Chapter 147

The Song family's base was the largest and most powerful base in Country C and maintained close ties with other survivor bases. After Song family's base moved to the Northeast Plains, many bases followed as well. They were spread out into several surrounding cities to form a survivor's alliance. Therefore, the base had houses dedicated to entertain visitors.

However, there were good and bad housing. When receiving the call from Gong Yuanhang, the Song family's base prepared the worst one for the people from Gong family's base. The house was converted from a warehouse and was used to greet them. One could smell a strong, pungent and musty smell as you as the door was opened. There wasn’t a lot of space to sleep, only a few rows of floor mats made of brown mats and sheets were laid down, making it so that three or four hundred people had to squeeze together to sleep. The Gong family brought more than 4000 people with them, all of whom were arranged in such humble housing. Compared to the slaves of Song family's base, there was basically no difference except for being clean and tidy. This was a show of obvious contempt.

The logistics staff for the placement of Gong family's base's people had a contemptuous look on their face. After seeing a large group of master ability users with colourful eyes, the logistic staff and their deputy shook at the same time as they could not believe their eyes. An unnamed base, with more than 400 ability users, counted as nothing but mere ants in their eyes. However, when these people were seen in real life, they knew who really were the ants and who were the frogs in the bottom of the well.

There were indeed only a few ability users at Gong family's base, but on average, they were high in level. They couldn't be compared to those bases that had a lot of ability users but uneven levels. Looking at these people with deep coloured eyes, the lowest level was a third-level mid-grade while the number of fourth-level low-grade were around seventeen or eighteen. What was more exaggerated was that one of these fourth-level ability users was a child barely over ten years-old. Even ordinary people looked extraordinarily strong and seemed as if they couldn't be underestimated.

The arrogance on the faces of the logistic staff cracked a little before finally being blown by the wind. When he saw these people pushing open the door to the warehouse under their watchful eye, their cheeks and the deputy quickly walked up to a fourth-level low-grade master and said, "The guests' rooms are still being cleaned and cannot be occupied. Please take a break here and wait for them to be cleaned, then I will take you there."

More than a dozen fourth-level masters had gathered there and the aura they exuded was not something ordinary people could bear. Only after speaking a few words, the back of the logistic staff member was already soaked with cold sweat. He was a third-level high-grade fire ability user and used to boast his extraordinary strength to others, but now, he feels that he was almost as insignificant as dust.

"No need. Anyways, we will be leaving early in the morning, so it doesn't matter where we stay at night." Tan Mingyuan shook his head and Wang Tao and the others also agreed.

Their calm and indifferent attitude caused the logistic staff member to be stunned, making him unable to recover for a while. He had never seen such a good-tempered master ability user. In this world, the strongest was respected thus making all ability users with a higher level quite arrogant. It was not uncommon for them to shout and kill for the slightest offense. The logistic staff member that he would be taught an unavoidable lesson, but didn't expect the other party to be so calm. He left with a dumbfounded expression on his face. After reviewing the event, he had to admit that such a master ability user was deserving of admiration. At least, his good feelings towards these people were on the rise. He immediately called and sent them food and hot water, taking attentive care of them.

After a brief wash and lunch, some people sat on the rough floor and played cards or chatted. There was of course a group of ability users who even directly meditated in such a noisy environment. Other people who saw them secretly lamented: Anyone who can enter this group was not mortal! Let us obey!

They thought that the strength of Gong family's base was weak and was not even worth Song Haoxuan to even go and greet the other party. But after meeting with them, Song Haoxuan realized that if anyone could compete with him in the future, it would be Gong family's base. What made him more concerned was that the cousin he has pushed out of the Song family's battle of succession had a high status in this base. His cousin's strength was only slightly inferior to him and he would soon catch up to him soon. Song Haoxuan felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. Immediately after returning to the command center, he asked his subordinates to pay attention to the situation of the Gong family's base. It would be best if they could slip in a senior staff.

As a result, the guest houses where Gong family's base's people stayed ushered in wave after wave of friends who came to visit to greet them. The Song family's base was also a militarized management form. Due to the large number of people, their management method was more rigorous and more formal than that of Long Snake Island. They were envious of the Gong family’s base after seeing the amount of talented members they’ve recruited. They made plans to recruit them as soon as they received Song Haoxuan’s order to do so.

Song Haoxuan was a general. There were three commanders, three battalions, three company commanders, three platoon leaders, and three squad leaders under his command. These people were the management backbone of the Song family's base and were in a superior position. Of course, their status was not stable and were only supported by their own strength and the strength of their subordinates. Once they fell behind, they would be replaced by others at any time. Seeing that the Gong family's base had so many master ability users, their greed eagerly jumped in their eyes. When they received Song Haoxuan's order, they immediately moved to attract the talents.

It's a pity that they talked until their mouths were dry, but didn't even see a single person from Gong family's base showing a touch of interest. The Song family's base belonged to the largest power group in Country C. These people were the backbone of this group and were used to being fawned on by others. It was the first time they were treated like this. They soon lost their patience and left with a black face, leaving only two of them behind. The head of the regiment, Bao Hong, was sitting next to Xiao Sunjie and persevered in convincing him.

Bai Hong was a 27 years old woman. At the age when women were the most energetic, she had smooth skin with a healthy honey colour, a big beautiful face with a light and pleasant smile and ice blue eyes. The bright colour of her eyes, although not that deep in colour, would make people feel comfortable to look at. Her body was also plump and fit and had a curvy shape.

This was a very charming female. If it was not for her sturdy strength in being a fourth-level low-grade ice ability user, she may have been reduced to a tool for lust that made all the male ability users scramble for their turn. Women who wanted to live in the apocalyptic days and live well, always paid a higher price than men. Bai Hong's cruelty and patience with Xiao Sunjie illustrated both of these and showed that she was not a simple person.

However, although Bai Hong had always been known for being patient, it seems that her charms had hit the iron wall today. No matter what she said, the little fart of a boy in front of her just responded with a few words at ta time and with no specific expression. If it weren't for the child's young age and high strength, she wouldn't have tolerated the child until now. The only master ability user in this warehouse was Sun Jie. The others were high-leveled, but if one looked at the light that occasionally flashed in their eyes, one knew that in no means these people were easy to control if they joined her team. If these joined her team, she would surely be replaced by these people instead. She was not so stupid.

Xiao Sun Jie blinked his pair of ice blue eyes, his expression showing an ignorant and innocent look, but in fact, he was vomiting inside his heart. Aiya~ Every ability user third-level and up will get a set of python armour? Our base has even an eighty-year-old lady and eight-year-old children equipped with a python armour set. Even newborn little babies had a small python armour set! Aiya, the headquarters will supply the strong ability users with fourth-level crystal nucleus? We haven't even used up the high level crystal nuclei distributed by Young Master Gong yet. Many of the surplus is even used to feed our resident zombie! Aiya~ I can have a bowl of rice every day? Can we eat supper after eating rice? I heard that I can drink the blue potion soon! Aiya~ If I was bitten by a zombie or mutant animal, I can be saved with strong disinfection water if the wound is treated within 10 minutes after being infected? We're more poisonous than zombies! The zombies are more afraid of being bitten by us!

When Bai Hong talked about various benefits of the Song family's base, but there were many people in the warehouse vomiting inwardly. Everyone was a little irritated and felt a little funny, but more of it was from their unparalleled sense of superiority. However, they could only taste this sense of superiority in silence and never actually declare it out loud. Therefore, everyone had a meaningful smile at the corner of their lips which made Bai Hong a little puzzled. Did this expression mean that they were tempted or not tempted? It looked so weird.

"What's up with this powerful disinfected potion at your base? Can zombie poison really be isolated with it?" Jin Shangyu sitting in the corner asked curiously. She was always full of interest when it came to medicine.

"Of course. As long as the young was rinsed with this medicine within ten minutes, the infection can be eliminated. At present, the medicine is only available for our base's use only. People from other bases can exchange it for supplies, but the price is pretty high and they can only get a maximum of three bottles. Ordinary people simply can't afford them."

Bai Hong narrowed her eyes, showing an arrogant look on her face while still heeding everyone's reaction. As soon as this drug came out, it would cause a huge wave in Country C. From then, the Song family's base would become a sacred place for everyone, attracting many master ability users with outstanding abilities and other bases would want to attach themselves to them to curry favor. She believed that no one here would not be tempted.

"Ah~ It should be mixed with potent molecules of strong toxins to make the potion to have such an effect. However, the adhesion molecules are very corrosive. Once the agent is splashed, this would ulcerate more widely, no? It would stop the infection, but its not easy to deal with so much corrode flesh! Moreover, this medicine only works when the toxin is still latent on the surface. If you wait too long or the wound area is too big or too deep, it's a dead end! It's really useless!"

Jin Shangyu shook her head with regret. This kind of medicine was completely useless for their 'emerging race' whose blood had been transformed. However, she was still very interested in the ingredients in this agent. It seemed that the Song family's base had a deep background and a large number of scientists too. She must remind Young Master Gong in the future to help her when they reach Ningcheng. It decided that their drugs would not be allowed to be used by outsiders, but it's not difficult to create a replica of this potion to sell.

Thinking of that, Jin Shangyu smiled while yawning.

Bai Hong stared at the girl wearing a black hoodie with an expression of shock. The output of this disinfection water was extremely low. Currently, only 30 bottles have been prepared and they haven't flowed out to the outside world. The leaders of the other survivor bases are gathered in Liaocheng for the purpose of exchanging for this potion. Apart from the few slaves who tried this potion and the six high-ranking bases they were allied to, no one knew the specific effects of this potion. However, this girl accurately described the effects after using the potion. Was this a coincidence or…

Thinking of that, Bai Hong's ice blue eyes burst with killing intent. She wanted to ask Jin Shangyu why she knew the effects so clearly. But because the people around her were part of the Gong family's base, she could only hold herself back and wait to go back. She would ask the leader to find a way to capture the woman in the future.

Bai Hong looked at Jin Shangyu deeply before she turned to leave. Jin Shanghui, who was shrinking in a corner, had already felt the killing intent. He rushed over like lightning and raised his claws to attack.

"Fourth-level metal zombie!? How could it be?" Seeing Jin Shanghui's black nails and golden, vertical eyes, Bai Hong screamed and quickly utilized her ability to fight back. The people in the warehouse had a cold face as soon as Jin Shanghui burst out and quickly blocked her retreat.
