"Wow! What a haul today! We actually caught a big one." Xu Liang exclaimed in amazement as he looked at the mutated fire fox that Xu Anran had dragged back.
Xu Anran pointed behind her and said, "There are even more powerful ones ahead."
Immediately afterwards, Xu Liang saw Su Shuzhi, like a skilled conductor, controlling six or seven mutated beasts, carrying or dragging the corpses of a dozen or so mutated beasts. The scene was like a magnificent feast, with dust rising wherever they went, a truly grand spectacle.
People on the roadside turned their gazes in this direction, all of them deeply impressed! Even people from the base came specifically to watch.
They had captured a large number of mutated beasts in the past few days, which had already attracted the attention of the base, which came to recruit them. They were very cooperative and willing to cooperate with the base.
Looking at this spectacular scene, Xu Liang exclaimed sincerely, "Brother, you are truly amazing! No wonder you are a renowned puppeteer in the advanced world, your reputation is well-deserved!"
Although Su Shuzhi appeared calm on the surface, he was actually already holding his head high inside. "How about that? Pretty awesome, huh? Need an evaluation? Someone like me doesn't need an evaluation! Do you know I'm a one-man army? Do you know how many teams want me to join? I don't even bother with them!"
He gave Xu Liang a cold nod and said, "Brother Liang, I'm going to turn in my mission now. We'll talk when I get back." He waved and coolly controlled the mutated beast to leave.
Upon arriving at the exchange counter, he saw Xu Anran just coming out and immediately greeted her warmly. Luckily, Xu Liang didn't see this, or he would definitely have called him a lackey.
"Boss, are you done?"
Xu Anran smiled and nodded: "I'm done. I'm going to the lab to find Luo Xi now. See you when I get back."
As Xu Anran walked away, the mournful ghost in the jade pendant stretched out half its body, looking at Su Shuzhi who was still standing there: "She's gone far away now. Even if you were watching, she wouldn't know, and she wouldn't let you join the team directly! Hurry up and get to work!"
The person introduced by the ghost bride is indeed very strong, but sometimes he seems a bit slow on the uptake, and sometimes he likes to chuckle to himself, I don't know what he's secretly enjoying.
"Okay." Su Shuzhi rolled his eyes and entered the exchange hall.
The staff inside saw him and immediately trotted over eagerly, glanced outside, and bowed and scraped: "Brother Su is here! You've got a lot of goods today!"
He pointed to a few people: "Go out and move the goods and quickly settle the points for Brother Su so he can redeem things."
This wasn't Su Shuzhi's first visit. The first time he came, the staff here were all astonished when they saw the prey he brought.
The shock they experienced that time was indescribable. From then on, the people in charge became increasingly attentive to their team, especially Su Shuzhi, who always brought the most prey.
After counting and exchanging his points, Su Shuzhi went to the lobby window and used his points to exchange for ten 100-cubic-meter space buttons, two energy aircraft, and the unique energy liquid here. One energy liquid can replace a day's food intake.
Xu Anran went to the laboratory to find Luo Xi, and she sat in the lobby waiting for Luo Xi to come over.
After meeting with the leaders of this base, one of the requirements for reaching a cooperation agreement was that Luo Xi join the laboratory here and participate in experiments.
Of course, she cannot participate in some important confidential projects, but she can prepare the materials herself, and be given a separate laboratory and equipment so that she can conduct research independently.
Moreover, she can access some publicly available information.
The laboratory here is quite advanced, mainly using energy stones to provide the necessary energy to the equipment.
Xu Anran and his team usually dissect most of the prey they hunt outside, keeping the energy stones for themselves and bringing the carcasses and a small portion of the intact prey back to the base to exchange for some local specialties they need.
Luo Xi came over wearing a white lab coat, looking quite like a researcher.
She took Xu Anran to the cafeteria, where everyone was very welcoming to her, and passersby greeted them.
After finding the location, I got two staff meals. In this world, the only people who can eat normal food are the high-level leaders and the people in the research institute. Everyone else can only drink energy liquids to fill their stomachs.
Xu Anran and Luo Xi found a corner to eat and chat.
"How's it going here? Any progress?"
Luo Xi took a bite of food, then frowned: "There hasn't been any progress yet. I plan to store up more energy stones so I can come back and leave this place and continue my experiments."
Xu Anran comforted her, "Take it slow. After all, things like bringing the dead back to life can't be that simple."
After she finished speaking, she noticed Luo Xi looking at her strangely. Thinking about her situation, she coughed awkwardly, "Um, I'm different..."
Luo Xi didn't dwell on Xu Anran's words. She continued, "Although there's still no progress on the matter of reviving Ya Ya, I've discovered something interesting."
"Oh? What is it?" Judging from Luo Xi's expression, Xu Anran knew it couldn't be anything good.
Luo Xi looked around and whispered, "They're conducting human superpower experiments here."
"But don't the people here have superpowers?"
"They want to give superpowers to those who don't already have them, while also enhancing their own superpowers. But that's not the main point. Recently, I also discovered that they specifically target mutants to conduct experiments here." Luo Xi said with a chuckle, but his tone was different from his facial expression, filled with sarcasm.
Xu Anran said with some concern, "Then you have to be careful, don't get caught."
Don't worry!
In the afternoon, Xu Anran went hunting in the vicinity again. They had almost cleared the area around the base, and it seemed that they would be going to explore more distant places in the future.
In the evening, instead of returning to the villas provided by the base, they first found an empty house in the slums outside to discuss matters.
Xu Anran told everyone about Luo Xi's discoveries in the laboratory. Uncle Li, who had been spending most of his time hunting and exploring the base, also mentioned his discovery of numerous underground exchanges within the base.
Through his research, Fan Yunfei discovered that the communication equipment here is connected to many external bases, and that these bases are all managed and planned using artificial intelligence.
Based on the intelligence gathered by everyone, it can be concluded that the bases in this world are not simple, and there is more than one force here. There should also be underground forces and some organizations that they are unaware of.
After everyone finished organizing the information, they dispersed and returned to the villa one after another.
When they moved to the base, they checked and found that the villas they were assigned all had surveillance and listening devices, so they would discuss and hold meetings together when they went out.
