The talent that Lin An was looking at seemed rather ordinary in terms of its effects.
[Great Speaker (Purple): Your speech has the ability to move people, your words are more infectious, and the ideas you want to express are more easily accepted by others.】
At first glance, it seemed quite ordinary.
However, Lin An thought about it carefully.
This thing, in a certain sense, was quite powerful.
Other than making it easier for him to convince others, it also indirectly strengthened Lin An's leadership and management skills.
It could even be said that it had sped up Lin An's ability to gain a favorable impression of others.
Who wouldn't like a person who was good-natured, handsome, and powerful?
Most importantly, when Lin An asked the simulator about this talent, he received a positive answer.
[The talent can be used on any unit that can communicate and has emotions.】
In other words, mutated animals were among them!
Lin An had no doubt that these mutated animals had emotions to speak of.
Unlike mutated humans and zombies, they were essentially a product of resurrection. They were completely different from basic creatures.
Based on their current observations, they did not have the ability to reproduce. Only by constantly transforming other creatures could they expand their numbers.
As for mutated animals, as expected, they still retained their basic characteristics like humans.
Of course, other than this talent, there was also a talent that was more targeted at mutated animals.
[Beast Tamer: You are naturally good at cultivating feelings with animals. Under your discipline, animals will be more obedient and easier to tame.】
However, after considering the overall effects, Lin An still chose the previous speaker.
Mutated animals were important, but Lin An would still place more importance on his basics.
With the gift of a great speaker, Lin An was now more confident in his plans, including accepting other evolvers into the base on Lonely Boat Island.
It wasn't as if Lin An hadn't thought of looking for stronger ones to enhance his abilities.
However, from the looks of it, his talent was about to overflow. Even now, many of his talents had not been effectively utilized.
Moreover, from the looks of it, his individual combat strength was already top-notch. No matter how strong he was, it was impossible for him to take care of all those monsters alone. Unless he could get a whole number of golden talents that could increase his combat strength, he could only consider using a flat battle strategy.
However, the price of a golden talent was truly dizzying.
At least for now, Lin An had yet to come up with a good way to get so many points. Perhaps he could get ten or twenty thousand points, but the golden talent he wanted was at least a hundred thousand points.
The only pity was that the simulator could only simulate his current abilities and thoughts. He could not directly see the effects of these talents in the simulator.
They didn't even give him an experience period. Bad review!
However, Lin An still spent 3,000 points to purchase the Great Speaker's purple talent.
Then, he temporarily suppressed the thought of simulating. He did not bother to simulate last night. After all, after purchasing the simulator, he could only simulate twice a day. He could simulate whenever he wanted.
He might as well save it for the simulation when he returned to the colony.
Riding the motorcycle with Jiang Qingxue, time passed quickly. The appearance of the gathering place appeared before their eyes.
Even from a distance, Lin An could tell that the atmosphere in the colony was completely different from before he left.
Outside the original gathering place, even the warriors could not help but look tired and haggard. But now, before he even got close, he saw that the warriors were all in high spirits.
Seeing Lin An coming from afar, the sharp-eyed soldier happily picked up the walkie-talkie and said something. Then, he stood up straight and saluted Lin An.
After Lin An and Jiang Qingxue walked in, he smiled and said,""Why are you so polite?"
Even so, he still raised his hand and saluted the soldier.
The soldier's face was red, as if he had seen his idol. He was a little excited."Mister Lin, I, I…"
"I told you to read too much, but you didn't listen. Now you want to praise others, but you don't know what to say!"”
Ren Shen's laughter came from behind the soldier.
When he saw Lin An, he immediately saluted him. Then, he laughed heartily and gave Lin An a tight hug.
"Xiao Lin! You are the benefactor of our colony!"
Lin An shook his head with a smile, but he didn't reject the offer any further.
In fact, without him, to put it bluntly, with so many mouths to feed, the colony would have to go to J City, and this trip would at least cause hundreds of deaths.
Moreover, it was very likely that the effect would be very limited.
As for the hundreds of survivors who had joined the colony, without Lin An's appearance, it could be said that they would be dead if they didn't evolve.
"I heard that Old Yuan is looking for me?" Lin An went straight to the point. He didn't want to delay any longer. The most important thing was to establish contact with the research institute as soon as possible and promote the rapid emergence of the simplified medicine.
As long as he completed the initial stages of evolution, the number of evolvers would increase by a large margin.
The most important thing was that some technical personnel might also be able to evolve. This way, his lone boat island could continue to carry out more research and find the key to solving the apocalypse.
Lin An needed as many people as possible to help him with post-nuclear reconstruction, as long as he could afford it.
This was also the reason why he had exchanged for the Great Speaker. He now had a faint feeling that the scale of a few hundred people that he had originally thought of might not be able to hold on.
"Yes, Old Yuan heard from Xiao Yan about what happened in the city and was so worried that he didn't eat for the whole day.”
Ren Shen shook his head, but he still smiled and said,""However, no matter how difficult it is, isn't there hope now?”
"Yes, as long as there's hope and a direction to work in, the days will always pass.”Lin An sighed with emotion as well. When he first saw the information that appeared in the simulator, he was also at a loss.
The two of them chatted as they walked toward the entrance. Lin An and Jiang Qingxue parked their motorcycles at the entrance.
"Little Jiang, you go back first. I'll look for you after I'm done talking to Old Yuan.”
After the qualitative change in their relationship, even Lin An seemed reluctant to part with her, let alone Jiang Qingxue.
"Oh," Jiang Qingxue replied, but she stopped in her tracks. She looked at him and blinked.
Lin An glanced at Ren Shen and shook his head helplessly. He walked over and hugged her.
"See you later."
Only then did Jiang Qingxue bid farewell obediently. She turned around and left with a smile. Her footsteps were light, and the smile on her cold face was unforgettable.
Ren Shen was caught off guard and could only endure the spiritual attack. He was a little envious, but he could not help but sigh. Perhaps this was what a good match was.
Lin An continued to look for Old Yuan as if nothing had happened. Ever since he had decided to bring the three girls together, he felt that his skin had grown thicker.
There was nothing he could do. Even if he was thin-skinned, he wouldn't be able to grasp it.
The two of them walked into the camp. Along the way, countless people took the initiative to greet Lin An, including the survivors who had received follow-up assistance. Their attitudes were the most enthusiastic.
Before they returned to the camp, they already knew that the rats that had rummaged through the chests and cabinets to find them were Lin An's abilities.
Lin An had saved them!
Even though the camp had yet to go to J City to search for supplies, the days were still a little tight. Most people still had to sleep on the streets, but…
There were no more monsters!
At the very least, he did not have to worry about being caught and eaten by monsters for the next few days!
Moreover, everyone knew that Fallout Shelter 033 in the faraway county had already set off and was preparing to meet up.
The days seemed to be getting better!
Amongst the surrounding crowd, Lin An caught sight of a haggard and dirty woman squatting in a corner.
Zheng Li.
She looked at Lin An expressionlessly. Lin An subconsciously activated Mind Reader, but he saw an unexpected emotion.
Zheng Li didn't hate Lin An at all. Instead, she had a greedy desire for him. Her heart was filled with both love and hate, and her target was actually Lu Yao.
This bad woman seems to be interested in me?
Lin An analyzed her complicated thoughts and came to a conclusion that left him speechless. Not only did this woman not hate me, but she also wanted to take me away and make me her man?
It was ridiculous.
Just because I'm the person Lu Yao likes?
You're really sick, sister.
But after a few glances, Lin An retracted his gaze.
It didn't matter. She could do whatever she wanted as long as she didn't get in the way. If she could evolve, she might even be able to help the colony.
With the simulator, he wasn't afraid that she would use any methods to turn love into hatred.
Perhaps, if she changed her feelings for Lu Yao, she might be able to be a useful tool.
Lin An was deep in thought, but he didn't pay much attention to her for the time being.
Other than these survivors, the management of the camp was also very enthusiastic about Lin An.
Along the way, everyone who knew Lin An's name greeted him.
Even those who were too embarrassed to speak would pay their respects and look at him with admiration.
Lin An had experienced this kind of change in Colony 33 in the county town before, and it was a completely different feeling now.
Suddenly, he felt a little emotional. This gaze of anticipation and longing made him feel a little uncomfortable. Only he knew his starting point. Everything he did was for him to live a better life.
Soon, they arrived in front of the battle tent.
Lin An strode in. Old Yuan was holding a satellite phone in his hand and shouting in an unreasonable tone.
"I know you don't have enough resources and space, but can't we bring things over?”
"Dangerous? Do you think I don't understand danger? It's because the situation is so bad now. No matter how dangerous it is, we have to take action, understand?”
"You don't believe me? Wait for orders? Heh, just you wait! Let me tell you, no matter how fast the order comes, I'll go if I have to. If you have the guts, stop us!”
"My benefactor is here. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you now. Get lost!”
Old Yuan hung up the phone, and a bright smile suddenly bloomed on his irritable face. The wrinkles on his old face seemed to have come alive, expressing his joy.
"Lin An! Xiao Lin! My benefactor, you're finally back!”
Old Yuan strode over and didn't give Lin An a chance to reject him. He hugged him and gave him a good beating on his back.
Lin An didn't know whether to laugh or cry."What's wrong? Who were you talking to on the phone just now?"”
"A bastard at the edge of S City. I told him to pack up and prepare to retreat to N City, but he was unwilling.”
"What?" Lin An was stunned."You're going to N City?"”
Old Yuan chuckled."That's for sure. Where else in the world is safer than your home?" And I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, Old Yuan, I plan to follow the path you left.”
"This way, we might be able to avoid a lot of danger. If you have any questions, you can tell me in advance…I won't disturb you, right?"
Old Yuan's eyes were a little perturbed.
He had been thinking about it recently. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that if he randomly chose a place to bring the gathering place to meet up, who knew how many people would die on the way.
Wasn't the safest place the Lonely Boat Island that Lin An had mentioned?
It was a little far. With so many people, it would take at least ten days to half a month to get there. But no matter what, they could reach N City before the zombie horde arrived.
When the time came, he would work with the colony in N City and stay near Lin An's house. If there was any danger, Lin An would only be a few hours away.
It could be said that it was the safest choice to shelter under a big tree.
"It's not considered disturbing." Lin An pondered for a moment before giving an answer.
Old Yuan laughed out loud and immediately pulled Lin An's hand to sit on a chair.""Hurry up, bring me the white wine you brought back last time. I want to drink a few sips with my benefactor.”
"Drinking will cause trouble. Drink less.”Lin An advised.
Old Yuan shook his head and complained,""Benefactor, I used to drink a few mouthfuls every day, but now, I haven't tasted a drop for half a month.”
"Don't worry, it's just a small cup. These few mouthfuls can make me dizzy. I, Old Yuan, will never touch a mouthful in my life!”
Old Yuan said heroically,"If it wasn't for the fact that the opportunity wasn't right, I would have to prove myself. My nickname, Yuan Long, is not a joke. Three bottles won't shake anything, but five bottles will be enough to get you on the brick bed. Don't worry."”
Lin An was amused by his teasing.""Alright, just a few sips. I won't accompany you. I don't like to drink that stuff.”
"Aiya..." Old Yuan was a little depressed and waved his hand."Alright, let's get down to business."
"I think you're just looking for an excuse to drink a few mouthfuls.”Ren Shen teased with a smile.
Old Yuan's face turned red."Don't talk nonsense. Go do your work. What are you doing here?!"”
Ren Shen held back his laughter as he left.
"Forget it, I won't drink anymore. Xiao Lin, let me tell you about the recent situation.”
Yuan Long began to seriously sort out the recent situation.
"First, the information you gave me earlier has been mostly confirmed.”
"I reported it to the research institute, and they replied, but they still want to talk to you in person. I'll give you a satellite phone later, and you can use it to contact them.”
"Other than that, it's the arrangements for our gathering place.”
"Xiao Lin, please tell me the truth... Is our plan to move to N City reliable?”
"Or rather…Do you agree?"
Lin An sat down and tapped his fingers on the table. After a few seconds, he nodded solemnly."There's hope, but there are also difficulties. I have to make it clear to you first.”
