Chapter 536: Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Six: He Wants to Poach
Lin Xiuyuan, Nie Qing, Lian Jiyue, and Lu Hao remained above the inner field with Su Jin.
Although Lin Xiuyuan felt that his special ability had depleted by half, he believed he could hold on for a while longer.
Seeing the endless horde of zombies, Liang Jiuhui was already calculating the income from this Zombie Tide in his mind, wondering how many Crystal Cores he should allocate to Su Jin and Lu Hao.
The base was now least lacking in Crystal Cores, and he had just received news from Ding He that the base had purchased another 500 bags of food from the Heart Talk Store, reassuring him not to worry about the base’s food supply.
While Liang Jiuhui was curious about how much supplies Su Jin’s group had, Liang Wei had told him not to pry into other people’s secrets. As long as it didn’t harm the base, or even better, was beneficial to the base, there was no need to delve too deeply.
Wasn’t it the same with the Mysterious Fire Fan that Lu Hao so openly displayed below?
"What are you grinning about?"
A voice came from behind Liang Jiuhui, and Wei Junhao emerged from a tower and asked.
"Nothing much, just feeling good seeing the number of zombies steadily decreasing,"
Liang Jiuhui responded.
"Decreasing? I don’t see it. But your base is safe; there’s no need to worry about zombies breaking in,"
Having observed for a long time, Wei Junhao felt that even if the people of S City Base did nothing but stay within the walls, not a single zombie would be able to infiltrate.
"That’s not necessarily the case. Besides, sooner or later, humans will eradicate the zombies. Why let them besiege the city indefinitely?"
Liang Jiuhui sighed, recalling the internal strife within the base when zombies had been let in. Hence, no matter how strong a base was, there would never be absolute safety.
"That’s true. Anyway, the people of your base are united, especially your Heart Talk Team. I really feel like poaching them,"
Wei Junhao looked enviously at the group down below. Such a strong team was a treasure wherever they went.
"If you want to use them, get ready to offer enough Crystal Cores to tempt them, but in the end, they will still come back to me,"
Liang Jiuhui confidently said, not to boast, but because Su Jin and Lu Hao had personally told him that as long as S City Base remained, they would stay there.
Crystal Cores, huh...
Although it was just a jest from Liang Jiuhui, Wei Junhao remembered those words nevertheless.
On the stairs of the city wall, Han Yue walked down step by step.
What to do?
He had his eyes on that Mysterious Fire Fan.
This return to B City would surely be without achievement, but if he could get that fan, the trip wouldn’t be in vain.
But how could he get it?
Thinking of Wang Liang, who was still recuperating in the Base Hospital, Han Yue thought of the simplest method.
The fact that Wang Liang was an Invisibility Ability User hadn’t been revealed even when Han Jin visited last time; if he could get Wang Liang to sneak into Heart Talk Team without anyone noticing...
Although it was risky, if he could combine it with his own ability, perhaps it was worth a shot.
While Lin Xiuyuan, Nie Qing, and Lian Jiyue took a break from the field, Su Jin and Lu Hao also temporarily left the area.
"How’s your special ability now?"
Lu Hao, holding Su Jin’s hand, asked.
"I still have plenty, almost full,"
Su Jin said helplessly, and while their hands were joined, she let Xiao Miao wrap around Lu Hao’s wrist beneath his sleeve.
Feeling his nearly depleted special ability power being replenished, Lu Hao couldn’t help but squeeze Su Jin’s hand before they both headed to a parked car not far away.
If Xiao Jin could still hold on, he would stay by her side.
Thus, those who followed were astonished to discover that Su Jin and Lu Hao, after resting for half an hour, had returned to the inner field and endured for another two hours.
"It’s unbelievable, completely monstrous,"
Even Liang Jiuqing couldn’t help but exclaim. The stamina of these two was somewhat frightening.
"I also... feel the same,"
Zheng Miaomiao, who had just left the field with Su Jin and Lu Hao, felt extremely weak; she hadn’t expected the two of them to go back in.
After her final exit from the field, Su Jin went to the temporary aid station to spend some time with Lin Tianhui.
It was only after she had sufficiently replenished Lin Tianhui’s Special Ability power that she and her family returned to the villa.
Meanwhile, Lin Tianhui tirelessly continued healing the patients.
"Director Lin, I can’t go on,"
Xiao Zhang, a Healing Element Ability User, said as he leaned against the wall, his ability power completely exhausted.
"You go rest first; I’ll take over for you,"
Lin Tianhui said with concern.
"Director Lin, you arrived even earlier than I did; won’t you go back now?"
Xiao Zhang hadn’t expected Director Lin to still be able to persist.
"There weren’t many injured just now; I was able to rest while healing, so I feel okay for now. You go back first; I’ll hold on for a while longer,"
Seeing that Lin Tianhui didn’t seem to be troubled, Xiao Zhang didn’t say anything more and trudged toward the Base Hospital.
He might as well sleep in the hospital’s resting room tonight; he no longer had the strength to walk back to his residence...
On the first day of combating the Zombie Tide, the base canteen provided a free dinner to all participants, consisting of a thick bowl of rice porridge, accompanied by some Mutant animal meat and a big white flour bun.
Some who ate slowly discovered that there seemed to be something resembling vegetables in the meat from Mutant animals.
One person picked out a milky white, long strip-shaped object with their chopsticks and, after examining it several times, exclaimed, "This is Chinese cabbage!!"
"What?! There’s actually cabbage?"
"My God, I’ve got a piece of Chinese cabbage in my bowl too!"
"This is inconceivable; could this be the Chinese cabbage cultivated by the base a while ago?"
Shao Zian was also eating in the base canteen and with a smile said to everyone, "You all guessed right, this is the Chinese cabbage cultivated in the base. It’s just that the supply is limited, and the Base Leader wanted to give something back to everyone after a hard day’s work."
Could it really be?!
A single piece of cabbage thrilled everyone, and the canteen food seemed to transform into delicious delicacies in everyone’s eyes, even as the sound of gunfire outside continued unceasingly and the zombies’ roars still thundered, the canteen remained their safe haven from the storm.
The sound of gunfire outside the base continued until nightfall before stopping.
Considering that the sound of gunfire could attract more zombies in the silent night, the base’s Weapon Research Institute was working on a way to create a cannon with sound suppression.
Even reducing the noise slightly so that it didn’t carry as far would be helpful.
Inside the villa, the family had already had dinner, and people like Guo Yang took the initiative to wash the dishes. They had just learned that Su Jin and the others had gone out again while they were still asleep.
"We woke up and just went to help out a bit,"
Lu Hao explained it this way, to prevent any feelings of imbalance.
"Hmm, after resting, we’ll go out and help out a bit too,"
Liao Yifan, who had regained his energy, commented while picking at a piece of fruit with a toothpick.
Mao Qiqi, who had been browsing through books with Lian Jiyue, suddenly stopped. She walked over to Su Jin, who was sitting on the couch drinking water, and said, "Sister Xiao Jin, there have been two people outside our villa for a long time."
