Fang Qingdai looked at the crowd that had temporarily calmed down and sneered inwardly.
In the wasteland, the strong bullying the weak is the norm.
If you don't want to be bullied, you have to show a fierce and reckless side.
But Fang Qingdai knew that even if she and Qingluan acted fiercely, it would only intimidate those who didn't have much strength to begin with.
Anyone with even a little skill won't be easily intimidated.
Especially after the superhuman team finishes their work and returns to the city, and there is no one outside the city to suppress them, the people from the outer district whose homes have been destroyed will inevitably clash with those from the inner district.
There will be even more people taking advantage of the situation!
Fang Qingdai couldn't wait until then; she had to find a safe area to settle down with Qingluan before the chaos began!
Fang Qingdai quickly flipped through the original owner's memories in her mind, and after thinking for a while, she had an idea.
She got up, packed her backpack, pulled Qingluan through the crowd, and walked straight toward the base gate.
As mentioned before, the closer you are to the base, the safer you are.
However, even though they gathered at the foot of the city wall, the closer they were to the city gate, the more it indicated their status!
In the original owner's memories, there were three major forces in the inner district, the strongest of which was Zhang Chengjie, the leader of the inner district!
Zhang Chengjie was once a member of the superpowered team, but during a mission, an accident occurred and his crystal core was shattered. Although he did not die, he could no longer use his superpowers.
Having lost his status as a superhuman, he was naturally expelled from the base.
However, he still possessed considerable combat skills and extensive knowledge, allowing him to quickly establish himself among ordinary people outside the base and build a faction.
Of course, the main reason he was able to maintain his position at the top was because he was relatively fair, protective of his own people, and kind to ordinary people.
Compared to the other two forces, they are considered a relatively good backer.
In addition, Fang Qingdai had a conflict with the second force to which Kun Ge belonged, so right now the only ones who can protect Fang Qingdai and her sister are Zhang Chengjie's team!
So Fang Qingdai took Qingluan directly to the city gate, which was within Zhang Chengjie's territory.
As she walked, she used her backpack as cover to refill her empty water bag.
Upon arriving at the location, Fang Qingdai pointed with an air of authority at a man who was clearly a patrolman from Zhang Chengjie's team: "Take me to see your boss, I have business to discuss with him!"
It has always been said that troublemakers are the most difficult to deal with, and Fang Qingdai knew all too well that she couldn't be too polite to these troublemakers.
Once you lose your momentum, people will look down on you, and you'll have to bribe them with all sorts of things to pry open that door!
The man paused, looking at the Fang Qingdai sisters with suspicion.
Seeing that the person was dressed plainly and did not have any supernatural abilities, they were initially somewhat dismissive.
But the two sisters remained unfazed by his scrutiny, their brows furrowing even more deeply, clearly growing impatient.
Their calm and composed demeanor made the man unsure of their identities. After a moment's hesitation, he politely asked, "Who are you? If I go to deliver a message, how should I tell our boss?"
Fang Qingdai raised her chin: "My dad is Qing Zhong, and my mom is Zhang Xin. They are both members of Squad 182. My dad used to be the squad leader!"
The man was startled for a moment, then became even more polite!
Although people with superpowers are much rarer than ordinary people, Xuanwu Base, one of the four major bases in the wasteland, has tens of thousands of people with superpowers!
The man in front of her was just an ordinary person who had only been inside the base a few times, so of course he couldn't possibly know Fang Qingdai's parents.
They would never have known that the two had been missing for more than half a year and had long been expelled from the base!
Right now, all he knew was that he absolutely couldn't offend the daughters of the two superhumans, so he immediately turned and jogged off to find Zhang Chengjie to deliver the message!
After everyone left, Qingluan cautiously asked, "Sister, what should I say when others ask about Mom and Dad?"
Qingluan knew Fang Qingdai was lying. The little girl was born in the wasteland, and her values could not be compared with those of the flowers of the modern motherland.
All she knew was that if Fang Qingdai lied, she would help her cover it up; if Fang Qingdai committed murder, she would also help hand her the knife!
Fang Qingluan rubbed the little girl's head: "Sister only used Mom and Dad as a cover to see their boss, but once you meet them, you still have to tell them the truth about where Mom and Dad are. These things can't be hidden."
If there is no superhuman in the household, one cannot live in the base.
Since Fang Qingdai and her sister were going to settle down in Zhang Chengjie's territory, he could naturally guess that their parents were no longer in the superhuman team.
Fang Qingdai never intended to lie like that; it was merely a pretext to send the patrol team on a mission.
Qingluan didn't understand, but she obediently didn't ask.
But when she saw Zhang Chengjie, the little girl still stared at Fang Qingdai expectantly, as if she wanted to know how Fang Qingdai would explain.
Fang Qingdai smiled and took out a water bottle filled with water from her backpack.
"Boss Zhang, I'd like to buy a place on your turf to settle down. Do you think a pot of this kind of pure water every week would be enough for the settling-in fee?"
Fang Qingdai got straight to the point, generously opening the kettle and letting a few drops of water spill into her palm.
The people behind Zhang Chengjie stared wide-eyed at the clear water droplets, curiously examining Fang Qingdai. They seemed to be marveling at how generous she was as the daughter of a superhuman!
Once people are divided into different classes, all resources will naturally be divided into different levels!
Ordinary people living outside the base can only buy water mixed with mud and sand even if they spend money. Even after adding water purification tablets and letting it stand, the water they get is still yellowish or blackish in color!
The clean and transparent water in front of us is something that only advanced ability users have the authority to purchase, even within the base!
The little girl in front of me took out a large bag without blinking and even poured some out just to demonstrate!
The crowd instantly believed most of the Fang Qingdai sisters' identities!
Zhang Chengjie merely raised an eyebrow in slight surprise, not completely trusting Fang Qingdai because of the pot of water.
He smiled politely yet distantly: "Miss Qing, since your father is also a superhuman, how can my humble temple possibly accommodate two such great figures as you?"
It took Fang Qingdai a while to realize that Miss Qing was calling her!
Hey, I've traveled through time and even lost my surname!
But she couldn't dwell on those things right now. She just smiled helplessly and said frankly, "My parents have both gone missing on a mission."
"What? You're playing me?!" Upon hearing this, the man who had come to deliver the message immediately turned red with anger.
He looked at Zhang Chengjie in fear, worried that his boss would punish him for his poor performance.
But Fang Qingdai quickly added, "Although my parents are missing, their former teammates have taken good care of my sister and me. Those uncles and elders send us supplies every week!"
The meaning is quite clear: the two sisters still have someone protecting them!
It's no wonder Fang Qingdai brought up these fictitious uncles and elders; she simply needed to use people from within the base as an excuse to openly take out and use her belongings.
She also knew that in the wasteland, two girls were too easy targets for those with ulterior motives, and if they didn't raise a few big flags to keep them in check, something bad would happen sooner or later!
