NOVEL NEXT Chapter 26
Important Note: Spiritualpower/ability will be changed to Psychic power/ability.
Since Wen Qingling ability has something to do with mind control, psychic just sound better.
The cars were queuing up, waiting to enter the base.
Wen Qingling looked at the high fence. The wall was about 8 meters high, enclosing the entire base. It looked solid and safe.
The Ling City base is much larger than his Civilized Base because not only the survivors of Ling City but many survivors who fled from other provinces also gathered here.
The Ling City Base is located in Lan Province, and it is already a large survivor base. Once captured, the casualties will be immeasurable.
When his psychic power was released, the entire Ling City Base was shrouded in his psychic power. Countless noisy voices were ringing in his brain, and many faces flashed through his mind quickly. At last, the faces of two women were captured.
Found them.
“Which esteemed friend is visiting us? Shouldn’t you have asked the host before using your psychic power to explore?“
A man’s voice suddenly appeared throughout the entire Ling City Base. The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent, and then came the animated discussions.
“A person with psychic ability has appeared?!”
“Psychic ability users are too rare. Isn’t the deputy leader of our base a powerful psychic ability user?“
“This is the second psychic ability user?!“
“Did they plan to join our base? In this way, the strength of our base will be stronger!“
“The strength of our base is already very strong, and with another psychic ability user joining us, it’s definitely a tiger that has grown wings. Are we still afraid of that stupid zombie tide?!”
“…..”
“Friend, welcome to Ling City Base.” The man’s voice appeared again.
Wen Qingling looked at the poles standing on both sides of the entrance. The loudspeakers above were buzzing with sound, and there was also the sizzling sound of electricity, which was very grating on the ear.
Wen Qingling: “……“
Wen Qingling: “Can’t the Ling City Base even buy better speakers? They’re too poor.”
Xiao Hen: “…..”
Ji Rong: “…..”
They couldn’t drive in, so they could only park on the side of the road and walk in.
Wen Qingling was stopped by the guards, “Show your base card.”
Wen Qingling had never been to the Ling City Base and didn’t know there was such a rule.
Wen Qingling: “Don’t have.”
Gate guard: “First time?”
Wen Qingling: “Yes.”
The guard at the gate said: “Go there to register, pay the crystal nuclei, and apply for the base card to facilitate entry and exit in the future.”
Wen Qingling: “I won’t come again in the future, only once.”
The guards at the gate looked at him strangely and became impatient, “You have to pay 10 ordinary crystal nuclei for one time. It’s fine if you don’t want to register the base card, but the next time you enter the base you will have to pay another 10 crystal nuclei. “
It’s too expensive to need 10 ordinary crystal nuclei.
The loudspeakers were still persistent, “Friend, welcome to Ling City Base. Our base’s comprehensive strength is among the best in the entire Lan Province. When you come here, you will come to a warm family, and you will not regret…“
Wen Qingling: “I want to enter a warm family, and you want to charge me an entrance fee?“
Gatekeeper: “???“
Wen Qingling pointed at the chattering loudspeaker, “Did you hear it say friend? Can you exempt the 10 crystal nuclei?”
The gate guard glanced at the loudspeaker on the telephone pole and said, “If you can turn into a loudspeaker, you will be exempted from it.”
Wen Qingling: “…..”
Ji Rong laughed until his stomach hurt.
“He can’t turn into a loudspeaker. I’ll give you the crystal nuclei.” Xiao Hen couldn’t help laughing. He threw 10 ordinary crystal nuclei at the guards and pushed Wen Qingling forward.
Wen Qingling squinted at him, “If you give it voluntarily, I won’t give it back to you.”
Xiao Hen: “You earn so many crystal nuclei every day, and you can’t spare 10 ordinary crystal nuclei?”
Wen Qingling: “I am poor and have no crystal nucleus.”
Xiao Hen: “No one in the entire Lan Province is richer than you.”
Wen Qingling is really poor. He has to rely on crystal nuclei to improve his strength. His body is like a black hole. So many crystal nuclei are used up, but it’s still very difficult to advance a rank. How can he have extra crystal nuclei and be rich?
After the apocalypse, Wen Qingling has never seen so many people. It is crowded, noisy, and all kinds of emotions are flying around.
“It’s the big brother who saved me!”
Wen Qingling hadn’t gone very far when the little boy who rushed out hugged his leg.
Wen Qingling looked down at him. The little boy smiled sweetly at him.
The woman chased her son over, saw Wen Qingling and two familiar faces, and smiled brightly, “Have you also moved into the Ling City Base? If I may say, it’s safer to come to the big base. It’s too dangerous outside now, so it’s the right choice to come here.”
The woman: “Is your clinic also moving to the Ling City Base?”
Wen Qingling: “No.”
The woman tried her best to promote the base: “Our base is very good. Moving the clinic here is definitely better than your business in South City. Are you sure you don’t want to consider it? If you need a store, I can help you.“
Wen Qingling glanced around: “Noisy, dirty, messy, poor, not moving.”
Wen Qingling lifted his steps and left, without the slightest warmth of seeing an acquaintance.
Xiao Hen: “…..”
Ji Rong: “…..”
Hold your conscience and say it again, are you really not moving for this reason?
Wen Qingling identified the direction and walked forward.
At the human base, he wanted to appear as a normal human, so he chose to walk normally.
The Mausoleum City base is really messy. In order for more people to have a house to live in, houses or buildings that can accommodate a lot of people can be built everywhere. Living waste, garbage, and stinky water are everywhere, reeking to high heaven.
Wen Qingling walked for a long time, making seven or eight turns inside the messy base, and then turned into a dark and damp old building in front of a cramped alleyway.
In front of the old building, less than ten steps ahead, was a pile of garbage, with mutant insects buzzing around.
The old building is an old-fashioned staircase house. The ground floor and the basement floor are garages, now filled with people, quarreling, cursing, crying, and moaning. The noise made Wen Qingling’s head buzz.
A woman with disheveled hair and an emaciated, haggard face came out of the garage. She looked young, but the apocalypse had aged her to the extreme. She was holding a pitted metal basin with a small handful of wild greens in it.
When Wen Qingling suddenly appeared in front of her, the woman was startled and opened her mouth to curse, “Are you sick? What do you want, getting so close to me all of a sudden? You have to pay crystal nuclei to look at me!“
Wen Qingling grabbed the woman’s neck and said, “Where is the thing?”
The woman widened her eyes in horror, “W-what?”
Xiao Hen was just about to stop him when Wen Qingling threw the woman away and turned to leave.
He saw the woman’s memory. The blood anemone in the woman’s hand had been taken away by Fang Zhen.
Wen Qingling could only find the other woman.
Xiao Hen recognized this woman. She was Fang Zhen’s wife. Fang Zhen also had a younger sister. He didn’t expect Wen Qingling to come here in person to find them.
Fang Zhen’s blood test results have not come out yet, and it is still unknown whether he has antibodies, so Fang Zhen’s family cannot be touched for the time being.
Xiao Hen quickly followed Wen Qingling, “Are you looking for Fang Zhen’s family? Why?“
Wen Qingling quickened her pace, “They took my things.”
Xiao Hen: “What is it?”
Wen Qingling: “Something they shouldn’t touch.”
Xiao Hen suddenly thought of a possibility—Blood Anemone!
Shit! They might have been tricked!
Ji Rong obviously thought of this too, “How many did they take?”
Wen Qingling: “Three plants.”
Wen Qingling immediately added, “Don’t think about stealing the blood anemone. You can’t control it even if you take it away.”
