Chapter 50

The short-haired woman was stuck.

What you said actually makes sense? She subconsciously looked at Professor Zhao and Zhuang Licheng. In the past, the people who used their brains to make decisions in the team were He Xuan, Zhao Shansi, and Zhuang Licheng. Now that one of them was gone and the other two were silent, the short-haired woman was a little at a loss.

"Professor Zhao, what do you think?"

Professor Zhao shook his head at her: "I believe in those two superpowers, and I also believe in He Xuan's good luck. He won't be kidnapped or cheated."

"Of course He Xuan is lucky. If he was kidnapped and provided with good food and drink, isn't that also a kind of good luck..." a woman muttered.

This woman is a speedster, and is a couple with the strengthster who spoke earlier.

It was obvious that the pair had the same idea. After being fed and watered and briefly touched, they began to distrust their companions and the people who had done them favors.

"So, are you guys leaving now?" The athlete said, "If you want to leave, just leave. Those two bosses don't want you to follow them anyway."

A casual remark spoken on impulse instantly pierced the lungs of several people.

Yes, the two bosses did say that they only wanted the two technicians and the athlete, who had special abilities, and the others were dispensable extras. But it was completely different when the bosses said it and when the teammates said it! If you don't say it, we are still friends. If you say it, you are treating yourself as superior and looking down on your teammates!

So not only the couple, but the other two power-type psychics were also a little angry.

"You're a sports student, you were useless along the way. If we hadn't protected you, you would have died long ago! And now you're talking bullshit here?"

"What's wrong with being from the Sports Department? I'm not as strong as you, but I'm not faster than you. When we were surrounded and blocked by zombies, didn't I rely on my special powers to break the lock of a door so that you could hide in the house? We were a team and helped each other. Now you say I owe you something, right?"

"Of course you owe me! Professor Zhao, you owe us too! What do you say now?"

Several people were arguing and the war spread to Zhao Shansi.

Professor Zhao was prepared for this. She didn't get confused and said calmly, "I hope everyone can have a stable living environment. Following Miss Fu is the best choice at the moment."

The power person was dissatisfied: "Don't laugh it off, I just want to ask you, do you admit that you owe us?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the three strength users and the one speed user all looked at Professor Zhao with burning eyes, as if her saying "no" had trampled on their dignity and they had to settle the score now.

Professor Zhao subconsciously pushed the frame of her glasses, but found nothing - she had lost her glasses in the apocalypse - and said calmly, "If I were an ordinary person, or if my technical level was not as high as it is now, would you still help me?"

"Don't change the subject! Just tell me that you will die without us, do you admit it?" the man in the couple asked sharply.

Professor Zhao smiled: "If it weren't for me, you would have been locked outside because the electric gate of the base didn't open and close fast enough. If it weren't for me, He Xuan, Zhuang Licheng, Pan Feizhou and others, you would now be running for your lives in the heavy rain like a stray dog, and you wouldn't even be qualified to sit here and think about whether you should trust Miss Fu!"

Professor Zhao rarely said harsh words. In other words, with He Xuan, a clear-headed leader, there was no room for conflict between Professor Zhao and these people.

Once He Xuan finds any signs of trouble, he will nip them in the bud in the bud.

Anyone with a brain knows that if they want to move to a new base and get a better treatment, then bringing along a well-rounded talent like Professor Zhao and a professional with the ability to protect himself like Zhuang Licheng will definitely be a great achievement.

After arriving at the base, Professor Zhao became an important figure in the technical department, and brought benefits to this team of psychics, which was definitely not bad but not outstanding, to a certain extent, so the benefits to the team were continuous.

From an underlying logic, the psychics' protection of Professor Zhao is an exchange of interests, but it would be too cold to say it directly, so on the surface everyone is a united, friendly and mutually supportive team.

At least that was the case when He Xuan was around. People with relatively ordinary abilities like strength and speed could vaguely sense this, but they were not convinced. They always felt that they were better than ordinary people like Professor Zhao. If they were not polite, they would not worship such a person.

The conflict has always been there, but was forcibly resolved and suppressed by He Xuan for various reasons.

But now that He Xuan is gone, Professor Zhao also wants to break up with them and drive away some confused people, so he directly broke the window paper, and the four psychics immediately became angry.

Two of the powerful psychics rushed over and wanted to teach Professor Zhao a lesson.

However, the strongest fighter here is the short-haired woman, followed by Zhuang Licheng, who is old but has strong superpowers. The former is simple-minded and trusts He Xuan, and will instinctively prevent infighting for the sake of the entire team. The latter, as a technical staff member, naturally shares the same stance as Professor Zhao and stands on Professor Zhao's side.

The two power users who originally thought they had the upper hand were instantly suppressed. Their bodies were numbed by electricity and they were blown against the wall in the corner, falling down stiffly.

"Husband!" When the speedster saw her boyfriend being beaten, she quickly went over to help him.

She was shocked: "You actually fought your teammate who is also a superpower for an ordinary person!"

Professor Zhao lowered her eyes. Everything was within her expectations, so she didn't show any surprise or smugness. She was as calm as ever, but with a more deliberate tone: "When you had no hostility towards me, our team was a whole. After you became hostile to me, we were divided according to wisdom and integrity, not according to whether or not we were psychics."

"Why do you think that people with special abilities can fight each other so fiercely? Ordinary people also use various calculations to fight each other?"

"This is not a group or race thing, this is a people thing."

"I can't figure it out. That's why you're lying there right now, and I'm standing here."

Professor Zhao's words almost said "You are stupid, incompetent, and have no character." The couple and the other power user who took action were so angry that their mouths were twisted, but they didn't dare to say anything.

However, the remaining psychic who was angry but did not take action came to his senses, realized the situation and no longer expressed his anger, but shrank into a corner and remained silent.

After the two sides started fighting, the speedster proposed to take away 2/3 of the rations and share them among himself.

The gym student asked her why, and she gave this reason: "Zhao Shansi is not a superpower, and his appetite is very small, so the amount of food he eats can be ignored. That means there are four of us and three of you. And two of our friends were injured by you, and they need to eat more potatoes to recover. So it's not excessive for us to take 2/3."

Tiyu was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but Professor Zhao persuaded him: "Let her go. She won't be able to make trouble for a few more days. When we get to Miss Fu's community, we will either be members of the technical department or have strong offensive and low replaceable abilities. We will definitely be valued. Even if these people want to make trouble, no one will pay attention to them."

"Oh, by the way, didn't Miss Fu say that our accommodation conditions are different from theirs? That's perfect. We may not see each other very often in the future."

Several speedsters were so angry that they were fuming!

They couldn't win by fighting, and they couldn't win by talking, and in the end they only got half of the food rations.

Fu Erdie was very curious when she heard this: "Have the rest of you finished eating the other half?"

Professor Zhao shook his head: "It was deliberately allowed to be stolen, so just treat it as a farewell dinner."

It turned out that life was very relaxing with food and drink. By the sixth day of living in the small courtyard, most of the superficial injuries had healed.

The speed and strength people were very hesitant, and felt that their future life would be very secure if they followed Miss Fu. They would have food, drink, treatment, and everything else.

Although they had a very unpleasant quarrel with this group of people and wanted to leave right away, but seeing that good days were coming, did they really want to leave?

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When they regained their senses, they didn't want to leave anymore.

However, Professor Zhao looked at the map and casually mentioned, "There seems to be a base two hundred kilometers ahead of us? I remember that the head of this base was very similar to the later boss of the H City base. They both valued psychics and ignored technicians. Haha, I don't know how long this short-sighted base can survive."

Zhuang Licheng has known Zhao Shansi's intentions in the past few days. He agrees that "unity is better than numbers". Only a well-organized team can accomplish great things. Otherwise, no matter how many people there are, they will only hinder us.

In the past, we had the same goal, and we were united in escaping. Now that we have escaped the most dangerous flood-prone areas, we need to find a way out elsewhere. These people are obviously not on the same path as us. In this case, we need to guide everyone to go their separate ways.

Zhuang Licheng took a look at the map and exclaimed, "This place has a good terrain and won't be flooded. And it's not in an earthquake zone, so it looks very safe. I just don't know what will happen if we don't pay attention to infrastructure technology."

Professor Zhao: "They have people with special abilities who can precisely control electricity, so the boss's daily electricity needs are not a problem. I just received a telegram from them saying that there are several people with healing abilities serving as the medical team."

Professor Zhao shook his head in disapproval: "Treatment of psychics is at most a cure for psychics. Ordinary people still need to see a doctor when they are sick. The boss of this base is too ignorant. He doesn't care about ordinary people and absorbs ordinary people to do hard labor. Isn't he just using them as slaves?"

The two of them sang the same tune and pointed out many faults of this base.

However, these are not heard by speed and strength people. They are all great advantages! Don't value technicians? That's good! They are superpowers, they also hate technicians! Can't heal ordinary people? That's also good! Just cure the diseases of these superpowers caused by the river water!

And this base respects wolf culture? Coincidentally, they also believe that the end of the world is the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak!

Useless people like Professor Zhao and the sports student should have died long ago!

Oh, and He Xuan has this weird luck ability? What the hell! Just use it as a mascot, why is she the leader? She is so weak, how can she be worthy?

The more they listened, the more excited they became, and the brighter their future seemed.

So after two days of preparation, on the eighth night, it was the turn of the two strength users to keep watch. While everyone else was asleep, they woke up the speed user who was pretending to be asleep, and secretly ran away with all the remaining rations.

He did not drive the noisy minibus, but instead drove a long way on the highway and found a car that he could drive.

Fu Erdie looked at the remaining power user.

At this moment, he looked haggard and pale as he stood in the corner, as if he wanted to blend himself into the shadow.

Professor Zhao followed Fu Erdie's gaze and said, "Those people must have been disgusted that he didn't stand with them and didn't help them when they attacked me, so they left him here. We anticipated their escape, so we hid just enough food in advance. But we didn't expect this person to be left behind, so there is no food for him. He must be very hungry now."

Fu Erdie nodded, and took out another potato the size of a football and a 5L bottle of water. "That's enough for you to get to the base. Go ahead."

The person with super powers thought he would get nothing, but he didn't expect to get such a generous gift.

He regretted it.

He really regretted it!

"Miss Fu, oh no, Boss Fu!" He was so excited that he knelt down with a plop. "I won't leave. I, I want to follow you! Give me a chance, Boss Fu!"

Fu Erdie dodged sideways and said, "You can go to the base they went to. I think you will live better there."

The power department was anxious and wanted to say something, but Fu Erdie said calmly, "Don't you understand? From the beginning to the end, this matter is not about whether Professor Zhao is bullying you or whether other people look down on you, but about you looking down on technical personnel. When someone above you is suppressing you, you are willing to suppress your prejudice because of the more powerful person, but once this person is not around, you will explode for all kinds of reasons."

"Imagine that you come to my neighborhood. Professor Zhao and her colleagues live on the upper floors, eating and drinking well, using air conditioning and looking at computers every day, while you are on the lower floors, doing hard labor. When your strength is needed, you are asked to carry various materials. Occasionally, when you pass by Professor Zhao's floor, you can feel the cool breeze in the summer and the warmth in the winter. But after passing by, you return to your lower floor and find that it is cold in the winter and hot in the summer. The place you live is a mess. There is no new hope every day, and every day you are the only hard laborer in the entire community."

"Although there is food, drink and medical treatment, can you really bear this kind of life?"
