Chapter 179 We Want to Sell
The entire shantytown resembled an African refugee camp, with very few people outside. Only a few people were outside, wearing tattered, blood-stained thick clothes, shivering with their arms folded.
Despite wearing layers of clothing, one could still see from their sunken cheeks that these people were emaciated, with large heads and small bodies, like the special effects of a bobblehead doll. Coupled with their numb and lifeless eyes, they looked quite terrifying.
Passing through the shantytown, a stench wafted over, and the sound of coughing was even more frightening, as if there was some kind of virus that could infect you just by listening to it.
Seeing Pei Yi and the others looking at the dilapidated shantytown, Yu Linjiang explained, "The base is currently relocating, and we don't have much time to find places with plenty of housing. We can only guarantee accommodation for the ability users."
Moreover, they were heading to remote areas, where there were even fewer houses available. It was already quite good that they could guarantee that people with superpowers would have a place to stay.
Yu Linjiang wanted the survivors to move to the same building as the superhumans, since there were still extra rooms available. It would be better for the survivors to squeeze in some rooms than to live outside.
However, these superhumans refused to live in the same building as the lowly survivors, and some of the management also disagreed. Ultimately, he was a nobody and had no say, so for the sake of the base's survival, he had no choice but to endure it.
Pei Xiu couldn't help but ask, "What if it hailed? Wouldn't these survivors die?"
“Running fast won’t work.” Yu Linjiang pointed to a house next to the shantytown that was only partially visible with walls on all four sides and said, “That’s considered a safe zone. The walls are made of steel and are very sturdy.”
The temporary residence at the Star Base didn't have as many buildings as other bases; it was basically a shantytown with two buildings about fifty meters apart.
There were quite a few people patrolling, after all, this temporary base didn't even have a wall, so they had to monitor for any danger at all times.
Upon entering the building, we found it to be relatively small, with only seven floors.
Since the elevator was out of service, the group climbed the stairs to the fourth floor, and then Yu Linjiang led them into one of the rooms.
Inside, there was a long conference table, while the living room was furnished with sofas and coffee tables. The doors and windows were closed, and charcoal was burning on an oven.
Yu Linjiang asked Ling Ran and the others to sit down, and then instructed the people following behind him to make tea.
Ling Ran and Pei Yi sat down, and the others, seeing that there weren't enough seats on the sofa, stood behind Ling Ran.
Yu Linjiang said, "Miss Ling and Mr. Pei, if you are cold, you can warm yourselves by the fire."
"Thanks."
After thanking him, Pei Yi got straight to the point: "Deputy Manager Yu, I'll be frank. The reason I came here is because I accidentally obtained the evolution fluid that your base sells."
"You want to buy it?" Yu Linjiang's eyes lit up.
"No, we want to sell."
"Sell?" Yu Linjiang was a little confused: "Where did you get your evolution fluid?"
As far as he knew, only Hope Base in the south had developed the evolution fluid. He wasn't sure about the north, since it was too far away and he hadn't had the time or opportunity to contact them.
Pei Yi didn't answer his question. Instead, he asked him, "You bought the evolution fluid from Hope Base, so you should know that this evolution fluid has side effects, right?"
Yu Linjiang's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly covered it up: "What are you talking about? I don't understand. How could evolution fluid have side effects! Where did Mr. Pei hear such rumors?"
