The sudden sound from the crowd was quite noticeable in the quiet exchange center.
Shen Jing had never seen the man who spoke before, but it wasn't hard to guess his identity.
Those present followed Shen Jing's gaze.
Soon a handsome man walked in.
He Qing has a gentle and mild temperament, while this man is cheerful and enthusiastic.
He quickly noticed Shen Jing standing to the side and asked her directly, "Are you Shen Jing?"
Not many people in the base knew Shen Jing's name, but Huang You was one of them.
Before Shen Jing could answer, the men who had been frightened by her quickly slid to their knees in front of Huang You and began to complain all at once: "Captain Huang, we saw her kill two more people just now!"
Huang You glanced at the two people on the ground and said meaningfully, "They were just stunned by the electric shock, they're not dead."
"He was foaming at the mouth!"
"She doesn't even spare those who speak up for her; she's truly vicious!"
"Actually, I just greeted her at first, but I didn't expect her to suddenly attack him."
Anyway, the only mistake was that Shen Jing overreacted after being approached.
What's wrong with a man making a dirty joke? He hasn't even touched you yet, right? At least that's how these people see it.
Even worse, some people thought Huang You was there to support them, and then said after the fact, "I wonder how many men she's slept with. She didn't even lose a shred of flesh after being criticized a few times, and she got so angry. Tsk tsk tsk."
Upon hearing this, Huang You's gaze towards Shen Jing became thoughtful.
"Captain Huang, how could she possibly be the dean? I heard she has someone protecting her."
"I heard that the He family vouched for her."
"Base Commander? I never expected the Base Commander to do something out of favoritism because of her!"
Why are people still so confident in Huang You after witnessing Shen Jing's skills firsthand? It all comes down to the fact that the Huang family has recruited so many superhumans in the past few days. Currently, the Huang family has surpassed the He family in terms of the extremely limited number of superhumans!
At that moment, someone whispered, "Aren't there superhumans at the exchange center? They see people being killed and they don't even care..."
In fact, the superpowered individuals at the exchange center don't usually concern themselves with such matters.
However, even if they were to intervene, the most common way to handle such disputes is to simply kick both parties out of the exchange center!
Hearing these suggestive words, Shen Jing simply stood there calmly, without even frowning.
They simply wanted to link her to the He family and then jointly smear them.
After those people finished complaining, the scene quieted down again.
After a long silence, Huang You spoke to Shen Jing, "Did you really hit these two people?"
Shen Jing took out a stun gun, using a "buzzing" sound as her answer.
Seeing Shen Jing's nonchalant attitude, Huang You said, "Maliciously injuring someone at the base will get you detained by the patrol team."
Shen Jing turned her head to look at him, "Is Captain Huang going to call the patrol team?"
"Hmm... you were indeed a bit too heavy-handed. Both of them are now in critical condition."
"Are we supposed to wait for them to join forces, and then I'll be the one lying on the ground? Besides, aren't they still alive?"
Hearing Shen Jing's aggressive questions, Huang You didn't get angry but laughed instead.
In the post-apocalyptic world, many private disputes are decided by life and death, because the strong always speak the truth.
People don't live long enough to live, so who would be willing to swallow their anger and suffer in silence? As a result, disputes and fights continued to break out at the base.
That makes sense, but she was being way too arrogant!
No one would believe it if you said it wasn't because of the He family's power.
Huang You glanced around at everyone's reactions and suddenly dropped a bombshell: "This philosophy of not wanting to suffer losses is actually very much in line with our Huang family. Miss Shen, would you be willing to cooperate with our Huang family?"
Shen Jing was taken aback; she had been prepared for Huang You to suddenly launch an attack.
Huang You's public gesture of extending an olive branch stunned everyone present who were waiting to see Shen Jing's downfall!
Besides surprise, they were mostly panicked and terrified, because they had just complained to Shen Jing in front of her.
"But...didn't Shen Jing seek refuge with the He family?"
Someone in the crowd whispered, just loud enough for Huang You to hear, trying to bring him to his senses.
It was obvious to anyone with eyes to see that the Huang family and the He family were at odds within the base.
Making peace is impossible, so why would I cooperate with the same person?
And shouldn't Shen Jing be the He family's little canary?
Could it be that Captain Huang also has feelings for this woman?
Huang You ignored everyone's questions and stared straight at Shen Jing: "What do you think?"
Shen Jing was very perceptive of the subtle thoughts of those around her, but she couldn't quite see through Huang You.
This person is indeed quite capable to be able to recruit so many superhumans. When Shen Jing looked again, she only saw sincerity in Huang You's eyes, and there was no doubt that he could eliminate everyone present with their own agendas with just a word from Shen Jing.
He is a natural leader, and such a person will thrive both before and after the apocalypse.
"I have always respected Grandpa He, and I don't think he would object to the Huang family's cooperation with you." Huang You directly responded to the person who had questioned him earlier. "Everyone is working for the base to develop better, so that the survivors can live a life similar to that before the apocalypse!"
As Huang You spoke, he glanced at Li Chu, who was watching from the outside, his eyes filled with a meaningful look.
"The Huang family is also willing to donate a new batch of supplies to the points redemption center."
"Wow! Captain Huang is right!"
"Waaah! I can't even imagine living like before the apocalypse..."
"The Huang family has actually donated supplies again. I heard they were already transporting supplies back to the base!"
By making such a grand display of their intention to cooperate and publicizing the Huang family's donation of supplies, the Huang family's calculations are quite cunning. Shen Jing crossed her arms and remained silent to comment.
Let's forget about cooperation; by now, the Huang family has probably already latched onto Gu Chen's coattails.
Otherwise, so many "superpowered individuals" wouldn't have suddenly appeared.
But it's unknown how many people the Huang family sacrificed to allow Gu Chen's evolution agent to successfully modify him!
Huang You just said that they shared the same ideals, but Shen Jing really declined. She had no desire to participate in or have any possibility of cooperating with anyone who would risk other people's lives to conduct such an experiment for their own selfish desires.
On the contrary, He Laoqian repeatedly warned against experimenting on living people, and he himself was the first test subject for the awakening agent and crystal core!
What was given to the volunteer guards were the dosage and crystal nucleus ratios that Gu Yan had obtained from data on white mice.
The difference in how the two companies handle things is immediately apparent.
According to the arrangement of her previous life, she might be captured by Gu Chen again.
Although she has the opportunity to awaken her superpowers in this life, she probably won't become a test subject for the evolution agent.
But who knows what other bad ideas Gu Chen might have up his sleeve!
Huang You, perhaps sensing Shen Jing's resistance, laughed heartily, "To be honest, our Huang family has discovered the secret of awakening superpowers. Miss Shen, don't you want to become a superpowered person as well?"
"You just don't want to 'hide' it from everyone, don't you?" Shen Jing shook her head and chuckled.
