Chapter 49: Battle for the Water Supply Company
Early the next morning, Yin Shan and Wang Lu were leading two groups of people each and preparing to set out to look for supplies when Lei Ting and his two companions returned.
Fang Wenting fulfilled his original promise, offering 10,000 jin of grain and 5 tons of gasoline, and 10 bottles of supernatural evolution fluid in exchange for 100 crystal cores. Originally, 10 bottles of evolution fluid were exchanged for 50,000 jin of grain, but the official base couldn't provide it, so Lei Ting asked for 100 crystal cores.
The Crystal Core Thunder has been brought back, and the other supplies will be sent to the New Dragon Base and then delivered from the New Dragon Base.
In addition, Fang Wenting paid an additional fee for two fully-equipped military armored vehicles, 5,000 liters of nutrient solution for hydroponic vegetables, and 100 kilograms of various Chinese medicinal seeds for the Longteng Base.
Lei Ting said: “Fang Wenting said that when the country predicted that the natural disaster might last for more than 10 years, it started to establish official bases in various cities.
But now most of these bases have declared independence, and there has been no news so far from those that have not declared independence.
In other words, the state apparatus has basically disintegrated.
The military base and the official base in Kyoto are still struggling, but the outlook is not optimistic.
It won’t be long before chaos breaks out.”
Yin Shan said, "It's already been in chaos. Now that the natural disaster has just begun, production hasn't fully recovered. The survivors are starving. If Fang Wenting can't solve the food problem, the official base will sooner or later fall into chaos. But I think he has the ability to solve this problem. Jingdu has gathered talents from all over the country, and the Agricultural Science Academy is not just for free."
What does Fang Wenting say about our base and Xinlong Base?
“Fang Wenting acknowledged that Xinlong Base was the official base of City A and allowed Longteng Base to absorb survivors on its own.
He said he hoped Longteng Base would serve as a spark base, preserving hope for human survival, and he would do his best to support us. "Lei Ting said excitedly.
The Spark Base, as the name suggests, Fang Wenting hopes that the Longteng Base will continue human civilization and preserve the outstanding survivors of China in anticipation of the future.
"Boss, we have completed the mission. Now, can the four of us join the Longteng Base?" Lei Ting rubbed his hands and asked cautiously.
“Join the Longteng base, bully ordinary survivors, and kill them.
If you fight poorly, you will be killed.
Lazy and greedy, kill.
If you can do it, you are welcome to join us," Yin Shan said with a smile.
"Beep, the host has added 4 new team members. The team members' abilities have been copied, and no new abilities have been added. The wind, fire, thunder, and water abilities have been upgraded. Reward mall points: 5000 points
When the host has 20 official team members, a phased reward is triggered: a crystal power station, which provides power to the entire base (including but not limited to the current base and the radiation area of the expansion base), with unlimited use; the initial usable period is 12 months, and renewal only requires 500 crystal cores per year.
Therefore, this power station can be used as long as it is Yin Shan's chassis, and there is no need to worry about power restrictions or energy replenishment, but it requires 500 crystal cores per year.
Does this system even realize how valuable crystal cores are? 500 crystal cores isn't like killing 500 mutants! Even if they kill mutants for a year, they still might not be able to get 500 crystal cores!
While Yin Shan was complaining about the high system charges, he was also thinking about how happy he was to have a power station.
The expression on his face is quite interesting.
Lei Ting touched his nose. Could it be that the four of them were too outstanding and Yin Shan was too happy?
But this expression doesn’t look like excitement at all, it seems like a mixture of excitement and heartache.
Could it be that this girl is afraid that the four of us will eat her out of money?
He admitted that they ate a lot while resting at Su Nianyi Base!
But isn’t that because we are thinking about the tough battle coming up, so we need to replenish our energy?
The four of them looked at each other, and Eagle said cautiously: "Boss, we can eat less..."
By this time Yin Shan had already realized that to get 500 crystal cores, the worst that could happen was that he could sell the evolution liquid to Fang Wenting. It was also very easy to achieve!
Hearing what the eagle said, he immediately said: "Eating less won't delay work!"
Yin peeled off!!!
"We will go find supplies. You go back to the base to rest first. My dad will take care of you!" Yin Shan said. So the two groups followed the original plan. Yin Shan went to find what was needed for the water supply system, and Wang Lu and the others went to the Agricultural University.
Agricultural University is located in the city, so there's no danger. Wang Lu, Tang Xiao, Li Fei, Da Zhuang, Zhou Xue, and Li Xin all made it through safely, securing a good amount of supplies.
On Yin Shan's side, Chen Feng took out a map and said, "The water supply company is at the junction of City A and City B. According to Lei Ting's report, the official base in City B may have also declared independence. We can't be careless. Water resources are essential. The official base in City B may also go there to look for materials."
Yin Shan nodded. Indeed, City A and City B share the Pearl River as their dividing line. The state has built a large reservoir there, and both cities rely on the reservoir for their water source, which could lead to conflict.
When they arrived at the water supply company, Yin Shan walked in front, Li Wei led the way in second place, Wu Gang and Liu Yun were on the left and right sides, and Chen Feng was the rear guard.
"Base leader, let's go directly to the factory area. Materials are usually piled up in the factory area. There is nothing to take inside the company," said Li Wei, pointing in a random direction.
"Be alert, the company gate shows signs of being broken open violently." Yin Shan said in a low voice, casually took out a bulletproof vest and handed it to Li Wei, motioning him to put it on.
When they arrived at the factory, they didn't see anyone there for the time being, so Yin Shan took Li Wei in to collect supplies, leaving the other three to disperse and keep watch.
After putting all the necessary supplies into the space, Li Wei exclaimed: "Base Commander, your spatial ability is too strong!"
"Do you know about spatial abilities?" Yin Shan asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Every time Su Nianyi's people took us out to look for supplies, they had the space-based psychics in their team take them away. They always brought two space-based psychics with them, and sometimes the space between two people couldn't hold too many things. I heard them say that if they upgraded their psychics to the next level, they could hold more.
Anyway, none of the space-related mutants I have seen has a space bigger than yours!
I thought at the time that if I had this ability, I could secretly hide some food and not starve to death." Li Wei's eyes were full of admiration.
Yin Shan laughed. The residents who joined her base would subconsciously put a filter on her, thinking that whatever she did was right, and there was no need to worry about their loyalty.
Besides, as long as these people were not stupid, they would know that staying at Longteng Base was much better than going to other bases. There was enough food, and as long as they were at the base, they could rest assured without worrying about waking up to find their supplies gone.
"Boss, someone is coming." Chen Feng's voice sounded in the headset.
Li Wei subconsciously became nervous and took out the dagger tremblingly.
Yin Shan patted his shoulder and signaled him not to be nervous, then led him out of the factory.
"Hey! There's a woman! Buddy, I take back what I said just now. Hand over the woman and supplies, and you can get out!" The other party, a man with a face full of flesh, looked at Yin Shan with a lewd look on his face and said.
"This is the water supply company of City A. Our base in City A has the right to take away the supplies here!" Chen Feng said
"Hahahaha! Where did this idiot come from? The state apparatus has long since collapsed. Now it's a world where the strong prey on the weak. Whoever has the stronger fist is the boss!
Either leave the women and supplies behind and return to your so-called base in City A, or die here." The wretched man waved his hand, and more than 30 people immediately surrounded him.
Yin Shan used all his mental power and finally discovered three people with special abilities. However, there was no other way. They were too weak, so weak that they were basically no different from ordinary people. It was impossible to sense them unless you looked carefully.
"Boss, the other side has no heavy weapons, only three guns." Wu Gang's voice came. Wu Gang had hidden himself long before Yin Shan entered.
"Three worthless psychics, Wu Gang, kill those holding weapons, and kill anyone else who gets close to weapons. Fengzi, Liu Yun, take action." Yin Shan ordered.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After three gunshots, Chen Feng and the other man rushed into the enemy crowd, aiming to make them lose their combat capability. After all, they would still be questioned later!
