Chapter 99 Mission Center
The lobby of the Chiayi City base mission center was bustling with people, with about fifty or sixty people moving around in various areas.
The walls were covered with whiteboards, densely covered with papers, and colorful magnetic stickers that looked like patches, dividing the space into different levels.
"Miss Lu, how many..." Ah He explained in a low voice, "The yellow magnet represents the simplest Level 1 task, the orange magnet is Level 2, and the red magnet is the most difficult task. Just peel off whichever one you like and register at the corresponding window."
After listening to Ahe's words, Lu Nange nodded slightly, and the group dispersed to check the task list.
The whiteboard was covered with all sorts of task sheets.
Most of the missions issued from the Chiayi City base are to find supplies.
Medicines, antibiotics, gasoline, ammunition, food... these kinds of words are everywhere.
There are also private commissions, which are more varied, such as finding relatives, lost items, lost pets, or retrieving something...
The base takes a 20% commission when privately posting tasks, but people still keep pinning their hopes on these faded whiteboards.
Lu Nange checked the task lists for different areas.
Maintaining just the right distance—so as not to interfere with each other, yet to provide immediate support in case of emergencies.
Several shifty-eyed men lurked through the crowd.
They knew the faces in the base like the back of their hand, but Lu Nange's unfamiliar yet exquisite face was clearly not on that list.
Despite the patrol team being nearby, they still exchanged a few lewd glances.
Using the crowd as cover, they pretended to push and shove, and then moved to surround Lu Nange, who was leading Lu Beiye.
"Excuse me, excuse me—" The yellow-toothed man in the lead deliberately stumbled, and his accomplices immediately began to shove him.
Five or six dirty hands reached out at the same time, heading straight for Lu Nange. Some went for her waist, some aimed for her chest, and some even tried to touch her inner thighs.
Just as their smiles were about to stretch to their ears—
"Trash, trash, disgusting!" The macaw swooped down, its sharp beak aimed straight for the eyeball.
Lu Beiye flicked his wrist, sending the throwing knives piercing the wrists.
Lu Nange slowly lowered her foot, which she had just raised, because...
Gu Wan, who had run over, kicked the leader hard in the crotch with her boots.
Wen Qing's shoes followed closely behind.
Luo Xingyou even delivered a beautiful roundhouse kick—three perfectly coordinated kicks that could sever a child's genitals, and screams of agony immediately echoed throughout the hall.
The three of them didn't spare any of the men...
The men curled up like shrimp, unsure whether to protect their bleeding wrists or their numb groins first.
Gangzi made a beautiful dive, and his white excrement splattered onto the faces of several people.
Holding a golden baseball bat, Lu Beiye's dull thud, accompanied by the cracking sound of bones breaking, caused the onlookers to instinctively shrink back.
Lu Xici, Chi Yanzhou, He Zhuo, Gu Qi... silently withdrew the steps they had already taken.
The two stood beside Lu Nange.
Whispers arose from the surrounding crowd of onlookers:
[Serves them right! Those bastards finally messed with me!] A weathered old woman spat fiercely.
[I've been fed up with them for a long time. A bunch of hooligans, taking advantage of their special abilities to bully and bully young girls every day.]
[I've never seen these people before. Could they be big shots from the Red Label District?] Someone whispered, their fingers nervously rubbing the hem of their clothes.
[Anyway, they're people we can't afford to mess with. Look at their clean clothes, and even a kid like them is so strong.]
[That kid has a metal-based superpower; one hit with a stick and he can dent a steel plate!]
[These girls are pretty amazing too; that one also has a metal-based superpower.]
[What's with that swearing little parrot? It's even better at swearing than I am! It's quite amusing!]
[Could it be a mutant animal?]
[I don't understand what you're talking about. If it were a mutated animal, we would have swallowed it long ago. It's probably something these young masters and ladies kept before the apocalypse!]
......
Gangzi proudly shook its magnificent wings.
It glanced furtively at Lu Nange and swallowed back the curse that was about to escape its lips—the beauty had said that one should act obediently in public and not transform at will. One could only use superpowers with her permission, otherwise she would cut off snacks and even remove wings!
When the patrol officers arrived at the scene, they found several inhuman-looking "things" curled up on the ground—some were vomiting blood, some were spitting out their teeth, and the worst one was vomiting blood mixed with bird droppings.
"What happened? The mission center forbids fighting..." The patrolman's words were cut short.
Ahe pushed through the crowd, her voice urgent: "Captain Liu, Captain Liu, these ignorant fools have offended our distinguished guests! Mr. Lu, Mr. Chi's bracelet!"
She pointed to the bracelets on Lu Xici and Chi Yanzhou's wrists: "Captain, look!"
Upon seeing the two men's orange wristbands, the patrol captain immediately bowed deeply, saying, "I'm so sorry! We'll deal with this trash right away!"
With a gesture from him, several team members immediately dragged up the screaming bodies like dead pigs in a slaughterhouse.
Dark red streaks of blood were left on the ground.
As soon as the patrol captain's figure disappeared around the corner, the surrounding crowd retreated like a tide, leaving a clear vacuum around Lu Nange and her group.
Ah-He lowered her voice and explained, "At the Chiayi City base, even Level 2 ability users can obtain residency in the Red Zone; they're all big shots you can't afford to offend..."
Lu Nange and the others exchanged glances without making a sound, and casually tore off a few resource search task sheets.
The clerk at the registration office quickly stamped the documents for the group.
After receiving the stamped papers, Lu Nange and the others left the office.
"Are you all heading out on a mission now? Shall I escort you to the main gate?"
Lu Nange gave a soft "Mmm" and said, "Thank you!"
Chi Yanzhou glanced at Gu Qi, who buried his face in his backpack, pretending to look for something, but actually holding the walkie-talkie, and notifying Chi Yi and Ji Xian to drive to the main gate to meet.
While passing through a crowded area of tents.
Ahe explained, "This is... a place where ordinary people live."
When we arrived at the gate, the SUV and RV were already parked there.
After getting into the car, Ahe turned around and went back to the base.
Chi Yanzhou handed the task to the guard, completed the registration, and the two vehicles were allowed to pass.
The vehicle had traveled less than 500 meters when Lu Nange, holding the walkie-talkie, said, "We're being followed. Turn right ahead."
The steering wheel was suddenly turned to the right, and the SUV drifted into the side road.
"Turn left."
Walk straight for 300 meters.
"Go into the alley."
"Stop the car! Everyone, get out!"
The car door was pushed open almost simultaneously.
Lu Nange tucked his five fingers together, and the two cars were put into his spatial storage, leaving only a few wisps of exhaust fumes drifting in the alley.
"Brother Zhuo, cover up the tire tracks."
He Zhuo placed his palm on the ground.
As earth-based powers surged, the road surface was smoothed out as if by an invisible hand, and the tire treads disappeared.
"Let's go." Lu Nange blew a gentle wind blade towards the neat road surface.
The group slipped into the abandoned building on the side.
