Lingluo went to the canteen of the base. It was the first time she had eaten in the canteen after coming to the eastern base for so long.
During the three months in the research institute, people basically sent food in. The research institute also had its own kitchen. It was not special treatment, but the time in the laboratory was tight. They did not have enough time to leave the research institute and go to such a distant canteen.
The food was the same as usual. There were simple meat and vegetables. Most of the meat was canned meat. The vegetables were potatoes and sweet potatoes that were easy to grow. The main food was rice and noodles. It seemed that before the apocalypse, the eastern base had such a plantation, but it was relatively small.
Lingluo had also heard that the agricultural scientists had begun to study how to use the limited land to cultivate food and achieve the small goal of making the base self-sufficient.
They were all in the same research institute, so he didn't need to ask around to know this.
Other than crystal cores, there were also contribution points that could be used for transactions in the base. However, Lingluo's treatment was slightly better. She could get food with her research institute certificate. Anyway, she didn't eat in the cafeteria often.
The base also had electricity. As long as there were people who knew the technology, it was not particularly difficult to supply electricity to a base.
The real problem was the zombie crowd that was spreading outside.
After getting a bowl of rice and a bowl of potato soup, Lingluo found a seat in the canteen and sat down. Not long after, someone came over.
"Hello, Dr. Zhou. Let me introduce myself. I'm Ji Yu.”
Compared to his handsome and tall appearance in military uniform, what was more eye-catching was his dark and clear eyes. They were bright and shiny, and it was easy to gain trust and affection.
Lingluo tilted her head slightly and adjusted her gaze so that she didn't need to look up at him." I'm not a doctor. I'm just an ordinary researcher.”
Ji Yu's lips curled up, but he was not as flirtatious as an ordinary handsome man. Instead, he had a different kind of sunny confidence." Dr. Zhou, you must be joking. Before the apocalypse, you were only one step away from getting your PhD. It's the results you've contributed to in the base's research institute over the past few months.”
Lingluo raised her eyebrows slightly. The investigation was quite detailed.
She smiled." Let's sit down and chat." Of course, she wasn't the only one who had been contacted. She was just the newest one.
Ji Yu had just sat down when he heard Lingluo say bluntly," I haven't been at the base for long, so I'm not very familiar with your name.”
"It's okay. I'm not very famous in the base.”Ji Yu instantly forgot that not long ago, he was still considered the most potential to break through to the fifth step and was regarded as one of the strongest in the base.
He stared at Lingluo and said," I heard from my father that you're an excellent medical talent.”
Lingluo frowned." Your father is…"
Ji Yu didn't hide anything." General Ji Mingsheng is also one of the main people in charge of Dongfang Base.”
So it was the military. Lingluo pondered for a while but didn't figure out anything, so she temporarily remembered it.
Ji Yu only chatted with Lingluo for a while, but they were all things that they could talk about. For example, the recent absorption of crystal cores to increase their superpowers, and the situation at the base.
On the other hand, it helped Lingluo, a researcher who had stayed in the laboratory for three months, understand a lot of information about the outside world.
Chatting with Ji Yu wasn't boring at all. To describe it, he was very charismatic.
Ji Yu also had a rough evaluation of Zhou Lingluo in his heart. She was a medical genius with a cold personality. It was true that she did not socialize much with others, but she was really smart. The rest was undecided.
As she spoke, Lingluo didn't forget to finish her meal. Whether it was before or after the apocalypse, she never had the habit of wasting food.
It was time for lunch, and more and more people came to the canteen.
"Ji Yu." A few people saw him and came over to greet him.
Ji Yu stood up and smiled." Cheng Guang, Shen Ming."”
Lingluo could clearly see that Ji Yu's smile had a hint of sincerity. She shook her head secretly. There were many military ruffians and there were many scheming people in the army.
Apart from the two young men who had outstanding looks, he also saw a girl who was holding one of their arms, Li Ziqing.
"And this is?" Cheng Guang looked at the unfamiliar person sitting opposite Ji Yu and asked curiously.
Ji Yu introduced him in a friendly manner." This is Dr. Zhou from the research institute.”He turned to Lingluo and said," These are my two friends, Cheng Guang, Shen Ming, and Cheng Guang's girlfriend, Li Ziqing.”
Cheng Guang was a little surprised at how young the other party was, but thinking about it, it was quite normal for there to be a few geniuses among billions of people. If it wasn't for the apocalypse, he probably wouldn't have met them in his lifetime. They weren't in the same circle.
If Cheng Guang and Shen Ming were only surprised, Li Ziqing was numb.
Her initial goal was to cling onto the golden thigh of the future strongest person, Ji Yu. Unfortunately, it was too difficult to defeat him, so she could only settle for the next best thing and choose Cheng Guang. Anyway, he wasn't bad looking and was an outstanding person. Being a third-rank water-type ability user allowed her to be on equal footing with Cheng Guang. Others could only envy him.
However, Li Ziqing did have some regrets, especially when she knew that Ji Yu would become Rong Yuexin's partner in the future. Although Rong Yuexin's ability level was higher than hers and she couldn't do anything to her, she had secretly disrupted their interactions.
She was happy to see that Rong Yuexin would not be happy.
Zhou Lingluo's reappearance only slightly provoked her. It turned out that Zhou Lingluo, who had not died at the hands of zombies, was so powerful that even Ji Yu had taken the initiative to approach her.
Lingluo nodded slightly. She didn't even greet Li Ziqing and left without saying anything.
It suited her cold and focused researcher persona.
After eating, Lingluo didn't go back to the research institute. She walked around the market and found all kinds of things. Most of them were brought back by the people from the base when they went out to clean up the zombies.
Gold, silver, and jewelry were naturally useless. They were not as beautiful as a crystal core in people's hearts. At least crystal cores could be traded.
Lingluo had some crystal cores on her, so she bought whatever she liked or needed.
While she was choosing the items, she suddenly heard a commotion. She turned her head and heard a few words. It seemed that the ability user was forcefully buying. He wanted to buy half a box of noodles with a crystal core that had absorbed all its energy.
Looking around again, others only looked around and did not care. Some even felt that it was natural. Although fighting was forbidden in the base, superpowered people would feel superior to ordinary people, and even the latter would subconsciously feel inferior to superpowered people.
Thinking of the group of scum ability users they met on the road, Lingluo could not help but frown.
It had only been half a year. Could it be that she had really stayed in the experiment for too long?
At this moment, another familiar face appeared. It was Rong Yuexin. She held the hand of a seven or eight-year-old boy and walked to the stall owner. The boy hugged the stall owner and called him daddy.
Rong Yuexin crushed the crystal core that had lost its energy into powder and looked coldly at the superpowered man who had bought it by force.
The ability user saw that the ability badge on the other party's chest was obviously of a higher level than his. His expression changed and he stopped pestering him.
However, at this time, the law enforcement team from the base arrived. Forcing people to buy and sell was forbidden in the trading market. They directly took away the ability user and his companion.
"He was still locked up for two days.”The stall owner next to Luo Luo snorted coldly.
Lingluo turned to look at him with a puzzled expression on her face. Perhaps she saw that Lingluo wasn't an ability user, but an ordinary person like them. The stall owner said in a low voice," A few days ago, an ability user fought with an ordinary person. They were clearly punished, but that ability user was released after being locked up for two days. He said that he had a mission. It's obvious that the higher-ups are biased towards ability users.”
"Ability users have the ability, but ordinary people like us don't.”The stall owner was a little cynical, but there should be many people with the same views.
Lingluo turned around and saw the stall owner and his wife thanking Rong Yuexin profusely with their child.
Rong Yuexin noticed Ling Luo's gaze and looked over.
Lingluo smiled at her.
"I couldn't tell that you're quite kind-hearted.”Ling Luo asked casually as she walked in the market with Rong Yuexin.
Rong Yuexin frowned." It was that child who grabbed my clothes, so I took action.”
As far as she was concerned, she would not meddle in other people's business.
She could control one thing, but she couldn't control everything. The fundamental problem was the strength of the ability, so it was normal for them to have different statuses. Rong Yuexin was also a newly famous superpowered person. It was impossible for her to look at the problem from the perspective of an ordinary person.
She was only responsible for living her own life.
Rong Yuexin unconsciously revealed such emotions when she spoke to Lingluo.
Lingluo smiled and didn't deny it.
She did not forget to ask about Gao Lan, Yun Mo, and the others. Rong Yuexin had not paid attention to that team since she entered the base. She recalled for a long time before she vaguely remembered." I think it's the second-grade team in the base."”
Lingluo didn't ask further. It was good that she was alive.
She only had one day of rest. After bidding farewell to Rong Yuexin, Lingluo returned to the research institute.
Then, he stayed for another two months.
However, the base was shocked by the newly announced research on crystal cores. Absorbing the energy of crystal cores without any protection would increase the level of their superpowers and accumulate zombie viruses in their bodies.
In the base's research institute, Ji Yu had sent over a few ability users who had started to have mental problems from over-absorbing their abilities. Lingluo explained to him.
"It's very normal, just like how humans will be infected with parasites and bacteria when they eat raw meat during their uncivilized period. Just like how the zombie virus infected humans and turned them into zombies, the main host body was the brain.”
