Chapter 51
The power-type mutant moved his lips and said with difficulty: "Are there no ordinary people in your community?"
Fu Erdie: “No.”
In fact, there is a Granny Zhang, but this ordinary person is not the same as the "ordinary person" mentioned by the power department.
"I'm not a government agency, nor am I a charity. I said it from the beginning. I just live in my own neighborhood. I don't need ordinary people, not even ordinary people with special abilities. The people I accept are either useful to me or my favorite relatives and friends. I have no interest in taking other people home to keep as my own."
The Strength Department slumped on the ground and asked with a last bit of reluctance: "Then, don't you need to do hard labor?"
Fu Erdie stood there, looking down at the power-type ability users with a certain condescending attitude, which made the power-type ability users very uncomfortable, but they could only beg with hope.
After a long while, when the strength department was almost mentally collapsed by the invisible pressure, Fu Erdie squatted down and looked at him straight in the eye: "Do you feel it? Even if I didn't do anything, just standing there, you think I'm bullying you."
"I am not..."
"I can do the hard labor you mentioned, my boyfriend can do it, and my friends in the neighborhood can do it. But it seems normal for us to do it. If you do it, even if it is a normal thing, you will see it as pressure and oppression because you don't have the right attitude, and then you will complain about it and mock us so-called "superiors" behind our backs."
The Power Department opened his mouth to explain, but in the end, he realized that it was true.
He is so powerless, but always wants to be an irreplaceable member, and has no awareness of being a younger brother or a low-level laborer.
However, his special powers and the skills he possessed before the end of the world destined him to be just a little brother.
The Strength Department sat on the ground with a dejected look on his face.
He knew that he had absolutely no chance.
Several people started to drive back.
Fu Erdie told everyone about his plant-related abilities and his "home space" abilities. Only then did everyone realize that the pile of boxes on top of the electric bike was actually Fu Erdie's "abilities."
Professor Zhao suddenly felt very scared. If she hadn't driven that group of people away, sooner or later, they would have had evil intentions and wanted to steal that piece of the special box car.
After all, whose supernatural power is so strange that it can be exposed? !
And it looks like it's easy to steal.
Four of the nine-member team left, and the remaining five were either Professor Zhao and Zhuang Licheng, who knew what was going on, or the short-haired woman and the sports student, who were trustworthy, or He Xuan, who was both. They would never have any bad intentions.
The few people who had been excited were not just likely to want to snatch this exposed supernatural power away. That group of people was so stupid and confident! Fortunately, the hidden danger was removed in advance. They are safe now.
The group set out again.
If Fu Erdie continued to travel at the same speed as before, he would be able to return home in one day.
But now with the addition of a minibus with a five-person team, sections of road that could be flown across before can no longer be flown across.
Either choose to open the way, or choose to fly with the ten-ton minibus with great effort...
The latter is obviously too tired, so it can only be the former.
In fact, with Sang Wenhao's special ability, it was much easier to clear the way. Fu Erdie estimated that it would take a total of one day to clear the congested section of the road, and another day to travel, so it would take two days to reach City C.
From City H to City C and then to City D, the three cities belong to the same route.
However, since they were all newcomers, they were not like Cen Xiyang, who knew them all so well that he could just take them home and leave them alone. She still needed an observation and adjustment period. So when they went to City D, they had to go together.
When the road was cleared again that day, Fu Erdie came to the minibus and talked about this matter with Professor Zhao, asking him if he had any information about the base in City D.
As a top technician in the H City base, Professor Zhao would have heard some things about other bases. However, Professor Zhao's answer was beyond Fu Erdie's expectation.
"The bases are actually communicating with each other through telegraphs?!"
Professor Zhao nodded and pointed to his backpack. "I took a lot of chips when I left. There are all kinds of them. I also have the main parts needed for a telegraph. In fact, I can connect a circuit board to make a simple version of a telegraph. I can make it anytime if you need it."
It turned out that most communication technologies were unusable in the end times, so the telegraph, a communication method that did not require satellites or base stations, was put on the right track.
When the bases of various parties were still under the government control stage, they used telegraphs to build a communication network. Even though they were later taken over by people with special abilities, some of them still retained the telegraph machines. By using specific frequency bands at specific times, they could contact the corresponding bases.
Professor Zhao looked at Fu Erdie's surprised expression and added, "We learned some information through the telegraph machine, and determined the classification of superpowers and the method of making superpower detectors. I have a chip here. As long as we implant a transparent attributeless crystal core into the chip for testing, we can get the level value of the superpower user."
Fu Erdie's mind moved, and she took out a transparent crystal core: "Non-attribute crystal core? Is this what you mean?"
They had killed many zombies along the way, but it was impossible that all of these zombies were ordinary zombies.
Among the mutant zombies killed, Fu Erdie accidentally killed a zombie that looked only slightly stronger than the other zombies, and obtained this transparent crystal core.
Zhao Shansi heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the target crystal core: "It's this one. In fact, the attributeless crystal core is a crystal core that has the ability to devour other superpowers faster. Superpower zombies that possess it can upgrade faster by eating their own kind or superpower users. Each attribute is a weapon for upgrading. At the same level, attributeless superpower zombies are not strong, but because their levels increase quickly, they are easily suppressed, so once they are discovered, they will be dealt with first. And the crystal core obtained after processing can be quickly and fully absorbed by everyone, just like the crystal core with the same attribute. If it is not absorbed, it can be used to identify the superpower level of the superpower user."
Fu Erdie narrowed her eyes slightly, and quickly grasped a key piece of information from the long string of words: the attributeless zombies can fully absorb the crystal cores of each attribute. And whether she absorbed the crystal cores in the community or in the wild outside, she could completely absorb them without distinction.
She, should also be a non-attribute crystal core? Fu Erdie thought about it and felt that both the telegraph and the detector must be made as soon as possible.
The detector allows her to understand everyone's strength more objectively, and the telegraph is essential for communicating with other bases in the apocalypse.
Especially the base in City D.
Fu Erdie handed the transparent crystal core to Zhao Shansi and asked her to do it when she had time. If there were any metal parts missing, she and Sang Wenhao could fly to the nearby places where there were home appliances and dismantle them while clearing the road.
Zhao Shansi said that all the core parts were available, only some wires were missing, so he could let the sports students get them. The sports students were already very skilled in removing wires, and they could remove them from the scrapped vehicles.
Fu Erdie returned to the topic of the base in City D.
"My grandmother is over there, and I want to take her home as soon as possible. I can prepare a thank-you gift and then pick her up, but I don't know if the D City base will ask for a huge sum of money, or if they will simply not release her and only release her after she's been ripped bald."
"Of course, the most important thing is that I want to ensure the safety of my grandmother. I don't know whether I should just go straight to the D City base and explain my intentions, or sneak in and 'steal' my family out?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Fu Erdie knew nothing about this and humbly asked for advice.
Professor Zhao thought for a moment and said, "The weapons storage in the D City base is quite rich, so after the walls and base were built at the beginning, the scale was continuously expanded through weapons. Now it is much larger than the area of more than 2,000 acres at the beginning. I heard that it is already more than 4,000 acres. The situation is not particularly bad. However, when they were using the telegram to contact the outside world, they kept trying to use crystal cores to buy food. It should be that there are too many ordinary people and not enough food. H City is a big food market, so after receiving the telegram, they went all the way to trade a batch of supplies. Except for the dangers encountered on the road, there were no other problems."
"The person in charge of the transaction went to the D City base for an inspection, and later brought some people from the D City base back. Then the other party was responsible for transportation, and another batch of food was traded. Overall, it was pretty good."
When Fu Erdie heard this, he felt relieved.
It seemed that the situation was not so bad for the time being. She had time to prepare for both ends. On the one hand, she could go to the D city base directly to explain her intention of looking for someone and prepare a "thank you gift". On the other hand, she had to find a way to sneak into the base to search and investigate secretly.
If you can bring grandma out directly in public, that would be great. If not, try to take grandma and the others away secretly.
After Fu Erdie made up her mind, she took Professor Zhao back to the box truck where the house was, charged her computer, and began to import the program to make a telegraph machine and a supernatural power detector.
After clearing a long congested section of road, Professor Zhao first made a detector with a simpler principle.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead, relaxed her brows, and handed the detector to Fu Erdie while saying, "Except for the sports student Pan Feizhou, who is a first-level psychic, the other four people including He Xuan are all second-level. Generally, the top psychic in a base is third-level. It is known that the top psychic at present is fourth-level, and there is only one person."
Zhao Shansi saw that Fu Erdie was about to be tested immediately and asked: "Do I need to avoid it?"
"No need." Fu Erdie took the inspection circuit board and directly input the supernatural power according to Zhao Shansi's instructions.
The result of the ability detection device showed 0.
Before Professor Zhao could be surprised, Fu Erdie got into the electric car and asked Sang Wenhao, who was in the driver's seat, to try it.
The value on the display device jumped up and showed 3.
Fu Erdie held his hand and input his supernatural powers.
The display device flickered briefly and then jumped to 4.
Fu Erdie tested her own supernatural powers while holding Sang Wenhao's hand.
And this value also changed from 0 at the beginning to 4, which stunned Professor Zhao next to him.
What surprised her even more was that when Fu Erdie let go of Sang Wenhao's hand, the value returned to 0. Fu Erdie touched the dandelion, the value became 3, Fu Erdie touched the potato, the value was also 3, Fu Erdie touched the house, the value became 4.
It seems that her ability cannot be manifested directly, just like it could not be discovered directly at the beginning. It requires other linked mutants to improve the opponent's level and reflect it in the numerical value under the influence of the linked object.
Fu Erdie guessed that the real level of the potato house should be minus one based on the detected value. In other words, the potato and dandelion were level two, and the house was level three. As for her own level, perhaps because it was consistent with the properties of the transparent crystal core, it could not be detected.
"Thank you, Professor Zhao." Fu Erdie finally had a more intuitive understanding of the combat power. She nodded sincerely to express her gratitude and activated her supernatural powers, allowing the house to heal all of Professor Zhao's injuries inside and out.
Professor Zhao thanked Fu Erdie and went back. He looked normal but was very excited in his heart.
She is 46 years old this year, which makes her a young professor. But compared with real young people, she has some stomach problems caused by hunger in the end times, as well as some problems with her lumbar and cervical spine due to long-term sitting, floaters due to long-term computer viewing, and occasional dizziness due to insomnia.
After examination, they were all minor ailments that either had no treatment and required more rest, or could be relieved through treatment but would soon recur again.
But after Fu Erdie's operation, she could clearly feel that all the non-fatal but uncomfortable problems that were like maggots on her body were cleared up! (End of this chapter)
