Chapter 169 Could it be that Shen Wang made her sister call him that? [36]
Su Yiyue knew that her younger sister was very likable, so it was normal for Shen Wang to like her.
However, as the older sister, she didn't particularly like Chen Wang.
She couldn't see through this person; she only sensed danger.
Besides, her sister is only nineteen years old!
Of course, Su Yiyue was still very grateful to Chen Wang for bringing her sister safely to the Beijing base.
Su Yiyue will naturally find another opportunity to repay this kindness.
Su Yiyue took her sister's hand, nodded to Shen Wang, and then turned to leave.
Accompanied by Su Yiyue, Achu underwent a full-body examination. After confirming that she had no wounds, she was able to leave.
After leaving the inspection center, Achu followed Su Yiyue to a white car parked on the side of the road.
Su Yiyue took out her car keys, unlocked the car door, and let A Chu get in. She then opened the trunk and put A Chu's suitcase inside.
Achu opened the passenger door and got in.
Su Yiyue quickly came over, opened the driver's side door, and got in.
"Sister, is this your car?" Achu asked.
As Su Yiyue started the car, she replied, "Yes, this is the car that the base assigned to me."
Resources are limited now; whether it's gasoline or anything else, they are all rationed.
Su Yiyue was assigned a car and a limited monthly gasoline supply because she was an important scientific researcher.
However, she rarely uses it; the lab provides her with a car to pick her up and drop her off every day.
As the car started, Achu looked curiously at the scenery outside the window.
The Beijing base has been built to a very good standard, much better than the base that Achu and Chen Wang visited before.
This place seems to be a small city that is no different from before the apocalypse.
However, there are far fewer means of transportation available, and most people either walk or ride bicycles.
While driving, Su Yiyue introduced the Beijing base to Achu.
"The current base director is the former mayor of Beijing. Since currency is no longer valid, consumption here is done through points or barter."
"Gold can also be considered a circulating currency."
Achu asked curiously, "How are points earned?"
Su Yiyue: "Urban construction requires a lot of manpower, as well as other types of work. Points can also be considered their wages."
“Some of the bolder people will go outside the base to collect supplies. There’s an exchange center inside the base where you can exchange supplies for points.”
"At the base, you need to use points for everything, from food and lodging to transportation."
Hearing this, Achu blinked: "Then, sister, what kind of job would be suitable for me?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yiyue turned her head to look at A Chu and smiled at her: "You don't need to work. I have a lot of points and can support you."
Ah Chu smiled and didn't say anything about having to go to work. Instead, she said in a coquettish tone, "Then I'll rely on my sister to support me for now!"
Su Yiyue's smile deepened, feeling even more motivated to work because she was going to take care of her younger sister!
The two sisters continued chatting about other things.
Ah Chu then learned that the Beijing base had already categorized superpower levels.
They also created a detection device that can identify the type and level of superpowers.
They also developed a testing instrument for the zombie crystal cores, which can confirm their level.
Su Yiyue: "Currently, the most common superpowers are strength-based and the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."
"Other types such as wind, ice, healing, and space are relatively rare."
"The highest level of superhuman in the base is level three."
"The highest level of zombie crystal cores we obtained was only level three."
Achu: "I remember you told me, sister, that you awakened your ice-type ability. So what level are you now?"
Su Yiyue replied, "Just reached level three."
Ah Chu exclaimed, "Sister is so amazing!"
Su Yiyue received the admiring gaze from her younger sister, and the corners of her lips turned up.
"The identity registration office is closed today. I'll take you to register your identity and test your ability level tomorrow morning."
"By the way, what superpower did you awaken?"
Achu blinked and replied, "Metal-type ability, space-type ability... and I feel like I've become incredibly strong, I wonder if it's a strength-type ability."
Su Yiyue, whose face was usually unfazed even by the collapse of Mount Tai, now showed a look of shock.
"You've awakened...three elemental abilities?!"
Achu nodded.
Su Yiyue took a few seconds to process the news, then asked, "Does anyone else know about this?"
Achu: "Brother Chenwang knows that I have metal-type and space-type abilities. Sister, you said that I can't tell everyone everything, so I kept one ability a secret."
Su Yiyue didn't know whether she should praise her sister or not. She mentioned two out of three superpowers... What's the difference between that and mentioning all three?
“Sister, Brother Shenwang said that some illegal research labs use people for research. He said that dual-elemental abilities are very rare, and they might want to study them. So he told me not to tell anyone that I have dual-elemental abilities.”
Su Yiyue then noticed how A Chu addressed Shen Wang.
Could it be that Shen Wang made her sister call him that?
Su Yiyue suppressed her other thoughts and said, "It is true that some illegal research labs do conduct human experiments, and Chen Wang's concerns are valid."
"Current ability detection equipment is not comprehensive enough; it can only detect whether you have abilities and the level of those abilities."
"What kind of superpower are you claiming to have now?" she asked Achu.
Achu replied, "Metal-based ability."
Su Yiyue nodded: "Okay, then when you register your identity tomorrow, you should fill in the metal-type ability."
Achu nodded obediently.
The car drove into the central area of the base.
This is the safest area of the base, where important places such as government buildings and research institutes are located.
Those who live in this area are either extremely wealthy or influential, or they have made contributions to the base.
Su Yiyue lives on the second floor of a small high-rise building here, with two apartments per floor, and it is a large three-bedroom apartment.
Once inside, Su Yiyue turned on the light switch.
The house is simply decorated in a natural wood style, with a cream-colored sofa in the living room.
There aren't many decorations in the house, so it looks rather cold and impersonal.
Su Yiyue took out a pair of new pink slippers from the shoe cabinet: "These are your shoes."
As Achu changed into her slippers, she asked Su Yiyue, "Sister, is the electricity in the base free to use?"
Su Yiyue: "The base is divided into three areas: A, B, and C. The government building and research institute are in area A, we are in area B, and area C is a residential area."
"Area A has 24-hour power supply, while Area B has 12-hour power supply from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m."
“In Zone C, electricity is supplied in different time periods: from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m., and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.”
Su Yiyue took Achu on a tour of her home and showed her her room.
Then he told Achu, "The water supply is the same. Area A is 24 hours a day, and Area B is 12 hours a day, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
"Area C is from 8:00 to 9:00 in the morning, 11:00 to 12:00 in the afternoon, and 7:00 to 8:00 in the evening."
