As you walk up to the third floor, there are even fewer people. Heading towards the end of the corridor, you'll find two fully armed guards at the entrance.
When the three approached, they conducted a more thorough search, but it was of no use to Gu Lingxiao, who could come and go as he pleased.
“We will seal your abilities next. I’m letting you know in advance to avoid any misunderstandings,” one of the guards said.
"Lin Yu, you should leave first, you don't need to go in," Gu Lingxiao said warily.
"Let me go in instead. If something dangerous happens, you'll still have a chance to rescue me."
"Stop talking nonsense," Gu Lingxiao said bluntly.
Lin Yu didn't say anything more, nor was he angry. He had already experienced Gu Lingxiao's temper before. Even his own brother, Gu Lingchuan, couldn't do anything about him, let alone the even more dangerous sealing ability.
“There’s really no need for that. We are genuinely interested in cooperating,” Zheng Guohao said, trying to persuade him to stay.
But this made Lin Yu even more vigilant. "No need, I can stay outside."
The tone was no longer as friendly as before.
Zheng Guohao was helpless, but what could he say at this point?
"The seal can be lifted once you come out," one of the guards said as he led Zheng Guohao through the door. Zheng Guohao's powers had also been sealed.
When it was Gu Lingxiao's turn, one of the guards pushed him through the door.
Gu Lingxiao paused two or three steps inside the door. His superpowers were indeed greatly suppressed, but not completely.
It's equivalent to a 50% reduction, so it can't be completely suppressed. One reason might be that I have two special abilities, but it's more likely that the opponent is only at the second stage.
However, it might not be that simple; he discovered something even more interesting.
After a brief pause, Gu Lingxiao continued forward, and the layout seemed to indicate a multimedia room.
At this moment, someone was already sitting in the main seat. He looked to be in his forties or fifties, but he was in excellent spirits, with bright, piercing eyes and a rather tall stature.
She looked up at Gu Lingxiao with a smile, "Don't stand, come and sit down."
Gu Lingxiao and Zheng Guohao sat down in front of the man, and one of them, who had been standing behind the man, poured a glass of water for Gu Lingxiao and Zheng Guohao.
"The conditions are a bit basic, but we'll have to make do for now."
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Hua Zhiyuan, one of the leaders of the military survivor base."
"Gu Lingxiao," Gu Lingxiao replied.
"Guohao has probably already told you the purpose of inviting you here. Now we can discuss the terms."
"I want crystals, whether they're from zombies or evolved creatures," Gu Lingxiao said bluntly.
Hua Zhiyuan didn't mince words. He gave an instruction to the man on his left and then continued, "Consider this a deposit. After the deal is done, I can grant you one more reasonable request."
Next, people started arriving one after another, including the four members of the military's superpowered squad and the four official evolved individuals.
Among the official evolved beings is that beast-transformed evolved being.
The other three were unfamiliar to me: a woman in her thirties, a boy of seventeen or eighteen, and a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Unlike the military, the official evolution squad members were not fully armed; they wore civilian clothes and appeared rather casual.
"This rescue mission is now entrusted to you all. The specific details of the mission have been explained before, so I won't go into them here."
"Everyone, please introduce yourselves so that the newcomer, Gu Lingxiao, can get to know you."
Gu Lingxiao knew about the military squad; Gu Lingchuan had secretly told him before he arrived.
Only three people were unaware of this: the official evolved beings.
"Zhou Mingzhe, beast transformation ability." Only now did he realize this guy's name, but he wasn't as arrogant as before. Gu Lingxiao still preferred his previous haughty attitude.
"Hello, my name is Jin Xiulan. I can control the water element, and I'm just like Zheng Guohao—we're incompatible, both in real life and in reality."
Looking at the outstretched hand, Gu Lingxiao thought for a moment and then gently shook it. The person was very polite, so he had no reason to refuse.
"Ye Xiaofeng, your body can be stretched like rubber," said the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.
“Cheng Yuxiang, you have telekinetic abilities. I heard your brother is also a telekinetic evolver. Didn’t he come today? I wanted to have a match with him and see if I could last five seconds against him, hehehehe,” said the last evolver wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Although they were all very modest, their tone was sarcastic and their expressions were extremely irritating. Gu Lingxiao punched them without hesitation.
Cheng Yuxiang was sent flying backward. "I tried. You can't even withstand one of my punches."
Bang!
"What are you doing?" Zhou Mingzhe and Ye Xiaofeng slammed their fists on the table and stood up, instinctively trying to use their superpowers, but found that they couldn't use them at all.
"Who's being sarcastic? I just can't stand looking at them," Gu Lingxiao said nonchalantly.
What are you doing? He can do whatever he wants.
Hua Zhiyuan then ordered the men behind him to put down their weapons and waved his hand, saying, "Sit down, everyone."
Cheng Yuxiang wanted to make a move, but Jin Xiulan stopped him. She now held absolute power among the officials present.
Jin Xiulan frowned, as did Hua Zhiyuan. The message that came back a dozen minutes ago said that Gu Lingxiao had a bad temper, and now they understood.
"You fucking dare to hit me? You're asking for death!" Cheng Yuxiang's entire face was stained red with blood from his nose, his nose was shattered, and his gold-rimmed glasses were nowhere to be seen, making him look quite disheveled.
"Let me say it again, you can try to see if anyone can protect you when you go out later." Gu Lingxiao's murderous gaze made the others feel uneasy. The military knew best that kind of inhuman gaze.
That was the gaze of someone who had fought countless battles, survived the meat grinder of the battlefield, and killed countless people.
What exactly did Gu Lingxiao do during this time?
Based on information from before the apocalypse, Gu Lingxiao was at most a young man who enjoyed extreme adventures.
Gu Lingxiao simply killed too many zombies.
"Alright, alright, let's get back to business. Cheng Yuxiang, our military will provide you with some resources as compensation, and we'll consider this matter closed."
Although Cheng Yuxiang was very angry, he could only hold back.
Next, we discussed the departure time and set it for noon. It's only a little past six now.
The nine people were led out one by one by the guards at the gate.
When it was Gu Lingxiao's turn, he stopped as soon as he stepped out. He had just entered the room when he realized that the one who had sealed him was not one of the two guards, but the room itself.
It seems they sent us off just to hide the truth.
"Is it an evolved human's superpower or something special developed by the military?" Gu Lingxiao wondered to himself.
Seeing Gu Lingxiao suddenly stop, Zheng Guohao's heart tightened. Could this guy really want to kill Cheng Yuxiang? There was no doubt that he could do it, it was just a matter of whether he wanted to or not.
"Come on, Brother Gu, I'll take you to see the crystals," Zheng Guohao said, pulling Gu Lingxiao away quickly.
Upon arriving at the entrance, they encountered Lin Yu, who was not required to participate in this mission.
