Fifteen minutes later, the Phantom team reached a two-story building. The guard gestured for them to wait and said, "Please wait here, I will go inform the mander."
While they waited outside, Qin Luzi checked the map in his mind and frowned. Unlike the usual green dots, there were a lot of light mint dots. This color was the bination of green and a little bit of blue.
Besides these dots, there were several teal dots and one purple dot in the building thirty kilometers away from them. What concerned him was not the teal nor the light mint dots but the purple dot, because purple was the mix of red and blue.
He leaned closer to Jin Xuyan and whispered, "Captain, this base is strange. There are a lot of ability-users with a light mint dot. Also, in the building thirty kilometers away from here, there is someone with a purple dot. This person might be a Mutant."
Jin Xuyan already learned about the colors representing people in Qin Luzi’s map. So after he heard his words, he understood the severity of the situation.
He knew the blue color represented people who had been injected with an unknown solution in the facility. So those people with the color mixed with blue meant that they were either people from the facility or had been injected with an unknown solution.
As for the person with a purple dot, he might be those who underwent DNA altering using the MR-01’s DNA in the facility. After all, the so-called MR-01 was nothing but the main source of the zombie virus.
"Everyone, be careful," Jin Xuyan said.
Hearing this, the members nodded and kept their eyes on the situation in the surroundings.
Soon after, the guard returned and said, "rade, the mander agreed to meet with you, but only two people are allowed to enter."
After he said this, Jin Xuyan turned and said, "Yixie, you follow me in. The rest of you, wait here."
"Understood," the members replied in unison.
While they waited outside, Jiao Lizhi suddenly took out a table and a chair from her space. As she sat down, she took out a box of mineral water and some pancakes from her space.
The moment she placed a box of mineral water and a basket of scallion pancakes on the table, she noticed the gaze of the survivors who were watching them change instantly.
She found their behavior strange and wanted to test the water. "Selling water and food! One bottle of water only for one level-one crystal core. Two scallion pancakes for one level-one crystal core. Anyone who wants to buy it can e over now!"
When the members heard this, they were taken aback.
They looked at her and saw her signaling them with her gaze. Understanding her intention, the members quickly stood on the side to keep order. As for the survivors who were following them, they had food but no crystal cores, so they did not join the fun.
At first, the Poplar base’s residents thought that she was joking. With how scarce the supplies were, how could someone be willing to sell supplies?
But after a while, a man finally walked over. He was so thin that his eyes and cheeks had sunk. With only skin and bones, he had to use a stick to support his body as he walked.
When he stood in front of the table, he reached into his pocket and took out two crystal cores. As he handed them to Jiao Lizhi, he asked, "rade, can I really exchange this for water and food?"
Jiao Lizhi took the crystal cores and gave him a bottle of mineral water and two scallion pancakes.
The moment the man got the water and food, he quickly drank half of the water before devouring the scallion pancake on the spot. With how fast he ate, he almost choked, but he did not slow down at all.
Seeing this, the members exchanged glances. It seemed that the situation in this base was far worse than they expected.
With one person successfully exchanging food, more people gathered their courage and came over. Thankfully, the members were around and managed to keep the situation under control.
While they were selling water and scallion pancakes, Jin Xuyan sat across from Yang Shen.
As he met Jin Xuyan’s gaze, Yang Shen felt his back covered in cold sweat. Unlike Boss Lin, the man in front of him exuded a very dangerous aura.
After a while, Yang Shen finally broke the silence and asked, "I wonder how I should address you, rade?"
"You can call me Captain Jin. My team passed by this place and we decided to take a look. We have a lot of survivors following us, and it is not convenient for my team to bring them during a mission," Jin Xuyan replied.
Hearing this, Yang Shen understood his intention and said, "It is no problem for my base to accept those people. But as you can see, my base not only lacks water and food, but we also lack ability-users to fight against the zombies. If we have too many people here, it might attract a zombie horde."
Jin Xuyan nodded and replied, "I understand your concern. From what I know, the nearest red zone area from this base is the First Hospital."
"If you are worried about the zombie horde, my team will clear out the zombies in that area and the wandering zombies nearby. This way, the possibility of a zombie horde happening will be below five percent."
When Yang Shen heard this, surprise flashed in his eyes for a moment. Thinking about that man and his people, he could not help but glance at Jin Xuyan.
After hesitating for a moment, he made up his mind. "If possible, I would like to ask Captain Jin’s help. There is a High-Level Zombie in the area near the five-star hotel, thirty kilometers away from here. As long as you can kill that zombie, I will gladly accept the survivors."
