Chapter 289 Hearing the News (Second Update)
Fang Yuxin was surprised when she heard Bai Ye's voice transmission, and then she understood what he meant. She frowned slightly, but couldn't think of a good way. A person's temperament is naturally reflected, how to hide it? Moreover, why should she hide it? Just because of the possible malice of some people, she has to hide everything?
Appearance is given by parents, but temperament is cultivated over the years. Fang Yuxin thought about it and quietly cast a small spell to restrain the ethereal temperament on her body. Although her facial features did not change much, her skin became more ordinary.
As a result, the ethereal and fairy-like aura she had previously given people disappeared instantly, and she looked like a beautiful normal person. She was beautiful, but still a mortal.
When Bai Ye was transmitting the message, he had already calmly used his body to block other people's sight, so he was the first to notice when Fang Yuxin cast the spell.
The feeling was wonderful, just like a fairy suddenly turned into a mortal. Bai Ye looked at Fang Yuxin, and although he still felt that she was too beautiful, he did not go any further and asked her to dress up in an ugly way.
He could probably guess what Fang Yuxin was thinking, and at the same time, he didn't want to let Fang Yuxin down. Fortunately, although her appearance hadn't changed, her temperament had changed a lot, and she wouldn't stand out like before, so he was a little relieved.
But at this moment, he heard Fang Yuxin's voice transmission: "Bai Ye, you should also restrain your aura. It's too easy for people to see the problem."
Although they concealed the energy fluctuations on their bodies, Bai Ye's swordsmanship, even if he did not deliberately release his aura, the aura he exuded naturally had a sharp and compelling feeling, like a sword unsheathed, not concealing its edge at all.
However, Fang Yuxin deliberately reminded him like this not only because she was worried that Bai Ye would be discovered to have problems. She saw all those women looking at Bai Ye with obsessed eyes just now!
Although she didn't want to cause trouble to those people for this reason, she was still unhappy! Bai Ye was her boyfriend now, how could she let these people take advantage of her for nothing!
Bai Ye hadn't realized that Fang Yuxin was as jealous as he was. After he subconsciously restrained his aura, he suddenly saw Fang Yuxin pursing his lips slightly and squinting at the women not far away, looking dissatisfied.
He was stunned for a moment, and had a vague guess in his mind, but he was not sure. He deliberately followed Fang Yuxin's gaze and looked at the women, and asked her in a voice transmission: "Xinxin, what are you looking at? Is there anything wrong with them?"
Fang Yuxin was feeling uncomfortable, and when she saw Bai Ye staring at those women, she immediately became jealous. She pulled Bai Ye hard and said viciously, "Don't look at them!"
Bai Ye finally confirmed his guess, and his heart was as sweet as honey. Although Fang Yuxin agreed to his pursuit and agreed to be his girlfriend, he was still a little worried that she didn't really like him. Now that he saw that she was jealous of him, Bai Ye's worries in the depths of his heart disappeared, and his eyes looking at Fang Yuxin became more and more gentle.
Then, he suddenly thought of something, deliberately grabbed Fang Yuxin's hand, then turned his head and gave a warning look to the men who were looking at Fang Yuxin infatuatedly, declaring his ownership.
Fang Yuxin didn't like having intimate actions with Bai Ye in public, but when she looked at Bai Ye's handsome face, she thought he was quite attractive, so she didn't reject Bai Ye. Instead, she deliberately glanced at those women to let them know that Bai Ye belonged to her, Fang Yuxin, and no one could snatch him from her!
Although the team members noticed that the two had changed their temperament, they did not doubt it. They were weak and had limited knowledge, so they could not have imagined that the two had deliberately concealed their temperament and made themselves indistinguishable from the crowd. They just thought that the two looked different just now because they were fighting, and they were too nervous at the time, so they saw it wrongly.
Although Qian Lang and others knew that the two must have done something, they were not fools and naturally would not tell others such an important thing. They just kept it in their hearts and felt that Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin were really unfathomable!
Those people didn't dare to take the crystal cores that were dug out. Although they also killed zombies, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye saved their lives, and these crystal cores were considered a reward.
Fang Yuxin did not accept their "reward", which was just a few dozen crystal cores, and she did not care about it. After distributing the crystal cores they deserved to them, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye asked these people about the situation in Bei City.
Although Bai Ye is from Bei City, he hasn't been back for a long time. He has no idea what the current situation in Bei City is. Now that he happened to meet someone, it would be good to get some information before entering the safe base.
These people thought they had just arrived in Bei City. This kind of thing had happened before, but it was rare. Moreover, almost all the teams that could arrive here were relatively large. There had never been a small team like Bai Ye's.
The one who spoke was the male fire-type mutant of the first-level middle stage, Wan Lin. He briefly talked about the situation in Bei City, mainly mentioning the rules of the Bei City base, so that Bai Ye and his friends would not know anything after entering and break taboos.
Their team is not a mercenary team, but a zombie hunting team, which means to hunt zombies. The Bei City base is very large, so it is different from other bases. There are many rules here, and the order in the base is also very good. The conditions for setting up a mercenary team are relatively harsh, and there are many rules in many mercenary teams, which are not free at all. Therefore, except for those high-level psychics, many people at the bottom are free to form a zombie hunting team to hunt zombies.
Although it is risky to do so, it is better than joining those mercenary teams, where your life is controlled by others and you don't know when you will become cannon fodder.
However, many of the rules of the Bay City base are similar to those of other security bases. For example, the mercenaries inside must take on missions to hunt zombies every day. And as the level of the mercenary team increases, there are more missions to complete, which means that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
But although the task is heavy, the rewards are also generous.
There is also a concept of contribution value in the Bay City base. The more tasks you complete and the more difficult they are, the more contribution points you get. And these contribution points are used to measure the status of the mercenary team in the safe zone and the treatment they can enjoy. For example, shopping discounts, material distribution, and shops that each mercenary team can own.
The base in Bei City is large and has a large population. The amount of food and water required for such a large population is not small. It is absolutely not enough to rely on a single force. All available resources must be utilized.
Therefore, many farms, breeding farms and factories have been set up in the base. Of course, due to the shortage of electricity, the so-called factories are basically handicraft workshops, mainly used to produce some food to resist hunger.
Most of the agricultural products and livestock raised on farms and breeding farms were re-produced in factories and turned into food that could be stored. The scraps that were previously discarded were now all used. Except for those with good abilities who could still eat normal meals, most people could only eat food similar to compressed biscuits.
Because of the lack of seasoning and flavor, the taste of these compressed biscuits produced in the factory can be imagined. Fortunately, people nowadays have all suffered hardships, as long as they can fill their stomachs and survive.
When Wan Lin said this, he took out a compressed biscuit from his bag and spread it in his palm to show Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin.
This compressed biscuit is dark yellow in color, vacuum packed, not very big, about 4 cm long, 3 cm wide, and only half a cm thick. However, according to Wan Lin, one piece of this compressed biscuit can barely fill an ordinary person, but for a superpower, one piece is barely enough, and at least two pieces are needed.
In addition to this compressed biscuit, there is also ham sausage made with minced meat. The price is higher than that of compressed biscuits. Although it will not make you full, it tastes better and is more nutritious.
However, this kind of ham sausage is more expensive than compressed biscuits, and they only buy some occasionally to change their appetite. They don’t have any on them at the moment, so it’s not convenient to show it to Fang Yuxin and the others.
In addition to those produced by factories, some stores also sell vacuum-packed bacon, candy and other foods that are easier to store. These are basically found by the mercenary teams from supermarkets or food processing factories, and the prices are very expensive.
Fang Yuxin didn't have any idea about these things. Although she had a lot of supplies, she would never sell them. Anyway, the warehouse had the function of keeping things fresh, so there was no need to worry about things going bad.
What concerned her was that the Bay City Base had actually developed an energy detector. This detector could detect the energy fluctuations in a person. Although it could not distinguish the attributes of a superpower user, it could detect the level of the superpower user more accurately.
Among them, Wan Lin mentioned something that particularly concerned her. He said that the people in the research institute were researching an instrument that could identify space-based superpowers. It was an upgraded version of this energy detector. Once it was developed, it would be able to distinguish the attributes of superpowers. If there were space-based superpowers, they would definitely be discovered!
Because the portable space opened up by the space ability user requires ability to maintain, the energy fluctuations on the body will be very active and there is no way to converge.
Fang Yuxin didn’t know if her Qingmu Lingfu would be discovered if such a detector appeared. She felt horrified whenever she thought of that possibility!
Seeing that her expression did not change, Bai Ye quickly squeezed her palm and said in a voice transmission: "Xinxin, don't worry. Didn't he say that this kind of detector has not appeared yet? Don't panic!"
