Chapter 210 Superpowers
“It was just over two years ago that construction suddenly started here.
The altitude here was already high enough, and it was deliberately raised a lot, and all the materials used were of good quality.
I originally thought that we were going to build a big factory, but we ended up creating a city. It was surrounded by high walls, so we couldn't see what was inside. As time went by, we gradually stopped caring about it.
It was not until the heavy rains began, the city was paralyzed, and the survivors were received here that we realized that this was a preparation made in advance..."
When he spoke to the end, Chang Cheng's voice was much lower.
Although there was no one around, Zhang Cheng was still alert and careful. "Don't blame me for being nervous. Although these are things that everyone knows, and most people know about them, they are still not allowed to be discussed openly."
Nan Ci nodded to show his understanding.
The construction of this base began more than two years ago, which shows that the disaster was more or less predicted.
They knew that a disaster was about to happen, but they did not announce it. If such a thing were made public, it would likely be made into a big deal by those with ulterior motives, which would be detrimental to the stability of the base.
"Go on." Nan Ci said.
Zhang Cheng organized his words a little, and then continued, "Although the base was built before the natural disaster, it is very different from the city we lived in before.
In the past, although there were differences between the rich and the poor, fortunately there were laws and regulations, but now...
Look at me, you all know all this even if I don’t tell you.”
Nan Ci was not interested in listening to this and asked directly, "Who is the person in charge of the base?"
“Our base is quite special, and currently there are three forces standing side by side.
Although it is under official overall management, the influence of several major families is considerable and they are not subject to the constraints of the base.
On the other side are some mercenary teams, which also represent the survivors who have no foundation, no power, and no influence. But they are not ordinary people, and they are not the same as me. They are the existence that we can only look up to...
No, no, no, I was wrong. You two are the ones I cannot look up to. You two are amazing!"
Nan Ci didn't care about Zhang Cheng's flattery.
It is normal for Zhang Cheng, a smooth-talking man, to flatter others without making a sound.
Nan Ci was interested in the mercenary team that Zhang Cheng mentioned.
Nan Ci then looked at Zhang Cheng with interest, "You said that the people in the mercenary team are not ordinary people. How are they extraordinary?"
Zhang Cheng did not answer immediately, but looked around vigilantly.
The cautious look was even more exaggerated than when he just talked about the origin of the base.
Seeing Zhang Cheng like this, Nan Ci became more and more curious.
Could it be that this so-called mercenary team is more mysterious and important than the base?
The more this happened, the more curious Nan Ci became.
Fortunately, although Zhang Cheng's appearance was a bit exaggerated, he was not trying to be mysterious.
Without waiting for Nan Ci to ask again, he spoke in a low voice.
“Although they are both mercenary teams, to be precise, they can be divided into two parts.
Some of them are ordinary people with good skills and courage.
Some of them are people with super powers."
Nan Ci narrowed his eyes slightly, and subconsciously lowered his voice, "Superpower?"
Zhang Cheng was obviously excited, his face flushed, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement and yearning.
"Yes! They are people with super powers! Just like in the movies, they are really amazing!"
Nan Ci patiently listened to Zhang Cheng's boasting, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear the key point, so he could only ask himself, "What is it like in the movies?"
"that is--"
It can be seen that Zhang Cheng really wanted to explain, but he couldn't put the point clearly, and he was scratching his head in anxiety.
Looking at Zhang Cheng like this, Nan Ci sighed slightly in his heart.
It turned out that her expectations of Zhang Cheng were too high.
Although Zhang Cheng is smooth and clever, his status is too low and he has access to too few people and things, so it is normal that he does not know enough.
After figuring it out, Nan Ci stopped making things difficult for Zhang Cheng and only sighed, "People like them should be living well in the base!"
"That's more than good, that's very good!"
Obviously, Zhang Cheng was very familiar with this point and started talking incessantly again.
According to Zhang Cheng, those with super powers have an extraordinary status in the base.
No matter what their previous identities or educational backgrounds were, as long as they were people with super powers, they would now eat well, live well, and any good things would be supplied to them first.
Even their family members were enlightened and ascended to heaven.
Not only does the mercenary team have people with super powers, but there are also people with super powers in the official and large families, and the number of people with super powers in the three parties is equal, which is why a three-way situation has been formed.
Nan Ci had almost understood everything he needed to know, and the waiter came over to deliver the dishes.
As soon as the food was served, the aroma immediately filled the air around the group of people.
Nan Ci stared at the food on the table. It looked good, with good color and aroma, but he didn’t know how it would taste.
After taking a look for two seconds, Nan Ci looked towards Zhang Cheng opposite him, and saw Zhang Cheng staring at the food on the table with shining eyes, his mouth moving constantly, and he was almost drooling.
Seeing how greedy he was, Nan Ci sighed inwardly and said softly, "The food has already been served, so don't let it get cold, eat it quickly."
Zhang Cheng felt a little embarrassed. "Why don't I just not eat it? This thing is quite expensive..."
Hearing this, Nan Ci deliberately frowned, "I already said I would treat you to a meal, and now you don't want to eat, don't I become someone who goes back on my word?"
"That's not what I meant..."
"Since that's not what you mean, then eat quickly."
“This… okay!”
Zhang Cheng's words seemed a little awkward, but he was not slow at all in picking up the food with chopsticks.
Watching him devour the food in no time, Nan Ci and the old Taoist priest looked at each other, then picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
As soon as the food entered his mouth, Nan Ci realized that both the meat and vegetables had been refrigerated for a long time and did not taste that fresh.
Even though a lot of ingredients are used and the chef’s skills are very good, the taste of the dishes is still greatly compromised.
People like Nan Ci and the old Taoist priest who have no worries about food and drink naturally have no interest in such meals.
However, in order to avoid Zhang Cheng's suspicion, the two of them did not put down their chopsticks and just ate slowly.
At this moment, Zhang Cheng only had eyes for the table full of food and had no time to observe Nan Ci and the old Taoist priest.
At times like this, Zhang Cheng's defense and vigilance were at their lowest.
Nan Ci stuffed another piece of food into his mouth, chewed it for a few times, and asked casually, "I see that the living environment inside the base is very good. Why do so many people still live outside the base and don't come inside?"
