Chapter 15: The End Times
The headquarters also has special treaties for this type of people. As long as they do not lose their minds, they can live like normal people in the survivor base.
Xuanyunduo looked back at Qin Luo, and only put on the collar when she saw him nod. This thing has an electronic screen, and if you are a little aggressive, you will be shocked. The display screen is green when your emotions are stable, orange when there are some emotional fluctuations, and red means you are out of control.
Her electronic screen was showing green at the moment, indicating that everything was stable.
Professor Ji was very gentle. He gestured for Xuanyunduo to follow him for some physical examinations. In order to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable, he also asked two female researchers to accompany her.
Xuanyunduo frequently looked back at Qin Luo. Facing all the unfamiliar surroundings, she subconsciously wanted to find him. Fortunately, Professor Ji saw it and said, "Xiao Qin, come along too. It just so happens that you also need to monitor your superpowers."
Qin Luo said yes obediently and followed them.
Xuanyunduo felt inexplicably relieved. As soon as he stepped into the passage of the survivors' base, he heard the city's broadcast, which was currently playing a loop of the disaster situation in nearby cities and the number of rescued survivors.
What moved her most was the young lady with a broadcasting voice saying, "We will never compromise with doomsday, and we will never give up on any human being."
When Xuanyunduo heard this, he looked up at the radio and listened to the subsequent broadcast of the list of sacrifices of the rescue team. Each name represented a life. They did not have to die, but in order to rescue others, they rushed to the front line and died there.
There were more than a dozen people with rock-like bodies growing on them near the city wall. They were extremely strong, and part of the muscles in their upper bodies were covered with a layer of rock material.
"They are all rock mutants. Their mutant direction is rock. One of their skills is [Solidification]. They built our entire wall day and night. It looks very safe, doesn't it?"
Miss A, a researcher, said this, and she blinked at Xuanyunduo, "Don't worry too much, you are not aliens. As long as you have human consciousness, you are still you. We now have very complete protection measures for aliens, and most people will accept you."
Miss B, a researcher, also added: "The base will also arrange a suitable position for you. The base now uses chip cards, and the currency is points. There is not much difference between points and the previous currency."
It can still be used to consume various things. The survivor base in City H is not small, and many shops have been preserved, so life is very stable.
The way to obtain points is to exchange them for labor.
Combat teams can earn points by taking on various missions. The more difficult the mission, the higher the points. Other logistics personnel can also earn points through work. For example, the rock aliens who build city walls earn 80 points a day.
You should know that now you can have a full meal with just three points for a breakfast.
Therefore, their salaries are considered high.
Not to mention Xuanyunduo was confused, Qin Luo was also confused. He took a breath and said, "No, why is it different now? I have only been on the mission for less than ten days, right?"
Professor Ji sighed and said, "In the end times, rapid changes are normal. We all have to accept this rapid change and keep up with the pace."
Otherwise you will be eliminated.
Contemporary young people have accepted it well, but some older generations, who didn’t even know how to use electronic products in the beginning, can’t accept it and are devastated by the world now that has changed so dramatically.
Crazy and mad.
Xuanyunduo was speechless after hearing this. She looked at the scenery in the city along the way. Sometimes you ignore the huge city walls and the street scenes are indeed the same as before, but if you look closely, you will find some differences.
For example, occasionally strange-looking people would come by, but they all had collars around their necks.
Like the one around her neck.
The bus was still packed with people, but everyone was talking with weapons in their hands.
"There are new rules in the city. Anyone who goes out must be quarantined when they come back, and they are only allowed to walk on the street after changing clothes. Last time, a team was covered in blood and almost scared a carload of kindergarten children to death."
Researcher Sister A gave such a warm reminder, and then glanced at Qin Luo and Xuanyunduo, both of whom were covered in blood...
Awkward.
Professor Ji smiled and comforted them both, "It's okay, everyone is used to it on the edge of the city."
There are always people here who don't have time to clean themselves up.
Be careful if you go to the city center, as it's easy to be caught if you're covered in blood.
Xuanyunduo followed them through a special passage, which turned out to be a subway entrance, but one had to swipe a card to get in, and there were not many people on the subway.
Their direction was also H City Special Scientific Research Center. Once they got on it, it was no different from an ordinary subway, but the speed was frighteningly fast.
Xuanyunduo felt that she had just gone up there for less than a minute when the gentle scientific research lady told her that they had arrived. They had arrived? ? Twenty kilometers in less than a minute? ?
Her shocked expression was probably so funny that it made the two scientific research ladies laugh.
"You're pretty cute. I wonder what direction you've transformed into? I heard you're a zombie? But you're much cuter than an ordinary zombie, little cutie."
The one who spoke was Xiao Qiao.
This time, Xuanyunduo saw clearly the name on her work badge, which was Xiao Qiao.
I guess it's a code name.
Big sister Qiao was more steady. She kindly reminded, "Stay away from Little Qiao. She loves to dissect weird things."
Xuanyunduo shrank back in fear.
Qin Luo clicked his tongue and said, "Don't scare her. We agreed that she is a reserve member of our team."
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were very curious, "Huh? Really?" "Didn't your team never accept new members? What's going on this time?"
Professor Ji reminded them that the elevator had arrived, and the group stepped into the elevator again.
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were still mumbling.
"How can I join your team? Such a special mutant must stay in our research center to help out! What if he is killed in the battle?"
"That's right, Professor Ji, please talk to him. Please keep this child here."
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the expressions of these two people are surprisingly similar. Their faces are obviously different, but the expressions and tones they speak are exactly the same.
Professor Ji didn't argue with them and just laughed, "I can't make the decision on this."
Xuanyunduo turned around and looked at Qin Luo again. In fact, it was good to go out with him. At least she could stock up on things and stock up more at the beginning of the apocalypse.
She has always had a habit of hoarding things, and now that she has encountered this strange apocalypse, she wants to hoard things even more. No matter whether she can use them or not, she likes to hoard things, and the act of hoarding things can give her a sense of security.
However, what she feared most was that her space-related abilities would be discovered.
But Qin Luo didn't seem to be too worried. He was also looking around at the new environment. It can be seen that the changes in the end times are indeed earth-shaking.
He also needs to digest the new environment, new rules, and various knowledge points.
