“It’s them.” The base commander nodded.
Seeing the confusion on the faces of the others, the base commander began to explain.
"These two mutated animals have killed many superhumans in the past month. However, they are not interested in ordinary people, and even leave supplies for some elderly people and children."
"According to information from other bases, the mutated silver wolf possesses three types of superpowers: lightning, fire, and water. What it wants is the crystal core of superpowered individuals."
"And the golden python that accompanies it prefers the flesh and blood of those with superpowers."
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked horrified and began to discuss among themselves, except for the team leaders who remained relatively calm.
In fact, they knew about the news a long time ago, but they suppressed it to avoid causing panic among the team members.
It's unbelievable that a mutated animal could possess three superpowers, but that's the truth.
Qing Xiaoying was a little puzzled. Why had she never heard anyone mention these two mutated animals in her previous life?
But then she thought about herself. Her current healing effect only relied on the spiritual spring in the space. She shouldn't be considered a superpowered person, right?
Besides, she doesn't have any crystal cores.
Thinking this way, Qing Xiaoying felt relieved. She was just an ordinary person and should not be within the hunting range of mutated animals.
Jian Yihan couldn't help but ask, "Base Commander, are those two mutated animals very powerful?"
Their team had encountered mutated rats before, which were many times larger than the pre-apocalyptic rats.
With its scarlet eyes and sharp teeth, once overwhelmed by a swarm of rats, it would be devoured down to a skeleton.
The mutated rats were extremely fast, making them virtually impossible to defend against. It was only through Xiao Heng's method of using water to conduct electricity that most of the mutated rats were eliminated.
Unlike rats, the silver wolves and pythons before their mutations were already large animals. So how terrifying would they be after their mutations?
Jian Yihan found it hard to believe.
"Very impressive." The base commander sighed, his expression complex. "His methods were also very cruel."
In fact, everyone present knew that the scene after the silver wolf and the giant python appeared would inevitably be extremely bloody.
After all, one of them wanted the superhuman's crystal core, while the other wanted the superhuman's body...
But even now, hearing the base commander's affirmative words, those present couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
Qing Xiaoying glanced around at the expressions on the faces of the people around her, all of whom looked somber.
She suppressed her disdain and said, "We might not even encounter them on this trip, so there's no need for everyone to be so nervous."
If his memory serves him right, Xiao Heng shouldn't have encountered these two mutated animals when he went to the granary in City C in his previous life.
Otherwise, he would definitely have brought it up after meeting them, but he only mentioned meeting a level 5 zombie.
Because of her healing abilities, Qing Xiaoying still has quite a few superhumans in the base who are willing to give her face.
As soon as these words were spoken, a person with superpowers immediately chimed in, "Xiaoying is right, everyone doesn't need to worry so much."
Even the base commander gave Qing Xiaoying an approving look.
No matter how dangerous it is outside, we still have to go out and find food.
Otherwise, over time, this first base will become a slaughterhouse in another sense, which is not what the base commander wants to see.
"Alright." The base commander coughed softly. "Our planned departure city this time is City C."
"Since the apocalypse began, that place has been overrun by zombies, so it must have the most food compared to other places. Our main mission this time is to go to the granary in City C and bring out all the food there."
"This mission is extremely dangerous, and the top three squads from the base will lead their members on the mission."
The superhuman squads in the base are ranked according to their strength, just like the superhuman squad managed by Xiao Heng, which is ranked first.
"Okay," everyone responded in unison.
As Xiao Heng walked out, he couldn't help but glance at Qing Xiaoying. The look in her eyes when she looked at him just now was one of schadenfreude.
Xiao Heng couldn't understand what this woman was thinking.
If it weren't for her ability to heal zombies, he would have thrown her out long ago.
Xu Huaiyuan was somewhat uneasy about this mission. "Captain, are we really going?"
Since the apocalypse began in City C, no one has dared to go there.
Everyone knew it was a zombie city, and even though the facilities were relatively intact and the supplies were plentiful, no one dared to take the risk.
He didn't understand what the base commander was thinking this time either.
If they were short of food, they could have gone to nearby cities to collect it; there was no need to take such a big risk.
"Why not go?" Xiao Heng asked calmly. "There really isn't much food left in the base."
"Once we get supplies from City C, the base won't have to worry about food for the next few years."
Xiao Heng understood this very well.
The people in his team are all superhumans, and the base prioritizes ensuring that superhumans have enough food, so they don't have to worry about food shortages.
But ordinary people are different.
Xiao Heng did look down on ordinary people who lacked ability, but he wasn't that cruel.
He can turn a blind eye, but when he has the ability, he can lend a hand.
Although he was somewhat afraid of the two mutated animals, Xu Huaiyuan knew that the captain was telling the truth.
"Let's hope we don't run into those two mutated animals this time."
Upon hearing Xu Huaiyuan's words, a look of confusion appeared on Xiao Heng's face.
