Chapter 201 Going to Shanghai
After hearing Gu Tianqi's account of the Shanghai base, the group fell silent.
Shen Zechuan expressed his bewilderment: "Is this a newspaper or a revenge plot? The murderer has still not been caught?"
Gu Tianqi shook his head: "We didn't catch them. They acted cleanly and efficiently, leaving no trace. In addition, Shanghai has been in chaos for a long time, so there's no way to investigate now."
"He must be a high-level ability user, at least level 5 or above, to kill so many people without leaving a trace," Yan Fei concluded after listening for a while, then asked, "By the way, what are the plans for this rescue between the capital base and us?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Tianqi's expression turned serious: "Your father and I have similar ideas. We cannot lose the Shanghai base. Since marine life can now attack land, it will do so in the future. Therefore, we need a forward outpost to keep a close eye on the situation along the coast and the situation in the ocean."
Following this rescue, ordinary survivors will be transferred to other bases closer to the interior, while other ability users will be encouraged to stay. All military forces at the Shanghai base, as well as a portion of high-level ability users from the capital and our side, will remain to guard the Shanghai base.
Yan Fei nodded: "Okay, then we'll go together this time. What do you guys think?"
Shen Zechuan nodded in agreement, having no objection.
Zhou Yang was also quite interested in seeing the mutated marine creatures, so he had no objections either.
"I knew you guys were going. Good, it'll be good for you to get some experience. But you need to be careful not to push yourselves as hard as you used to when you did missions. Prioritize your own safety."
Hearing that Yan Fei and the others were going, Gu Tianqi was not surprised, but he was also a little worried. After all, the situation of marine life was currently unknown, so he couldn't help but give them a few more instructions.
Shen Zechuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Gu. We're in a terrible situation right now, we can't let our wives be widows. Right, Yan Fei?"
As she spoke, she grabbed Zhou Yang's hand and wouldn't let go.
Zhou Yang couldn't bear to look at him like that, and she had to hold back her hand.
Yan Fei, who was called out, couldn't help but laugh when he thought of Lu Xingye's puffed-up cheeks and nodded in agreement.
Sitting opposite them, Gu Tianqi felt an itch to look at the two people who reeked of sourness and stench. He raised his hand to shoo them away: "Go away, go away! Stop showing off your love here. If you want to talk, go home!"
Seeing that they had annoyed Gu Tianqi, Yan Fei and Shen Zechuan restrained themselves a little.
Having learned more about the situation, the three of them confirmed the exact departure time with Gu Tianqi and then prepared to say goodbye and leave.
However, just before reaching the door, Zhou Yang suddenly remembered that he had stored over 100,000 zombie rat crystal cores in his spatial storage but had nowhere to use them. Thinking that the military was probably still short of low-level crystal cores, he quickly turned back to Gu Tianqi:
"Uncle Gu, is the army still short of level two or three crystal cores? We have over a hundred thousand low-level crystal cores here that are not very useful, and quite a few of them have attributes. Do you want them?"
Gu Tianqi's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this: "Yes, we need them! We're desperate for them! We'll take as many as you have! But where did you get so many crystal cores?"
"Hehe, the day before we got to the hottest weather, we went to the next city and ran into a nest of over 100,000 zombie rats, so we wiped them out. The only problem is that the zombie rats' cores are a little smaller than zombie rats', so their energy is also a little less..."
Gu Tianqi waved his hand: "It's alright, it's alright, it's not a big problem. With this batch of crystal cores, I'll have several more level 3 peak or even level 4 superpowered warriors under my command."
"Okay, how can I hand it over to you? This place probably won't be big enough." Zhou Yang looked around; this small office definitely wouldn't be able to accommodate it.
"Wait a minute, I'll have someone call a space ability user over." After saying that, Gu Tianqi told his guards to go find a space ability user.
Not long after, the guard returned with a soldier, who was an old acquaintance of Zhou Yang's from the snow.
The two of them, one releasing and the other collecting, finished loading over 100,000 crystal cores in just over ten minutes.
After instructing the space-age ability users to hand over the crystal cores to the person in charge of distributing them, Gu Tianqi asked Zhou Yang and the other two, "With so many crystal cores, what do you plan to exchange them for? Or points?"
"If you have extra level 5 crystal cores, that would be best. If not, then just use points."
Gu Tianqi didn't even hesitate: "Then you can still take the points. Even if I had level 5 crystal cores, I wouldn't have any extra. I have so many subordinates, and so far only one has reached level 5! You already have two level 5s, and you still want level 5 crystal cores from me. Come on, come on, hurry up and leave! I'll have someone transfer the points to your accounts later!"
Zhou Yang and the other two: ...
The three of them were dismissed by Gu Tian using points.
However, they were just asking casually, and they knew that the army was desperately short of high-level crystal cores, so they wouldn't have any extra for them.
After returning, the three of them told the others about the Shanghai base.
They also mentioned their decision to go to the Shanghai base together for rescue operations.
Lu Xingye and the others all expressed no objection and even vied to go, but it was impossible for everyone to go.
After all, ordinary people like Yu Jing and Uncle Li have to stay in the base, so there needs to be at least two people left to help look after the base.
Therefore, the final list only included Zhou Yang, Shen Zechuan, Yan Fei, Lu Xingye, Lu Yanwen, and Xu Qingtang, plus Wandou.
Xu Zhiyi and Chai Jin stayed at the base, and even Da Huang's family was kept there by Zhou Yang.
Although Yu Jing and her elders were very worried about the trip and didn't really want them to go, they were reluctant to let them go.
But considering that this is the apocalypse, and these children are all outstanding, if they all stay in the base, then who knows when this apocalypse will end. So in the end, they didn't stop them. They could only try to make a lot of food for the group and let Zhou Yang put it in his space.
The departure time is 4 a.m. the day after tomorrow.
The temperature outside has dropped below 50 degrees Celsius, and it looks like it will soon return to normal.
Moreover, it was unknown how long they would be gone this time, so to avoid the temperature dropping too quickly, Zhou Yang thought of having everyone move back to the 18th floor in advance.
It won't get too hot if you install a solar generator and an air conditioner.
The others thought it was a good idea too.
That night, Zhou Yang and the others went back to the 18th floor and put the power generation equipment and air conditioner back in place, as well as putting the furniture and appliances back in their original positions.
However, due to time constraints, they only had time to complete the two apartments on the 18th floor. But since they weren't there, it would be enough for Yu Jing and a few others to live in.
In addition, Zhou Yang left a lot of drinking water and daily necessities in the living room, and also put a lot of food in the refrigerator and freezer. He even put some autumn clothes in the wardrobe in advance.
