Chapter 442 All I can say is that I loved.

The upgraded evolution fluid is indeed fine; it even has a slight self-healing effect on human wounds.

Considering the limited plot points, it seems the base has indeed developed a zombie vaccine, so Xia Qianqian's space must truly contain a spiritual spring.

But why does this spiritual spring smell so familiar?

Ling Ran picked up the evolution fluid again and sniffed it, her brows furrowing slightly. Pei Yi, standing beside her, asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with this evolution fluid? Zhou Chong assured us it was fine, it shouldn't be like this."

"No problem."

Ling Ran handed him the evolution fluid, but she already had her answer in her heart.

Isn't this the spiritual water of the cultivation world, similar to spiritual rice? It contains spiritual power and is useful to cultivators.

After all, eating ordinary grains will create impurities in the body, while these foods and waters containing spiritual energy will not.

So that's what it is. She has a lot of them.

Just then, Dong Yuanjiu, who had personally delivered the evolution fluid, rubbed his hands together and said, "Sir, it's like this, I heard that you have impurity-free crystal cores that can be exchanged here. Can I exchange them with you?"

"Can."

Ling Ran nodded.

She would never refuse something that was guaranteed to make a profit.

Pei Yi called Dong Yuanjiu aside to discuss the crystal core exchange. Shen Nianshen stood next to Ling Ran and took out some supplies from his spatial storage, handing them to the flying ability user at Hope Base.

"You've worked hard. This is a reward from your master."

The flying ability user was somewhat excited: "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

He traveled day and night to deliver the evolution fluid, never expecting to receive a reward from the adults; this was an unexpected bonus.

When Hope Base issued this mission, flying ability users fought tooth and nail for it.

After all, the adult was the god of everyone in the base. They were about to be wiped out, but the adult killed all the zombies by himself.

Who wouldn't be eager for a chance to meet an adult?

Ling Ran felt the burning gaze of the flying ability user. Just as she was about to say something, Shen Nianshen put his arm around the flying ability user's shoulder and took him outside.

"Come here, I have something to tell you."

Seeing this, Ling Ran stopped asking.

She had originally wanted to gossip about Xia Qianqian and Zhou Chong's situation.

After all, Xia Qianqian has even entrusted the spiritual spring to him, so she must trust Zhou Chong a lot, right?

Phoenix Base truly lives up to its reputation as a large base.

Dong Yuanjiu immediately took out 100,000 crystal cores to exchange with Ling Ran, of which 70,000 were level 2 crystal cores and 30,000 were level 3 crystal cores.

Pei Yi told him to come and pick it up tomorrow, so Dong Yuanjiu took his leave with the flying ability user. Before leaving, the flying ability user said goodbye to Ling Ran with reluctance: "My lord, we'll meet again someday."

"See you again someday."

Ling Ran had read novels about the entertainment industry, which described celebrities' brainless fans who supported and believed in their idols no matter what they did.

When she first saw it, she felt that the fan was too irrational. Now, seeing this flying superhuman, she felt that he was a bit like her brainless fan.

But when Ling Ran became that "star" who was believed in, I suddenly felt that the die-hard fans were really great.

That's normal. If you think about it carefully, no matter what you do, there will be people who believe in you and support you. When everyone else is criticizing you, only this 'fan' stays with you. Who wouldn't like that?

Indeed, human nature is to apply double standards.

Even God is no exception.

After the person left, Ling Ran asked Shen Nianshen, "Why did you ask that flying ability user to go out just now?"

"Ahem, I'm Zhou Chong, the gossipmonger."

Pei Yi said from the side, "I think you're not gossiping about Zhou Chong, but about Xia Qianqian. After all, you two had a period of ambiguous relationship before."

Shen Nian Shen: "..."

He was just annoyed that the flying ability user kept staring at the adults.

Why are we talking about Xia Qianqian again?

To be honest, if it hadn't been brought up today, he would have completely forgotten about this person. Even now that it's been mentioned, he can't remember what Xia Qianqian looks like.

"What did Zhou Chong say about gossip?"

"We hope the base has now entered the semi-production and construction phase, and a civil affairs bureau has been established. Zhou Chong and Xia Qianqian have heard that they are going to get their marriage certificate."

Gu Zijing exclaimed in amazement, "That's really amazing! Other bases are still struggling to survive, not even able to meet their basic needs, while they've already entered the semi-production and construction stage."

"Yes, I heard that Zhou Chong was lucky enough to find a national grain reserve warehouse, which relieved the people at the base of their survival pressure. However, water resources are relatively scarce, so they have been recruiting water-based ability users."

"That's incredibly lucky! They even managed to find a national grain reserve warehouse, which must contain hundreds of tons of supplies!"

Ling Ran was skeptical of this.

She felt that this so-called granary should be Xia Qianqian's space.

I vaguely remember that Xia Qianqian had stockpiled a lot of supplies. Before the apocalypse, she sold her house and car, took out bank loans and online loans to buy supplies. As soon as the apocalypse arrived, she was the first to achieve zero-cost purchases and obtained a huge amount of supplies.

It should be no problem to support a Hope Base for at least a few years.

Pei Xiu chimed in from the side, "This Zhou Chong, isn't he living the life of a winner? He seems like the male lead in a novel. How come he gets all the good things and talents? Even with my sister's cheat codes, we can't catch up with him."

Ling Ran glanced at Pei Xiu, and for the first time, her eyes showed admiration when she looked at him.

This foolish little brother actually saw through the truth that no one else had.

Pei Yi patted Pei Xiu on the head: "Don't make excuses. He's both excellent and hardworking. Isn't it natural that he's better than you? You need to work even harder."

"Oh, people who are more talented than me are also working harder than me, so why should I work hard? I can't compare to them anyway."

Pei Xiu hugged Ling Ran's arm: "I'll rely on my sister. No matter how hard those outstanding people work, they can't compare to my sister."

The rest of the people: "..."

Gu Zijing couldn't help but say, "My lord, you can't be a brother-supporting demon, otherwise Pei Xiu will be ruined."

He would never admit that he was jealous.

"Hmph, you're just jealous." Pei Xiu wasn't unhappy at all; on the contrary, he was very happy. The more jealous they were, the more it proved that his sister doted on him.

That smug look of his is really asking for a beating.

At this moment, the thoughts of the people present were strangely synchronized.

That evening, Su Yimo and Chen Le returned.

During the meal, Ling Ran asked her, "We're leaving Phoenix Base in a couple of days. Are you taking your lover with you?"

"I won't bring them; they're all just fleeting affairs."

Pei Yi, standing next to him, seemed a little incredulous: "I thought you loved him very much."

"All I can say is that I loved him."

"..."

She's definitely a scumbag woman.

Su Yimo's behavior these days has been quite worrying to them. They thought she was love-struck again, but they didn't expect her to be so terrifying. She even tried to kiss them forcefully. Ugh, she's on the wrong wavelength.

Surprisingly, she was perfectly lucid.

As for Chen Le, no one asked him anything.

If someone was a prodigal son before the end of the world, you can't expect them to turn over a new leaf after the end of the world.

"Why didn't you ask me?" Chen Le asked anxiously.

"What do you have to ask? You scumbag."

Chen Le: "..."

They're all scum, so how come Su Yimo is considered more noble than him?
