, and he was even more worried that the other team members waiting outside would rashly come in and anger Eryi again.

…

Seeing that Hao Yi had been gone for half an hour and had not returned, the leader of Group 2 could no longer hold back. The two people who were originally responsible for this task had already left, and the other members of Group 1 who stayed behind began to complain because their leader had not returned and they had cleared out no less than a hundred zombies passing by.

"It's been over an hour. If everything is fine, at least Mr. Hao will come back."

"Do you think it's the same as you? Team Leader Su is a second-level fire-type mutant. If something really happened, it's impossible that he wouldn't even make a sound."

"Haven't you heard the rumors about this place? I heard that even zombies don't enter this damn place..."

"Do you believe the rumors?"

The chattering made him extremely upset, so after asking his subordinates to report the situation to the headquarters, he decided to break in with two teams.

…

Looking at these familiar faces who had just come in and fallen to the ground, Hao Yi wished he could close his eyes and fall down together.

Although Hao Yi had spoken out to stop his subordinates the moment they noticed them coming in, the outcome of the battle was already decided in the blink of an eye. Those who had entered the room all fell down, and those who had not entered the room, after Hao Yi's roar, all stayed outside and dared not move.

Hao Yi himself had awakened his Wood Element ability, making his five senses much more sensitive than an average person. Yet, he didn't even notice the other person's attack. He wasn't sure if there was a high-level psychic in the room he couldn't detect, or if the person before him was a dual-element high-level psychic.

There were rare psychic abilities within the organization, but a first-level ability could only cause confusion and loss of control of the limbs for a period of time. He didn't know what level of ability it was that could instantly bring down six psychics, but he understood why Su Yanghu had fallen so silently.

He observed Eryi quietly, and seeing her gloomy face, his legs softened and he thought in despair, "This door is not big, and these guys are all tall and strong. How can they move so quickly and let so many people come in at once?"

…

Eryi was almost unable to hold it back, and she had to force herself to laugh out loud unhappily.

Counting the heads dropped by the other party on the ground, she was wondering how many crystal cores she should collect this time. Just now, three people collected a box of crystal cores, and this time, six came in.

Double it is okay.

"It's a misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding." Hao Yi finally managed to speak. "If you see anything broken or feel something is wrong, we will compensate you, double it, triple it. For example, this..."

Hao Yi wanted to find something nearby that had been damaged by super powers as an analogy. After all, they were many in number, and they had released some super powers just now. Especially those super powers who had not yet entered the house, many of them had smashed the signboard, door, and windows of the treatment station with their super powers.

He was speechless.

None of it was damaged.
