Chapter 288 It's like celebrating the Lunar New Year
Some people were shocked, saying, "There have been rumors online that the commander of the Dawn Base is not only strong but also ruthless. I've seen it for myself today. Killing someone is easier than killing a chicken."
"I've been in this apocalypse for so long, what kind of bloody and brutal scenes haven't I seen? But today's blood rain is making my heart ache."
"Judging from the people from the Fierce Bear Base, they were all level six ability users, right? Yet they were completely helpless against Meng Shiwan. Are level seven ability users really that terrifying?"
"Got it. Don't mess with Dawn Base. And if you have to mess with Dawn Base, never mess with its commander. She kills people faster than she kills chickens."
The men who had just seen Meng Shiwan's appearance were now so frightened that they sat down on the ground, their fear mixed with a sense of relief at surviving a close call.
Fortunately, they were speaking softly and Meng Shiwan didn't hear them, otherwise they would have ended up like them.
"I will never cricket other people again, really."
"I will never be lustful again. It's too scary. The apocalypse is truly full of hidden talents. You can't offend anyone."
Just as everyone was processing what had just happened, another bang, and a large pile of supplies appeared on the ground stained with blood and flesh.
It's the supplies dropped by a space-age ability user who died.
Seeing this, Zhang Qiang immediately started cursing, "When they were trading, they were clearly unloading the supplies from the truck. I didn't see any space-age ability users in their group!"
Now that we're dying, supplies are dropping, so it seems they came prepared and deliberately framed us.
Lu Yu stepped forward and rummaged through the pile of supplies. Apart from some food, there were no particularly valuable items.
He found two vials of power-enhancing fluid and a bag of vegetables inside.
Lu Yu, carrying his things, said to everyone, "We do business honestly and never cheat on weights or measures, but don't even think about causing trouble. You've all seen what happened."
After saying that, he threw the two bottles of power-enhancing fluid and the vegetables back onto the pile of supplies.
Since it's already sold, we won't take it back.
He was afraid that these people might have some ulterior motives and poison it, then recycle and resell it; if something went wrong, that would be a real problem.
As everyone watched him throw his things away and leave, many people's eyes lingered on the pile of supplies, longingly but hesitant to approach and take them.
If this happened anywhere else, they would definitely rush up and loot it, and might even fight each other to the death.
That's a power-enhancing fluid, a power-enhancing fluid with 999 crystal cores!
Not only two, but eight more that weren't hidden in the space were also lying on the ground.
The eyes of those with superpowers were red with envy, but not a single one dared to step forward and pick it up.
It is clear that Meng Shiwan's words had a considerable deterrent effect on them.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Do you still want these supplies that were leaked, and those sweet potato vines lying on the ground?"
Just now, Meng Shiwan had forced the sweet potato vines to grow, and countless vines had spread outside the base. Now that she had withdrawn her power, these forced vines lay limply on the ground.
Piles and piles of them—for many people, these are fresh vegetables, a good thing.
Everyone stared intently at the supplies, not caring at all about the blood and flesh stained on them, waiting for Lu Yu to speak.
Lu Yu glanced back at them. Some people had already slowly walked towards the supplies, but no one dared to pick them up. Instead, they stared at the supplies with red eyes, enduring the pain.
Seeing a dozen or so vials of power-enhancing fluid right in front of you, but not being able to pick them up, would be painful for anyone.
Lu Yu warned them, "You know what happens when you rob and cause trouble here? I don't want to see any chaos. Also, we don't want those things anymore."
Hearing the first part of his words, everyone thought there was no hope of picking up supplies, but then Lu Yu changed his tone and said he didn't want them anymore.
People didn't care about queuing anymore; they all used their own methods to rush over and grab the food like crazy.
Flying, running, jumping, and tripping up those in front—the scene was incredibly intense.
Those who ran fast stuffed the power-enhancing liquid into their clothes. The people behind wanted to kill them, but remembering what Lu Yu had just said, they stopped themselves from killing and looting and changed their mind to robbing instead.
The scene was chaotic, but they acted swiftly.
When they run out of power-enhancing fluid, they steal vegetables; when they run out of vegetables, they steal other supplies.
In just a short while, the pile of supplies on the ground disappeared and ended up in everyone's hands.
One man was quite clever. Knowing he couldn't get the power-enhancing fluid, he rushed straight to Zhang Qiang from the very beginning, pulled out a knife from his waist, and slashed at the sweet potato vines along the edge of the base.
He would carefully glance up at Zhang Qiang after each chop, and seeing that Zhang Qiang ignored him, the man chopped even more vigorously.
After cutting it down, he carried a sweet potato vine as thick as an arm, with huge sweet potato leaves growing on it thanks to his superpower. He rolled it up and put it on himself; it was his.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he quickly chopped off the second one, grinning like a child who had found candy.
After he finished cutting the second one, many people realized what was happening and started scrambling for it. He, however, retreated to the side, clutching two large bunches of sweet potato vines tightly to his chest.
Once things calm down, robberies will be prohibited in this area.
The two bunches of sweet potato vines in his arms were his; as long as he didn't leave, no one would dare to take them from him.
Who says Dawn Base is bad? It's actually great.
In this chaotic world, we managed to create a peaceful place for them.
It's a great place where as long as you stay here, no one will dare to rob you.
There was a lot of messy supplies, and many people managed to grab something, even if it was just a few pieces of clothing, which was something to be happy about.
After all, it was free.
Those who managed to snatch the power-enhancing fluid immediately drank it down their throats to avoid others coveting it, and they were overjoyed, dancing with glee.
In an instant, all traces of the earlier horror vanished, and everyone was laughing as if it were a festive occasion.
Even the bright red bloodstains on the ground seemed festive.
"You people from Dawn Base are really nice. When will there be another event like this? I'd love to participate again."
"I suddenly wish that some of these clueless idiots would come every day, so we could get freebies every day."
"As expected of Dawn Base, they can even refuse to accept the sold ability enhancement fluid. That's a sign of their character. How could such a good base possibly skimp on the quality?"
They quickly sent messages to their relatives and friends to show off.
Those who missed the event were scratching their heads in regret, wishing they had gone to see the excitement.
Zhang Qiang was speechless at their changed expressions.
These people weren't like this just now.
