Yun Xiaoxiao was feeling excited when Little Di's voice suddenly rang out.
[Congratulations, host! You've been awarded a random ability!]
[Strength Ability!]
Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes instantly lit up!
This was exactly what she needed!
Due to her age and physique, strength had always been her weakness.
But with the Strength Ability, things would be different now.
She immediately felt her body filled with energy, eager to lift something.
But in the end, she abandoned the idea.
Otherwise, she'd look like those muscle-bound men showing off, making people cringe so hard they'd want to crawl into a hole.
Everyone returned to the car, and they drove towards the base together.
They took turns driving along the way, never stopping once.
Just as dawn broke, they finally arrived at the entrance of the base.
When Ci Wan and the others saw the hundred-meter-high walls and the towering, majestic city gates, a flash of shock passed through their eyes.
The sleepiness in their eyes instantly vanished.
What kind of base had they come to?!
Even the government-built Xiangcheng Base wasn't this impressive.
Moreover, the walls and gates looked new, clearly having been built recently.
They secretly guessed that this must be a large base.
If it didn't have hundreds of thousands of survivors inside, it must at least have tens of thousands.
Until they saw the tiny number of people inside, they were so surprised they didn't know what expression to make.
After giving them a tour of the base, exchanging their point cards, and arranging accommodation, Yun Xiaoxiao and her group finally went to rest.
This sleep lasted until the afternoon for most of them.
Of course, except for Yun Xiaoxiao.
She had slept enough in her space, while only about an hour had passed in the outside world.
She drove her car to the hospital to find Zhong Mingsheng and his team.
She handed over the evolution serum she got from Ci Wan, as well as her own, to Zhong Mingsheng and his colleagues.
"Grandpa Zhong, I'd like to ask you to examine these two bottles of liquid and see if there are any differences in their composition."
The reason she wanted Zhong Mingsheng's team to look at them was that she had tried drinking half a bottle herself.
The taste was similar to the evolution serum she had drunk in her previous life, but there was something slightly off about it.
As for what exactly, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
After leaving the hospital, she went with Lu Chen to a tall building on the first street.
She intended to use this building as an office building.
For instance, exchanging point cards, future resident registration, and all sorts of base-related matters could be handled here.
They went to a room on the top floor, where Yun Xiaoxiao brought out all kinds of communication equipment from her space.
"Are you ready? What do you want to say?" Lu Chen calmly looked at Yun Xiaoxiao.
"Mm-hmm." Yun Xiaoxiao nodded.
She wrote down everything she had planned to say.
Of course, many characters she couldn't write, so she used pinyin instead.
She could recognize the characters, but writing them...
Well, let's not dwell on that.
"It's done." Yun Xiaoxiao handed the written note to Lu Chen.
"Big brother, you should be the one to speak."
"Me?"
"Yes, it'll be more convincing if you say it."
If people heard a child's voice saying, "We have evolution serum that can enhance abilities," what would they think?
Their first reaction would definitely be that it's just a child playing around.
How could they possibly travel thousands of miles, risking danger, to exchange zombie cores for evolution serum?
Yun Xiaoxiao was well aware of this point.
So, this announcement couldn't come from her; it had to be from Lu Chen.
His calm and steady voice would be more persuasive.
Seeing Yun Xiaoxiao's trusting expression, Lu Chen nodded.
"Alright."
He looked down at the note.
Then, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"When you have time, practice your handwriting."
Yun Xiaoxiao: !!
Lu Chen silently read the note for a while before turning on the equipment and beginning to make the announcement.
Yun Xiaoxiao also adjusted the small radio nearby, making sure she could hear Lu Chen's voice before feeling at ease.
Lu Chen's voice was recorded and set to play on a loop.
Yun Xiaoxiao's lips curled into a smile.
Done!
Now, they just had to wait for the zombie cores to be delivered.
At the same time, anywhere with a radio received this notification almost immediately.
Some people were skeptical.
"There's something inside zombie heads? How come I didn't know that?"
"I think this is fake. Enhancing abilities? Do they think they're making a movie?"
"Evolution serum? What's that supposed to be?"
"I think this is clearly a trap. They're saying all these nice things just to lure people in and steal their supplies."
"Anyone who believes such an obvious lie is a big fool."
Others were half-believing, half-doubting.
"So that's what those things in zombie heads are called. Can they really be exchanged for this so-called evolution serum?"
"If only I had known earlier, I would have kept them. I thought they were useless and threw them all away. My heart aches!"
"I kind of want to go, but I've never heard of this Yun City Base before. Suddenly popping up like this, could there be some catch?"
"It's a bit far, in the southwest. Too dangerous. If it were closer, I'd go take a look."
The biggest reaction to this news came from Yangcheng Base and the few surrounding city bases that had bought their evolution serum.
Surrounding bases:
"Listen quickly! That Yun City Base also says they have evolution serum, and it only costs fifty zombie cores of the same level to buy!"
"Not sure if it's true or false. Should we send someone to check it out? If their evolution serum's effect is similar to Yangcheng Base's, we could exchange the same number of cores for more evolution serum!"
"I think it's a scam. You get what you pay for. I say we shouldn't believe it and just keep buying from Yangcheng Base. After all, we've been working with them for so long."
Yangcheng Base.
A man guarding the radio station yawned boredly, tuning through channels and listening to the messages.
He was specifically responsible for listening to information, then organizing the useful bits and reporting them to the base leader.
"It's the same stuff every day, over and over. So boring to listen to."
He yawned continuously, tears forming at the corners of his eyes from the effort.
Suddenly, a cold male voice came through the radio.
Hearing the content, he immediately sat up straight.
What? Evolution serum?!
Someone competing with their business?
This couldn't be allowed. He had to report this immediately!
He hurriedly stood up and ran out of the communications room, heading towards the base leader's house.
"It's terrible, Base Leader!"
He had just arrived at the base leader's house when he encountered an old man walking out.
The old man was probably in his fifties and was leaning on a cane.
His somewhat wrinkled face bore a trace of displeasure.
"What's all this panic about!"
He scolded.
The man was instantly cowed, not daring to breathe loudly.
"What do you want with me?"
Zheng Qishan glanced coldly at the man.
The man finally remembered his urgent matter and quickly took a deep breath before speaking,
"Base Leader, there's a Yun City Base also selling evolution serum, and... they're only charging fifty cores."
