Chapter 61 Black Water
Lin Han was speechless after being blocked by Zhang Lei, so he could only turn to talk about attacking the neighboring base. Although it was called a neighboring base, it was actually 230 kilometers away.
This base, numbered 35, was also a private base, not very large. Before arriving in Chen Town, Ruan Fanfan had first investigated the situation at Base 35, which was in contact with national bases, apparently seeking to be incorporated.
However, Wan Youzhi would not allow Base No. 35 to be incorporated so easily.
Now all the water-based mutants have undergone mutations. The major bases that originally relied on water-based mutants to obtain water have fallen into water shortage overnight. Under this situation, Base No. 27, which has been well prepared, has a sure win.
Not long ago, Wan Youzhi predicted that water-type psychics would be affected by the polar night, so he imprisoned them in advance and treated them like cows, squeezing 300,000 tons of pure water from them. After the water-type psychics turned black, he forced them to generate black water to use as weapons.
Lin Han had conducted experiments and found that when zombies came into contact with black water, they would be corroded by it instantly, while when humans came into contact with black water, their superpowers would be suppressed by it. Although water resources were in short supply after the mutation of water-based superpowers, who knew whether this was a blessing or a curse?
"Since you knew about this in advance, why didn't you tell me?" Zhang Lei frowned. His base No. 16 was also severely damaged, and he couldn't rush back to his base immediately.
It would be a lie to say that he was not worried about Base No. 16. After all, he had developed it bit by bit. The small team of more than ten people had grown several times in just two or three months.
"Your base is fine." Wan Youzhi smiled nonchalantly. There were only a few hundred people in Base No. 16, which was nothing. He invited Zhang Lei to join because he was attracted by Zhang Lei's special abilities.
Zhang Lei was dissatisfied, and it showed on his face without any concealment.
"Okay, after we take over Base No. 35, we will move your base here." Lin Han pretended to be a caring brother and soothed Zhang Lei's emotions.
"No rush." Zhang Lei smiled faintly.
Ruan Fanfan listened from the sidelines, feeling indignant for Zhang Lei. The man she admired was capable and resourceful, yet he still needed Lin Han's fake favors? Lin Han wanted to get rich overnight, but he might not have the ability. Ruan Fanfan truly couldn't understand why, in Wan Youzhi's vision of the future, Lin Han would become a powerful figure. Ruan Fanfan didn't see any trace of that future in Lin Han now.
Zhang Lei was also dissatisfied with Lin Han's words. His face was stern, but he was laughing wildly inwardly. To work for Lin Han? From the top to the third in command? Zhang Lei didn't want that. He had to find a way to protect his base while still benefiting from Wan Youzhi and Lin Han.
While Lin Han and Zhang Lei were talking, Wan Youzhi silently looked at the layout diagram of the God's Supermarket handed to him by Ruan Fanfan, as if thinking about something.
At this time in the God's Supermarket, everyone was surrounding Liu Xiaona and the black brothers.
Song Yuqing fed Liu Xiaona and the black brother tomatoes and cucumbers, but it didn't help. Gaha rubbed soap on them, but it didn't help. Little Meat Bun took two cups of water-based coffee, but it didn't help either. It remained black, the pure water still engulfed by the black venom.
"If you really can't think of a solution, just go to sleep first." Liu Xiaona yawned. He has a strong adaptability and has begun to accept that he will show his dark skin in the future.
"Master Fu, you are knowledgeable and powerful. You must know some way to make Liu Xiaona return to normal, right?" Song Yuqing prayed wholeheartedly.
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it." Master Fu was heartbroken that a water-type psychic had turned into a poison-type psychic. To comfort Song Yuqing, he even took the initiative to upgrade the shelves at the God's Supermarket. He was very considerate to do so.
Song Yuqing sighed deeply. The black brothers saw Song Yuqing talking to himself and thought that Song Yuqing was too nervous and even a little bit nervous.
"This is the problem you have to solve." Master Fu continued, "As long as you get through this level, there will be more difficulties to come."
Song Yuqing: ...
"So, Master Fu, do you know what will happen next?"
"Hmm." Master Fu agreed.
"Manager Song, who is the Mr. Fu you are talking about?" The black brother blinked his eyes, extremely curious.
"Tell him, Master Fu, that you are the god in the God's Supermarket." Master Fu chuckled.
Song Yuqing, Gaha and Liu Xiaona rolled their eyes at the same time.
Song Yuqing: "No one, a person who does not exist."
Just when Song Yuqing was about to give up on whitening Liu Xiaona, a beeping sound came from the computer.
A voice I haven't heard in a long time.
Song Yuqing rushed to the computer and saw a dialog box appeared on the screen, which was the customer service window of the online shopping platform.
[Nanjiao: Song Yuqing, has Liu Xiaona become darker?]
Song Yuqing was delighted. He had never thought that in the end times, voice communication could be achieved through the Internet. Liu Xiaona and Hei Ren also came to the computer curiously.
Gaha and Xiao Roubao, who are illiterate, also squeeze in front of the computer. It will be more lively if they squeeze together.
Song Yuqing was typing away on the keyboard.
[Yes, yes, yes, do you know what this is about? ]
The message from Nanjiao was not transmitted back immediately, and the words "the other party is typing" appeared above the chat box.
"They must have encountered water-type mutants who turned black in other places." Liu Xiaona guessed. He felt that his turning black was a global event and very serious.
“Ding ding~”
In the chat box, Nanjiao sent a long string of text.
The text begins with Nanjiao reporting safety. Pretentiously, Nanjiao tells Song Yuqing and Gaha not to worry about them, saying they've already arrived at Base 35, connected it to the internet, and installed security gates.
Everything seemed ready, only waiting for the right moment. Once the power system at Base 35 was repaired, the residents would be able to enjoy the joy of online shopping. Unexpectedly, the water-based psychics at the base woke up to find themselves completely black. One handsome man, horrified by his own transformation, unleashed his powers recklessly, causing the powers of those around him to malfunction. Chaos and panic reigned within the base.
[Do you know that the water produced by the blackened water-type esper is poisonous? Whoever the poisonous water sprays on will have their esper powers temporarily disappear.]
Now I know.
How terrifying!
Song Yuqing sighed. It seemed that Nanjiao just sent the message to confide in him.
[So, you guys don’t have any solution?]
I have learned all the information I need to know, and there is no solution for the time being, so I might as well go to bed.
Song Yuqing turned around to leave when another message came from Nanjiao.
No, we have a solution.
After this message came from Nanjiao, "The other party is typing" appeared above the chat box again.
Song Yuqing was excited and nervous, and felt that Nanjiao's typing speed was too slow.
"Drink some water?" Liu Xiaona was also very nervous, but she wanted to comfort Song Yuqing.
Song Yuqing looked at the water ball that Liu Xiaona handed over. Although he knew that the water ball was just taken from the shelf by Liu Xiaona, he still didn't take the water ball when he saw Liu Xiaona's black hands.
"No, just drink it."
Liu Xiaona obediently put the water ball into her mouth, feeling a little sad.
"Ding ding." A message came from Nanjiao.
[It's all thanks to Little Meat Bun! If it weren't for the Chinese tallow tree fruit Little Meat Bun gave us before he left, we wouldn't have found a solution!]
