Chapter 67 Chapter 67 "So I want to go there and see if I can...

Seeing that everyone had felt the change in their skills and their morale was high, Wen Yuan did not linger for long and asked people to bring all their rhenium stones and rhenium crystals into the store to pay.

As he had expected, they didn't have enough money to pay for the meal, let alone buy more corn juice.

And this was even after Ye Mian gave him a 50% discount on his friendship.

If Xu Ziyue and the others were present, they would see that Wen Yuan, who had previously said that he would owe it first, showed a somewhat unnatural look and asked with a light cough, "Can I keep the account?"

Ye Mian had long guessed that this situation would occur. After all, although they started fighting mutants very early, they did not collect much rhenium stone, and the rhenium crystals came from intermediate mutants.

He took out a pen and paper from under the counter and wrote down the information while saying, "The high-level mutants have golden rhenium crystals, which can be worth ten rhenium crystals. I'll give you five."

"That way, the pizza bill is settled. Corn juice isn't that expensive. Just see how many bottles you want. If it's not enough, squeeze more."

He looked down at the account that Ye Mian had calculated, then Wen Yuan looked up at her again and suddenly asked, "Do you know the use of these ores?"

"Um?"

Ye Mian was startled, not because he asked this suddenly, but because he asked at the right time. She just learned the uses of rhenium stone and rhenium crystal from the workshop yesterday.

Then she nodded slightly: "I roughly know, but it's still in the research stage. I'll tell you when I figure it out."

Wen Yuan's eyes darkened: "Just let me know if you need anything."

Hearing him say this, Ye Mian paused and said, "I really have something to ask of you."

It’s nothing else but the Dream Workshop - whether it’s the glass and ceramic crafts on the first floor or the four technologies on the second floor, relevant talents are urgently needed.

But Ye Mian didn't want to poach people, but to borrow people.

It just so happened that Wen Yuan was very curious about the specific uses of rhenium stone and rhenium crystal, so he sent a few relevant talents to help, and regarded it as training. After the research is completed, they can go back and promote what they have learned in practice.

"We do have talents related to weapons." Thinking that the situation has changed now and privately manufacturing weapons is no longer illegal, a trace of restraint flashed in Wen Yuan's eyes.

"But the doctor may only come once or twice occasionally, and the rest will be asked again."

This is enough. The farm is not short of supplies. What it lacks is various weapons. Moreover, as the level of mutants increases, ordinary weapons will become less and less useful. I believe Wen Yuan and the others will need them soon.

Ye Mian nodded: "Thank you very much in advance."

And she didn't just thank him verbally. After Wen Yuan confirmed the quantity of corn juice and signed the bill, she added a few bottles of carrot juice and some fruit sandwiches to the gifts she had prepared.

This time, instead of keeping it secret and waiting for them to discover it themselves, I told him the specific effects directly.

For Wen Yuan, when he saw the first kind of food with special effects, he felt a little curious and skeptical, but after seeing the second and third kind, he would not be surprised no matter how many more there were.

He didn't bother to be polite with Ye Mian. He just thanked him and accepted everything.

Ye Mian thought that he had thought about the upcoming war and that he was quite familiar with her, which was why he stopped so quickly and neatly.

But when everyone was ready, she walked over to the field team led by Lu Ning, and saw that except Lu Ning, the others were adapting with a pistol in each hand, and then she understood.

He had prepared the things long ago, he didn't just take them without giving anything.

Although several members of the field team have never had the opportunity to touch a gun, their physical fitness has improved after becoming evolvers, so their accuracy may be slightly worse, but recoil is not a problem.

Having such a weapon can not only be used for self-defense at critical moments, but also be used to attract the attention of mutants and serve as an evacuation.

Ye Mian felt more relieved: "I will go to Li City first, you guys take care of yourselves and follow Captain Haowen and the others."

"Okay." Lu Ning clenched the sword in his hand and nodded slightly.

She hadn't changed the sword into any other shape since yesterday, apparently because she wanted to get closer to it.

And with Lu Ning around, Ye Mian really doesn't have to worry about anything.

After watching his two cars catch up with Wen Yuan's convoy and leave the farm, Ye Mian turned back and gave Xue Kai a few words of instruction, then appeared directly in the center of Li City.

The tactics agreed upon by Wen Yuan and Cheng Ya were very simple, that is, to take advantage of the fact that each advanced mutant had its own territory and defeat them one by one. If they were lucky, they could occupy the southern part of the city forever. If they were unlucky, they would just take advantage of the situation and retreat after capturing one.

She only had to do one thing today - use fluorescent powder to attract all the mutants that were farther away from the south of the city.

This would make it convenient for Cheng Ya and his group to get out of the subway station and meet up with Wen Yuan and his group.

It can also allow them to focus on fighting one of the high-level mutants in the city without being surrounded by too many high-level mutants.

As for the weaknesses, Ye Mian had already told Wen Yuan the truth after several previous investigations.

Although it may not be easy to find, his elite team has already had two experiences of fighting against advanced mutants, and I believe that this time they can delay it until he can successfully use his skills.

However, there are still too many uncertainties in actual combat. For example, the advanced mutants this time are stronger and their intelligence has also been improved. In addition to letting the low-level mutants below rush to the front, they have also learned to observe.

These past few days, Ye Mian would take time out to come to Li Market every day to make sure there were no unexpected situations or traps, so he had to stay close to the center of the territory.

Although she was very careful every time, as soon as she used the [Eye of Truth], she would feel the threat was deliberately directed at her, and a small group of mutants would be able to accurately detect her presence and try to besiege her.

As for the size, it is no longer getting bigger as it gets stronger like the previous two, but is evolving in a direction that is more convenient for fighting.

One of them looks smaller than some intermediate mutants, but it has limbs covered with sharp serrations. It is extremely agile and its jumping ability is not inferior to some evolvers with related skills.

When encountering this kind of monster, it is not enough to just enhance personal combat power, but also depends on mutual cooperation.

In short, this battle in Li City should be the most difficult battle since the mutation.

I looked up at the gloomy sky. It looked like it was going to rain soon, or as if even the heavens were feeling heavy over this battle.

Ye Mian secretly clicked his tongue, took out fluorescent powder and sprinkled it on himself, then stood there until the approaching noise turned into a loud rumbling sound, then he slowly moved towards the subway station where Cheng Ya and the others were.

…

Suburbs of Yanshi, university town.

As the provincial capital, Yanshi is more than twice as large as its surrounding cities and is home to some of the best universities in the province.

However, in the early days, although these universities were close to each other, there were still factories, commercial areas, residential areas, etc. mixed in between.

Later, when the city was planned again, several private universities were added, so the government simply moved all the campuses to this area, thus creating a university town that has almost become a tourist attraction.

The entire university town is divided into two parts by an unknown river, namely the East District and the West District.

At this time, one could see some tents and simple sheds set up on the river bank near the east district. The people inside were either lying or sitting to rest, or busy running around. Some people had set up a big pot and started a fire, and soon smoke filled the air.

Several of them were standing beside a stone arch bridge, talking with serious expressions.

"Still not working?"

The one being stared at by several eyes was a woman in her twenties with a high ponytail. She shook her head first, then sighed and said, "Captain Pei still said the same thing. They only want evolvers with combat skills, and don't want others."

Seeing that everyone was disappointed, the woman said quickly, "But I brought back some supplies, which should be enough for everyone to survive for a few more days."

"Supplies? You..."

"Yes," the woman said with a look of resignation and apology on her face, "In exchange, I will join Captain Pei's team. I'm sorry, Brother Hou, and thank you for your care during this period of time."

Watching the woman leave the supplies she brought back, bending slightly to signal, and then walking into the east campus, Hou Rong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but no sound came out until the person walked away.

Her skill is [Absolute Fairness]. Any enemy she chooses will immediately become as powerful as her. However, she has almost no combat power. When she encounters high-level mutants, her skill is simply magical.

He originally thought that letting her intercede would make Captain Pei slightly moved and relax the conditions, but in the end he just sent the person away for nothing.

As for these supplies, they are just alms and are not worth such a magical skill at all.

If he had known this earlier, he would have been ruthless, kept the man firmly in his hands, and forced Captain Pei to nod.

"Brother Hou, what should we do now? Should we go to the West District?"

Hearing this, Hou Rong couldn't help but turn his head and look towards the west campus.

There is another team over there, with several hundred people, and they accept everyone who comes.

But he always felt that there was something wrong with the deputy captain, and the East District was definitely superior in terms of combat power and had collected more supplies. Could the West District really support so many people?

As he thought about it, Hou Rong stroked the obviously newly printed flyer in his pocket. He thought for a moment before speaking.

"Go gather everyone together and see if they want to go to the East District or the West District, or if they want to come with me."

Hearing this, the people nearby were all stunned.

Go with him? Where to?

After a while, a tall and thin young man realized something: "Brother Hou, you don't think that flyer is real, do you?"

The pollution of the land and water is obvious to all. There is no way to have any fresh corn and sweet potatoes. Even if someone really stockpiled a large amount of crops before the disaster, they might not be able to keep them. Even if they did, they might spoil and rot over time.

Instead of taking the risk of going to that farm, it is better to go directly to the people in the West District.

Hou Rong looked at him and did not answer the question. Instead, he asked, "Xiao Ding, do you think it takes electricity to print flyers?"

"Well, of course... I think it will be used."

“Right.”

With the development of technology, machines are needed for everything, and electricity is needed to start the machines.

Hou Rong clutched the flyer tightly: "So I want to go there and see if I can get closer to hope."
