The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

Boss Tang's death brought about a series of changes.

For Ye Xiao, this change was a rare opportunity.

Chen Zhenhong offered some generous terms, which won over many of the mutants.

By the time the external security detail became aware of this, Chen Zhenhong already had considerable influence.

As Ye Xiao had anticipated, they did not have any major conflicts. The team leaders had some connections, and after weighing the pros and cons, they jointly took control of the base's decision-making power.

The children who were originally in District 4 were released back to District 3. The three women who had mutant genes were put under strict guard. The remaining women, after learning about Boss Tang's death and the subsequent "freedom," finally broke free from their state of despair and numbness.

After being holed up in the underground base for many days, the group was finally able to go out and move around.

The rainy season is over, and the sun has returned to this land.

The blinding sunlight was still as scorching as in summer, making people dizzy.

The stone slabs on the ground were baked white by the sun and steam was rising from them.

A warehouse-like storefront located at the bottom of the inner street was wide open, with several adventure team vehicles parked in front, either waiting for repairs or reinforcement.

At this moment, Liang Kai, Chen Ge, and the others were busy in the shop, as the rainy season had ended and their modification shop had officially opened for business.

Zhou Qirui leveraged his sales skills to attract a considerable number of clients.

As for Lan Ling, Ye Xiao had her disguise herself as Sister Lin and took the opportunity to bring her out. At this moment, she was leisurely sitting in the small office on the second floor.

At the entrance, several adventurers were smoking handmade cigarettes and striking up a conversation with Ye Xiao, who was leaning against the side.

"Boss Ye Xiao, you're amazing! You have a really complete set of tools here!"

The speaker was Liu Hewei, the captain of the Falcon Squad.

Ye Xiao's reputation has now spread throughout the base. After all, these mutants are very well-informed and can find out some details about the killing of Boss Tang.

It's hard not to be concerned about a guy who can help Chen Zhenhong kill the mutated Boss Tang and who also has the right to move freely in the base.

Moreover, they had all heard that Ye Xiao was the leader of Chen Ge and several other mutants. Given that he had achieved this level of influence, these mutants dared not underestimate this seemingly ordinary asymptomatic individual.

Ye Xiao's reputation value has now reached over 500, and he believes that once it reaches 1,000, he should be able to obtain even better rewards.

Ye Xiao smiled and said with a hint of pride, "Before we came to the base, my brothers and I were quite adventurous."

"Didn't the rainy season suddenly come? And I'm tired of wandering around."

"But once you've been comfortable for too long, it gets boring."

Liu Hewei laughed heartily: "Isn't that right? Although it's comfortable in the base, it gets boring after a while."

He looked at Ye Xiao and said, "I heard you're gathering independent adventurers? Are you planning to form an adventurer team?"

Ye Xiao nodded: "Yes, we were given a mission from above. We need to gather more asymptomatic individuals back, but we're short-handed!"

Ye Xiao had his own plans. Even if the official team sent someone over, whether he could actually get a spot was a question. Even if he sent several at once, if he was unlucky, he might only get ordinary fans.

Even if they are all people sent by the authorities, they are all asymptomatic, which increases the risk of them going out many times over. Moreover, to some extent, they cannot match the combat power of those mutants.

Therefore, Ye Xiao felt that it was still very necessary to form an adventurer team of mutants.

As for how to control the opponent, Ye Xiao has enough trump cards: the [Mutation Blocker].

This thing sells for the price of 8 seed kernels at the base.

Even ordinary inhibitors require 3 seed nuclei.

This is an extremely expensive price, whether for individual adventurers or large adventure teams.

Therefore, most mutants will avoid activating their mutant abilities if possible.

Clang, clang, a series of noisy sounds suddenly approached from a distance.

Ye Xiao and his friends, who were chatting idly at the shop entrance, craned their necks to look over as a somewhat dilapidated-looking car slowly approached.

Half of the heavy sheet metal armor that had been installed on the side of the front of the vehicle had fallen off and was dragging on the ground, making a screeching sound.

One of the rear wheels was flat, and it rolled with difficulty on the ground.

Although the car was moving very slowly, the noise it made along the way still attracted the attention of many people.

A teammate named Fengzi standing next to Liu Hewei couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Wow, this is all junk! Which team is this?"

Liu Hewei looked over there, staring intently at the tall man who had jumped out of the driver's seat at the back of the convoy, and raised his eyebrows.

"Zhou Hu?"

He suddenly turned his head to look at Ye Xiao and nodded in that direction.

"Hey, didn't you want to recruit people? Zhou Hu only has three companions with him, you can give him a try."

Ye Xiao hadn't expected Liu Hewei to come up and promote this person to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious, so he asked:

"you know?"

Liu Hewei shrugged, threw the last bit of unsmoked cigarette butt in his mouth onto the ground, and crushed it.

"I've heard of him. He used to be a policeman and led a pretty big adventure team. But something happened to him, and only a few of them are left."

"But I heard that these guys are quite loyal. Although they are a solo team, they have a good reputation. Sometimes when the adventure teams in the base are short of manpower, they will look for them."

Ye Xiao stroked his chin, feeling slightly tempted, but whether it was suitable or not, he would only know after getting to know it.

At this moment, Zhou Hu walked over. He was over 1.8 meters tall, about the same height as Ye Xiao, but much stronger and more robust, looking like a bear.

He had a spiky haircut and wore a slightly worn tactical vest, revealing his bare chest and muscular physique.

He has a circular, radiating scar on his right arm that looks like a bullet hole.

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow. It seemed that he really was someone with a story.

The other person had a rugged appearance with very bright eyes, but did not look fierce.

Zhou Hu walked towards the shop entrance. He glanced at Ye Xiao and the others standing at the entrance, and then saw Liu Hewei raise his hand and point at Ye Xiao.

"This is the boss!"

Zhou Hu then turned his attention to Ye Xiao. He lived in the outer area of ​​the base, which was remote, and he didn't know much about Ye Xiao, nor had he met him before.

I heard that a car modification shop had opened inside, with very complete equipment and reasonable prices, so I decided to come and take a look.

Zhou Hu obviously didn't expect that the owner of such a modification shop would be a fair-skinned young man, and he seemed to be asymptomatic.

Zhou Hu pointed to his car and said, "I need to get my car repaired urgently. Do you have time?"
