Chapter 113 Picked Up on the Highway

Pei Yi didn't say anything more; the final decision was up to Ling Ran.

Ling Ran, who had only said "hmm" at the beginning, finally spoke again: "Okay, but I have one condition."

"Miss Ling, please speak."

"I've heard that residents of your base are not allowed to leave the base without official permission?"

This is what Pei Yi and the others found out when they went out in the afternoon.

Although the survivors are of little use now, population growth will be a very important thing when the base is stable and strong in the future.

Therefore, ordinary people in each base are an important part of the base.

Once inside the base, there's no way to leave unless assigned a mission by the base. Even when assigned a mission, you're always with base officials.

If you really want to leave the base, you'll have to hand over enough supplies.

But these supplies are probably more than an average person could accumulate in a lifetime.

Wei Xing nodded: "That's true."

He responded like that, but in his heart he already guessed what Ling Ran was going to say.

"I've spotted a few ordinary people at your base, and I want them."

"It's their good fortune that Miss Ling has taken a liking to them. This is a small matter, and I can agree to it." Wei Xing had heard from his subordinates that the ordinary people were two stinky novelists, a chef, and a little girl.

They aren't exactly practical talents; the fact that they can get him to give Ling Ran face is far more useful than they are themselves.

"Okay, then let's do it this way. Just let us know when the mission time comes."

"OK."

After the matter was concluded, Wei Xing did not get up to leave. Instead, he turned his gaze to the balcony and asked, "Miss Ling, may I ask how you came to have this talking pig with superpowers?"

I found it on the highway.

"Highway?" Wei Xing was a little confused. Could it be that a pig demon came out of one of the pig transport trucks?

He stopped dwelling on that and went straight to his purpose: "Miss Ling, could we borrow this pig from our base for some research? Don't worry, we'll just do a simple study and return it to you in perfect condition!"

It's important to know that none of these animals possess any special abilities, let alone the ability to speak.

This is such a rare thing. If we could study it and get some clues about the zombie vaccine, it would be so worthwhile.

"Forget it, it's just a simple pig."

Seeing that Ling Ran refused, Wei Xing didn't ask any further questions. However, he noticed that when Ling Ran said those words, everyone else seemed to have suffered a stroke, their lips twitching.

Wei Xing didn't think much of it. He was about to do a mission with Ling Ran's team, so the mission was the priority right now. He didn't want to offend them because of this.

After finishing his story, Wei Xing got up to take his leave.

After the door was closed, the others, who had been twitching, finally burst out laughing.

Others may not know, but don't they already know?

What mutated talking pig? That's a person!

After Wei Xing left, Liu Xiuping and the others went back to the kitchen to prepare dinner, while the others absorbed energy from the crystal cores they had collected.

They're about to participate in an SS-level mission, so they need to work hard and not be outdone by other superpowered teams, lest they embarrass Ling Ran.

Ling Ran was speechless when she saw that they were having a hard time absorbing the crystal cores. It took them as long as twenty minutes to absorb one crystal core, and as long as an hour.

According to the progression of superpowers, it takes a thousand crystal cores to go from level one to level two. First, it takes a lot of time to accumulate these crystal cores, and then it takes a very long time to absorb them. No wonder superpower users are so weak now.

"You, bring all the crystal cores over here."
