Chapter 593 Persuading Someone to Resign

After realizing that Wu Youfeng had indeed turned into a pig, everyone was even more confused.

How can a person turn into a pig?

Soon, someone in the know explained that it was the superpower of the leader of the superpowered squad that Wu Youfeng had offended—the ability to turn people into pigs.

Upon hearing this answer, everyone gasped.

There's such a superpower?

Wouldn't that make the captain invincible?

Anyone who offends him will be turned into a pig!

This is absolutely terrifying!

Although they were somewhat gloating over Wu Youfeng's misfortune and enjoyed watching the drama unfold, who can guarantee that they won't be the next victim?

If even Wu Youfeng, ranked fourth on the expert list, couldn't withstand the opponent's superpower, then those who are even weaker than Wu Youfeng would naturally be even less able to resist.

Therefore, the majority of the people there were resistant and fearful towards the superpowered team that unexpectedly came to the base. Some even complained to the management, hoping to persuade these people to leave.

Saying they were trying to persuade them to leave was just a polite way of putting it; what they really wanted was for this special abilities team to get out of the Farview Base.

Base Director Su Yuanjing received the news immediately, convened a base meeting, and summoned Wu Youfeng, Peng Liping, and other involved parties to understand the situation.

Su Yuanjing is thirty-five years old this year. Before the apocalypse, he was a senior executive in a large company with an annual salary of one million. After the apocalypse, he awakened dual wind and ice elemental abilities.

With his keen insight and formidable strength, he quickly built up his own power base and eventually established the Vision Base.

Looking at the pig on the ground, then at Peng Liping and the others, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this Wu Youfeng?"

"Hmph hmph hmph."

Before Peng Liping could speak, Wu Youfeng started groaning. Then, it lifted its hoof, and a small fireball instantly appeared inside the pig's hoof.

"This...it really is Wu Youfeng?"

Su Yuanjing, who had always had everything under control, suddenly felt his worldview crumbling.

As is well known, animal mutations do not result in superpowers.

So this pig really is Wu Youfeng.

Peng Liping nodded: "Manager Su, this really is the boss. If you don't believe me, ask them. There was a woman in the room who said just one sentence, and the boss turned into a pig."

"Yes, Manager Su, we all saw and heard it with our own eyes and ears."

"That woman also has psychic abilities. Before the boss turned into a pig, she tortured him a lot."

Listening to their conversation, Su Yuanjing couldn't help but rub his temples and continued to ask, "What did that person say?"

“What she said was…” Peng Liping recalled for a moment: “It seems to be: God said that Wu Youfeng is a pig. At the time, I thought this person was cursing the boss, and I thought she was too bad at cursing. But the boss turned into a pig the next second.”

"God said? What kind of new way of unlocking superpowers is this?"

Su Yuanjing thought for a moment but had no clue: "I don't know if her ability requires energy, or how much. If it doesn't require much or at all, then we'll be in trouble."

Peng Liping quickly said, "Manager Su, the important thing now is to turn our boss back. Since that woman can turn our boss into a pig, she should be able to turn him back. All she needs to do is say that our boss is not a pig."

Wu Youfeng immediately nodded.

That's what he thought too.

God knows how disgusting the drooling looks I received were as I walked away from that woman's place.

Su Yuanjing did not answer, but looked at the management on both sides of the conference table: "What do you all think about this? Speak freely."

The management team had been wanting to speak for a while, and upon hearing Su Yuanjing's words, they quickly offered their opinions.

“My subordinates have all complained to me. I heard that many superhumans in the base are panicked, fearing that the same thing that happened to Captain Wu will happen to them. I hope the base can persuade these people to leave.”

"I think these things come later. The most important thing right now is to figure out whether this pig-turning ability requires energy, and if so, how much energy is needed?"

"Whether it's a lot or a little, she can't turn all of us into pigs, so we just need to figure out whether her powers require energy."

"Does this even need to be clarified? It's a superpower, how could it not need energy? I don't think this question needs to be discussed. A superpower like turning into a pig definitely needs energy, and a lot of energy at that."

"I second that. What's more important now is our attitude towards this team of people with superpowers: should we befriend them and avoid offending them, or should we antagonize them?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yuanjing raised his hand and tapped on the table.

This was his usual action when he was thinking, and the senior management knew it, so everyone kept quiet for the moment.

"Hmph hmph hmph hmph".

Seeing this, Wu Youfeng anxiously nudged Su Yuanjing's leg with his pig nose. Su Yuanjing glanced down at Wu Youfeng and found it rather offensive.

Then he rubbed his temples again: "Regardless of whether we're on good terms or not, Wu Youfeng has become like this, so we still have to swallow our pride and talk to them about it. Otherwise, do you think they'll let Wu Youfeng turn back?"

“Manager Su, Captain Wu is fourth on our base’s expert list. Hitting Captain Wu is a slap in the face to our base. I think we can have a friendly talk first and ask them to turn Captain Wu back. After they’re back, we can make them compensate for the losses. If the compensation is enough, we can let it go. If not, we can give them another push and give everyone in the base an explanation.”

Upon hearing this, someone suggested, "What if they hadn't wanted to bring Captain Wu back in the first place?"

The person who gave the idea scoffed, "That's just asking for trouble. We're from the same base, why would we be afraid of a superpowered squad?"

Everyone present nodded in agreement with these words.

That's right, no matter how skilled they are, they're only about ten people.

Peng Liping seized the opportunity to say, "Manager Su, that pig in the superpowered team can talk. Do you think it might also be a human in disguise? If so, could we try to turn it against us?"

Su Yuanjing naturally looked at the information on the superpowered team immediately; it consisted of thirteen people plus a pig and a dog.

He narrowed his eyes at Peng Liping: "That's possible, but what can a pig do by turning it to the side?"

"It can make so many things: stir-fried pork, steamed ribs, braised pork bones..."

Peng Liping's voice grew softer and softer under Su Yuanjing's stare.

Hey, I'm here to talk about serious stuff, and you're giving me this abstract nonsense?

After glaring at Peng Liping, Su Yuanjing made up his mind: "Then let's do it as Deputy Manager Chen said. Deputy Manager Chen, you can handle this matter."

"Um."

"If things don't go well, remember not to make a scene on the spot. Come back first and we'll discuss it further, lest you become a pig too."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Manager Chen immediately realized what was going on.

He agreed too quickly.
