Chapter 49 Du Tao
Pu Zhi: "As you wish."
After getting her consent, Zhao Yunyao immediately sat half a palm away from Xiao Ren.
Xiao Ren rarely got so close to anyone other than Pu Zhi, and he moved towards Pu Zhi uncomfortably.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yunyao did not retreat but advanced, and was only half a finger away from touching it.
Xiao Ren let out a whimpering sound of grievance and scratched Pu Zhi with his claws, hoping that she could give him justice.
Pu Zhi patted its head soothingly: "You will have to interact with others a lot in the future, so just consider this as some time to get used to it."
Xiao Ren snorted unhappily, jumped off the sofa, and instantly became three meters tall.
Hmm! It's better to look at strangers from this angle! It feels like you can step on them to death at any time.
The few people in the room who hadn't had time to speak were staring at the scene in front of them in amazement. This... this... the captain didn't say that Sister Pu Zhi's dog could transform!
Compared to the others' surprise, Zhao Yunyao's love for him gushed out directly: "Ahhh! Oh my god! So handsome! My husband from the dog world!"
Xiao Ren lay leisurely behind Pu Zhi, looking down at the few new humans he met with his huge head.
"Sister Pu Zhi, let me introduce you first. Yun Yao is a second-level psychic. Her awakened ability is similar to invisibility, but she needs the help of shadows.
The one with red hair is Xia Guang, and the one with black hair is Xia Qi. They are twins, both of whom are second-level psychics, but their psychics are rather strange.
My younger brother Xia Qi’s special ability is... an air bomb, and Xia Guang’s special ability is ignition. Xia Qi’s special ability needs to be physically ignited to explode, which means that he must have Xia Guang’s cooperation.
The chubby one is Du Tao, currently at level 2, with a healing ability. I have a lightning ability, and recently reached level 3."
As soon as Zhang Xiaobai finished speaking, his brother Xia Guang came over with a smile and shook his hand: "Hello, Sister Pu Zhi, we have heard about you from Brother Zhang a long time ago. It is true that seeing is believing. Sister Pu Zhi is really beautiful!"
Pu Zhi shook hands back expressionlessly. The two brothers didn't expect that the elder brother was more lively, while the younger brother looked so gentle.
And the tall and strong Du Tao's ability is not offensive, it's also healing...
Xia Qi pursed his lips and held out his hand with a stern face: "Hello, Sister Pu Zhi, my brother is just a little silly, I hope you don't mind."
"It's okay, he's quite lively."
After Pu Zhi shook his hand, it was Du Tao's turn. "Hello, Sister Pu Zhi. My name is Du Tao. If you get hurt in the future, just come to me!"
Looking at his dark face, his naive smile showing his big white teeth, he looked like he was almost 30 years old. Pu Zhi's eyelids jumped and asked, "How old are you?"
He pointed at himself with his right index finger: "My mom said I'm 23 years old. I'm from Guanzhou. When I was in high school, my mom and I came to Diwen City to open a dumpling restaurant. The dumplings my mom makes are delicious!
Oh, by the way, my mom said she would make carrot and pork dumplings for us today. She went to the supply station to exchange carrots and will be back soon!
I thought this guy was older than me, but I didn't expect that he was only one year younger than me. Pu Zhi could only acknowledge him as sister.
But looking at Du Tao's silly expression, I feel like there's something wrong with his brain.
"Du Tao was bullied by his classmates when he was a child and suffered a head injury. His IQ stopped at around the level of a ten-year-old. That's why his mother brought him to the south." Xia Qi saw Pu Zhi's confusion and explained.
So that’s how it is. Pu Zhi nodded secretly.
"Hehe." Du Tao didn't feel disappointed when he heard about himself, but just smiled.
Zhao Yunyao then made a heart-holding gesture and introduced herself: "I'm Yun, the Yunduo of clouds, and Yao, the Yaochi of yaochi! I'm 14 years old this year. Sister Puzhi, you can come to me if you need anything in the future. Just let me pet the dog!"
When Xiao Bajian mentioned himself, his tail began to wag again. He was indeed very charming.
"By the way, there is another sister in our team. She is thirty years old and very beautiful. As a girl, I love her so much. Of course, Sister Pu Zhi is also beautiful, the kind of beautiful that is cool and aloof!" Zhao Yunyao said immediately.
She is 1.5 meters tall and has a pair of big eyes that are particularly bright, making it impossible to get angry with her.
"Yun Yao is talking about Aunt Liu. Today it's her turn to guard the base gate. You may have seen her. Although she doesn't have any special abilities, her shooting skills are extremely accurate. Apart from the base commander, her shooting skills are the most accurate." Zhang Xiaobai introduced.
Pu Zhi thought of the girl with retro curly hair outside the base in the morning. She was indeed very pretty and her shooting skills were extremely accurate. No wonder she was able to join the hunting team that was almost entirely composed of psychics.
Seeing that the introductions were almost complete, Zhang Xiaobai suggested, "Sister Pu Zhi, please excuse me for a moment."
Seeing the two people walking towards the second floor, Xiao Ren immediately turned into normal size and followed them.
Zhao Yunyao sighed regretfully. She thought she could still touch the dog secretly.
When they reached the second floor, Zhang Xiaobai opened a room that looked like a study and pulled out a chair for Pu Zhi to sit down.
But Pu Zhi took the lead and sat down opposite the main seat: "Let's talk about what's going on."
As she finished speaking, a shielding card in the space quietly disappeared.
Zhang Xiaobai sat upright, and said with a hint of regret: "There is no news about the end of the world, but a month ago, ten hunting teams all died in a mission.
It’s not necessarily death. Anyway, they never came back and the base announced their death to the public.
But there is a team member whose special ability is displacement. Logically, no matter what danger he encounters, there is a high possibility that he can escape.
I volunteered to help, but there were no signs of a major fight at the scene, not even a single clue. I felt something was fishy going on."
Pu Zhi rubbed the thumb of his left hand, which was indeed suspicious.
Zhang Xiaobai: "By the way, Song Xin is currently hunting Team One, and your ex-boyfriend is with Li Cang's sister... so he can also be considered part of the hunting team."
Pu Zhi was not surprised to hear the news about Jiang Weibo. When they first met by chance, she had predicted that the two would most likely come to Base No. 3.
But I didn't expect that Song Xin would actually make it to the hunting team. It's no exaggeration to say that enemies often meet on a narrow road.
In her previous life, she had no special abilities and could only rely on her body and emotions to deceive men. In this life, she is lucky enough to live a life of ease and comfort thanks to her strength.
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Xiaobai scratched his head uncomfortably, he didn't do anything.
"By the way, Sister Pu Zhi, would you like to join our hunting team 2? The benefits are very good, and the rewards for each mission are very high. It can take half a month to a month."
Pu Zhi nodded slightly: "That's what I was thinking. How much is the rent here?"
Zhang Xiaobai: "It's free here, but you have to pay for water and electricity. The higher the ranking of the hunting team, the better the place allocated to the base. The hunting team one has an entire floor more than ours, and there's also a swimming pool. Water and electricity are all free."
"Then if the mutant does not join the hunting team, what kind of house will be allocated to him?" Pu Zhi asked curiously.
"I went to see it when I first arrived. It's on the edge of Area 2. It has a kitchen, a bathroom, and a living room, and is only 40 square meters. They say it's a benefit for people with special abilities, but in fact, you have to complete missions assigned by the base. You have to take at least one a month, otherwise you will be kicked out.
There are currently 216 people with special abilities at the base, but half of them have useless abilities, such as being able to make dust in a room disappear or summoning wind that only blows hair.
Because they couldn't complete the missions assigned by the base, they were directly exiled to District 3 without any benefits. If they couldn't afford to rent an apartment in District 3 within a month, they would be exiled to District 4. And so on, many people were exiled directly to District 5. Zhang Xiaobai frowned slightly as he spoke, clearly disapproving of the base's approach.
Pu Zhi got a general understanding of the base and had a deeper impression of it. In his previous life, he envied the people in the base just like the people outside. But in reality, ordinary people in the base did not have to worry about zombies, but their lives were not necessarily as good as those outside.
…
After the two finished chatting, Du Tao's mother also came back. She was 70% similar to Du Tao, with a height of 1.7 meters and a somewhat plump figure. She had a pair of single eyelids but extra large eyes. You could recognize them as mother and son at a glance.
"Oh, you must be Pu Zhi. You're too thin. I'm going to make dumplings today. You'll be well soon. Eat more then.
By the way, my last name is Du, so you can call me Aunt Du or Mom Du. ” After saying that, she put on her apron with a smile, picked up the rolling pin on the table, and went to the kitchen to roll out the dumpling wrappers.
