"I must say, the base has indeed invented some useful things, quite practical." Meng Yang couldn't help but speak highly of the base, and it was indeed true, he didn't hold back his praise.
"Hmm, I've really seen something new today. I must say, the three battalions at the base are quite different. They have militarized management, strong execution, and are very obedient. They cooperate very well with other teams. And the other teams are also very obedient; there's not a single instance of non-cooperation," Xiao Peng added, emphasizing the most important information.
"Yes, these are the key points we need to understand. Their seamless cooperation and coordination certainly didn't happen overnight; it must have taken many collaborations to achieve this level of understanding. It seems they all have great faith in the base brigade." Yu Yanbin said thoughtfully, his curiosity about the Yingcheng base growing even stronger.
Cheng Shaolin lazily patted Li Xiao's arm gently, pondering everything he had seen that day.
"In the future, I can get to know them more and do missions with them. The risks will be much lower."
"Yes, that's true. Today is the day."
"Yes, there were risks today. But look, no one was injured. Not only did they come back safely, but they also brought ordinary people with them today."
Li Xiao glanced sideways, then turned to look at Cheng Shaolin. Seeing Cheng Shaolin nod firmly, she finally believed him.
"You really brought ordinary people along on the mission?" Zheng Yongnian asked, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"Really, there are quite a few. I must say, this base treats ordinary people quite well."
Yu Yanbin nodded. "The approach taken by this base is commendable. With reasonable leadership from above and effective execution from below, this base is likely to be able to sustain itself."
Li Xiao couldn't help but nod in agreement; in all aspects, this base was quite well done.
There was so much information today, and Li Xiao listened with great interest. It's a real shame she didn't go with them today.
Cheng Shaolin saw the thought in Li Xiao's eyes, patted the back of her head and said, "I'll take you next time. It's not safe now that it's raining. Besides, these are all missions prepared by the base, you won't be of any use if you go."
"Yeah, yeah, next time we'll take on missions ourselves. Xiaoxiao, you can come with us then." Shao Jie also felt that it wasn't necessary for so many people to go on such missions. This time, they just wanted to get some information and see what was happening outside.
"Yes, I know. It's just a bit of a shame that I didn't get to see some of the base's operations."
Tian Tian didn't think so. She patted Li Xiao's shoulder and said, "What's there to regret? It's just like that. Just follow orders and do what you're told. What's the big deal? It's just watching the space ability users in the base collect things. It's not like I haven't seen you collect things before. You've collected more than anyone else. You're pretty useless."
Li Xiao was speechless when she saw Tian Tian's disdainful look. How could she compare to her?
It's not a superpower, but she won't say it. Let them all think it is; she'll keep her identity hidden.
Only then did Li Xiao realize that everyone was looking at her. Confused by their stares, Li Xiao glanced around and hesitantly asked, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
She heard Cheng Shaolin's deep laughter. When Li Xiao looked at him, she saw him leaning on the sofa chair with one elbow, tilting his head and smiling at her.
"What are you laughing at?" Li Xiao asked, puzzled.
"They were all curious about how much space you had; they probably had been wondering about it the whole way. They might have started thinking about it as soon as they got back from the car ride."
Li Xiao: ...
Sure enough, everyone on this mission looked embarrassed but also eager to learn.
Uh, I can say it, and I can't say it.
Li Xiao's heart was pounding, but she didn't show it on her face at all.
"About the same as them, just a bit bigger."
"I just think your space is way bigger than theirs, isn't it?"
Tian Tian pouted and said, "This is not a small thing, okay?" "Is it a small thing? They have to make several trips to receive things, and I've never seen you say that you couldn't fit everything in."
"Heh, how could that be? There will always be times when you can't keep up the act. I did say before that I couldn't keep up the act, you probably don't remember." Li Xiao could only pretend to be clueless.
"Really? I might have forgotten."
"Hmm, thinking about it, it should be upgradable. It's not like it stays the same forever."
Hearing this, Shao Jie became interested. "Yes, yes, it was really worth going out today. Xiaoxiao, just like you said, superpowers can be upgraded."
"...Didn't you always know that?" Li Xiao asked, puzzled.
Shao Jie waved his hand, "No, not like before. I'm talking about upgrading in a different way."
"...What else?"
“Let me explain,” Captain Yu Yanbin interjected.
No one spoke; they waited for him to continue.
"I heard about it today. The research has made great progress. They say that the crystal found in the heads of zombies they kill might help upgrade their superpowers."
"As you saw today, after the base's ability users kill zombies, they send out specialized wood-type ability users to collect those crystals."
Everyone nodded; this is what we all saw today.
"Even in such a tense situation, they didn't forget to recycle the crystal, which shows how important it really is. So, we need to pay more attention to this in the future and remember to recycle it. This thing should be very useful, probably not just a little."
"Yeah, okay."
"knew."
Everyone indicated that they understood.
It was getting late, so everyone sat around the table for a while longer, eating and chatting.
Those who went on the mission today have been busy all day, so they're not in a hurry and went to rest after dinner.
The next day, the news came that the base would be going on another mission to salvage some supplies.
However, the team of superpowered individuals going together will change; it will not be the same team, but another team with considerable abilities.
This requirement is not unreasonable; those who are not capable will be in danger when fighting off zombies.
Which teams will travel will be decided internally by the base. The base keeps records of which teams are in operation and what capabilities they possess.
They also won't use fixed teams, which will cause dissatisfaction among other teams.
They weren't surprised to hear that.
Their team definitely won't be selected this time. They were chosen on their first try, which already makes them seem quite lucky.
Yu Yanbin was discussing with Cheng Shaolin and Meng Yang the possibility of him going on a mission.
It's just that the rain has been quite heavy these past few days; light rain was still okay to go out. But now it's been moderate to heavy rain, which greatly affects going out.
Now I can only stay indoors, which is very boring.
The three of them were still sitting together discussing things, while Li Xiao was talking to Shao Jie and the others.
It should be said that Li Xiao was being pulled aside by Shao Jie while they were talking.
