Two more days have passed since the base came forward to clarify.

The panic inside the base has not decreased but increased, but the source of this panic has been transferred from the ordinary people in the base to the power users.

Because there are few ordinary people who can eat mutant animals in the base, and more are supernatural beings.

And the power user is the backbone of a base standing in the apocalypse. Whether a base is strong or not depends to a large extent on the number and level of power users in the base.

The comprehensive strength of the Yancheng base can be ranked in the top ten among hundreds of thousands of bases in China. Although there are few high-level ability users, very few have entered the third-order level, but the total number of ability users cannot be supported. , so it can also gain a firm foothold in the last days.

But now, many supernatural beings are starting to worry about their own safety because of the mutant animals, and they are all protesting. The base was under more pressure than before. In order to give these people an explanation, they hurriedly went to investigate the background of those infected with the zombie virus, including where they had been and what they had eaten. Asked by anyone.

After so much tossing and turning, two days passed, and finally a conclusion was reached.

This time it was indeed only a certain mutant animal that had a problem.

They don't know whether this news is good or bad for others, but for Lin Yang, it is good news. This means that he is only a false alarm this time, and he will not have any worries.

Everyone in the morning light team also breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone has been with each other for so long and has feelings for each other. Even if parting and dying is very common in the last days, they still don't want to see anything happen to anyone in the team.

The mutant animal in question this time is a fish. It is a local shallow-water fish. After the end of the world, it has mutated. It has fangs and can discharge electricity, so that this fish immediately becomes docile and innocuous. Harmful, it has become an existence similar to the pre-apocalyptic piranha. Sometimes it even jumps out of the river and bites you. Its fangs still have toxins on it, and once a person is bitten, they will find that the bitten place is unconscious.

Everyone knows that the meat of mutant animals is difficult to chew and digest. The only advantage is that it is easy to feel full and strong, and it can last longer in the last days.

But this mutant animal is not the same. Its flesh is really melt-in-your-mouth kind, and it will "melt" in the mouth. I don't know how much better it is than other mutant animals in terms of taste. Because of this feature, it has recently become very popular at the table of power users at the Yancheng base.

The few people infected with the zombie virus had eaten this before the accident.

The scientific research institute found that the number of viruses carried by this mutant fish is ten times that of other mutant animals. People who had no problem eating this fish at first may be because of their good health. Just like being infected with the zombie virus, some people can become superhumans, while others become zombies. This is the same situation. Although not everyone who eats this mutant fish will be infected with the zombie virus, there is still a possibility. The incubation period is also longer than that of being infected by being scratched by a zombie, ranging from five to fifteen days. Even if a person is infected, it will be difficult for people to find out the problem for a while.

In the Yancheng base, the main seller of this mutant fish is a Chinese-style restaurant called "Diner".

This restaurant is also the one that Lin Yang went to eat before.

Fortunately, on the afternoon that Lin Yang went to eat, the mutant fish was a special dish in the store, and the daily supply was very small, and it had already been sold out. So he couldn't have a chance to eat it. But fortunately, didn't eat it, otherwise would have to add another person to the people who are worried about whether it will be infected.

Because the incident of the mutant animal problem has just been reported recently, during the two days of investigation, no one in the base dared to eat any mutant animal anymore.

But among those who have eaten before, some of them are still in the incubation period of the virus, so there have been three or four cases of people with the same symptoms as the man at the market in the past two days. They were all eaten before the incident was revealed. Suddenly, without warning, those people started going crazy on the street. One of them is a second-order fire-type ability user. After that ability user went crazy on the street and turned into a zombie, he couldn't control his ability. Not only did he bite people when he caught them, but he also released fireballs everywhere, almost burning the base's house.

This time, the situation was not as lucky as the last time at the market. met Lin Yang and Ruan Ning, and before the man turned into a zombie, he immediately brought him down. This time, the zombie transformation of the second-order ability user directly caused casualties to the base, as many as dozens of people. In the end, the other ability users who were present cooperated to subdue him, which prevented the situation from worsening again.

Now that the base has found the reason, of course, it immediately prohibits the sale and consumption of this mutant fish.

But the damage that has already been done cannot be undone.

The family members of the people who were infected with the virus and turned into zombies because of this, either mourned and wanted someone to give an explanation, or simply wanted to ask for some compensation. After thinking about it, they finally got together and came to the door to find them. "Diner", the restaurant that sells this mutant fish.

However, they all forgot that those who can open a restaurant in the last days are not simple people. Some also specially hire teams of power users to hunt and kill some specific types of mutant animals for profit. Such people also know a lot of supernatural beings, how could they be allowed to succeed.

What's more, this hotel is the largest and the earliest one in the Yancheng base.

When the interior of the Yancheng base was just stabilized a month ago, it began to prepare for opening. At first few people thought the store would survive. Now people get food without spending "money". Many people speculate that this restaurant has only just opened, and many of the items in it are sold, but they are robbed by people with ulterior motives. After all, after entering the apocalypse, many people can't even eat enough to eat, and there is a shortage of food. Who can go out of their way to eat such an impractical food.

But after the restaurant opened, everyone found out that the owner of the restaurant had thought of this for a long time, and specially hired several teams of power users to guard the door. Those who do not pay for the meal will be beaten and thrown out the door.

After a lot of shock and awe, this restaurant not only opened smoothly in the last days, but also many more people went to eat every day than imagined.

Even Ruan Ning heard from Lin Yang that the taste of this restaurant is good and the price is not particularly expensive. And they don't know where to find a lot of seasonings, and the chef's cooking skills are good, so they largely cover up the defects of the ingredients themselves. If it weren't for the mutant animals that happened the day after he went to eat, he would have thought about recommending other people in the team to try it too.

But now that something like this happens, no matter how delicious the other food in the restaurant is, there is no problem. I am afraid not many people will be willing to eat it.

After knowing that Lin Yang was only a false alarm this time, and that the rest of the team was completely fine, the members of the Chenxi team had no worries. Thinking that they had also been in the base for almost a week, it was time to leave from the Yancheng base, so the day after the base came to a conclusion, they packed up and prepared to go.

If they arrived at the Imperial Capital Base one day earlier, they would be relieved one day earlier.

However, before leaving the base, Ruan Ning and his party happened to pass by the hotel and saw a group of people surrounding the hotel entrance, arguing and demanding compensation from the hotel owner for mental damage.

The owner of this restaurant is a middle-aged man in his forties with a big belly. There were dozens of people around, everyone still holding a weapon, looking nervously at the troublemaker opposite. It seemed that these people were all brought by this man to protect himself.

However, compared to the dozens of people next to him, he relied more on a team of six who stood on the steps with a relaxed expression, so that every time he spoke, he subconsciously aimed there.

Ruan Ning and the others just came to the Yancheng base for a few days, and they didn't know much about the specific situation of the base's ability user team. But the survivors who stayed at the Yancheng base for a while recognized who the six people were standing on the steps.

They are the most ferocious team in the base. The Yancheng base that came a month ago is called Thunder Squad. There are not many people in the team, there are only six people in total, but each of them is very strong, and the lowest is the second-order ability user. The leader of this team, Su Yang, is a rare third-order ability user in the base. It is said that he will soon advance to the fourth-order fire element, and may even become the first fourth-order ability user in the base.

However, contrary to the strength of the Thunder team, they have a particularly bad reputation in the base. Because as long as someone can afford a high enough salary, they can take on any job, whether it's killing people and stealing goods or something else. People feared them and hated them.

Like this time.

After seeing that the restaurant owner paid a lot of money to invite the six of them over, the people who came to discuss the situation took a deep breath.

Some people even started to retreat in their hearts.

They don't think that the demons of the Thunder Squad will show mercy to everyone who is human. It is said that as long as the employer can overpay for the murder, they can also do it without blinking an eye.

Regarding what happened at the hotel, the members of the Chenxi team had no intention of getting involved, and just stood across the road and watched from a distance. Although Ruan Ning didn't know the origin of the team standing on the steps, he couldn't help but sighed when so many people surrounded the restaurant owner, it seems that money can make ghosts in the last days The phrase grinding is also applicable. Otherwise, the owner of the restaurant would not be able to find so many people to work for him.

"Everyone, listen to me and I also know that each of you is not feeling well now. After knowing this incident, I am also very sad. For this reason, I burn incense and worship Buddha at home every day to pray for those who have died. But You can't put all the blame on me. I'm just an ordinary businessman. I hope you can understand me. The mutant fish is not what I want to see. Even experts say that not all Anyone who eats it will have an accident. In other words, I didn't force everyone to eat that meat." The owner of the restaurant who paid a lot of money to invite the Thunder Squad has the confidence and doesn't want to be as weak as before.

"Those dishes are sold by you. If something goes wrong, who is responsible?"

"It's not your restaurant's business if you say that there are problems with the ingredients. If there are problems with the ingredients, why did you sell them in the first place?"

"What do you mean my sister ate the food from you, so she deserves it when something goes wrong?"

Anyway, no matter what these people who came to make trouble said, the restaurant owner never mentioned compensation, and was sloppy with them.

Those who have a temper and impulsiveness, see his attitude that this matter has nothing to do with himself, he is aroused by anger, and no matter what he can't beat, he immediately rushes up and wants to fight with this unscrupulous businessman. .

The first person to do it was a tall and thin man with a machete in his hand, but before he could get close, the weapon in his hand was swept away by a black whip and threw it to the ground. It was a blond woman who stopped him.

Seeing that the people on both sides were already fighting, everyone in the Chenxi team felt that there was no need to continue watching. Even if the two sides only fought for one round, the outcome of the two sides can actually be seen at a glance. That group of troublemakers won't get any benefit from the other side, and they might even put themselves on the line.

However, they didn't meddle in other people's affairs, they turned around and walked towards the gate of the base.

The team that went out to do the quest two days ago decreased a lot because of that incident. Today, they found that there was nothing to do, so they increased again. It's almost noon now and there are several teams waiting at the gate of the base to go out.

Ruan Ning and his party had just arrived here, and before they waited in line to go out, they saw a person suddenly rushing over from the crowd next to them.

Ruan Ning was standing in the middle of the team and talking to Mother Jiang, and that person came to her again, because she had only encountered such a situation at the market that day, and she formed a conditioned reflex and avoided it subconsciously. Then, when she was about to pull out the gun, she saw a skinny woman fall down where she was standing.
