Chapter 317 Dirty Tricks
Wu Ming glanced at Meng Shiwan, seeing no sign of panic, and couldn't help but cautiously ask, "You don't already have some plans, do you? How ruthless is that?"
He has now realized that Meng Shiwan is not only ruthless, but also incredibly malicious.
Not only are fake black cubes scattered everywhere in Shangguan City, but they also like to throw them into latrines.
No good person would have thought of such a wicked trick.
Meng Shiwan asked, "Is the Fierce Bear Base the kind of place that's collectivist? Do they give their people badges or tokens to symbolize their prestigious status as ability users at the Fierce Bear Base?"
Wu Ming thought for a moment, "No, but the superhumans at the Fierce Bear Base all have a bear tattoo on the back of their hands to symbolize their identity."
The Fierce Bear Base is in chaos. They don't treat survivors like human beings at all. Superhumans run rampant, enjoying the fear and awe of ordinary people. As long as they show their tattoos, which symbolize their status, they can basically roam freely within their base.
Meng Shiwan smiled and said, "That makes things easier."
Wu Ming asked curiously, "What kind of dirty trick have you come up with? Tell me first."
Looking at the pond full of blooming lotus flowers in front of her, Meng Shiwan said, "Judging by the time, the selection of superhumans should be over. Let's go take a look."
After saying that, Meng Shiwan disappeared in a flash.
All that was left was Wu Ming helplessly shouting, "Take me with you! So what if you can use Flash? I can fly too!"
Muttering to himself, he unfurled his wings and flew toward the edge of the base.
The seven-day selection process has ended, and many people are waiting outside the base for the results to be announced.
Most of the people inside were just there to watch the spectacle.
For ordinary superhumans, hunting down level 2 zombies, especially hordes of them, is no easy task.
Many people gave up on the selection process at the very beginning, while many others perished in hordes of zombies or died in human raids.
I can still stand here now, doing my best to get through these seven days.
Regardless of the quantity of level 2 crystal cores they possess, they are all considered top performers.
Those who had already completed the verification and registration and were standing in the middle waiting for the rankings to be announced were all a little nervous.
Some people felt they had a lot of crystals and were full of confidence.
After seven days of hard work, whether I can get into Dawn Base and live a good life depends on this.
The onlookers were filled with envy.
"The two thousand non-superpowered individuals recruited before have already gone in. Some of them are professors with real abilities, and they even brought their families with them. I heard that life inside the Dawn Base is much better than we imagined."
"Previously, the people at Dawn Base didn't communicate much with the outside world, so we didn't know much about the specific situation inside Dawn Base."
Since those two thousand people went in, many of their relatives and friends haven't been able to enter Dawn Base, but all sorts of things happening inside have leaked out. I only have two words to say: I'm envious.
"Who would have thought that even in the apocalypse, you still need a high level of education to live a good life? I really regret not studying more back then."
"I heard that after they arrived, they were allocated land, and they could grow whatever they wanted to eat. They could sell the grain they grew to earn work points, or they could work to earn work points. There was also a hospital and a supermarket on the base, where the medicines and other supplies were very cheap."
A dozen or so work points are enough to see a doctor and buy medicine, and vegetables in the supermarket cost even fewer—just a few work points per pound. Their minimum daily wage is ten work points. Compared to that, the prices aren't just cheap, they're practically inexpensive.
The onlookers were filled with envy as they listened to these people revealing details of what was happening inside the Dawn Base.
In today's world, there are simply no medicines available for ordinary people. If they get sick, they can only tough it out, and if they can't tough it out, they will die.
Medicine is such a precious thing that we can't even see it.
Inside the Dawn Base, you can get some medicine for a cheap day's work, and even receive a doctor's consultation.
What kind of divine treatment is this?
Luxury fruits and vegetables that sell for tens or hundreds of crystal cores per kilogram outside only sell for a few work points per kilogram inside the Dawn Base.
How many kilograms of food can you buy with the work points you earn in a day?
Furthermore, land is directly allocated, and you can grow whatever you want to eat. There are also wood-type ability users to accelerate the ripening process, so you can harvest quickly after planting. You can eat whatever you want from your own land without spending any work points.
"Good heavens, I never dared to think like this when I was playing QQ Farm."
"We're all human, so how come there's such a huge difference? What's the difference between Dawn Base and Paradise?"
"That's nothing. See those tents over there? Those are the relatives and friends of those two thousand people who couldn't go in. They're staying here now, and the people inside are bringing them food."
"Forget about getting into Dawn Base, even just having some kind of relationship with someone inside Dawn Base can make a good living."
Looking up, they saw that there were indeed many small sheds and tents in the distance, near the edge of the Dawn Base, and people were walking back and forth.
Those people are very sensible; they stay a bit far away from here so they won't interfere with the activities of the people coming and going.
From a distance, the cluster of small sheds looked like a small village.
Those who are selected to enter the Dawn Base live a good life, but what about their families who can't get in? Are they just ignored?
It's not easy to be alive now and still have loved ones by your side.
They settled their families near the base, while they worked hard at the base to farm, buy supplies and food, and send them out to support their loved ones.
Meng Shiwan and Tao Yarong turned a blind eye to this phenomenon, letting them be as they pleased as long as they didn't cause any trouble.
These people live on the edge of the base. They are fed by their relatives inside, and there are also people from the Dawn Base watching over them to prevent anyone from causing trouble.
For a time, even the area around Dawn Base became a rare place free from danger and conflict.
People not only envy those who can enter Dawn Base, but now they even envy those who live near Dawn Base.
These days, it's not easy to have even a little bit of peace and stability.
As the superhumans verified their level-two crystal cores one by one, they were registered.
Tao Yarong handed the registration book to Meng Shiwan, "Sister, this is a list of the ability users who have come to register for the selection, and the number of level-two crystal cores they have."
Tao Yarong sorted the list from highest to lowest number, and as she turned the pages, she found a list of nearly 10,000 people.
Some people have tens of thousands of crystal cores.
The last person had only three or five.
Meng Shiwan flipped to the number of crystal cores up to the 2,000th place, which was 1,300.
In one week, they hunted down 1,300 level-two zombies. It seems there are quite a few talented people participating this time.
"Let's proceed as previously agreed, and also announce some conditions for recruiting people with superpowers in the future."
