Chapter 24 Sending 'People'.
Four people sitting around a table eating hot pot together—this was an experience Mo Xiu hadn't had in her previous life after the apocalypse.
After the meal, Cheng Cheng prepared fruit, making the meal even more satisfying. I never imagined that I could have such a carefree time in my second life.
Especially with Mo Qi by his side, he tasted a sense of happiness and warmth.
Looking at the dim yellow sky outside the window, Mo Xiu couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.
Unfortunately, they are currently at the Shanhe Base, a place they have absolutely no liking for.
Besides seeking revenge, Mo Xiu naturally had other purposes in coming here. That was the opportunity to enhance his supernatural abilities that he had encountered in his previous life, which he was determined to obtain in this life as well.
Only by possessing true strength can they live better in the apocalypse.
Mo Xiu still remembers his most important opportunity, which was when he and his team went out to find supplies and they unexpectedly encountered a group of zombies.
To cover the team's escape, Mo Xiu acted as bait. After a difficult escape, they encountered a mutated gray wolf.
The mutated gray wolf was enormous. He almost exhausted his powers to kill it, but he was also covered in wounds as a result.
After Mo Xiu finally regained some strength, she also felt extremely hungry.
He immediately started a fire, deciding to eat the gray wolf. While processing the wolf meat, he discovered a strange golden sphere inside the wolf's stomach.
Mo Xiu later learned that it was probably the core of a mutated animal, which was extremely rare and had a magical effect on enhancing superpowers.
As luck would have it, the gray wolf's core resonated with his supernatural ability. Almost instinctively, he absorbed the core, immediately feeling the energy surge and fainting from the pain.
When she woke up again, Mo Xiu's lightning-type ability had already reached the peak of level four.
From this perspective, finding that gray wolf is the key to rapidly increasing one's superpower level.
On the other hand, after Xu Liang offered the benefits, he noticed that Mo Xiu hadn't made any moves for several days and sensed that something was wrong.
Judging from this, this person probably never intended to sincerely surrender to him, and is even more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
However, Xu Liang did not intend to give up so easily. He had someone find the people from Mo Xiu's previous team and inquire about the specific circumstances at the time.
Coincidentally, the person he found was the old man who had been taught a lesson by Mo Xiu before. Ever since the old man first pushed his wife out to block the zombies, the old woman hadn't paid much attention to him.
On the way there, the older woman could tolerate him to some extent, but once she entered the base and realized that the older man was unreliable, she simply stopped pretending.
Thanks to her excellent cooking skills, the woman found a job in the cafeteria, leaving the elderly man who loved to educate others all alone.
He was physically weaker than young people and had no special abilities. In the apocalypse, who would really listen to his preaching and moral blackmail? So, he could only live a miserable life, sometimes not knowing where his next meal would come from.
The old man was quite nervous when he heard that the second-in-command of the base was looking for him, but he immediately perked up when he heard that the other party wanted to inquire about things related to Mo Xiu.
The old man felt that his current predicament was all caused by Mo Xiu. If Mo Xiu had taken good care of them and prevented them from going out to find supplies, he wouldn't have fallen out with his wife and ended up in this situation.
Without a second thought, the old man launched into a tirade against Mo Xiu, portraying him as a bully who used his special abilities to oppress others at will.
As for Mo Qi, the old man described him as a pretty boy kept by Mo Xiu because of his good looks.
"You have no idea, that Mo Xiu is a complete pervert. She doesn't like perfectly good girls, but insists on liking men. What else can she be but a pervert?"
The old man spoke with great enthusiasm, trying every possible way to speak ill of Mo Xiu.
The same things kept repeating themselves, and Xu Liang was getting annoyed. Knowing that the other party wouldn't say anything new, Xu Liang had someone throw two steamed buns at the old man and send him away.
"Brother Xu, do you think what that old man said could be true? We saw Mo Xiu before, is he really that kind of person? I don't think he seems like it." Bian Tai was somewhat skeptical of the old man's words.
Xu Liang smiled slightly upon hearing this: "You can know a person's face but not their heart. How can you tell from appearances? Besides, if Mo Xiu is really that kind of person, it's not so bad. Greed and laziness make one easier to buy off."
"Didn't that person just say that besides being diligent in caring for his kept man, Mo Xiu does almost nothing else?"
Thinking of Mo Qi's face, Xu Liang admitted that the other party did indeed have the qualities to be taken in and kept.
However, since they were picked up along the way and didn't have any deeper connection, it proves that there wasn't a solid relationship between them.
More likely, Mo Xiu is simply a womanizer. And he treats his lover very well, which is why he takes such good care of her.
But even such lovers eventually grow tired of each other. If you just give it to the right person and let them whisper sweet nothings in Mo Xiu's ear, it will definitely be twice as effective.
Thinking that he had grasped Mo Xiu's weakness, Xu Liang immediately asked Bian Tai to find a few good-looking men and led them to Mo Xiu's residence.
When she opened the door and saw a group of all sorts of men gathered around it, Mo Xiu was a little stunned.
Not only was he confused, but Cheng Cheng, who was busy massaging his older brother's legs in the room, was also confused.
Since Cheng Cheng was rescued, he has been behaving very well, especially in his dedication to Mo Qi, which Mo Xiu greatly appreciates.
So, Mo Xiu shared some of her experience in cultivating supernatural abilities that she had accumulated in her previous life with the other person.
Cheng Cheng was overjoyed. He was already exceptionally talented in supernatural abilities; otherwise, he wouldn't have become a powerful figure in his previous life. However, he hadn't been able to figure it out before and didn't know how to cultivate it.
With Mo Xiu's guidance, Cheng Cheng's superpower has broken through to level two in the past few days.
This made Cheng Cheng extremely happy, so he served Mo Qi even more diligently on a daily basis. He wished he could stay there 24 hours a day, seizing every opportunity to show off.
But what's going on now? Why did this person suddenly bring over several greasy-looking weaklings? It's obvious that these people can't do any heavy work, and none of them have any special abilities.
Were they sent here to be their servants, to serve tea and water?
He can understand sending one or two, but sending four or five at once is impossible; there's not enough room for them all.
Besides, isn't it enough for the boss to have someone else take care of things like serving tea and water?
If they come, what will he do? He'll have one less chance to show his loyalty.
Mo Qi quickly grasped Xu Liang's intention; he had encountered similar situations many times when he was the Demon Lord.
When they first arrived at the base, Mo Qi knew that Mo Xiu's dual-elemental abilities would likely cause some trouble. He hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.
Seeing those men dressed in flamboyant clothes, striking poses in front of Mo Xiu, Mo Qi's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
I finally have a decent meal ticket, but why are all the others eyeing it?
