A Filthy Rich Hamster in the Apocalypse

C60

The brief episode in the morning was very quickly thrown into the backs of their minds. Except for Nie Xiao and a few people who perceived some things, the others didn’t think about it as deeply and treated the subtle change in attitude that MoYan, Bai Mei, and the others showed as an effect of not sleeping well last night.

Presently, everyone shared the same fate of survival and they all regarded each other as close companions, especially MoYan and them who had never done anything to hurt others and have always had a good relationship with everyone. Therefore, it was very difficult for anyone to think about whether they were hiding any secret plots.

After breakfast, everyone temporarily restrained their respective moods and devoted themselves to their works and tasks.

Dr. Wei Hanming and the others had arranged tasks lasting for several days for everyone as early as yesterday. They must hurry up during this one-week period to help the Haicheng survivors first establish a small relatively regulated base, and only after that could they return to the mainland with peace of mind.

The Haicheng Base was currently being built around an area near Xiangyang Primary School where they were staying at the moment. In the future, survivors of Haicheng would expand it outwards on their own.

Duan Wenyu simply copied WuYi Base’s rules and regulations and revised and modified it to make a list of rules and regulations for Haicheng Base based on Haicheng’s situation. Everyone would act in accordance with these rules.

Soon after, Wei Hanming, Bai Yue, and the other scientists built more improved communication equipment and taught Tang Youshan and the crew how to maintain and use them. The school’s pipeline and electrical lines hadn’t been completely destroyed and only required a bit of maintenance and remodeling. As long as the generator’s fuel was sufficient, some basic electrical appliances could be used. But, in these particular apocalyptic times, everyone would save fuel and electricity when necessary.

Nie Xiao and WuYi’s team had been going out to collect plenty of supplies during this period of time. They helped the survivors of Haicheng clean up a lot of zombies and brought back many survivors while they were at it. The number of ability users among those they saved was actually quite large.

The presence of these various ability users accelerated the speed of construction of the base and one week became enough to build a small base.

While counting the number of ability users in the base, Nie Xiao and the others discovered a problem they hadn’t noticed in the past: at present, most of the ability users had hardly achieved the second level of awakening. In fact, even Wu Qingfeng and Luo Yunhai have only recently reached the threshold of awakening to the second level.

—The general rate of evolution of ability users was far lower than that of Nie Xiao’s group.

Therefore, Nie Xiao, a level three ability user, as well as Duan Wenyu and Jiang Qiu, who were about to enter this third level, could be referred to as the strongest amongst the strong.

Compared with the evolution speed of most ability users, Nie Xiao’s team’s evolution speed could be said to be at the level of transcending past the skies!!!

Regarding this, even Dr. Wei Hanming and the others were a little curious about the mystery behind it. Every ability user was obviously absorbing crystal nuclei all the same, so why is it that only their abilities were evolving fast?

In addition, Nie Xiao, Jiang Qiu, and several of their comrades’ abilities were not a variant ability possessing a single form but a whole system of an ability that cover multiple forms and variations. Including Wu Wenqi who was in the distant Fengcheng, practically all of wind, lightning, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth systems have been gathered by them.
