Yan Ning walked over at some point, and looked at Banxia with surprise: "What a perceptive child."
Regarding military force, the base is currently divided into two factions: one advocates for the transformation of all citizens into superhumans, and the other advocates for the reconstruction of a firearms manufacturing plant.
She belongs to the group that advocates for the transformation of everyone into superpowered individuals, because since gaining superpowers, she feels that her physical condition is even better than when she was twenty years old, and her resistance to extreme weather has also increased significantly.
She boldly speculated that this disaster, in a sense, was a selection process to choose the strongest creatures to evolve alongside the blue planet.
The other faction believes that while superhumans may seem powerful, their output is not sustainable and they are difficult to upgrade, limiting their future potential. They argue that the focus should be on developing technology.
Banxia didn't know why Yan Ning would say that, because in her previous life, it wasn't until the third year that someone evolved superpowers, and humans were too busy fighting monsters to protect their homes, so this argument simply didn't exist.
Seeing her confusion, Yan Ning didn't explain, but instead asked, "Do you want to take on missions? I suggest you start with B-level missions."
She didn't doubt their abilities; after all, being able to safely travel from City A to City S from thousands of miles away meant they must possess some skill, especially since they all had special abilities. Her concern was that they might be unfamiliar with the mission procedures and rashly accept the task, leading to failure.
Banxia shook her head: "We don't take on missions, we're just looking around."
Although Yan Ning was interested in recruiting them, she knew there was no rush. She laughed heartily and said, "Where else would you like to go? I happen to be free, so I'll accompany you for a walk."
Banxia and the others exchanged glances, about to refuse, when suddenly a huge scream and commotion came from outside.
"I'm sorry," Yan Ning frowned, "something happened. I'll contact you when I have time!"
After saying that, she hurriedly ran out of the hall with her subordinates. Banxia grabbed Nanxing's arm and said, "Let's go take a look too. I think I heard someone say something about a mutated bird."
As the group stepped out of the gate, they saw that almost the entire sky was filled with birds of all sizes, flapping their wings and attacking people with their sharp beaks and claws.
A mutated sparrow spotted Banxia and her companions with sharp eyes, raised its head and chirped a few times, and immediately more than a dozen of its kind followed its gaze.
Seeing this, Banxia took out a submachine gun from her spatial storage and handed it to everyone: "Be careful, call me if you're running out of bullets!"
After saying that, he aimed at the mutated sparrow's head and quickly pulled the trigger, shooting one sparrow at a time without ever missing.
Hearing the unfamiliar gunshots from afar, Yan Ning turned his head and glanced over. Seeing that it was Banxia and her group, he immediately felt relieved.
She turned to her assistant and said, "Go to the broadcasting station and call for help! Also, inform everyone that whoever comes can take the game with them; the base won't charge them a penny!"
These birds probably sensed the threat of extreme cold and wanted to store food in advance.
Yan Ning thought to herself and couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, the base had organized the survivors to harvest food in advance when they noticed the temperature was not right. Otherwise, they would have had to go hungry during the subsequent extreme cold after being attacked by the mutated birds!
Banxia and her companions, like sharpshooters, quickly shot down the sparrow that tried to attack them and were hesitating whether to ask the staff if they could take their prey with them.
Then an announcement came over the loudspeaker: "The base has been attacked by birds. The guards are requested to move out immediately... You may take your prey with you..."
The Su family of three immediately dragged the mutated sparrow they had killed to Banxia's side with great excitement: "Banxia, store it in your space first!"
“Okay,” Banxia put it directly into her spatial storage. “You guys keep track of the quantity yourselves.”
She squinted at a grayish-white bird in the air that was noticeably smaller than the other mutated birds—a silver-throated long-tailed tit.
The bird gave her a distinct sense of unease. After thinking for a moment, she put the submachine gun back into her storage space, then took out a rocket launcher and fired a shot at the silver-throated long-tailed tit.
Just then, the silver-throated long-tailed tit turned its head, its sharp gaze meeting Banxia's, before suddenly spreading its wings and soaring high to dodge the cannonball attack.
It raised its head and let out a long cry, and several small tornadoes rose from the ground and swept towards Banxia.
Banxia summoned Benlei: "Chase after them!"
Benlei was comfortably incubating the eggs in the space when he was suddenly moved out. He was about to get angry, but when he saw Banxia's serious expression, he immediately stopped talking and carried her to chase after her.
The silver-throated long-tailed tit looked at the mutated eagle that had appeared out of nowhere with surprise. Where did this bird come from?
More importantly, as a bird, it actually chose to help humans, and immediately opened its throat and cursed, "Traitor!"
The mutated eagle rolled its eyes speechlessly. It was raised by humans when it was a cub, and now it has a family of two and five eggs. It not only eats human food but also lives in a dwelling provided by humans. How can it be considered a traitor?
"I'm not a traitor!" the mutated eagle retorted. "I eat humans, live in humans' homes, and listen to humans. What's wrong with that?"
The silver-throated long-tailed tit choked: "But you're a bird! How can a bird mingle with humans?"
The mutated eagle said matter-of-factly, "Humans help me raise my wife and cubs. Why would I follow you instead of her? Look at you, all skinny and weak. You probably haven't had a proper meal in a long time. You're so pitiful!"
"Are you a big idiot?" The silver-throated long-tailed tit felt mocked. "How could a human be so kind! She's being nice to you, she must have ulterior motives!"
“I know,” the mutated eagle said indifferently. “I work for humans, and humans provide me with food, water, and shelter. It’s a fair trade, and neither of us owes the other anything.”
Since it came to live with humans, its quality of life has improved dramatically. Not only does it eat, drink, and live well, but more importantly, it is safe!
It no longer has to worry about its eggs being stolen!
What a comfort this must be for a bird that has just become a father!
“I don’t believe you,” the silver-throated long-tailed tit insisted. “You’re definitely lying to me on purpose!”
"Tch~" the mutated eagle scoffed. "What do you have that I could possibly lie to? You don't actually think the human on my back wants to take you in as a mutated beast, do you? She has over a dozen different kinds of birds, all prettier and stronger than you, and she wouldn't even look at you!"
The silver-throated long-tailed tit was so enraged that it turned around and stretched its neck to snatch the mutated eagle.
Although Banxia couldn't understand what the two birds were saying, she was speechless when she saw that after a while the two birds were about to fight. She put the rocket launcher back into her space.
She hasn't even made a move yet!
The mutated eagle never expected that the silver-throated long-tailed tit, which was smaller than its own claws, would try to snatch it. It immediately glanced at it disdainfully and even put its own wing under the other's small and exquisite beak to show its contempt.
A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the silver-throated long-tailed tit, and it opened its sharp beak to peck at it.
Get out of the way!
Banxia felt that something was off about the silver-throated long-tailed tit, so she quickly stopped it.
