Chapter 455 Recruitment from the Xu Family

The capital is different from the dungeons in other areas.

While other cities are still struggling for survival, the capital has perfected its underground city and established a self-sufficient system, so there is no need to worry about survival.

However, the competition in the capital's underground city is fierce. Everyone wants to take advantage of the chaos to seize the right to speak in the capital and become the sole leader of the Xia Kingdom.

To become a leader, one must have enough capital. Supplies or survivors are all bargaining chips in the hands of the superiors.

The Floating City does not belong to any force at present, so various forces in the capital keep sending people here, all wanting to take the Floating City into their possession.

The evidence was irrefutable, and Hai Di was taken away. In order to thank Xia Xiaoman for helping him find the drug smoke bomb, the restaurant manager waived Xia Xiaoman's bill and served an extra braised fish to each table.

After leaving the restaurant, Xia Xiaoman realized belatedly that this meal was treated by Yu Jie, and it didn't matter to her whether the manager waived the bill or not.

Thinking about not having a meal with Yu Jie, Xia Xiaoman instantly felt like he had lost 100 million. Next time he saw Yu Jie, he would definitely apply for another meal at public expense.

After returning home, Xia Xiaoman connected three rooms and made it into an activity room for Maodan, and the remaining room became her bedroom.

After tidying up the room, Xia Xiaoman washed up and lay down on the bed to rest. After not sleeping on a stable bed for a month, Xia Xiaoman fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow. When she woke up again, it was already nine o'clock the next morning.

Xia Xiaoman stretched, got up to wash her face and brush her teeth, and then went to the kitchen to cook two pots of noodles. She poured the hairy eggs into one pot, and ate the other pot of spicy noodles by herself.

While eating noodles, Xia Xiaoman opened her phone to check if there were any messages. As soon as she opened the communication app, she saw a message from Lu Lanshan.

The black fruit that Fu Baiwei brought can indeed make the human body grow many capillaries. When water flows into the capillaries, it can absorb oxygen from the water. At the same time, this fruit can also change the human respiratory organs, reducing the human's demand for oxygen.

But this black fruit also has side effects, and they are not small. If you eat too much black fruit, your body will gradually become like a fish or a frog.

Fu Baiwei can move freely in stormy weather because her body is gradually changing towards that of a fish. Also, the reason she speaks so slowly is because she ate the black fruit.

In order to absorb oxygen from the water and reduce oxygen requirements, changes in the body are inevitable. At present, the laboratory has not been able to solve these side effects, so it is recommended not to try to eat these black fruits easily.

Although the black fruit cannot be eaten, the shell of the fruit can be used. The shell of the fruit is hard and strong and can be used instead of wood.

Lu Lanshan sent a message saying that she could trade with Fu Baiwei, and during the trade, she would try to find out why Fu Baiwei was injected with a chip. Yu Jie was worried that the mastermind behind injecting the chip into the mutant wanted to control the mutant. If that was the case, she had to stop it.

Mutants have powerful abilities, and if they are used by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences will be disastrous.

Xia Xiaoman replied with a message and asked Lu Lanshan to keep an eye on the weather conditions outside and notify her when the storm stopped.

After breakfast, Xia Xiaoman took Maodan to the sixth floor to find Nini. Nini's belly was swollen, and Director Hou said that Nini had three little wolf cubs in her belly, and they were developing well at the moment.

"Director Hou, Mayor Yu promised me that Nini would be under my care from now on. Now that I'm back, do you think Nini should also..." Xia Xiaoman looked at Director Hou.

Director Hou's face was long, "Nini is pregnant now, you should at least wait until Nini gives birth."

Mayor Yu only said that Nini belonged to Xia Xiaoman, but he did not say that the three wolf cubs in Nini's belly belonged to Xia Xiaoman. When the wolf cubs were born, Nini could take them away if she wanted. It was not too bad for him to exchange a mother wolf for three wolf cubs.

"By the way, I'll send you a document, you can take a look at it."

Hearing this, Xia Xiaoman took out her phone and opened the document sent by Director Hou. This was a job application contract. The Xu family behind Director Hou wanted to hire her, but they didn't specify what she was going to do. The document only focused on the salary.

If she agrees to join the Xu family, the Xu family will give her 15,000 points every month, and her food and accommodation will be reimbursed. She will receive a quarterly bonus every quarter, a year-end bonus every day, and holidays.

Xia Xiaoman put away her phone and looked at Director Hou, "Director Hou, what does this mean?"

Director Hou smiled and said, "It means exactly what it says. The Xu family wants to hire you. You don't need to do anything at ordinary times, just do what you should do. But if you are given a task, you must complete it. On the 15th of every month, report the recent situation and the information you have collected."

Xia Xiaoman raised an eyebrow, "You mean you want me to be your Xu family's undercover agent in Fucheng?"

Director Hou raised the corner of his lips, "It's not an undercover. We are negotiating with Mayor Yu now. If Mayor Yu is willing to support the Xu family to take power, you can help Mayor Yu, which is equivalent to helping us. But if you sign this contract, you can get two salaries. You can consider it."

Xia Xiaoman shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't like working for others."

The reason she agreed to help Mayor Yu set up a fleet was because she also wanted to go out and have a look. If anything went wrong in the underground city, she would have a way out. The second reason was that she wanted to help Li Yu'e and Sun Qing, so that they could earn some points and not have to work hard every day and earn only a few cents.

The last reason was to establish a good relationship with the authorities. With the official channel, she could do whatever she wanted more easily.

Moreover, she didn't need to sign any contract to join the fleet. If she didn't want to work anymore, she could just quit at any time. If she joined the Xu family, it would not be so easy to quit.

Director Hou knew that Xia Xiaoman would not agree easily, so he smiled and said, "Don't be so anxious to give me an answer. You can go back and think about it for a few days. If you are sure you really don't want to join, then reply to me."

Xia Xiaoman didn't say anything after hearing this, and took Maodan to play with Nini. After playing for a whole day, Maodan reluctantly left with Xia Xiaoman.

In the next few days, Xia Xiaoman would bring Maodan to the Science Museum whenever she had nothing to do. On the fifth day after returning to the underground city, Xia Xiaoman received a message from Lu Lanshan that the storm had stopped, reminding her not to forget the deal with Fu Baiwei.

Xia Xiaoman replied, "Who are you sending to help the mutants get the chips?"

Lv Lanshan: "Jiang Yue. She will go out with you. Gather at the headquarters at 8 o'clock in the morning three days later. I will send someone to escort you out of the underground city.
