Chapter 125 Employment
After Yu Yao woke up, the group was finally relieved to confirm that there was really nothing wrong with her body.
Luo Mei became even more attached to her.
She was so sticky that even Chi Heng couldn't stand it, so he just threw her out to kill zombies.
Unexpectedly, he returned shortly after going out, bringing someone with him.
Nie Zhuoying.
Luo Pingjing and Jiang Yi were preparing breakfast, while Qi Xian was setting the table and chairs. Seeing Nie Zhuoying return, she asked in surprise, "Weren't you planning to go back to the capital? Why haven't you left yet?"
Nie Zhuoying said, "I've come to ask you for a favor."
Qi Xian laughed, "What kind of help? Just hungry and asking for a meal?"
"Help me find Xuanqing."
Dongfang Jin's face darkened. "Lei Xuanqing is missing?"
Lei Xuanqing, the grandson of Lei Lao of Kyoto, is one of Chi Heng's few friends.
Nie Zhuoying nodded. "We came out together and met a group of survivors. He was responsible for taking a few of them to the nearest Fog Mountain base. But it's been five days since he left, and he still hasn't returned."
"Oh?"
"Didn't you go to the base to look for them?"
"I've been there. I just got back from Fog Hill Base."
"Didn't find it?"
Nie Zhuoying nodded solemnly, "He has never been to the Fog Mountain Base."
Chi Heng frowned. "You mean, Lao Lei has been missing for five days? And you only just discovered it?"
"......Um."
Qi Xian frowned. "In this world, surveillance cameras are unusable, Skynet is unusable, and there isn't a single living person on the streets. Where are we supposed to look?"
Nie Zhuoying said, "I know you're in a difficult position, but among the people I know right now, I can't think of anyone else who can find him besides you."
Qi Xian asked, "And what about yourself?"
Nie Zhuoying frowned. "I have too many strange items on me, so I must return to the capital as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications. Don't worry, I won't let you go for nothing. How about we do what we do before? I'll hire you to help me find Xuanqing."
Dongfang Jin became interested.
"Oh?? How many crystal cores will you give me?"
Xiaoqi just said that she needs a lot of crystal cores.
If the deal is worthwhile, then it's not impossible to go.
Nie Zhuoying paused, "One hundred... one thousand crystal cores!"
Dongfang Jin held up two fingers, "Level two or above! Elemental."
Nie Zhuoying's eyelids twitched, and she gritted her teeth and nodded: "Deal! I'll give it to you when we get back to the capital!"
Dongfang Jin smiled and looked at Yu Yao and Chi Heng.
Seeing that they didn't seem to mind, he gave Nie Zhuoying an OK sign.
......
Chi Heng thought for a moment and said to Dongfang Jin, "You and Xiao Liu search the surrounding area."
"it is good."
Chi Heng then looked at Nie Zhuoying, "Have Pingjing and Xiaoyi escort you back to the capital."
Nie Zhuoying smiled and nodded, "Thank you. The escort fee will be paid separately, 100 crystal cores."
"Ah."
After explaining everything, Chi Heng looked at Yu Yao.
"Can I come with you to explore the Fog Mountain Base?"
Yu Yao readily nodded.
"Of course."
There are crystal cores to make money, is she crazy not to go?
Luo Mei once said that if it weren't for Lei Lao and Lei Xuanqing mediating between them, it would have been a different story.
Chi Heng and his group will never be able to obtain ownership of Thousand Soul Mountain, which is the base.
If we can really build a home there, we'll definitely have to repay the favors we owe these people.
Hmm... I need to repay the favor and ask for crystal cores.
Is there a conflict?
No conflict!
Yu Yao's smile was captivating, and even someone as composed as Nie Zhuoying was momentarily stunned.
Of course, it only lasted for a moment.
It's just a physical appearance; take it as an excuse and move on...
Chi Heng glanced at him, then said to Jiang Yi, who was preparing breakfast, "You and Ping Jing go to the Kyoto base first, set up a team, and arrange a villa as our temporary base in Kyoto."
I chatted with Lin Fengmu a few days ago, and they learned that the Kyoto base had implemented a system of mercenary groups and free-roaming teams.
In the complex and intertwined world of Kyoto, if you don't want to rely on anyone, it's best to form your own team.
They certainly wouldn't stay in Kyoto permanently, but they also couldn't afford to cut off their connection with the outside world by staying in their own little base.
Occasionally, we still need to check on the movements of other bases through the Kyoto base.
It's good to take on a few tasks to earn some crystal cores when I'm bored.
"no problem."
......
Besides Chi Heng and Yu Yao, Qi Xian was also on the way to the Fog Mountain Base this time.
Qi Xian's Southern Bright Fire is powerful enough to give him a better chance of saving people.
At the same time, if there is anything that needs to be done, he has the Vermilion Bird, and he is fast enough.
Before leaving, Yu Yao distributed the crystal cores and some supernatural talismans belonging to her teammates to Dongfang Jin and the others.
He whispered, "The range of the Spirit Extraction effect is only ten kilometers. After I leave, remember to dig the crystal core yourselves."
"Ahhhhhhh!" Luo Mei screamed, her face contorted in pain, full of resistance.
Seeing this, Yu Yao smiled sweetly: "Be mindful of the distance between us~"
"Ah~"
Luo Mei looked distressed, on the verge of tears.
......
Wushan Base is located in Wushan County, the northernmost and highest-altitude area of Beijing.
It is a private base, but it is quite large.
After all, it accommodated survivors from almost half of Jingbei City, making it at least three times the size of the Lincheng Safe Zone.
The three rode on the Vermilion Bird and hid behind the clouds.
There was no need for the Sky-Covering Stone; Chi Heng's chaotic spiritual power was enough to conceal the presence of the three people and one beast.
They looked down at the base, which was beginning to take shape.
They began to discuss countermeasures.
Yu Yao began by saying, "The base is divided into inner and outer cities based on whether or not a person possesses superpowers. The closer to the center, the higher the level of the superpowered individuals. Judging from the surface levels, the inner city has at least 30 level three superpowered individuals, and countless level two individuals."
Yu Yao distinguishes the approximate levels of the superpowered individuals on the map by comparing the size of other people's light spots with her own.
While it's true that the higher the level, the larger the light spot, there are prerequisites.
For example, Yu Yao is level 30, which corresponds to a level 3 early-stage superhuman.
In that map, those with a smaller dot of light than her must be level two or level one ability users.
Conversely, it starts at level three, with higher levels having larger light spots.
Currently, her map shows about thirty other ability users whose points of light are much larger than hers.
That means there are at least 30 level 3 ability users.
Qi Xian's eyes widened.
"30???"
"Hmm, could it be related to He An again?"
Besides He'an, Yu Yao couldn't think of any other force that could cultivate so many level-three ability users so quickly.
Qi Xian said, "If this place is really related to He'an, then there's a high chance that Old Lei will really be arrested by them."
Yu Yao: "Mm."
Chi Heng narrowed his dark eyes and asked, "Have you found the cell?"
Yu Yao gently shook her head, "The structures of the houses in the inner city are all similar, so it's impossible to figure out the specific function of each room."
Qi Xian said, "It seems we still need to go inside the base and explore."
"Ah."
