Su Changxing thought for a moment and said, "According to the rules, no one is allowed to enter or leave the base without permission. How are you planning to get out?"
Zhu Xin Xue smiled and said, "I have Boss Huangâs permission. Well, he said I could go out, but if I die, so be it."
Huang Biao is really straightforward.
Su Changxing nodded and said, "Letâs go together. I happen to be going out too, and I can check out your abilities. As for the others, they donât need to come."
After being enhanced, Zhu Xin Xueâs physical strength has surpassed that of an adult, and with the support of her superpower, her combat ability should not be weak.
Zhu Xin Xue nodded, had the others leave first, and followed Su Changxing towards the exit. Her expression seemed slightly excited as she said,
"Master, in fact, after being enhanced, my superpower has become stronger. The maximum repulsion distance has increased by more than half."
Su Changxing thought for a moment and asked, "Whatâs the heaviest object you can repel?"
Zhu Xin Xue shook her head and said, "I havenât tried, but I estimate even something the size of a Screamer should be possible."
Su Changxing was silent for a moment and then said, "Hmm, feels like youâre boasting."
The two of them made their way to the exit, where quite a few outsiders were gathered. Even after the Blood Moon ended, many people came to seek refuge.
A base that could survive the Blood Moon is quite reliable. At least, Su Changxingâs base earned a reputation during the Blood Moon.
They attracted a large number of zombies, even Screamers, and still managed to hold on. Most importantly, most people in their base were ordinary people.
Many self-established bases like theirs were breached by zombies after activating their stronghold.
"Hey, brother, whatâs going on? Are the people at the gate not letting you in?"
A man with a smile on his face saw Su Changxing coming out of the base and called out. His outer clothes were covered in blood and dust, with a slight stubble on his face, giving him a capable appearance.
Su Changxing didnât know what this person wanted, so he nodded calmly and said, "Yes, the people at the baseâs entrance arenât letting us in."
Geng Yong stepped forward enthusiastically, shook hands with Su Changxing, and said,
"My name is Geng Yong. Brother, you wonât be allowed in if youâre with a child. However, you can consider joining us. We can form a group and then get in."
Su Changxing thought for a moment and asked, "So, are you short of people? But the base shouldnât have a minimum number requirement for groups, right?"
Zhu Xin Xue stood behind Su Changxing, blinking, wondering if they werenât out here to kill zombies.
She couldnât tell what Su Changxing suddenly wanted to do.
Geng Yong shook his head, speaking mysteriously in a whisper:
"Not exactly. The base is organized by teams, so the more people we have, the more influence we have. Sometimes thatâs crucial, so joining us now is a good choice for you, brother."
He glanced at the clean-looking Zhu Xin Xue beside them and said,
"This is your sister... If youâre with a child, itâs better to join a larger base. Some bases donât accept children at all. Iâve even heard some groups used to eat children."
Su Changxing nodded in agreement and said, "Unfortunately, we have some matters to attend to. Youâll have to go in first."
Seeing Su Changxing about to leave, Geng Yong hastily called out, "Brother, you wonât get a second chance like this. Let me tell you a secret."
Su Changxing stopped, turned back to look at him, and asked, "What secret?"
Geng Yong smiled slightly, stepped up to Su Changxing, and whispered,
"I heard from a source that this base might have an Extraordinary presence. They likely know the secret to becoming an Extraordinary. If we join this base, we might become Extraordinary too, or at least come in contact with them."
Su Changxing paused for a moment and said, "Is there really such news on the forum?"
This must have been leaked by someone in the base, more like a rumor. If it were an ordinary person, Geng Yong might have fooled them.
Geng Yong waved his hand dismissively and said, "No, someone I know in the base told me. Brother, you canât go wrong following us."
It looked like they really couldnât find anyone else; otherwise, they wouldnât be clinging to Su Changxing, wanting him to join.
Su Changxing thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, but I still canât join you. Letâs meet in the base later."
Geng Yong, a bit frustrated, complained, "You should have said earlier if you already joined another team. Wasted time."
Zhu Xin Xue, following Su Changxing as they walked away, glanced back at Geng Yong, contemplating and saying, "How did he know we have an Extraordinary in the base? Is there a mole?"
Zhu Xin Xue knew her brother became an Extraordinary, but only a few were aware of this news.
Su Changxing gave Zhu Xin Xue a glance, feeling that although she was young, she thought a lot, and said lightly,
"He probably guessed. Itâs easy to have such speculation, and reasonable guesses tend to spread among people."
Zhu Xin Xue nodded thoughtfully, playing with the short dagger in her hands, muttering, "No wonder so many people are joining our base."
After the Blood Moon, a significant number of people still wouldnât choose to join a base. With the threat of the Blood Moon gone, they had little reason to join.
Thirty days, as long as thereâs enough food, a few people can easily get through it.
Su Changxing shook his head and said, "Itâs not just that. Humans are social creatures, and banding together in times of danger is normal. Thatâs also why the base developed so quickly."
