Chapter 212 You Are Not Good-looking
The man laughed, "As expected of Lin Xi, very smart."
He smiled and said, "The world has changed. Only people with ability can occupy high positions."
"Xu Han is just an ordinary person. Why does he command us?"
"I'm the boss of the base now. Do you see those guns outside?"
"Even if you have superpowers, you will still die if you are shot."
Lin Xi felt amused. She was S-level, and Director Wang was also S-level. When one reached S-level or above, their bodies evolved and they were no longer afraid of bullets.
Even ordinary artillery shells can't hurt them.
She said with a smile: "Then what are you going to do with us?"
The man laughed, "You're still young enough to ask such a question."
He looked at Lin Xi with even greater interest, his smile mingled with other meanings. "Don't worry, as long as you follow me wholeheartedly, I won't do anything to your father."
He stared at Lin Xi's face. "In such a chaotic world, only a strong man like me can survive. What do you think?"
Lin Xi laughed, "But you're not good-looking, and I don't like you. What should I do?"
The man's expression changed. "Little girl, don't just look at a face. A man's ability is what matters most."
Lin Xi laughed even louder, "But, I don't think you're capable either."
Then an extremely strong wind blade flew towards the man's neck.
Lin Xi had a smile on her face, and a very strong wind blade in her hand flew towards the man's neck.
These changes happened in a flash.
The man was completely defenseless, but when he saw Lin Xi move and heard the sound of breaking air, he sensed the danger and suddenly his whole body was engulfed in blue flames, wrapping himself in it.
The man was an A-level master, and this layer of blue flame was his defense. He had tried before, and even bullets couldn't penetrate his defense.
At the same time the man yelled, "Shoot!"
As the gunshot rang out, the wind blade flew out and hit the blue flame, seeming to be blocked for a moment, but only for a moment, and then it shot in with a "puff" sound.
The man only felt a chill on his neck, and the flames on his body suddenly disappeared.
He felt as if the whole world suddenly slowed down. He could clearly see people at the window and the door shooting at the two people, and bullet shells kept flying out.
The gunshots in my ears became distant.
But the two people in front of him still stood straight. When the bullets reached them, it was as if there was some barrier and they could not move forward at all.
The man opened his mouth and was about to say something, but his head tilted and fell off his neck.
Those people holding guns at the door and outside the window were stunned.
Someone suddenly said, "Is Wu Ming dead?"
Someone replied, "How can you not die if your head is already cut off?"
"Wu Ming died despite having such a powerful ability?"
"These two are not afraid of bullets!"
"They are even more powerful than Wu Ming!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
The people outside the window scattered.
Lin Xi and Director Wang watched those people run away and did not chase them.
Lin Xi suddenly pulled Zhou Ying out.
Zhou Ying was still confused. Lin Xi pointed at Wu Ming's head on the ground and said, "Dig out the crystal core."
She doesn't like doing this kind of dirty work.
It’s not easy to let the leaders do it either.
Zhou Ying didn't ask any more questions. He condensed a golden knife. The knife was extremely sharp and quickly cut open the head on the ground, digging out a red crystal core.
Lin Xi looked at the white stuff on it with disdain and said, "Wipe it off."
Zhou Ying wiped it on Wu Ming's clothes, raised the crystal core and took a look. "Not bad, it's quite big. It must be at least A-level. I didn't expect there is an A-level expert here."
Lin Xi looked at Director Wang and pointed at the crystal core in Zhou Ying's hand, "I'll keep this with you."
She didn't plan to absorb the crystal core. Having too many and too diverse superpowers might not be a good thing, and it would be more difficult to improve them.
Director Wang put the crystal core away and said, "I think this kind of thing can be used as a reward for everyone in the future. What do you think?"
Lin Xi nodded, "Okay."
Director Wang suddenly slapped his head and said, "Let's go find Xu Han."
"Maybe he's still alive."
"He's a pretty good guy. If he's still alive, he can restrain those people at the base and make it easier for us to get into the shelter."
"He also promised to give me a room in there."
Lin Xi thought for a moment and said, "We can go and save Xu Han."
"But don't expect him to restrain anyone."
"Also, you saw what happened just now. Dozens of guns were pointed at us. Although we are not afraid, there is no need to conflict with them."
"I think, at this time, we still have to rely on ourselves."
Director Wang thought for a while and said, "What you said makes sense."
"But I remember there's an armory here—"
The two said in unison: "Go get some weapons."
After saying that, both of them laughed.
Lin Xi whispered, "And the crystal you gave me that day, do you know where you dug it out?"
Director Wang lowered his voice and said, "I know there's a mine about ten miles away from the base, but there aren't many of these crystals."
"At first, they found the crystals and didn't know what they were for, so they asked me about them. I took the opportunity to get a few pieces."
Lin Xi raised an eyebrow and said, "Let's go, let's get some weapons first, and then go get some crystals."
Zhou Ying came over and said, "I want to go. I don't want to go into the space. I like to play with you guys."
Lin Xi smiled at him and said, "Okay, let's go together."
Director Wang held out his hand to stop them, "Let me look for Xu Han first."
He released his spiritual sense and searched the base, but couldn't find Xu Han. He sighed, "He must have been killed by Wu Ming."
"Forget it, alas, we have avenged him."
Lin Xi's spiritual sense was also searching, she was looking for the weapons depot.
After searching around, I found a few empty basements with some scattered bullets and a few grenades on the ground.
She looked at Director Wang and said, "The weapons depot here is empty. It's very likely that they have all been moved to the shelter."
"Forget it, we'll get it when we have a chance. We have plenty of weapons."
Director Wang thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go to the crystal mine first."
"Pull out the guns, or some blind people might point guns at us and force us to kill someone."
Lin Xi casually took out a submachine gun.
Zhou Ying took out a pistol, looked at Lin Xi, and felt that hers was more stylish. He couldn't help but mutter, "My spear is in the space."
Director Wang shook his head. "Alright, it's just a deterrent."
"Let's go."
The group did meet some people on the road. Judging from their attire, they should be from the base.
Most of them were holding guns, and when they saw that Lin Xi and the others also had weapons, they tactfully did not disturb them and left cautiously.
After walking for nearly an hour, Lin Xi used his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings as he walked, and finally found the mine that Director Wang mentioned.
