Rebirth: The Doomsday Solitary Favorite Chapter 56

Chapter 56: Getting a Bargain

"Don't we still have those private cars?" Lu Changyuan smiled indifferently, "If you have a car, of course you can follow the army. Besides, people will come from the Matanan base. They are the two bases closest to Qingjiang City. To the north is the Beicheng base, and to the south is the Matanan base. As for the size, Zhang Rong didn't say. I guess he doesn't know what's going on in Matanan. After all, the base has just been established, and it's already busy enough just taking care of its own affairs."

After Lu Changyuan finished speaking, he put out the cigarette in his hand and said with some emotion: "No matter which base, the rescue areas chosen are all relatively prosperous cities. The backward towns and mountainous areas are equivalent to being completely abandoned."

Han Jiaojiao leaned on Han Yi's shoulder. She felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Lu Changyuan say that. However, this was a reality that had to be faced. Even if we didn't consider the density of materials and population, the authorities would not spend manpower and material resources in barren areas just from the perspective of time cost and convenient transportation. However, she thought that after the end of the world, in addition to these large bases, there were actually many small bases scattered in many places. As long as the survivors could get out of the predicament, they might not have no way out.

"Industrial production will definitely not be able to recover in the short term. The materials in the city are limited, and there is both cooperation and competition between bases. Whoever takes more, the other will take less. A prosperous city is where a large amount of materials are gathered. If you want to accumulate materials quickly, you must give up some areas..."

Yan Xiao asked him, "Did you talk about supernatural powers?"

Lu Changyuan smiled strangely, "Zhang Rong has been asking me if we have people with special abilities. Now every base is recruiting people with special abilities, and they have also developed equipment to detect special abilities. I don't think there's anything to hide, so I told him that there are a few of them, but I didn't tell him what their special abilities are."

Yan Xiao raised the corners of his mouth and said, "I don't think these superpowers are very practical. In a real fight, we still have to rely on guns, artillery and shells." Then he turned his head to look at Han Jiaojiao, "For example, your classmate, the wind type? What use is it? Can it blow away the alien species?"

Han Jiaojiao thought about it seriously and said, "...wind power generation?" After she said that, as if she had been tickled, she threw herself into Han Yi's arms and giggled.

Han Yi's mouth corners curled up in a helpless smile.

Yan Xiao also laughed out loud, "Do you think he is a windmill? Hahahaha..."

Lu Changyuan also had a smile on his face.

"Guns and ammunition will eventually run out. It's only a matter of time before we train a regular army of superpowers that can be deployed in war. From Zhang Rong's tone, it seems that the base has great confidence in this. The research institutes of Beicheng Base and Matana Base have reached a cooperation intention, and are now working hard to study methods to enhance superpowers and how to use them."

Yan Xiao glared, "He even told you this?"

"He is just doing us a favor. Besides, it is easy to find out these things once we go to the base." Lu Changyuan paused and said, "From the looks of it, he doesn't seem to know about the crystal core yet."

Yan Xiao nodded and said to Han Yi, "Just now I followed those two soldiers to take a look ahead. It's only about 200 meters away from here. The soldiers are guarding a circle. The ground is full of alien corpses, but no one is digging them up. They are just piled up. Brother Han, after they leave, should we go and pick up some bargains?"

When Han Jiaojiao heard this, she was also moved and looked at Han Yi with sparkling eyes.

The crystal core will not stay in the body forever. Although it is hard, it is not real stone after all. To put it bluntly, it is a condensed energy. After the body decays, the energy will slowly dissipate. - Just like a battery, no one charges it, it is just left there unused. Over time, the electricity inside will slowly dissipate.

In other words, the crystal nucleus has a "shelf life".

Han Yi used his mental search to scan the area and said, "Not bad, there are six."

Several people were excited when they heard this. They picked up six crystal cores for free! They worked so hard to destroy a nest last time, but only got two.

"We can ask Kairui to come over and dig it tomorrow." Lu Changyuan suggested. Bai Kairui could go there in stealth. There were troops guarding nearby, and there were also survivors coming and going. As long as Bai Kairui didn't make too much noise, it should be easy to dig out the crystal core.

Yan Xiao was a little worried, "But there are so many alien corpses, and only Brother Han knows which ones have crystal cores. Kerry can't look for them one by one, right?"

Han Yi said: "This is easy. I can communicate with him directly using my mental power."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiao's eyes curved up, as if he had succeeded in his evil plan, "That would be perfect."

After discussing countermeasures, they realized that there was no point in staying any longer, so they decided to go home and prepare for tomorrow.

Lu Changyuan had just started the engine when someone came in front.

I saw Zhang Rong leading a bright-looking young woman towards this side, followed by a dozen soldiers with guns, who seemed to be the woman's bodyguards.

She was wearing a cream-colored wide-collared shirt and dark gray high-waisted trousers. She had a graceful and slender figure, long hair tied on one side, and a fair and beautiful face. She looked capable and intelligent, yet graceful and elegant. The woman hurriedly passed through the crowd, attracting a lot of attention.

Han Yi noticed the stiffness of Han Jiaojiao beside him. He looked down at her and saw that she was pursing her lips tightly and staring at the person who came without blinking. There was a deep chill in her eyes.

"Ayi!" Qin Nanyi shouted in surprise. If Zhang Rong hadn't told her, she would never have expected to meet Han Yi. Didn't they say that the Han family had already gone to the North City Base? Why was Han Yi here?

"Why are you here? Didn't you go to the North City Base? Where are you driving to now?" She asked several questions in a row. Perhaps she realized her own gaffe, so she stood in front of the car, pursed her lips, and smiled shyly.

It would be difficult to ignore the other party's enthusiasm. Han Yi opened the car door, leaned half of his body against the car window, and answered concisely: "Return to the Lingshan Villa District."

Qin Nanyi seemed to have gotten used to Han Yi's indifference. She took another step closer and said softly, "Ayi, come with me to the Yatanan base. My father has always wanted to see you. After not seeing you for so many years, my mother often asks about you."

Han Yi's expression softened when he heard this, and he asked, "Aunt Duan, are you feeling well?"

Qin Nanyi's face was filled with worry. "Her body couldn't stand the torture. If Dad hadn't brought people back in time..." As she spoke, her voice choked. She hurriedly lowered her head and pressed the corners of her eyes. When she raised her head again, she saw that her eyes were slightly red. She looked very delicate but pretending to be strong.

"Now that her condition has stabilized, you can come with me to the Yatanami base. We can visit her there."

Han Yi glanced at Han Jiaojiao.

Although Han Jiaojiao kept her head down and didn't say anything, when Qin Nanyi invited him to the base just now, he clearly felt her body tremble slightly.

"No, I still have some things to take care of." Han Yi rejected Qin Nanyi, thinking about Han Jiaojiao's abnormal reaction in his heart.

Qin Nanyi showed a disappointed look on her face, and couldn't help asking, "What will you do after you're done with your work? Will you go to the Yatanan base?"

Go to Yatanan? Going to the Qin family would mean being controlled by them. Han Yi had no such plan.

Before he could refuse, Qin Nanyi looked at Han Jiaojiao who had been silent in the car, and said distressedly: "So many things have happened during this period of time, is Jiaojiao scared? After all, she is a teenage girl. Ah Yi, there are men around you, how can you take good care of Jiaojiao? Let Jiaojiao go to Yanan, so that you can be more at ease when you are busy outside, right?"
