Chapter 581: Chapter 581: Advance Together
However, what the group found amusing was that as soon as Su Jin and the others had finished preparing the meal, Han Yue led several people from the ninth floor down.
He picked up a steamed bun and started eating as if nobody else was there.
Hang Wenshan and the others felt awkward and did not reach out to grab one, wishing they could find a hole to crawl into, right?
But Su Jin did not stop them and stood up to say to those behind her,
"Before we set off, it was our Base Leader Liang Jiuhui who paid for your meals along the way. Please help yourselves."
Bai Ying bit her lip, and at that moment, all she could think of was the phrase Mao Qiqi had said before: "Shameless."
"Don’t just stand there, guys. The supplies stored in Qiqi’s space are still fine for now, eat them while they’re hot."
Su Jin said to Wei Junhao and the others.
"Su Jin, who made these buns? They taste really good,"
Wei Junhao praised as he ate.
"Yes, yes, they’re so delicious,"
Zhu Chang kept nodding. Why was everything from the Heart Talk Team so tasty?
"It’s something we all made together back at the base. If you like them, eat more,"
Su Jin said with a smile as she and Qiqi brought out another big basket of steamed buns and placed it on the ground. With so many buns gone from the kitchen, Grandpa would probably be happy again.
Seeing Su Jin’s generosity, even Hang Wenshan and the others gathered around. Wang Liang only felt that at this moment, Han Yue was like a ball of air to everyone else, while they were having a lively chat, and here he was, all by himself.
Perhaps it was the effect of the delicious breakfast, but Hang Wenshan and the others did not return to the ninth floor with Han Yue. Instead, they joined the last phase of the zombie-killing squad, fighting alongside the Heart Talk Team and Wei Junhao and his crew.
After replenishing the special abilities of Lu Hao, Lu Guanhai, and Lian Jiyue, Su Jin did not hold back her own ability, and on the riverbank, she caused a forest of vines to grow rapidly, strangling and penetrating the zombies within the area.
Finally, by the afternoon of that day, all the zombies on the riverbank had been cleared.
And Lu Hao could no longer refrain from advancing to the next level.
"You focus on advancing, we’ll dig for Crystal Cores in the meantime and rest here while waiting for you,"
Su Jin said to Lu Hao as she took out a Fire Element Crystal Core on the fifth floor of the high tower.
There was just the right room on the fifth floor, a sealed fragrant chamber that Su Jin had already cleaned out.
"Alright, wait for me,"
Lu Hao kissed Su Jin’s cheek and took the Crystal Core to begin absorbing it.
Su Jin closed the door of the fragrant chamber and finally breathed a sigh of relief. If all went well, they would stay here for two days.
No one objected, nor did anyone consult Han Yue’s opinion. Instead, everyone expressed great envy over Lu Hao’s advancement because, according to Su Jin, Lu Hao would be a Level Seven Fire Element once he successfully advanced.
"Tsk tsk, Level Seven Fire Element, that’s just insane,"
Wei Junhao said as he cracked sunflower seeds that Mao Qiqi and Su Jin had brought out for everyone.
"I might be advancing soon too,"
Luo Hongyi walked over and said.
Level Six Thunder Element?
"That’s great, Captain Luo! You’re amazing!"
Wei Junhao was the happiest of all. Luo Hongyi was a Special Ability User personally groomed by his uncle. If he could use this opportunity to advance, it would be a cause for great celebration!
"..."
"Here, these are for you. Good luck with your advancement,"
Su Jin handed out some Thunder Element Crystal Cores to Luo Hongyi.
Luo Hongyi was startled for a moment but still accepted the Crystal Core with a smile, "Thank you."
"Sister Xiao Jin, Xiao Yue said he’s also going to advance,"
Mao Qiqi said happily.
"What?! So many people are advancing? That Han guy is probably going to die of anger, he can’t stand to see others doing well,"
Xu Mingliang squatted by the wall, eating sunflower seeds with an air of schadenfreude.
"..."
So just how much did this Xu Mingliang resent Han Yue?
Su Jin simply took Luo Hongyi and Lian Jiyue to the fifth floor, where there were more partitions and it was quieter, most suited for advancement.
...
Meanwhile, in F City Base, what Wu Xingye and his companions had speculated was becoming a reality.
The small western-style building where Long Aotian and his group stayed really had its threshold trampled over...
Inside F City Base, it had been boiling over for several days, due to the large number of Survivors, and a long line had once again formed outside the small western-style building.
"It’s a good thing Su Jin stuffed her storage bag so full it couldn’t fit anymore; otherwise, I’d really feel guilty,"
Lin Xiuyuan said.
"Hey, don’t judge my storage bag by its shabby exterior; it has a large capacity inside. Go ahead and sell without worries! The Crystal Cores will come rolling in, haha,"
Nie Qing absolutely loved the feeling of collecting Crystal Cores, and was delighted that his storage bag finally came in handy.
Lin Xiuyuan and his company were selling supplies under the banner of the True Martial Sect, inadvertently making the True Martial Sect the object of the entire Base’s support.
"The True Martial Sect received supplies and is selling them to us for such a low price; they truly have righteousness in their hearts,"
"The True Martial Sect has always been upright. Just think, at the beginning of the Apocalypse, that small martial arts school saved so many people,"
"I used to be ashamed of F City Base, just because the rules here don’t allow the elderly and children in, but now I think our F City Base still has people who can carry the weight,"
"Do you think if Wu Xingye became the Base Leader, we wouldn’t be without Crystal Cores to advance?"
"You’re right about that, isn’t Long Aotian from the True Martial Sect the type to accept any Crystal Core that comes his way?"
"Magnanimous! Truly fit for great responsibility!"
Hence, within just three short days, the reputation of True Martial Sect surged greatly. The Base’s cafeteria and the supply trading posts were so deserted that one could roll a ball through, and even some people spontaneously supported Wu Xingye to take over as the next Base Leader.
A baffled Wu Xingye: "..."
"Teacher, you’ve become famous now. Wherever you go outside, it’s all about our True Martial Sect and you,"
Xiao Yu said while washing her senior brothers’ clothes, her workload having decreased a lot these past few days.
Many people from the True Martial Sect, to express their thanks to Long Aotian and the others, not only maintained order on the spot but also dispatched many to help them sell supplies and count Crystal Cores, so there were much fewer dirty clothes.
"Isn’t this a bit exaggerated?"
Wu Xingye, not feeling happy at all, held his forehead. Who wanted to be a damned Base Leader? He had never even thought about that!
But just because he hadn’t thought about it didn’t mean others hadn’t.
Liu Jianyuan now couldn’t wait to annihilate the True Martial Sect. He had already been very wary of the True Martial Sect because of its large number of members and the fact that the strongmen from several major bases were also in the True Martial Sect. Even the non-Special Ability members of the True Martial Sect were each capable of fighting and enduring.
Little did he expect that they would somehow get their hands on so many supplies, exchanging them for Ordinary Crystal Cores, and selling them to the people of the Base for such a cheap price.
"That old bastard Wu Xingye, what a calculation!"
Liu Jianyuan clenched his teeth in hatred.
"That’s easy enough. You’re the Base Leader here; why not confiscate those supplies for the Base and be done with it?"
