Lin Shuyu's expression changed slightly, but in the end, she could only turn back, unable to bear to look.
If... if he could be even stronger, wouldn't...
"Captain, look, isn't that Sister Su!"
Upon hearing Zhang Miaomiao's words, Lin Shuyu immediately looked up in the direction Zhang Miaomiao was pointing. From the cover bushes outside the base, a familiar figure slowly walked towards the base alone.
"...It's her!"
With just one glance, Lin Shuyu recognized the figure and couldn't help but step forward to greet him.
"Captain, me too!" Seeing the captain move, Zhang Miaomiao ran out and came to Su Luo's side. "Hello, Sister Su!"
Looking at Zhang Miaomiao, whom she hadn't seen for half a year, who seemed to have matured a bit since then, Su Luo smiled and nodded, "You're not bad either."
"You've grown into a fine young man!"
Hearing Su Luo's words, Zhang Miaomiao scratched her head a little embarrassedly, thinking to herself, "Sister Su said I've grown up, but isn't she about the same age herself?"
Lin Shuyu led Su Luo into the base, politely maintaining the appropriate social distance along the way.
Polite and restrained.
"It's good that you're here. I thought..."
"The captain thought something had happened to you and has been waiting outside the base for most of the day!" Zhang Miaomiao told the truth about what happened this morning, and Lin Shuyu didn't have time to stop her.
"So worried about me?" Su Luo narrowed her eyes. She hadn't realized he had any conscience and knew to worry about her. "Okay, if there's another free shopping event next time, I'll take you guys there!"
Lin Shuyu: ...
Unlike Lin Shuyu's expression, Zhang Miaomiao looked excited. "Really? There will be such an opportunity again?"
Although there is no evidence on the surface, based on the information they obtained, the president of the Chamber of Commerce in the Gui City Commercial Street of the provincial capital changed hands some time ago, around New Year's Eve. Think about it, if the person who could suddenly change the ownership of the Chamber of Commerce in the provincial capital during this period is not a ghost, then he is a human.
If it were a human, only the one in front of them could do it!
Moreover, there's this thing called Los Angeles Coin that's been circulating in the Ghost Market commercial street lately.
Los Angeles, Los Angeles, the city of Su Luo, is there even a question?
Of course, this was just speculation within Lin Shuyu's team and did not spread beyond the team. Even Lin Shuyu's grandfather was unaware of it.
"However, I did encounter some things." If it weren't for Nangong Liuli, she would have already entered the Noah Base.
He told Lin Shuyu about Nangong Liuli and her group coming to Noah Base for help this morning, and Lin Shuyu frowned seriously upon hearing this.
"I have not received any messages from anyone at the makeshift base coming to the Noah base for help or to check in."
"It must have been intercepted."
As Lin Shuyu spoke, her expression grew increasingly grim.
Afterwards, Su Luo told Lin Shuyu about what happened at the makeshift hospital, and specifically reminded him about the talent skill [Alienation].
"So, those people from the makeshift hospital are in your cabin now?"
"Well, to be more precise, it's my town."
"It's a small town now!" Zhang Miaomiao popped her head out and said enviously.
Thinking back to when they first went to the cottage, it was just a cottage, not very big. But judging from what Sister Su is saying now, the cottage has grown and developed into the shape of a small town.
I'm so envious of people who can live in Sister Su's town.
"I will investigate what you said." A base turning into monsters is a matter of great importance. The fact that they haven't even received any news about it on the surface indicates that the other party has great power, and it's even possible that some high-ranking officials have already sided with these people, or rather, these strange creatures!
"Oh, by the way, does your Noah base still have contact with the authorities?"
"Official?" Lin Shuyu thought for a moment and nodded. "Although I don't know the details, there is still a connection."
"Then the official supplies..."
This is what Su Luo is most concerned about: since the existence of the makeshift hospital base has been acknowledged, why not send resources? Why has there been no contact after the first time?
If the situation is the same for all other bases, and the authorities have likely lost control, then that's understandable. After all, how can they provide support if they lose control?
But at this moment, Lin Shuyu told Su Luo that the official contact with Noah Base was still going strong, and that they were even providing supplies. How could this not arouse suspicion?!
"Supplies...were only replenished once or twice. After that, when we contacted the authorities again, they all made excuses to brush us off." Lin Shuyu told the truth. Otherwise, they wouldn't have fallen into such dire straits so quickly. If it weren't for Su Luo, they probably wouldn't have lasted this long.
So, because the makeshift hospital was built independently, it was simply abandoned? They just used that base as a testing ground! They cut off the signal and offered absolutely no help.
But Noah's Base wouldn't work, so they could only use various excuses to keep Noah's Base occupied.
Why would the authorities do this? Or is there a problem with their operations?
It seems like this is a pretty big problem!
How many people are you planning to take with you this time?
After finishing talking about the Nangong Liuli mobile shelter base, Lin Shuyu returned to the main topic and tentatively asked, but Su Luo raised his eyebrows and said indifferently.
"Any number of people will do."
"The more the better!"
I thought Lin Shuyu would hesitate, but to my surprise, he nodded, seemingly quite pleased with what Su Luo said.
"Then... I'll leave it to Miss Su."
At first, Su Luo didn't quite understand the meaning of Lin Shuyu's words until she entered the Noah Base.
Compared to when I last came in, the outermost ring of territory seemed even more dilapidated and desolate, with people everywhere dressed in rags. Looking around, there were mostly elderly people, young children, and frail women.
Upon seeing Lin Shuyu and his group, the crowd only glanced at them before retreating in fear, without seeing any personnel distributing supplies.
"This is?"
"The order from above, after discovering that humans can awaken various talents, was to deliberately categorize humans by their talents in order to control resources."
"From the relatively ordinary or useless F-grade to the S-grade, and then to the SSS-grade which has not yet appeared, the items and rights that can be obtained in the Noah Base are also different."
"These people are just ordinary people who haven't yet awakened their talents."
"It was abandoned on the outermost edge of the base."
At this point, Lin Shuyu took a deep breath, seemingly reluctant yet helpless.
"I see."
Although it was somewhat cruel, Su Luo could understand it. Although these people were of little use at the Noah base, her town needed people. As long as they were people, they would probably... be needed.
Looking around, there are at least several hundred people in this area. But it's not a shelter that accepts all the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled. At the very least, they should be able to move around and work.
Just as Su Luo was about to walk forward to take a look, a woman holding a child and a white steamed bun that looked out of place in the room blocked their way.
