Chapter 260 Lin City Base (3rd update)
The driver leaned out of the car window and looked at them warily, holding a gun in his hand. If the other party suddenly attacked, he could fight back at any time! He asked, "Are you from other places?"
Bai Ye had already learned about Li Qingyun from Fang Yuxin, so he stopped the car, stuck his head out and said to the other party: "We want to go to your safe base to find someone. I wonder what the rules are here?"
The driver and his companion looked at each other, then said to Bai Ye: "To enter the base, everyone must pay a primary crystal core. If you are a psychic or have some special skills, the crystal core can be waived. In addition, everyone who enters must have a blood test. We are preparing to return to the base. If you have no problem, follow behind."
Bai Ye thought that other people might not have crystal cores, so he asked helpfully: "If you can't hand over the crystal core, can you keep a record of it?"
The driver was a little stunned when he said this. It stands to reason that those who can pass through the zombie encirclement are powerful. How could these people come here without taking out the crystal core? He became suspicious. However, he did not ask this question, but only said: "It's okay to keep accounts, but you have to work to pay off your debts."
In fact, the management of the safe zone where they were located was quite strict, or even very harsh. Ordinary people who could not produce crystal cores could only become the lowest-level laborers, working day and night, and not having enough to eat every day.
But if you have the ability, you can live well in the safe zone.
So he didn't tell Bai Ye this. He had already noticed that, except for the car driven by Bai Ye, the other cars had become tattered and it was obvious that the people inside them did not have much strength.
He then understood what Bai Ye meant, and also knew that the people behind him were not on the same path as Bai Ye.
The road behind was relatively safe, because this was already the outskirts of the safe base, and people came out every day to hunt zombies, so there were not many zombies. They only encountered dozens of lone zombies along the way, and the people in the truck dealt with them directly before Bai Ye could take action.
These zombies are not very strong. To the people in the truck, they are just delivering crystal cores. Naturally, they are unwilling to give the benefits to Bai Ye and others.
Soon, they saw the outline of the safe zone. The first thing they saw was a ten-meter-high protective wall. The wall was not that high at first, but after the zombie siege, the leader of the base required people to reinforce the protective wall every day, which gradually made it the current size.
Outside the protective wall, many defensive fortifications were built to prevent zombies from attacking the city.
They walked all the way to the gate, the truck went in first, and Bai Ye and the others followed behind. After entering, they found that there was a row of rooms on the right side of the road. The first room was used to fill in information, the second was for testing, and the back was an isolation room, mainly used to isolate those infected with the zombie virus.
Fang Yuxin released his spiritual sense to check and found that there were people locked up in the isolation room. Their limbs were fixed to the wall and there were gags in their mouths to prevent them from suddenly turning into zombies and hurting other people.
Although these people looked quite pitiful, the people above at least gave them a chance to awaken instead of killing them directly, which was considered quite merciful.
There was a temporary parking lot on the left side of the road. After Bai Ye and his friends entered, they parked the car nearby according to the other party's instructions, and then they had to fill out information and take a blood test.
Fang Yuxin had already peeked at it just now. The so-called blood test is to squeeze out blood and drop it onto a special test paper. If the test paper turns black, it means that the person is infected with the zombie virus. If there is no change, it means that he is not infected yet.
Fang Yuxin thought this method was quite novel, and couldn't help but wonder who invented it.
For safety reasons, the window is installed with iron bars and tempered glass, similar to the arrangement of a bank window. A small semicircular window is opened under the iron bars and tempered glass for delivering documents.
The other party first glanced at them, and seeing that they looked unfamiliar, he said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "New here? Fill in your identity information first." After he finished speaking, he put a form into the small window. Bai Ye took out the form and quickly filled it out with a pen beside him.
The information that needs to be filled in on the form is probably name, gender, age, previous residence, whether or not the person is a psychic, the type and level of the psychic ability, and specialties, etc.
Bai Ye used a pseudonym, and concealed the type and level of his ability, writing it as level 1 in the gold system. He used the breath-retaining technique to restrain the energy fluctuations on his body, disguising himself as a level 1 psychic, so he wasn't afraid that others would see through him.
He had just checked and found that there were a total of 45 people in the truck. Except for one person who was a Level 2 Psychic, the others were all Level 1 Psychics. These people dared to stay out so late, which showed that they were quite confident in their own abilities. This meant that in this safe base, Level 1 Psychics were already considered quite strong, and Level 2 Psychics were probably still a minority.
If he filled in a second-level superpower, it would definitely attract the attention of various forces in the base, and it would definitely cause a lot of trouble. He and Fang Yuxin were just here to look for someone, so there was no need to get too involved with other people in this safe base.
Fang Yuxin, like him, also concealed her strength and disguised herself as a first-level psychic. Moreover, she deliberately wrote her ability as fire-related, instead of wood-related as she had always claimed.
Wood-type psychics are very special because they have the ability to heal and promote plant growth. Even if they are elementary or even first-level psychics, they will attract the attention of various forces once they appear. Fang Yuxin didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he simply pretended to be a fire-type psychic.
After the two of them finished filling out the form, the others followed suit and filled in the information. Liu Zhenglin and Zhao Yan had just awakened, and their aptitude was not good, so the energy fluctuations on their bodies were very weak and could not be easily detected. So they hesitated for a moment and chose no.
They had no plan to stay in this safe base, but wanted to follow Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye, so there was naturally no need to expose the fact of their awakening.
When other people were filling out the information, they were shocked and confused when they saw that they chose "no", but they did not dare to expose them directly. They just had their own thoughts in their minds.
After filling in the information, the form was taken back by the clerk inside. Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin's guess was correct. After seeing the information registered on it, although he became a little kinder to the two of them, he did not show much concern.
Obviously, although a first-level psychic has some strength, it is not strong enough to be taken seriously.
But when he saw that the other people were ordinary people, his attitude towards them became cold, which was completely different from when he was facing Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin.
After registering the information, you have to pay for the crystal core. Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin naturally have no shortage of primary crystal cores, but it's difficult for others. Zhao Yan and Liu Zhenglin have killed zombies on the road and can take out crystal cores. The grandfather and grandson surnamed Qian can also take out crystal cores, but the rest of the people can't. They watched the clerk's face become more and more ugly, and could only look at Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin for help.
The two were indifferent and had no intention of helping. The primary crystal core was dug out from the brain of the primary zombie, and the primary zombie was not strong, and ordinary people could kill it. For example, Qian Lang and Zhao Liang. Since Qian Lang found a way to kill zombies, he would kill them whenever he had the chance. Zhao Liang was Zhao Yan's nephew. Although he was spoiled, seeing Zhao Yan killing zombies at such an old age, he also suppressed his fear and followed to help, and killed some together with Zhao Yan.
The others were still relatively young, in their twenties or thirties, in the prime of life, but they dared not take action and hid aside when zombies appeared. How could Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin help such people?
It was Liu Zhenglin and Zhao Yan who came together and helped them hand over the crystal core.
The clerk looked unhappy at first when he saw that they couldn't produce the crystal core. But when he saw what Zhao Yan and Liu Zhenglin did, he looked at them a few more times. Then, he noticed the weak energy fluctuations from the two.
His expression suddenly changed, and he asked, "Liu Zhenglin, Zhao Yan, since you are superpowers, why are you hiding it?"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhenglin and Zhao Yan's faces changed slightly. Even though the two tried their best to restrain themselves, they were still seen by the clerk. The clerk was given such a reception job, which meant he was a smart person, and he was also a first-level superpower user. He didn't notice it at first because the energy fluctuations of the two were too weak, so he ignored it.
But later, when he saw the two of them take out the crystal core, he felt something was wrong. After all, he had seen those ordinary people in the safe zone. Those who could kill zombies looked stronger and had a heroic aura. The others who couldn't kill zombies looked weak and fragile, and their temperaments were different.
Zhao Yan and Liu Zhenglin, one older and the other gentle, didn't look like ordinary people who could kill zombies. So he looked more carefully and found the energy fluctuations on them.
He was naturally furious at the two's concealment. However, thinking that they were after all superpowered people, he continued, "It is for your own good that I asked you to fill in the information truthfully. Whether you are superpowered or not determines the treatment you can enjoy in the base. I will not hide it from you. In the base, superpowered people and ordinary people are treated differently."
His words made Zhao Yan and Liu Zhenglin seem a little ignorant of the current situation. The two looked at each other, and Liu Zhenglin stepped forward to explain; "We have just awakened, and we don't have any ability at all. We can't kill a few zombies. We are worried that the superpowers will go out to hunt zombies, so..."
His voice became lower and lower, and his head was slightly buried, playing the role of a cowardly and incompetent psychic.
Zhao Yan also pretended to be extremely embarrassed, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes, we really can't kill a few zombies, so we just want to find a base to live a stable life. You...just let us be ordinary people, we don't want those treatments." After saying that, he waved his hand.
Seeing how unmotivated they were, the clerk's face became even uglier.
The content has been updated. Also, there has been thunder outside. Fortunately, the computer is still strong.
