When they got close to the cave, they saw a sign next to it that read, "Ability users can join the base with priority."
Wu Zhang immediately walked to the front of the line and said to the staff, "We have five people with superpowers in our team. Can the whole team join us?"
"Yes, please come with us."
At this moment, the staff member first reported to the inside via walkie-talkie, and when she looked up again, she saw Fang Ling in the group. She frowned slightly, "Is this lady also a superhuman?"
Fan Shaoyong frowned slightly. "What's wrong?"
The staff member shook his head, maintaining a smile, and said, "There will be staff inside to answer your questions. Please follow me."
Following the staff member into the cave, it was much cooler than outside. The cave was quite spacious, and the survivors who had joined the base had set up tents inside. It was clear that the base had just been established, as there weren't many tents yet.
As we walked to the very back, a refined-looking man emerged, waved slightly to the staff member who had led the way, and the staff member nodded and left.
Fan Shaoyong and his group frowned slightly upon seeing the man before them, instinctively sensing danger, but none of them spoke, remaining on guard because they could smell a faint scent of blood on him; this man was also a cannibal.
"Don't be nervous, come on, let's go inside and talk."
At the very back of the cave were a dozen or so huge tents. Several people emerged from these tents one after another, their eyes filled with hostility. But they could tell that the others were all superhumans. There were only a dozen or so superhumans in this base.
They followed the man into the innermost tent. Fan Shaoyong gave a signal to the people behind him, and only two of them followed into the tent, while the rest stood outside waiting.
The refined-looking man ignored them, walked to the sofa in the tent, sat down, and smiled at Fan Shaoyong, saying, "Sit down and let's talk."
Fan Shaoyong sat opposite the man, still not speaking, but constantly scrutinizing and wary of him.
The man chuckled. "My name is Yao Huabing, and I'm the base commander. What's your name?"
Fan Shaoyong didn't understand Yao Huabing's purpose, and simply said, "My name is Fan Shaoyong."
Yao Huabing nodded, picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip of water, and then said with a smile, "I know you have many questions in your mind right now, and I can help you answer them one by one."
"First, there's the woman who was following you earlier. The reason the two major bases are searching for her so extensively is because of an ice-type ability user. That ice-type ability user is very powerful. She said that the woman in your team is her enemy, and the two major bases are willing to help her find her in order to curry favor with her."
"An ice-type ability user? An enemy?" When Fan Shaoyong heard this news, many thoughts flashed through his mind. Since it wasn't to protect this woman, there was still room for maneuver between them and the two major bases. Perhaps they could even make some money off that ice-type ability user.
Seeing the change in Fan Shaoyong's expression, Yao Huabing knew what he was thinking. He chuckled and said, "This is the second thing I want to tell you: it's impossible for you to live peacefully with the two major bases."
"Why?" Fan Shaoyong frowned. Why wouldn't the two bases coexist peacefully with them for no reason? There were five superhumans in their team, and his superhuman ability had reached level 3.
Yao Huabing pointed to his own nose and chuckled, "Do you think I want to stay in this dilapidated cave? The B City base has built an underground base. As a level 3 ability user, wouldn't it be better for me to go to the base and enjoy myself?"
Fan Shaoyong was taken aback; it turned out that this person was also a Level 3 ability user.
Yao Huabing then sighed and continued, "The two bases are working together to eliminate cannibals in the bases. I knew this when I saw you. We are kindred spirits. Before I came, the B City base had already carried out a major sweep, even executing a Level 3 Metal-type Ability User. You can tell how determined the two bases are."
"But we outsiders who came here, how could we survive because of the supplies we brought? Without food, cannibalism is very common. The two major bases couldn't accommodate us, so I had no choice but to build this base."
After speaking frankly, Yao Huabing hadn't hidden anything from Fan Shaoyong, which confirmed the credibility of his words. In that case, they really had no choice but to stay at this base.
"We cannibals are not well-liked, so we can only stick together for warmth. See those survivors constantly joining the base outside? They will be our food supply in the future. So, how about it? Do you want to stay?"
When Yao Huabing asked this question with a smile, he knew in his heart that these people in front of him would not refuse, as they had nowhere else to go but here.
"Joining the base is fine, but expecting us to completely obey your orders is not acceptable." As the highest-level superhuman currently, Fan Shaoyong still didn't want to be ordered around by others.
"In our base, people with superpowers are the elite. They can do whatever they want, they can...do whatever they want!" Yao Huabing smiled frankly, spreading his hands.
"good!"
Fan Shaoyong agreed, but what he was thinking about was how to deal with the woman outside—whether to kill her or spare her.
His expression was unpredictable, revealing all his thoughts. Yao Huabing sneered inwardly, thinking that such a person was not worthy of his trap.
“We should keep that woman outside,” Yao Huabing said, picking up an empty glass and pouring Fan Shaoyong a glass of water. “She will be very useful to us. You’re new here, so you don’t know yet, but this ice-type ability user is quite famous. She asked for 50 crystal cores as payment when she approached this woman. Don’t you want it?”
