In the center of the building's main lobby stands a huge electronic screen, on which scrolling messages prominently display the progress of various tasks.
Lin Ruo stood in front of the big screen for a while, reading through all the scrolling text on it.
According to what those people said before, these tasks should have been distributed by the Pharmaceutical Research Association. If these superpowered teams fail to complete them and bring back so many mutated plants or crystal cores, they will not only lose the corresponding points, but will also be punished accordingly.
So, was the information about her mountain peak deliberately leaked by the pharmaceutical research association?
She didn't relax her mental focus at all. After observing carefully, she discovered that these superpowered teams would go to the window next to them when they handed in or received missions. She walked over and stood by the window.
It was discovered that these teams of superhumans only received missions to bring back a certain number of mutated plants, and the staff did not suggest where to find plants that matched the mission requirements.
Lin Ruo stroked his chin. If it was the Pharmaceutical Research Association that did it, they wouldn't have put all their hopes on just one superpowered team. If they wanted to cast a wide net, they would have to do it in a certain way. Revealing the details when issuing the mission would be the best method.
Or do they have other ways to do this? Or is this matter unrelated to the Pharmaceutical Research Association?
Just then, the captain of a team of superhumans nearby took advantage of the fact that no one was looking to hand two crystal cores to the staff inside and asked in a low voice, "Could you give us a specific location? Where can we find mutated plants of this level?"
The staff member looked at the crystal core with great envy, but still sighed and said, "If we knew where it was, the base would have sent people to get it long ago. Why would we give you so many points to issue missions? Don't even think about it. These high points are just to make you search everywhere."
After hearing this, the squad leader sighed deeply, didn't take the two crystal cores back, just forced a smile, said thank you, and turned to leave.
Lin Ruo's eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed this matter had little to do with the Pharmaceutical Research Association? So the person spreading the news was trying to use someone else to do their dirty work?
Everything right now is still just Lin Ruo's speculation; she needs to find out the truth before she can take revenge.
Then, looking at the captains of so many superpowered teams lined up at the window, she slowly smiled. It's okay, they'll definitely slip up again.
She soon found the "doctor" they had mentioned in a research lab. He was pale and sickly, wearing frameless glasses and a clean white lab coat, but he had a peaceful demeanor.
Xu Chenfeng sat on a sofa with his eyes closed, resting. He kept pressing his temples with his fingers, while a water-type ability user next to him reported the situation.
"Doctor, we have reached cooperation agreements with other bases for the recovery potion we are researching. They can basically accept the conditions we offered, but the mutated plants we need are of a very high grade, so they said they would have to wait a little longer."
“The Qinglin Base has been having minor skirmishes with us lately, and they seem to have some ill intentions.”
"We've already contacted the base in City B, but they said they need to think about it some more."
"But during this meeting, there was something puzzling. The staff who were in contact with us reminded us more than once that the helicopter should go around the mountain peaks on the east side of Yanshan Mountain in City B."
Xu Chenfeng lowered his hand and chuckled, "Of course they can't agree so quickly. The Crystal Energy Cannon is currently the most powerful weapon. It doesn't matter. As long as they know how effective our potions are, they won't hesitate anymore. We are so far away from the B City base that we don't pose any threat to them."
"As for that man's advice, let's do as he says for now, and then find out what's on that mountain peak on the east side that's making the people of City B so wary of it."
“Yes,” the superhuman nodded quickly, then remembered something else, “We just received a large shipment of crystal cores, and the base is asking us for more crystal cores.”
Xu Chenfeng didn't answer his question, but instead asked, "What happened to the children in the underground base who didn't test positive for superpowers?"
Having followed Xu Chenfeng for so long, this person with superpowers immediately understood his meaning. "Don't worry, the base's higher-ups strictly followed your instructions. All the children who weren't detected with superpowers were sent to training camps; none of them were abandoned."
Xu Chenfeng nodded, "Then allocate another batch of crystal cores to the base and tell the Superpower Team 3 to keep a close eye on the base's high-ranking officials. If they discover any unusual activity, kill them on the spot."
"yes."
After hearing this conversation, Lin Ruo couldn't help but touch her nose. It seemed that she was really like a living Yama in City B. When others went to make a deal, the helicopter had to go around her mountain peak.
However, it seems that the Pharmaceutical Research Association is not very clear about her affairs, so the previous guesses are now only one possibility, and her eyes slowly turned cold.
Seeing the superhuman respectfully leave the laboratory, Lin Ruo came to her senses. It seemed that although this doctor at the C City base was not the base director, he was like a regent, wielding great power. He had so many superhumans under his command, controlled the economic lifeline of the entire base, and could even kill the base's higher-ups at will.
The superhuman just mentioned the Qinglin Base. With such a similar name, Lin Ruo immediately thought of the Qinglin Gang, who had provided her with a large amount of supplies before the apocalypse. It seems that this is the base that the Qinglin Gang established after the apocalypse.
The current base in City C has absolutely no connection with the Qinglin Gang.
But why would someone like the Doctor have such a kind heart and keep these children who haven't awakened their special abilities to be nurtured?
