Chapter 258



Previously, many senior experts from their family had gone out, but they had never encountered any high-grade mutated plants or animals. The main reason was that they were few in number and hard to come by.

This made the crystal cores that Meng Qiulan and Liang You brought back even more useful and valuable.

At this moment, Shen Qian's voice rang out: "Captain Ye, the amount you mentioned is exactly the same."

After she came in and sat down, Ye Shang told her a number. Before she met these people, she was a little confused about what it meant. But when Ye Shang asked her to count the things, she realized what it meant.

Ye Shang nodded in agreement: "Let's continue, there are still some at the Meng family's place."

After speaking, he looked at Meng Qiulan.

Throughout the entire process, none of the Meng family members had a chance to interrupt. Meng Qiulan gestured to her eldest brother, Meng Zongzhe, to place the energy stone they had brought out on the table.

Meng Zongzhe took out an energy stone from his storage bag and threw it in front of Shen Qian.

Ye Shang's eyes were deep. He glanced at it and said only, "Isn't the amount wrong?"

Meng Zongzhe's face turned red: "That's all that's written on your IOU."

Ye Shang looked at them with a half-smile: "Do you need me to release the communication records?"

Each meeting room is equipped with a projection screen, and the computer automatically saves communication records, even video call footage, which will remain unless the computer user deletes them.

Meng Zongzhe: ......

Meng Qiulan shrank back and remained silent. The whole thing stemmed from Madam Meng, and this matter obviously couldn't be brought up directly.

Meng Zongping's expression was also unpleasant. He said with a grin, "The IOU clearly states the price. Captain Ye, you're not trying to force me, are you?"

Ye Shang didn't want to talk to the two of them anymore, so he lowered his head and fiddled with his personal terminal.

Meng Zongzhe's expression immediately darkened. He glared at his younger brother and said, "Captain Ye, my brother is still young. I was just joking. This is the other half of the amount of Ink Star Stones. Please take a look."

He placed another bag, roughly the same size as the previous one, on the table.

Shen Qian sensibly took the items and counted the amount.

As she counted, no one spoke up anymore; everyone knew she was not someone to be fooled.

After Shen Qian finished counting, she nodded to Ye Shang: "The quantity is correct."

Ye Shang's expression softened somewhat, and with a wave of his hand, he stored all the energy stones into his spatial storage.

The others present held their breath. Was this the power of superhumans in the modern world?

Unfortunately, because they practiced mystical arts, they were unable to awaken their supernatural abilities or transform into zombies.

In the beginning, none of the reclusive family members were corrupted. At first, everyone thought it was luck, until they learned about their own abilities and realized that it was because of the mysterious energy.

After putting away the energy stone, Ye Shang said to everyone present, "Since you've come to the Fifth Base, you can stay here for a few days and experience it."

Her ideas remained unchanged; she still wanted to bring out all these reclusive talents to fight against external disasters together.

As fellow human beings of the Flower Kingdom, how can we remain confined to a corner forever?

In fact, the group did come out with this intention in mind: to see how far the current world's development has progressed, whether it has returned to its pre-apocalyptic state, or even taken a step further.

They all agreed to stay, so Ye Shang instructed Han Yi to inform others to prepare a room for them to stay temporarily.

After arranging everything, Ye Shang returned to the training ground. In a few days, she would leave the base again, taking people to the Ninth and Tenth Bases.

I heard that because it's newly established, things are still a bit chaotic there, and there have even been incidents of burning, killing, looting, and rioting. The temporary base commander is having trouble keeping things under control.

So when they called for help at the Fifth Base, during the meeting, Ye Shang felt that she could personally lead the team there and see what the people there were like.

Everyone was relieved. With Captain Ye on patrol, there was no need to worry too much. For the Fifth Base, if Qingli was the brain, responsible for all kinds of matters, then Ye Shang was the one who suppressed everything.

Two days later.

Ye Shang led Song Wenwen's team and also selected dozens of people from other teams. It has to be said that Song Wenwen's team was indeed more disciplined.

They're not much different from regular troops.

Most of the superhuman troops remain in key positions at the base, where they not only train year-round but also safeguard the base's security.

The law is not yet perfect, and Qingli is busy with this matter day and night. Obviously, many aspects of the legal culture before the end times can continue to be used, but many others can no longer be continued.

For example, different laws are needed to govern the relationship between ordinary people and people with superpowers.

Although everyone thinks that people with superpowers should have a higher status than ordinary people, Qingli has tried her best to keep this class to a minimum, so as to prevent people with superpowers from treating the lives of ordinary people as worthless. Otherwise, human life would really be insignificant.

This is not the world Ye Shang wanted to see, nor is it the world Qing Li wanted to see.

Both sides are making different efforts in their respective fields, using order to maintain this somewhat dilapidated world.

Ye Shang went to the tenth base first, not in numerical order, and this time she also brought along the five people from the hidden clan.

Let them see what a base with little order is like.

In the past two days, the fifth base they have seen, as well as the first and second bases they have traveled to by high-speed train, are basically the same as the present world they saw before the apocalypse.

When Ye Shang led his group to the Tenth Base, there was still some chaos ahead.

Fortunately, upon receiving the news, the commander of the Tenth Base immediately ordered the superhuman army protecting him to bring him out to greet Ye Shang.

Now, you need an army of superhumans to go out; otherwise, you might not even be able to leave the house.

Chen Zhong, the base commander of the tenth district, looked somewhat disheveled and old, but he was in his prime. His superpowers were flight and electric/magnetic abilities, making him a dual-power expert. Otherwise, Qingli would not have arranged for him to take on this role.

"Captain Ye, you've finally arrived." Chen Zhong said with a helpless and bitter expression.

He has been almost completely exhausted lately. Even though he has powerful abilities, every time he suppresses one place, another fire breaks out there. It's almost impossible to defend against them all.

Sometimes, when there are too many riots, his own superpowers are simply not enough to protect him.

That's why they mobilized an army of superhumans to protect them at all times.

Seeing his tired expression, Ye Shang said, "Let's go inside first."

Before the group even entered the base, people started hurling insults at them from the outside. The area was packed with people, and some were even robbing people while shouting profanities.

Chen Zhong hurriedly led his men over, trying to stop those who wanted to use force.

Ye Shang narrowed his eyes slightly. These people didn't look like ordinary people...
