They passed by two medium-sized bases, but the other side politely rejected them, hoping that they would seek refuge in a larger base.
Indeed, it was nearing the official establishment of the Yuntian Alliance, and the leaders and backbones of each base were basically at Level 6, with the weakest being at Level 5. Level 4 abilities could only be considered as mid-tier, and Level 2 and 3 were not even worth mentioning. Only three-tenths of their group were Metahumans, and the highest level was only Level 4, and most of them were injured. The rest were ordinary people, and they did not have sufficient resources. Accepting them would definitely lower the average level of the base, so the bases were naturally unwilling to accept them.
On the tenth day, they finally arrived at a relatively large base called Hope Base. Just by looking at its size, it could not be compared to Yuntian Base, Base No.1, and Fuxing Base, but it was indeed a first-rate base.
But they were once again rejected.
A person in charge came out, and it was obvious that he was already used to this kind of thing. He casually said, "Metahumans can enter. Ordinary people will have to pay ten basic crystal cores or three Level 1 crystal cores to enter. "
Old Zhu frowned and looked at the leader. They had seventy ordinary people, and they did not have that many crystal cores. More importantly, they did not have much nutrition and drinking water left, and they did not know how long it would take to find the next base.
The leader had been recuperating for the past few days. Before the apocalypse, he was just an ordinary man who rarely left Yulin City, and he did not know what to do in such a situation.
At this time, Zhang Zhiyin walked out and asked the person in charge, "Do you collect food?"
Previously, he happened to be in the market for a clearance sale, and the flour was 50% off. It was five dollars for a stack of ninety-nine bags, so he took the opportunity to buy a stack, and even spent five dollars to buy a storage bag specifically to store the flour.
The biggest difference between the value of this Tomorrow World and the game was the various spatial items. For example, in the game, every player would have a backpack to store items. Be it storage rings, storage bracelets, or storage bags, they were all just gimmicks, and the only purpose of buying them was to expand the player's backpack, so the price was not too high.
However, in the real Tomorrow World, there were very few Space Ability Users who had their own storage space, and there were even fewer advanced Space Ability Users who were able to create their own Space Items. These Space Items were also very useful in daily life, and as a result, the value of Space Items was very high. Currently, only the upper echelons of the major bases had their own Space Items.
The person in charge was stunned when he heard that. He scanned the five carriages of Zhang Zhiyin's group and asked doubtfully, "How much food can you guys take out?"
The flour in the game was five catties a bag, but ninety-nine bags added up to nearly five hundred catties.
Zhang Zhiyin took out a storage bag specially used to store flour and placed it in her hand: "Not much, just 500 catties."
The person in charge did not care about what Zhang Zhiyin said. Instead, he stared at the small bag in Zhang Zhiyin's hand like an eagle. He looked up at Zhang Zhiyin for the first time and asked softly, "An interspatial bag?"
"En." Zhang Zhiyin nodded. "The interspatial bag and the rations are all things he left for me. Nothing else. " He understood the principle of treasuring a jade ring one in trouble. Although he did not think that the interspatial bag and the rations inside were worth much, it might cause trouble if they were targeted by others. It was better to make it clear in advance that he only had one share, and it would be better if he handed it over.
The person in charge did not care who 'he' Zhang Zhiyin was talking about. "Hand over the rations and this interspatial bag to us, and all of you can enter." When he said that, his tone was much better.
Zhang Zhiyin: "Sure."
However, a series of shouts of 'Captain' came from behind. Regardless of the value of the interspatial bag and the rations, they were things' he 'left for Captain!
Zhang Zhiyin calmly waved his hand at the people behind him without any expression. Everyone immediately went silent, but they still looked at Zhang Zhiyin with helpless, pained, and wronged gazes. Zhang Zhiyin had already turned around, and once again missed the deep meaning in everyone's gazes.
He still felt that the lie he made up was pretty good. No matter how hard it was to explain, he could let 'that person' take the blame.
The group smoothly entered the base. Ordinary people were assigned to work after going through a medical examination. Ability users were also divided into various teams to take on guard, patrol, and other tasks after their abilities were appraised.
The appraisal results showed that the Captain had damaged the foundation of his ability in the previous battle. Not only did his ability drop from Rank 5 to Rank 4, but there was also no hope for him to level up. In other words, he could only stay at Rank 4 for the rest of his life. There was no problem at the moment, but Zhang Zhiyin knew that as the story progressed, people's abilities would generally rise to Rank 5 and above, and battles between Rank X and Rank X would occur at every turn. In fact, in the current game's plot, the next leader of the Yuntian Alliance, Yun Chu, was currently trying to break through Rank 10, and it was very likely that he would be the first normal person to break through Rank 10. There was already an abnormal person, and that was Y. In the later stages, the Captain might only be like an ordinary person, doing some ordinary and trivial work, and would no longer be able to stand at the frontlines to protect everyone like before.
However, the Captain himself was still quite philosophical.
On the second day he arrived, he chatted with Zhang Zhiyin. The man who was no longer young squinted his eyes at the sky and said in a very low voice, "I feel that we should adapt to this world day by day, and get better day by day. Right now, I just want to live well and help them see this world become stable and beautiful again. "
At this time, Zhang Zhiyin's ability level had already reached above Rank 4, which was considered not bad in Hope Base. Therefore, she was grouped with Yuan Yulin, Da Dao, Ah Mu, Xiao Jin, Ah Kong, Li Zhun, and Old Zhu into a seven-man team. They were assigned to Combat Team Four, with Zhang Zhiyin as the team leader.
Originally, Combat Team Four had two teams. One team was personally led by Team Four, and it was mostly made up of old people in Hope Base. The other team was also made up of ability users who had recently defected to Hope Base. The team leader was a Rank 4 ability user called You Kun, and the team members were mostly Rank 3 or Rank 4 ability users. Their overall strength was a level higher than Zhang Zhiyin's team, and they could even be considered an outstanding team in the entire Hope Base.
"Team Four, I always feel that You Kun doesn't seem like a good person. He seems to be inexplicably hostile towards us." Xiao Jin, who was also a mental ability user, was especially sensitive towards Team Two's team leader, You Kun. Team Four's team leader had just held a meet-and-greet meeting for the entire team, introducing each other and assigning tasks for the near future. After they came out, Xiao Jin was constantly complaining.
"But he's in our team now." Zhang Zhiyin said, then thought of Li Shuifeng and added, "But it's never wrong to be careful."
The next day, the two teams were assigned to patrol together and clear out the zombies around the base. Team Two immediately used their actions to prove that Xiao Jin wasn't being overly paranoid.
When they were attacking the zombies, they seemed to be very unorganized. Along the way, the team members were chatting and laughing with each other, and their speed of advancing and killing zombies was only half of Zhang Zhiyin's team. But when the two teams went back to hand in their mission and collect the cores, You Kun lazily crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, casually saying, "We should get seven, after all … it's obvious that we're much stronger than them. If they go out with us, they'll just be holding us back." He shrugged, as if giving Zhang Zhiyin's team three cores was a favor.
Da Dao immediately exploded and wanted to jump out to argue with them, but he was stopped by Zhang Zhiyin.
"I don't agree." He said, his face still expressionless. Zhang Zhiyin discovered that ever since she started imitating Yin Nian, she had learned the ability to not show her emotions on her face without a teacher.
It wasn't the first time the person in charge of recording and distributing the cores had encountered such a situation. He furrowed his brows and waved his hand in annoyance. "Go find your team leader. Bring your team leader's signature and then come find me to collect the cores!"
You Kun curled his lips and stood up indifferently before swaggering off. His team members also followed suit and left with a frivolous attitude. The last bald-headed fire ability user deliberately turned around and whistled at Zhang Zhiyin and the others with contempt in his eyes.
The face of Old Zhu, who had always been mature and steady, darkened.
Zhang Zhiyin paused for a moment, then followed.
