Chapter 141
The strange population growth made Mu Yun alert. As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal, and something big must have happened. Come to the B area task hall. Although the appearance of the hall is ordinary, the interior decoration of the hall is unique, with uniform white walls and simple and elegant golden floor tiles. There are also more than a dozen beautiful young ladies in professional clothes. Those who don't know would think they have returned to the beginning of the end of the world. The hall is divided into three areas. One is the six counter windows for accepting and submitting tasks, one is the six windows for exchanging crystal cores for points, and the last is the registration counter for purchasing base residence rights. There are a total of eighteen windows, each of which is hung with an electronic display screen, playing the corresponding information. Walking into the hall, a large number of people gathered at the windows for purchasing the right to live in the base.
Originally, the windows here were the most deserted at ordinary times. For some reason, so many forces suddenly came today.
Coincidentally, Mu Yun found several familiar faces.
Can't say familiar, just a one-time encounter.
Zheng Yawen hooked Zheng Mingjie's hand and complained reluctantly.
"Brother Jie, the houses here are too expensive, right?"
"A small villa costs 1,000 points, and the water and electricity bills have to be paid by ourselves. The crystal cores we have worked hard to collect are almost used up."
"Or we should go back to the old place."
Hearing Zheng Yawen's words, Zheng Mingjie frowned slightly, "Don't make trouble, the outside world is not like before, how can we live outside?"
"But..."
"Okay, be obedient, although the price is a bit high, the Longting base is the safest in City B." Zheng Mingjie interrupted Zheng Yawen's words.
Seeing Zheng Mingjie's impatient expression, Zheng Yawen grumbled and stopped talking.
There were several subordinates beside the two, each of whom had the strength of a third-level superpower.
This group of people was the group that was attacked by the mutant Erha in the black rain half a month ago.
At that time, Mu Yun and others happened to pass by. In order not to delay the plan to lure the zombie tide, they were fortunately rescued.
But I don't know why, originally developing well outside, why suddenly choose to stay in Longting.
Curious, Mu Yun walked towards them.
Zheng Mingjie seemed to feel something and looked back at Mu Yun.
The moment their eyes touched, Zheng Mingjie narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Are you okay?"
Zheng Mingjie asked first, with a smile on his face, which made Mu Yun have an illusion that they had known each other for a long time.
"My friend, I just want to ask why so many forces choose to stay here today. Is there something important?"
Mu Yun asked politely.
Zheng Mingjie heard this and showed a look of realization, "Oh! You are talking about this matter."
He paused, and just as he was about to speak, Zheng Yawen on the side flashed a cunning look in her eyes.
She spoke first, "It's not impossible to tell you. Give us 10 points and we'll tell you."
Zheng Yawen rubbed her hands like a profiteer.
"Yawen! Don't talk nonsense!" Zheng Mingjie scolded.
Mu Yun raised his eyebrows, but didn't mind.
It's just 10 points, which is equivalent to 50 cents for Mu Yun now.
"Sorry, my girlfriend is ignorant. It's just a piece of news. It doesn't matter if you tell your friends directly." Zheng Mingjie said apologetically.
Mu Yun looked at him twice more. He felt that this kid was ambitious, resourceful, and could accomplish great things.
He was also very clear about the ways of the world.
Even before the end of the world, he could still make a name for himself.
"Actually, the main reason we came here this time was because of the zombie riot in the original Z12 area.
I don't know what went wrong, but the zombies that had gathered spread to all parts of the city.
Now the streets and alleys outside are full of green slaves, and even the areas that had been cleared before are full of zombies again.
The most important thing is that there are four terrifying mutant green slaves wreaking havoc everywhere, and it is said that there are also sixth-level monsters.
For safety reasons, we decided to temporarily station in Longting."
Mu Yun pondered for a moment and asked, "Then why don't you go to the military base?"
Zheng Mingjie shrugged, "The military can't even protect itself, so how can they care about the lives of us, the idlers."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"The military base is in the center of the city, surrounded by the zombies in three circles inside and outside. Even if we go, it's probably a dead end."
Hearing this, Mu
Yun's face suddenly became interesting.
He hadn't even started to deal with Yang Chen yet, how could this guy be so miserable, almost dead?
"Thank you, my friend, this is a reward."
Mu Yun didn't like to owe favors to people, even if it was a simple thing, so he simply threw them two second-level crystal cores.
"Then I won't bother you anymore, goodbye."
After saying goodbye politely, Mu Yun left without looking back.
Zheng Mingjie stood there and watched his back as he left, thinking.
"Brother Jie, who is this guy? He's so generous."
Zheng Yawen next to him was amazed.
"You come to someone else's territory and don't even know what their boss looks like. You're so stupid."
Zheng Mingjie insulted Zheng Yawen without hesitation.
"What!? He is the city lord of Longting Base, Mu Yun?!"
Zheng Yawen exclaimed, attracting the attention of the people around her, looking over here in confusion.
Zheng Mingjie coughed lightly and lowered his voice, "Hush! Keep your voice down."
"Sorry, sorry." Zheng Yawen stuck out her tongue.
"I didn't expect this city lord to be so young, he's really amazing."
Mu Yun's deeds have long been spread throughout China, but most people sneer at whether he is the savior.
Seeing is believing, hearing is false.
Anyone with a little IQ can see clearly what is rumor and what is truth.
Even if Mu Yun can predict the time when the black rain will appear, so what.
There are so many supernatural powers in the world, it is not impossible for one or two predictive skills to appear occasionally.
As for the stockpiling of goods before the end of the world, who knows if it is just luck.
Maybe there is no such thing at all.
It's all rumors spread by capital operation.
In short, Ye Hanyue's text message can only attract a group of ordinary people.
People who really have the means don't care about saviors, and the truth is to become stronger.
Zheng Mingjie is one of them.
"Okay, don't worry about it. Let's go to our base first and find a place to rest." Zheng Mingjie waved his hand and walked towards Area C with his men.
