Chapter 534: 438 I know where Zhou Er and Zhang Long went.
Amid the surging Mutant Beast Tide, someone bemoaned with a clenched wrist, "If only time could flow backward, even though I was just an ordinary person then, I would crawl if I had to, to Xiang City Base, to take part in this fight."
Another spoke with a hint of sarcasm in their voice, "I'm afraid Xiang City Base might not need us anymore. Look at us, with such low Superpower Levels, even Chen Hu doesn't want us, how could Xiang City Base possibly want us?"
As time went by day by day, the gap between Superpower Users grew wider and wider, those outside saw their combat abilities increase more and more slowly, but within Xiang City Base, the Superpower Users' combat abilities grew by leaps and bounds.
Soon, there would be a clear distinction, and people would be sorted into ranks.
"Why don't we head to Xiang City Base? I've heard there are many oases outside Xiang City Base, where one could even buy the genuine Energy Water Drop."
"Xiang City Base is great."
The voice of Lin Zhigang rang out,
"It's said that Xiang City Base, surrounded by ten electric fences, isn't short of electricity at all. The earliest rain of Jelly Water has already and thickly accumulated capital for the entire Xiang City Base."
Furthermore, with the continuous supply of Energy Water Drop provided by Hua Mi, this type of Energy Water Drop could also be used as the original resource for generators, if not exchanged for Jelly Water.
These ten electric fences would guard Xiang City Base day and night, allowing the people inside Xiang City to engage in production.
Now, under the leadership of Qin Zhen, Xiang City Base had opened dozens of factories, each factory was not large in scale and did not employ many people.
Yet, the materials they produced were more than enough to meet the consumption within Xiang City Base, and there was even a surplus.
"This surplus material would be taken out of the city by the survivors doing missions, providing survival supplies to the survivors living in various oases outside Xiang City Base."
With Lin Zhigang's words, an image of abundant supplies slowly unraveled in front of Wang Dexuan and the others.
"Naturally, there will also be those on missions who would bring out genuine Energy Water Drop from inside Xiang City Base."
"It's even said that the Energy Water Drop is only the lowest grade of energy supplement in Xiang City. Beyond that, there are Energy Condensed Bead, Energy Crystal Pearl, and so on."
"However, those higher-grade energy supplements are not released to the public and are only supplied to the Garrison and management class of Xiang City."
But as long as the genuine Energy Water Drop was sufficient, that was enough.
Everyone couldn't imagine, just the lowest-grade energy supplement could provide such significant effects for Superpower Users, not to mention the higher-grade Energy Condensed Bead, Energy Crystal Pearl, and so forth.
The thought that even in the oases outside Xiang City Base one could obtain such pure energy supplements made everyone unable to restrain their nodding heads,
"Right, let's go to Xiang City Base. This damned F City doesn't value us anyway; let's go to Xiang City, even if we have to crawl there to die."
"Everyone, no need to rush."
Wang Dexuan spoke soothingly to his eager teammates, pointing to a motorhome not far off,
"My genuine Energy Water Drop was bought from the mistress of this motorhome. She sold it to me for 200 Crystal Cores a bottle."
"I think she still has plenty of stock. For now, let's just buy the Energy Water Drop from her."
Some teammates curiously stared at the rear of the motorhome.
It felt as if their energy channels were unlocked, and they instantly understood, "I get it, the person inside this motorhome must be someone who took on a mission from inside Xiang City."
Wang Dexuan found this explanation reasonable, and seeing the motorhome starting up again, he quickly called over to his teammates, "Brothers, follow up!"
The group continued to move forward, fighting Mutant Beasts.
At this time, the man who had just been judged as qualified to live inside the prison all day came to an end of his tiresome killings.
He trudged back toward the prison with heavy footsteps.
Someone behind him called out, "Wang Guangyi?"
Indeed, his surname was also Wang, and he was a young man from the same village as Wang Dexuan.
After the apocalypse came, these two from Wang Family Village awakened their superpower abilities successively.
Only that Wang Guangyi's talent far surpassed Wang Dexuan; he was spotted by Chen Hu upon his arrival at the settlement and started living in the prison.
For a long time, Wang Guangyi always thought that his life was more upscale than Wang Dexuan's. He lived the life that Wang Dexuan envied and always held a sense of superiority, constantly criticizing Wang Dexuan's current living conditions.
However, he hadn't expected that when Wang Dexuan's Superpower was upgraded and qualified him for prison life, Wang Dexuan would choose to give it up.
Wang Guangyi couldn't help but recall the motorhome that could easily leave the Mutant Beast Tide behind.
Full of doubts, he spoke to his teammates returning to the prison, "Did any of you see anyone else in that motorhome outside the settlement today?"
Someone recollected, "There was a woman holding a long sword; she looked incredibly fierce."
"Right, right! She chopped up Mutant Beasts as if she were slicing through watermelons."
Imitating Hua Mi's beast-slashing movements, someone clicked their tongue in admiration, "I have never seen anyone perform the act of slaying Mutant Beasts so smoothly; it was like watching a dance."
"It's just that this woman was a bit fat, and she covered herself from head to toe; otherwise, I would really like to get to know her."
Wang Guangyi gave a glance at the person speaking and then looked towards the team of Superpower Users heading out to kill Mutant Beasts, "Where did Zhou Er and Zhang Long go?"
He pointed towards people approaching from the opposite direction. Usually, Zhou Er and Zhang Long loved going out to kill Mutant Beasts and hunt for Crystal Cores. Why were they absent today?
The Captain of the approaching team shook his head helplessly, "Don't mention it, they can't be found anywhere; I don't know where they've gone. I've already asked others in the prison to keep an eye out. As soon as they show up, they'll be ordered to quickly join the fight against Mutant Beasts."
Wang Guangyi nodded and did not dwell on it, continuing to lead his group deep into the prison.
This prison was once the number one prison before the apocalypse, naturally having some dark and bottomless places. Zhou Er and Zhang Long might be in such places.
As Wang Guangyi made his way to his living quarters, passing by each cell, he would greet the inmates.
He observed the current living conditions of the people inside: some numbly smoked, some took advantage of the rest time to play cards in their cells.
And there were those who secluded themselves with women in their cells, doing unspeakable acts.
Continuing deep into the gloomy depths of the prison, Wang Guangyi seemed to have witnessed the myriad ways of the world.
Just as he was turning the corner of the corridor, a man pulled him aside.
"Captain Wang, I know where Zhou Er and Zhang Long have gone."
