Chapter 163 - 162: Base Market
Chapter 163: Chapter 162: Base MarketIf they don’t have the strength to rival other people with superpowers, then the base will become more chaotic in the future.
The base could be said to be generous already by only delaying the news for a month.
If they’re greedy, they could have delayed it for as long as they wanted. But if that happened, then they would just be lowering the ability of the base as a whole.
If the ability users in the base doesn’t improve, then the burden of the soldiers in the base will just become heavier.
The ability users in the base also needed to get stronger so that they could do more things.
But the soldiers needed to get stronger too to act as a deterrent to those with superpowers.
There would surely be some of those who would become arrogant or would be restless because they got abilities and became powerful.
So, announcing it a month later was just right for the base.
Luciel didn’t think about it further and just continued looking at the stalls and the things they were selling.
In the end, he didn’t buy anything aside from the zombie crystals.
The things they were selling were things that he already had or things that he wasn’t interested in, so he didn’t buy anything aside from the zombie crystals.
Even though he didn’t buy anything, he could say that the market was very peaceful.
He didn’t see anyone trying to steal other people’s things or snatching things from the stalls.
Well, it’s probably because some soldiers are patrolling from time to time, and one of the base stores was also nearby.
One of the base stores where people could exchange their points for something was just nearby.
So, no one wanted to cause trouble in the area where they could easily see soldiers around.
The base stores were really a place where people could exchange a lot of things for the points that they earned.
Luciel looked at the base stores and saw that they had sugar, salt, rice, water, and a lot more things.
He also saw that the stores were distributing 1 liter of water for everyone.
The base was actually giving 1 liter of water to everyone per day. They were given a claim stub, and they can use it to claim 1 liter of water every day.
They haven’t received such things from the base because they didn’t apply for them.
If they wanted to, they could also receive their share because as long as they were living in the base, they were eligible to receive it.
But they didn’t need it, so they didn’t apply for it.
He asked Treyton about it and knew that they were actually written in the booklet they had received when they were entering the base.
Apparently, some of the base rules and some of the benefits of staying in the base were written on it.
He just didn’t pay attention to the booklet, so he hadn’t known that the base actually had such benefits.
"Have you guys had your fun?" Luciel asked the kids when they saw them waiting at the end of the market.
"Yes, we had our fun, but this market is different from the markets before," Ashlee replied.
"Yes, they don’t sell a lot of food here," Sophie added.
"Of course, they don’t. I already told you that if they have food, then they will store it for themselves," Jane said.
Luciel also agrees with what Jane said, even if some people have food, they won’t sell it to others because they weren’t sure if they would still have more in the future.
It’s also hard for them to look for food if there’s something unexpected happening.
Even those who have food and water were also exchanging them for food.
For example, he had seen a person with water superpowers exchange water for canned goods from the military store.
He also saw someone with plant superpowers exchange some vegetables with rice and other things.
So, it was obvious that people nowadays put more importance on food and water than before.
"Then, did you buy anything?" Luciel asked again.
"No, we didn’t buy anything. Dad said that we already have better ones, so we didn’t buy anything," Ashlee answered.
"I see. Then do you want to go somewhere else?"
"No," Ashlee said.
The other kids also didn’t say anything, which means that they really weren’t interested in going to other places anymore.
"Ok, then let’s just go back to the villa," Luciel said.
He’s also not interested in visiting other places because most of the other places were living areas, so there’s nothing to see.
The time they were in is really unfriendly to kids; there are no amusement parks, candy stores, or even schools that are in operation.
They only have some mini playgrounds in some of the communities around but they still couldn’t go their because the surroundings weren’t that good yet.
So, of course, Ashlee and the others didn’t know where else to visit.
In the end, all of them went back to the villa after visiting the base market.
Nathan also went to the villa together with his nephew.
After lunch the kids stayed together reading books, playing and even training.
While the others were also training and talking about something.
As for himself, he was just lying on the sofa watching a movie while listening to what Treyton and the others were talking about.
The others didn’t do anything tiring because they considered the day as their rest day.
The next day, Treyton planned to accompany Jasmine to the re
