Chapter 431 Factions
“However, this base seems to be divided into two factions,” Gu Zijing added.
They were unaware of the specifics; this conclusion was based on their inquiries and analysis.
"Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own, and it's normal for factions to exist within that world." Five people can even create six groups.
"Anyway, it's none of our business."
Ling Ran ate the famous shrimp dumplings and nodded slightly: "This is not bad, and these other dim sum dishes are also quite good."
"I'm glad you like it, sir." Uncle Chen smiled.
After finishing breakfast, Ling Ran decided to go out for a stroll.
Pei Xiu and the others wanted to follow, but she sent them away. She then took Su Yimo with her, who was quite smug and secretly stuck her tongue out at Pei Xiu from an angle where Ling Ran couldn't see.
This area around Building 4 is basically a residential area for people with superpowers. It takes quite a long walk to get out. Ling Ran didn't have anywhere she wanted to go, so she randomly chose a place to go in the opposite direction from where she came last night.
Su Yimo looked at the buildings in front of her and said, "There should be three buildings over here, right?"
“It does seem a bit better than Building 4.” Ling Ran nodded. “Building 2 should be just ahead.”
After walking five or six hundred meters, an angry male voice rang out: "...So this is the saint!"
The sound came from around a corner, in the direction Ling Ran and the others were heading. Ling Ran paused slightly.
At this moment, a woman's voice rang out: "How am I a saint? I have the ability, I saved people, and they weren't bad people. That's called kindness! Saving people without the ability, without distinguishing right from wrong, but without implicating others, that's called being a saint! Saving people without the ability, without distinguishing right from wrong, implicating others, and being generous with other people's money, that's called being a hypocrite!"
"Okay, okay, you're not a saint, you're kind! But do you think kindness is necessary in the apocalypse? Even saving people before the apocalypse left you covered in blood, let alone after the apocalypse."
"I told you, I only saved them within my capabilities!"
"Anyway, I don't think it's necessary. Whether you have the ability or not, you don't need to help others. You'll drag our whole team down sooner or later if you do this."
The woman sneered, "No one else said anything, but you have a problem with it? Fine, we're not on the same page, I'm leaving!"
"Whatever, whoever you want."
The male voice said something, and the footsteps faded away, followed by a female voice venting her frustration: "Fuck his ass!"
After a short while, the girl seemed to calm down: "Who's there?"
Ling Ran stopped walking and continued forward. The girl also came out from around the corner, and the two met.
The girl looked to be around 27 or 28 years old, with her hair cut to ear length, wearing simple shorts and a T-shirt, and her skin was somewhat dark.
Ling Ran explained, "Just passing by."
The girl nodded without saying anything.
Ling Ran walked past her and then went to observe the second building. As for the first building, there were people patrolling it, and people were not allowed to enter.
However, it is clear that the house is quite nice, with both villas and apartments. The villa's yard is planted with flowers, the branches of which extend beyond the wall, making it very beautiful.
On the way back, the sun was getting quite strong, so Su Yimo immediately took out an umbrella from her bag and held it for Ling Ran.
"The house in the building is really beautiful."
"Um."
"However, speaking of this Phoenix Base, it seems I don't know anything about you, sir."
Previously, wherever I went to a base, I was always greeted by the base commander, but not at Phoenix Base.
Ling Ran didn't seem to mind: "It's normal. There was an earthquake at Nirvana, so they probably didn't have time to inform us."
"I forgot about that. It's just that it's been hard on you, sir, living in that dilapidated house."
"fine."
"Would you like to go and take a look at the market, sir?"
"Um."
The two walked back for about half an hour before finally leaving the residential area for people with superpowers.
On the wide road, many people from the base came and went, and when they saw Ling Ran and Su Yimo, they couldn't help but stare at them.
Beautiful women dressed in glamorous clothes are a rare sight in the apocalypse.
After exiting Building 6, there's a row of streets opposite, which is the base's market, with canteens, restaurants, and shops.
To the east of the street are places like the mission hall, and beyond the street is the shantytown.
The shantytown covers a very large area, almost a third of the entire base. After all, out of more than 30,000 people, at least 25,000 should be ordinary people.
The market was crowded. Ling Ran and Su Yimo were walking when Su Yimo suddenly tugged at Ling Ran's arm and said, "My lord, look, isn't that Wei Wan and the others?"
Ling Ran looked over and saw Wei Wan and Xiang Yi just coming out of the mission hall. There were quite a few of them, about seven or eight people, and one of the men was clearly the leader.
The two looked up and saw Ling Ran not far away. They then said something to the leader, and Wei Houwan and Xiang Yi immediately ran over.
"Sir, I've come over to say hello."
"Hmm." Ling Ran gestured with her chin towards those people and asked, "What's going on here?"
"I came over to the mission hall and accepted a mission."
"Okay, go ahead."
"Then we'll be going now."
Ling Ran responded, watching Wei Wan and Xiang Yi run back, then met the gaze of the leader.
The man looked to be around forty years old, about 1.65 meters tall, wearing shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, with a stubble beard. When Ling Ran met his gaze, the man revealed a lewd smile.
Su Yimo was immediately disgusted when she saw it: "Damn, what kind of eyes does that man have?"
Ling Ran ignored the man: "Let's go, let's go into the market and have a look around."
"Um."
Su Yimo knew that there was nothing she could do about it. In fact, besides that man, there were many other people looking at her like that, but none of them were as bold as this man.
If it were truly a matter of killing, it would be impossible to kill them all.
Nothing else happened. I browsed the market and shops, but there wasn't much to buy; Ling Ran had everything they sold there.
Ling Ran wondered how many points she could get if she settled down in a base someday and exchanged the supplies in her space for them.
Back in Building 4, Pei Xiu and the others were getting massages in the massage chairs, while Uncle Chen and Liu Xiuping were busy in the kitchen, the aroma filling the entire house.
"Sis, you're back! Was it fun outside?"
"It's not fun." Ling Ran shrugged and said, "It's no different from other bases, it's boring."
"Did you go to that paradise for superhumans?"
"A paradise for superpowered individuals? What's that?"
Gu Zijing flipped through the book in her hand and said, "I heard this this morning that a street has been built not far from the mission hall, and it has all kinds of entertainment."
"For example?"
"Gambling, prostitution, massage and foot baths, etc., which were not allowed before."
"Not interested."
As they were talking, several voices came from outside the door. Since the door was not closed, the people standing outside could be seen at a glance.
The visitors were four men. Upon seeing them, Pei Yi went out and asked, "Who are you?"
The man at the front showed his pass, which had his name on it: Jia Weiqiang, Class 7.
