While his teammates went out to find out what was going on, Cheng Shaolin did something very important.
In this small space, the two of them opened up to each other. Pink bubbles floated ambiguously in the 80-square-meter space, witnessing their promise.
When everyone else besides the two of them returned, they felt something was different, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.
Shao Jie looked around suspiciously, muttering to himself, "Something seems off?"
Li Xiao stole a glance at Cheng Shaolin. Cheng Shaolin's face was no different than before.
...You're really good at pretending.
Cheng Shaolin noticed Li Xiao's expression; Xiao Xiao's rosy smile was truly beautiful.
Cheng Shaolin's true thoughts were not outwardly revealed. One could only say that Cheng Shaolin was good at concealing his true feelings, and he concealed them flawlessly.
Yu Yanbin glanced at Cheng Shaolin unintentionally. Cheng Shaolin seemed fine now, or if there was any change, it was that he was in good spirits, not just good, but much better than before.
He was in great shape and had a very high spirit.
?
He'd only been out for a short while, how could there be such a big change? His eyes darted around, as if he understood something. His gaze finally settled on Cheng Shaolin's face, and a disdainful smile slowly crept onto his lips.
Cheng Shaolin glanced at Yu Yanbin, deciding not to lower himself to his level.
Men without girlfriends are not worth your attention; single people don't need your pity.
Yu Yanbin: ...You dog of a man.
Cheng Shaolin: Hehe, you're a single dog.
The intense eye contact between the two was beyond the comprehension of anyone but themselves.
"Nothing, Shao Jie, what do you see that's different?" Tian Tian looked at Shao Jie, puzzled.
Shao Jie: No? Never mind then.
Tian Tian: ...
Actually, there's not much difference; it's probably just the atmosphere of the room that's different. Superhumans have much more sensitive senses, and they can detect even slight changes in the room's atmosphere.
Everyone found a seat and began to gather together to talk about what they had learned that day.
Yu Yanbin: Okay, Shao Jie, you tell us.
Shao Jie had already found out the most basic information about the base. These weren't secret codes; everyone in the base knew them.
These things don't require much effort; they're easy to find out.
"The base is managed by the military, with assistance from government departments. When the apocalypse came, the government suffered heavy casualties and the situation got out of control. The military turned the tide and stabilized the situation, and then took direct control of the entire Yingcheng, where it remains to this day."
"There are still people in the government departments, including at the highest levels. When the city was about to get out of control, the military was ultimately chosen to forcefully stabilize the situation. There was no real confrontation."
Cheng Shaolin was in a good mood, sitting leisurely in the sofa chair with his arm draped over the back of the chair, loosely holding Li Xiao in his arms.
The bubbling joy paused for a moment, "Tsk, no power struggle?"
Shao Jie said with certainty, "No, everyone knows that, there's no need to lie."
Cheng Shaolin nodded slightly.
Everyone knows this, which suggests it might be true. Whether the truth is as everyone knows is another matter.
"The base has always been firmly in the hands of the military. Moreover, the base is well-constructed and there are no major problems."
"It seems the environment here is quite nice." Cheng Shaolin looked towards Yu Yanbin, who did not deny it and quickly agreed with Cheng Shaolin's statement.
“You’re right. One family holds power and manages it very well. This place is very different from Qizhou; it’s a very suitable place to settle down.”
This point was agreed upon by everyone.
“Then we can stay here in peace for a while.” Meng Yang seemed to relax, leaning back in his chair.
Even Zheng Yongnian, who was standing next to him, kept nodding in agreement.
“We were planning to stay here for a while anyway, it’s just that now it’s become clearer.” Yu Yanbin breathed a sigh of relief, looking quite relaxed. “This place is great, there’s none of that messy stuff here. Everyone can rest assured.”
Everyone couldn't help but smile when they heard this; it was indeed good news.
"Also, there's the issue of the location of those with superpowers within the base. The base takes good care of those with superpowers. There's no mandatory management of those with superpowers by the base. Teams formed by soldiers are under base management. Everyone else is considered an individual. They can form their own teams, as long as they meet the requirements."
"Conditions?" Xiao Peng looked at Shao Jie with a puzzled expression.
Shao Jie nodded, "It's about how many people a team can have, specifying how many people have superpowers, what their superpowers are, etc. The base assigns missions based on teams. Individuals mainly take on missions within the base, and it's rare to recruit individuals to participate in missions outside the base."
"Also, fighting among people with superpowers is not allowed in the base. Anyone caught doing so will be severely punished, and those who commit serious offenses will be expelled from the base and will not be allowed to live there again."
Everyone exchanged glances, understanding the necessity of this regulation. If any superhuman could freely fight and brawl within the base, it would likely be destroyed. It might even injure ordinary people or damage the base's facilities.
It is still necessary to impose some restrictions on powerful superhumans, which is also essential for the stability of the base.
"There's some other information, about points, resource trading, the distribution of superhumans, and the strength of superhumans..."
Cheng Shaolin raised his hand slightly, stopping Shao Jie from saying what he was about to say.
"Those things aren't important, we can learn about them gradually. Let's talk about people with superpowers."
Shao Jie choked for a moment, paused for a few seconds, and then spoke again: "There are about 30 to 50 teams of superhumans of all sizes in the base. The base itself has 3 teams, namely Team 1, Team 2, and Team 3. There are many more teams formed by superhumans themselves. The top-ranked ones are said to be the Hope Team led by Zheng Xi, the Thunder Team led by Lei Xing, and the Speed Team led by Chen Shuang."
"These three teams are the strongest and are ranked at the top. Next are the Red Sun Team, the Bright Light Team, the Raging Speed Team, and the Ice Blue Team. The teams behind them are slightly weaker."
There was no need for Shao Jie, who was even less capable, to continue speaking.
"With so many strong teams, this base must be quite powerful."
Li Xiao felt that the strength of a team of superhumans was quite telling. Just because they were strong didn't mean they all belonged to the base, or were counted as members of the base.
"Yes, the strength of the superhuman team reflects the overall strength of the base. It seems alright so far."
Cheng Shaolin was very satisfied with the base and was in a good mood, which made his face look pleasant.
"There are also many small teams at the base, about 10 or so. Whether there are any strong ones among them, I don't know."
Everyone understood what Shao Jie meant. Like them, although their numbers weren't large, in terms of strength, they were at least able to hold a certain position in this base.
They were confident they had the ability and didn't need to be modest.
