Chapter 71 Chapter 71 "Captain Pei, huh? I came to talk to you about writing...

However, the university town is at the other end of the city, and it takes nearly an hour to drive straight through. But of course, Ye Mian and the other two can't drive through the city like this, and in the end they will still have to take a detour.

Ye Mian switched to the driver's seat again, and while following the map to bypass the buildings in the city, he used his skills to observe his surroundings.

They were not only on guard against the sudden appearance of a large number of mutants, but also looking for a suitable place to keep Yan Dongni and Shi Lang to train combination skills and develop more tacit understanding.

The day before yesterday, when Hou Rong told her about the situation in Yanshi, he also told her how he and his group of people found the location of the farm from Yanshi.

There is a village that must be avoided.

Although it is a village, it is not a remote countryside village, but a demolished village in the suburbs of Yanshi City. Half of the land has been razed to build a number of unfinished buildings, and half of the nail households have not yet moved out.

The key point lies in that batch of unfinished buildings - no one knows what is inside, but they always attract mutants to linger there. After one batch is cleared out, another batch comes, like weeds that can never be burned out.

For this reason, Captain Pei Ming from the East District led people to search there, but found nothing.

But the good news is that that area will only attract low-level mutants, and they will not kill or devour each other.

In Ye Mian's opinion, this village is the most suitable place.

Fortunately, the combination of unfinished buildings and low-rise buildings was very conspicuous. With the help of carrot juice, Ye Mian saw it from afar.

After dropping the two people off at the entrance of the village, Ye Mian looked at the tall buildings in the distance and said, "Run if you encounter danger. Don't wait for me."

Shi Lang nodded seriously: "Got it."

After saying that, he took Yan Donni, who looked eager to try, and ran quickly into the village.

Ye Mian waited for a while, and when he found nothing unusual, he drove back to the university town.

The reason why Yanshi University Town was able to hold on was not because of the presence of more than a thousand evolvers, but because of its special terrain.

When the area was replanned, in order to create an exclusive learning atmosphere, they did things to the extreme, such as moving mountains and filling lakes, building roads into mazes, and installing stairs. This perfectly separated the university town from the city, making it extremely difficult to enter and exit.

So it is just like an industrial park, with all the necessary supporting facilities, just like a small town.

But the difference is that the students had no pressure to survive, and since the power outage and water pollution occurred, they optimistically treated the trip as a holiday to return home.

As soon as the students left, all the facilities and shops closed.

After the mutation, the university town became a natural refuge that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, with complete supplies.

But this is all temporary.

As supplies gradually deplete and the mutants in the city continue to upgrade, the situation will be reversed in an instant.

If the evolvers in the university town do not intend to leave, then a major battle in Yan City is imminent.

Pei Ming was naturally very clear about this.

"At this rate of material consumption, we may have to cut back to one meal every two days, unless..."

"A Xiu, do you feel that things have been a little too quiet these days?"

Seeing that she was interrupted and the topic was totally off topic, Ning Zixiu closed the book with a snap and said expressionlessly, "Isn't it better to be quiet?"

She said this with a hint of anger, but she also knew in her heart that things had been too quiet recently, and it was not a good sign that their team of more than 300 people were idle and had nothing to do every day.

On the way here just now, Ning Zixiu had heard several groups of people discussing whether or not to go into the city to search again, and to get as much supplies as possible.

However, they overlooked the fact that mutants were becoming more and more intelligent, and if they didn't move, they were probably causing trouble.

Pei Ming tapped his hand on the windowsill a few times, then said in a low voice: "It seems that we need to be prepared for both situations."

The so-called two-hand preparation is actually to make a plan to enter the city to search for supplies, and evacuate in all directions if something is wrong, leaving Yanshi directly without having to return to the university town.

But where can we go if we leave Yanshi?

Food and water were already scarce supplies before the mutation, and now it has been two months since the mutation. Where would there be enough supplies to accommodate outsiders?

Seeing the man beside her lower his head for the first time, as if thinking about the worst outcome, Ning Zixiu couldn't help but sigh and turned to look out the window.

When Ning Zixiu suddenly saw a unique color, she thought she was dazzled. She rubbed her eyes and looked again, and saw that the eye-catching black and red were clearer.

She opened her mouth and it took her a long time to utter a word: "Is that... a human or a mutant?"

Ning Zixiu is always very calm and rarely gets so excited. Pei Ming looked up, but because his eyesight is not as good as Ning Zixiu's, he only saw a small black dot.

But the next moment, the little black dot suddenly appeared downstairs, and raised its head slightly to look at them.

Only then did Pei Ming realize that it was a black umbrella. Under the umbrella was a very young girl who was dressed strangely and did not look like a normal person.

"Go down and take a look."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two of them jumped out of the window at the same time as if they had started some synchronized program, and fell directly to the ground on the first floor from the building that was dozens of meters high.

When Ye Mian saw this scene, he subconsciously raised his eyebrows, then after scanning the information of the two people, he had a rough idea in his mind.

This man and woman have the skill [Absolute Control +], which allows them to control any object, including themselves, to perform any actions or behaviors that they do not want or cannot do.

[Super Perception +], able to perceive all living things within a certain range.

The latter is somewhat similar to her original insight, with the advantage of being able to perceive specific quantities and strengths, but the disadvantage of being unable to see weaknesses.

These two people should be Captain Pei Ming and Deputy Captain Ning Zixiu mentioned by Hou Rong.

Her trick really worked wonders. It directly sent the two people she wanted to see to her, without wasting any words.

After folding the umbrella with a snap, Ye Mian smiled slightly: "Captain Pei, right? I came to discuss a deal with you."

Pei Ming looked at her without saying anything for a while. After a while, he suddenly frowned and said, "You...?"

"Don't bother using your skills on me," Ye Mian put the umbrella into the system warehouse, "Deputy Captain Ning should be able to sense that I'm not a mutant, so let's find a place to sit down and discuss our deal."

Ning Zixiu's expression changed slightly. Whether it was what Ye Mian said to Pei Ming or the word "perception", they all revealed a message - she could know what their skills were.

And from the fact that she can teleport and seems to have space-related skills, it can be inferred that she has at least three skills.

Is she really an evolver?

Pei Ming quickly accepted it and said calmly, "Then let's talk upstairs."

As he said that, he took Ning Zixiu upstairs again. As soon as they landed, he saw Ye Mian bending down and jumping down from the windowsill.

His heart moved slightly. Not only did she have multiple skills, but she had also been upgraded.

Ye Mian looked around this simple office, and sensed the upstairs and downstairs a little, then took out a piece of rhenium stone and a piece of rhenium crystal and placed them on the desk.

"Do you collect these two types of stones?"

Pei Ming ignored Ning Zixiu's secretly dissuading look and nodded: "Yes, how much do you need?"

"It depends on how much you can come up with."

Ye Mian didn't say much, he just took things out from the system warehouse, such as brochures, price lists, bagged samples, etc. In a short while, he had occupied a quarter of the desktop.

At the beginning, Pei Ming and the other two looked at it with wary and suspicious eyes, but later they were stunned.

Afterwards, Pei Ming relaxed his guard a little, approached Ye Mian, picked up the lists and checked them.

Ning Zixiu stared at the bagged foods on the table. They were obviously some ordinary sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, and ground rice and flour, but she swallowed subconsciously.

God knows how long she has been wanting to have a normal meal!

Soon, she realized that she had swallowed her saliva too early, because Ye Mian took out boxes of steamed buns, steamed buns, fried dumplings, steamed buns, rice balls, and even... She exclaimed: "There are fruits too? How are they stored?"

Seeing that the table was almost ready, Ye Mian stopped and said, "I just picked them this morning and washed them."

“…”

“…”

Pei Ming remembered something: "Is it Hou Rong? Is this the flyer he mentioned? Dream Farm?"

"Yes, he told me all your information."

At this point, Ye Mian suddenly remembered that he hadn't introduced himself yet: "My name is Ye Mian, Mian as in Anmian."

But it was obvious that the two no longer cared about her name, and all their attention was on the food on the table.

At the same time, Pei Ming was in a complicated mood. He refused to take in Hou Rong and others, and even drove them to the west district. As a result, Hou Rong brought him new life.

Regardless of Ye Mian's background, the food was genuine, as could be seen from Ning Zixiu's reaction.

He handed the order in his hand to Ning Zixiu, who had just come to her senses, and asked a question that she already had the answer to in her heart: "As long as we have these two kinds of stones, can the transaction continue?"

"Of course, we still deliver to your door, and old customers can also receive mysterious benefits."

"..." Pei Ming was silent again. Although he knew he should feel happy and surprised at this moment, he didn't know why he felt a little depressed.

Perhaps the surprise came at just the right time. A few minutes ago, he was still wondering if he could only hold on until this point, but then a turn for the better occurred.

Ning Zixiu stopped thinking about it and quickly flipped through the list in her hand before making the final decision: "The deal is done. I'll find someone to transport the stones up here!"

After Ning Zixiu and his men moved up several boxes of rhenium stones, Ye Mian counted the amount of rhenium crystals mixed in them while opening the shared warehouse. When he saw that it was almost full, he paused slightly and then smiled silently.

——While she was driving here, Xue Kai prepared a lot of things, including several new foods produced by the factory.

But actually, not that much is needed, as most of the materials here are rhenium stones, and there are less than twenty rhenium crystals, not to mention gold rhenium crystals.

Ning Zixiu knew that she was not particularly wealthy, so she only used a small portion of the rhenium to exchange for some cooked food and fruits, and most of the rest was exchanged for raw food.

After all, there are so many of them, and even one meal a day will consume a lot of food.

Seeing Ning Zixiu and her men moving the supplies to other places for another inventory and confirmation, Ye Mian didn't mind. He just looked at Pei Ming, who looked much more relaxed.

"Can you take me somewhere?"

Pei Ming also looked over: "Where?"

"A research institute affiliated with the Medical University."
