Although before collecting the supplies, everyone had agreed that the collected supplies would be distributed according to work, the weird behavior of the zombies improved the efficiency of collecting supplies. Therefore, all the supplies were still divided equally. Yu Beiyan and Wei Xicheng had no objection to this, but Da Lei looked a little angry.
These changes also altered the original plan of staying for a few days. Even due to Yu Beiyan's special abilities, everyone did not encounter the dangers in the original plot and arrived at City Z ahead of time.
From a distance, everyone could see the tall isolation net that enclosed a corner of the city and prevented the zombies from harassing the residents.
Lin Lei frowned. Such isolation measures seemed good, but in fact, he had already understood the evolution speed of zombies along the way. It would not take long for high-level zombies to break through these isolation nets.
By then, the residents will face an extraordinary disaster, and before that the urgent question is how to reinforce these isolation nets.
What Lin Lei was worried about was actually what the top management of the base in the city was worried about.
The convoy stopped at the entrance. After knowing that there were two superpowers in their group, the guard on duty at the entrance became much more respectful. When the zombies came, it was the superpowers who served as the vanguard and the backbone to resist.
What's more, the other members of this team don't seem to be too weak.
Z City Base, where the original character Mu Shuyang died in the original plot.
Wei Xicheng narrowed his eyes, pulled Yu Beiyan through the inspection, and strode into the isolation net.
"Wait a moment, both of you!"
The vehicle was parked not far from the entrance. Before they had time to find a place to stay, they were stopped by the people behind them.
A man who looked like a guard trotted up to Wei Xicheng and Yu Beiyan and saluted respectfully.
"Hello, the base has arranged more comfortable accommodation for people with special abilities. Please follow me."
Wei Xicheng and Yu Beiyan looked at each other and were about to follow the guard to leave.
But Lin Jianbai didn't expect that he would speak at this time, "Shu Yang and Brother Yu? You guys are just leaving like this?"
Wei Xicheng smiled and turned to look at him, "What else?"
Yu Beiyan turned around with a cold look in his eyes. Lin Jianbai took a step back and continued to ask, "Then where are our friends?"
"We are not friends, we are just partners." Wei Xicheng interrupted Lin Jianbai coldly. He didn't need to play any tricks with him. In the end times where strength is respected, he can ignore some scum.
After saying this, he glanced at the Lin siblings, only to see that Lin Huan's face was flushed. Lin Lei didn't say anything, just looked into the distance, as if he didn't care much about whether the two of them stayed or left.
"Shu Yang..." Da Lei wanted to say something, but was stopped by Mei Zi. She said, "Why are you trying to get close to her? She's a superpower. Don't even think about getting close to her."
Da Lei's eyes dimmed and he retreated silently.
"Wait." Wei Xicheng asked the guard, "This is our friend, can we let him live near us? There's no need to bother making arrangements for the others."
"Okay." The guard nodded.
The three of them left. Yu Sheng and Mei Zi's resentful eyes could hardly be restrained, but Lin Jianbai, who had spoken at the beginning, remained silent.
"Let's separate now." Lin Lei took out some of the supplies, "These belong to Xiao Huan and me, the car and the rest are all yours, you can divide them among yourselves."
"Brother Lin?"
Lin Lei shook his head, signaling Lin Jianbai not to say anything more. He thought clearly that they were just a temporary team on the way here. After experiencing some things, he could see the temperaments of others very clearly. People with different ideas cannot work together.
These people were stupid enough to challenge the superpowers. Lin Jianbai was still clear-headed, but the fanaticism and calculation in his eyes became more and more intense in the past few days. Lin Lei's intuition told him that something was going to happen.
He took Lin Huan and walked in a random direction, clarifying the relationship in advance, which was also a way to protect himself and his sister.
The team that was originally complete became scattered in a short while, and the guard at the door did not move at all. He was used to such a plot development.
Wei Xicheng and Yu Beiyan arrived at their residence and found that it was a group of apartments. The best-located ones should be for the superpowers to live in, while the outer ones were for the superpowers' relatives and friends.
The two had been traveling lightly, and they didn't have much stuff. When Yu Beiyan put down the bag of supplies in his hand, the guard who had been following them saluted again and asked politely, "If you two have nothing to do later, you can come with me to the base conference room. Our top decision maker will be waiting for you there."
Because of the chaotic system at the end of the world, but it was only about a month since the beginning of the end of the world, the original mayor of City Z had already died, and the highest decision-maker at this time was just one of the founders who proposed to establish the base at the beginning. It was probably not too far away to change his name to City Lord.
This person is none other than Zhong Lei, the father of Zhong Wen, the son of destiny. He has not been injured yet.
"Okay." Wei Xicheng smiled and agreed readily. He was originally going to meet the Son of Destiny, the old city lord, and the old professor in the laboratory.
The guard nodded, stepped outside the door and waited quietly for the two of them. People with special abilities all think highly of themselves, and it was his luck to meet such an easy-to-talk-to person.
After no one was in the room, Wei Xicheng pulled Yu Beiyan's hand and asked him softly, "What's wrong?"
After arriving in City Z, Yu Beiyan seemed to be in a bad mood, and Wei Xicheng was a little worried. He had never seen Yu Beiyan show his emotions for no apparent reason.
"Nothing, there seems to be the smell of someone I don't like here." Yu Beiyan kept pursing his lips and looked very unhappy.
Wei Xicheng was shocked by Yu Beiyan's keen sense of smell. He didn't think Yu Beiyan was lying or joking. Since Yu Beiyan said there was, then there must be. He attributed this difference to Yu Beiyan's supernatural power being too strong, which transformed his physical fitness.
"Then what about us..." Wei Xicheng wanted to give up the actions in the base. In every world, his lover would not have any memory of the previous ones. Wei Xicheng just wanted him to live happily and comfortably in every current world.
"Nothing, let's go." Yu Beiyan walked out of the room first. He actually wanted to see if that person really came.
The two followed the guard around many twists and turns, bypassing many messy houses and tents, and finally arrived at the meeting room. Although it was called a meeting room, it was actually just a slightly spacious apartment living room converted into a new one.
Almost all the space in the base is used for living, but even so, there is still not enough room for people, so those who have nothing to contribute have to live in makeshift tents.
"Please take a seat." Zhong Lei had a few strands of white hair on his temples, but his voice was loud and he looked in good shape. He had a genuine smile on his face and spoke in a very official manner, "Every additional psychic in our base means an additional layer of security. Our base needs young and capable people like you."
Wei Xicheng had a faint smile on his face the whole time, neither eager nor distant, as he responded to Zhong Lei's words.
During this short conversation, Wei Xicheng realized that although Zhong Lei founded the base, he was not fit to be an official. He had no idea of the art of speaking, and every word he said sounded "empty" and full of official rhetoric.
He didn't mention anything that could really keep people here, no wonder the base was always a small one when he was in charge. It wasn't until his son took over that the base really developed.
However, this trip also had its benefits. It made him clearly realize that although Zhong Lei liked to speak in official language, he was not a malicious person. Although his talents were not outstanding, his desire to create a "paradise for mankind" was real.
"By the way, there is a genius scientist in our base. I will introduce him to you later. He has a much better understanding of superpowers than others. You may learn a lot from him."
Zhong Lei kept saying "our base", which made Wei Xicheng a little amused and helpless. Was he afraid that they would not stay?
When the word "scientist" was mentioned, Yu Beiyan's expression finally changed. He asked without any emotion: "Where is he?"
After just a dozen minutes of conversation, Zhong Lei had already gotten used to Yu Beiyan's icy face, and didn't feel any change at this time. Wei Xicheng could hear a little "anxiety" and "uneasiness" in Yu Beiyan's tone, which was different from his usual mood.
He placed his hand on the man's hand beside him, feeling the man's body temperature which was always slightly cooler than his own. Yu Beiyan looked at him, wrapped his palm in his own, and the two held hands and followed Zhong Lei to the basement of the apartment.
"This is it." Zhong Lei walked to the door of the basement and dialed the communication phone hanging on the door. "Professor, I brought two little guys to see you. These two kids are quite capable."
"Come in." An old voice sounded, and at the same time a click sound came from the door of the basement.
Zhong Lei pushed the door tentatively and it opened.
The moment the door opened, Yu Beiyan let go of Wei Xicheng's hand, leaving behind a residual shadow, and appeared at the end of the laboratory in the basement. He clamped an old man's neck with his palm and lifted him up.
The old man in the white coat turned red, his eyes widened, and he looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. The feeling of suffocation made his head dizzy, and he pointed at the person in front of him with a trembling finger, "Number one?"
"It's me."
"What are you doing!" Zhong Lei's loud shout and Yu Beiyan's loud voice rang out at the same time.
Just as Zhong Lei was about to step forward to stop Yu Beiyan, he was entangled by the boy next to him. The boy looked young, but he was quite strong and ruthless. Zhong Lei had to concentrate all his attention to fight the boy to a draw, and he had no time to save the old professor.
The old professor looked at the man in front of him and suddenly laughed out loud. Because his throat was clamped, the sound was intermittent, hoarse and unpleasant.
Yu Beiyan loosened his grip, threw the old man to the ground, and stepped on his chest. At the same time, Zhong Lei on the side suddenly stopped moving, stood there with a blank look in his eyes.
Wei Xicheng walked over to Yu Beiyan and looked at the two of them in confusion. Although he unconditionally supported his old man, what was going on? In the story he had received, there was no such person as Yu Beiyan, nor were there any of these mysterious and unclear involvements.
"Dad!" Two people with hurried footsteps appeared at the door of the basement.
Seeing that the leader looked exactly like Zhong Lei, Wei Xicheng knew that this was the son of destiny, Zhong Wen. The man behind him turned out to be Lin Jianbai. Wei Xicheng didn't expect that Lin Jianbai was also very capable, but he got in touch with the city lord's son in just a short while.
"What's wrong with you, Dad?" Zhong Wen walked up to Zhong Lei and noticed his abnormality. He turned around and looked at everyone present and asked loudly, "What are you doing? What's wrong with my dad?!"
Silence.
"Hey, Xiaowen, kill them." The old man lying on the ground coughed. Although he knew that this was an impossible task, he still said this, hoping that he could leave here in the chaos.
The author has something to say:
This world should be over soon. The next world is tentatively an online game world.
