Jiang Zhi sat leisurely on Wan Fu's lap, her relaxed demeanor a stark contrast to the disheveled state of Jiao Kuang and the others.
"You saved us! Thank you, you're amazing!" Liang Xiaodie got up and ran to Jiang Zhi, looking at her with starry eyes.
Jiang Zhi hadn't seen or spoken to anyone for many years, so this sudden conversation was quite unsettling.
In the beginning of the apocalypse, everything was in chaos. She had lived in seclusion for more than eight years. Judging from the girl's appearance, could it be that humans have all changed their nature in the face of natural disasters?
He has become so approachable.
"Hmph!" Wan Fu snorted, turned his face away, and looked at him with disdain.
Liang Xiaodie's lips twitched. Was she being looked down upon by a mutated beast?
"Are you from the Fuxi Base?" Jiang Zhi finally spoke after a long pause. Honestly, her speaking skills have deteriorated.
Wanfu is usually a chatterbox. Although she often argues with it, Wanfu is, after all, a cat, not a person.
"Yes, may I ask your name?"
“Jiang Zhi, this is my son Wanfu.” Jiang Zhi was still sitting on Wanfu’s shoulders, which gave Liang Xiaodie a superior position.
Her slightly husky, magnetic voice naturally carried an air of mystery, making Liang Xiaodie feel even more ethereal.
He seems to have the air of a hermit sage who lives in seclusion.
That's amazing.
"Let's go. If we don't leave now, the blood of the mutated octopus will attract a lot of mutated beasts, and it will be troublesome to leave later."
Jiang Zhi gestured for the others to lead the way.
Wang Bing restarted the robot, and the group sat on the boxes, secretly using the crystals to heal themselves. Green crystals were no longer as scarce as they had been at the beginning, which showed how powerful the mutated beasts were.
This mutated octopus is one of the most difficult mutated beasts to deal with. In addition, there are mutated electric eels, mutated squid, and other mutated beasts from shallow waters. These mutated beasts are the first to come ashore and cause great harm to survivors.
The fact that the Fuxi Base is located inland, and that such mutated beasts can be seen, indicates that the ocean has long since become a den of monsters.
After walking for two and a half hours, the group finally arrived at the entrance of a frozen iron building.
"Sister Jiang, this is the Fuxi Base. We're taking the robot with us to the mission office for handover. Xiao Die will accompany you to register your information," Zuo Xuan said to Jiang Zhi.
Jiang Zhi nodded.
Liang Xiaodie was very happy to be able to spend time with the big boss again; she felt as if her soul had been cleansed.
"Uncle Qin, this is Sister Jiang... She came to the Fuxi Base from elsewhere and needs to register her identity information." Liang Xiaodie was very familiar with the security guard at the gate; the superhuman surnamed Qin inside was her uncle.
The ability users at the Fuxi Base are divided into numerical levels, which is more complete than in the early post-apocalyptic period and was only promoted after the human communication system was reopened.
In fact, the human survivors' communication system was only restored a few months ago.
Jiang Zhi never went to the Fuxi Base in her previous life, so she didn't know about this.
Uncle Qin is a level 5 fire-type ability user. This ability is mainly for attack, so he was assigned to guard the gate, which is actually the base's first line of defense.
In addition to this outer defensive line, the base has three other lines of defense.
Jiang Zhi took out her old identity card from the Shuofang base. Because it was placed in the time-stop zone, it remained unchanged even after many years.
However, this type of magnetic card has long been obsolete.
Qin Haidong looked at the card from left to right and felt that it was not a recent product.
"Did Miss Jiang Zhi travel all this way alone?"
"Yes, and my son too."
"ah?"
Jiang Zhi pointed at Wanfu and said, "My cat."
"You can actually afford to keep a cat?" Qin Haidong asked in surprise. However, he seemed to recall someone who had a cat a long time ago.
Hmm, I can't remember who it was.
"Newcomers to the base, hand over 20 blue crystals, or 10 green crystals, or even 1 gold crystal."
Jiang Zhi lacks nothing, especially crystals; she has practically collected all the crystals in the entire plateau.
The lowest-level mutated beasts produce red crystals, the mid-level ones produce blue crystals, the mid-to-high-level mutated beasts produce green crystals, the high-level ones produce gold crystals, and the highest-level ones produce transparent crystals.
Jiang Zhi learned that the levels of mutated beasts had been standardized after communication was restored: level 1-2 mutated beasts produce red crystals, level 2-3 mutated beasts produce blue crystals, level 4-5 mutated beasts produce green crystals, level 6-9 mutated beasts produce gold crystals, and level 10 and above produce white crystals.
The mutated octopus we encountered today was in a terrible state; it was instantly obliterated by Jiang Zhi, leaving not a trace. It was probably a golden crystal, which was also vaporized.
Jiang Zhi took out a golden crystal. She was venturing into an unfamiliar base alone, and of course, the more conspicuous she was, the better.
Qin Haidong was excited. This girl with the cat was wielding a golden crystal with a wave of her hand, indicating that her superpower level was at least level eight.
The levels of superhumans range from 1 to 12, but none have reached level 12 yet. The highest-level superhuman at the Fuxi Base is General Huo Xi, known as the God of War. He possesses both lightning and fire superhuman abilities and is currently leading his army to fight mutated beasts outside.
She also had to register her abilities. Jiang Zhi registered spatial abilities and ice abilities. Dual-type abilities are not uncommon; on the contrary, there are many dual-type ability users in the Fuxi Base.
"Miss Jiang, how big is your space exactly?"
“Five square meters,” Jiang Zhi said.
Qin Haidong sighed. "Alas, what a pity. The space is too small to participate in the collection of supplies."
Five square meters isn't even enough to hold my own things, so how can there be any gaps to put other supplies? There's not even enough space to fit a mutated beast's corpse.
Qin Haidong gave Jiang Zhi a tag with engraved patterns, which felt like rubber and contained a chip with newly recorded information inside.
Then Liang Xiaodie took her to get checked out. After Wanfu shrank, she nestled in Jiang Zhi's arms, so Qin Haidong did not suspect Wanfu.
"The ability level assessment was first created by the Fuxi Base. Sister Jiang probably hasn't heard of it yet," Liang Xiaodie explained to Jiang Zhi as they walked.
"Um."
"Our Fuxi Base is the last sanctuary for humanity. In recent days, survivors from many other bases have been flocking here. The Fuxi Base is divided into six areas: the residential area for ordinary people, the residential area for people with superpowers, the official office area, the experimental area, the garrison area, and the warehouse. In addition, there are four security lines outside the base, which monitor the movements of mutated beasts in real time every day in order to defend against attacks from mutated beasts, especially beast tides!"
“Every time a beast tide comes, we suffer heavy losses. If it weren’t for the timely predictions of the psychic ability users, we would have almost had our three lines of defense breached by the mutated beasts several times.”
When the topic of the beast tide came up, Liang Xiaodie became depressed.
Her parents both died because of the beast tide.
Following the staff's instructions, Jiang Zhi used her supernatural abilities to strike an energy plate.
This energy plate is powered by crystals and uses special patterns to record the strength of the superpowered individual's abilities, thereby determining their level.
Jiang Zhi casually threw out a bunch of ice arrows, turning the energy plate into a hedgehog.
The staff were stunned.
