Chapter 95 Reappearance of Civilization
The base wants to study grain cultivation, but common crops like rice and wheat have mutated. To figure out these mutations, it would be best to have a wood-type ability user, but unfortunately, Baiquan City doesn't have such talent yet.
Rong Yi's eyes lit up. "Wood element? Then let's capture it alive and bring it back to the base."
Suddenly, all the surrounding plants stirred, and weeds rushed over like waves, their resilient blades entangled the two of them, while vines twisted around their legs.
With just one glance from Wei Yanqing, Rong Yi understood his plan and pretended to struggle a few times.
In fact, these grasses and vines can't trap them at all.
If we don't pretend like this, how can we get the people hiding in the shadows to come out?
The person behind the scenes didn't use a deadly move, something Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing could sense.
As the strange plants snatched the weapons from the two men's hands, the person who had been hiding finally revealed himself.
There were seven people in total, five men and two women. Judging from their attire, Rong Yi wondered who they were. In this desolate forest, which was practically the wilderness, all seven of them were dressed in their finest attire. If there were a camera filming them, they would probably think this was some kind of banquet.
The man and woman standing firmly in the center are dressed in the same red color. What's most bizarre is their face paint. Despite wearing clothes produced in civilized society, their facial decorations make them look like primitive savages.
“Ordinary people dare to come out.” A woman in a fiery red dress took the pistol handed to her by the vine with her slender hand. It was Rong Yi’s pistol. “Without superpowers, holding a gun is just handing it to us.”
"Then why were you hiding just now? And why were you using your superpowers to ambush them from the shadows?" Rong Yi's words left the group speechless, as if they had swallowed something disgusting.
Having learned her lesson from the stinky flower, Rong Yi wore a mask and goggles when she came out afterward. The others couldn't see her eyes clearly, but they could sense her disdain from her tone.
The man in the red suit looked Rong Yi up and down, "Nice figure." Before he could finish speaking, he was nudged by the woman in the red dress who was hugging him.
The woman in the red dress released the safety of her pistol and pointed it at Rong Yi.
Rong Yi remained calm and composed, glancing at Wei Yanqing with a clear meaning: she no longer wanted to tolerate these idiots.
"Let's get started." Wei Yanqing understood her meaning.
The two people, who were originally tightly bound, moved their shoulders, and all the weeds and vines snapped.
The woman in the red dress's expression changed drastically, and she instinctively fired her gun.
Bang--
The defensive shield didn't even trigger, and Rong Yi easily dodged the shot.
The woman in the red dress wanted to fire several shots, but Rong Yi lost his patience and rushed to the group with lightning speed.
In an instant, metal, wood, and water-based supernatural abilities all appeared, but Wei Yanqing managed to control all of these attacks.
These few people had superpowers, but they were practically useless in close combat. Without the threat of superpowers, Rong Yi took them down in no time.
Wei Yanqing stepped forward, the silver light from the masks reflecting off their faces in the backlight. "Disable supernatural abilities."
Those four words shattered their desire to resist with their superpowers, and they couldn't even muster the slightest thought of activating them.
Wei Yanqing's strength has recently improved, not only in terms of controlling physical matter, but also in terms of mental aspects.
The group consisted of unfamiliar faces. Since the bases merged, the entire city had been overturned, and there were no longer any small groups scattered outside Baiquan City.
"Where are you from?" Rong Yi asked.
None of them said a word. Wei Yanqing kicked the man in the red suit and said, "Answer her."
It's control again.
"We come from the Tianxuan Base in Jinning City. We are the city lord's vanguard team, to find out the defensive situation of the Baiquan City base."
Rong Yi was satisfied with the control his teammates were applying. "What do you need to do?"
"To annex the White Spring City base and expand the territory of the Chosen Ones."
Oh my, that answer almost made Rong Yi laugh.
The seven people were put into a car and taken back to the base, where they soon found out what was going on with the Chosen Base.
The research institute is very interested in people with the ability to transform into animals, and they wish they could set off today to bring them back for a thorough study.
The reason this base dared to come up with this idea is because it produced a level six superhuman.
Secondly, when the bird-like ability user went to investigate, most of the troops were stationed in the mining area and didn't realize that the Baiquan City base was officially established.
However, they weren't completely stupid; they knew to send someone to investigate.
What a coincidence! The base's leadership is currently organizing an expanded search and rescue operation, as well as establishing a transit base in Jijiang City to capture marine life.
The appearance of these people caused the plan to be changed temporarily, and they went to deal with the inhuman Chosen Base first.

Jiang Huarong was awakened by the sound of gunfire. He had just sat up when he heard a rapid knocking on the door. "Mr. Jiang, something has happened outside!"
He wiped his face. "What's wrong? Did those lunatics change their minds?"
After months of turmoil, only the Chosen Base and the player's base remained in Jinning City. The rest were all swallowed up by the two of them. Bickering and fighting often occurred. However, the Chosen Base had many superhumans but very few weapons, while the player's base had plenty of ammunition but few superhumans.
"No, the Chosen Base is almost destroyed!"
Jiang Huarong instantly regained his senses and listened to the report. He learned that the Baiquan City base had captured the superhumans who went to investigate, and knew that this inhumane base existed. They led a large force across more than 200 kilometers of wilderness overnight to attack!
Why did Jiang Huarong's subordinates know about this?
Because the Baiquan City base also sent people here, and after understanding that they were not bad, they explained the situation.
"The Chosen Base has really bitten off more than they can chew. They didn't know that the White Spring City base was officially established. Now, tanks are parked at their gate." The refined man became more and more agitated as he spoke. With official intervention, the Chosen Base was finally doomed.
As an ordinary person, he deeply resented the practices of that lousy base.
As Jiang Huarong heard the rest, he began to wonder if his base was also doomed, since the management team consisted entirely of players and ordinary people with management skills, with very little official influence.
"Let's go take a look."
The Chosen Base has many superhumans, but the biggest reason they couldn't take down Jiang Huarong is that even though they are level six superhumans, they are still afraid of heavy weapons with strong destructive power.
No matter how powerful the players are, given that this group is almost all entering a mid-level dungeon for the first time, the firepower they can purchase with points is limited. Moreover, while they have their own talents, their physical enhancements are too down-to-earth compared to dazzling natural abilities.
When Jiang Huarong arrived, the gates of the Chosen Base had already been blown apart by tank shells.
Seeing this, the superpowered individuals tried their old tricks again, namely, to send out ordinary people from the city. They failed to solve this base in the early days of the apocalypse because of this stupid trick. Players need ordinary people, thousands or tens of thousands of them to stand in front of them. Are they really going to kill all these innocent people?
However, this time, the one attacking them was the incredibly powerful White Spring City base.
Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing moved through the crowd as if they were in an empty place. The desperate superhumans saw them approaching and unleashed all sorts of superpowers, intending to kill the two of them or a large number of civilians. Fortunately, the players blocked them with all sorts of items.
The soldiers weren't idle either; while they held off the superhumans' attack, they organized the crowd to run away.
Seeing this situation, only four words came to Jiang Huarong's mind: the situation was hopeless.
