Apocalypse: I rescued the big boss with millions of supplies

Chapter 82 Undercurrents

Pao Shanzhen explained, "Mu Yu, you and Yang Yang just got back, so you don't know. The Qingdu base is a deep and dangerous place. Don't be fooled by the large number of superhumans at the base; since its establishment, superhumans have been disappearing every day."

They exist both in the inner city and the outer city.

“In the apocalypse, dangers lurk everywhere. Even the most powerful superhumans are not invincible. It’s normal for superhumans to go missing every day,” Bai Zhi said.

Pao Haiwei shook his head. "My dad and I thought so at first too. But after our culinary special abilities were revealed, we always felt like someone was watching us from the shadows."

Therefore, we reopened Zuixianju, and sure enough, after the restaurant, favored by those with supernatural abilities, reopened, the feeling disappeared. However, whenever the night is quiet, we occasionally still feel that someone is watching our restaurant.

A wise glint flashed in Pao Shanzhen's eyes: "People, the greater the power, the greater the desire. This was true before the apocalypse, and it might become even more insane after the apocalypse."

"Most of the people coming and going at Zuixianju are powerful superhumans. We often hear them say that their teammates have died or gone missing, especially low-level special ability users."

Long Yangyang pondered the novel's setting, wondering why she felt she had never seen a similar plot before.

It is indeed somewhat unreasonable. It's a post-apocalyptic novel, but the cause of the apocalypse is not a virus. The setting of a mad scientist is also a common trope in post-apocalyptic novels.

"Xiao Fei, what do you think?"

[It's not impossible, Yangyang. Don't forget, this novel is unfinished; it has no ending. Who knows what will happen if Heaven automatically fills in the gaps?]

Fu Muyu's expression was solemn: "Since zombies can upgrade through the flesh and blood of superhumans and their crystal cores, what about humans? Zombie crystal cores contain zombie viruses and need to be purified before they can be used. What about the crystal cores of human superhumans?"

Long Yangyang suddenly realized that she had relied too much on the novel's setting and plot. The novel did not mention that superhumans could advance by absorbing superhuman crystal cores, and she had completely ignored this fact.

This is no longer simply a world within a book.

In order to complete the incomplete plot, the incomplete Heavenly Dao in the book has filled in countless loopholes. Haven't the difficult trials she has encountered along the way made her realize the importance of this?

She's still relying on the transmigrator's prophecy; the plot isn't omnipotent, and besides, she hasn't even followed the protagonist's storyline yet.

Long Yangyang wanted to punch herself hard to wake herself up. If she continued to be so "naive," she wouldn't even know how she died. This was a real apocalyptic world where death could happen at any moment.

If someone really uses a superhuman crystal core to enhance their superhuman abilities, then they, as the highest-ranking superhumans in the base, will definitely be targeted.

Seeing that Long Yangyang looked unwell, Fu Muyu covered her hand and said, "It's alright, it's just Uncle Pao and the others' guess."

Although Fu Muyu said this, he believed seven or eight parts of the Pao family's guess.

Thinking back to the last mission carried out before the apocalypse, Fu Muyu guessed that perhaps the laboratory where the meteorite crystals were stolen by foreign spies was located in the Qingdu base.

"Yangyang, don't be afraid. With me here, you can go wherever you want in this world," Xiaofei comforted her.

Long Yangyang thought of Xiao Fei's abilities. Yes, with the crystal core, Xiao Fei was practically invincible. No, the superpowers in the apocalypse were all kinds of strange and wonderful. What if there was a power that could restrain Xiao Fei? In the future, she would have to be careful and improve her own strength as soon as possible.

"Xiao Fei, can you still sense where the Star Origin Crystal Core is?"

"Yangyang, what do you want to do...?" Unbelievable, Yangyang is so ambitious, Xiaofei can hardly believe it.

“Using crystal cores to increase strength is too slow, and most of the zombies we encounter are not high-level.” Long Yangyang was certain that there were high-level zombies in Qingdu City, but she valued her life.

I don't want to be a lone hero and go to the zombie city to investigate the strength of the zombies for the time being.

She just wanted to make a fortune quietly, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was unaware of the power of Star Origin Crystals in the early stages of the apocalypse, and improve her own strength first.

“There’s one at the Qingdu base. But Yangyang, I don’t recommend you go. They have a way to shield against star energy there,” Xiaofei reminded her.

Sure enough, there is a research institute, and it's a research institute that specializes in the study of star source crystals. I just don't know how much they have studied star source energy.

Long Yangyang suddenly remembered that the reason she saved Fu Muyu was because of the Star Origin Fragment in his possession. He should also know some related information.

"Besides the Qingdu Base, Xiao Fei, do you know where the nearest Star Source Fragment is?"

Long Yangyang was indeed somewhat wary of the research institute's laboratory, after all, who knew if there were any mad scientists inside who had developed some terrifying monsters?

"About two thousand kilometers to the northwest, Yangyang, you can teleport there instantly."

Long Yangyang secretly decided that she would make the trip tonight.

After making up her mind to become stronger, Long Yangyang's eyes became even more determined. Looking at the Pao family father and son, whose faces were bruised and swollen, on the sofa, she said, "Uncle Pao, Brother Dahai, please treat your wounds first."

Long Yangyang took out a first-aid kit from her space. Although their wounds looked scary, they were all superficial and could be treated with some medicine.

"Uncle Pao, Brother Dahai, since you are in danger, please stay at my villa for now. We all really enjoy your cooking, so please take care of our meals while you stay. I'll provide the ingredients."

Pao Shanzhen naturally wanted to stay. With four Level 4 ability users in the house, it was much safer than living alone. "Don't worry, Yangyang, I guarantee you won't have the same meal twice in a week."

Upon hearing this, Long Yangyang's eyes lit up. "Then I look forward to Uncle Pao and Brother Dahai's cooking skills. Of course, it would be even better if you were willing to join our superpower team."

Like Shi Qing, Long Yangyang also desperately wanted to abduct these two special imperial chefs with superpowers.

It's just that Long Yangyang can't be as straightforward and forceful as Shi Qing for the time being.

“If you and Xiao Muyu don’t mind that I’m too old, I’d be happy to join your superpower group.” Having lived most of his life, Paoshan Zhen was very insightful. He understood the principle of having a powerful backer.

Today, it was just this handsome young man; he remembered that the other party had brought him and his father aboard the water.

Whether it was the strength of a level four ability user or the fact that the other party was holding back, it broadened the old man's horizons. He just hoped that his son would become more sensible.

"Then I'll have to rely on you all from now on." Pao Haiwei nodded to the group, clearly showing no resistance to joining Long Yangyang's group of superpowered individuals.

That evening, the Pao father and son saw the different kinds of mutated ingredients in Long Yangyang's refrigerator and their eyes lit up. No chef could resist rare ingredients, so the two of them ignored their injuries and couldn't wait to cook a sumptuous dinner for everyone.
