Chapter 70 An outrageous demand



Today, Ye Zhi is wearing a thick, red onesie. The onesie has two classic and elegant buttons near her collarbone, and a cute little dragon is embroidered on her left chest. The red color makes Ye Zhi's skin look even whiter and more delicate, which is simply adorable.

Ye Zhi, who had already attracted most people's attention, drew everyone's attention to her even more when she said "useless".

The room was filled with middle-aged and young men, who were completely unable to resist the adorable Ye Zhi. Their gazes toward Xu Xin, who had wet his pants, shifted from amusement to resentment.

How could he even bring himself to curse such an adorable child? I hope he never has a daughter in his life!

Ye Zhi's attention was entirely focused on controlling the earth spikes. She had said she would cut off his fingers, and she meant what she said.

Using his supernatural abilities and mental power, he manipulated the earth spikes to attack Xu Xin, who was being carried, with the target being the finger Xu Xin was pointing at.

Just as Xu Xingang, who thought he was far from danger, relaxed his stiff body and was about to open his mouth to curse again, he saw the earthen spike, shaped like a Doritos cone but with a sharper tip than a Doritos cone, even sharper than the tip of a nail, piercing straight towards his index finger.

"Run, run! Ah, my hand, my hand!" Xu Xingang urged the man carrying him to run, but it was too late. Ye Zhi's earth spikes had already mercilessly pierced his arrogant index finger, penetrating his finger bone.

The pain of having your fingers pierced through your heart is unbearable, and similarly, the pain of having your index finger bone pierced through is also unbearable. Blood gushed from his index finger, dripping onto the ground with a "drip, drip" sound.

"Ahhh."

Xu Xin's scream was accompanied by the sound of the conference room wall collapsing to the ground; the attack from the remaining few people had breached the conference room.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." A biting cold draft blew through the room, and everyone wrapped their clothes tighter around themselves, but they were still shivering from the cold.

Old Master Song's emotionless voice rang out, "Yunhao, don't worry, we'll pay double for the repair costs of your conference room."

What was Chen Yunhao's reaction?

Of course, he stood up and accepted it with a smile.

Feelings are feelings, and material things are material things; they are two different things.

He walked right past Ye Zhi's family without even glancing at the screaming Xu Xin.

This fool, do you think the people he invited and treated with courtesy are just easy targets?

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle Song. The repair fee isn't much; four five-pound bags of rice will do."

These four five-pound bags of rice were only worth about a hundred yuan before the apocalypse, not even enough to cover a worker's daily wage.

But this is no longer the pre-apocalyptic world; this is the real apocalypse, an era of scarce resources. Twenty kilograms of rice is very precious. Although it's not enough for everyone in the Victory Base to have a single bite, it is truly valuable.

Chen Yunhao felt he was asking for too much. The hole in the conference room wall could be repaired by any earth-type ability user. He was just about to reduce the repair fee to a five-pound bag of rice when...

Grandpa Song waved his hand domineeringly, and Ye Zhi saw the secret signal that Grandpa Song and she had agreed on. She and Grandpa Song cooperated perfectly, and eight bags of rice appeared on the floor of the conference room.

This was something the group had agreed upon when they agreed to team up to search for supplies. They wouldn't expose Ye Zhi's spatial ability, and if absolutely necessary, Old Master Song would step in, with the spatial ability being assigned to him.

This is to protect Ye Zhi; Old Master Song's imposing figure can scare away a group of people with ulterior motives.

Ye Zhi was also happy to accept the love and care from her family.

Grandpa Song didn't even glance at the supplies on the ground, as if they were just a drop in the ocean, showing no sign of heartache. "Fine, take them."

Everyone present was stunned by the spatial abilities and overwhelming aura that Old Master Song displayed.

Space-based superpower!

Supplies!

These people are hardly a burden; their spatial abilities alone are enough to make them honored guests at various bases.

What's more, all of these people are superhumans.

This includes the woman, the old man, and the baby whom Xu Xin dislikes.

They're all superhumans!

They could see it clearly: the seemingly frail woman possessed a power attribute far greater than anyone else's; she was a lightning-type ability user!

That adorable little baby was even more deceiving; it was the soil spikes she released that pierced Xu Xin's finger bones.

Extraordinarily gifted!

Damn it, even that old man's superpowers are far more powerful than anyone else's here.

Compared to those few people, they are just trash.

My complexion and clothing aren't as good as theirs, I don't have as many supplies, and even my speed, strength, and power are all inferior to theirs.

How did that idiot Xu Xin dare to provoke them?

Calling him a fool is an understatement; Xu Xin truly was a fool. When he saw the four neatly stacked bags of rice on the ground, his eyes lit up, and he screamed even more desperately, his voice several octaves louder, like a pig about to be slaughtered.

"Ouch, it hurts so much! My finger is ruined! You've ruined my finger! How am I supposed to live? What about the people at our Liaoyuan base? They're all counting on me to bring back supplies."

Wang Yike, who was carrying him, understood what he meant and chimed in, "That's right, Xu Xin is the strongest in our base. All 500,000 people in our base depend on him for their livelihood."

"By crippling his fingers, you've crippled our Liaoyuan Base."

[Listen to this, is he even speaking human language? He can't survive just because he lost a finger? A base with a million people has to rely on a useless person to keep it alive?]

[Let's just stop calling it the "Prairie Fire Base"; it's an insult to the saying "A single spark can start a prairie fire."]

Ye Zhi rolled her eyes in front of everyone and uttered four hilarious words: "Clumsy Base".

Even though rolling her eyes is such an unseemly gesture, Ye Zhi's performance still makes people smile like an aunt.

Because she's so adorable, the child's eyes are so bright, with the black of her eyeballs making up most of her pupils. Even when she rolls her eyes, it doesn't make you dislike her; instead, it makes you want to pet her even more.

Hearing Yun Ling's words, Wang Yike assumed it was just a child's unclear expression and didn't pay much attention. He continued to cry, "What are we going to do about the millions of people in our Liaoyuan Base? You few are just scourges, you've committed a sin! You must compensate us!"

His eyes darted around, revealing the same greedy look in Xu Xin's eyes. The two were indeed sworn brothers, conspiring together in evil.

"Here's what we'll do: let's calculate your medical expenses, lost wages, compensation for emotional distress, and so on. We'll also give you 5,000 jin of rice, plus all of you joining our Liaoyuan Base and working for us for free for a year. That will be enough to atone for your sins."
