Chapter 124 The prey that comes to your door
Jiang Yue didn't understand Lu Yize's restlessness, nor did she understand his hatred and everything he had experienced. She could only stay quietly by his side and awkwardly hug him back.
The surging emotions in my heart cannot be expressed in simple words. It's like my chest is filled with hot blood, yet I can't utter a single word of comfort.
She hugged Lu Yize, her fingers touching his back. The zombie was pondering complex human problems with his small brain, and for once, she wanted to be a little smarter.
I want to understand Lu Yize.
Jiang Yue thought absentmindedly that she would probably need to eat at least a hundred crystal cores.
Lu Yize was able to process his emotions much faster than Jiang Yue's brain worked.
Lu Yize had returned to normal before Jiang Yue figured out whether she could eat a hundred crystal cores at once.
"Get ready, you never know when a superpower core might be delivered to your door," Lu Yize said, gripping Jiang Yue's sharp claws.
A power core? Jiang Yue licked her lips; she liked eating power cores.
At this moment, the superpowered individuals that the couple was concerned about were still being kept outside the central base.
The group shivered from the cold and huddled together around the only fire-type ability user.
The lightning-type ability user was younger and more impatient. He turned around and asked with dissatisfaction, "Brother Dong, why haven't the people from the central base come out yet? Are they not planning to let us in?"
Dong Hong stared coldly at the gate of the central base. "Wait a little longer. They'll let us in unless they're stupid."
If they weren't allowed in, Dong Hong's eyes turned ruthless; he would try to storm in, kill the useless people inside, and steal their food.
The light-elemental ability user was older, and he stared at the central base with a greedy expression.
With such a large base, once they enter, they'll resume their previous lives.
The apocalypse is really great! This light-elemental ability user was just an unemployed person before the apocalypse, but after the apocalypse, he was lucky enough to awaken his ability.
After awakening his superpowers, he could freely enjoy the resources and women in the base, living a life of unparalleled comfort.
He looked at the outer wall of the central base with a lewd smile. He guessed there were probably quite a few beauties inside. It was so cold outside; he wouldn't mind warming a few beauties up.
The fire-type ability user surrounded in the center frowned. He and these people were partners who met halfway through their lives, but the more he got to know them, the more he realized that they were not like him.
When he realized this and tried to escape, he found that he could not escape. He was either going to die or he would have to follow. He had no choice but to follow.
While they were all lost in their own thoughts, the gates to the central base finally opened.
Zhu Lei, along with Zheng Lin and several other superhumans, appeared before them in an orderly fashion.
Dong Hong immediately put on a fawning expression, "Hello, may we go in now?"
Zhu Lei glanced at his subordinates, who handed over the supplies they had prepared earlier. Zhu Lei took them and passed them to the people in front of him.
"What does this mean?" Dong Hong had a bad feeling.
Zhu Lei spoke in a businesslike manner, "It's nothing, it's just that our captain thinks the base is already at full capacity, so you'll have to find another place."
The light-elemental ability user couldn't maintain his composure and spoke with a fierce expression, "Do you know what you're saying? We're all ability users!"
Zheng Lin was at an age where he couldn't handle any more provocation. Hearing the greasy-haired, big-eared middle-aged man say these words, and his eyes kept glancing at his sister, he couldn't stand this man anymore.
"So what if you have superpowers? It's the apocalypse, do we still need superpowers? Keep your eyes to yourself, or I'll gouge them out and feed them to the dogs if you dare to look around again!"
The lightning-type ability user was taken aback by their reaction and said angrily, "Your central base is going too far!"
Zheng Lin wanted to argue with the other person, but Zheng Mu called out to him, "Xiao Lin."
Upon hearing this, the lecherous light-elemental ability user immediately laughed and gave Zheng Mu a lewd look.
"This beauty is quite considerate. Have you been wronged by this young man? It's alright. As long as I enter the base, you can stay with me, and I'll take good care of you."
This light-elemental ability user was at level one, while Zheng Mu and Zheng Lin were both at level two. In addition, they were concealing their abilities, so he mistakenly thought that the two people in front of him had no abilities.
However, Dong Hong, who was also at the second level, noticed something was wrong and cursed him as an idiot in his heart!
Sure enough, as soon as he said that, plants sprang up from the ground and rushed toward the eyes of the light-elemental ability user.
When the light-elemental ability user realized what was happening, a halo of light rose up in a panic.
But the light was like glass, unable to block any attack. The sharp, arrogant plants pierced through the light circle and went straight for his eyes.
Immediately following was a painful howl; the man who had been so arrogant just moments before was now rolling on the ground, screaming and covering his eyes.
Zheng Lin's face was grim. "I told you, if you keep staring at my sister, I'll gouge your eyes out."
Bright red blood fell on the snow, but was quickly covered by the wind and snow. Zheng Mu smiled and said to the others who were still intimidated, "Sorry, my brother is a bit naughty."
Although she said that, she clearly didn't mean to blame anyone; in fact, she even exuded supernatural power as she spoke.
Dong Hong was shocked. This seemingly frail woman was actually a second-tier expert! Her abilities were even superior to his!
Seeing that the deterrent effect had been achieved, Zheng Mu withdrew his supernatural power and handed over the supplies he had prepared for them.
“Our base has limited space and cannot accommodate more people. Our captain is also very distressed about this, which is why we have prepared extra supplies for you.”
"But you don't need to worry. There's a small base of about twenty people three kilometers away from here. I think they'll definitely welcome you since you're so strong."
Dong Hong reluctantly accepted the supplies from Zheng Mu. The only one among them, the fire-type ability user, readily accepted the supply package and even thanked him.
Dong Hong was a man who knew how to assess the situation. He knew that they couldn't do anything to the people at the central base, so he kept today's humiliation in his heart and decided to seek revenge later.
As they turned around, Dong Hong overheard the boy next to that bitch blurt out, "Sis, Brother Lu and the others shouldn't run into these people, right?"
Zheng Lin was genuinely worried, but Zheng Mu smiled where the people behind her couldn't see.
"No, they're in the mountains more than ten kilometers away from us. We shouldn't be able to easily engage them. If we do, it would be troublesome, since they have plenty of supplies but few people."
“Yes.” Zheng Lin glanced subconsciously in the direction Lu Yize and the others had left.
Both Dong Hong, who was at the second level, and the fire-type ability user overheard their conversation.
After everyone at the central base had returned, a glint of greed flashed in Dong Hong's eyes. "Let's go! We'll find that base hidden in the mountains!"
