While feeling terrified afterward, Yue Wu was even more eager to know who that man was and why he apologized.
When Yue Wu turned his head, he found that Octopus was lying on his pillow, looking bored.
Suddenly she felt a little guilty for leaving the little guy in an unfamiliar place and not taking care of him, so she had to come back on her own in the end.
Yuewu reached out and tapped Octopus's little head, saying sincerely, "I'm sorry, Octopus, I will never leave you outside for so long again."
When Octopus saw Yuewu apologizing to him so sincerely, all his resentment vanished.
Even though his little feet still hurt a lot, it didn't matter anymore.
Octopus immediately began to recount the information it had gathered.
Many of the leaders at the meeting were Level 2 superhumans, and there were also seven or eight half superhumans.
Previously, whenever the base discovered mutated zombies, they would send troops to deal with them, and in the end, all the crystal cores would be handed over, ostensibly for research. In reality, these people secretly absorbed them. Long ago, some people knew the correct way to use the crystal cores, which is why they were able to level up so quickly.
Octopus followed Colonel Zhu, the highest-ranking officer among them, and unexpectedly discovered the basement of the office building, where the original base leadership was imprisoned. However, they were now being used as test subjects. There were also many ordinary zombies and mutated zombie specimens and live experiments there, as well as mutated plants and animals.
Previously, no one in City C had paid attention to the crystal core. It was only by chance that they discovered it while dissecting zombie corpses. Researchers then began to analyze it using machines, and a doctor concluded that the crystal core could enhance superpowers.
Then, the leadership keeps some of the crystal cores for their own use, while the other crystal cores, after absorbing about three-quarters of their energy, can be transplanted into the human body to become a semi-superhuman.
For those who yearn for superpowers, becoming a semi-superhuman is an honor. And these leaders can use this to control the upgrading of their superpowers, thereby controlling people's hearts and minds.
After listening to Octopus's story, Yue Wu felt that the leadership of City C really had great ambitions.
Considering the semi-superpowered individuals in City B, it's clear that City C has already planted many spies in other cities, which is the most alarming aspect.
Doesn't anyone in the central government notice this? Or is the central government also controlled by these people, which allows them to act so arrogantly?
Le Wu stopped thinking about the rest. Her priority now was to build a large base that could rival Chaoyang Base. Otherwise, nothing else mattered. Of course, she wouldn't be foolish enough to confront them head-on.
As for her fainting, Lu Zhiyang got his revenge. Not long after, someone reported that a female corpse was found at the construction site of a new residential building. The corpse was identified as Lu Zhiyang's sister.
Yue Wu was still feeling very upset. If she had been a little faster last night, she might have been able to save the girl, or at least retrieve and settle the body immediately. But her strength was still too weak.
This forces Yuewu to prioritize improving her abilities. She is still a level two ability user, and because she hasn't been able to properly search for mutated zombies these past few days, she doesn't plan to use the leopard's crystal core she obtained yesterday.
So Yuewu brought Octopus to the space, took the leopard's crystal core, and handed it to Xiaoyi. "Baby, you can use this crystal core. I've tested plant and animal crystal cores, and they don't help much with my ability enhancement. I still need the crystal cores of mutated zombies. So, from now on, all the mutated plant and animal crystal cores are for you to use."
Xiao Yi's eyes lit up. She hadn't expected her mother to make such a decision, but she was genuinely happy.
As for Octopus and the others, there's no need to worry at all, because the apocalypse treats plants and animals better, they don't need crystal cores, and their superpowers are constantly upgrading. They're already at level three, which further proves that this apocalypse is a conspiracy against humanity.
After that, Yuewu stopped thinking about it. Anyway, it was already like this, and there was nothing that could be changed. All she could do was grow quickly, as she had many other things to do.
Seeing that it was almost ten o'clock, Yuewu took out a lot of snacks and ate them as a late-night snack and octopus. After a while, Susu also ran over.
Now, as their superpowers have upgraded, they have also begun to try other foods. After discovering that human food is not bad, they have slowly started to compete with the octopuses for food, creating quite a lively scene.
Having replenished her energy, Le Wu went to sleep contentedly.
The next day, Yuewu set off for the Oasis Safe Base.
Upon arrival, both bases had many young and strong men waiting at the entrance, ready to go to other bases together, which could be considered as supporting Yuewu.
And so, a dozen or so vehicles set off, kicking up a cloud of dust along the way.
Le Wu didn't participate in the initial two bases because they were acquaintances of Liu Xingzhou and Zhao Xinkui. So, they did all the talking, while Le Wu just sat on the side and watched.
Actually, these people had been to the large base before, but it was strictly controlled, with a clear hierarchy, and 70% of the collected supplies had to be handed over, which was completely unacceptable to them.
That's why they went out on their own; other small bases are in similar situations.
Liu Xingzhou and Zhao Xinkui didn't spend much time persuading them. Their final principle was that as long as they had food, drink, and a secure livelihood, they would be willing to follow.
When they arrived at the third base, the people there reacted strongly; they didn't believe such a good thing could happen.
Moreover, Meng Chuan was used to being the boss and didn't want to be a subordinate anymore. Their base was now well-managed and didn't need anyone else to interfere.
Meng Chuan had an extraordinary presence. Yue Wu learned after inquiring that he had previously served as a cadre, had seen the world, and possessed excellent management skills.
Despite Liu Xingzhou and Zhao Xinkui's earnest attempts to persuade him, Meng Chuan remained unmoved.
While chatting with others, Yue Wu noticed a detail: Meng Chuan was a very filial son.
His mother is 78 years old and suffers from stomach ulcers, which often cause stomach bleeding. Since current medical conditions do not allow for it, the old lady is just enduring it.
Their base has always been very attentive to pharmacies, but the elderly are getting old, and taking too much medicine is not good for them, so they are powerless to help now. Every time he has a stomach hemorrhage, Meng Chuan is so anxious that he can't sleep for several days.
Yue Wu seized on this point and said to Meng Chuan, "I can help alleviate your mother's pain."
As she spoke, she pulled out a dagger and made a cut on her finger. The moment blood came out, music and dance catalyzed healing water droplets to drip onto the wound. The small cut healed quickly, and after a few breaths, there was no trace left.
Meng Chuan immediately stood up, his eyes filled with piety as he looked at the music and dance.
The other members in the base were also amazed and envious of Yuewu's healing abilities.
Meng Chuan didn't believe that this treatment water droplet could cure all illnesses, but as long as it alleviated his elderly mother's condition and reduced her suffering, he was willing to try. That was what mattered most to him.
So it was quite natural that they eventually took over the base. Yuewu also kept her promise and gave Mengchuan a bottle of healing water droplets. She also put him in charge of finding a new base location so that everyone could move there together.
