"Brother Xiao, are you telling the truth?" Pairs of eyes were fixed on Gu Lingxiao.
"Of course, this information is free. If you want more information, you can go back and discuss it with your superiors; you can exchange resources for it."
While waiting for everyone to process the news, Gu Lingxiao carefully observed the changes in their expressions.
The main ones were those three ordinary people. Hua Yansong's eyes were filled with fervor, and it was unclear what crazy idea he had come up with again.
As for Fang Younan and Li Hai, both of them had excitement in their eyes, which is only natural. Whether they would take the risk or not was none of Ling Xiao's business.
Gu Lingxiao really hoped they would succeed, because that would make things more interesting.
The next day, Gu Lingxiao personally led his men back to the military's survivor base in the evening.
"How was it?" Lin Yu greeted him.
"We've made many discoveries, we'll talk about them when we get back. What about you?"
"The military and the authorities are not as simple as we imagine. We'll discuss this further when we get back," Lin Yu paused before continuing.
"Hua Yansong is Hua Zhiyuan's father, which is why he went to such great lengths to provide support."
"I guessed it," Gu Lingxiao nodded.
After sending the person back, Gu Lingxiao and Lin Yu left immediately.
Traveling at night posed little danger to the two of them. Lin Yu scouted out a relatively safe route, while Gu Lingxiao dealt with any unexpected situations.
Overnight, the two returned to the Blue Fish Survivor Base. More than a week had passed since they last met, and the walls had been raised and thickened considerably, while the hydroelectric power generation project was also taking shape.
"Rest for a day first, we can talk about it when you wake up," Gu Lingchuan said.
Lin Yu and Gu Lingxiao went straight back to sleep. Lin Yu was alright because he hadn't slept the night before, but Gu Lingxiao hadn't slept for several days.
Although the impact is not significant, it's always good to take a break.
The five people gathered together in the evening.
Lin Yu took out a map and spoke first, "This is a structural diagram of the military survivor base. The military and the government are separate entities."
"Both sides possess powerful weapons; the military has nuclear warheads and hydrogen bombs, and the activation authority is in Hua Zhiyuan's hands."
"Although the official authorities do not possess nuclear warheads, they do have missiles, specifically the latest generation FP-10 missiles, and all their operations are controlled by a man named Xu Tianlei."
"Secondly, the military has two squads of evolved humans, and several evolved humans without squads. One squad is led by Zheng Guohao, and the other squad is more secretive. The leader is unknown, but the person protecting Hua Zhiyuan is from this squad, which has about ten people."
"The official side has even more evolved beings, at least thirty or forty, but none of them have received much training; most of them were recruited from outside."
The group passed the map around for a while.
After Lin Yu finished talking about Gu Lingxiao, he told her about what had happened to him.
"A giant alien that's thirty or forty meters tall!" Lin An gasped.
“I have a feeling there’s a secret beneath that lab building. I’ll go take a look when I have time and see if I can find any useful information,” Gu Lingchuan said.
"By the way, I've given some information to the military. They might come to buy information later," Gu Lingxiao said.
“It is indeed possible to sell the information to the military in exchange for our improved resources,” Gu Lingchuan thought for a moment and continued.
"Bai Ling is almost at stage three. Lin An, Lin Yu, what about you?"
Lin An was almost there as well, while Lin Yu was a step behind because he hadn't absorbed much crystal in the past few days. Even when he did absorb crystal, it was only to restore his superpowers and to explore the military survivor base.
The meeting of the five people ended quickly. The next day, Gu Lingxiao focused on absorbing the crystals, and he planned to spend the rest of his time breaking through to the fourth stage.
When Gu Lingxiao had used up almost all of his crystals, the military finally sent someone. In order to increase his bargaining power, Gu Lingchuan told the other party about his ability to identify crystals.
Tell the other party that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. After all, there are too many unknowns in the apocalypse. Having someone like Gu Lingchuan to ask about many uncertain things indirectly enhances the status of the Qingyu survivor base.
After the other party's experiment confirmed this, the resulting crystals were simply not enough to exchange for information.
Of the more than 30,000 zombie crystals, Gu Lingxiao allocated 20,000 to himself.
This was the conclusion reached after everyone discussed it. They urgently needed a forceful leader who could intimidate everyone, and Gu Lingxiao was undoubtedly such a person.
When the military came again, they brought a lot of super-energy crystals from evolved creatures, which, when converted into zombie crystals, amounted to a full 50,000. They also offered extremely good benefits to recruit Gu Lingchuan and Gu Lingxiao.
But both of them refused.
"What a pity." In addition to Zheng Guohao, there was another person from the military who had been following Hua Zhiyuan.
The introduction states that he is Zhong Jiahao, the captain of another evolution squad in the military.
"If you change your minds in the future, the military's doors will always be open to you, and your treatment will only improve."
After everyone left, Gu Lingchuan said, "This person's special ability is very interesting."
"An evolved creature in the fourth stage before entering the extraordinary sequence, possessing the ability to transfer damage; captain of a military special evolution squad; evolutionary direction—god."
"With the support of firearms, the military must have acquired a lot of resources, so a fourth stage is quite normal."
"Did you tell the military beforehand that your ability can detect the abilities of evolved individuals?" Gu Lingxiao asked.
Gu Lingchuan shook his head. "They didn't say, but the military might have guessed."
Gu Lingxiao received 30,000 of the 50,000 coins.
He continued to absorb crystals for more than ten days. Gu Lingxiao had long since used up all his crystals, and his speed suddenly slowed down. Now Gu Lingxiao felt that his breakthrough progress was only halfway done. You should know that, all things considered, Gu Lingxiao had absorbed about 100,000 zombie crystals.
During this period, Bai Ling and Lin An both broke through to the third stage, while Lin Yu was a little slower, but still close, probably in about five more days.
Lin An's superpowers remained unchanged, except that the intensity of the emotional infection increased.
But Bai Ling was different. After Gu Lingchuan told her to develop her sixth sense, she actually evolved a sixth sense this time.
Even without using his special abilities, Gu Lingxiao might not be able to hit her, considering that Gu Lingxiao's physical abilities are inferior to those of other fully evolved individuals at the same stage.
This demonstrates just how strong Bai Ling's sixth sense is.
To celebrate, she even went to find a few bottles of wine and cooked some snacks to go with them.
That one drink led to trouble.
With a dazed look in her eyes, Bai Ling hugged Gu Lingchuan. "Cousin Lingchuan, would you like to come sit with me for a while?"
Gu Lingxiao picked up a bottle of baijiu and disappeared from the spot. She really wanted to be his sister-in-law.
The Lin brothers tactfully left, giving Gu Lingchuan a smile before they departed.
"Sigh~" Gu Lingxiao was both helpless and excited, after all, no woman had ever gotten this close to him before.
Bai Ling pressed her face very close, and the smell of alcohol mixed with a faint body fragrance wafted into Gu Lingchuan's nose.
