Chapter 76 They currently have plenty of food, absolutely...
It took the members of the superpowered team a while to react and process what Liang You said; their faces were filled with disbelief.
"Boss, is this for real? Are you kidding us?" Zhang Jian asked.
This sounds like a lie no matter how you look at it.
Liang You showed them the base's communicator, and everyone's expressions immediately turned serious.
"No, we absolutely cannot send Sheng Hui back to the base. I disagree. If we really send her back, the consequences are unimaginable."
The first to object was Yuan Wu. He had been saved by Sheng Hui. If Sheng Hui hadn't stopped him, he would have fallen into the zombie horde long ago. He would either have been infected and mutated, or he would have had to self-destruct and perish together with the zombies.
Anyway, he disagreed with sending Sheng Hui back.
“It’s their problem if they drink human blood, we’re not those beasts.”
Tao Min also stood up, "I disagree too. The base will definitely arrest Sheng Hui for research."
Zhang Jian and Hu Lai exchanged a glance. "Don't look at us like that. We don't drink human blood. I'm just quite shocked."
Since it was the first time Zhang Jian had heard of such a thing, he still suspected that the captain was just teasing them.
Hu Lai said, "Given the current situation, this news has already spread. Whether it's true or false, some people will believe it. Boss, if we don't go back to the base, where can we go now?"
Liang You pursed her lips and remained silent, mainly because she didn't know what the current situation was.
If the person behind it were to reveal Sheng Hui's appearance, their path forward would become even more difficult.
However, the fact that the team members were able to work together made Liang You breathe a sigh of relief.
Their decision not to return to Base Three already signifies the start of their escape, and the journey is unlikely to be peaceful.
Professor Lin said, "Why don't we go back? The school's labs are more suitable for my research."
“But what about the school…” Liang You was worried that the school’s protective equipment was inadequate.
Professor Lin laughed and said, "The base didn't just appear out of nowhere; everyone built it later. We might just be able to build our own safe base."
Everyone's eyes lit up. "That's right! Instead of fleeing, why don't we build a base, centered around Professor Lin's laboratory?"
Once things are out in the open, everything else becomes easier.
Sheng Hui is their teammate, and no matter what, they will not abandon her.
After discussing their plan, Liang You quickly led everyone to set off, preparing to return to the school.
Before leaving, Liang You destroyed the communicator. These bases' communicators all had GPS tracking, and it would be troublesome if the bases found them.
They then checked everyone again to see if they had anything related to the base, in case they were located and couldn't escape the base's pursuit.
Liang You guessed that the base would definitely not reveal Sheng Hui's information. They wanted to keep Sheng Hui for themselves and even wanted to use Sheng Hui's special physique to deal with zombies.
Even if people at other bases receive the news, they may not be able to find them as quickly as possible.
Currently, the situation is not that bad.
After checking and confirming that there were no major problems, everyone set off with peace of mind.
Everyone was happy at the thought of them establishing their own base.
Sheng Hui nestled beside her mother. When she looked up, she saw Professor Lin looking at her. When their eyes met, Professor Lin smiled at her.
Seeing Sheng Hui point to her head, Professor Lin nodded slightly.
Seeing that it was as she had sensed, Sheng Hui felt relieved.
She and her mother held hands tightly.
I've never asked my mother if she has the same constitution as me. If she does, does she also have the same superpowers as me?
Sheng Hui investigated, but found nothing.
It seems that Mom really didn't awaken any superpowers.
Sheng Hui held her mother's hand. Even without superpowers, she could help her mother activate them.
I sensed a faint fluctuation of supernatural power in my mother's body. I knew that if she could improve herself, she could definitely become a powerful supernatural being.
Xiang Bei also gave Sheng Hui a Power Pill. Originally, Xiang Bei thought that since Sheng Hui was a superhuman, she definitely wouldn't need this.
Superpowers are far more effective than magic pills. Instead of taking magic pills, it's better to improve your own superpowers.
Seeing how worried she was about her mother, Xiang Bei gave her a "power pill." After learning about the pill's effects, Sheng Hui immediately put it in water.
The pill dissolved immediately upon contact with water, and there were no unusual symptoms.
Sheng Hui herself doesn't need this thing right now, but she's happy to give it to her mother. Knowing that her mother has the power to protect herself puts her at ease.
Ji Yu drank the water her daughter handed her and smiled, "Did you put sugar in it? Why does it taste so sweet?"
"It must be because Mom felt sweet when she saw me that even the water tasted sweet," Sheng Hui said with a smile, hugging her mother.
Looking at her daughter's appearance, Ji Yu felt a pang of heartache.
Both she and Lao Sheng were intellectuals, so their daughter had always been very calm and composed. She never expected her daughter to become so sweet-talking.
This is something she should be happy about, but thinking about the changes her daughter went through to be like this, she only felt sorry for her.
Especially in the current situation, she is like a cake that everyone covets, and everyone wants to have her.
But she knew very well in her heart what kind of inhuman torture her daughter would suffer if she really fell into the hands of those people.
Ji Yu felt very fortunate that her daughter had such a group of friends.
She also felt resentment, resentment at herself for not awakening her superpowers so that she could protect their daughter with Lao Sheng.
Perhaps it was because the hatred she felt for her own incompetence was too strong, Ji Yu seemed to notice some changes in her body.
She felt as if she had no power to use.
Before Ji Yu could verify it, they encountered a team of supernatural beings.
Liang You and the others originally thought that since no one else knew what Sheng Hui and Professor Lin looked like, they could just keep them hidden for the time being and fool them.
Unexpectedly, these people even brought Sheng Hui's photo, which made Liang You realize something was wrong.
"It's Sheng Hui! Quickly grab her! Her blood can resist the zombie virus. As long as we capture her, we can unify the apocalypse."
Those superhumans still saw Sheng Hui, and their eyes turned red with excitement. They started fighting with Liang You and the others without any regard for anything else.
Even though Liang You and the others explained that those were just rumors.
No one believed it; they just thought Liang You and his group wanted to take Sheng Hui away.
Those people were aiming to kill Liang You and the others with every move they made.
Liang You thought they were crazy. Sheng Hui's blood could only prevent infection by the zombie virus, and it was only effective for a limited time.
It is useful, but its usefulness is not as exaggerated as the rumors claim. These people don't even bother to distinguish between truth and falsehood, yet they still work so hard.
If they actually catch Sheng Hui and find out it's all fake, they'll go crazy.
Seeing the bloodthirsty superhumans, Liang You and his group naturally showed no mercy. If they could take their lives, they had no reason to be soft-hearted.
Perhaps these superhumans were too excited, because when they started fighting, they made many mistakes, and their weaknesses were clearly exposed. Soon, Liang You and his group would be beaten until they vomited blood.
Taking advantage of everyone's momentary lapse in attention, one of them actually grabbed Sheng Hui directly.
Seeing that her daughter was in danger, Ji Yu rushed over and punched the superhuman.
The superhuman didn't even realize what was happening before he was sent flying, crashing into a large tree before coming to a stop.
Ji Yu stared at her fist in disbelief, and it took her a long time to come to her senses. "Huihui, I think I have a superpower."
"Mom is so amazing."
Ji Yu's eyes reddened; she was happy because she finally had the ability to protect her daughter.
Liang You has also taken care of the matter.
Even as he lay dying, the enemy squad leader thought Liang You and the others were unaware of Sheng Hui's existence. A strange light shone in his eyes, accompanied by a sense of satisfaction at uncovering a secret. "That Sheng Hui is a treasure! Her blood can turn zombies back into normal people, and eating a piece of her flesh can enhance the abilities of those with superpowers. Are you really willing to protect her like this?"
Liang You used a wind blade to deliver the final blow to her opponent.
She looked at Sheng Hui, her expression also grim. "The rumors seem to be getting more and more outrageous. It seems they intend to kill Sheng Hui."
What started as drinking blood has now evolved into eating meat.
The crowd's expressions turned serious. The rumors were so outrageous that many people would surely believe them, and they would really have to capture Sheng Hui and eat her flesh and drink her blood.
Tao Min said angrily, "Are they treating Huihui like Tang Sanzang? Why don't they say that eating her flesh can grant immortality?"
Sheng Hui laughed and said, "Maybe that's already the rumor. I'm Tang Sanzang, so you guys are going to have a hard time protecting me, like Sun Wukong."
“Then Sun Wukong must be Boss Liang, I’ll reluctantly be Sha Wujing, and you’ll all be Pigsy,” Tao Min laughed.
"Pah, you're the one who's Pigsy, I'm the Monkey King!" Yuan Wu retorted, mimicking the Monkey King's fiery eyes.
Everyone laughed and joked with each other, and the gloom hanging over them finally dissipated a little.
"No more rest, let's get to the school and set up the base as soon as possible," Liang You said.
Everyone took turns driving, traveling day and night without stopping, and even when they encountered zombies, they didn't stop but drove straight into them.
If any zombies are clinging to the car, use your superpowers to knock them down.
After rushing for a while, I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the school.
First, they checked the area around the laboratory to make sure there were no problems, and then they cordoned off a one-kilometer radius around it.
Anyway, there are only a few of them now, so these places are enough.
Earth-type and metal-type ability users built a three-meter-high outer wall in just one day.
"At least we're a little safer now."
Looking at the outer walls, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know why, but working can improve my superpowers. I feel like I have inexhaustible energy now," said Hu Lai, a metal-type superpower user, patting his arm.
The others nodded in agreement, "I feel the same way."
Everyone sat together, and Sheng Hui gave them some glucose.
During this time, Sheng Hui made a new discovery: while helping people with superpowers improve their abilities, her own abilities were also improving.
A lot of crystal cores were saved.
This is also a good thing to replenish physical strength in the apocalypse.
The outer walls need to be reinforced further. Zombies can't destroy them, but what about people with superpowers?
Therefore, the more secure the better.
Sheng Hui took out all the supplies from her spatial storage. She kept the meat in the storage for now, as she was afraid it would spoil if she took it out.
Clothes and blankets will definitely come in handy.
If that doesn't work, try checking the student dormitories to see if there's anything there.
While everyone was busy, Sheng Hui was not idle either. She took them to the student dormitory and put shampoo, shower gel and other items into the storage space.
There are also changes of clothes.
I also found some mutated vegetables in the cafeteria.
Sheng Hui was very tempted by the cabbages, carrots, and the like. Her special ability allowed her to completely control these mutated plants. She wondered if she could take them back and plant them so that they would never lack vegetables in the future, and they wouldn't have to bother finding any seeds to plant.
The mutated vegetables tasted better than before they mutated, and their size also increased.
Sheng Hui was certain that she could control them, so she dug them into the space by the roots. Living things could also enter the storage ring, but they were frozen for a moment when they went in, and they were still alive when they came out.
It's very convenient to ship it directly back.
Originally, Sheng Jing wanted to ride Da Hei alone to the nearby mountains to see if she could hunt anything, but she was worried about her daughter, so she went with her.
Sisi tied the father and daughter to Dahei, which stunned Sheng Jing. However, the more capable his daughter was, the happier he, as her father, was.
This at least shows that the daughter has the ability to protect herself.
He was worried that he couldn't protect his daughter. He didn't even dare to think about what would happen to her if she really fell into the hands of those people.
Now things are much better; my daughter also has superpowers, and I have these amazing companions by my side.
The father and daughter went up the mountain hoping to capture some mutated animals, but those animals were incredibly powerful; one pheasant's beak was so hard it pecked right through a tree.
Sheng Hui can control the mutated pheasants, making them obedient, and the pheasants can be raised to lay eggs.
The only other mutated creatures we can catch are the dead ones, which we can take back and eat.
Sheng Hui also found some wild fruits and mushrooms, and dug up quite a few wild vegetables. She picked out some edible ones to take back, and it would be best if they could be grown at the base.
They also encountered a mutated giant python.
The fangs were as thick as Sheng Hui's arm. The father and daughter worked together to subdue the giant python and put away the venomous fangs.
After trying it, the python meat turned out to be non-toxic, so Sheng Hui put the python away. Now that there's meat to eat, it's good enough; who cares what kind of meat it is?
Such a huge python could feed them for a long time.
At the new base, Liang You and his team had already moved the school's generator over.
The instructions on how to connect the power supply were obtained by Sheng Hui from Xiang Bei, and they were explained in great detail, teaching them step by step.
Professor Lin's students were also busy. They tidied up the lab, repaired the broken parts, and waited until the power was turned on to restart the experiment.
Sheng Hui planted the mutated seed she found in the cafeteria. Since they didn't have any wood-type ability users, even if they found the seed, they couldn't plant it immediately.
We can only wait; how many will grow depends on luck.
The mutant animals only managed to capture a pheasant alive, and they also found a few eggs laid by the mutant pheasants. They planned to hatch them, but they didn't know if they could raise them after hatching.
It would be best to raise animals in nature.
The incubation process was also provided by Xiang Bei. When asked, she said it was taken from Sheng Hui's space. As for why things in her space always fall from the sky, Sheng Hui said she didn't know either.
Ji Yu was responsible for planting vegetables and watching over the hatching eggs. Occasionally, she would help move materials. She had awakened a superpower of great strength, making her exceptionally strong. She could lift a hundred-pound object with one hand without any effort.
Everyone was busy with something, working hard and enthusiastically. Watching the base being built little by little under their own hands, they couldn't be more proud.
When I get tired, I lie down on the ground for a while, admiring my base, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
“I never imagined I could build my own base,” Liang You remarked.
"So, does that mean our base can recruit ordinary people from now on?" Tao Min asked with a smile.
When this was mentioned, everyone fell silent.
I initially chose Base 3 because there were relatively fewer bullying incidents there, but after arriving, I found that it wasn't much better than other bases.
They wanted to shelter ordinary people, but if there were too many ordinary people in a base, they couldn't guarantee safety. When faced with a zombie siege, ordinary people would be of little help.
"Let's build our base first. Only when we are strong can we help others," Liang You said.
"This is a base we built ourselves, so of course the more stable it is, the better."
Sheng Hui still goes out every day. She uses her supernatural abilities to control the mutated vegetables so they don't hurt people before she continues to go out to find supplies.
The nearby supermarket doesn't have food, of course, but it does have clothes, shoes, and some daily necessities that you can take home.
Nobody wants glass cups and the like.
Sheng Hui didn't care whether anyone wanted it or not; she took everything she could and brought it back first. Now that they had a base, instead of worrying about not being able to use it, she might as well bring it all back and see if she could use it or not.
For items that are durable, a special room was set aside for storage. Tao Min was responsible for providing the water source and also for recording these items.
Some electrical appliances were also brought back. After the generator was connected to the power supply, the laboratory lights were turned on. However, some parts were damaged, and Professor Lin was leading his students to repair the machines.
Even if they didn't know how, they had to learn. With only a few people like them, they could only be self-sufficient, and in a short time, everyone learned a lot.
Sheng Jing had gone out with Sheng Hui a few times and seen his daughter's abilities, so he wasn't so worried. His daughter was more capable than him, and if he went with her and there was any danger, he would only hold her back. So he simply stayed at the base to help repair things.
They also set aside a vegetable garden. Since there were no wood-type ability users, the vegetable seeds could only wait, and whether they would grow was up to fate.
They have no shortage of food at the moment and can afford to wait.
Ji Yu, however, was very concerned about these things. She said, "It will grow, it definitely will."
Ji Yu used to love tending to flowers and plants, and now taking care of the vegetable garden and hatching eggs at least gives her something to do.
She's much stronger now; she can lift and carry heavy things, and she can be a great help.
Everyone has something to do, and this peaceful life feels like going back to before the end of the world.
