Chapter 43 First Hearing of He'an
Yu Yao and Chi Heng stayed until 2 a.m., then Dongfang Jin and Jiang Yi came out and took their place.
When she returned, Luo Mei was still diligently absorbing the crystal core.
Yu Yao naturally didn't disturb her, and quietly lay down on the mattress and fell asleep, sleeping soundly until dawn.
Before heading back to the safe zone after breakfast.
After considering it, Yu Yao bought five sets of men's clothing and weapons from the store and gave them to Chi Heng and the others.
He then repeated what he had told Chi Heng yesterday.
Chi Heng was right about one thing: with him keeping things under control and Luo Mei pulling them along, this group of people wouldn't harm them at least.
Moreover, these basic equipment items are worthless and insignificant to her, but they are different to them.
She traded the obvious benefits for the hidden benefits they brought.
Not a loss.
Most importantly, once equipped with her weapons and tools, one is placed under a restriction, preventing them from having any thoughts of harming themselves.
This is actually beneficial to her.
However, to her surprise, after learning about Yu Yao's abilities, Dongfang Jin and the others unanimously stated that they would only accept crystal cores that belonged to them and that they could use.
As for the other crystal cores, items, and equipment, they all belong to her.
She can allocate or handle it herself.
Check it out.
What an understanding and ungreedy teammate...
......
The men's outfit consists of a black windbreaker set and Dr. Martens boots. Although it looks thick, it can automatically regulate the temperature and won't feel stuffy.
The men were all tall and slender, with good looks and great figures.
Each one looks good in its own way.
Jiang Yi happily spun around in front of Luo Mei several times.
Her face beamed with a clean and energetic smile, radiating youthful vitality that was impossible to conceal.
But what he said was incredibly smug.
"Is it pretty, Xiao Liu? We have team uniforms now, hahaha. Xiao Qi loves us too."
Jiang Yi and Qi Xian have expressed their envy of Luo Mei and Yu Yao's clothes that never get dirty more than once.
But Luo Mei only said it was technology and hard work, something she couldn't envy.
It made their teeth ache for quite a while.
Luo Mei glanced at him, raised her small hand with the pinky ring on it, and with a slight movement, a lollipop appeared in her palm.
"So what if I have one? It's just an outfit. I also have a spatial ring that my sister gave me. You don't have one, do you?"
That's right, Yu Yao gave Luo Mei the first spatial ring she had just created last night.
Although there will be better ones in the future, the first one is always of great significance.
After showing off, Luo Mei watched Jiang Yi's lips gradually droop, and chose to continue to cut to the heart: "The very first one, do you have one?"
Chi Heng glanced at the silver ring on Luo Mei's little finger, silently lowered his head, put away the dagger Yu Yao had given him, and said, "Alright, let's go."
Finally, he did add a word of advice: "Little Six, don't show off when you go out."
Luo Mei chuckled: "Don't worry, boss, I know what I'm doing."
Qi Xian looked at Luo Mei with envy and sighed, "Tsk, I can't be envious of that~"
After saying that, she put her arm around Jiang Yi's neck and dragged him out the door, preparing to go to the seventeenth floor to meet Sang Yi and the others.
......
When the group arrived on the seventeenth floor, their uniform attire and outstanding demeanor immediately attracted everyone's attention.
There was envy, jealousy, and ill intent.
Sensing the ill intent in that look, Yu Yao suddenly turned her head and caught the malice and panic in the man's eyes that he couldn't hide in time.
It's him?
Lin Chaoyu is Shi Ying's little lapdog.
Is that expression a sign that he wants to avenge Shi Ying?
Yu Yao subconsciously used the friend system to check the other person's favorability rating.
If there is no positive impression, the character will be automatically added to the blacklist.
Is that impressive?
A warrior of pure hatred!
Yu Yao saw his detailed information on the blacklist.
25 years old, Level 0 Speed Evolver, Malice Value 90.
He actually awakened a superpower?
And... malicious values?
This was the first time Yu Yao had ever seen this term.
And it even reached a high of 90?
When Lin Chaoyu met Yu Yao's cold gaze, he panicked for a moment but quickly composed himself.
Instead, they felt the same envy and longing as others.
If Yu Yao hadn't noticed his malice, she probably would have thought she'd misjudged him.
Silently wary of this person, Yu Yao turned her face away and stopped looking at him.
Just as the group appeared, He Huan led Cheng Xiyuan and Nie Ting over.
Cheng Xiyuan's condition has stabilized considerably, and there is a glimmer of light in her big eyes.
She stood timidly in front of Yu Yao and Luo Mei.
Holding two delicately carved wooden plaques symbolizing peace and safety in her hands, she said, "Sister Yu, Sister Luo, these are for you."
Luo Mei took the tablet with a look of delight, her fair fingers tracing its surface as she examined it closely. She asked, "Is this a 'Nothing to Worry' tablet? It's so well made."
The plaque that Cheng Xiyuan took out was made of ordinary ebony wood, and the carving was rather amateurish.
The plaque is smooth and flat, with a ruyi cloud pattern carved on the top of the hanging rope. The lines are smooth, delicate and lively, showing a lot of ingenuity.
Cheng Xiyuan smiled shyly, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
"Thank you, Sister Luo."
He Huan patted Cheng Xiyuan's head and added, "This was carved by Yuanyuan herself last night, using the dagger you gave her. She said it was her heartfelt gift."
"I... I only know this one pattern, but I know it has the meaning of warding off evil and ensuring peace. I hope that Sister Yu and Sister Luo can always be safe and sound."
Cheng Xiyuan still looked at Yu Yao and Luo Mei timidly, but her voice was clear and crisp.
Upon hearing that she had carved it with a dagger, Luo Mei exclaimed in surprise, "You can carve something like this with a dagger? I didn't know Yuan Yuan was such a master!"
Seeing her coaxing the child like this, Cheng Xiyuan blushed, but felt a warmth in her heart.
Yu Yao held the sandalwood plaque and examined it over and over, liking it more and more each time. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Yuan Yuan. With your blessing, we will definitely be safe and sound, and so will you."
“Mmm~” Cheng Xiyuan nodded emphatically, his eyes filled with stars as he looked at Yu Yao.
Nie Ting looked at her with gentle eyes, patted her little head, and looked tender.
Luo Mei didn't see Lin Xiaoxiao, so she asked curiously, "Why are there only three of you? Where's Lin Xiaoxiao?"
Nie Ting's smile faded slightly, and her voice turned cold: "She said that being with us would bring back bad memories, so she broke up with us."
"Separated?" Luo Mei asked, puzzled. "Did they leave?"
He Huan said, "No, they were recruited by some superhumans." As she spoke, she looked around but couldn't find them.
"It was here just now, but I don't know where it is now."
Nie Ting scoffed, "They're hiding from us, aren't they?"
He Huan frowned. "You don't need to be so angry. There's really no reason for the four of us to be bound together."
"I know, but I'm just not feeling well."
They were companions who escaped from the hellish place together, and they thought they could support each other out of the darkness.
Who would have thought...
Forget it.
"People strive for better things. Staying with a few weak women like us really doesn't offer any future."
Nie Ting sighed softly, her tone filled with confusion and fear about the future.
Cheng Xiyuan noticed her low spirits and turned around to take her slightly trembling fingertips in his hand.
Blinking her big eyes, she patted the dagger hidden at her waist and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Sister Tingting, I'll protect you!"
After being teased like that, Nie Ting paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled, looking exceptionally beautiful.
"Okay, then my future depends on you."
"Hmm~"
While the group was chatting, Chi Heng and the other men wisely refrained from disturbing the girls and quietly left for another side.
Not far away, Sang Yi and a man seemed to be arguing.
After listening for a while, they learned from several survivors that there was an even more advanced biological research institute on the top floor of the He'an Biomedical Company in the east of the city.
The equipment and raw materials used inside are all world-class.
The research data is also extremely valuable, and they hope the military can send someone to retrieve it as soon as possible.
To avoid unnecessary waste or others getting there first.
Sang Yi was eager to retrieve it, but the superhumans he had recruited felt that they should not go rashly.
Because Sang Yi had just organized a roll call not long ago, and the team that arrived had nearly a hundred people.
Now, including Chi Heng and He Huan (nine people in total), and the remaining twelve survivors in the hospital, there are less than seventy people in total.
It can be said that the loss is heavy!
In addition, the risk factor will be greatly increased if they also have to protect these survivors who have little fighting ability.
This is completely inconsistent with the previously agreed-upon compensation.
Even if Sang Yi offered to increase the compensation, it wouldn't work.
After all, no matter how much reward you receive, you have to be alive to collect it...
Chi Heng's eyes flickered slightly when he heard the name He An, and he exchanged a glance with Dongfang Jin without making a sound.
After finally getting rid of the man, Sang Yi sighed and said to Chi Heng, "Mr. Chi, I'm sorry you had to see this."
Chi Heng said, "It's human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm, so it's normal for people with superpowers to have some concerns."
Sang Yi gave a wry smile, "Yes, after all, they aren't..."
After a pause, he added, "Never mind, let them go back."
After speaking, he looked at Chi Heng and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Chi, I'd like to hire you for the next mission, is that alright?"
Chi Heng paused slightly, thought for a few moments, and then said, "He'an's security level is very high. I believe that the series of changes in the past few days cannot damage He'an's security system at all. Moreover, He'an is a closed system, and the employees' lives and entertainment are all in that building. Those tens of thousands of employees... Commander Sang, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call that place a zombie abode now."
Sang Yi frowned. "Mr. Chi seems to know a lot about He'an?"
"We've dealt with each other before," Chi Heng replied casually.
"So, what does Mr. Chi mean?"
"Don't go."
No sooner had Chi Heng finished speaking than an aged voice sounded from behind him.
"Mr. Chi, please, you must go!"
