Chapter 389: Sickness
"With these supplies as bait, your base will definitely gather the strength of the entire base and catch fish in advance, which is equivalent to storing supplies for various forces in the Pingjin base." Lin Ya is now regarded as the third in command of the Menghu team, so naturally he knows a lot of information.
"The entire base has gathered together to attack you. They will definitely make a desperate plan. You should go back and think carefully about the plan I mentioned."
"Even so, there are so many people in our base. If we exchange the unripe food, aren't we worried that we will have eaten it all by the time you attack us?"
"Haha." Lin Ya was amused by him and laughed for a long time before she said, "Your base has been planting crops and purchasing food from Kyoto Base and Pingjin Base. It is not difficult to imagine that you must have thought about the possibility of food shortage in the future. Under such circumstances, would you eat the unstimulated food seeds directly?"
"Moreover, they will exchange a certain amount of food for you this time, enough for you to eat in a short period of time, to ensure that when they take over your base, the most valuable materials will remain intact."
Qi Lin's fingertips dug into his flesh unconsciously, his expression serious, "When are they going to start?"
"The preliminary schedule is when the sea freezes. According to last year's situation, it should be soon after the temperature drops. We are already gathering water-based mutants here to help solidify the ice. We can reach your base directly without any effort." Lin Ya held a cup of warm water in her hand, not knowing which side she hoped for success.
"Under normal circumstances, your base is a fully armed fortress, but if the sea freezes directly, there will be routes to the island everywhere. With the few people in your base, you can't defend it if you spread out."
Qi Lin got the news he wanted and without saying anything more, he disappeared like a gust of wind, quickly returned to their temporary residence, and informed everyone of the news.
"There are thousands of A-level psychics in their base? I don't believe it." Xu Sa was surprised after hearing this. Their base has been using purified crystal cores for upgrading, and there have always been many of them at B-level. How could there be so many on the other side?
"It's true," Li Qing said, "Their base has always advocated that mutant humans are new humans, and they only accept people with special powers. When there are people with special powers all around, if you want to stand out, you can only upgrade desperately. Even though they have a lot of A-level people, in fact, more people die during the upgrade."
"Yes, the entire Pingjin base adopts the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak. It is normal for people with low superpowers to be bullied. If they don't want to be bullied, they can only work hard to improve their superpowers." Lei Jun told several people the information he had secretly obtained.
"In the past six months alone, according to rough statistics, more than 20,000 people have died due to upgrades. This also means that those who can survive are all those who have strong wills and wills who will do whatever it takes."
"The current person in charge of their base, Jiang Ning, is a metal-type mutant, said to be at the top of Class A. The persons in charge of other forces are also about the same, and are not far from being upgraded. In this case, upgrading is definitely a life-threatening situation, so it is normal for them to have a common goal and face the outside world in unison."
"And they will definitely fight to the death." No matter how strong someone is, they are afraid of risking their life.
Several people looked at Lu Weiyi, who was wrapped up in a ball, to see what he meant.
"Wait until I meet Lin Ya... A-choo... Let me see what bargaining chips she has in her hand," Lu Weiyi said, and asked them about the material exchange situation.
"This time they did say some of the food was created, and then some low-level crystal cores and some original seeds of grains."
This was obviously not the same thing as what they talked about last time. Lu Weiyi looked over in confusion. Ning Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll give you the rest next time."
"This is really a chance to catch us before winter comes, so we can pick more," Li Qing complained.
However, this also proves that the other party is determined to take them down.
The information was incomplete at the moment and no decision could be made. Lu Weiyi only arranged for Ning Yuan and others to continue discussing the shipment and asked Qi Lin to make an appointment to meet with Lin Ya.
Late that night, Lu Weiyi met Lin Ya.
The place they met was an open red-light parlor. The red lanterns exuded an ambiguous feeling. Young girls in revealing clothes and boys of various temperaments waved to the people coming and going on the street to solicit customers.
It was completely different from the silence at night in their base. Ning Yuan and Wu Yue, who came with him, felt like it was the difference between an agricultural society and a feudal dynasty.
"What do you mean?" Lu Weiyi didn't understand his train of thought.
"Maybe it's the gap between a small village and the capital," Ning Yuan said.
"So, you want this to happen in our base as well?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"..." Ning Yuan was embarrassed to tell him that their base also had it, but it was just a private personal choice and would not be so open and aboveboard.
Before Ning Yuan could answer, a girl in black stockings and bunny ears who was standing at the door came over. Her cold white skin glowed in the night. She blinked one eye and called out to Lu Weiyi, "Little brother."
Wu Yue blocked him in front of him and asked in a rough voice, "Where is your boss? I brought my brother out to play and found some clean girls."
"Come here, sir. We have all kinds of girls here, some are skinny and some are plump, but..." A charming woman in a cheongsam, with her legs slit to the thigh, walked over gracefully.
Wu Yue held an A-grade crystal core between them.
The woman immediately smiled brightly, "Xiao Zi, take the three gentlemen to the private room upstairs, I will call someone to serve them right away."
Wu Yue followed the boy named Xiao Zi upstairs. Lu Weiyi looked around with a curious look. His occasional sneeze did not affect his gaze. Ning Yuan was anxious but could not say much - he was afraid that he would be punished by Zhuang Mingxu when he returned.
This should have been a hotel before the end of the world. They were taken directly to a suite on the fourth floor with two bedrooms and a living room. It had everything you could think of. In the dim light in the master bedroom, various unknown instruments could be seen hanging everywhere. Before Lu Weiyi could walk over to take a closer look, Ning Yuan quickly closed the door.
The boy named Xiao Zi knelt on the ground and poured them three glasses of wine. He said respectfully, "Gentlemen, please wait a moment," and slowly retreated.
Not long after, Lin Ya pushed the door open.
Compared to the charming look when they first met, she now has a more mature demeanor of a big sister. Perhaps it is because she has the final say. She does not seem to be dependent on others anymore, and has more heroic spirit that comes from her confidence.
"Captain of the Land Base" Lin Ya sat opposite Lu Weiyi and said, "You look..."
She felt like any compliments she gave in the casual conversation would be insulting, especially since Lu Weiyi sneezed again.
"…Are you sick?"
"I have a cold," Lu Weiyi said listlessly. If it wasn't a serious matter and other people couldn't just agree to it, Lu Weiyi should be hiding under the quilt to keep out the sweat instead of coming here in the cool breeze.
"C...cold?" Lin Ya asked in a strange tone, "Aren't you a superpower?"
"Who said that people with special abilities can't catch a cold? A-choo... people with special abilities may even die." Lu Weiyi covered his nose to prevent his snot from flying around, and retorted in a muffled voice.
Lin Ya noticed that he seemed to be in a bad mood and did not dare to continue talking.
Ning Yuan took over the conversation, "Hello, Ms. Lin, I'm Ning Yuan. Before, you told someone that you wanted to cooperate. How would you like to cooperate? We need to know your value of cooperation before we can discuss the next step."
Seeing that Lu Weiyi did not object to the other party speaking, Lin Ya knew that this man should be able to speak, so she went straight to the point, "I can provide you with a few people under my power, and you can recruit them for your own use."
Ning Yuan raised his eyebrows and motioned for her to continue, "You should know that Changjiang Ning in our base hates ordinary people, so from the beginning he requires those who want to join the team to abandon ordinary people among their companions and families. All conditions in the city are much better than outside, and the contrast is too strong, which makes it impossible for those with special abilities to let go."
“But not everyone can take action against their relatives, so some people secretly hide their relatives’ identities and live outside the base. They will think of ways to help them. Not everyone here is in the same team as ordinary people. They just survive here and obey the rules set by the strong. So those who know about it will turn a blind eye, as long as it doesn’t get to the ears of those people above.”
"You want us to use those family members to threaten them to do something?" Ning Yuan immediately understood what she meant.
“The position of the person who dares to do this can’t be too high, right?” Wu Yue asked. After all, in today’s world, stepping on the bottom line of a leader is tantamount to putting your life on the line.
"Yes, but they are more hidden. I just happen to know a few of them," Lin Ya said.
Ning Yuan turned his head and glanced at Wu Yue, after a moment of silence, "Tell me who they are first, so I can know their value."
"Okay, but you know my conditions, right?" Lin Ya suddenly asked.
"Um?"
"I want a chance to successfully upgrade to S-level"
"..." Lu Weiyi looked at her, "It's still too early for you to upgrade, right?"
"Well, I was promoted to A-level not long ago," Lin Ya did not deny.
"I'll tell you the method when the time comes. As for whether it can succeed, it depends on you." Anyway, by the time she wants to upgrade, the base will probably have already promoted the purification crystal core to every base.
Lu Weiyi suddenly felt that he had melted the pie without losing anything.
"Is everyone on your team this successful?" Lin Ya asked carefully, holding her breath.
"Yes," Lu Weiyi answered without hesitation.
Lin Ya looked at Ning Yuan and Wu Yue, lowered her eyes and thought for a while before saying, "Okay."
She only provided three people, each of whom held a position in the three forces in the Pingjin base.
Unlike the Kyoto base, there are only three teams in the entire Pingjin base. The Pingjin team headed by Jiang Ning is the earliest established team. Jiang Ning is also the base commander of the Pingjin base. The second is the Menghu team with Meng Hu as the captain, and the last one is the Blizzard team with Zhang Tong as the captain.
The three major teams divided up the psychics and supplies in the entire Pingjin base. All psychics who came here had to join a team, otherwise they would be jointly hunted down or expelled.
