072:
Mrs. Zhu's son, Zhu Guochao, recently had his fire ability upgraded to the middle level of B grade. He was also promoted to the captain of the city defense team, in charge of ten people.
The city defense team's work is divided into day and night shifts, patrolling everywhere to maintain the safety and order of the base.
It's like a combination of police and urban management.
His salary is paid daily, one level three crystal core per day.
The base currency is mainly crystal cores. 1 third-level crystal core = 50 second-level crystal cores = 500 first-level crystal cores.
This salary is very good.
Mrs. Zhu's daughter-in-law, Feng Suhua, works at the Water Bureau and has fixed working hours, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
After her ability was upgraded to C-level, the total amount of water condensed during this period was about fifty kilograms.
The number of people with special abilities in the base only accounts for a quarter of the total population.
After the third dark event, many C-level psychics were promoted to B-level.
However, the promotion from B-level to A-level is a considerable leap, and so far, only Shen Xun has been promoted to A-level in the base.
Among one-third of the people with special abilities, water-type ones account for a small proportion.
Only the water condensed by the water system is edible, so in the base, water-based mutants are treated very well in the water bureau.
One pound of water is equivalent to ten first-level crystal cores.
Feng Suhua's daily salary is about 500 first-level crystal cores, which is equivalent to one third-level crystal core.
In terms of food, the base takes ordinary people into consideration and launches cheap mung bean porridge and pickles.
Apart from this cheapest set meal, other higher-end foods are much more expensive.
But for the Zhu family, the combined daily salary of two level three crystal cores from Zhu Guochao and Feng Suhua is enough for them to live a good life.
Eating meat every meal is no problem.
If they save a little, they can still have a lot left for cultivation.
This is why Mrs. Zhu likes to show off everywhere.
Zhu Guochao and Feng Suhua thought about moving to a bigger and better room.
After all, it is a bit crowded for a family of four to live in a room of more than 30 square meters.
It was Old Mrs. Zhu who firmly disagreed.
The room 103 they live in now is allocated by the base for free, so it is not cost-effective to spend money to move to another room.
“Why pay to rent a house when you can live in it for free?”
"The rent is enough for Haohao to eat meat several times."
"What's the big deal? You and Haohao can sleep on the big bed. It's okay for me to sleep on the floor."
…
Because of her insistence, Zhu Guochao and Feng Suhua had to give up their plan to change houses.
They actually had some complaints about Old Lady Zhu.
I usually tell Mrs. Zhu to be low-key and not show off.
Old Mrs. Zhu agreed on the surface and continued to do so afterwards.
The couple was helpless, and there was nothing they could do about their mother.
Zhu Guochao is on the day shift today, and the lunch is a boxed meal provided by the base. It is not particularly rich, but it is not bad either, and the portion is large enough.
He and his teammates were having a meal at the sentry post they had set up.
"This time of day is the happiest." Teammate A ate like crazy.
"Second."
"Brother, come on, I'll trade my chicken wings for your chicken legs."
"Do you think I'm stupid? Get out of here."
They were laughing and joking when they noticed Zhu Guochao's serious expression. Teammate B hurriedly asked, "Captain Zhu, what's going on?"
Zhu Guochao came back to his senses, touched his right eye, and said, "My eyelid has been twitching non-stop."
"Left eye twitching brings wealth, right eye twitching brings disaster." Teammate C blurted out, then felt bad after saying it and quickly said "Pooh, Pooh, Pooh", "This is all superstition. My right eyelid twitches often, and nothing happens."
Then the topic turned to Buddhism.
——A Dafan Temple was built at the base, and the missionaries inside were the surviving monks.
Zhu Guochao did not join their conversation. He felt inexplicably uneasy.
He was looking for the source of this unease.
Ultimately failed.
Or he should go to Dafan Temple after handing over his shift in the afternoon.
Zhu Guochao thought so.
After dinner, when he dressed and returned to the patrol area with his teammates, a middle-aged man on a bicycle suddenly stopped, probably recognizing him: "Guochao!"
Zhu Guochao recognized him quickly.
It’s Sun Shihai who lives in Apartment 109.
Teammate B saw that he was frowning and immediately reached out to stop Sun Shihai from approaching: "What are you doing! We are on patrol! Don't disturb us while we are working!"
Sun Shihai glared at him and said, "Guochao and I are good friends. We live together."
Teammate B hesitated when he heard this.
Zhu Guochao's face darkened. He and Sun Shihai only lived in the same apartment and would occasionally meet each other. They rarely exchanged a few words. He was just a good friend of Guimenzi.
The most important thing is that Zhu Guochao is disgusted by Sun Shihai.
Sun Shihai was able to live in 109 because he sold his daughter. This was no secret in the apartment and everyone knew it.
"Guochao, you should go back to your home quickly. Your mother and your son Haohao have been badly bullied." Sun Shihai's small eyes squinted together, a gleam of light flashed.
Zhu Guochao suspected he had misheard: "What?"
Sun Shihai patted the bicycle seat and said excitedly, "The Sang family next door actually has a daughter. She just came back. She's a superpower. She should be a wood element. As soon as she came back, she beat your mother and Haohao without saying a word. She hung them up with vines and beat them."
He showed a look of pity and horror: "You didn't see the scene. It was horrible. Your mother and Haohao were beaten so badly that they couldn't even scream. I was afraid something might happen, so I hurried to find you. Now I don't know what's going on."
After saying this, he saw with satisfaction that Zhu Guochao's face changed drastically.
Zhu Guochao's teammates had never seen Old Lady Zhu and Zhu Wenhao, but when they heard that the captain's mother and son were beaten, they immediately became furious.
"Captain, hurry back, we are here!"
"A Wood type is so arrogant! Captain, I'll go with you."
Zhu Guochao did not let his teammates get involved. He told them to stay at their posts, get on their patrol motorcycles, and rush to the apartment as quickly as possible.
Although he disliked Sun Shihai, he knew that Sun Shihai would not dare to deceive him with such a thing.
At the same time, Ji Congwu learned the information about Sang Luo's parents from Bian Linan and understood the purpose of Sang Luo's coming to the base.
——Bian Linan couldn’t hide it, and Ji Cong couldn’t tell whether he was lying.
He tried to divert Ji Congwu's attention from Sang Luo.
Bian Linan believed that Ji Congwu's attention to Sang Luo was a man's interest in a woman.
It's normal for men to be interested in beautiful women.
Sang Tuo is gone, but Sang Luo is back. He must do his best to protect Sang Luo and not let Sang Luo be targeted by Ji Congwu.
Unfortunately, he failed.
When he was about to lead Ji Congwu to his residence, he heard Ji Congwu's voice no longer ringing directly in his mind, but coming into his ears from the outside.
"Go visit Sang Luo and her parents." The man said in a cold voice.
Bian Linan knew very well that if he refused, he would anger the other party.
He was not sure about Ji Congwu's specific strength, but judging from the various supernatural powers he displayed, they were at least S-level.
He even had more doubts.
With such strength, just go along with it as much as you can.
Ji Congwu suddenly turned his gaze towards Luo Fan and Qin Yu, and said quietly, "You know Sang Luo."
Even Bian Linan thought that Ji Congwu's sudden attention to Sang Luo was a man's interest in a woman, and Luo Fan and Qin Yu were naturally no exception.
The former was in a complicated mood. In name, Sang Luo was still his fiancée and their engagement had not been cancelled.
The latter was worried. Her woman's intuition made her certain that Ji Congwu was definitely not a good person. If she fell into his hands, it would most likely be a disaster rather than a blessing.
Luo Fan's mind raced, he must not let Ji Congwu know about the relationship between Sang Luo and him.
He immediately said, "Sang Luo is our college classmate."
Qin Yu nodded.
Ji Congwu half-closed his narrow, dark eyes and tapped his slender index finger lightly: "Tell me about her."
Qin Yu actually didn't know Sang Luo very well. She was aloof and aloof by nature, and she didn't care when Sang Luo pursued Luo Fan in a high-profile manner.
She also has other boys pursuing her, and she believes in her relationship with Luo Fan.
But unexpectedly, because of thesis issues, she became a little closer to a male classmate, and was misunderstood by Luo Fan.
Qin Yu disdained to explain such things. She felt that explaining was an insult to their relationship. If Luo Fan really liked her, he would not have misunderstood her at all.
She obviously overestimated Luo Fan.
Luo Fan turned around and found Sang Luo and stayed with her.
Qin Yu was sad, but she would never allow herself to be weak because of emotional matters, so she endured it.
She met Sang Luo on campus, but the latter never even looked at her.
Sang Luo was so high-profile on campus, so the news spread that she had snatched Luo Fan away.
Qin Yu pretended to be indifferent at the time, Sang Luo really didn't care, and Luo Fan naturally enjoyed this feeling.
If Qin Yu hadn't witnessed the scene in the restaurant on the day the virus broke out, she would have disliked Sang Luo.
But Luo Fan abandoned Sang Luo who saved him and turned to save himself, leaving Sang Luo trapped in the tide of zombies...
This scene made her feel uneasy and haunted her like a nightmare.
Gradually, he began to feel guilty towards Sang Luo.
Especially Luo Fan’s attitude towards Sang Luo.
The better Luo Fan treated her, the more guilty she felt towards Sang Luo.
Qin Yu felt relieved when she found out that Sang Luo was alive.
In a blink of an eye, he discovered that Ji Congwu was targeting Sang Luo.
Qin Yu felt a sense of helplessness, sadness, and frustration.
When she realized that Luo Fan was going to tell Ji Congwu everything he knew, she reached out and quietly pinched Luo Fan's lower back, saying to Ji Congwu, "We are not very familiar with Sang Luo. We don't usually see her at school."
Luo Fan shuddered in pain, and Qin Yu's pinch made him understand what she meant.
He finally agreed with Qin Yu's words and didn't say anything else.
Facing Ji Congwuting's gaze that stayed on his face for a long time, Luo Fan's clothes on the back were wet with cold sweat.
For a moment, he felt like he had walked around in the underworld.
Ji Congwu: "Does she have a grudge against you?"
Luo Fan recalled what Sang Luo had said to him earlier. He didn't expect Ji Congwu to have noticed. He calmed down and said, "I offended her before because of a small matter. Maybe she remembered it. She holds grudges very well."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Ji Congwu's expression suddenly became much gloomier.
Then close your eyes.
Luo Fan said cautiously, "Sir, you are going to visit Sang Luo and her parents. Qin Yu and I are of low status, so we won't go with you, so as not to embarrass you."
“…”
Luo Fan immediately pulled Qin Yu back.
Bian Linan glanced at the two of them and drove to the Sang couple's residence.
After a while, he suddenly heard Ji Congwu ask: "When visiting someone, what do you think should be given as a gift?"
Bian Linan had no idea what this person was trying to do.
Could it be that he was visiting sincerely?
Falling in love with Sang Luo at first sight, seriously???
As the thought flashed through his mind, one of the base leaders uncontrollably got goosebumps.
...What if?
Otherwise there is no way to explain this person's strange behavior.
