Chapter 124: A Large Number of Talents
“Brother Song, do those people really have food?”
Han Song looked at his brothers gathering around, feeling a little embarrassed: “Yes, they have a Life Supernatural Ability User and a Space Supernatural Ability User. I’ve seen them in action. Their Supernatural Ability Level isn’t high, but they’re strong. We might not get the better of them in a direct fight, and I think they can get out.”
Zhou Changyi looked at the oil on his lips: “Brother Song, you’ve already eaten your fill.”
As soon as Zhou Changyi finished speaking, the stomachs of the remaining few people began to rumble uncontrollably: “What happened to brothers sharing life and death together!”
Wang Jin: “Alright, Changyi, let’s hear what Brother Song has to say first. If the other party really has food, Brother Song wouldn’t let us starve.”
Han Song smiled: “They said they can trade food for Crystal Cores. You guys spread the word first, let the Supernatural Ability Users go trade with them for food, and then privately go to the Air Raid Shelter to find those ordinary people. This group of people is here to find someone. As long as they find the person, we’ll leave with them.”
Zhao Shijun frowned slightly: “Brother Song, can they take us with them?”
Han Song smiled: “The lowest among us is Level Six. We’re a pretty good team. I haven’t been out to the bases outside, but they definitely can’t advance as quickly as us.”
Tang Lei: “Of course not quickly. We’re being raised like pigs. I don’t dare to Upgrade. Once I break through to Level Eight, I’ll be close to death.”
Speaking of this, his and Han Song’s expressions turned grim. Once they reached Level Eight, they would surely die, but if they didn’t Upgrade, they would also die. This was simply an unsolvable problem.
Han Song: “It’s okay, I think they can. At worst, it won’t be much worse than this. Everyone, make one last effort. If it really doesn’t work, then… accept fate!”
He emphasized the words “accept fate” with particular weight, as if he had made some kind of decision.
Zhou Changyi: “Alright, in that case, Shi Jun and I will go find the Supernatural Ability Users. Brother Song, you guys go find those ordinary people. They trust you more.”
Han Song had never killed ordinary people like other Supernatural Ability Users, so those ordinary people still had a little trust in him. If others went, they probably wouldn’t even be able to see them, but for Han Song, it was uncertain.
Underground Air-raid Shelter
Lu Min Feng followed him all the way to the Underground Air-raid Shelter.
It was damp and dark, with moss and mold everywhere.
Han Song knocked on the heavy door. Heavy panting came from inside, but no one spoke.
“I am Han Song. Don’t be afraid, everyone. I’ve come to tell you some news. There’s a Life Supernatural Ability User outside. She said she needs a large number of Crystal Cores. As long as you give Crystal Cores, she’ll give food.”
‘Creak—’
A section of the heavy door opened. Through a small window, an aged face was visible: “Really?”
Han Song: “Elder Yan, when have I ever lied to you?”
Elder Yan extended a slightly trembling hand and pushed Crystal Cores through a small opening: “Then please go and exchange them for us.”
The outside was full of Supernatural Ability Users. They didn’t dare to go out. Once they went out, they would become food for those people. Many of them had lost all sense of kinship.
Han Song said with a troubled expression: “This might not be possible. That person said she wants to exchange them face-to-face. They seem to be Seeking Relatives. So, Elder Yan, would you like to go out, or should I have her come find you?”
Seeking Relatives?
Elder Yan glanced at the old, weak, sick, and disabled behind him, gritted his teeth, and said: “You, have her come alone.”
“Okay, then I’ll go out and talk to her about this.”
Since they didn’t want to go out, Han Song couldn’t force them. The facilities of the Underground Air-raid Shelter’s door were very ingeniously made. Not a few people had tried to force their way in, all without success.
Watching Han Song leave, Elder Yan closed the door and turned around, only to be grabbed by the leg by a Child: “Grandpa Yan, have Mu Mu’s family come to find him?”
Looking at the frail Mu Mu, Elder Yan squatted down and gently stroked his head as much as his dry hands could: “Does Mu Mu miss his Parents?”
“Mm, when will they come to pick Mu Mu up? Mu Mu is so hungry.”
Mu Mu’s Parents had gone out to find Food and never returned. The adults all knew that they must have met a terrible end, but none of them dared to say it in front of the Child.
Lu Linlin held her Daughter and leaned on her Mother, looking at Mu Mu with red eyes: “Mom…”
This soft cry made Lu Min Feng pause his steps as he was about to leave. He quickly took out his Hovercar, Particle Transformation it, and broke into the Air Raid Shelter.
Is it really his Older Sister?
The one in her arms should be her Child?
Seeing that they were already several years old, Lu Min Feng’s eyes turned red as he looked at his frail Mother and Sister: 【A Chu, I found my Mother and Sister. They’re at the place Han Song first came to. He just said to have you come and trade with them. I’ll send you the Images of my Sister and Mother. I’m going to the second place with him immediately. My Father and the others aren’t here, I’ll continue looking.】
Upon receiving Lu Min Feng’s message, Sang Chu was stunned. She didn’t expect to find two so quickly. Looking at the photos sent back, Mu Xue’s eyes turned red: “It’s so difficult here.”
They were all sallow and thin, and many children were just skin and bones. The elders were no different from skeletons.
And on the ground around them were all gnawed Tree Bark and dirt.
“A Chu, can we… can we also take them away?”
“Okay, we’ll take them away.”
“Mm.”
Mu Xue hugged Sang Chu tightly, burying her head on her shoulder. She knew she was being overly sympathetic, but she really couldn’t bear to see so many people die here. They had the Strength to save them now, didn’t they?
Sang Jing Wen and the others also had considerable gains. They rode in a Hovercar through the underground and discovered many large trees, all of which had their cores hollowed out.
【Sang Sang, take a look at the situation here.】
After opening Vision Sharing, Sang Chu saw the large trees Sang Jing Wen mentioned. The trees seemed to be incubating Crystal Cores?
【Brother, approach them carefully so I can take a look.】
【Okay.】
Sang Jing Wen controlled the Hovercar to slowly approach the large tree. Only then did he see that inside was actually a person, another Treant. However, this one was clearly more human-like than the one outside their Base.
When Sang Chu saw that person, she suddenly remembered Qin Si Feng’s words.
If the ones left behind after Purification were all like this, would this World ever return to its former state?
This was a question she hadn’t dared to think about before, but now she had to face it.
After Purification, what remained were either Supernatural Ability Users, Monsters, or high-level Zombies. This World was no longer the World she knew.
【Brother, Lu Min Feng has found his Mother. You guys should come back first.】
【Okay, we’ll leave then.】
Seeing such things, both of them felt their scalps tingle. As soon as they heard Sang Chu tell them to leave, they left without a second thought.
