Chapter 96 Sneaking in
"Oh?" Ye Jin asked with interest, "Is that so?"
"Of course, the furnishings and decoration inside the villa are no worse than before the apocalypse, and..." The fat man lowered his voice: "The villa area where the base's permanent residents live contains most of our base's nuclear crystals. I also heard from Sun Shang that there seems to be a lot of munitions as well."
Ye Jin pretended to be exaggerated and said, "So, according to you, this villa area is almost becoming the treasury of the West City Base?"
"Who says it's not?" The fat man shook his head. "You still want to rent a house there? Forget it. That's the base commander's private land."
"I understand what you're saying, but the villa complex is so big, so why aren't there other people living here?" Ye Jin said, "I remember the guard team was recruiting people before. Since the villa complex is so big, do the guards also live there?"
"You're overthinking it. A guard is just a gatekeeper for the base commander. How can he have a place to live?"
"Is that so? The treatment isn't that great, I saw they were recruiting and it sounded pretty good. If I weren't a woman, I would have applied and wouldn't have ended up in our second team."
Seeing that Fatty didn't respond, Ye Jin continued, "Hey, Fatty, your second-level wind ability is already a high-level one in the West City base. Many people are only at the first level. Why don't you give it a try? Even though you're just a gatekeeper, you're still an official after all. It's an easy job."
The fat man immediately shook his head and lowered his voice and said, "Sister, please don't say that. You are new to the base and don't know that this guard is not a good place."
"What do you mean?" Ye Jin said as if he remembered something: "Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot. There was a person who entered the base with me before. He went to the Guards and he seemed to have disappeared in the past few days. So it seems that it's a good thing you didn't go."
The fat man didn't respond again.
Seeing this, Ye Jin realized that this Fatty wasn't so easy to talk to when it came to matters of the heart. She continued, "Fatty, do you know something? Don't be so stingy. We're so familiar with each other. The kick I gave you last time was a bond of friendship, right?"
"Ah! Auntie, to be honest with you, I don't know what's going on there. But, I've been here for a long time, and they recruit a group of guards with special abilities almost every month, and often people disappear after a while."
"Why are you talking so weird?"
The fat man said, "Don't disbelieve me. I've noticed people disappearing more and more frequently lately. The official response to the Guards recruitment event they mentioned a few days ago was that something went wrong while they were out at the base for a mission selection, and everyone died."
"Tsk tsk tsk." The fat man shook his head and said, "Who knew this by accident? So many people with special abilities have died, who would believe it?"
He glanced at Ye Jin and said, "No matter what, we know what's going on. Just don't go there."
Ye Jin nodded and had other guesses in his mind. It seemed that someone had gone missing before, but it could be covered up. Now that so many people with special abilities had died, it couldn't be covered up anymore, so he might as well pretend to be stupid.
What were these people with special abilities used for? Could it be that the base commander surnamed Liu was practicing some kind of evil technique?
In the previous life, there were rumors that the flesh and blood of people with special abilities could advance zombies, which could also allow people with special abilities to advance. For a long time afterwards, human people with special abilities would kill each other.
But the facts proved that it was all nonsense. Those who had eaten the flesh and blood of the psychics did not really advance.
The higher the level of supernatural power, the harder it is to advance. Many people have limited talents, and some may be stuck at the fourth level and unable to advance to any higher level in their entire lives.
Could it be that this base commander surnamed Liu is so desperate to advance that he's gone mad? Has he become possessed? Is he using other psychics as a stepping stone?
But that wouldn't take that much, right? And what puzzled Ye Jin the most when he came to the West City base was how could a base with so many people have so few second-level psychics?
…
Ye Jin couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to sneak in to see what was inside the villa. She had previously observed the shift change times of the guards outside.
At night, Ye Jin put on a mask and a black sportswear and found a hidden location in the back corner where the defense of the villa area was the weakest.
Taking advantage of the two minutes of guard change in the early morning, he quickly climbed in.
This villa area is quite large. Ye Jin didn't know the way, so he could only go into each house one by one. He found a few places, but they were all empty. They were really full of supplies, just as the fat man said.
The big house with lights on in front must be the residence of the base commander, but there are guards outside.
Such a big place, with such safe defenses, is actually used to store supplies?
Ye Jin didn't want to return empty-handed this time. The base commander was a fire-type psychic, and her mental power was now equivalent to a fourth-order psychic power, so she shouldn't be easily discovered.
She found a villa closest to the big house, hid inside, released her mental power, and probed inside.
As soon as I saw the situation inside, I wanted to retract my attention, but when I heard the people inside talking, I held back.
"Shilin, am I awesome?" Liu Bao worked hard on the woman, his eyes filled with obscene obsession. "I'll spend some time with you while I'm busy, okay?"
Zhao Shilin still had a stern face with delicate features, prominent butterfly bones, and a slender neck, but her beautiful face had no expression and no emotion could be seen, just like a dead fish.
"What? You're unhappy again!" Liu Bao stopped what he was doing, got up from the woman, lit a cigarette, and took a few puffs: "Didn't you just go out a few days ago? Didn't you buy what you wanted?"
The woman still didn't respond.
A few seconds later, the room was filled with smoke. Liu Bao waited for a while and then said, "Don't want to pay attention to me?"
Zhao Shilin turned her back and ignored Liu Bao. She closed her eyes and said coldly, "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep!"
Liu Bao was annoyed by her attitude and pulled her over, turning her face over and holding her: "Don't you think that just because I like you, you can push your luck!"
He touched the woman's face with his hands, his eyes full of obsession and madness. He was a die-hard fan of Zhao Shilin before the end of the world, but he was so poor that he couldn't even afford a ticket to her concert.
If it weren't for the end of the world, he couldn't believe that he would have the chance to sleep with a goddess one day. But with his current status, he didn't know how many women were lining up in the base waiting for him to sleep with them and for him to choose from.
It was a blessing that he could be so nice to Zhao Shilin. Not only did she not try to please him, but she even dared to look at him sternly.
