Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 34: Something is Strange Here
"Ha! Villa No. 9, I've only heard of it but never seen it. Now that the world has come to an end, I finally have the chance to come and visit..."
Shen Jin knew that there were nearly 1,000 survivors inside. They had studied the route before setting out. They would pass by four gathering places of survivors along the way. This was one of them. "We have been here for a while. There must be extraordinary people... I just don't know how many there are!"
The military satellite signal equipment of Tianluodiwang can distinguish zombies and humans from images, but it cannot distinguish the level of zombies and whether humans are extraordinary people. Satellites can only identify objects and people by their appearance. Yang Ao showed a kind smile, but the aura of the second in command of the base remained undiminished. Managing so many extraordinary people under him, Yang Ao is no longer the rich second generation who drove an RV around to have sex. He is a fighter, a team leader, and a decision maker. This is his current identity. A man of culture is naturally elegant, and the same applies to the current Yang Ao. Why did those high-ranking officials before the end of the world look so domineering and imposing?
It's because he sits in that position, has power in his hands, people under him, and output under him. Generally, after he retreats, these auras will quickly fade away. Without the bonus of that position, he will quickly return to being an ordinary person, but an ordinary person with insight.
If you can recognize your own position, you can also be a broad-minded...senior or teacher.
Yang Ao is now a high-ranking official before the end of the world , with power in his hands, people under him, and output.
In fact, his aura is even stronger because it comes from his own strength, which makes him still a hero even if he leaves this position.
However, in Home No. 1, Yang Ao rarely showed it. He was a smart man and would never steal the limelight from Shen Jin...
Yang Ao smiled, took a few steps forward, gathered his energy, and shouted, "Girls and boys, come out and receive the guests!!!"
Everyone: (°ー°〃)
People in Villa No. 9: Σ(°△ °|||)︴
Shen Jin said with a look of annoyance: "You are causing comrades to misunderstand you. You need to discuss this with Li Zhexue!"
Li Zhe took a pickaxe and demolished the gate of Villa No. 9. "Huh? Why is your gate gone? This is terrible! Someone come quickly!"
The people in Villa No. 9 quickly gathered and ran out, led by three people, two men and one woman.
"What the hell? Where are we?" a fat man wearing only underwear said in shock.
The woman saw so many people outside, all fully equipped and staring at them, and got goose bumps all over her body. "Second brother... forget about the door for now, these people look like government officials!"
Xirong squinted his eyes and looked at the more than 400 people opposite. The terrifying energy fluctuations made him feel frightened. This was definitely an army composed entirely of extraordinary people!
Fortunately, these people had no hostility towards them, otherwise the gazes of these 400 people would force him to unlock the genetic lock.
However, since there was no hostility, Xi Rong had an idea in mind. He said loudly: "Are you from...Tianluodiwang No. 1 Home Base?"
Shen Jin was not interested in this small situation. He was lying on the upper half of the "chariot" in the middle of the team, thinking about the next development route...
Are they going to dig for rare minerals on the seabed? Or are they building infrastructure?
Yang Ao said: "You have a good eye. Are you the...boss here?"
Xi Rong smiled and said, "Well, I'm not the boss. I just make a living with my brothers and sisters. There are so many poor ordinary people around, so we took them in. Anyway, there is a big place here, so we live together and help each other. Are you guys here to clear out the zombies?"
"Well... sort of. The terrain here is good, but it's a pity that the gate is gone!"
The woman immediately became dissatisfied. "It was clearly still there this morning. The zombies didn't come despite the huge door. You must have taken it away!"
Xirong said coldly: "Shut up, the brothers said the door is gone, it just disappeared!"
The woman sneered, "Brother Rong, why are you letting them do what they want? Aren't they just a bunch of ordinary soldiers wearing equipment? How can they all be extraordinary people? I can control their life and death by myself..."
The woman was a first-level extraordinary person, and her sense of supernatural powers was not strong, so it was difficult for her to tell whether the person in front of her was an ordinary person or a extraordinary person. However, her experience told her that extraordinary people were extremely rare and there were very few of them. Even the government could not have such a large number of extraordinary people. At most, there were only a few extraordinary people with ordinary soldiers wearing standard equipment. Her supernatural power was just good at group killing.
“Bang!”
Xirong slapped the woman's right face, causing it to swell. The fat man immediately said, "Brother Rong, what are you doing?!"
“Bang!”
The fat man’s right face was swollen higher than the woman’s.
Two people: (⊙﹏⊙)
Xi Rong smiled and said, "Excuse me, my two brothers are not well-educated and speak without thinking. I don't know that you are all extraordinary people. I will definitely educate them well in the future..."
More than 400 people! All of them extraordinary people?
The two people who were beaten broke out in cold sweats. The woman tried her best to avoid losing control of her bladder...
The fat man then realized that these two slaps saved their lives...
Yang Ao watched Xi Rong decisively educate the two of them, but he did not delve into it. They could not stay here for long. Their main purpose was to take a look at the situation of the settlement here and see whether they should merge it into Home No. 1. 1,000 people were worth 10 [World Currencies], so Shen Jin still cared about it.
However, it is still based on the principle of voluntariness.
"Okay, take us in and take a look around and see what's going on here!"
Xirong smiled and said, "Okay, sir, we'll take you around. Our place is pretty good. You can catch a lot of fish in the river, and..."
Everyone followed him in, and Yang Ao took the lead and walked around briefly. Xi Rong was always enthusiastic and polite as he introduced the situation here to Yang Ao, as well as how they resisted the zombies and what good experiences they had. He even took out two bottles of Wuliangye from his collection and wanted to invite Yang Ao to drink. Yang Ao refused the invitation and asked them to gather all the survivors in Villa No. 9. The three of them looked at each other secretly, the woman and the fat man showed imperceptible inquiring eyes, and Xi Rong shook his head slightly.
Yang Ao didn't notice their little movements, and shouted to everyone: "Fellow countrymen, we are from the Tianluodiwang No. 1 Home Base. We are going out today to complete some tasks and will probably return tomorrow. Is there anyone who wants to go back to No. 1 Home with us? This is the official settlement~! There is water, electricity, and internet~!"
Yang Ao feels that the environment here is good, but it is still far inferior to Home No. 1. He thinks most people would be willing to follow him if he said so.
But… many people who came out of the room looked at him blankly, and no one spoke. Only a little girl about 8 years old wanted to say something, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes, "Pah!"
Her father slapped her and pulled her back.
Yang Ao frowned. No one responded. It was a bit strange...
