Chapter 752: She Has a Pair of Zombie Parents (48)
"If the base wants these people back, they should gather the items on the list."
The chosen person was Qi Jun, whose face turned red as he looked at Qiann Yan. How arrogant.
The Ruan Xian couple were a bit confused, so it’s not just a matter of beating them up and letting them go?
They still need to use items to exchange?
"Mom and Dad, there’s no other choice. Dou Huai’s current research is crucial, he needs more resources."
The Ruan Xian couple immediately stopped hesitating. To live in a better world, a bit of thuggery is nothing; the other side provoked first.
The base later arranged several people to negotiate, but to no avail.
Qiann Yan grew impatient, "You could also swap some of your researchers instead."
Raising a zombie researcher is one thing; having a few human researchers doesn’t hurt.
Of course, the base disagreed. The base had expanded in size; all forces were gradually stabilizing, and the more talents gathered meant better development for the base.
Ultimately, the base’s top management grudgingly gave the items on Qiann Yan’s list.
However, they didn’t have everything on the list, so they sent someone over to negotiate with Qiann Yan.
"We’ll compensate with other items."
Qiann Yan appeared non-negotiable and tough, making the base’s top management’s face turn pale.
With over thirty superpower users, including two B-level ones, the base couldn’t afford the loss, so they had to grudgingly accept.
They were shocked by the strength of the two zombies and didn’t plan on provoking her again for a while.
Looking at her demeanor, she seemed difficult to deal with. If provoked again, she might really take the base’s researchers. If they couldn’t protect such high-end talent, the base would lose its people’s support.
Previously, over thirty superpower users had left the base in a grand display, claiming to eliminate zombies, supposedly because someone had hidden a relative who turned into a zombie.
To humans, zombies are dangerous, so sending many superpower users out was not surprising to the base’s people.
However, in the end, only a battered and defeated Qi Jun returned, and seeing his swollen cheeks, the base’s people were alarmed. Could it be that the others sacrificed themselves?
Everyone in the base felt endangered, especially the ordinary people with little attack power. Their faces turned pale, and their eyes filled with despair. They repeated: It’s over, it’s over.
At this moment, things took a turn.
The base’s top management couldn’t hide this matter. Facing countless eyes from the base, they had to grit their teeth and deliver the items Qiann Yan named.
"Am I dreaming?"
"The two zombies didn’t bite anyone; they merely captured the superpower users?"
"I’ve heard they retain human intelligence, so it’s not surprising they didn’t kill. However... they’re still zombies; as long as they don’t enter the base, everything will be fine."
This is the thought of ordinary people. Zombies that even superpower users can’t deal with—what can they do?
They went over to provoke and lost the fight, but everyone remained alive; it was already fortunate to sacrifice some resources and come back.
The opponent is so powerful that even if they can’t occupy the base, they will undoubtedly disrupt their relatively peaceful living conditions.
These ordinary people are fearful of the Ruan Xian couple but don’t particularly dislike them.
Moreover, they sigh with relief: "After all, they were once human; otherwise, we would be in danger today."
"Yes, lucky they have intelligence."
People expressed relief as long as those two zombies didn’t reside inside or occupy the base, everything could be negotiated.
Some superpower users feel differently; they harbor some resentment toward the Ruan Xian couple, though they mostly covet the crystal cores in their heads.
However, Qi Jun and others who were beaten up did not share this thought; rather, they felt somewhat fortunate.
"Aren’t superpower users supposed to be very strong?" Yang YuLann couldn’t believe it when she learned of this situation.
