Chapter 325 Treating Oneself Like a Specialty
Mu Yun's gaze fell on Xian Wenrui's mechanical arm, but it did not diminish his anger at all. "No matter what, he is still alive, but my brother is dead."
He even sounded a little discouraged when he said this. His brother was both smart and stupid, especially when it came to interpersonal relationships. He and his brother were both not good at social skills.
He harbored hostility towards Lu Yize and the others, feeling that his brother's death was inextricably linked to them, and also thinking that these people might be the ones who were truly connected to the Zerg.
But he also knew that his base was not safe either, and even Jiang Qinghai could not be completely trusted. No, in this apocalypse, there was no one who could be trusted.
Zombies, humans, and alien sea beasts are wary of each other, and there is a barrier between people, making it impossible to know what the other is really thinking.
At this moment, Lu Yize looked up and saw a woman standing next to Mu Yun, who kept staring at him for some reason. Lu Yize frowned, feeling that this person might be sick.
Chen Mingzhang recognized the person and lowered his voice to speak softly, "That woman is called Lin Min. She has psychic abilities. Although we haven't had much contact, she should be able to read minds. We should try to minimize contact with her."
Hearing this, Jiang Yue followed their gaze and looked in that direction. The girl was looking them up and down, but it was clear that she was most interested in Lu Yize.
Jiang Yue glanced at Lu Yize, then at the woman, feeling displeased. She stood in front of Lu Yize, blocking the woman's view.
Lin Min ignored her stubborn and childish behavior. Since her superpowers were awakened, she could see into people's hearts. Her world had become extremely noisy, and she could hear what people were thinking.
All the secrets were exposed to her eyes—disgusting, filthy, and despicable thoughts. Everyone's ugly side was laid bare, and she looked down on their foolish and pathetic nature.
Everyone has secrets, yet everyone is also completely transparent to her. Just like this zombie in front of her, who is madly in love with the man beside her, she immediately notices that she is interested in that person, and becomes wary, dissatisfied, and jealous.
No, Lin Min felt that dealing with someone using such methods didn't even require using superpowers; it was so straightforward that anyone with a brain could understand what this zombie was thinking.
People like her are the norm. Lin Min finds the world incredibly boring. When you have no secrets from anyone, you gradually become numb, and everything becomes so dull.
However, although she doesn't understand why, she can't understand or hear the thoughts of the person in charge of the Nanling base in front of her, which is very interesting.
She sensed the zombie's jealousy, Chen Mingzhang's apprehension towards her, and Zheng Lin's delusional, overactive desire to save the world.
And then there's the fat guy next to him, worrying about whether he'll really go bald. Their inner thoughts are easy to understand, and while they're more comforting than many nauseating ones, they also reveal a predictable level of boredom.
The only person standing next to that zombie was someone she couldn't understand, couldn't comprehend, and couldn't read his thoughts. Just like before her superpowers awakened, he was the only one who wasn't transparent to her.
Lu Yize noticed the look in the eyes of the legendary psychic, but what did that have to do with him?
If Lin Min could read Lu Yize's mind, she would find that Lu Yize's world is probably such that, apart from him and Jiang Yue, nothing else is that important.
Xian Wenrui and his group were like-minded companions, while Jiang Qinghai and Lin Min were just passersby who were easily forgotten and not even worth thinking about.
The reason they came here today was, of course, to reach a conclusion on the matter they had discussed before. Although she had a lot of curiosity, Lin Min suppressed her interest and focused her attention on the mission.
The parties found a meeting room and sat down. Lin Min spoke first, "Lu Yize, the Donggu Base is willing to acknowledge the Nanling Base that you established."
Lu Yize didn't even lift his eyelids, pondering whether to cooperate with this group of people, each with their own ulterior motives, or simply turn around and leave.
Besides, what kind of nonsense is this person spouting? Do they need her to acknowledge that they're establishing a base?
She probably has too many people flattering her, which has made her lose her sense of self-awareness and think she's something special.
Lin Min was unaware of Lu Yize's true feelings. Seeing his cold face but lack of resistance, she was tempted. Sure enough, he wouldn't refuse the overtures from Donggu, a large base.
She coughed and continued, "However, you are a small base after all, and resource supply may be difficult. Our Donggu base is willing to accept you and make you our affiliated base."
"Of course, the prerequisite is that you need to deal with the non-humans in the base before joining. If necessary, our Donggu base can help to eliminate them."
As far as she knew, there were many high-level alien beasts, sea monsters, and zombies in that base. If she acted rashly, it would probably only cause considerable losses. It would be better to cooperate from the inside and outside to wipe them out together, and take the opportunity to dig out a large number of high-level crystal cores.
She had barely finished speaking when she immediately sensed the different thoughts in the minds of the people in front of her.
Chen Mingzhang frowned, puzzled as to why she had become so arrogant, while Zheng Lin directly mocked her for her narrow-mindedness and laughed wildly at her claims that the Donggu base was rich in resources while life at the Nanling base was miserable.
Zheng Lin wiped away her tears and thought the person in front of her was really funny. "Yes, yes, we can't afford to eat, we don't have crystal cores to cultivate, and we can only live in a small base. Sister, we're happy to do this, what can you do about it?"
"And become an affiliated base of Donggu? Hahaha, what a hot commodity Donggu is. I feel like my head has been much clearer since I broke away from Donggu."
Thinking of this, Zheng Lin suddenly realized, "Hey, hey, hey, I was wondering why the leaders of these three bases would submit to the aliens. Besides the possibility that they were possessed by the aliens, is it also possible that they were hypnotized or brainwashed by some kind of superpower?"
His words suddenly opened up a new way of thinking. Vincent raised an eyebrow, thinking that it was not impossible. After all, how could a leader who could establish a large base to protect everyone easily submit to the force of aliens?
One incident might be understandable, but the simultaneous occurrence of three leaders is definitely abnormal, and this abnormality is what has led to the current disintegration of the major bases.
Once the leaders of the three bases are controlled, humanity will essentially be under their control. Further escalating the conflict between zombies and humans will cause them to fight to the death.
Regardless of the circumstances, the alien races in Sky City could easily declare them defeated and reap the benefits without lifting a finger.
Amos, who could also see the situation outside from within the supernatural space, was so angry that his remaining soul was almost dissipating. No wonder Hilde hadn't been in a hurry since arriving on this planet.
