The sound came from a loudspeaker and was extremely loud.
This means that there is electricity in the Pingyun base, and people living in the base may even be able to use electrical appliances.
This realization thrilled the three members of the Ye family. As soon as the car came to a stop and Zhang Xin turned off the engine, the three of them jumped out of the car without hesitation.
Zhang Xin and Chi Xia remained seated in the car without moving.
Chi Xia patted Mengmeng on her knee and looked at Zhang Xin, saying, "I was just about to ask you if pets are allowed at Pingyun Base, but it seems there's no need to ask now."
Resources are scarce in the post-apocalyptic world, and people with superpowers are even rarer, making them the most scarce resource in every base.
If Zhang Xin were from the Pingyun Base, regardless of whether the base would allow her to go out on adventures alone, the base should recognize this car.
Having not thought about it carefully before, Chi Xia realized upon hearing the base's announcement that Zhang Xin, like the Ye family, had come to seek refuge with the Pingyun base.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xin raised an eyebrow and smiled gracefully: "From beginning to end, I haven't said a single word that I'm from the Pingyun Base. What about you? Aren't you getting off the bus?"
"No, thank you." Chi Xia lowered her eyes and said calmly, "You go ahead."
Zhang Xin glanced outside and saw the three members of the Ye family scrambling to give their names. He nodded knowingly to Chi Xia and said, "Okay, you can keep this key for now. If they don't accept me, you can return the key to me, and we can leave together."
Chi Xia took the key from her with some surprise. She was an ability user, someone that all bases were vying for. How could Pingyun Base not accept her?
But Zhang Xin clearly had no intention of explaining; after handing the car keys to Chi Xia, she got out of the car.
Unlike the Ye family's boastful self-introductions, she only said two words: "Zhang Xin".
After they all introduced themselves, especially after Zhang Xin gave his name, the people in the base seemed to fall silent. After a while, the loudspeaker sounded again: "Do any of you have superpowers?"
Upon hearing the question about superpowers, the three members of the Ye family were stunned for a moment, then immediately started shouting, "Isn't Pingyun Base supposed to be a place that accepts living people? Why do we need to check if they have superpowers?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the base's loudspeaker blared: "Due to a shortage of supplies, the base is temporarily not accepting people without superpowers. People without superpowers can go two kilometers west. There is a camp for people without superpowers there. I'll ask you again, do you have any superpowers? If you do, you can bring one family member in!"
The three members of the Ye family looked at each other, and then couldn't help but look at Chi Xia in the car.
However, given what had happened before, none of them dared to bring it up now. Moreover, they could only bring one person, and they couldn't guarantee that she would choose them.
Chi Xia sat in the car with her head down, pretending not to hear.
Seeing that they remained silent, the loudspeaker blared again: "Are there no superhumans? If not, you can go to the non-superhuman camp. If you go early, you might find a suitable spot."
Upon hearing this, the three members of the Ye family became a little anxious. They nudged each other with their hands and arms, but none of them dared to step forward.
Zhang Xin, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up: "Zhang Xin, psychic, level 4."
After hearing this, there was a moment of silence from the loudspeaker before a voice came through again: "Black...Black Widow, Zhang Xin?"
Upon hearing this address, Zhang Xin's expression remained unchanged. She merely tossed her long, wavy hair and said indifferently, "It's me."
The loudspeaker went silent again.
Faint sounds of various requests and reports could be heard from inside. After an unknown amount of time, the loudspeaker finally started playing again.
"Sorry, you are not welcome at our base."
