Chapter 337 We Are Not Pushovers
There are only about twenty servings of rice noodles, and they are gone once they are sold out.
But there were still many people who hadn't bought rice noodles and ice cream, and they were all crowded outside, staring at the homeless people who were wolfing down the food from plastic bowls, but they didn't dare to go up and grab it.
Just now, someone tried to snatch food, and a bolt of lightning struck him directly in front of him, singeing a layer of his eyelashes.
Green pepper and shredded pork rice noodles are very popular.
When Wang Xi got the news and rushed over, he smelled the fragrance from afar.
But they have been sold out. There are too many people blocking the way and drooling. Some people even buy the plastic boxes left by the homeless people at high prices. It's outrageous.
Luo Yunjin closed the window. She didn't mean to attract attention. She just wanted to clear out the rice noodles piled up in the refrigerator on a whim.
The RV slowly drove away.
"Chief, they're going too far, selling such good food at such a low price to these homeless people."
"Yeah, and the bowl is quite filling. With so many low-end rice noodles, it's enough for each of us to have a bite. It's such a waste."
Wang Xi had seen the girl casually take out a few baskets of apples before, and he could tell that she was very wealthy and definitely had no shortage of supplies, but he didn't expect her to be so willful.
This made him suspect that he had other plans. These homeless people were all water-based mutants who were expelled from the safe zone.
Wang Xi pondered over it, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Both of them came across the sea, perhaps because they were attracted by the Feng Shui treasure land of their Nan Ya Safe Zone.
"They exchanged all the crystal cores and didn't even bring back a single primary zombie crystal core!"
"What's the point of raising you? For a little food, all those crystal cores were exchanged."
Several people punched and kicked the homeless man who was squatting in the corner.
They need to collect low-level zombie crystal cores for experiments. Now there is a shortage of water and water crystal cores, and the water crystal cores will run out one day.
The Nan Ya Safe Zone and the Yingli Base are jointly conducting an experiment to transform ordinary psychics into water-based psychics, so as to minimize the pressure and burden of water shortages.
However, experiments always fail. Many people have indeed been transformed into water-based mutants, but they are unable to advance and are stuck at the first level for their entire lives. Moreover, due to the influence of experimental radiation, they carry an unknown radiation virus in their bodies.
This virus can cause dizziness in people who are close to it, and they will also carry the same virus over time.
In order to prevent them from threatening the base and the safe zone, all those mutants who participated in the experiment but failed were driven out.
They are going out to look for low-level zombie crystal cores in exchange for some supplies.
Many of the psychics who participated in the experiment were previously at the sixth or seventh level, but now they can only become small first-level water psychics. Although they are not short of water, the viruses in their bodies make them tense all the time.
Most people choose to give up, and play it off for as long as possible.
Wang Xi snorted coldly and led a group of people to one of the earthen houses. In order to prevent the high temperature from affecting the experiments, the precious crops and laboratories in the safe zone were built underground.
The greenhouses in the open are full of ordinary vegetables, and the truly precious plants in the entire safe zone are all underground.
The cellar behind the mud house hides the biggest secret of the entire safe zone.
The reason why milk fruit trees are difficult to plant in other places is that they require special soil, and mutant planting people need to provide the fruit trees with superpowers continuously.
A fruit tree bears fruit once every seven days under the influence of supernatural powers, and one fruit tree can produce 30-50 milk fruits.
It can be said that every milk fruit is made by the supernatural powers of mutant planting people, so it is extremely precious.
In addition to milk apples, there are also a few common fruits and some vegetables grown here.
The laboratory is deeper underground and is powered by a generator. Many people with special abilities have taken the initiative to join the experiment. At this stage, people with special abilities of a certain class can be trained to become water-based people of the same class.
But they still face drawbacks and will never be able to advance again.
"Chief, our experiment this time was very successful. Maybe we can make a breakthrough and cultivate ordinary people into water-type mutants." The man in the lab coat said excitedly.
"I came here this time to ask you, is there a weapon that can directly capture high-level psychics? I found a space-based psychic. She is very powerful and has a lot of supplies in space." Wang Xi said evilly.
Mu Tianlan was a little surprised. "A star-level space-based psychic? It's indeed rare. If we can win over such a psychic, it will be better for the development of our safe zone."
"There is another man, and both of them have good superpowers. But I don't want to win them over. I want them to be your experimental subjects. All you need to do is hand over the crystal core of the space-type superpower to me." A hint of greed flashed in Wang Xi's eyes.
He won't let anyone shake his position in the safe zone.
As long as he gets the space crystal core and those supplies, he is fully capable of expanding the Nan Ya safe zone.
Mu Tianlan curled his lips, "I will definitely help you. You just need to bring them into the laboratory. Here, even high-level supernormal people can't withstand the high-voltage magnetic field unless they wear special tokens. If we can have supernormal people become test subjects, our experiments will progress much faster!"
The two reached a consensus and smiled at each other.
Colorful lights flickered around the corners of the laboratory, and many survivors connected to various pipes were soaked in the surrounding glass jars. They all relied on nutrient solution to survive.
In one of the glass jars, Mu Tianxiong's eyes were red and his whole body was trembling. A lot of liquid nitrogen was forcefully injected into his body. If it weren't for his strong superpowers and good physical fitness, he would have died long ago.
Mu Tianlan conducted various experiments on him and kept him alive, purely to torture him.

The RV patrolled the Nan Ya safety zone all around, and it was all barren mounds with flying sand in the air.
The scenery is nothing special, just quite desolate.
Those homeless people had traveled long distances before, but here there was not even a shadow of a zombie to be seen. There was only one gathering place for survivors in the Nan Ya safe zone nearby, and the ruins of the city were almost invisible.
Before the end of the world, this place should have been farmland or forest, and the entire Nan Ya safe zone was embedded in the basin.
No wonder the safe zone looks so bleak. Not only do they have to grow crops in a harsh environment, but they also have to suffer from sandstorms. You can see that many houses there show signs of destruction and reconstruction.
"If I lived here, I would be worried to death. The environment here is too harsh and there are no living things around. The people in that safe zone are a bit neurotic and isolated from the world." Luo Yunjin held his chin with both hands and stared at the scenery outside in a daze.
"This continent is very narrow, and the land is rugged, which is normal." Lin Xi parked the car on the side of the road. This area is full of high slopes like this, and the car is likely to slide backwards.
The tabby boy also leaned against the window. "Now that we have nothing left to use, we might as well consider this a trip. It's not bad. I've never seen a loess desert like this before, and I wonder if I can see desert cats."
When it was bored these two days, it read a comic book about various cats, which included various cats.
What about small civets, manuls, desert cats...
Some cats are wild and handsome. They think that when they want to find a partner in the future, they will look for a handsome little female cat like this.
The leopard cat would occasionally pester it to read comic books, but was directly thrown away by the tabby cat with a big brush bag.
"Maybe. There are quite a lot of mutant animals here, but they appear and disappear mysteriously, and we don't know what they usually eat." Luo Yunjin murmured. In the absence of water and food, would these mutant animals also grow their own crops like the small animals in the Four Corners Mountains?
When Luo Yunjin thought of a group of furry animals lining up to farm, the corresponding picture automatically emerged in his mind. It felt very cute.
But unfortunately, there was no living creature around.
It would be really lonely if I had to stay here for five days.
"Let's drive a little further and walk around. There's nothing but sand and dirt here." The girl hugged the man's arm and shook it.
Lin Xi rarely saw her act coquettishly, so he agreed without hesitation.
The RV slowly rose into the air and flew towards a desolate firewood forest not far away.
This place should have been full of green trees, but after the end of the world, it turned into a dead forest. Many of the woods are still very strong, and the chirping of insects can still be heard in the forest.
There should be creatures like mutated insects living here.
There are paths trampled by humans in the dead woods, and many trees show signs of being cut down.
Pa pa.
There was a sound of branches being broken.
A dirty-faced boy held a sickle in one hand and a bloody mutant pheasant in the other. He looked at the RV with vigilance, as if facing a great enemy, and unconsciously hid the pheasant behind his back.
Then he suddenly ran backwards.
There were many people hiding in the woods, and as the boy ran, they also fled in all directions.
Many people were dressed exactly like the homeless people they had seen outside the Nan Ya Safe Zone.
The RV followed them to a simple wooden house deep in the dead woods.
The people who had just fled were now hiding in the wooden house.
Everyone held a sickle or a hoe in his hand.
A woman wearing a fur skirt, a chicken feather crown on her head, and chicken feather bracelets on her wrists.
"No vehicles or outsiders are allowed to enter here!" Several flames ignited on the feather duster in the woman's hand, and as she waved her arms, the flames formed a wall of fire in front of her.
"Don't get me wrong, we don't mean anything else. We're just passing by for tourism." Luo Yunjin opened the car window, revealing a fair and pretty little face.
Xiao Yun was dazzled by her beauty.
I face a group of pale and skinny people every day, but now when I see a beautiful girl, I feel fresh and refined at first glance, and my mood becomes better for no reason, as if it has been purified.
Luo Yunjin got out of the car, and Lin Xi and the tabby boy also walked to her side. The three of them had fair skin and beautiful looks, a breath of fresh air.
Judging from their appearance and the exquisite RV, you can tell that they are high-level psychics. They also said they were traveling. Now it is the end of the world, would ordinary people go traveling?
Xiao Yun guessed their intentions.
"Don't mind us, we were just passing by and were bored." The tabby boy said casually. He saw a cat lying next to the wooden pole of one of the wooden houses, and his eyes lit up.
And a little tabby cat with the same color, but too thin.
"I saw corn and bacon hanging on your house. Can I exchange some bacon with you? I can exchange fruits and vegetables." Luo Yunjin broke the silence. In this situation of food shortage, those who are willing to exchange precious food are not bad people. Luo Yunjin thought that they should have the same mentality.
She took a small fruit platter straight from the car, which contained apricots, grapes, apples and oranges.
Xiao Yun hasn't seen such fresh fruits for a long time. Bacon is easy to make, but mutant animals are hard to find now.
But fruits are hard to come by. The people with planting abilities here are simply unable to grow fruits. They can only grow some vegetables, which everyone can only eat occasionally.
This basket of fruit is enough for everyone to share two.
Unlike the selfish Wang Xi in the Nan Ya safe zone, Xiao Yun was willing to exchange and shared the fruits as soon as he got them.
Most of the people living in the wooden house are children and the elderly, and there are few young people.
They all held the fruits with great care, their eyes sparkling. Some children took the apples and sniffed them under their noses, feeling very sad.
"You can actually go to the Four Corners Mountains. Although there are zombies and mutant animals there, they are all very kind and will not bully people for no reason. You can also seek shelter there." Luo Yunjin couldn't help but say.
"Four-Corner Mountains?" Xiao Yun picked up an apricot at random and took a bite. It was very sweet!
"Well, it's not far from here. With so many of you in this forest, the food will run out sooner or later. And you should all be from the Nanya Safe Zone, right?"
Xiao Yun's eyes changed slightly, "You also traded milk fruit with that safe zone?"
"Yes, with five hundred kilograms of apples."
"Run! The leader of the Nanya Safe Zone is ruthless and might have already set his sights on you." Xiao Yun revealed the knife wound on his wrist. "That safe zone is conducting secret experiments to transform ordinary psychics into water-based psychics. If the experiments fail, they will all be expelled."
"Wang Xi is extremely greedy. You should not make any deals with him. I don't know what experiment that milk fruit was made from. It's extremely crude and is designed to lure high-level psychics like you. Many people have been lured into his laboratory and become his experimental subjects."
Luo Yunjin nodded, "I know, I've met quite a few people like this."
Whether it is the cheap elder brother Luo Yuanting, Chang Yinxue from H City, the ability activation potion from Xilin Base, or Zeng Zishan from Beiming Base, they are all experiment maniacs.
And all this seems to be closely related to the Mu family.
Chang Yinxue is a member of the Mu family, and the Xilin Base and Beiming Base also have cooperation with the Mu family.
"In that case, aren't you afraid? There are many weapons in the laboratory that are designed for people with special abilities. Even high-level people with special abilities will be affected." Xiao Yun said worriedly.
What she was afraid of was that Wang Xi would follow Luo Yunjin and the others and turn his attention back to their failed experiments, which would then be more trouble than it was worth.
"Don't worry, they are just little tricks. We are also collecting various clues. Come if you want, we are not pushovers." Luo Yunjin shook his shoulders indifferently.
